Shattered War Veterans Wage Brave
Battle for Health At U. S. Hos-
pital 81, City’s “Land
of Forgotten Men.”
On the Kingsbridge Road, near the
outskirts of the Bronx, lies New
York’s Land of Forgotten Men—where
World War veterans, sorely wounded,
have been paying the supreme sacri-
fice on the installment plan since 1918.
Mor than eight years have elapsed
since the second battle of the Marne,
and 1927 records show that the major-
ity of those first occupants of the
white cots in United States Veterans’
Hospital 81 have given up the hope-
less struggle for life to pass on to
their reward. But the places they left
vacant are being filled rapidly by for-
mer serivce men who have struggled
bravely to “come back to normal” and
have been beaten pitifully by physical
weakness and nervous disorders.
In the eight busy post-war years
most New Yorkers have forgotten to
ask the fate of those nerve racked,
shell-shocked soldiers, the inevitable
residium of the World War. Only a
few of those who pass down Kings-
bridge Road peer behind the high
picket fence that shuts out the spa-
cious thirty acres of government res-
ervation, where the three buildings of
the Veterans’ Hospital are dedicated to
serve nearly a thousand broken men.
FINEST SURGEONS ON STAFF.
Some of the most skilled physicians
and surgeons in the country minister
to the war victims. No expense or ef-
fort is spared to bring them back to
health. In some cases remarkable
cures have been accomplished. What
was once a derelict, a mere shell of a
man, is restored to manhood and is
returned to his place in society. But
in more instances the patient is be-
yond the aid of medical or surgical
skill. All the hospital attendants can
do is to ease the pain a little and di-
vert the mind until the time comes to
“go west.” Then a military funeral is
provided for the unfortunate, who is at
last released from his hopeless pain.
To make life more enjoyable in this
Land of Forgotten Men the govern-
ment has prepared a variety of work-
shops for the practice of occupational
therapy.
“The object of this is to arouse in-
terest, courage and confidence on the
part of the patient,” said Dr. Frank
Albert Davis. “Through such means
it is possible to co-ordinate the mind
and the body toward a more normal
state, to overcome his mental and
physical disability and to re-establish
in the patient the greatest possible
capacity for social and industrial ad-
justment. Music is another form of
occupational therapy which can be
utilized with beneficial results.”
MAKES FRIENDS OF CASES,
Every man in the hospital is known
to Dr. George F. Brewster, the com-
manding officer, who by personal in-
terest endeavors to make a friend out
of every patient instead of a “case.”
. “All of the men seem to appreciate
friendliness,” said Doctor Brewster,
“even though ‘they may be sick unto
death.
“Every attendant ir the hospital is
trained to cultivate memory for
names. This helps to remove the in-
stitutional atmosphere which is not
good in the treatment of mental
cases.”
The cne man who is in daily contact
with cvery resident of the hospital is
the Protestant chaplain, the Rev. Dr.
Glarence’ G. Reynolds, for many years
pastor of a Presbyterian church in
Elizabeth, N..J., now on the staff of
the :Army and Navy Y. M. C. A. of
New York City. He knows every pa-
tient by his first name and acts as
confidant and friend to them all.
, Letter writing for the men who are
incapacitated by disease is one of
@haplain Reynolds’ chief duties. Fre-
quently it is the last letter of the boy
to his mother, the husband to his wife,
or: the youth to his sweetheart, pen-
wed just a few hours before death.
'CHAPLAIN'S DUTIES MANIFOLD.
+ “It does the boys good to have some
ene to talk to,” said Dr. Reynolds.
“Many of them are so sick that there
is little hope for their recovery, and
the ‘best one can wish for them is a
speedy release from their pain. Very
few of them are bitter about the war
which is responsible for their pain and
suffering. Many of them seem to
find great comfort in religion. They
like to remember events of bygone
days and to talk a bit sadly of the
hopes. and ambitions that were once
theits but can never be fulfilled.”
While Doctor Reqnolds is the Prot-
estant “chaplain, he is welcomed by
men of other denominations as well
as by the Jewish and Catholic in-
mates. He is supported by the army
and navy branch of the Y. M. C. A.,
the only chaplain of the association
in this district. The “Y” is aided in
this work by the Protestant churches
of New York City.
hihwoln Highway Best Improved.
The. Limeoln highway between New
York and! San Francisco, 3,142 miles
in length, has been improved by the
States and counties on all but 41
miles of its entire distance. This 41
miles is located in Utah. Moreover,
its entire length is uniformly marked
with the characteristic Lincoln high-
way -signs, enameled in red, white and
blue on a steel background.
Forty-one miles is 1.3 per cent. of
3142 miles, hence a motorist is now
affered a road between New York and
San Francisco 98.7 per cent. improv-
In an address delivered by the sec-
retary of agriculture before the Amer-
ican association of state highway of-
ficials of Pinehurst, N. C., the secre-
tary pointed out that by following a
mere or less circuitous route between
Washington and San Diego one could
find a road 97 per cent. improved. In
his: article the secretary says that the
taiate he describes is merely a collec-
tiem of improved roads and does not
epincide with any of the United States
toutes.. Neither is it identical with

