Must Not Delay Filing
Conversation Claims

Advice from the national headquar-
tiers of the American Legion at In
dianapolis, urges all ex-service men
not to delay in the fllrg of their ad-
justed compensation claims as a
safety first" measure. There is a
provision OF the compensation law,
section COL, whereby only the face
value Of the insurance policy win be
paid beneficlaries II the veteran dies
before Cling his claim, whereas, IL the
claim has been fled, beneficiaries re
ceive the matured value of the policy.
The Legion points out that, inasmuch
as there are two veterans deaths in
the United States every time the
hour hand passes from one hour TO
the next. there is real danger in care
less delay in fling OF applications.

wondered II she had created pretext

creating a situation which had no way

impatiently to Wednesday evening
An hour or two at Zen's fireside pro-
vided the social atmosphere which his
bachelor life lacked, and as Transley
seemed unappreciative Of his domestic
privileges, remaining in town unless
his business brought him out to the
summer home, 1t seemed only just
arrangement that they should be
shared by one who valued them at
their worth.
The Wednesday evening converse
ton developed further the understand
ing that was gradually evolving be
tween them, but 1t afforded no solu-
ton Of the problem which confronted
them. Zen made no secret of the
error she had made in the selection
Of her husband, but had no sugges-

done about 1t. She seemed quite sat
isiied to enjoy Grants conversation

an impossible situation, as the young
man assured himself She dismissed

She seated herself beside him
on a divanette and the JOY of her near

Grant looked into her eyes, now
close and responsive, and found within
their depths something which sent him
to his feet.
"Zen !" he exclaimed. "The mystery
of life is too much for me. Surely
there must be an answer somewhere
