Allotment and Checks

There has been change in the
system of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance OF the Treasury in the
matter of allotment and allowance
checks. This results in some Of
the checks sent out by the bureau
being for smaller sums than here
tofore, but the amounts omitted
from the checks sent out by the
bureau will be included in checks
sent out from other sources.
The new system will simplify
the work of the bureau and is ex-
pected to accelerate the payment
of allotments and allowances.
Prior to July last the War Risk
Insurance Bureau took the COM
pulsory allotment of SIS month
and whatever additional sum the
enlisted man chose to allot to his
family, and the whole amount,
together with the government al
lowance for dependents was in
cluded in one check and sent out
by the bureau. Beginning with
the July pay the bureau will col
lect and send out tonly the COM
pulsory allotment of SIS a month
and the government family al
lowance.
The excess allotments over the
compulsory SIS allotment and the
allotments to persons not entitled
by law to allowances will not be
handled BY the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, but by the War
or Navy Department, the Marine
Corp, or Coast Guard, according
to the branch Of service to which
the enlisted man belongs.

In fighting the mosquito pest it is
well to remember that sallow, stagnant
pools may often be eliminated through
planting Of eucalyptus, either in or
about such pools. These are very
thirsty trees and will drink up and
keep dry very considerable areas after
the trees have attained some size.
SWamps in Italy and France have been
