The percents age of totally blind is small. 1 Two Hundred Occupations. They are training their men there for about two hundred different oc- cupations. Technical schools and institutions are being used, and, moreover, through the co-operation of manufacturers and employers; a great many men are being trained in the industries "hemselves. Those in charge of the work in Canada have not found any evidence of a desire on the part of the manufac- turers to exploit the men, and they have received, ome of their number has said, splendid co-operation from the labor men. Their whole aim Is 80 to train the men that they will hold the jobs because of their effi- ciency, and not because of any com- passion for them. An aim of our general work of re-construction is to fit men, dis- abled by war, for existing and stand. ard industries, rather than to de- velop special trades, devices and ma- chinery. A man Who has had This training should be able to go out and get a job in the same way that any other man would, fitting "into normal demands, using regular tools and' machines, getting ahead by his own ability. not ex- enamel.

The fur collar is high and is caught with two large white satin buttons embroidered to match the panel. Another doiman cape is in black velvet and gold tinsel brocade. The lining is of lilac and gréen shad- od silk and the fur used is skunk. Fur robes nfbunted on shawl rugs are as much sed as ever for-touring; | seal, beaver, muskrat and skunk are the furs generally used for these robes. = There are a few crush plush robes with fur linings that are a bit more dressy, but not quite as warm. Many tourists favor the Individual robes as affording greater warmth and comfort and most of them have the foot and muff pockets as well. Waterproofed robes are always oar- ried for emergency as repeated wet- tings are not good for the best of furs apd the protection lengthens their wearing qualities. Hints for the Taps of Cars.

"They don't want your charity-- they demand their'chance," is the way that a magazine writer has well put it. "We, the stay-at-homes, the brothers and ns of scarred and marred men crificing their per- sons, writhifg in agony for our sakes----we must be rechmnstructed, too--must reconstruct our impulses --must Jose the Tarpeian Rock attl- tude toward the crippled--must learn to measure the worth of a fel- low by his enterprise and capacity and give him the preference at every post and in every engagement--if he can deliver the goods. A civiliza- tion that won't do its duly by its de- fenders isn't worth fighting for-- prepare to prove that this one is." Avenues of usefulness open up in the most unexpecter directions. Be- sides training men who have lost one or both legs in such pursuits as stenography, telegraphy and other usual occupations involving mafiual dexterity, less well-known vocations are being pursued with gratifying success. At Walter - Reed Washington, for instance, returned soldiers are making rugs, by the methods used by nomadic tribes of Asia. The beauty of the hand-made Oriental rugs has never heen attain- ed with modern machines, so the secrets of making Persian and Turk- ish rugs are being taught to ex- boilermakers, carpenters, trainmen, bricklayers, men of countless form- er trades, who have given their best on the battlefields of France and are now applying that same enthus- iasm in cheating the war devil. All reconstructed soldiers are not to be returned immediately to civil life as soon as they are restored. Some will have a chance to get back into thq war organization. Some injured soldiers will be able to go back to full duty and return to their units, after getting special training Others, who can only be fiited for limited service, will be trained to act as instructors in hospitals, ty- pists, bookkeepers and in similar vocations. Special vocational training is for men no longer fit for military ser- vice. But no soldiers' will be dis- charged from the service, it has been announced, even though they are unfit for funther military duty, until they have attained a complete recovery, according to the nature of their wounds.
