 Terms For Loans
 If the loan were made at any time more than three years after and not more than six years after the date of the certificate the sum could not ex- ceed s5 per cent, of the adjusted serv- ice credit plus interest at AZ per cent, from the date of the certificate to the date of the loan.
 The veteran would repay the loan upon a moritization plan by means of fixed number of annual installments sufficient to cover interest on the un- paid princlpa! at the rate of 4h per cent and such amount of the princi- pal as would extinguish the debt with in an agreed period not exceeding the life of the certificate. If the veteran failed to make any payment when due the secretary of the treasury at any time prior to the maturity of the cer- lificate would cancel the note and re- store the certificate to the veteran up- on receipt of all installments in ar rears. together with interest at AZ per cent compounded annually upon each such instalment from the time when due.
 Land Settlement
 The land settlement aid option of the house bill has been stricken out and the Smith McNary reclamation bill substituted. Under that measure, veterans would be given preference in employment on reclamation projects and in obtaining homesteads on land reclaimed They would be required however to pay for such homesteads without further government aid on the same footing as other homestead CTS Settlement would be open to all veterans of the world war, the Span ish American war and the Philippine instruction and irrespective of whether they had received any con- pensation from the government un- der the bonus bill or other legislation.
 The veterans choice among the op- tons would be made by application at any time after the passage of the bill and would have to be made per sonally by the veteran, except in the case of physical or mental incapacity in which event it would be made by such representative of the veteran and in such manner as the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy might jointly by regulation prescribe.

 The police say both men had been drinking heavily and quarrelled over Miss Angelo Shells. a stenographer The girl, it was said. had left before the drinking bout started
 There was a fight" Dewitt admit ted today, but it seems like dream to tne. l can just recall something about a fight, memory of blows and loud talking-but that it all. I am terrible sorry he is dead, 'Sorappy' was my friend for years and there was no trouble between us"
 Dewitt explains that he went to Syracuse, where he was arrested, aft CT the murder bcause he wanted to see a specialist who was treating him for a blood affection. He insisted he knew nothing of the murder until his wife told him of it yesterday.
 Alltl lIt hllllllSs lpt"lll "tHl lO the grocery shop of Mrs. Grace Begy, which, the police say, is really a blind tiger" Here he slept for half an hour, then returned to the tailor shop, stepping over O'Connors body, and got his sstchel. He went back to the Begy place for supper, which was turned into a sort of celebration, and officers say they can produce wit nesses who declare Dewitt boasted of the fight. Dewitt, it is said, admits all this, but says he cannot remem- Der striking any blow that knocked the tailor down.
 Because of his present mental con- dition, due to heavy drinking, Dewitt will not be arraigned on the murder charge until tomorrow. His attor- neys will then make an effort to have him released on bail.
 Last year Dewitt had a fight with another man in a saloon and severely mauled his opponent.

Effective January i.

AS amended by the senate the sol- diers' bonus bill would become effec- tive January 1, 1923. and would pro- vide three optional plans for veterans of the world war other than those whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50. These would be paid in cash. The options are:
 Three Optional Plans
 Adjusted service certificates pay able in 20 years or sooner at death and containing loan provisions.
 Vocational training aid at the rate of s1.75 a day up to total of 140 per cent. of the adjusted service credit.
 Aid in purchasing a farm or home the total amount to range from 100 per cent. of the adjusted service credit if the money were advanced in 1923. to 14O per cent of the ad- justed service credit if the payment were made in 1928 or thereafter.
 Adjusted Service Pay.
 Adjusted service pay, or adjusted service credit, would be figured on the basis of $1 a day for domestic serv- ice and s125 a day for foreign serv- ice less the s6o paid at discharge. But in no event could the amount of the credit of the veteran who performed no overseas service exceed $500 and the amount of the credit of the vet ran who performed overseas service exceed $625.
 Adjusted service certificates would have a face value equal to the sum of the adjusted service credit of the veteran increased by 25 per cent. plus interest thereon for 20 years at the rate of AZ per cent. a year com pounded annually.
 Loans Are Obtainable
 Until January 1. 1926. any national bank or any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of any state or territory would be authorz- ed to loan to any veteran upon his promissory note secured by his ad- iusted service certificate any amount not in excess of 50 per cent of the to- tai of the adjusted service credit plus interest thereon from the date of the certificate to the date of the loan at the rate of AZ per cent. a year.
 If a veteran died before the matur- ity of the loan the government would pay to the bank the principal and in terest and to the beneficiary named the face value of the certificate less the amount paid to the bank
 After January l, 1926 veterans holding certificates could make direct application through postmasters for government loans.
 If such loan were made at any time not more than three years after the date of the certificate 1t could not exceed 50 per cent of the sum of the adjusted service credit of the veteran,

BONUS ID BE GIVEN
 FINAL VOTE TODAY
Passage Certain, But Harding
 Likely to Veto It

Washington, Aug. 31.-A final vote on the soldiers bonus bill before ad- journment of the senate today ap- peared to be reasonably certain. All pending amendments had been dis posed of and general debate begun before the recess last night.
 AS far as leaders were advised only three or four senators planned to de- liver prepared addresses, but there was likelihood of another general dis cussion such as has featured each of the seven days the bill has been un- der consideration.
 Passage of the measure was regard ed as a foregone conclusion, but whether it would reach the statute books was conceded by friends and foes alike to be another question. They held that this probably would depend upon President Harding, since 1t was regarded as very doubtful that there could be obtained in the senate the necessary two-thirds to pass tle bill over an executive veto.

Mothers and fathers should take
snes!al grecaAticn e keen their ehil7l M !,
dren out of the streets. Every day
there are thousands of little lives
that narrowly escape death from un-
der the wheels of automobiles and
other vechicles, not mentioning the
many deaths caused this way. The
children should be taught to use ev-
cry precaud;on while crossing the
streets. 1t is never to early to in
struct them. As soon as they are
able to walk parents should force
it into their minds that they should
never cross the street while an au-
tomobile is approaching.
One of the best ideas we have ever
known is to teach the child to wait
on the crossing until some one comes
along who they can ask to take them
across. Of course this can not al
ways be done but the child should
learn not to cross while there is a
car in sight. When they are to go
Onto the street teach them to look
both ways and see that no vehicle is
approaching.
The little ones must learn to feal

play on the street. There is un-
doubtedly more little lives endan.
gered by crossing and playing II
the street than any other way, Sc
why isn't it important that the par
ent should do everything in i!
power to train their. children to sta!
off the streets?
Not only the fathers and mother
but to every one is it not importan
to watch this little task. No matte
who it is they should see to it tha
they never pass up an OppOrtunit
to inform the little children to sta
off of the streets. If you shoul
see some little tot playing on tn
street take a minute and explain
him why he or she should not pla
