YOUR BONUS
Questions That Bother You
Will Be Answered i'm

Address3 Room ~, News De.
partment. The Evening Star.
Washing ton, ID. {.

Q. l am writing in the behalf Of
lady, who enlisted in the Navy as
a yoemannette under an assumed
name. When she enlisted she ad-
vanced the date of her birth ten
years. Now she is in a quandary as
to what steps to take to secure the
bonus to which she is entitled.
Please tell me what she should do
under these circumstances?-E j.
A. Your friend is in the same pre-
dicament that thousands of others are
in. She will have no difficulties, as
the Government intends to recognize
and fairly adjudicate all similar
claims. All persons who served. un-
der assumed names should use them
in their applications for the bonusE
Under the item remarks" in the ap-
plication blank, put the correct name
and state that you desire the ad-
justed service certificate to which
you are entitled made out with your
correct name. BE sure to give your
correct age. and state your reasons
for using an incorrect age. If you
give an incorrect age of birth, or one
that does. not correspond with the
departments records, your applica-
ton will be returned. causing delay
and unnecessary and needless work
@. During the war my husband
of major. In 1920. while still in the
service, he was killed in a powder
explosion. During all his service, he
received Communication of heat, light
and quarters. 1 understand that
will not be entitled to the bonus on
that account. Have 1 been correctly
informed?-Mrs. Q.
A. You are probably entitled to
the. bonus credit that your husbands
IA
therefore file an application. AS your
husbands duties were Of dangerous
character we believe the War De-
nartment will rule that receipt of
pay for heat, light and quarters will
not bar you from the benefits. There
Is a clause in the law which covers
the service Of men who received these
benefits. but who were at the same
time subjected to unusual condi-
tions. Under the heading remarks"
on your application explain the cir
cumstances under which your hus-
bands service was rendered.
@. My son died sometime after
discharge from the Army. I have no
papers Of any kind to tell when he
went into the service and when he
was discharged. He died in a Gov
ernment hospital away from home.
What can I do, or where can I go to
get information about his service 80
that I can fill in an application for
the benefits Of the bonus?-F.
A. Try to find some old letters or
records Of his service. Perhaps some
other member Of your family can
help you recall the dates Of service
which you need to properly file your
application. Failing in that we
would suggest that you go to some
Veterans Bureau office and secure
the data you need. As your son died
In a hospital you ought to be able to
locate there some record of his serv-
ice. It will be better to attempt to
secure the information you need in
this manner, because the War Depart
ment is swamped with cases like
yours and it is almost impossible at
this time to give them the individual
and personal attention to which they
are entitled.

White Fang became a fiend. He was
kept chained in a pen at the rear
of the fort, and here Beauty Smith
teased and irritated and drove him
wild with petty torments. The man
early discovered White Fang's sus-
ceptibility to laughter and made 1t a
point, after painfully tricking him,
to laugh at him. This laughter was
uproarious and scornful, and at the
same time the god pointed his finger
derisixely at White Fang. At such
times reason fed from White Fang,
and in his transports of rage he was
even more mad than Beauty Smith
Formerly White Fang had been
merely the enemy of his kind, withal
a ferocious enemy. He now became
the enemy of all things, and moro
ferociouS than ever. To such an ex-
tent was he tormented that he hated
blindly and without the fainteSt spark
of reason. He hated the chain that
bound him, the men who peered in
at him through the Stats of the pen.
the dogs that accompanied the men
and that snarled Indignantly at hin,
very wood of the pen that confined
him. And first, last, and most of all,
he hated Beauty Smith.
But Beauty Smith had a purpose
in all that he did to White Fang. One
day a number Of men gathered abou.
the pen. Beauty Smith entered, club
in hand. and took the chain from off
White Fang's neck. When his mas
ter had gone out White Fang turned
loose and tore around the pen, trying
to get at the men outside. He was
magnificently terrible. Fully five feet
in length, and standing two and one
half feet at the shoulder he far out
weighed a wolf of corresponding size.
From his mother he had inherited
the heavier proportions of the dog,
so that he weighed, without any fat
and without an ounce of superfluous
flesh. over 80 pounds. 1t was all
muscle, bone and sinew-fghting flesh
in the finest condition.
The door of the pen was being
opened again. White Fang paused.
Something unusual was happening.
He waited. The door was opened
wider. Then a huge dog was thrust
inside and the door was slammed
shut behind him. White Fang had
never seen such a dog Git was a
mastiff); but the size and fierce
aspect of the intruder did not deter
nor iron. upon which to wreak his
hate. He leaped in with fash of
fangs that ripped down the side of
the mastiff's neck. The mastiff shook
his head. growled hoarsely, and
plunged at white Fang. But White
Fang was here. there and everywhere,
always eradtng and cluding and al
ways leaping IN and slashinE with his
fangs and leapinI out again in time
to escape punishment.

