Questions and Answers

q. Does the widow of a soldier
continue to get her war risk insur-
ance if she remarries p. l.. ].
A. The monthly payments which
the widow of a soldier receives are
in lieu of a cash payment of the
whole amount. 1t is, therefore, not
affected by her remarriage, and her
payments continue Just as though
she had remained single.
@. What is an air pocket IN.
T. II.
A. When an airplane is travelling
Mt the rate of fifty miles an hour
there is a pressure of air against it's
wings that keeps it up. If it should
suddenly run into current of air
that was blowing at the rate of fifty
miles an hour in the direction in
which it was going, there would be
no resistance under its wings and it
would fall. This would be an air
pocket.

situation, what does the increase in
the cost of living amount TON.
A. V.
A. Carefully prepared statistics
furnished by the national industrial
conference board shows that on &C
count of the war, the cost of living,

reference to the recent speech of for
mer President Taft in Omaha was
loudly cheered.
i When the president began talking.
he was cheered for one minute and
forty seven seconds. He began his
address by declaring that he appeared
not as a party representative but as
a representative of all of the people
of America.

This treaty represents the views of
the people of the United States" he
said. Il brought a copy of the treaty
with me; here 1t is" he said, hold
ing the big, bulky, white bound copy

declared the president, agreed that it
contained "a complete settlement of
the matters that led to this war;" and
that 1t contained the machinery by
which they shall stay settled"

labor clause of his Des Mones speech,
following closely the outline he made
during his address in that city.
His declaration that when Germany
has demonstrated that she can be
trusted she will be welcomed into the
league Of nations was greeted with
applause.
Speaking of the severity of the
terms imposed upon Germany, the
president said:
when a person commits a crime
he is severely punished. Germany
committed this atrocious crime. She
must be punished. But when she
meets the severe terms imposed upon
her she will come into the league of
nations and America will go into the
league, either as one of its founders
and as director of world liberty or
as companion to Germany, when
she has expiated her crime"
