I Lew II. Pnlmcr, acting Commissioner i df tho State Department of Labor and 'Industry, mado that announcement at today's . session of the American Academy of Social and Political Science In making public the result of a canvass of 900 Industrial plants In this State. , Mr. Palmer declared Industrial ac j cldents In this State In two and a halt years, ended July 1, had crippled more men than were crippled In tho Canadian . army In four years of war. ', The meeting of the Academy Is for the purpose of discussing the rehabili tation of the maimed heroes of thowar. Pennsylvania ITrat Pennsylvania was the first State In the Union to realize the conditions that inust be met after the war's end and to take step3 toward providing employ ment for the blind and the cripples, the speaker asserted. Seven months before Congress adopted tho rehabilitation act,1 Pennsylvania, through the Department of Labor and Industry, had submitted questionnaires, to 900 Industrial plants for the purposo of ascertaining In what capacity each ' plant could employ the disabled war vet erans, Mr. Palmer said. ' Forty-seven thousand of the fifty thousand jobs awaiting the crippled 'heroes are In Industrial work, accord ing to Mr. Palmer's figures. Nine hun dred are cerlcal, sixteen arc in agri cultural lines and 1200 arc miscella neous. , There arc 4300 positions open for soldiers who have lost ono hand and B600 for those Who have lost ono eye. Sixty-seven hundred positions' await men with repulsive facial dfsUKurcmcnte, .and two Jobs on'o as a telegraph op erator, and one as a cigar maker are being held for soldiers made totally blind. One place is open for a man who loses both arms and 1900 await sol diers who have lost both hands.

Ialmer said. Referring to industrial accldentR, Mr. Palmer said the number of arhputations resulting from accidents In this State were 3798 In tho two and a haf years, while In the four years of war Canada's army had only 1200 amputations. Eleven; hundred and fifty-seven eyes were lost as the result of Industrial ac cidents In the State, ho said, while up to last Spring oply'thlrty-four Canadian soldiers had been blinded. It was Bald. A prediction that labor will command high wages after the war and that dis abled soldiers will find limitless oppor tunities Industry was made by Frederic "WV Keough, ofvthe National Association of Manufacturers of tho United States. Mr. Keough was one of the 'six speakers today who addressed the academy on opportunities for wounded men. The, sessions began yesterday aft ernoon ana wui end this afternoon. ;Every American soldier on the flrinc e," declared Mr. Keough, "ought to line," be buoyed up with the consciousness that if lie suffers Injury, his wounds will be healed, his return home will be expedited, his . special occupational ability .will be analyzed, his ambition stimulated, and every.- effort will be made to enable him to .gain a position of economic independence. Blr Serylce Appreciated "Ho can feel tn his heart that the hardships he updergoes are appreciated and know that a sincere effort Is being made for him. "With the field of labor plowed as It ly one Job but ten for every soldier In jured or disabled. It will take a brave prophet to Indicate the condition of the labor market after the war. The provi dent manufacturer will strain his eyes as far as possible In forecasting the situa tion, Ho will discount the conditions that obtained at the end of the Civil War, when the boundless West extended opportunities to the returning soldiers. Bid nigh for Labor "He will realize, first of all, that, the Industrial nations England, France, Russia and even Germany whatever the status of that pariah may be will btraln every competitive effort; he will bid high for labor, and to the disabled he will extend not only sympathy but opportunity."

The sharp snap In the stiff west wind mado the terrace seats much more popular than grandstand or boxes. 0er coats were much In evidence. Tho weatherman eel talnly touched the whole gamut for this show. Spring and summer on Thursday, autumn yester day and wltcr today. Straw hats that survived the rain of yesterday vanished overnight and felts nnd derbies came Into their own again. Many more men were on hand today. The women, of course, were right on the Job, running their many sideshows, w-hllo cery youngster on the Main Line seemed to hao found a way to get Into the grounds. Tho featuro event of the early ses sion was a jumping doss for pairs of hunters, an army olllcer and a lady to ride. Stars and Stripe Triumph There was an Allied touch to this stunt. Lieutenant Dejune, of the French remount commission, being paired with Mrs. R. Penn Smith, Jr., while Major McDougal, of the British remount com mission, rode with Miss Straw-bridge, and Mtjor Robert A. Straw-bridge, of the American remount division, rode with his w I fl it was the closest kind o fa struggle, with all three couples putting up a fine performance over the difficult outside course. In the end, however, tho Stars and Stripes waved triumphant over the Tri color and the Union Jack. Major and Mrs. Strawbrldge were awaidcd the blue; second place went to Major Mc Dougal and Mies Straw-bridge, while the Franco-American team brought up the rear. A drill by a empany of girl scouts, under command of Miss Ellen Mary Ca-s satt. made a great hit with the crowd, as did also a serhjs of "gymkhana" stunts on the polo field. So many classes were left over from yesterday that it was necessary to run four and even five of them at a time. Fortunately, the polo field is large enough to accommodate even a three ring clrcuB. With today brisk and sparkling, there was a series of "numbers" at the Horse Show that moro than repaid a visit. It was really a bort of three-ring circus, with all kinds of doings on the lawn, the polo field and In the tan bark oval. They had planned a snappy surprise for yestorday nftcrnoon. This was a practice drill by the mounted corps of the Bryn Mawr Home Guard, made up ot men prominent In the business and soclil life of Philadelphia and its vicin ity. The doivnpoud also put a curb on that part of tho program, but they will try again today. Fancy Stunts Today To there is a regular potpourri of a program today, with jumping classes and fancy stunts predominating, and there should be thrills galore on tap,before the final curtain falls. Little Miss Becky Lanier, ten-year-old daughter of Charles D. Lanier, ot New York, was the ' heroine of yesterday's raln-soakod matinee. Riding h'er fath er's clean-limbed chestnut gelding Boil ing, she won the ladies' jumping class, ladles only to ride, by a wide margin. The ring was In awful condition, the take-offs were such only In name, but the youngster, who has a genuine gift for handling horses, lifted Boiling 'over the various, barriers with easy grace. In fact, she was In a class by herself and romped home a winner by acclama tion. This feminist controversy "over the hurdles was the feature event of the day andrew a large and soclally-prom-lnent field. It had been figured In ad vance th.at falls would be many and everybody was on edge, but, strange to say, there was not a single tumble, de spite the swamplike ring .
