NO FOES ATTEND
BONUS HEARING
Cash, Not Memorial, Is Plea
of Advocates.

That they were in favor of a straight
cash bonus for ex-soldiers in preference,
to the erection Of a memorial was the
consensus of opinion expressed by ap-
proximately 200 ex- service men who at
tended a public hearing last night on the
Newman bill, which provides State
bonus of $40 for each month Of service.
No estimates were given by supporters
Of the bill as to the probable cost, but
those who have figured out the proposi-
ton say it would entail an expenditure
Of approximately $20,0000O0.
Representatives of the World War Vet
Grams Association, American War Moth
ers and disabled veterans, as well as
Representatives in the Legislature, spoke
for the measure. There were no speak
ers in opposition.
Only three members Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, before which the
hearing was held, were present. They
were Representatives Otto G. Fifeld,
chairman; John w. Winesburg, Wabash
County. and Henry. L. Humrichouser,
Marshall County.
Almost every speaker took occasion tos
| score the Bowers German language bills
which is now ready for third reading and
passage in the Senate.
Representative Omer q. Newman,
Marion County, author Of the bonus bill,
outlined its provisions, stating it was
| designed for those who would prefer the
cash bonus, with other provisions for
| those who preferred the educational plan.
DR.. Charles II. Bidaman, member Of
| the 1919 Assembly and father Of bonus
| bills In that and the special session of
1920, which were defeated. spoke in favor
of the new measure.

 The models have been shipped to the New York Yacht Club for safe keeping and exhibition. They were nine feet long, the masts stood Is feet high. In length they are approx imately one-tenth the size of the Res olute The models cost $3,0Ot each. They weighed between 200 and 300 pounds each.
 The yachts were made to repre- sent opposing ideas in sloop archi- lecture and were changed from time to time to try out new possibilities of sail plan and boat balance,
 The models were so keenly drawn that they sped on reaches fast enough to require use of a motor boat by those conducting the tests.
 Actual operation was simulated to a degree that made it seem human hands were at the wheels of the yachts Instead, a mechanism con trolled by clock adjustment worked out the movements oC tack and jibe- swinging ruddi\ and shifting sail.
