Surrogate Cohalan reserved decision
yesterday on a matter that may not
be definitely settled even after the
Surrogate decides it. The case had
to do with the claim Of Mrs. Anna
johanna Sheehan, to the ownership OF
many gallons of whisky, gin and wine,
which had been the property Of her
late husband, Daniel Sheehan.
Mr.. Sheehan retired from the liquor
business in 1919 He turned over his
stock to Henry Schlicher. Of 1854

keeping. Mrs. Sheehan now is trying
to get possession. Schlicher, through
his attorney. told Surrogate Cohalan
that after Sheehan had made him Gus
'todan Of his stock Of liquors and
wine, the retired liquor man came to
his house from time to time and took
away most of the stock. Only nine
gallons remained in his custody said
Schiicher, and this Sheehan told him
to keep for himself.
Surrogate Cohalan said he did not
see how the liquor could be taken
from the home of Schlcher and de-
livcred to Mrs. Sheehan without the
risk of confscation. Also the Surro-
gate said, that under existing condi-
tions the disputed liquor chad 70

of the bonus were counting to defeat
the plan, did not materialize.
Charles H. Blakeslee, of Bingham
ten. spokesman for New York, ex-
pressed the sentiment Of the Empire
State by reading the report of the
state executive committee returned on
March 10, in which that body said:
THE hearing in Albany on adjusted
compensation was very clear and posi-
tive in the expression voiced in favor
Of indorsing the action Of the national
executive committee in recommending
such compensation"
clearly that New York approved de-
handing action of Congress.
No Reason for Delay
In his opening address Commander
D'Olier recited the. history of the ad-
lusted compensation wrangle from its
beginning at Minneapolis last Novem-
why Congress should not act as
promptly on this measure as it did on
the Sweet bill last December.
There is desire on the part of
many members Of Congress-" he said.
"to do something for former service
persons, while it is feared that other
members of Congress may attempt to
block any and all beneficial legislation.

with authority for them. After full
discussion, it should be possible,
through the truly typical American Lee
glon characteristic of the spirit Of toll

general conclusion which can be unan-
imously supported as representing the
wishes of the big majority Of ex-serv-
ice persons.

sponsibility, and the proper solution
of this problem means more than some
of US may realize, not only to all ex-
service men, but to the whole country

future of the Legion and it's future eff
fectiveness for service to the country
and to our comrades.

to all of the four million ex-service

deducted from their pay and sent back
to their dependents. This would amount
to SIG month and would be paid I'M
mediately. Thus, veteran who had
served twenty months would receive
$500 forthwith. In addition he would
receive a fivesyear bond for an amount
equal to $50 month for each month
Of service. This would not be nego-

Delegates of Thirty six
States Decide to Call on
Congress for Pay for
Every Day Spent i'll Service
Will Cost $5OO,O 600, 600
New York Plan Suggested
by Hayes Is Yet To Be
Passed on in Conference

BIZ the Tribxne's American Legion Editor
WASHINGTON, March 22.-National
committeeman of the American Legion,
representing every state in the Union,
in conference here tonight, over
whelmingly decided to call on Congress
for additional compensation for vet
Grams of the world war at the rate of
$1.5O day for every day or service
The vote was taken after long debate
tonight over an earlier proposal that
Congress be asked to award $50 for
every month of service.
Delegates from thirty-six states and
the District Of Columbia reported SEN
timent in their departments in favor
of the demand, and only six states were
said by their representatives to be I'M
alterably opposed to it. The remaining
states notified the convention that, al.
though their members were divided in
sentiment and it would be difficult to
accurately reflect the real situation,
they were prepared to abide by the
wishes of the ma ority and indorse the
bonus.
Big Reduction in Estimate
According to the plan advanced to-
day by the Legion's delegates, the gov
eminent would be compelled to raise
only S106,000,O 900 this year to carry out
the program, and total appropriation
of only $500,000000 would be necessary
to see the whole program through.
This compares with an estimate of
by an opponent of the bonus.
The small figure is based on the
proposition that all the veterans will
not clam the bonus. Legion officials
say they have substantial proof that
only half CT the $50 bonus awards have
been claimed by men discharged from
the service, and they believe the addl-
tional compensation will be treated the
same way.
General satisfaction was expressed
by the delegates over the fact that at
last the Legion will be able to pre-
sent to Congress in concrete form the
desires of the veterans organization
as unit. They are confident of speedy
action and fail to see how Congress
can evade it.
The first ballot was taken on the
demand recently framed by the ma
tional legislative committee, which is
a fourfold optional plan, giving the
veteran his choice of as many different
forms of additional compensation They
are: Land settlement; loans for the
purchase of city or country homes;
vocational training; cash bonus.
States in Opposition
The six states that voiced vigorous
opposition were Arkansas, Mississippi
South Carolina, Florida, Texas and
Idaho. The doubtful states were
Georgia. Kentucky, New Mexico, West
Virginia, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
However, their declaration that they
were prepared to stand with the ma
jority make it apparent that the antici-
pated solid South" opposition, upon
which the most optimistic opponents