out three other transcontinental roads
one of which is 88 per cent. improved
another 75 per cent. improved, the
third 68 per cent. improved. In his
calculations apparently he has inad-
vertently overlooked the improve-
ments that have been made upon the
Lincoln highway, which leads all other
possible routes as the shortest and
most improved between the two
coasts.
The fact that the Lincoln highway
is best improved is generally well
known to motorists as evidenced by
the fact that during the touring sea-
son it carries the largest amount of
travel. Moreover, it is the route that
has always been selected to establish
transcontinental records—for the sim-
ple reason that one attempting to
make a rapid drive across the country
carefully selects the best improved
road. One of the great advantages
the motorist has in following the Lin-
coln highway is that it is not neces-
sary for him to make inquiry; the
constant procession of permanent,
uniform signs assures him that he is
on his road all the time. It is the
only transcontinental route that is
uniformly marked.
Odd Signal Codes Used in Football.
Signals in football are essential,
manifestly, but their importance can
be overstressed. They became more
and more complex in the later nine-
ties, running into problems in addi-
tion, multiplication, subtraction, even
division, until football threatened to
become an advanced course in mental
arithmetic, writes Amos Alonzo Stagg
in the Saturday Evening Post.
Long signal drills were held at
night. Such complexity defeated it-
self and more ground was lost by the
inability of players to remember their
own signals than was gained through
the opposition’s mystification. I nev-
er have heard of algebraic signals,
but it is my observation that every-
thing has been tried once in football,
and therefore quite possible that “Let
x equal the ball’ has been propounded
by some quarterback.
In this period some coaches and
schools wasted much valuable effort
in trying to steal or buy the rival's
code, usually for the big game, and
spies were as thick, by report, as they
2fe in an E. Phillips Oppenheim nov-
el.
I always have ignored the other fel-
low’s signals. A player worth his salt
can see far more with his eyes than
he can hear with his ears in defensive
play.
Carlisle is said to have used Indian
words during Jim Thorpe’s time, but
so many -different tribes and languages
were represented on the team that it
served little advantage. Possibly
their “Chattahoochees” and “Wawa-
missinings” were intended only to dis-
‘tract the paleface’s attention.
If there is any jargon unintelligible
to the uninitate it is the terminalogy
of sailing ships, and the early Annap-
olis elevens used to sing a very salty
signal. The left half was the mair-
mast, the fullback the mizzen, and the
anchor called for a kick. To hear a
navy quarter sing out, niuri the top-
gallant clew lines and hands by the
halyards,” shivered the timbers of
many a landlubberly opponent.
When Childs of Yale coached Indi-
ana he took a leaf out of the nautical
practice. The Hoosiers came up to
play us one year, lined up in double
file, and chanted their signals in uni-
son to set up a rhythm, on the same
theory that the sailor sings a chantey
but the idea is thoroughly sound.
being in the right position at the right
second on. shift plays. Men cannot be
shifted back and forth effectively
without some form of rhythm. Some
of the team, at times all eleven, must
know precisely when the ball will be
snapped, and to insure more than two
or three men wokring in perfect uni-
son, some method of timing is manda-
tory. The army drill master’s “onc-
two-three-four” will serve, so will a
popular song. melody—anything that
can be accented rhythmically, the ball
going into play on the agreed em-
Hurdlers frequently hum some
rhythm under their breath to time
their stride properly between hurdles.
Childs used to train his middle and
long-distance runners at Indiana be-
hind a sulky pulled by a harness horse
to teach them pace.
Something of Swede Oberlander’s
deadly aceuracy last season, I have
heard, was due to his timing his
passes to the rhythm of: .

