Bureau Big Aid
to Ex-Soldiers
IGovernment Is Finding Places
for Disabled Men Who Havo
Been in School.
JILL VOCATIONS REPRESENTED
(Moro Than 100,000 Aro In Tralnlnfl
Now, nnd Ultimately 318,000 Will
Havo Been Rehabilitated Find
Job to Fit Man.
Washington, D. O. A new kind of
employment uffency la being opened
toy the government. Alost ofllces of the
port start out In business with u list
(of ullurlng positions and Invite Jobless
men to apply far them. Th govern
ment is beginning ut tbo other end. It
,1ms a group of wall trained men on Its
Binnds nnd Its employment igency will
'try to fit them Into tho Jobs which lire
no doubt avalluble About the coun
try, but which nru just nw singularly
elusive.
Tho now agency Is In the veterans'
bureau, nnd 1U efforts are to be put
forth In behalf of the disabled war
veterans who nro being .rehabilitated
under tho direction of tho bureau.
Although It Is moro than three
years slnco the war ended, the pealc
of rehabilitation has not been reached,
largely because, so many of the vet
erans hnvo been taking three and four
yehr courses.
, To date 10.-185 men havo completed
their training and aro employed. Moro
than 100,000 are In training now, and
ultimately U18.000 will havo been re
habilitated. Many of the disabled
men have not bsgun training. They
nro not yet physically able, their cases
,aro pending, or for aomu other reason
training has been deferred.
Tho new agency, which calls Itself
by the mouth-filling tltlo of the
Trnlnce-Eiiiployment Section of the
Jtehnbllltntlon division of tho Vet
erans' bureau, has just begun Its task.
Jt hns men of practically every voca
tion on Its hands, from dentists nnd
(farmers to stenographers and shoe
makers. i Tho employment section has begun
to establish contracts with organiza
tions that nro In touch with all angles
'of tho Job market.
Where Men Are Needed.
Employment experts of tho Veterans'
bureau nro making n study of tho pro
fessions nnd trades to determine which
nro crowded. A partial survey Indi
cates that training hns been provided
in tho past In some vocations which
nro badly overcrowded, while other
lines In which trained personnel Is
needed have been overlooked. In fu
turo tho bureau will consider supply
'and demand In starting Its dllsnbled
,mcn on new work.
A number of doctors arc on tho list
of rehabilitated men, and these, at
least, should havo no dllllcuUy In es
tablishing connections, slnco smnll
.towns nil over the country have been
calling for doctors.
Considering tho need for fanners,
It Is nlso encouruglng to learn that
.15,000 veterans are Btudylng somo
;phasc of agriculture. Some of them
havo already found positions which
they will enter on graduation. A num
ber nro going to teach agricultural sub
jects In high kschools and colleges.
One man Is going to South America as
salesman of agricultural Implements.
The students of farming uro being
urged to buy land and start In busi
ness fof themselves, nnd many ore
planning to do so.
Tho men who havo een studying
trades uro placed In union shops for
practical experience. When they nro
nblo. to do a full duy's work they ,nro
considered rehabilitated and given po
sitions. A mnn learning a trade or business
Is rehabilitated when ho has n posi
tion, nnd the government's responsi
bility townrd him ends. It is moro
difficult to say when an artist Is re
habilitated. Is he n full-fledged artist
when ho pnlnts his first promising pic
.turo or when ho makes his first sale?

Hf-
All of the men whom the government
has undertaken to havo trained were
unable to return to their old positions
on a competlttvo basis with other
men.
Right Men for tho Jobo.
Tho bureau is trying to Impress on
tho public tho fact that It need not
hesitate to employ tho rehabilitated
men. The government Is not sending
out any one-legged purl: gardeners. A
man who was so hadly Injured about
the face that ho is at u disadvantage
In meeting people Is not trained to ho
n traveling salesman. On (ho other
hand, the loss of n leg does not af
fect the work of n draftsman and a
disfigured face Is not a handicap to u
stock breeder.
The employment section Is distinctly
proud of tho fact that so many of tho
bureau's trainees havo n greater earn
ing capacity now than they luid In
their pre-wnr occupations. A typical
case is that of a man who had been
u landscape gardener on n largo es
tate, lie lost ono nrm, nnd la now
an auditor In tho government servlco
at $l,i200 more a year thnn he was
earning before tho wnr.
Tho Veterans' bureau soys thnt it Is
starting Its employment services with
men of flno caliber. A report hns Just
como from tho University of Floridu
stating that the nvcrago scholarship
In Its law department Is 8.ri.ft per cent
for trainees of tho Veterans' bureau,
while other students nveruged 79 per
cent. -Frederick J, Haskin In Chicago

