18 FARM MANAGERS BEING TRAINED Disabled Soldiers, Educated For Direction of Farms, Sure of Jobs Washington, March 6.—A latgc percentage of men in the United States armies coming from farms or semi-rural environent have raised an interesting question in ho , r ®" training of disabled en by the ied erela board for vocational educa tion, as to how the background of agricultural information of these individuals can best be utilized. The general impression is that when a man has lost his strength his usefulness on a farm is at an end. The federal board does not at all subscribe to this and the course which has been evolved on "farm management" is proving one of the most popular with those men who Nave taken retraining. The small percentage of profits 01 inefficient management, of idle and incompetent management, makes thousands of farmers not living on their places very desirous to secure farm managers capable of inducing farm management, and to meet this growing need the course in farm management for disabled soldiers has been evolved b> the federal board for vocational education, and indications are that the demand for these well trained men will con siderably exceed the supply. Dis abled men taking training are al lowed a support fund of $65 per month minimum, all expenses are paid and places found for the grad uates. This training is mainly giv en in the land grant colleges of the various states. ' Detroit Vapor Stove Vvorks Like Gas" A marvelous invention which makes oil as prac tical as gas for fuel.

Dying Wife, Poison Victim, Begs For Absent Husband Philadelphia, March 6. Fully conscious and free from pain, Mrs. Sumner C. Evans, who lies dying at the Hahnemann Hospital after an attempt at suicide, begged physicians today to bring her husband to her. With the knowledge that only a miracle can avert death, the young wife, who swallowed poison when her husband left her, wants more than all else to speak to her hus band before she succumbs. "I loved him," she said this morn ing. "I did not want to live after he left me. All I want now is to see him-once more before I die." Upon receiving his discharge from the army he began working in the oil fields near Burkette, Texas. To Test Civil Service Status of Fire Chiefs Philadelphia, March 6.—Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, president of the Firemen's Association, an nounces that the executive committee of the Civil Service Reform Associa tion of Pennsylvania has accepted a request of the firemen's organization to unite in bringing proceedings to test the civil service status of fire chiefs in second and third class cit ies.

Hid Four Years to Escape the Germans 1 Paris, March 6.—The adventures ;of two French stragglers. Sergeant I Lesquern and Private Levesque, who becoming separated from their units after the battle of Charleroi, remained in hiding for more than four years in German occupied ter ritory are told in the newspaper La Victoire. In the early days of the war, civilians helped the two sol diers but as the German domina tion became weightier, they took to the woods. They owe their lives to an old Belgian poacher and smuggler who, throughout all the years of their adventures, helped them with pro visions. They are now in a French hospital recovering from the effects of their privations.

It is the natural result of idle hands, the 'Officials say. Attendants at centers where leave men congregate seem to be of one opinion as to why soldiers now commit petty crimes. They say the bearing of the soldiers has changed since the hostilities ended. When they obtained a brief respite from the fighting they still felt that they were engaged, still had something to do and something to think about. People who are at Young Men's Christian Association and Red Cross centers say that now there is no in terest for the soldiers at the front and little they can do in the cities, as few have much money. They o<re idle mentally and physically. There has been a tendency to blame overseas men for much of the crime, not Americans as compara- tively few of them are on leave in England, but a Scotland Yard offi cial has stated that the English troops are as much responsible as their colonial brothers.

SENIORITY TO RULE IN HOUSE Republican Leaders Will Fol low Plan in Naming Committees Washington, March 6.—Republi can organization of the next House of Representatives is being pushed forward by party leaders, composing the com mittee on committees, with practically a final decision that seniority of mem bership would continue to determine committee ranks. This action, taken in respect to the eleven principal com mltees, applied to chairmanships, as well as to other leading places. Before undertaking to consider the question of ,membership rank, the Re publicans decided on the apportionment of places on the committees between the two parties. Because of their mar gin of control of the next House, the committee decided to increase the ma jority appointment by one member with a similar reduction of Democratis or minority membership.