W. R. North Writes of Conditions at
Syracuse Mission.
Chungking, China, Jan. 18th.
Dear Home Folks:
Just a few lines, as I am very busy
about many things these days. Sarah
and Billy left here for Shanghai early
yesterday morning on board the Chi
Chwan, an American river steamer.
The activities of Gen. Kiang Kai Shek,
the southern military leader, around
Hankow, and his move toward Shang-
hai have led our consul to anticipate
foreign intervention to protect for-
eign-owned property and the foreign-
controlled customs. The lead will no
doubt be taken, in such a case, by the
British government, but consul Adams
fears that Americans will be drawn
into it, also. Should such an event
occur it wouldn’t be healthy for
foreigners in the interior. He has
therefore advised all women and chil-
dren to get out, and all men west of
Chungking.
On board with Sarah were some
thirty other Americans, most of whom
are her intimate friends, so she is not
alone. There is nothing to worry
about, although there might have been
had she remained. Those of us who
remained are getting ready to leave
on short notice, taking with us as
many of our earthly: possessions zs
have not been sent down with our
wives, or can’t be sold, as possible.
There are plenty of steamers here,
and five foreign gunboats, so you need
not fear for the safety of yours truly.
Remember, that anything may happen
in China, and it is quite possible that
all this affair won’t happen—foreign
intervention, I mean—and Sarah may
be back here in a few months. Any-
how, everybody is O. XK. now, and
likely to be from now on. Sarah will
write you from Shanghai. Her address
will be care of Rev. W. A. Main, Asso-
ciated Mission Treasurer, 23 Yuen
Ming Yuen Road, Shanghai, China.
Will keep you informed as to furth-
er developments. Don’t send anything
of value to Chungking until you are
further advised. :
It made us almost sick to think of
tearing up our house and leaving ail
our associations here, foreign and
Chinese, but it seemed the only safe
course to pursue. I have always been
a confirmed optimist in regard to
conditions here, but the seriousness of
the possibilities at present, under the
radical leadership of Kiang Kai Shek,
made me feel it advisable for Sarah
and Billy to get to a place a bit more
secure than this in case of trouble.
Yours as ever,
W. R. NORTH.
A Different Florida.
Dr. W. S. Glenn, of State College,
has spent many winters in Florida.
He was there before the boom, when it
so that his opinion as to the effects of
the deflation is one of considerable in-
terest.
In a recent letter to this office he
wrote as follows:
The Watchman comes regularly
every Monday morning and you can’t
conceive how glad we are to see it.
The fine weather continues. 66 de-
grees in the morning and 76 degrees
in the afternoon, with the sun shin-
ing almost all of every day.
Have bought a Hudson coach here
so that we go somewhere nearly every
day. Wednesday we drove up to Earl
Markle’s which is ten miles back in
the Everglades from Stuart. We al-
ways have bought our oranges and

