TRAINED IN WORK

Disabled Men Are Given Every
Chance by Vocational
Board.
EARTHS IN SOLAR SYSTEM
HOW ONE F00N0 HIS JOB
Unskilled Man, Wounded at Eellrau
Wood, Who Thought Engraving
Fun Soon Proves Himself
Expert Workman.
Washington. A stoop- Nliouhlered
man leaning on crutches cumc Into tbe
offices of the federal board for voca
tional education one morning and. look
ing around tin- room, asked if this was
the place where the soldiers who had
been hurt In the war could find some
thing to do. The anent of thH hoard
asked him to sit flown, and told him
the plan that the government had for
helping the handicapped men of the
nrmy, navy and marine who had been
'disabled in the service so that they
might keej) with an active life.
Maimed at Belleau Wood. -
"I reckon I was In Ihe service, nil
right," the stoop shouldered one said,
laying his crutches by the chair. "At
Itelleatl Wood! Lord, what, a day!"
He let his hands drop listlessly be
tween his knees and turning bis eyes
to the ndvlser. he said: "Well, how
you goin' to help me? I have, lost my
left leg and I have about two dollars
In my pocket and nowhere t get
more. I never had a decent Job in my
life. I don't know how to do anything
Kpeclal and I don't care what It is you
give me to do, just so It's something."
The adviser talked to him for u hit
and tried to discover Just what this
man could do. He had held odd Jobs
here and there , hut none led to any
thing definite. He wasn't any more
Interested In nulo mechanics than In
street sweeping, or In gardening than
In clerking. He sat there listlessly
looking at his hands and left It to the
adviser to decide. Kvery now and then
he slowly turned n strange ring he had
on Ids finger.
The ndvlser felt rather discouraged.
He couldn't get n lead from tlds man's
silence, and to get his confidence he
asked to see the ring. Hie man took It
off and handed It to him. Ills face
became suddenly animated. "I made
that," lie said. "Hammered It out of
sliver myself and engraved thoc fig
ures on the outside. Nothing but some
plnyln' of mine," he added depreeat
Ingly. The adviser looked at the ring
carefully. II was well done, with a
certain look about the engraving that
cave lil ii 1 an Idea.
"That's Just Play."
"How would you like to learn en
graving and get a good position Ml It?"
"I oln' this? Say, tills aln'l work
It's Just play, and nobody pay-i ou fur
hnvln' a good time, do Ihey?"
"Let's have a try at II," suggested
lb" adviser, "and e what happen-."

