- cause Of worry and misery that
- disabled man occasionally
encounters settling his claim with
the Government is fast growing into
alarming proportions.
We refer to the counterfeit-thc
soldier who suffered no disability
from the war, but who would share
the benefits accorded to a man witt:
his sight impaired, the nerve in his
right arm severed, or with his foot
shattered.
The counterfeit wounded man is
well known at the Capital by Off
Gals in all branches of the Govern.
ment. When a disabled man with n
bona-fide claim for rehabilitation
under the law affecting his case APP
pears on the scene, sometimes he
finds it tremendously difficult to
get action on his papers. Here the
work of the counterfeit shows with
telling effect.
Senators and Congressman with
anxiety for their constituency are
prone to aid any man who comes to
them with claim, and who repre-
sents himself to be a disabled
soldier. A tart note to the Veterans
Bureau follows any delay on its
part-sometimes when the bureau
has the cold facts proving the claim
ant spurious. It is the misfortune
of political etiquette that the clerks
handling soldier cases cannot give
the Congressman the "low-down'
on the counterfeit status-but
things aren't done exactly that way
in the Federal Government.
An official cannot point the finger
of suspicion at a man who comes to
him for aid in furthering his case.
But he can keep in touch with the
bureau, and should understand that
many delays are caused simply by
the eaeerness shown by some Fed
eral representatives to do anything
for the wounded man.
1t is a delicate subject to handle,
at best. The counterfeit is we'll
aware Of this and takes advantage
Of the situation. But the true friend
of the disabled man is one who is
just as jealous in protecting his
rights from invasion as he is in
furthering his claim. Aid the dis
abled man, even if it means sacri-
flee of other duties-but protect the
disabled man from counterfeits and
impostors, or the true soldiers case
is hopeless.

The Lure Of the UpkvtOlUn

THE greatest human force known
is curiosity.
= It is the lure of the unkn own.
The goal that most attracts men
is the unknown goal.
The reason why they have always
wanted to get to the North Pole is
because they didn't know what was
there.
It is the Unknown that has led
the eternal army of pioneers across
seas, deserts, mountains.
AS the star of empire westward
takes it's way, the name of the angel
that carries it as torch is the I'm.
known.
The lure of the Unknown is
stronger than any natural instinct.
1t is present when the sex fires have
died out. 1t remains in full force
when religion has disappeared. T.
stands untouched and vigorous amid
the ruins of faith.
1t is what makes people go on iv-
ing. If they knew what is going to
take place tomorrow and after, few
would care to live on.
It is strong even in death, for
what has made death the most dra
matte and interesting of all things
is that it is utterly mysterious. So
we 90 gaily into "The Great Adveu-
ture."
The greatest abode of the Un-
known is Woman.
The smile of Mona Lisa is til,
most alluring stroke of art, for no.
body Snows what it means.
A beautiful face, a shapely form,
a clever mind, these are nothing
among a woman's charms compared
to the Unknown there.
A woman may be plain featured
and bad tempered, even a cripple,
but if she can keep man guessing
she will win out over all the baby
faces and come hither eyes.
So with men. We wonder why u
woman will run away from hand
some, rich and considerate husband
who loves her, and take up with a
romantic BLACKBOARD who abuses,
her.
The answer is, she knows her hus-
band; the rascal has the lure of the
Unknown.
Hence
Keep 'em guessing!
Preserve the mysteries
Let not the intimacies destroy the
preservative reticencesl
We do not want to be sure. We
are children, and love game.
And the essence of any game,
even the two great games of Love
and Life, is that we shall not know
what comes next and what will be
the end.

was unfavorable to the investigation,
declared the only refusal was in the
case OF Hill and Lindsey who were