I am told
that much of the fruit was frozen along
the west coast during the cold weather
of January so that the fruit ‘trop is
likely to fall very far short of normal
product.
Work here and all over Florida is
very scarce. Every day people are
starting north because they can find
nothing to do here. If they could only
get more farmers into the Glades
there would be a different outlook, for
the soil is se rich there that'vegeta-
ble gardening ‘could be made very
profitable. But carpenters, plasterers,
painters are surely not needed here
now. mh
Very little real estate is changing
hands here and what transfers are
being made are at just about half the
price of last year. Hundreds who
sold at the peak have had to take
back their properties. Some of them
give back the money paid but many
don’t. They have some sort of law
here in Florida covering just such
cases and I have heard many argu-
ments on it, but just ean’t understand
| what it really is.
Living is much cheaper than it has
been for three years and generally
speaking the place is very much im-
proved over a year ago, notwithstand-
ing the storm’s ravages. The large
new hotels that I wrote of last winter
are all completed and everything
about them beautiful so that the effect
is one of a completed city rather than
a litter of building materials and a
babel of building noises. Have not so
far seen a sign that there ever was a
hurricane and the thing that puzzles
is as to how the great army of realtors
got away so quick.
Our stay here, so far, has been
about the pleasantest season we have
spent in Florida, principally because
the frenzy of boom days are lacking
and it is more like one’s idea of an
ideal place to spend a restful and
pleasant winter.

Codfish Led to Discovery of America,
it is Now Believed.
Paris.—Codfish and not the riches
of India was the inspiration that led
to the discovery of America, and it
wasn’t Christopher Columbus, but a
Frenchman who made the discovery,
anyway, says the well-known French
writer, Leon Sazie.
The desire of the people along the
Basque coast, Sazie says in an article
published here, to eat codfish, not only
on Fridays, but on most of the other
days of the week, led to the Ameri-
can discovery.
Any one at all conversant with his-
tory, he says, krows that the peeple of
Spain and the French Basques got into
the habit of eating codfish long
before 1492, and the place where
the fishermen went to fetch their fav-
orite food was off the Newfoundland
banks. :
The wealth of India myth as a de-
termining factor in the discovery of
America is exploded,” the writer says.
In fact, he continues, it was these
Basque fishermen who first took Co-
lumbus across the ocean, having
crossed it themselves long before.
The next startling theory advanced
by M. Sazie is how the Navajo In-
dians got their name. There were a
lot of people, the theory runs, from
Navarr and Gascony on the New-
foundland fishing trips, and what
could be more natural than that the
Navajo Indians got their mames from
the Frenchmen who hobnebbed with
the North American Indians before
Columbus was born.
Hardy Basque“ fishermen, in fact,
Sazie says, knew their way around the
world long before Magellan made his
famous voyage of circumnavigation.
As proof, he cites various names borne
by members of the Japanese aristoc-
racy, which, he says, are Basque in
origin, with the added assertion that
there are many Basque and Gascon
words and modes of expression in the
Japanese language.
Hancock a Real Patriot
During the siege of Boston, Gen-
eral Washington consulted congress
upon the advisab'lity of bombarding
Boston. John Hancock, a @istin-
guished merchant, was the president
of congress. When Washington's let-
ter was read, a silence ensued, and
all waited John Hancock’s opinion.
Naturally, he was personally inter-
ested to a great degree, for his large
and valuable estate was located in
the heart of Boston. John Hancock,
after a moment's silence, addressed
the committee in the following words:
“It is true, sir; nearly ail the property
I have in the world is in houses and
other real estate in the town of Bos-
ton; but if the expulsion of the Brit-
ish army from it, and the liberties
of tre country, require their being
burnt to ashes—issue the order im-
mediately for that purpose.”—The

“Night Telephone Sale.”
A department store in Washington,
D. C., recently announced a “night

twelve articles of various kinds, rang-
ing from golf balls to pearl necklaces.
The rush kept ten telephone operators
busy from six to nine o’clock in the
evening, the hours of the sale. :

This Interests You
The Workman’s Compensation
Law went into effect Jan. 1,
1916. It makes insurance compul-
sory. We specialize in placing
such insurance. We inspect
Plants and recommend Accident
Prevention Safe Guards which
Reduce Insurance rates.
It will be to your interest to
consult us before placing your
Insurance.
