Speed.

HH ANY things are going fast,
like the taxi-meter; sweet
AsA things were not made TO
last, sweeter ones go fleeter. Ele-
vators seek the top, ninety miles
an hour, when their sudden down
ward flop makes folks shrek and
glover. Autos speed at such a
pace men must practise dodging,
else they'll end the thrilling race
in a six-foot lodging. Where all
nature seems to sleep locomotives
rattle, killing off blue-ribbon
sheep, manning costly cattle. Jazz
is growing faster yet: how were
folks contented when they danced
the minuet? Now, we'd go de-
mented. Speeding, speeding day
and night taxes all our powers;
still, we cannot match the flight
of the flying hours! Times the
greatest speeder yet, any brain
could fansy; winning out on any
bet with his necromancy. Sands
within his hourglass flip-flop to
the bottom; watch the stealthy
moments pass when we think
we've got EN-! Winter scarcely
comes ere Spring decks her ver-
dant bowers, Father Time on
fleeting wing hustles birds and
flowers. Then, since 1t Is all
SO brief from the jonquils' coming
to the time of falling leaf and the
north winds humming, seems
we'd learn to make the most of
our time. improving minutes far
beyond all cost while they're
swiftly moving. Seems we'd
work with pep and vim while we
still are sprightly and old Time,
though cold and grim, has but
touched US lightly.

BURSUMPUTS
IN NEW DRAFT
Of BONUSb|LL
New Mexico Senator Would
Rate Veterans as v. S.
Civilian Employees.
by Universal Service.

A new plan for a soldier bonus was
proposed by Senator Bursum REP
OF New Mexico in a bill introduced in
The Senate last evening.
The proposal this time is to place
the men who fought in the word
war on an equality with the civilian
employees Of the Government. who
received bonus of $24O a year dur
ing the war and are continuing TO
receive 1t up to this time.
The bill also provides for refunds
to the veterans of the amounts de.
Quoted from their pay for war risk
insurance and for allOtments to de-
pendents.
The new measure follows the lines
of the one killed when the Senate
voted to sustain the Presidents veto
in the matter of determining the
amount due the benef!ciaries. Only
those who served in excess OF sixty
days would be eligible. the credit to
BE- computed at the rate OF $50 n
month between April s, 1917, and
July /, 1919.
Applications would have to be
made before July l. 1923, and pay.
ments in cash would be made TO
those having $50 or less due them.
To the remainder one.half OF the
smount due would be paid October l.
1928. and the other half, drawing in.
terest at per cent, on October ].
1925.
The Government certificate could
not be used as security for n loan.
The bill carries no financing sec.
ton, in spite of the fact that Presi-
dent Harding vetoed the previous
legislation chiefly on that ground.
Senator Bursum said he expected
to press the bill when the regular
session begins in December. He es.
Inmates It would cost about $780,
900, 900. About 80 per cent OF the
ex-service men. he said, had SIS a
month deducted from their pay for
a loCments to dependents. and nearly
all the men paid $3.50 on Govern.
ment insurance policies.
BY refundIng the allotment money,
Senator Bursum said, the needy sol.
diers will get more than they would
have received under the old bill,
whereas those who are without de.
pendents would get less.

DISTRIBUTION
Of ANTHRACITE

States and Canada Will Get
60 Per Cent Of Normal

By Universal Service.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 22.-Dls
tr:bu;.o OF all anthracite produced
lth the next year will be regulated
by the Pennsylvania fuel commits
sion. under an agreement effected
here.
All States. including Pennsylvania
and the Dominion OF Canada. will
receive ALLEGATIONS Of anthracie Q un-
der distribution system devised
by the Pennsylvania commission.
Each State and Canada will be
allocated Gu per cent OF the TO nj
amount Of prepared sizes Of an
thracite actually consumed during
1921. Instead OF applying TO the
Federal fuel admin stra ion In
Washington. the various States and
Canada VIII conduct all business
of anthracite distribution through
the Pennsylvania commission. OF
which w. d. B. Ainey. chairma n
Of service commission, Is ihe head.
Following a conference with rep.
resentatves OF the fuel comm .ssions
Of the United States, the Pennsyl.
van!a commission went into confer.
ence with m, mbt rs of the Canad -un
fuel comm ssion.
The Canadian commissioners were
informed that their country would
be put on the same distribution
has as during the war, but that
they would be permitted so per cent
OF their normal consumption.
One rigid regulation laid down to
the Canadian authorities was that
rndar no condition were the Can.
adian coal dealers to enter the
United States market with an offer
to buy anthracite coal at a price
higher than $3.50 at the mines. as
fixed by the Pennsylvania commis'
sion and announced Tuesday by
Governor Sproul.
That regulation. the commission
declared, forestalls any attempt on
the part of the Canadian coal
dealers to disrupt the system OF
distribution and create n shortage
in this country that might become
Serious.
