NOR years it has been the Gus
tom when calling on young
lady to take her box Of
candy or bunch of flowers, but
we never stop to think that maybe
she'd rather have loaf Of bread
or a dozen eggs.
a can Of sariines aren't as bean
tiful as . boquet Of roses. but
they're more substantial.
No dame can appreciate & bunch
Of flowers If she's starving to
death.
You can buy her pot roast and
have the butcher wrap it up IN tis-
sue paper SO that 1t win look Hike
lilies Of the valley.

SAYS BONUS BILL WILL
 BE BEATEN IN CONGRESS
Capt. Durham Calls Legion Statements Organization Will
 Fight Proposed Measure

New York. Oct. 4.-Capt, Knowlton Durham, president of the Ex-Sersice Mems Anti-Bonus League. with head quarters at l9 West Forty-fourth street, issued statement yesterday predicting the defeat of the soldiers bonus which will come up for passage at the next session of congress. He said that statements of American Legion members in Washington that the bill would pass were misleading and inaccurate.
 Tn presenting our statement to the public" said Capt Durham, ''as to why we oppose a bonus for able bodied veterans of the world war the two things we wish first to impress on the public mind are that only d minority-and mighty small one at that-of the membership of the American Legion are in favor of q bonus for able bodied eX-service men. notwithstanding what their leaders claim to the contrary. and secondly, that this league stands first, last and all the time in favor of the most gen. erous care and compensation for every disabled world war veteran. We will do everything in our power to prevent the passage of the bonus bill"
