E Boosted

About sixty people have contrib
uted to date to the fund being raised
to operate the Home for the Aged,
one of the most worthy charities in
the city, for the coming year. This
Is only a small number of the esti-
mated 41,000 residents in the city.
AS many of the contributors to the
fund are men, the dir -ctors now de-
sire to obtain some contributions
from women and it is estimated
that the women should at least sub
scribe $500 to the general fund
OF $4,000 which is needed to assure
the continued operation of the insti-
tuition.
An incident in the collection of
funds which is well worth reporting
is that connected with the contribu-
tion of $25 by MAIDS Larsen of 526
Hartford street. -1r. Larsen, who
is over seventy years old. visited the

system by the United States. That sys-

March II is a gala day TO some mil
lions of people of Celtic ancestry in
this country who look back to St Pat
rick as a heroic and winsome repre-
sentative of their race traditions. The
accounts of st. Patrick dwell on his
deep spiritual nature and his power of
human appeal. He came to Ireland
when there We're no Christians there.
When he died there were no heather
there. Such a man must have had a
wonderful gift for influencing people. If
the new Irish Free State can show these
same qualities of winsomeness and
power. it will hold a notable place in
the world.

THE DEAD" BONUS.

A well known business expert writes.
at the end of weekly review of bust
ness conditions, THE bonus bill has
not been mentioned, because it is dead.
Although the house will probably pass
it, arrangements for its interment are
being made in the senate
1t certainly looks that way And il
the senate should pass the bill, the
President might veto it.
Granted then. that the Fordney
bonus bin is really dead, at least fol
the present year. 1t is time for an in
quest. What has killed it?
First and foremost, the widespread
conviction that business conditions
would not stand an additional burden o.
such magnitude at this time-that il
would check the industrial revival. brins
renewed high prices, limitations and tight
cned credit and do more harm even t
the veterans themselves than the bene
fits amounted to.
Second, a, feeling that both parties il
congress have been playing politics Will
the bonus rather than honestly con
cerned for the welfare of the service
men.
Third. a doubt whether the demand:
made by officers of the American Legion
really represented the wishes of the ma
jority of service men.
Fourth, a lurking feeling in many
minds that there is something map
propriate, and almost indecent, in max
ing a rather petty cash payment for {
service man can properly be valued only
