PRESIDENT WILL
VETO THE BONUS
UnaIterably AppOsed To
Legislation That Does Not
Provide for Funds
Senate Has Sufficient Votes TO Sus-
tain Veto-Harding Feels Ad
ditional Taxes Unjust

Washington, Aug. 2G.-President
Hardin gwill veto the bonus bill If 1t
is sent to him in its present shape.
He is unalterably opposed to any ho-
nus legislation that does not carry with
it provision for meeting the $4,000
100000 expenditure that will be nee
essary to carry it into effect,
The Gazette correspondent is able
to make this statement upon unques-
tined authority. The Chief Execu-
tive is unwilling that the taxpayers
of the country shall be subjected to
any additional burdens at this time
and although he is willing that
the sick and disabled veterans
shall be given the most careful aten-
tion both from a medical and financial
standpoint, he does not feel that the
people generally would approve of any
bonus legislation that meant addi-
tional expenditures to be paid by them.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-08-26

A poll of the Senate. carefully
checked and rechecked. shows that the
soldier bonus bill will be defeated
with the exercise of the Presidential
veto. Sixty-two Senators are counted
for the bonus according to te::e best cal
culations that can be made at this
time. Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania,
himself an ex-Service man, is the lat
est one to come out against the bonus.
Therefore, with the Presidential veto
there will be an insufficient number OF
votes bq one to pas sit over his veto
since such action requires a tw0thirds
majority. But in addition TO the thir-
tv-three Senators counted against the
bill. three of the siXty-two counted as
for the bill will vote to sustain the
Presidents veto, thus giving total
of thirty-siX Senators voting to sus-
tain the veto. or three more than nee
sarv to uphold it. The three are Sem

THE RADIO COMPASS AND MAP
SHOWING HOW RADIO SIGNALS

Radio has taken the fear out Of

Before the days of wireless, ships

fog had to slow down practically to

with wireless apparatus installed. op-
orators used the ether freely trying
to ascertain their ships bearings from
other vessels and coast wireless sta
tions.
Now, all danger and trouble are
avoided by an automatic method OF
signaling instituted along both coasts
the United States Lighthouse Serv
ice. These signals come from estab-
lished radio compass stations, whose
positions are known to all naviga-
tors. Other countries have established
similar stations along their coasts.
Direction Indicated
To receive these signals the United
States Bureau of Standards has per-
fected a special radio compass for
use on vessels in connection. with
the transmitting sets at the radio
compass stations. This compass has
a loop aerial to catch the signals
from the ether. The strength OF the
signals varies with the position Of
the loop. When the loop is in direct
line with the compass station the
signals come in strangest. They are
weakest when the loop IS at right
angles to the line Of direction be
tween compass station and ship.
Thus, a ships captain can tell his
position in relation to the known
compass station and from this can
learn the course of his vessel by
comparison with the needle OF the
magnetic compass.
But he must also know his dis
lance from the compass station, so
that he may head his ship toward
his destination without fear of run
ming into an obstruction. To ascer-
tain this, the operator turns his radio
compass until he hears the signals
from another station. When these
