The Beetles STAYED,

Recently carload Of beetle infested
potatoes arrived in Los Angeles. Inc
starting thing about this was that the
car came from Idaho, where the potato
beetle is extinct.
An investigation was made by Fred
erick Maskew, state quarantine officer
of California, and 1t was found that
the same car had been used a little
earlier to carry load potatoes out
Of Colorado, where the beetle -four
ishes. Obviously, after these potatoes
were removed, the beetles lurked in
out-of-the-way corners, waiting for a
fresh load. The department of agricul-
ture is taking steps to have freight
cars cleaned at the point Of unloading
in the future. - Popular Science

months premiums on the amount of in
surance to be- reinstated, one covering
the month Of grace during which the
policy was in force, and one for the
month in which reinstatement is made,
This is very generous provision, and
will mako it possible for all ex-service
men to retain their government insur-
ance after they have become adjusted
again Ia their normal civil life. Indeed,
look for a very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bill passes the senate and becomes an
act and it is made known to all those
who are affected.
'The bureau appreciates tremendous
ly the cooperation 1t has had from
the insurance officials and the men Of
the insurance profession, and it is to
be regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the ex-service men by encour-
aging the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
in private companies. 1t is my per
sonal opinion that all ex-service men
in such instances should combine lin
their disapproval of such action, and
should in some forceful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty of such practices. Indeed,
in the years to come, I feel confident
that in such cases where ex-service
men have been advised in such way as
to allow them to lose their government
insurance. that there will be at least
one man in the world whom the ex-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust, and that will be the un-
scrupulous agent who in time Of test
was found wanting"

important Amendments in Bill
Are asked of National
Lawmakers.
REVISE SCHEDULE UPWARD
Increased Compensation for Disabled
Ex-Service Men Is Urged-Bureau
Seeks to Give Fullest Possible
Service to Those Affected.

Washington.-"Our work In conduct
ing the affairs of the bureau must be
guided by the counsel of the soldiers,
sailors and marines themselves. Our
aim is to be of the fullest possible serv-
Ice to those affected by the act"
Thus Colonel R. G. Cholmeley-Jones
director of the bureau of war risk in
surance, in the course of talk to
wounded soldiers at Walter Reed hos
pital, Washington, D. c., epitomized
the motives behind the action of the
bureau In requesting congress, through
the treasury department, to enact sew
eral important amendments to the war
risk insurance act. These may be d.
vided into two general classes-those
affecting the compensation features of
the act, and those concerning war
risk insurance.
A very important proposed amend
ment, and one which meets with wide
spread approval, Is the upward revi-
sion of the schedule Of compensation
payable to disabled ex-service men.
Under the present schedule man to-
tally disabled is entitled to $50 a
month, if single. The amendment
raises this by $50, making $50 pay
able under these circumstances. If he
has wife but no child living he gets
$45; the amendment provides 800. If
he has a wife and one child, he draws
at present, $55; the amendment gives
him sos.
Extend the Provisions.
The law now provides that if a man
loses both hands, both feet, or the
sight of both eyes, or becomes helpless
and permanently bedridden, he shall
receive 500 q month compensation.
Experience has shown that many men
who have lost an arm and leg, or one
limb and the sight of one eye, are just
as badly crippled as men who have
lost both feet or both hands, and so
the bureau has recommended that in
addition to the injuries at present en-
titling a man to compensation at the
rate of 500 month, the following
shall be included: The loss of one foot
and one hand; the loss of one foot and
the sight of one eye. These are deem
ed "total and permanent disability" by
the express wording Of the amend
ment. There Is also a provision that
for double total permanent disabil-
lty," meaning cases in which men are
MANNED so seriously that their injuries
include two of these classifications, the
compensation shall be $500 a month.
The bureau has found very wide
spread sentiment among ex-service
men in favor of having their policies
made payable in lump sum, or in in
stallments covering short period Of
time, at their option. To meet this
demand Director Cholmeley-Jones has
urgently recommended a modification
of the war risk insurance act to permit
making provision in the contract for
converted insurance for optional set
Elements on the part of the insured,
making. such insurance payable either
In one sum or in installments for thir-
ty-six months or more.
If the insured has not exercised his
right of election, under the proposed
amendment the beneficiary may elect
