Three Myths.

A mans auto had broken down.
When he crawled under it no crowd
collected and attempted to advise him
how to fix 1t.
A miner was entombed for three
days and three nights as the result
Of a cave-in. When he was finally
rescued 1t was found that his hair
had not turned snow white.
A soldier was on guard duty and
was approached by an officer who
asked him to give his general orders.
The sentinel reeled them of, making
many mistakes, and the officer cor.
rected him, thus revealing the fact
that he knew them himself.

McCunber
Bonus Plan
Senator From North Dakota
Launches New Scheme,
Said to BE Less Costly
Than House Bill.
$lOO,OOO,OOO First Year
BY GRAFTON S. WILCOX.
Omaha Zee Leased Wirs.

Washington, April IA. brand
new soldiers bonus bill. said TO be
much less costly than the one passed
by the house. was brought forward
as a basis OF agreement at con-
fercnce behind closed doors between
the senate finance committee and
Representatives OF world war ye,er-
ans organizations today.
The new measure is the handi-
work OF Senator McCumber. North
Dakota, chairman OF the committee.
Other members OF the committee
look upon il with friendly eyes. They
have high hopes that it will furnish
the long-sought bridge TO span the
gap between congress and the ad-
ministration over the bonus issue.
The feature OF the new measure
which has won favor particularly
with members OF the finance com.
mittcc is the fact that il would re-
quire an estimated outlay OF about
Sl00,W0,OOO next year. compared
with the Treasury departments es-
innate that the house bill would cos.
about S3O0.0O0.0O0 next year.
Would Spread Cost.
The McCumbcr plan would spread
the cost lightly over a long period
OF years and considerably reduce the
strain upon the treasury. The de-
tails have not been disclosed.
Hanford MacNider, national COM
mandcr OF the American Legion. and
Robert G.. Woodside. commander-in-
chief of the Veterans OF Foreign
Wars, were present at today's con-
ference. They told the committee
at the outset that they favored the
house bill.
Senator Watson. Indiana, who con-
ferred with President Harding about
the bonus last week, told them point
blank that it would be futile to con-
slider the house bill. as the president
certainly would veto it. At this juno
ture the McCumbcr substitute was
laid before them. They were ask
ed to consider it carefully and to
report their views to the committee
tomorrow.
Disabled Men Ask Aid.
The American Legion knows that
congress believes this adjustment OF
compensation is a just and valid OBJ
legation" MacNider said "The So
called opponents OF this legislation al
ways endeavored TO have it appear
that disabled men are not in favor OF
adjusted compensation.
For the consideration OF this
committee / desire to insert at this
time in the record. petitions from Is

disabled men, one of which alone has
