diers' bonus are being received daily

number filed any day this month was
fifty, indicating most of the CLAIMS
are on file. The bonus department IL
now up to date on its preliminary OK
animation of claims. About 900
veterans of the regular army, navy
or marine corps, will have to wait for
legislative action before their claims
can be paid. All others yet unpaid
have been delayed principally by er-
rors in the original applications. BY
the end of November practically all
of the work of correcting errors will
be completed.
State Treasurer c. l.. Babcock, who
procured the consent of Washington
banks to cash the additional bonus
warrants at par, has issued letter
thanking the bankers for their unani-
nous agreement which verified Mr..
BabcOck's statement last month that
all bonus claims would be paid with
out discount. The plan now adopted
of selling the bonus fund bonds to the
general fund enables cash payment in
full, avoids an interest charge and re-
lieves the banks of the load of cac"y-

urday afternoon of this week the
Craik players will present in the
auditorium of Jacobs hall, l7lo
Dodge street, Hubert. Henry Davies
successful comedy "The Mollusc." ("
The theme of inertia of character
is most delicatcly handled in this

with Mrs. Baxter, who, like mol

rock, inert, between tides, luxuriates
in active selfishness and passive liv-
ing, doing nothing and having every
thing done for her. Into this house
hold comes Tom Kemp, brother of
"the Mollusc' He strives to cure
Mrs. Baxter OF her molluscry and
succeeds in doing so only after
many humorous conflicts with his
sister and after affording the audi
ence numerous mirth-provoking lines
and an abundance Of sparkling COM

Mr.. Mark Levings will be seen as
Tom Kemp, with Miss Elizabeth
Erazim in the title role, Mrs. Nora

Problems That Perplex

BEATRICE FAIRFAX


Dear Miss Fairfax: In answer to
the writer of 1.-The Girl Men Like"
please accept the viewpoint Of maid
barely 81 who, until recently, was in
the same predicament as the writer.
Man is less ideal than woman: and
we must accept him as he Is, even
though the truth sometimes hurts.
He chooses his lady friends because
they are pleasing to the eye, enter
tanning and amusing. Brains and
intelligence are neither pleasing to
the eye nor always amusing. I'm
fortunately man is more easily
swayed by physical attraction than
by mental attraction.
Therefore, no man Is going to
notice a girl until a well-dressed
form, a pretty coiffure, a sparkling
eve. a gracious smile or pleasa mt
word attract him. After a little in
itiative and good appearance have
attracted the male victim, girl may
be her own true self and display her
intelligence.
: A girl should also make an effort
to be a good mixer; that is, be very
friendly and sociable to every young
man she is introduced to, even
though he doesn't make q striking
impression. Our ideals are not to
be found everywhere. Only through
mixing with many people can we ex-
pect to find "the' one. 1t is often
a discouraging battle for the girl
who tries intelligence versus beauty
and coquettishness. She should try
the latter two as a mere beginning
means with the first quality as he
goal. '''t' '..'.,e ...',' ..''.-,.'' r, :.
