FOR SOLDIERS
 AND FAMILIES The New Order on Allow. ances for Soldiers Par. ents and Families.

A radical change in the method of handling allotments and family 'al- lowances, which will speed up the delivery of Government checks to the dependents of soldiers and sail orS, went into effect July 1. Several important amendments of the War Risk Insurance Act, just approved by the President, make possible the change in procedure.
 After July 1, every enlisted man in the military or naval service, re- gardless of rank or pay, must make the same compulsory allotment to his wife and children, S15 month. To this allotment the Government will add monthly allowance rang ing from S5 month for mother less child, and S15 for wife with out children, up to maximum of $50. In addition the enlisted man, if he desires the Government allowance for his dependent parents, grand parents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, may make voluntary al- lotments to them-fixed by the new amendments at S5 a month, where allotment is made to wife and children, and S15 where no such al- lotment is made. Heretofore allot- mentS were on a sliding scale and varied according to the soldiers pay or the numbers and personel of his family.
 The new system, which was put into effect with the approval of the War and Navy Departments, will simplify the administration of allot- ments and allowances both by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and in the field. Henceforth the Burea of War Risk Insurance will handle al- lotmentS of only two amounts, S15 or S20. The amounts of family al- lowances paid by the Government to supplement these allotments are not changed by the amended law.
 Beginning with July pay, the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance will handle allotments only to support family allowances-an then only in the amounts required by law to sup port such allowances. The excess allotments, and allotments to per sons not entitled to allowances, will be handled by the War Department, Navy Department, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. This change in admin istrative procedure will considcra- bly increase the bureaus efficiency in handling its allotment and allow ance problem.
 Under the new amendments fa- ther through adoption and mother through adoption will be considered the same as a natural father and mother, and will have the same rights to allOtments and allowances. Approximately 3,6O0,0OO checks have been issued by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Checks are being mailed at the rate of more than 4O,- 900 day.

A War Garden Exhibit.

In San Francisco a bank held a
war garden exhibit last summer Of
the produce that one OF its employees
had raised on a plot OF land l00X3O
feet.
Six hens and some Belgian hares
were the livestock of the miniature
farm. Most OF their food came
from patch OF alfalfa Is feet
square. The hens had, among them,
an average OF four eggs a day to
their credit, and the young Belgian
hares meant a substantial saving in
the meat and poultry bills.
From a plot 45x27 feet in size,
seven sacks of potatoes were raised,
and between the rows grew squash
es. Green peas which yielded an
ample supply for the table during
the four months of summer were
planted on ground l2xl8 feet.
Other vegetables grew in smaller
plots and over the garden fence
trained berries which made a no
table showing at the exhibit.
The United States food admins
tration is showing that producing
and conserving food are both neces-
sary steps toward winning the war
See what kind of a plot you car
develop. See if you cannot better
the record OF this San Francisco
man who worked all day in an office
and devoted his after-hours service
to such a splendid act OF thrift and
valuation. Plan to grow next sum
mer something that will be a sub
stitute for the wheat, the meat, the
fats and the sugar which must &C
