LODGE HONORS MEMBERS.
Anacostia Masons Pay Tribute to
Roberts and Bube.

Taking advantage of the fact that
the occasion was the annual grand
visitation, Anacostia Lodge No. 81,
last evening took advantage of an
unprecedented situation-that two of
it's mbers, the same year, are the
heads of Blue Lodge Masonry and
Royal Arch Masonry, respectively.
The lodge paid tribute and honor to
Masons of the District of Columbia
and to Simon Bube, grand high priest
of Royal Arch Masons.
Walter L. Fowler, master of Ana
costa Lodge, welcomed the grand
master and the officers of the Grand
Lodge, and after the grand master
had made the customary announce
ments he and Grand High Priest
Bube were escorted to the center of
the room. Mr.. Fowler IN an eloquent
address explained the great pride the
lodge felt in the fact that two of its
members had attained to the supreme
heights in two branches of Masonry,
and of the regard and affection en-
tertained for the grand master and
the grand high priest. Each was
then presented with an engrossed
certificate of life membership, and
elaborate floral offerings for their
wives. Supplementary remarks were
made by Past Master Ernest e. Fisher,
secretary. Messrs. Roberts and Bube
made appropriate responses.
The concluding feature of the eve
ming was an illustrated lecture on
Alaska, by C. ]. Blanchard.

BILL FOR VETERANS
PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Carries Codifcation and
Revision of Bureau Laws-Its
Administration Criticized.

Codification and revision of laws
affecting the Veterans Bureau is
called for in a bill passed late yester-
day by the Senate, after charges of
ring control and tyranny" had
been voiced by Senator Oddie, Re-
publican, Nevada, in a vigorous
criticism of the present administra
tion of the bureau.
The bill was amended to extend to
five years after discharge the period
in which tuberculosis, encephalitis
lethargia or neuropSychiatric dis
ease would be presumed to have de-
veloped as a result of war service,
and to require the director of the
bureau to turn all money derived
from the sales of surplus supplies
into the Treasury. Other amendments
would give the director power to au-
claims of veterans, and would per-
NIT tubercular patients to go home
after one year in hospitals and hold
permanent total disability ratings
for three years.
Senator Oddie, whose remarks were
supported by interjections on the
part OF Senator Caraway, Democrat
Arkansas, urged that the six assist
ant directors of the bureau and
every official brought over from the
war risk insurance bureau" be

Last year, to learn about the winds

were found throughout southern New
England, n number being picked up
on both the eastern and southern
coasts. One balloon was found off
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, a drift of
about 400 miles in eighteen hours.
Seven covered distances of 110 to 145
miles. One drifted sixty-five miles at
the rate of 100 miles an hour. One
remained in the air six and quarter
hours and then dropped at the point
of release, evidently. carried back by

Although many interesting facts
were learned, one seasons work was
considered insufficient and the inves-
legations will be continued on a much

Rumors in circulation recently that

to the United States loan Of 1922
are absolutely unfounded in the face
of information received by the legation
tion of Bolivia here in regard to the
economic conditions of that republic
Due to the present high quotations
on Bolivian mineral products and also
the new taxation law recently passed
by the National Congress, the eco
nomic conditions are most reassur-
ing"
Bolivia" Minister james Freyre
declared today, has always strictly
fulfilled in the past and will continue
SO to fulfill her obligations and COM
mitments. For the purpose Of this
loan the Bolivian government has re-
placed most advantageously the mo-
nopoly on alcohols by the new tax
on all brands OF alcohol produced in
the country. She has, moreover,
ordered the retirement of the Morgan
bonds with the object of thus further
ing the services of the 1922 loan and
