THE MICHIGAN DAILY ....,. . I HOMES FIND MOST UNINHABITABLE; FOOD AND CLOTHING FROM RED CROSS Paris, Nov. 13.-Carrying their little' bundles of household possessions, the French refugees are returning to their homes in Chateau Thierry and the little French villages around it, to Vaux, Lucy, Belleau and the rest, places now a part of American his- tory. They are coming back to ruins of villages and houses demolished by German or American artillery, to live in cellars and in the shelter of totter- ing walls until they can rebuild their homes and their return is a pitiful spectacle. Sometimes they find no home at all. Never do they find any furniture. Oft- en they find no food, and then the American Red Cross steps in and helps them. The woman who can dig out her stove from a heap of dirt and plaster and patch it up again so that it will 'burn counts herself inordin- ately lucky. One woman found re-' maining of all her household goods just one big salt-cellar. Forks are worth their weight in gold, and a feather bed is prized above rubies. Five thousand five hundred blankets the Red Cross shipped out to returning refugees in a single week. Old Homes Uninhabitable The people in the Aisne will not be able to spend the winter in their own villages. The villages on the , banks of the little Marne are too utterly bat- tered by shells to afford them hab- itations during the winter weather. Now, while days are warm and skies are blue, their owners can find some .tiny corner or other to live in, but the rain and mud and chilly damp of a French winter will drive them, or if' it does not a paternal government will send them, back to their temporary' homes in the uninvaded provinces to wait for spring. One purpose in sending them homet so quickly was to harvest the wheat crops but there was no food, so the Red Cross established canteens in many villages and served two meals a day free to those too poor to pay while others paid small sums. Forty carloads of food were sent to the Marne and the Aisne' in a single month. A grocery store has been op- ened in Chateau Thierry which al- ready a busy town again, though the walls of its houses have been shat- tered and torn by shells. To keep in- truders out the residents scrawl on their homes in chalk "Proprietor re- turned" or "House occupied." Trucks Supply Food to Villages Rolling stores on trucks tour through the villages in the valleys of the Oisne and Aisne to supply the returning refugees with food, cloth- ing and household utensils. Demands come for coffee mills, , scrubbing brushes, pails, knives, forks, spoons, and pots for the people taking up housekeeping again as literally all that they left behind them when they fled has been destroyed or carried away to Germany. To Amiens the refugees are just be- ginning to return, but they will come soon in large numbers, -and they will find the Red Cross ready to receive them. There is a big building in Amiens that was a boys' school in those half-forgotten days when the city was not under shell fire. It be- longs to the Red Cross now, and its class rooms are turned to strange uses. There is a big "salle de recep- tion," where the returning refugees are sorted out and their needs ascer- tained. There is a canteen that serves two hot, nourishing meals a day. There is a long dormitory with beds for the weary ones who came back to find empty rooms and roofless houses. There are two dispensaries, and dis- pensary doctors find much to do in a country where people live precarious, hand-to-mouth existences. Red Cross Supplies Clothing U. S. WILL ED UCATE ITS DISABLED SOLDIERS RICHARD CARLE, WHO WILL BE seen in his musical comedy, "Furs and Frills", at the Whitney theater, Sunday, Nov. 17. i WILL MAINTAIN MEN AND GIVE ALLOWANCE TO FAMILY DUR- ING SCHOOL Washington, Nov. 13. - Offices are now open in 14 of the chief cities of the United States to receive the appli- cations of disabled soldiers and sail- ors of the American army and navy for free education to equip them for the vocation for which they are most fit- ted. These offices have been estab- lished by the federal board for voca- tions and are in the following cities: Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Cincin- nati, St. Louis,- Dallas, Denver, Chi- cago, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Seattle. At each office are stationed men to advise the disabled fighters as to what they are entitled to reecive, a medical officer and a man to obtain employment for them when they are ready to go to work. It is promised by the federal board that applications will be sympathetically considered with the best interests of the disabled men in mind. Will Be Paid $65 Per Month While receiving re-education the government will pay the disabled man $65 a month and in addition will pro- vide him with the funds necessary to pay educational fees. Each man ac- cepted for re-education will be sent to an institution giving special cow's- es.in the line he has chosen or he will be given instruction in any industry he wishes to learn. During his training period, allow- ances will be made by the government to his dependants such as wife, chil-' dren and mother. These will be fixed in proportion to the amount they re- ceived while he was in active service. When the disabled man has finish- ed his training, the federal board promises to have employment ready for him. After he has gone to work again his compensation from the War Risk Insurance bureau begins and will continue unaffected by the amount of his earningq. In making these announcements the federal board for vocational education states: Take Low Grade Positions "The worst mistake a disabled man can make is to drift into a low grade, unskilled occupation. Without any training he must compete with the normal man in a line of work where brute strength and physical fitness alone count and there can be no doubt as to the outcome when work becomes slack. Every consideration requires that a disabled man should obtain permanent employment at a desira- ble age in the position for which he is best fitted or for which he can be- coie best fitted. Otherwise his ca- reer will consist of alternate periods of more or less undesirable employ- ment, idleness, trying to live on his pension and picking up an occupa- tion. No self-respecting veteran of this great war can afford to be placed in this position. There is only one escape by which these men may make GARRICK Matinees I Wednesday and DETROIT Saturday F.

Twelve thousand garments went out from Paris in a sigle day. And they furnish work for people, who must have a little money if they areto live. They have an extraordinary way, those Picardy peasants, of accepting facts. They go back to live under im- possible conditions as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It never occurs to them to do anything else. There may be only one wall of a house left but it is home. "There are few ways in which American re- source and energy can be better em- ployed than in strengthening a phil- osophy and courage like that," says one Red Cross worker. War Does Not Affect Grinnell's Count. The official count of college students has shown that the registration at Grinnell, Iowa, is almost normal. The majority of educational institutions have shown a great falling off in num- bers but the decrease at Grinnell is only two per cent. The number of in-coming students has actually in- creased for the freshman class is un- usually large this year.

Charles Ray is star, it is a Paramount picture and was produced by Thomas H. Ince, all of which vouches for its excellence, The manner in which Mr. Ray, in the character of a young man who has ideas of his own, instills new life into the big store of the small town is one of the funniest ideas that has been introduced into a motion picture in many months. - Victor L.

Only commendation from my patrons. You can't go wrong on this picture."-Centennial Theatre, Warsaw, Ind. "The Safety Curtain" is a dandy. Book it and boost it to the skies. Norma is a sure winner.-F, M. Nicodeme, Rialto Theatre, Dickinson, N. D. TODAY AND TOMORROW "The Safety Curtain" offers Norma Talmadge every chance to display those Talmadge characteristics which have won her the praise of the millions who have seen her on the screen. There are few actresses working be- fore the camera today who can equal Miss Talmadge in a role calling for emotional acting. AnA there are fewer still who can drop the characteristics of the emotional actress and take up the role of a charming little care-free girl of the ingenue type. It is this versatility that has placed Miss Tal- madge in the front rank of our best screen actresses. As Puck, the music hall dancer in "The Safety Curtain," she fairly twinkles through the entire six reels. Eugene O'Brien is again her leading man, "The Safety Curtain" will be shown at The Arcade today and tomorrow.