Signals Reach South America.

The experimental test of the eff
cacy of voice communication by radio
between continents which was re-
Gently made by kDKA and a news
paper in Buenos Aires proved a de-
cided success, according to numerous
reports received from South American
countries.
The test consisted of three mes
sages, all read in Spanish, on different
evenings, and only three agencies
were cognizant of the contents of
the messages beforehand. This was
the. first. time an inter-continental
radio test designed especially to test
the clarity of broadcast messages
was made. The penetrating qualities
of the new short-wave station of
KDkA, further emphasized by the re-
suits of this test, prove that wonder
full results may be expected from
this station.

Spark Interference Great.

Valuable figures regarding the
problems to be met before radios ills
are entirely cured have been SUBJ
mitted to John " L. Hogan. consult
ing radio engineer and former presi-
dent of the Institute of Radio Engi-
neers, by broadcast listeners in all
sections of the country.
The figures show that the source of
greatest interference with entertain
ment programs is the spark telegraph
signals, which were rated by SO per
cent of those who communicated with
Mr.. Hogan. Whistles came second,
with 31.4 per cent, and cross-t talk lin
reference from other broadcasting
stations) 29.6 per cent
When the first changes in wave
lengths were made cross-talk was
perhaps the most serious difficulty.
but improvements in the design of
sets and increased experience on the
part of those operating them has re-
duced this trouble materially.

WGY Has Three Stations.

Few radio fans are aware that the
same radio program may frequently
be heard from Schnectady from three
different stations operating on three
different wave lengths and three diff
ferent licenses. The familiar station
is WGY, which operates one develop
ment class license on $50 meters
Then there is the short-wave station
2AI. which goes on the air with 107-
m meter waves, broadcasting the same
programs that are put. on the air
from WGY.' The third station, ia
miliar only within radius of so
miles of Schenectady, is 2XAZ, oper-
ating on 100 meters.
Like, XXI. 2XAZ is an experimental
license. The former station is Ii
censed to use any power up. to 10
kilowatts, and has used that power
successfully in long distance trans
mission on short-wave lengths The
latter station is of the portable type,
using ESQ watts. The portable sta
tion, which is carried on a truck, is
used to pick up programs outside of
those given in the studio.
The purpose of the portable set is
to eliminate wire connection, the US
ual practice in remote control broad
casting. In other words, there is no
link in place of a wire link.

Because at one time or another
radio fans have received stations 1900
miles away they think that this is

If asked what the range is they will
give the mileage. This is the wrong
way to estimate the range of a set.

PWX and WKAQ Divide Honor.,

Radio broadcasting honors in the

of the Cuban Telephone Company and
its twin station WKAQ of the Porto
Rico Telephone Company at San Juan.
Since beginning operation in 1922.
WkAQ has been heard throughout
the United States and Canada as well
as in most parts of Central and South
America and Europe. 1t has an an
tenna output of 500 watts and sends
on a wave band of $50 meters. The
programs consist principally of ma
tive and Spanish music and short
discourses regarding the resources
and attractions of the island.
WkAQ's favorable geographical
location has assisted it in developing
a widespread audience in three con-
tinents. Tuning in WkAQ is one of

successful one.

he deemed it improper for him to re-
tain both Offices, and that his duties
