March 23d by a vote of 333 to 10 and
now awaiting action by the senate are
given below. In it's present form, the
bill differs in details. from the hVe-
fold plan of compensation drawn up by
the American Legion. The principal
changes arc the elimination OF outright
cash payments to men whose period OF
service, would, under the oiu Dill, nave
entitled them to a sum in excess OF 500

tain cash loans after October l, 1879.

1. Adjusted service, ply, at the rate
of 81 day for home service ana Sl.29
day for foreign service. Cash pay
mcnts under the option would be made
only to men entitled to not more than

service pay, however, would be COM
putcd to determine his adjusted service
credit, the basic amount he Is entitled

face value Of the certificate would be
S.N15 times the adjusted service credit
Of the veteran. The face value would
be payable in twenty. years, or, II the
veteran dies before the expiration OF
that time, the face value would be paid
to the beneficiary of the policy. After
October 1, 1929, and. before October l,
1925, the veteran might obtain from
any Incorporated national bank or trust
company an INTEREST," Bearing loan upon
his adjusted serviGe certificate, the
amount not to exceed so per cent of
the value of the certificate at the time
the loan is made, EValue of the cer-
tihcate at any particular time is de-
tcrmined from the Aum of adjusted SER
vice pay increased byS25 per cent plus
interest compounded annually at 1-2
cent to date). After October l, 1925,
loans would be obtainable on the GER
tncate directly from postmasters of
the first, second and third classes.
3. Vocational training aid of S1.75

IN the vegetable kingdom, as in hu-

representatives of distinguished fam-

Snssafras is one of these, for it Is
closely related TO the classic laurel,
with the leaves of which poets and he
rccs used to be crowned, and Is, a near
kinsnlan of the nutmeg tree, the cam
phor tree, the red bay tree, the ever
green leaves of which flourish proven
