PENSION BOARD
FINISHES WORK
ACT FAvoRAHLY ON 100 MALE
APPLICATIONS AND TWENTY
EIGHT FEMALE.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 1.-The state
pension board that has been in ses-
sion for the past twenty days ad-
journed Wednesday. Following the
meeting Col Frank Moses, chairman
stated that nut OF the applicants for
pensions by men, the board had
found 100 cases that were pension
able. OF the women applying for
pensions twenty-eight we're found
pensionable.
When asker as to what action the
board wod take relative to paying
the pensions, Col. Moses said: THE
first payment under the law does not
take place until Sept. 1. BY that
time there is a PROBABILITY that an ap'
preparation bill will be passed and all
doubts solved. 1t has been the Gus.
tom in the past for the pension board
not to add any pensioners to the list
unless the money is in sight to pay
1t with. We have, however, Gen
Gates opiniio. that 1t is our duty to
pay the pensioners whether an appro
priation is made or not and that any
monies in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated by law could be paid
to the pensioners. We have decided
therefore to wait until about the last
of August and see if an appropriation
bill is not passed. In case 1t is moi
we will have a called meeting ant
decide which action to take, AL
though the precedent has been not t.
increase the pension roll unless the
money is in sight. 1t is probable tina
the board may adhere to the opirior
of General Gates"

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 5.-The

The action of the government is at

The Porch Suing

Author of "At Good Old SiUash.o

TN spite of the vast growth of the
automobile business, the porch swing
= continues to be the graf American
vehicle for summer use
A million Americans climb into auto

porch swings after supper is over and

The porch swing costs about as much
as an automobile cushion and can be
set up and operated by a mere novice
in mechanics. A porch swing built for
two can be operated from eight p. m.

Such Is Fame

James Jimpson stole a million bones, a

the fame of Jim, who was a bird; IN

household word. and every day you read
of Jim in papers and in books, and muir

$500 and five cents worth of lubricat-
ing oil will run it ten years.
There are many Americans who look
upon the porch swing with scorn and
declare that it doesn't get the passenger
anywhere. However, it must be said that
the porch swing always gets its pas
sengers home. It is also alleged that the
scenery from the deck of the porch swing
becomes mOnOtOnOus very quickly. How
ever, the passenger does not get so much
of it in his eye. The scoffers further al
lege that it is impossible to load up 4
porch swing with merry friends and
carry them to jolly little restaurants
many miles away. This is perhaps the
porch swings greatest virtue.
The safety of America lies not in the
million who are willing and able to
blow in a peck of assorted greenbaeks
for an automobile, but in the millions
who are manning her porch swings and
are getting to bed early in order to
rise at dawn the next day and work
so hard that they viii be able to lay
