tty a strango coincidence I happened to

which, as you may know,. Is Valentine's
Day.
. Tho Penn Charter danco Is given by the
Trident Senior Honor Society, which Is an
absolutely new school organization. It
has taken the place of fraternities since
they havo been, abolished at that schobl.
Only tho leaders of the senlor'class and the

INSTRUCTION AND PAY
FOR DISABLED HEROES
Govfrnnicnt Has Plan Whereby
Men and Women May
Be Educated ,
Instruction for any wounded or disabled
veteran of tho war will bo provided at the
expense of tho, government, according to
announcement mado today by Lieutenant
C. .J. C. Clark, organizer for tho Federal
Board of Vocational Education. During their
courso of study they will rcccivo compen
sation. " ,
The board, which maintains offices at 1000
Penn Bquaro Building, Is anxious to obtain
tho hames of men and women who havo
been returned to their homes wotmded or
lncapaclatfd, and who desire to obtain in
struction that will provldo them with a
means of existence.
The offer applies to soldiers, sailors, ma
rines and women nurses. Tho board main
tains offices In fourteen cities from .Maine to
California. Tho local office functions through
out the States of Pjnnsvlvanla and Dela
ware. Lieutenant ClarK, who formerly was as
signed to Intelligence duty In tho Infantry,
said today the chief trouble was In locating
tho men. The local bureau already has
placed 200 perrons In educational Institu
tions throughout the two States. For single
men the compensation is J65 per month; for
married men. J7B. Hach married man also
is allowed an additional $10 monthly for
dependent children If tho number of tho
latter does not exceed three. --
"Wo want to car for every wounded or
disabled eteran of the war, who at present
Is located In our district." said Lieutenant
Clark.' 'Wo will teach them any trado or
profession they desire to learn. No par
ticular line ot endeavor Is demanded. Tho
educational or trade pursuit Is a matter to
tho choice of tho Individual.
"Except In special instances, all schools
and colleges that have entranco examination
requirements, ,havo waived these. Tho gov
ernment pays the entranco fee and tuition at
tho regular rates for each pcrton placed. In
cases of extreme Illiteracy, private tutors are
furnished to teach the applicant until ho has
a sufficient Knowledge to enablo hint to
proceed with the. ground work of whatever
vocation ho chooses."
The first man to bo placed at tho Univer
sity of Pcnnsvlvnnla went thcro today. Ho
Is Bobcrt A. Illley. of Chester, ltlley for
merly resided In Philadelphia, from which
place ho enlisted In tho marine corps. Ho
was Bhot through tho hips during tho battlo
of Lunovillc. Illley Is taking n course In
metallury.
According to Lieutenant Clark, tho great
est trouble experienced by tho Philadelphia
bureau, which Is In charge of Dr. A. J.
Roland, ono of the director of Drecl In
stitute, Is locating men to whom tho service
Is to be extended. j
"They come off the boats," ho said, "and
naturally go Immediately home, knowing
nothfcig of the chance wo have to offer for
their education. Wc want every person to
know of the work ot this board, particularly
the parents of returned veterans."
To this end Lieutenant Clark has had
mado several thousand motion-picture slide?,
which will bo allow n In every "movie" houso
throughout tho two States.

Nearly every evening furtive undergradu
ates may bo seen slipping as uncsteutaluusly
as possllilo Into tbco places with Hysteri

Yes, that's thp occasion of all the activity
In the vklnlty of luiwn-hliops Tho big
uncial event of the cellcge soar means u lot
to some of tho upper classmen. Somctlnn'S
it means ns much ns a watcli or another
article of jewelry; sometimes only some more
or less Important textbooks which would
probably never bo opened any wav This Is
tho why and when-fore of tho whole thing.
Tho Ivy Pall, held every vear on tho
campus, means the original outlay of ?5
for tickets alone. That In Itself may cost
some poor toe In I aspirant ono snuaro meal
a day for a period of weeks Then of course,
thcro Is the taxi, "coming and going" be
cause, naturally, lt would never lo for tho
lady to take a chance ot soiling her ball gown
on a plebeian street car. A taxi fare to
Frankford or Manavunk will likely mean
several trips to the llttlo shop with the thieo
balls and the leaving there fop a period of
weeks a regular collection ot family jewelry.
Flowers, checkroom tips and the like also
bring a smile of pleasure to the face of tho
man behind tho counter In tho "llttlo es
tablishment around the" corner.

fccssary at tho Ivy Hall and tho agony and
terrible succession of hardships which cer
tain Individuals go through, to he ahlo lo

averago lajman.
There Is a tradition that at ono lv Hall
In the not far distant past, ono of tho darners;
a., ,.. .l.n,.Ail .n 41m ftnnr TTflfltV PXnml-
nation showed that he was suffering from
undcr-nourisumciii or, to pui n ...mm,
starvation as a result of a rigid program,
of fasting to enable him to attend tho ball
In the proper costume.
Whether or not this story Is true, tho out
fitting of certain men In regard to evening
dress brings riches Into the pockets of tho
proprietors of tho "little establishment around
tho corner." x
The Ivy Hall this jear will take placo
on Friday evening, February 28. In Weight
man Hall. Tickets are already on sale at
Houston Club, the larger downtown hotels
and fraternity houses. The period of prep
aration Is under way nnd tho three balls
over the entrance of the before-mentioned es
tablishment are probably much amused at the
recurrence of ttio yearly phenomenon.