Essex Has Performance Like the Cost
Hest Fine Cars-As World Endurance
Record Has Never Been RiuaZed

The most important thing that
Essex has proved is that weight and
size are no longer necessary to finest
Car quality.
All concede average ability in any
modern car.
So it was to prove ability far be-
yond what any light car ever has
shown that Essex made its famous
endurance tests.
It's 3,037. miles in so hours is a
worlds endurance record. The test
was official. Supervisors of the A.
"A. A. certified the Essex stock
chassis in every detail.
Never before was a car driven at
top speed for so hours. The grind
was more severe than years of road
use. Yet at the end the Essex
showed no measurable wear. In
deed, the same stock chassis in three
trials was driven $500 miles, at an
average speed above mile minute.
Such Endurance as You
Want in Your Car
What car, the Essex size and
weight, can even attain a mile-a-
minute speed, much less keep it up

These results were decisive. They
proved Essex not only the supreme
performer of the light car field.
They showed that with it's advan-

security, in difficult traffic.
Essen Wins on Quality
Minus Useless Weight
Essex won recognition on the is
sue OF finest quality without useless
weight and size. That issue is UPPER
most today.
With Essex you sacrifice no pleas
ure, comfort or performance ability
that the large, high priced car can
give.
You will take pride in your Essex
from the first. It's snartness, it's rich
fittings and finishing, it's quiet lux
ury and superior performance give il
distinction everywhere. And time
and use will increase your esteem
and respect for it. You will come to
rely absolutely on it's dependability.
You will expect and find it always
ready tor any demands you NAV
make.
These are the reasons why Essex
set worlds sales record in its first
year. And orders now are 50 far
ahead it is certain that even that m
rlvaled mark will be surpassed this
year. ~ ~
Thousands, realizing this, are
placing their orders now. We advise
that you do likewise, else you may
be disappointed in delivery.

tages OF moderate price and econ
omy it combines such endurance
and dependability as few large, high
priced cars offer.
Greater size could add nothing to
Essex. 1t has the qualities which
weight and size are built to give
riding comfort, solidness, distinction
and smooth, quiet pace. But in addi-
ton it has fuel, oil and tire economy.
And it's durability means freedom
from repair costs and positive, de-
pendable transportation.

PLAN TO GET FEDERAL HELP
Positive Obligation Should BE Placed
Upon States 20 Give Aid 70
County Units.

That federal aid funds should here
after be expended only upon roads
which are included in an intercounty
system Of main highways, is becoming
fixed policy in many states, despite
the fact that the present road act does
not require such use OF the money.
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Indiv
ana, Illinois, Wyoming and Washing
ton recently have practically decided
to conhne the federal money to roads
that count in well-defined state sys-
TENS.
eff the national government is to
continue the policy Of appropriating
federal funds to the 4S states for high
way improvement, a positive obligation
should be placed upon the states to
give aid to their county units" asserts
President David Jameson of the Amer
lean Automobile association, which or
ganization devoted its countrywide
energies to the passage Of the federal
aid road act and urged such legislation
at a time when it was far from popu-
lar.
IF it is the correct thing -and we
believe that 1t is-for the weather.
and more settled states to give as
sistance through the federal treasury
to the less populated and undeveloped
parts of the country, this national CO.
operation carries with it an obligation
to the state to function as common
wealth in the form Of intercounty
roads built and maintained entirely at
state expense.
"While it has been found necessary
in some states TO employ automobile
registration money in floating state
bond issues, this should not be done
except as a last resort, simply because
there is need of yearly maintenance
funds and these are best supplied BY
the registration and other taxes col
/ lected from mOtorcar owners. The
total of this money for the whole cOun-
try now exceeds $5O,OO0,O00."

