One of the results of the world war has been to demonstrate that it is pos sible to take an apparently hopeless! maimed or ciippled worker and restore him to his place as a usef.nl member of societj and a unit in the Industiial arm of the people. The state of IVimsv luinin. profiting bj the example of Itelgiuin, Kinnce and Knglnml, hns set aside S.'O.dOO a enr for the ensuing two years to icstore to vocntionnl trades and pursuits the men injuied in mills, mines and factories. These men n few yenrs ago would have been regarded as hopelessly crippled, nnd would have been consigned, as has been the case thlougli the ages, to the human scrap heap, the recipients of alms, anil objects of svmpath.v. A sketch of this work should be called "A Komance of Rehabilitation." It is a oonspiciotis case of tl beneficent paternalism of this commonwealth. It is nbout the only good thing that huh come to Pennsylvania from the great war to increase the sum of huppin-'ss of men.

Pike's Peak, then, meant gold. If you didn't find if, you "went bust." Pike's Peak is there today more than 14,000 feet altitude and other equally impressive peaks of the Rockies Longs and Grays, Buckskin and Ouray, Spanish and Culebra. And great ranees of mountains, too Saguache, Sangre oe Cristo, San Juan, Uncompahgre, Wasatch, Uintah, Oquirrh noted in song and story. But now you go there in luxurious trains, on rails of steel. You go for the gold of renewed health, the silver of vacation rest. There is no possibility of failure, no going broke. Everywhere you find a multitude of wilderness outing joys, just around the corner from resort hotels. And, if you search for it, the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

' I Mr. Mnckey went into detail and de- I scribed the process by which the work i thus fnr has been accomplished. In a general way be to'd how it would be continued now that f.'iO.OOO a year for the next two jears was at the disposal of the board. "No matter how big or sturdy .1 workman may lie. nine he is injured by the loss of a leg or an arm, or both of tlietn, he becomes a prey to despond ency," said Mr. Mackej "His means of livelihood ate curtailed or entirely re moved. The firuie holds little hope for hini. In some inses he becomes depressed to n degree that borders on melancholia. This is particularly true if he is the father of a family. Com- Ipensntinn under the law for his in- Ijury is the one ray of hope. 1 "lie begins casting around for some wny of utilizing this compensation I money. His first thought, ns i rule, is to start a cigar shop or a small grocery 'store. Perhaps he endeavors to get .1 job as watchman or gatekeeper at a 'nominal wage. His condition is con stantly on his mind nnd he loses am bition. Here is where the first step toward rehabilitation is undertaken bj the board. Only skilled and sympathetic men are employed in this work. "The injured workman is approached in a spirit of optimism. It is n mental process. The attempt is made to con vince him that his misfortune is n bless ing in disguise, that the world is not so dark as it looks, and that his oppor tunities of earning ns much if not more money than before have really been im proved. He is now thrown absolutely on his own resources. Is he willing to make a tight? He must not give way to despair if he is to succeed. Finally, he begins to assume a more cheerful as pect and expresses a desire to be shown. Here begins the second stage. "If he has lost one or both legs we supply him with the most improved arti ficial limbs. He is taughLto familiarise himself with their use. The same if he has lost one arm or both. A study of his mental and mechanical abilitj is i LIFE made in an effort to discover his adapt ability. He is given an opportunity to train himself. If lie is a mechanic nnd lias lost a leg lie is set to work with machinery vvlieic he can move about and have free use of his hands. "lie now begins to take n real in terest. The work has a chaifa for him. He sees nn opportunity for making good wages like other men, even though he is partly crippled. The rest is easy, and our work is completed by rcstoriug this maimed nnd disheartened man to a place invthe industrial army instead of permitting him to Income a unit in that element of societ that is content with a hand-to-uioulh existence and a con firmed pessimist to the end of his days." A number ol instances were cited showing the ipiiet but effective work of the Ifoaid of Compensation in this di rect ion. In ever case the name of the unfortunate man as well as the cstnb lishment at which he was injured is withheld. One of the extreme cases was that of :i mail who hud lost the sight of both eyes while winking as a miner. He had a family depending upon Iiim for sup port and. under the compensation act, was entitled to $4000. Instead of dis missing him with the payment of this sum, where the work of the Compensa tion Board would ordinarily end, Mr. Muckey induced him to enter a (school for the blind and Irani the trade of broom making. He did so and reports today show that though hopelessly blind, he has developed into nn expert work man and is earning a sum that com pares favorably with his wages as a. miner prior to his disability . Instances of Rehabilitation Another case was that of a young man who buffered the loss of his right leg and left arm while employed in a mine. He was outfitted with mi arti ficial leg, taught to operate an elevator and secured a position ns elevator man in the main office of the company where he was formerly employed, thereby jgBi2v'levL! iM placing himself in a position of support ing himself. An unusual instance was that of a steel worker who had lost his left leg. He was encouraged to return to his work at the same employment, after being supplied with nn artificial leg, and he is today receiving his former wages, , i The most remarkable story, however, is that of an employe of a coal company in the western part of the state He lost both arms lu the mine, where he was employed as a dynamite 'expert. He Is married and has two children. Cn der the encouragement of the board, the compensation due him was com muted. With it he purchased a cmtill store and also a truck to establish a transfer business. He has been very successful and Is providing well for his family. Without funds heretofore to carry on this work of restoring the physically wrecked to useful life, a wide field of future usefulness is anticipated by the Pnmnensntlon Board with its appropna- Uion of SI 00,000 for the next two years. With 'this it will be possible to send manv of the injured to special mmioois. n. '... rn-th of the war, where they will receive encouragement and special training in many different employments, besides helping them to maintain their bclf-iespect and enrn a living despite ! their handicap.
