Washington, D. C A new kind of
employment agency la being opened
by the government Iost offices of the
sort start out In business with a list
of alluring positions and Invite Jobless
men to apply for them. The govern
ment is beginning at the other end. It
has a group 4of well trained men on Its
hands and Its employment agency 'will
try to fit them Into the jobs which are
, no doubt available about the coun
try, but which are Just now singularly
elusive.'
The new agency is In the veterans'
bureau, and its efforts are to be put
forth in behalf of the disabled war
veterans who are being rehabilitated
under the direction of the bureau.
Although it is more than three
years since the war ended, the peak
of rehabilitation has not been reached,
largely because so many of the vet
erans have been taking three and four-
year courses.
To date 16,480 men have completed
their training and are employed. More
than 100,000 are in training now, and.
ultimately 818,000 will have been re
habilitated. Many of the disabled
men have not begun training. ' They
are not yet physically able, their cases
are pending, or for some other reason
training has been, deferred.
The new agency, which calls Itself
by the mouth-filling title . of the
, Trainee-Employment Section of the
Poliahlllf ntlnn tlvfafnn nt tha Vet.
erans' bureau, has Just begun Its task,
It has men of practically every voca-
, tlon on its hands, from dentists and
farmers to stenographers and shoe
makers.
The employment section has begun
to establish contracts with organiza
tions that are In touch with all angles
of the Job market.
Where Men Are Needed. :
Employment experts of the Veterans'
bureau are making a study of the pro
fessions and trades to determine which
are crowded. A partial ' survey indi
cates mm irtumiig hub utrcu jiruviutru
, in the past in some vocations which
are badly overcrowded, while other
lines In which trained personnel Is
needed have been overlooked. In fu
ture the bureau will consider supply
and demand in starting its dlisabled
men on new work,
1 A number of doctors are on the list
of rehabilitated men, and these, at
least, should have no difficulty in es
tablishing connections, since small
towns all over the country have been
calling for doctors. .'
Considering the need for farmers,
ft is also encouraging to learn that
15,000 veterans are studying some
Ehase of agriculture. Some of them
ave already found positions which
they will enter on graduation. A num
ber are going to teach agricultural sub
jects In high schools and colleges.
One man is going t South America as
salesman of agricultural Implements.
The students of farming' are being
urged to buy land and start In busl-,
ness for themselves, and many an
planning to do so. '
The men who have been studying
trades are placed in union shops for
practical experience. When they are
able to do a full day's work they are
considered rehabilitated and given po
sitions. . V; .. '
A man learning a trade or business
Js rehabilitated when he has a posi
tion, and the government's responsi
bility toward him ends. It is more
difficult to say when an artist is re
habilitated. Is he a full-fledged artist
when he paints his first promising pic
ture or when he makes his 3rst sale?

Right Men for the Jobs.
The bureau is trying to impress on
the public the fact that It need not
hesitate to employ the rehabilitated
men. The government Is not sending
out any one-legged park gardeners. A
mun who was so badly Injured about
the face that he Is at a disadvantage
In meeting people is not -trained to be
a traveling salesman. On the other
band, the loss of a leg does not af
fect the work of a draftsman and a
disfigured face is not a handicap to a
stock breeder. - '
The employment section Is distinctly
proud of the fact that so many of the
bureau's trainees have a greater earn
ing capacity now than tljey had in
their pre-war occupations. A typical
case Is that of a man who had been
a landscape gardener on a large es
tate.' He lost one arm, and Is now
an auditor in the government service
at $1,200 more a year than he was
earning before the war. . ,'
The Veterans' bureau says that it is
starting its employment services with
men of fine caliber. A report has Just
come from the University of Florida
stating that the average scholarship
In its law department is 85.S per cent
for trainees of the Veterans' bureau,
while other students averaged 79 per
cent. Frederick J. Haskln in Chicago.

Burial Lot in Durham, N. H., Has
the Only Spite Monument
in Existence.
DISPUTE OYER WILL IS CAUSE
Brother and 8ister Disagree Over
What Constitutes a "Suitable Mon
ument" Courts Finally Called
Upon to Settle Matter.
Durham, Nl H. Spite fences are not
unusual, and there is the tradition of
cutting off the nose to spite the face,
but what is probably the only spite
monument In existence stands In the
little burial lot of the Joy family at
Packer's Falls in this town. The out
come of years of family disagree
ments and controversies, a rough
stone, bearing a quotation from the
will of Sarah E. (Joy) Griffiths and
erected as a reproach to her memory
by her brother, Samuel Joy, still
stands today in the little burial lot
which has been owned by the Joy fam
ily since 1780, and the reason for its
existence is almost forgotten.
A hand chiseled on the rough stone,
which is of native) New Hampshire
granite and about 4 by 5 In dimensions,
points to the handsome marble monu
ment towering 15 feet above the
ground and bearing the name 'of David
F. and Sarah E. Griffiths. Beside the
hand is the inscription in large capi
tals: "A Suitable Monument and Fit
Ud the Lot." It was the manner In
which this provision in the will of, his
sister, Sarah, was carried out that
angered Samuel .and caused him to
take such a novel means of perpetu
ating the memory, of a fancied in
justice. Left Strange Will.
The story begins with the marriage
of Sarah E. Joy to David F. Griffiths
on February 11, 1846. "
! There were two children from the
marriage, both of whom died In in
fancy, and David also died at the age
of thirty-six year and was burled in