Thousands of Asteroids, Mostly Small,
Known to Be Swinging Around
the Sun.
Swinging around the sun between
the planets Mars and Jupiter thre are
more than a thousand little earths,
ranging In diameter from three to 4S."i
miles. These are known as the aster
olds, and although they pursue their
individual ways in the solar system
much like our own globe they are
too small to support any sort of life,
being unable to hold an atmosphere.
I'rom time (o time new asteroids are
discovered, not by astronomers pa
tient ly peering at the heavens through
a telescope, but by means of the photo
graphic plate. 'A thousand have al
ready been found, but it Is likely thai
thousands of smaller asteroids remain
to he discovered.
The four largest asteroids, Ceres.
Pallns, Vesta and Juno, are respec
tively 483, 304. 24.1 and 118 m!IM In
diameter. A few more asteroids may
exceed KM) miles In diameter, hut the
great majority are simply huge rocks
five miles or less In diameter. Unlike
the major planets, the asteroids are
not spheres, but simply Jagged rocks,
huge mountains hurtling through
space, whirling round and round on
their axis as they journey about the
sun.
Possibly, as some have suggested,
they may be the larger fragments of
periodic comets of unusual size that
have In the course of ages been shorn
of their appendages.
SAHARA MAY DE RECLAIMED
LIKE GEM IN RARE SETTING
Lake Kluahne, Close to Arctic Circle,
Is Beautiful Spot Seldom Vis
ited by Man.
Lying nmld the heights of encir
cling mountains as a mere dewdrnp
In a titanic crinkle of the continental
surface, Is the 50-mlle lengtli of Lake
Klunhne, once reputed source of the
Tukon, flowing from it 1,200 miles
or more north, northwest and south
west to Iierlng sea. Harelv .'!."()
miles south of the arctic circle, south
ern boundary of perpetual snow and
lee, It Is compassed about with moun
tain ranges and peaks rising abruptly
from Us waters, says Christian Science
Monitor.
The shores of the lake are bare of
vegetation, save for the dwarf birch
and the hardy northern willow, tundra
grasses and lesser brush.
Lapped In the perpetual silence of
the unpeopled North, sternly Isolaled,
untouched by human presence, save
for at long Intervals a casual Indian
or passing prospector, Lake Kluahne
has In lis very silence and sternness
of aspect a beauty of that hardly ex
pressed, Indellnahle, hut none the less
deeply felt nature which, conscious of
It or not, Is a main factor In holding
the prospector or other man of th
open places In his wandering ways, In
Ihe sand deserls of the South, or Ihe
mountain wilderness of the ex I rem
Northwest alil.e.
Good Possibility of Its Being Ma'ie
Into a Reasonably Productive
Agricultural Country.
That the Sahara will some day
"blossom like the rose," or at any rate
like a reasonably productive agricul
tural country, is the gist of an article
by J. Nicholas Brusse In Ln Nation of
Paris. For more than a quarter of a
century, Sir. Brusse declares, although
people In general have thought of the
Sahara as an enormous, permanently
hopeless expanse of sand, those ac
quainted wilh the results of a geo
graphical survey conducted about ISM
have known also that the Sahara Is
not absolutely unfit for either plant or
animal life. Itain falls sometimes In
the great desert anil there are under
ground streams that could be made
available for water. The present oases
could he developed and others created,
provided a beginning were made by
establishing strategic roads and intro
ducing a sense of law and order among
the desert tribes for the security of
those who were trying to develop the
country. In Its entirety the region In
cluded In the Sahara contains already
a good deal of spontaneous vegeta
tion ; it grows a number of forage
plants and shrubs that serve as pas
turage for caravans, and could doubt
less be improved and made valuable
by cultivation. Fig trees, apricots,
peaches, grapes and various cereals
have been grown In the oases.

PRINCE'S MEMORY WAS GOOD
Heir to British Throne Had One Qual
ity That Is Indispensable
to Politician.
On one occasion Mr. Louis Sterne,
an engineer and Inventor, and a
friend of C'hnrles Dickens, showed the
late K.dward VII, then prince of
Wales, his exhibits at South Kensing
ton and the Crystal palace.
"The next time I met the prince."
said Mr. Sterne, "I was crossing
Plcadilly, at the (op of St. James
street. In trying to escape being run
down I ran directly Into the arms
of his royal highness. He at once
recognized me and said: 'Mr. Sterne,
you should give this traffic time and
never cross the hows." I expressed
surprise that he should recognize me,
to which lie replied I hat he never for
got either face or name If associated
with any matter of Interest."
Mr. Sterne met the prince again
ni a picture exhibition where n por
trait of the late W. II. Smith was
hung. Turning to the princess, his
royal highness said:
"Hallo, there's Smith '."
At once a man standing near turned
around and acknowledged the recog
nition, offering his hand, which the
prince unhesitatingly accepted. When
this man, whose name happened to
be Smith, recognised the prince, he
became embarrassed and, Willi Ihe lady
who necoinpanied lilin. made his exit
as soon as possible.

Early Progress of Industry,
Prior to ISPm the progress made In
the development of the automobile
can he summed up as follows: In gen
eral style the body was a park
phaeton, a ponderous complicated
contrivance, which would crush the
pavements as It passed over them. The
gasoline was stored In n large tank
In front. The motor and controlling
nppuralus were placed beneath the
bed of the vehicle. Kxcesslve weight
and complicated machinery helped In
a great measure to make It an utter
failure. One weak spot after another
developed. The axles became heated,
then the gears got out of order. The
noise of the explosion of the gasoline
was suggestive of a railroad locoiuo
