SOLDIERS PAY
RED TAPE CUT
House Passes Legislation
Forcing War Depart
ment TO Act
MANY ALLOTMENTS
STILL HELD UP

WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-Thoroughly
disguised with the delays OF the War
Department in paying allolmenis TO
soldiers families, the House took the
matter into its own hands yesterday
and passed legislation directing the De-
partment TO resume Immediately The
payment OF allotments suspended last
July.
It developed that through some mix
dp the War Risk Insurance Bureau,
after receiving thousands and thou
sands Of authorizations from soldiers
10 allot part Of their pay TO dependents
al home. found that this function Of
alloting pay belonged 10 the War De-
pariment. The Department then de-
manded new authorizations from sol
dlers instead Of using authorizations
already in the possession Of the War
Risk Insurance Bureau and suspended
allotments except on authorizations
they had received.
Since many soldiers had FIRST sent
authorizations TO the War Risk Insur-
ancs Bureau they had been shifted.
Some were In prison camps. Others In
hospitals: many could not be located
readily. Meanwhile the alloiments they
imagined their dependents were getting
were held up.
Representative Saunders (Na), Dem
ocrat father Of the legislation passed
yesterday. explained 10 the House that
the Secretaries OF War and the Treasury
had joint authority over the payment
OF allotments from pay alone, not in
cluding allowances provided for by the
war risk insurance act, and that the in
surance bureau made these all0tments
for a time
Mr.. Saunders declared there were
discontinued allotments amounting 60
between 100000 and S6.O00000 in the
hands Of the War Department yester-
day. In reply to questions. Mr.. Ssund-
crs said the bin did not take care OF
soldiers families where payments had
been stopped on the ground that the all
lotment was more than the soldier was
in the habit OF contributing 10 his fami-
ly's support Another bin soon 10 come
before the House will take care Of that
situation. he said.
Representative Barklaye KY eX-
planned that the granting Of the author
ity TO the War Risk Insurance Bureau
10 make allOtments merely paralleled
tie authority already vested in the War
Department. and the Navy Department
and that this had lead 10 the miX-up.

He told me the very first evening

You mean that Shelly couldn't

Yes" replied Virginia. There
was some mystery of denied ampi-

came to let her go in. And then as
long as you waited out here. why
did you let Envy slip by without
speaking to her?"

Jeanie, impatiently. II didn't know
she was there until l saw her in

II don't understand"

Jeanne. But l only got back a few

Envy said or did, for that matter

I'VE don't know how much she's
suffering" I replied.
Its all quiet in there. The nurse
would never have permitted Envy
to upset her" retorted Virginia
with indifference that amounted to
unconscious cruelty. And if she
does feel, say. half as badly as she
deserves, the nurse will give her a
hypodermic to quiet her. So there's
nothing. to worry about where our
guest is concerned. I've been here
all of 10 minutes and l haven't

"Oh, yes. I see," replied.
Again l thought it unnecessary to
tell Virginia how much under

LITTLE TALKS BY
EATRICE FAIRFAX

Jerry Walton is a good looking
chap with girls complexion and
boys smile and mans keen eyes
which can soften to tenderness on
the slightest provocation. The pro-
vocation which he has no trouble in
finding is the point of the story.
Jerry has a wife and a couple of
adorable kiddies and he seems an
| ideal husband and father to those
who note how they spend the sum-
mer in a cottage at the beach while
Jerry slaves in the office and can't
get a vacation till October. Then
Jerry comes to the big city. because
! there's no place else to go. And
what he does there is our point of
departure"
He hasn't any friends or relatives;
so he goes to good hotel, and after
shaving, dining and taking a stroll
up the street. he strolls back again
finds a comfortable chair in the
hotel and sits down to await devel-
opments. Maybe developments are
! worked out in the form of another
lonely man who suggests a movie
and a cabaret. Maybe they are pro-
vided by girl who looks as if some
one had forgotten to keep an APP
| pointment and she needed consoling.
But it's a ten to one that Jerry
ends the evening in the company OF
some attractive looking woman to
whom he hasn't been formally in
| troduced.
Jerry knows nothing about his
panion. She knows less of him.
A bit of harmless amusement is
what they're both after. And 'it
can't hurt Helen and the kiddies a
bit-and. anyway, they'll never
know" so Jerry's conscience is per-
fectly easy.
But someone from home occa-
sionally glimpses Jerry-and even
though he doesn't know about the
lack of introduction, feels that it's
funny for Jerry Walton to be "ca-
vorting" around without Helen. Or
the woman with whom he is passing
an idle hour or two develops int o
an incubus person who, because of
that hour thinks she ought to be
permitted to esta blish a claim to
his whole life.
Flirting With Danger.
Jerry's flirting with unhappiness
isn't he? And Helen and the kid
dies will pay, too-though the ugly
debt isn't theirs.
Then there's Luella Mason. She
adores her Billy, but he's fifteen
years older than she and he can't
be expected to understand how she
longs for light and gayety and good
times. So Lu surrounds herself
with a group of gay young people
to whom she and Billy act as chap
erones.
Billy's sort of bored most of the
time and he rather sits back and
d,ozes off. Lucille. however, in the
stunning clothes for which her pros
porous husband pays, and with her
gorgeous Jewels and pretty home, is
easily the most popular feminine
member of the crowd.
Perhaps she doesn't mean-to, but
how can she help contrasting Dick
Hollis's youth and liveliness with
Billy's stodginess? And perhaps,
also, she doesn't mean to, but how
can she resist the flattery that is her
daily portion? Isn't it coming to
be natural?
LUIS riding for a fall, isn't she?
She's either going to feel badly
bored with her Billy ere long, or
she's going to overvalue Dicks gifts
as a dancer and racounteur, or
she's going to gloat over her power
to gather a crowd about her in her
limousine or for her famous Sun
