Washington. Nav If Officials Of the
American Legion, meeting here this week
and scheduled to remain in session until

IN the House, will again have before them
the question Of whether there should be a
cash bonus
The executive committee of the legion
has made its report and il was favor
able report on this subject and the qucs-
tion may not arise this time in open Ses-
sion nor from any action Of the legion
officials But it is known that some Of the
Republican leaders of the House intend
by one method or another to again put the
danger Of the cash bonus proposal before
the legion officers and to ask them to
make another decision
Il think YOU can say that the soldier
bonus legislation IN the House will de-
pend upon what the Legion does at the
meeting this week, said one OF the Re-
publican leaders who has fought the
bonus idea from the first
If the Legion demands that action
be had on the legislation, 40 doubt a bill
will get out of the WAYS and means com
mIttce, and once on the floor undoubtedly
it Will be adopted But /. for one, am
hoping the Legion will decide otherwise.
There IS no denial among certain Re-
puhhcans that they hope the legion will
decide before this week is AT an end that
the cash bonus should not be granted
1t would be the saving grace for the Re
pubicans in the House who. faced by

music Mrs Jones observed, flor. tt must reach the old and the young alike. It must prepare the listener. or the singer. for the message that the evangelist is to deliver, and it carries with it a sermon just as the evangel- ist's words carry a sermon. It teaches people not to be selfish, and unkind, and unjust to their neighbors, and it carries the gospel and teaches les son in every word that is sung.
 No one appreciates music's value 10 a revival more than Rev. Bob Jones. Mrs Jones said, "and he enjoys the music and appreciates the preparation that it makes for him and for his words, and he realizes how the thou sands who come to the church with practically no interests in common. must have their minds focused on the same thought. And the way to do this, so that when he is ready to preach. they will be in accord with him and ready to receive his message. is through music, with the right kind Of beautiful gospel music, which makes the heart and the mind of great gath ering as one heart and one mind and creates a sort of universal brotherhood. as it were, throughout the congrega- tion.
