Then for long time heard only
the sound Of feet and wheels muiiied
in the sand, while my uncle sat look

Sally seemed TO be very glad'to see

through the meadows.

IN TWO FORMS
Government Insurance and
Compensation Are En-
tirely Apart
SOLDIERS MAY GET BOTH
Dependency Necessary in One,
With Other Available to
Any Beneficiary

Many military and naval men, and
families of these men, have confused
Compensation" and government insur-
ance." These two forms of financial pro-
lection offered by the United States gov
ernment are entirely separate and inde-
pendent Of each other.
The United States offers its fighting
forces the protection of government in
surance. This insurance Is payable re-
gardless of any dependency, and
beneficiary is entitled to receive the in
surance without proving any dependency
upon the insured. Claims for death or
total permanent, disability will be al
lowed regardless of whether such claims
arise in line of duty. by suicide or own
misconduct of the insured.
It has been stated that insurance is
, to take the place of pensions. This is
not correct. 1t was never intended that
insurance was to take the place of pen
slons and they should not be confused
Compensation" however, another
form of government protection, which
is separate and apart from insurance,
does take the place Of pensions provided
under the old pension system. and is
payable only to a wife, child, dependent
mother or father of a soldier or sailor
who is disabled or dies as the result Of
injury suffered or disease contracted in
the line Of duty while employed In the
active service, provided the disability
does not result from the mans own will
ful misconduct. No premium is paid
for the rights to obtain compensation.
Compensation may be payable in addl-
ton to insurance. but a mother or father
must prove actual dependency in order
to receive monthly payments of com
pensation. Compensation may be paid
q widow until remarriage, and to a
child until the age of eighteen or until
marriage.
If a man becomes totally and perman-
entity disabled, the governmet makes two
separate and distinct payments. He Will
receive an award under compensation,
and in addition to this will receive an
income of $5.75 per month from his in
surance for each $1,000 of insurance he
carries. If the disability is only partial
no insurance is payable, but IL such
partial disability is incurred in line OF
duty, compensation is payable. the
monthly compensation paid in this case
shall be a percentage of the compensa'
ton that would be payable for his tota
disability equal to the degree of nc
compensation shall be payable for a re,
duct:on in earning capacity rated al
less than ten per centum. This disaoil'
ity need not be of permanent character
to receive compensation.
No compensation is payable for deatf
or disability which does not occur prior
to or within one year from date Of sep
aration from the service. No compensa
ton is payable for disability unless
claim is filed within five years after the
date Of separation from the service.
Under insurance, a man Is protected
both while in the service and after dis
charge or release from active duty fo
the full term of his insurance policy.

MAYOR URGES FUND
FOR PEACE JUBILEE
Instructs Gaffney to Have
Councils Provide Money
for Demonstration

Mayer Smith has instructed Chair
Committee. to lose no time in having
Councils provide funds necessary for
the peace celebration and for the proper
reception Of returning Philadelphia
troops. The Finance Committee on Mon
day afternoon will approve bill appro-
pr!ating 100000 for the Mayors com
mittee, of which Joseph E. Widener is
chairman.
Chairman Gaffney IS one Of the few
city officials to confer with the Mayor
during his long illness and his instruc-
tions were explicit and to the effect that
no delay Is to be occasioned in setting
aside funds to honor Philadelphians who
took part in the world war. The Mayor
upon his recovery intends taking a most
active part in the arrangements for the
reception of the troops and for the laeace
jubilee.
The needed funds will come from
Councils nest egg" or money appro-
priated for sinking fund charges and in
terest on new loans that will not be
needed this year. An effort made to
transfer 100000 from the 100000 set
aside for the support and maintenance
of dependents of soldiers and sailors
met with failure and the money will now
be taken from the special item which is
nearly exhausted.
Mayor Smith has signed the bill re-
naming the Northeast Boulevard the
Roosevelt Boulevard and other measures
setting aside funds for the erection of
piers along the Delaware River water
front. He is directing the letting of
municipal contracts from his home at
Glensde and daily he goes over esti-
mates submitted by various contracting
concerns for different municipal under
takings planned for the last nine months
of his administration.
