IN BACK
PAY NOW IN SIGHT

Payment of millions of dollars in
back compensation to disabled World
war veterans depends upon the out
come of controversy between the ma
tional rehabilitation committee of the
American Legion and the United
States veterans bureau.
Gen. Frank L. Hines, director of the
veterans bureau, has issued prelimi-
nary instructions to field offices that
payment of retroactive condensation
to those persons whose cases have
been presumptively connected with
service under section 200 of the World
war veterans act of 1924, may not be
made for any period before the date
Of the approval Of the act on June z,
1924. Watson B. Miller, chairman of
the Legion committee, has taken issue
with this view.
Mr.. Miller declares that there is In
the phrasing of the law a definite
suggestion Of retroactivity in that the
1me man acquired his disability is
placed back within period now some
years remote"
No claims which have been con-
nected with service by historical facts,
wherein under the provisions Of Sec
ton 90 Of the act compensation may
be paid retroactively for one year
prior to the filing of the claim, the
amount depending upon the physical
condition of the claimant during that
period, are affected by the bureaus
preliminary ruling, it was pointed out.
The Legion purposes, it was learned,
to place upon the same status those
claims which have now been con-
nected with service through the OPP
GRAFTON Of the "presumptive" clause OF
the new act.
The Importance of the ruling can
easily be recognized when 1t is stated
that during the first month of opera
ton under the presumptive provision
$500 tuberculous, $500 neuropsychi-
atric and $50 amoebic dysentery
cases, making total Of $500 claims,
were connected with service and
placed upon a compensate basis.
These cases alone at the hospital
rate, it was declared, involve a half
million dollars in compensation each
month.
If the Legion wins its point the
benefits to the men involved would be
enormous. The fact that the bureau
has not yet issued a permanent regu-
lation covering this point, although
more than two months have passed
since the passage of the act, is taken
to indicate the possibility of favor
able decision.

Embarrassing

Faira, hustling housekeeper, who
finds time on Saturday nights to &C.
company her husband to the dances
at local club, does not entrust her
tresses to the scorching iron of the
hairdresser, but puts up her own hair
in kids, and the result is lovely. One
Saturday, late in the afternoon she
found it necessary to go into town al
moments notice, and as she knew
her hair would be utterly ruined fol
the dance if she took it down, she
pulled a little back hair to the fore
and put her hat on over her kids
Hatpins, usually unnecessary, were
unthought of, and when she turned
the corner at Meridian and Washing
ton streets and a sudden gust OF
strong wind sent her hat into the gut
ter she experienced, confessedly, the
most embarrassing five minutes of her
life !-Exchange.

Expressing appreciation of the

assigning detail Of service men for
the assistance and accommodation Of
the visiting Elks in convention at Bos-
ton recently, the New York Elks sent
a letter to General Edwards, comman-
der of the Massachusetts Legion, as
follows:
81 am sure you will be pleased to
learn that the men conducted them
selves admirably and made a very
pretty showing in the parade. We re-
ceived all along the line of march APP
plause, and feel that much of this
was due to the fact that we had these
men at the head of our line. The
young men whom you sent were in
deed fine examples of sturdy soldiery
and American ruggedness. Signed,

ScGlperS viii Lose Out
in Endeduor to Profit

After the passage of the adjusted
compensation bill recently, came ru-
mors that "scalpers" were attempt
ing to buy up for cash at large dis
counts the adjusted compensation GER
tificates Of World war veterans. Such
purchases" by scalpers will be met
by drastic action on the part Of the
veterans bureau, and will result in
the scalper finding himself with only
"a scrap Of paper" was the declara-
ton of Gen. Frank Hines, director Of
the veterans bureau, to representa-
tiveS Of the American Legion.
Attention of the veterans bureau
was called to an advertisement in
which a veteran offered to sell his
certificate ito the highest cash bid
der" Bureau officials were also adj
vised of reports that a huge financial
pool is being organized for the pur-
pose Of buying up compensation GER
tificates in the hope of large profits
at the expense of the veteran and of
the government.
In reply to the above reports, the
following telegram was sent by Gen
eral Hines: mo certificate issued
or right conferred under the World
war compensation act shall be ne
gotiable or assignable; neither will
such certificate or any right conferred
serve as security for any loan except
as provided in section 502 of the act,
which provides for loans from banks
under certain conditions. Any other
negotiations or assignments are void"

Must Not Delay Filing
Compensation Claims

Advice from the national headQuar-
tiers of the American Legion at In
dianapolis, urges all ex-service men
not to delay in the filing of their adj
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 will be
paid benehciaries if the veteran dies
before filing his claim, whereas, If the
claim has been filed, benefciaries 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 filing Of applications.

DeiectiUe of Fiction
Seldom Seen in Life

A popular impression prevails that n
detective is a tall. spare man, with
eyes which, if they do not bore into
the very soul of a criminal. always
have dreamy, far-away look.
1t may be shame to shatter this
Illusion, but the fact IS that a detec-
tive is the most ordinary looking Of
mOrtalS.
He is of no particular type; you
meet his counterpart a dozen times in
a short walk in any city. Generally
the more successful he is the more
commonplace he looks-that is one Of
the secrets of his success. No one
takes him for what he is.
The writer has known all kinds Of
detectives fat and thin, jolly and
mOrose, bearded and clean-shaven, sal
low and rubicund, greybeards and
striplings, men of education and court
ly manner and men with little or no
learning-but very wise in knowledge
of the ways of men.
That reminds the writer of another
fallacy which has been foisted on
the public. The detective hero of the
story-teller is always a man with mar
velous powers of intuition and deduc-
ton who. with little or no effort, can
point the finger at the guilty party.
In fiction, when the creator of all
the puppets of the story knows who
commits the crime and how it is done
before even the first word is writ
ten, this is quite possible, but in fact
it is a very different proposition.
When the services of a genuine de-
tective are required it is because
things have to be found out. Ask the
detective how he does it, and he will
say: "By sound common-sense, pains
taking inquiry, and deductions there
from based on experience of humanity
in general and criminals in particular
with the aid of the organization Of
the police forces of the country and a
fair share of luck"
1t is only solid, hard work that will
get prisoner into the dock, and then
only incontroversible facts offered in
irrefutable evidence will secure his
conviction.
The judge and jury do not want to
know what the detective thinks, but
what he knows and can prove to the
utmost of the rigorous requirements
of the law.

Soldier PeddIer LotU
Is Regarded as Unfoi1

The so-called soldier peddlers' law"
In effect in the state of Minnesota
should be repealed, according to a res
olution passed by the state legislative
committee of the American Legion of
Minnesota. The law enables former
service men to peddle without a
license. The Legion points out that
under the law many outsiders have
come into the state at various times
and competed with local merchants
who are paying taxes and who are de-
serving of the patronage of the con
sumner. The Legion legislative body
also suggested that law prohibiting
aliens from teaching In the grade
schools be passed.
