running up into more than ten bill
lions of dollars. The Adjusted Com
pensatiop bill passed by the House
and now pending in the Senate pro-
vides optional choice of adjusted serv-
ice pay in cash, in insurance certifi-
Gates, in vocational training, in farm
and home aid or in land settlement.
The ex-service man may choose one
and only one of these options. Ac-
cording to Secretary Houston's own
figures all ex-service persons could
be given adjusted compensation in
cash for 81 ,342 900, 900. Since the
veteran in exercising any one of the
other options is allowed by the bill an
increase of only 40 per centum, no one
OF these features could cost the gov
ernment more than S1,S7S, 500, 900, that
figure being Houston's estimate of
what cash compensation would cost
plus forty per cent. Houston's esti-
mate that it would cost the govern
ment 81 ,534 900, 900 if all the ex-serv-
ice men took insurance certificates is
absured and disingenuous. The law
plainly states that these certificates
are to be of face value equal to the
sum of what adjusted compensation
would be in cash increased by forty
per cent. Houston arrived at gigantic
estimate of s4,534 ,OOO, 900 as cost of
insurance certificates for all ex-serv-
ice persons by computing what they
would get with interest thereon for
20 years at four and half per cent
compounded annually. Shining through
the ten billion dollar mirage remains
the clear fact that on basis of Mr..
Houston's own figuring 81 ,87S, 500 900
is the maximum amount adjusted
compensation bill would cost the gov
eminent under any circumstances.
Secretary Houston's whole presenta-
tion of matter was misleading and de-
signed to frighten country into repud-
iation of its obligation to ex-service
men. General impression conveyed by
his testimony that passage of adjust
ed compensation bill would entail the
immediate appropriation of billions of
dollars by government and seriously
cripple financial condition of Treasury
today. The facts are that appropria-
tions necessary to carry out all fea-
lures of bill except cash compensation
would be negligible for this year and
several years to come and that ap-
preparations for cash compensation
are not asked until July 1921. are then
to be spread over period of two
years. The whole thing is n scuttle
fish attempt to muddy the waters so
that the principle involved can be en-
meshed in lot of figures that mean
nothing"

Subject:
The Face at Your Window.

Recently the National Commander
was approached by Representatives Of
the Fox Film Corporation with a prop
osition that The American Legion con-
slider some form of joint production of
4 film entitled THE Face at your
Window" in connection with The
American Legion's Americanism work.
This film was shown to conference
OF Department Adjutants in Indian
apolis and was later modified to meet
certain suggestions submitted by this
conference and by representatives of
National Headquarters and the Ameri-
can Legion News service.
Thus far, the film corporation has
failed to present a proposition which
would justify The American Legion in
lending its name or influence to the
distribution Of this film.
Reports have reached National head
quarters that Individual Posts of The
American Legion have been approach
ed by film distributors with view to
securing their endorsement of the same
or similar film. This is to advise you
that the Fox Film Corporations pic
ture "The Face at your Window" has
not been approved or indorsed by The
American Legion and that any use OF
the name or emblem of The American
Legion in connection with this produc-
tion is unauthorized. Should any at
tempt be made to distribute this
on any other than strictly commerc-
ial basis, please notify this office.

Officials to House Senior
Institution.

! Old Central High School. at 7th and o
streets, vacated upon the opening OF the
| new institution at 18th and Clifton
streets, and now used as q Junior high
school. may again become senior in
stitution. School officials, it was learned
last night, are seriously considering q
plan to organize another high school in
the old building. in order to relieve
schools, which is said to have reached
serious proportions since the beginning
Of the second semester.
The plan proposed by school officials
to establish new high school at old
Central. it is pointed out, will not cause
the removal or abandonment Of the jun
| ior high school, which Is now located in
part of the building. The new high
school, it Is said. will be quartered in
the unoccupied portion of the building.
Housing for Excess Pupils.
Under the plan being considered by
high schools would be sent to old Cen
| trail until better accommodations can be
provided for them. The intended high
school unit in that building will be only
| temporary. and probably will not be or
ganized before the inception of the 1921
| 1922 academic year next September.
Meantime school officials hope to devise
some other plan to relieve the congested
conditions in the high schools until Con-
gress appropriates funds to erect new
The entire white high school system
now is operating on tWo-shift basis
in order to accommodate the large
enrollments. Several thousand ad-
ditional students are expected to enter
these schools next September, conse-
quently. officials at this time see no
other arrangement for making ac-
oommodations for the new students
! than to quarter them in the old Con-
| trail building.
Eighth Grades OvercrOwded.
Present overcrowded conditions in
number of the eighth grade classes
| In the elementary schools also has
caused a problem for school officials.
It Is likely that this situation will be
remedied by sending some of the
pupils to the Junior High School,
The enrolment at that school now
is the largest in it's history Figures
| compiled yesterday by Miss Alice
Deal, principal, show that about 500
students are registered, an increase
Of nearly 200 over the first semester.
Miss Deal believes that she can pro-
| vide aecommo dations for 300 more
| students at this institution.
