GRESHAM 1 IÉALING wounds of war biggest jos of red cross Broken Homes and M e i M ust Be R e b u ilt— R e-education of Disabled Soldiers for Future Usefulness. T h e , are already rebuilding the broken homes of France And they are already rebuilding the broken men. Over here we. too. are getting ready to devote to the sam e task the best of American skill and genius. Fo» each million of eur men who enter action ten thousand will be so crippled as to need mechanical appli ances, and they will have to be spe cially educated to use these so that the action of the missing Hmba will bo reduplicated as closely us possible. If th e G erm an s had had th e e n tre e to ce rta in p a rts of F ra n c e last fall t they ndght have seen fields th a t they once destroyed y ielding th e ir best crop In years. And they m ight buve seen som e of these fields being reaped by men they th o u g h t they had done for. T hey w ere men w ith vary in g de g rees of leg lessn ess and arm lessn ess.

The Red Cross sends out a strong warning against m istaken kindness to ward the maimed men who are eve» now returning. If, it says, the public Insists on-m aking lions of these men. it will end by making them babies. If employers hunt through their plants for "snaps" for them, and give them jobs that mean little more than hold ing dow n stools and reminiscing about their daring deeds, then Indeed we sliaj' complete the work of destruction for them, maiming minds as well as bodies. We. the American people, are going to be asked to spend more time, more money and energy keeping these men in (he game than It would cost to merely support ar.d am use them and let it go at that.

The banks are always asking you to open an account." Son, th a t's the easiest question to answ er th a t you have asked in a long tim e. By opening au account they mean leaving some money with them. You ju st walk up to the window and tell the man you w ant to leave so much money. There is little said about the "opening." He tak es your money and gives you a receipt, and a cheek book and asks no questions. You have then opened a bank account. Now to open an account at the store—-well, th a t's different they always ask some questions.