SEEDING CLOVER IN SPRING
on Account Of High Price Of Seed, Il
Is Recommended That Care Be
Taken With Seed Bed.

Broadcast clover seed on winter

It is this year, it will pay to be EST \
cially careful about the preparation

still wet nothing can be done in tn
way of narrowing and preparing Ne

Of the harrow are slanted backward.
Wherever possible it viii be advisable
to seed with a drill as from two to
four pounds less seed per acre will

than that, a better stand is usually

REMARKABLE RACE BY HORSE
Castor, Morgan celdln0, Finishes Long
Endurance Contest With Clean
Speed Record.

prepared ~ the United states Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In 300-mile endurance contest
with horses of the purest Arabian
breeding, Castor" Morgan gelding
bred by the United States department
Of agriculture at its MIddlebury, Vt,
Morgan horse farm, was the only
horse with a clean speed record at
the Nend Of the fourth day Of the
grueling contest. "Castor" won third
place for speed at the end Of the con-
test, notwithstanding the fact that he
fell in the deep sand on a bad bit OF
road, injured his nose, and made the
last five miles in a walk. This
achievement is an indication Of what
has been accomplished by the depart
ment Of agriculture in the rehabilita-
ton Of the Morgan breed during the
few years since the work was under
taken.
The race was from Fort Ethan Al
len, VT, to Camp Devens, Mass, large
ly over unirnproved roads. The pur-
pose was to stimulate interest in the
breeding Of cavalry mounts through
out the United States. A majority of
the horses entered were Arabians,
One was crossbreed that had seen
overseas service and was the first
horse to pass successfully through
quarantine at Newport News. Two
were Morgans, bred at the depart
ment's farm. The veteran of overseas
service, Bob" owned and ridden by
Colonel George, led the field at the
beginning of the race, but was taken
out before the finish. The two Arab

COST OF HORSE BLEMIsHES
Defects Cannot Always Be Prevented,
but One Bad Spot Will Prove
Expensive.

A horse market report from one of
the Western selling points says /:
'When present. blemishes take off up
to $50 or even more from the price of
first-rate animals of the same type"
Blemlshes can't always be prevented,
but it is good business TO try to pre-
vent them, for, as can readily be seen,
one bad spot in the makeup of a
horse may mean the difference be-
tween profit and loss on him. Outside
of precautions to prevent injury the
only safeguard against bemishes is
to breed only sound mares to sound
stations Sometimes colt win be
CURLY or otherwise defective, in spite
of all that can be done to avoid such
weaknesses, but that is no argument
against trying to produce only the
good ones.

With a recent gift Of 100000 it is
announced that two Nevada stretches
of the Lincoln highway win be inn

first American transcontinental high
way. 1t is sentiment of the donor that
the work should properly be done by
the state and federal governments, but
he is glad to make a personal sacri-
fee that the finished road may be
presented to the American people as
an object lesson. 1t is felt that the
greatest value of this pioneer highway
lies in its educative value for the gem

ADDITIONAL FEED FOR PIGS
scaIded MiddIings, With Milk Added,
Placed in Shallow Trough ls
Fine for Porkers.

When the pigs are about three
weeks old they will want to eat more
than the milk they can get from their
mother. A small shallow trough
should be placed where the SOW can
not get to 1t. Scald some middlings,
stir and pour in some milk. Put into
the feed about tablespoonful of
moIasses. Drive the little pigs care
fully over to the trough. They will
get the odor from the mOlasses. put
their noses to the feed, lap it and
begin to eat.
