Daddy Lorimer had lived by the

HIS fling being ended, he honest

that if Martha held on bravely to the
duties of marriage as Mother Lori

But was Martha's husband worth
Martha's sacrifice? Worth the drain

the "only avenue" by which the gov

! "1N> trade associations throughout
the country" he said, have been

because some very small minority of
the associations have undertaken
practices that were in fact or in sus-
picion a violation of the restraint of
trade acts. A short time ago can

to find the number that embraced in
their category of effort those par

a suspicion, and it was found that
less than 10 per cent of the trade
associations in the United States have
any functions of that character at

VETERANS OF THIS AREA
FILING HONEST CLAIMS
Few Efforts to Defraud Govern
ment Found in Cleanup
Drive Here.

| The Veterans Bureau has placed
the stamp Of honesty upon service
men Of Maryland. Virginia, West Vir
| ginia and the District.
In a statement issued last night it
was announced that comparatively
! few efforts were made to defraud the
| government in the recent cleanup
drive conducted by the bureau. In
practically all of the new claims
| Of the Veterans Bureau at the ten
| week drive cases checked up against
4 a master index show that only five
men in every hundred attempted to
file a second claim in duplicate of an
| original one.
There is very little chance of
| former service man putting through
a second claim for disability compen-
sation when he marks 1t as an origi-
nal claim" the statement announced.
| "As soon as it reaches the central
| Office of the bureau it is checked first
| against his name and Army serial
number and then against his service
| record. He is also compelled to iden
| tify himself with his service record.
When a duplicate claim comes in
marked as an original the man max
ing the claim, besides having it dis
allowed, lays himself open to a fraud
| charge"
In a number of cases claims have
been improperly marked as a result
! of mistakes but no case is known in
! which payment has ever been made in
! duplicate. Even in such cases mis-
takes would show UP almost immedi-
i ately in the auditing and compensa-
! tion sections, and a refund would i've
| exacted of the man receiving the doH
| BILE compensation.
| Thousands of new claims have been
! executed in the field since the begin
! ming of the Cleanup" drive. In ad-
dition to the work done by the squads
/ that swing through the states in this
| district the interest of the former
service men in their compensation,
| training. insurance and other rights
| from the government has been stimu-
| lated and great many new cases are
coming in through the eight sub
! district offices recently established in
| this district.
