 To the veteran who has no wife, but one child, $90 a month, with $5 for each additional child, an increase from $40.
 To the veteran With dependent pa rents, an extra allowance of $10 a month for each is also granted.
 "Of course, all disabilities will not come within the rating of total tenn porary," MT. Sweet said, land so the new law provides that all disabilities shall be rated by the war risk bureau. These. other ratings are: Partial and temporary, total and permanent and partial and permanent; and for each the monthly compensation shall be a percentage of the degree of reduction in earning capacity resulting from this disability The reduction in earn ing capacity must be at least 10 per cent before one can receive any com pensation
 "For total permanent disability the compensation is fixed at $100 a month. The law specifically provides that the loss of both feet or both hands, or the sight of both eyes, or the loss of one foot and one hand, or one foot and one eye, or one hand and one eye, or becoming permanently bedridden shall be deemed to be total permanent dis ability Then, too, double total per manent disability entities one to $200 a month as long as he lives.

HOW WAR RISK
 INSURANCE IS
 NOW PAYABLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (by Asso- ciated Press ).-How monthly benefits paid under the war risk insurance act have been increased and the class of heneficiaries enlarged by the recently. enacted Sweet bill was explained re. gently by it's author, Representative Sweet of Iowa.
 Converted insurance may now be paid in lump sum or in installments for thirty-six months or more, at the option of the policy-holder, MT. Sweet said, while the policies may be made payable to any of the following:
 Parent, grandparent, step-parent, pa rent through adoption, husband, wife, child, grandchild, stepchild, adopte[ child, brother, sister, half-sister, half Sbrother, brother through adoption, stepmother, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother-in-law, sister-in-law; any person who was in the relation of a parent to the insured for one year be- fore the insured's enlistment, the chil- dren of such person, and parent through adoption of the insured's wife through adoption of the insured's wife or husband.
 ''The monthly compensation paid un- der the new law" said Mr. Sweet, "is Amore than double-almost treble that paid in the past This increase, which is permanent, will add SS0, 0,000,- o00 a year to the amounts paid by the government to the disabled ex-service men and their families.
 By the retroactive provisions of the law, all payments of compensation will be increased to the new basis. Pay nNents now are being made by the war risk bureau to make up the difference between the old rate of compensation and the new one. This is an immedi- ate and direct benefit to 241 1922 vet erans, among whom s14,500,00 is be- ing distributed. For instance, an un- married soldier who has been drawing $50 a month for the last year will re- ceive $500 at once, the monthly con- pensation by the new law being in- creased by $50 in his case"
 MT Sweet also explained the per manent monthly increases provided for all disabled ex-service men. For total temporary disability the new compensation will be paid as follows:
 To the unmarried veteran, $8O a anonth, an increase of S30.
 To the veteran with wife, s9O a month, an increase from s45.
 To the veteran with a wife and chld, 1895 monti,, an increase from $55.
 To the veteran with wife and two

directs that disability ratings shall be based as far as practicable upon the average impairments of earning capacity resulting from injuries in civil occupations, and not upon the impairment of earning capacity in each individual case. From time to time the bureau is directed to readjust the schedule of ratings in accordance with actual experience.
 Besides the money paid by the gov ernment as compensation to the war. disabled men, the law also provides that all injured veterans shall be fur nished with reasonable government medical and hospital services, and such supplies, including artificial limbs, trusses and similar appliances, as the war risk bureau may deter mine
 "This medical and hospital treat ment will be given to Americans who may be living in foreign countries as we'll as in the United States, and Americans who fought in the armies of the allies can receive the treat ment at hospitals in this country.
 Twenty to thirty thousand Ameri- cans were part of the Canadian army, and of necessity the Canadian govern ment must look after these who are maimed and crippled, no matter where they may live. Many of these have returned to the United States and can be treated in our own government hos pitals by the new law authorizing the bureau to establish reciprocal arrange ments for the treatment of the vet erans. In turn, the Americans who go to Canada can be treated in the Canadian hospitals, or supplied with artificial limbs and appliances. In either case one government will call upon the other to Joe reimbursed for

 Pores served his first term in Joliet, Ill.,, prison in 1867 and later served a fve-year term in the Fort Madison, Iowa, prison for robbing a post of flee.
 In 1885 he first became acquainted with the Missouri penitentiary as an inmate and has spent most of his time there since. He managed to escape the habitual criminal act. probably through the fact that he has never been tried more than twice in any one county in the state. His trade, before taking up that of burglary, was engineering.

amount o. grain and q few handfuls
OF hay. Under this strain the mule
went forward. giving his all uneom-
plainingly.
The mule had always been given
the credit OF having his full quota OF
brains, but at times il seemed he had
more than his share. He may run
when hitehed 10 a wagon. but invari-
ably does no harm to himself or the
wagon. When tired he makes his con-
dition known by quitting. However
this quality did not come to the fore
during the days Of ST. Mihiel and in
the Argonne."
A good many farmers these days,
devoted to their horses say gosh
darn a mule anyway" on general
principles but the army loves and
admires him for services rendered and
would like to see him get the Dis
tinguished service medal.