VICTIM OF CHILD LABOR
V- '
This little girl is kept at her task of
stringing labels, pay for which is one
Cent an hour. A thorough Investiga
tion of the child labor conditions In
Rhode Island has resulted In startling
disclosures of the hardships, long
hours and small pay that more than
five thousand children have been sub
jected to by manufacturers of cheap
jewelry, small wares, hosiery and un
derwear. the lot of the Griffiths family in Dur
ham. It is not clear whether there
was any Ill-feeling between .Sarah and
her husband, but after his death she
moved to Manchester, and in her will
she requested that she be buried in
the Joy family lot and not with her
husband.
Sarah survived her husband by 32
years, dying in 1887. She left an es
tate of about $4,000 and a will. Her
Immediate heirs were Nancy S. Fesler,
ber sister, and Samuel, her brother.
Apparently Nancy was not avaricious,
but the $4,000 would have been of
more gratification to Samuel had it
not been for the will.
The stumbling bfock in the will was
the provision that a suitable monument
be erected to the memory of Sarah and
the burial lot fitted up. Nancy and
Samuel, the administrators, differed as
to how this provision should be con
strued ; Nancy Insisting that an Im
posing monument be erected, while
Samuel held that a "suitable monu
ment" meant merely a simple head
stone such as had been erected at the
graves of other members of the Joy
family buried In the lot.
Nancy, however, was firm for the
"suitable monument," and insisted that
her sister deserved a. more imposing
commemoration than a mere head
stone. After this controversy over the suit
ableness of the monument had gone on
for some time, Samuel became bitter.
Deciding it was time to let the world
know the folly of his sister, Sarah, in
leaving such a will, he erected about
her grave, which was still without a
stone, ' a board fence on which he
painted the words, "A $3,000 Grave."
Taken Into Court.
Up to this point the nephews of Da
vid F. Griffiths, Edward and Arloch,
had taken no part in the quarrel, feel
ing that the affairs of their uncle's
wife" did not concern them. But at
this overt act, Arlqcb decided that It
was time for him to take a hand In
the proceedings, and one dark night
he removed the fence with its sarcustlc
legend and left the grave once more
bare. ..
Samuel was not to be thwarted m
his purpose, however, and his next
move was to put up a small stone bear
ing the words, "I Am a Socialist"
What became of the stone remains a
mystery. ' However, the son of Nancy
Fesler bad taken sides with bis mother
and with the Griffiths brothers and Its
1 disappearance is credited to him.
xnree or lour years duo now passea
since Sarah's death and the terms of
ber will had not yet been carried out.
It was a. hopeless deadlock, and after
many fruitless conferences between
Nancy and Samuel, the case was final
ly taken to court. George W. Sanbprn
of Kingston was appointed to execute
the will, which he did without delay.
His action must have given gratifica
tion to Nancy, for he caused to be
erected a huge monument costing $3,
500, and spent the remainder of the
money on a fence to surround the lot.
Samuel, defeated on all sides, was
still determined on revenge. Deprived
of any participation in the estate of
his , sister and seeing his opponents
victorious In the end, he hired a stone
cutter to carve the hand and the words
from the will on the block of granite
and set It up In the burial lot about
20 feet from the marble shaft over
which there had been such bitter feel
ing. . ;

Important Truth
" jl O make each part as strong as the rest," was his way of "building
a wonderful, one-horse chaise that wouldn't wear out till judgment day.'
r This illustrates a fact that is keeping many doctors busy these days
human bodies, like chaises, break down because some part isn't as
strong as the others.
Very often it's because of ill-balanced food, lacking in some impor
tant element of nutrition. This is especially true of ills developed in
childhood, and carried on through life. "
Grape-Nuts, that world-famous, ready-to-eat cereal, brings the plan
of building each part as strong as the rest to serve human need. Grape
Nuts contains all the nutriment of those best of the field grains, wheat
and barley, including the vital mineral elements, and it is a wonderful
r t food for building and Sustaining health and strength, v,
The delicious flavor and crispness of Grape-Nuts make it a wel
oome"dish whenever you're hungry.
