To Be FOUR-FOLD.
New Plans Laid for the War
Veteran Benns.
Cash, Farms, Education or Paid
Insurance Offered.

Washington. April 20.-A four-fold
soldier aid program, giving the service
men the option of a cash bonus, credit
toward purchase of a farm or home,
vocational training, or paid-up gov
ernment insurance, is now being for
mulated by the house ways and means
committee, Chairman Fordney said
tocay.
Four sub committees have been
considering the four proposals during
the last three weeks and it is expected
their recommendations will be COM
bined into one bill which will be re-
ported to the house next week, ac-
cording to Fordney. The combined
Plan in the main follows demands of
the American Legion.
All of the four optional propositions
would be based on the number of days
a man served-that is, a bonus or
credit of SO much for each day served
would be allowed. Likewise all of the
forms of aid would be limited to the
men who. it is believed, suffered the
heaviest financial losses by reason of
their service. This class numbers
about 100000 out of the $500, 900
enrolled in the army, navy and marine
corps.
At present. the committee is consid-
ering proposals to fix these amounts
at from 81 to s1.75 for each day
served.
The credits planned in other sec
tions of the bill to aid in home or land
buying, vocational training or the con-
tinuance of government insurance
probably will be about SO cents for
each days service in excess of the cash
bonus figure.
Republican house leaders today
called a party caucus for Thursday
night. to consider the soldier aid legis-
lation now being framed by the ways
and means committee. Efforts will
be made, it was decided at a meeting
of the steering committee. to fix the
, amount of the additional compensation
and to agree whether the necessary
revenue will be raised by a sales ta1
or levy on war profits.

BUILDING Of a Piano.

There is no other industry for which
greater variety of timber is required
and none in which the timber must
be seasoned more carefully than piano
building. The varieties include Ca
madam spruce, American oak and
whitewood Honduras mahogany and
best English beech. Sounding boards
are made of Swiss pine, the "Ahies
Excelsa,' which is nothing but the
Christmas tree with which we are all
so familiar. All this timber has to be
seasoned in a special heating chamber,
where it is subjected for days togeth-
er to powerful dFaught of dry air.
1t was not until more than half of the
eighteenth century had passed that the
piano became popular In 1867 it was
announced as novelty at concert
given in Covent garden. London.