Old Feud Alive
Burial Lot in Durham, N. H., Has
the Only Spite Monument
in Existence.
DISPUTE OVER WILL IS CAUSE
Brother and Slater Disagree Over
What Constitutes a "Suitable Mon
ument" Courts Finally Called
Upon to Settle Matter. ,
Durham, N. II. Splto fences nro not
unusual, and there Is tho tradition of
cutting off the noso to spite tho face,
but what Is probably tho only spite
monument in existence stands In tho
llttlo burial lot of the Joy family nt
Packer's Falls In tills town. Tho out
como of years of family disagree
ments and controversies, a rough
stone, bearing u quotation from the
will of Sarah E. (Joy) Griffiths and
erected us a reproach to her memory
by her brother, Samuel Joy, still
stands today In tho little burial lot
which has been owned by the Joy fam
ily slnco 17S0, and the reusonfor Its
existence Is almost forgotten.
A hand chiseled on tho rough stone,
which Is of nutlvo New Hampshire
granite nnd about 4 by 5 In dimensions,
points to tho handsome marble mouu
ment' towering 15 feet above tho
ground and hearing tho namo of David
F. and Sarah 13. Griffiths. Beside tho
hand is tho Inscription In largo capi
tals: "A Suitable Monument and Fit
Up tho Lot." It was tho manner In
which this provision In the will of his
sister, Sarah, was carried out that
angered Samuel and caused him to
take such n novel means of perpetu
ating tho memory of u fancied In
justice. ' Left Strange Will.
Tho story begins with tho marriage
of Sarah 13. Joy to David F. Griffiths
on February 11, 1840.
There wero two children from the
marriage, both of whom died In In
fancy, und David nlso died at tho ago
of thirty-six years and was burled In

VICTIM OF CHILD LABOR
Tills llttlo girl is kept at her task of
stringing labels, pay for which Is ono
cent nn hour. A thorough investiga
tion of tho child labor conditions In
Ithodo Island has resulted In startling
disclosures of tho hardships, long
hours nnd small pay that moro thnn
flvo thousand children havo been sub
jected, to by manufacturers of cheap
Jewelry, small wares, hosiery mid un
derwear. -
tho lot of tho Griffiths family In Dur
ham. It Is net clear whether there
was any Ill-feeling between Saruh und
her husband, tut nfter his death sho
moved to Manchester, and In her will
sho requested thnt she bo burled In
tho Joy family lot and not with her
husband.
Snrnh survived her husband by 32
years, dying In 1887. She left nn es
tate of about 5-1,000 nnd n will. Ilor
Immediate belrs wero Nancy S. Fesler,
her slBter, nnd Samuel, her brother.
Apparently Nancy was not avaricious,
but tho $4,000 would have been of
moro gratification to Samuel had It
not been for tho will.
Tho stumbling block In tho will was
tho provision thnt a suitable monument
ho erected to tho memory of Snrah and
tho burial lot fitted up. Nancy nnd
Samuel, the administrators, differed ns
to how tills provision should be con
strued; Nancy insisting that nn Im
posing monument he erected, whllo
Samuel held that a "suttnhlo monu
ment" meant merely n simpjo head
stone such as hnd been erected nt the
graves of other members of the Joy
family burled In tho lot.
Nancy, however, wns firm for the
"suitable monument," nnd Insisted thnt
her sister deserved a moro Imposing
commemoration than u mere head
stone. After this controversy over the suit
nbloncss of the monument lind gone on
for somo time, Snmuel beenmo bitter.
Deciding It wns time to let the world
know the folly of his sister, Snrah, In
leaving such n will, ho erected about
her grave, which was still without a
stone, n board fence on which ho
pnlntcd the words, "A ?:i,000 Grave."
Taken Into Court
Up to .this point the nephews of Dn
vld F. Griffiths, Kdward and Arloch,
hnd taken no part in the quarrel, feel
ing that tho affairs of their uncle's
wifo did not concern them. Iiut nt
this overt net, Arloch decided that It
was time for him to tako a hand In
tho proceedings, and ono dark night
ho removed the fence with Its sarcastic
legend nnd 1011; the grave onco moro
bare.
Samuel was not to bo thwarted In
his purpose, however, and his next
move was to put up a small stono hear
ing tho words, "I Am n Socialist."
What became of tho stono remains a
mystery, llowuver, the boh of Nancy
Fesler had taken sides with his mother
nnd with the Griffiths brothers and Its
disappearance is credited to him.
Three or four years had now passed
since Sarah's death and the terms of
her will hud not yet been carried out.
It wns u hopeless deadlock, and after
many fruitless conferences between
Nancy and Samuel, the case was tlnal
ly taken to court. George W. Sanborn
of Kingston was appointed to execute
the will, which he did without delay.
Ills action must havo given grut Men
tion to Nancy, for ho caused to ho
erected a huge monument costing ?:i,
fiOO, and spent tho remainder of tho
money on fence to surround tho lot.
Samuel, defeated on nil sides, was
still determined on rovengc. Deprived
of any participation lu tho estate of
his sister nnd seeing his opponents
victorious lu the end, he hired a stono
cutter to ciirvo the hand nnd tho words
from tho will on tho block of graulto
mid set It up In tho burial lot about
20 feet from tho murblo shaft over
which thero hud been such bitter feel
lug.
