MAY REOPEN BONUS CASE
Result of Minnesota Supreme Court
Decision Likely to Affect "Non-
Residence" Ruling.

Claims of from 10000 to $4,000 vet
Grams who registered and were induct-
ed into the service from Minnesota,
disallowed by the bonus board on a
''nonresidence" ruling, may be re-
opened as a result of the recent de-
cisiOn of the state Supreme court in
the case of Everett Baum.
In it's ruling the Supreme court held
that a person temporarily residing in
Minnesota at the time of the call for
registration who registered and who
thereafter left the state but returned
TO be inducted by the draft board into
the service, is entitled to the state
bonus.
Baum, who was born in Pennsyl-
vania, came to Minneapolis in May,
1917. obtained work and registered for
the draft in June. The following Janu-
ary he went to Oregon and Washing
ton, but returned in July at the call OF
fee and year later was honorably dis
charged.
The bonus board disallowed his
claim on the grounds that he was not
a bona f1de resident Of Minnesota. The
Supreme court ruled that he was a
resident because "the place Of resi-
dence is the place of work"
1t is pointed out by American Le-
giun members that if this is the case,
the 10000 or $1,000 similar applica-
tions involving nearly 100000 from
others, who constituted the states
floating population on registration day,

quently inducted, may also De affected

There was between them an affec.

at one moment call Aristotle the

That the automobile is actually be.

the version OF Capt e. V. Rickenback r
vlce-president and director OF sales Of

Portable, convenient. and a credit to
its owner. Just any old thing won't
do, 1t must be in keeping with his
mode of living"
He cites that the bulk Of enclosed
cars had always been purchased in the
cities until two years ago, but that
the sustained demand for the enclosed
models in the rural communities has
caused the immediate increase in the
construction of closed cars.
The Rickenbacker company origi-
nally planned to build one half of It's
cars enclosed. which at that time. a
year ago, was considered an unusually
high percentage OF the total produc
ton. By the last Of May the percen-
tage of enclosed cnrs had to be in
creased TO sixty to meet the demand,
two months later to seventy percent
and on September first. Rickenhacker
began producing seventy five percent
enclosed cars.
Rickenbacker points out that the
agriculturist has opened up a new
market for enclosed cars. susgeating
that with his mail delivered to his
door. with the telephone. which puts
him in constant touch with the market
