TRIBUTES
FROM THE
White HOUSE
White House,
WashingtOn:

ut Is a pleasure, which indeed
count q duty as well, to testify
my very high opinion and regard
for Colonel Young. A graduate
of the West Point Academy, he
spent his life I'm the army, serv-
ing with real distinction. My
recollection is that although he
had been retired some time be-
fore the United States entered
the world war, he promptly ten
dered his services and was great
ly distressed because they were
declined because of his age and
physical condition. Col. Young
was credit to the service and q
distinguished honor to the race
from which he came; a race that
i'm the world war carried its full
part and acquitted itself with ut
most credit. It is highly fit
ting that you and your associ-
ates should pay him a tribute Of
respect, and affection.
Very Sincerely,
(Signed) WARREN HARDING"

ease. She pointed out the necessity
of removing clothing that has been
worn in sick rooms containing con.
tagious disease cases. The common
practice Of picking up handkerchief
from the streets was declared to lead
to infection because finders often
failed to launder them carefully.

the best steps Sunday school could
take to advance the cause of Chris
tianity. Mr.. Wills said, in part, "the
young people here tonight are max
ing history that is worthy of COM

with such strong determination to
organize"

The Fallacy of the Bonus

At present the plea for a bonus. or
gift, or dole is being camouhaged under
the softened term OF adjusted COM
pensation." The ingenious argumen,
for it runs like this: Five million young
men, at the outset OF promising ca -
reers, were suddenly seized BY the gov
eminent for the defense Of the country
and were kept for two years in uni
form at $50 a month, when they would
otherwise have been earning more than
this amount and would also have been
gaining two years momentum toward
their careers. At the same time, so
the argument runs. millions Of olde-
men beyond draft age, and millions of
young men who were either slackeTs
or physically disqualified, enjoyed the
high wages Of the war period and oc-
cupied the jobs left by the men who
went into uniform. Therefore. the
men in uniform should now have the
lost earnings Of those two years equa-
lized TO them in the form Of adjusted
compensation" in cash or in equiva-
lent advantages.
The argument is obviously fallacious
as a generalization. There is no as
surance that the great majority Of the