To the lUHtor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Tou aro of course thoroughly familiar
with the organization of the council of de
fenso sjstem throughout the country. Under
the council of national defense In Washing
ton, consisting of the Secretaries of War,
Navy, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce and
Labor, and with Crosvenor B. Clarkson as
director, thero has been built up under the
Governors of the forty-eight States a complete
defense system now consisting In addition to
the State organization of tOOO counties, of
16,000 women's divisions aVid some 14,000
community and municipal units. This great
field machinery has represented the people of
the United States In Washington and has
carried through to the smallest community
the problems and iheasures of tho national
government during the war.
In Washington the council of national de
fenso has created such vital bodies as the
war Industries board, the aircraft' production
board, the commercial economy board, acting
In a sense as a great administrative labora
tory; and other similar governmental war
agencies. The council of national defense
has been content to build these agencies and
turn over to Uiem the specific problems which
corns within their jurisdiction.
It had not originally been tho Intention to
continue tho State council of defense system
beyond the date of the signing ot the armi
stice. However, wo find many problems that
now reriulre careful handling problems in
which the co-operation of the peoplo through
out the United States Is not only desirable,
but absolutely necessary. There is tho prob.
lem of Americanization, tho problem of un
employment, the transference of the 137,000,
000,000 of war risk Insurance outstanding
from a war to a peace basis; In short. It is
no less Imperative to meet the problems of
readjustment than it was to preparo for war.
For that reason Mr. Clarkson, director of
the council, at tho personal rcqueat of tho
Secretary of War, chairman of tho council,
hns agreed to continue In office and has
written the States suggesting that a special
nonpartisan, nonsectarlan bureau" or com
mission be establlshel In each State which
w 111 draV from tho council of defense sys
tem already created those dividends for
peace which the war effort of the nation has
entitled It to receive.

Philadelphia's Heroes
To the Editor of the Evening I'ubtlo Ledger:
Sir Your editorial concerning the valor
of the Iron Division, the Twenty-eighth
(National Guard of Pennsvlvanla), speaks
volumes as does your summary:
"Three words are expressive of the solemn
pride which the State takes In the sacrifice
of these sons on the altar of liberty:
They were .Pcnnsvlvanlans."
But .what about tho 316th Regiment, of
the Seventy-ninth Division, whose casualties
were the highest of the National Army
regiments? Most of them are Phlladelphlans.
bay something for them, please.
W. V. GERRY,
Philadelphia, February 0.
"Wise, Indeed
To the Editor of the Evening Put Ho Ledger:
hlr-
There was a man in our town
And ho was wondrous wise.
In the columns of the Levorr
Ho oft did advertise.
And when he saw bis trade Increase
With all Its might and main.
Ho only advertised the moro
Thus riches he did gain.

SCENARIO TO SCREEN
,.
AM) IN BETWEEN ;;,
D. W. Griffith to Revive His Old
Masterpieces and Show New ,
Films on Broadway j,a-;
Tor tho first time in tho history of motlo.
pictures a repertory season of screen pro
ductions will Boon occupy tho attention of
rcw York's plaj goers and motlon-plctur-fans.
David Wark arimth Is tho producer,
arid a prominent Broadway theatre will be
the homo of this newest of Ideas In con
nection with tho film Industry. Not only,
will Mr. Griffith present "The Birth of ft
Nation," "Intolerance" and "Hearts of the
World," his threo greatest super-pictures, but
revivals of earlier Grltnth Works will be
featured as part of the repertory Idea. A
number of new productions will bo shown
for the first time In tho East, lncludlnr
The Fall of Babylon," recently presented
with marked success In Los Angeles.
Of tho older arimth works, first shown
when Mr. Gi-imth was directing for Blo
graph, Reliance. Majestic and Tine Arts, will
be Included "The Sands of Dee," "The
Avenging Conscience," "The Single Stand
ard," "Home" and 'The Escape." The play- '
crs to bo seen In these pictures will Include
many present-day stars who received their
earlier training under the GrltTHh direction,
among them Mary Plckford, Mao Marsh,
Lillian Glsh, Constance Talmadge, Blanche
Sweet. Dorothy Glsh, Seena Owen, Miriam
Cooper, Robert Harron, Henry Walthall and
others whore names are now In the clectrlo
lights.
Tho fact that Mr. Griffith has recently
concerned himself with the affalrS of the
speaking stage through the production In
Los Angeles of a number of prologues and
pageants, carries its significance In connec
tion with the proposed Now York repertory
season. It is altogether probable that a
number of ono-act plays and pantomimes
WTlttcn by Mr. Grimth will be presented In
conjunction with tho screen offerings.
No date has been definitely Bet for the
opening of the repertory season, but It is
understood that Mr. Grltnth will come to
New York to personally direct the enterprise.
