CASH OR INSURANCE
 IS BONUS ARGUMENT
Some Propose Payments in Form Of a Paid-Up Policy
GARNER EXPRESSES VIEWS
Intimates He Thinks so Per Cent of Vets Favor Cash Payments and In- surancc Option-Callcd Debt to Pa- triotiSm,

1 Washington. March 3.--Proposals to make soldier bonus payments in the form Of paid-up insurance led to sev- eral arguments today at the opening Of public hearings by the house ways and means committee on adjusted compensation legislation.
 Representative Andrew, republican, Massachusetts, explained to the com mittee measure he has introduced providing for insurance, with an op- ton on cash payments for those vet erans not entitled to more than $50.
 Bonus .is An Obligation
 The veterans need for cash is not the same now as at the close of the war" he said, and the bonus now takes moro the form of an obligation. The Insurance provision appeals to me as better for the veterans, grant ing them protection against worry for the future.'
 Mir. Andrew estimated the bill would moi cost more than the measure passed last session.
 Representative Fish. republican, New York, presented his bonus scheme Of restricting all payments to a 20-ycar endowment policy. It would allow policies Of si0O for each six months of service above GO days, with n maximum Of s1.600 and would al- low $500 10 beneliciaries of each of the 5000 who died during the war insurance.
 Two Billion Plan
 Such a measure would cost s2,000,- 100000, or about slOO, 900, 900 a year, | Mir. Fish estimated All veterans, in- officers up to the rank of captain in the army and marine corps l and lieutenant in the navy, would be ! eligible.
 Both MT. Andrew and Representa- ! i've Cole. republican,, Iowa, said they . had never heard opposition to bonus 1 Aptessed by an enlisted man,
 Cash or Insurance
 While Mir. Cole said he believed S5 1 'er cent or the veterans would be ltisiied with the insurance provision, Representative Garner, Texas. rank ng dem ocrat on the committee by Iuestioning indicated the belief that 10 per cent desired a bill providing ash payments and insurance option.
 Edward r. McLirady. speaking for he American Federation O. Labor, eported that organization unanimous. ' tn favor Of an option Of cash pay lcnt or insurance. Chairman Green said he regarded uggestions for allowing options Of ash payments or insurance as impos- Iblc of acceptance. If any propor- { on of those eligible for a bonus . lected to take an entire cash pay ( lent, he said, all the revenue the gov l would collect next year a ould be consumed. Representative Mckenzie, republi- { m. Illinois, author of a bill similar that vetoed by President Harding, T sisted the government owed the vet \ ans bonus for economic and pa 6 iotic reasons. f "1f the government must call on a en with dependents to fight it's bat F es," he said. "surcly We ought Co F ke care of them" n

but now he had even more than before
Grandfather Frog seemed a very Won

At the first opportunity Peter went
back to the Smiling Pool to make
Grandfather Frog another call. He
hoped he might learn something more
as interesting as the things he had
already learned When he reached
the Smiling Pool he looked eagerly for
the green coat and white-and- yellow
waistcoat of Grandfather Frog. He
didn't see il anywhere. Peter was dis
appointed. But he knew that Grand
father Frog probably was down in the
mud at the bottom of the Smiling
Pool. and that if he waited long enough
Grandfather Frog would appear. So
he sat down and tried to be patient.
He had been sitting there only
little while when he saw a pair of
