City.
Dear Sir;
My article Of November sth has met
with an unexpectedly favorable re-
ceptiOn at the hands OF The citizens
OF Albuquerque, but In justice TO my
self. | wish to make an explanation
OF two OF my suggestions which have
been criticized. Either l did not ex-
press myself clearly. or my points
have been misunderstood, both by the
Journal. and The Herald. and NJ. T.
Il. Cobb. whoever the latter gentleman
may really he. land | might say that
thoroughly enjoy reading the
articles that appear over his name.

Flrst-It has been assumed that I
intended to state that too much work
IL being done In charitable. philan-
thropic. and patriotic enterprises.
Such IN not the case. I agree that too
much work along these lines cannot
be done. hut I don't think the Cham
her Of Commerce IL the body 10 do Il.
Second-it has been assumed that
I object TO health seekers. or that In
any opinion, they are not welcome In
Albuqeerque-nothinc OF the kind. l
believe our citizens should welcome
every health seeker 10 Albuquerque
TO give him the benefits OF u ell
mate and the other blessings we
possess. but I don't think the Cham
Der OF Commerce should spend its
time ami energies inducing health
seekers 10 come here. There In a
time and place for everything, and
other organizations ran very properly
perform that function.
The town should AZ I said. be built
up by red-blocded. two-lunged citi-
gems. and they should welcome all
health seekers or other unfortunatea.
who want to come and share with ua
the benefits our beautiful city offers,
Ncithe. myself or any member OF my
family are or evcr have been. health
seekers. but we are and expect "a

PARENT
OF DEAD SOLDIER
SUES War, RISK
Denied Insurance by Bu-
reau, He Asks Court
To Order Award.

Unless the soldiers and sailors
killed in the war took the trouble
to name their foster
parents and benehciaries to collect
compensation and allotments after
their death from the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, these foster par
ents cannot lawfully collect, accord
ing to Director r. G. Cholmeiey-
Jones, of the War Risk, in docu-
ment filed yesterday in the District
Supreme Court.
The director is contesting a man
damus proceeding instituted by John
F. Norris, fOster-father of William
Ricketts,, who was killed in France
on October ., 1918. Norris claimed
that because he stood in place of the
soldiers actual and natural father
he was entitled to a compensation
of SIS a month for the death Of his
foster-son.
The director admits that Norris
was notified that he was awarded
this compensation but denies this
award was made because OF Norris
being Ricketts, natural father, but,
as his dependent foster-father.
At the time Ricketts, applied for
insurance, the director points out,
foster-parents were not included in
the class of persons designated in
the act Of Congress creating the
War Risk Bureau, as persons whom
the insured might name as benefi-
ciaries. Ricketts, made his insur-
ance payable not to his estate, il is
claimed, but to himself, and there
fore, it is asserted, the insurance
is not payable to the estate, but to
some person in the permitted class
OF beneficiaries, as would. under the
laws of the State of the residence of
the insured be entitled to his per
sOnal property in case of intestacy.
Norris claimed that Ricketts, left no
relative which would come within
