WAR INSURANCE,
LAPSED, EASY
To REVIVE
New Ruling of Attorney Gen.
eraI Insures Veterans at
Least 1000 at Death

Modification of requirements for
reinstatement to War Risk Insur
ance privileges of veterans Of the
World War, has been announced by
the United States Veterans Bureau
following a formal opinion by Al
torney General Stone.
This decision is Of vital import.
ance to thousands of disabled vet.
Grams, beneficiaries of the bureau
as to compensation, who allowed
their insurance to lapse through
non.payment Of premiums, +" Director
Frank T. Hines, of the Veterans
Bureau, declared.
Under the provisions of Section
4OS Of the War Risk Insurance act
which governed the operation Il
the bureau up to June Z, 1924, il
was necessary, in order to revive
insurance, that the insured veteran
at the date Of lapse, be entitled ia
sufficient compensation to pay all
premiums then due, and that such
compensation should remain uncol'
lected at the time Of permanent TO-
tai disability, or death-either OF
which would mature Insurance.
and, further, that the insured 81
the time of permanent disability, or
death, be entitled to sufficient un.
collected compensation to pay all
unpaid premiums"
Hines pointed out that section
305 of the world war veterans
act, known as the Reed-Johnson bill
as construed by the general counsel
of the bureau and confirmed by
the Attorney General, "augments
the relief to veterans, broadens the
latitude of the bureau in adjudica
ting cases and most materially
modifies the facts upon which re
vivaI of insurance is contingent"
ITO one familiar with the many
administrative problems relating to
the adjudication of insurance claims
it will readily be seen that no in
surance could be revived under
the old law unless there was suffi
cient unpaid compensation to revive
the whole amount of insurance 81
which any person was entitled, .
Hines explained.
''All that is required under the
new act is that the insured at the
date of lapse be suffering from a
compensatable disability, for which
compensation was not at that tins
collected. and that at the death. OF
permanent disability date, he was
entitled to uncollected compensa
ton.
I'm such cases the fact that the
insured subsequently collected his
compensation, due at date Of lapse
is immaterial, and he is entitled tc
so much of his insurance as his
compensation, unsolicited at date
of death or permanent disability
will purchase if applied as pre-
miums during the whole period OF
lapse.
I'm other words. under the new
law even though the insured may
not have sufficient unsolicited com
pensation to revive all Of his in
surance, he is entitled to so much
Of his insurance as his uncollectA ID
conformation will purchase, tie
minimum amount being $1,000"

CITED FOR CONTEMPT

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-Lady
Grace Mackenzie Jennings, the big
game huntress, has been named in
contempt proceedings brought by
publishers of her Travels in
Jungleland" The action was based
upon a judgment the publishers OBJ
tanned in 1922 for $4,000 to cover
unpaid costs of printing the book.
In view of Mrs. Jennings alb
sence on a honeymoon with Frank
league Jennings, the Atlanta, Ga,
and Columbia, S. c., manufacturer,
whom she married two weeks ago,
Supreme Court Justice Blur gave
her attorneys a week to submit aft
davits explaining why the judgment
should not be satisfied or their
client punished for contempt.
Jacob Monsky. a publisher, is the
plaintiff He complained that he
had received only $500 to apply on
the judgment, and only by a ruse,
in which a process server repre-
eented himself as news reporter
in search of an interview, was that
installment obtained.

HONOR
MEMORY Of
BOY PAL
Alexandria Companies to
March in Funeral as Tribute
of Affection

AS a final tribute of their affec'
Aion for their baby comrade,
George Washington Whalen, six
teen. the members OF the three fire
companies in Alexandria will march
to his funeral clothed in uniform
and wearing the insignias for
which he was valiantly fighting on
the morning of August 2, when he
was fatally injured In a fall into
the hold Of ship, burning at the
Alexandria wharfs.
After suffering gamely for seven
months with a broken back AMI
other injuries, the boy drew his
last breath yesterday, a wan smile
on his face to hide his pain, while
his mother prayed at his bedside.
Bridge Gave Way,
The accident occurred while the
boy was holding a hose on the
the Western Marine and Salvage
Company. The stubborn fire had
gained Roadway on one of the ships,
and although it was known that
the big derricks in their salvage
work had weakened the braces on
which the firemen stood, they
pushed forward to stop the blaze.
The bridge gave way and the
boy was hurled to the hold of the
ship sixty feet below. His back
was broken in two places.
Hope for his recovery was slight
from the t\st and as specialist af-
ter specialist declared that he could
not live all hope died, except in the
boy himself who never knew until
almost the end.
Fund Raised For His Care.
A fund was raised by the city
officials and his comrades to pay all
expenses for his care. Miss Elsie
Davis and Miss Marguerite Davis,
his two nurses, and Doctor M. d.
Delaney, in charge of the case. kept
an untiring, endless vigil with the
boys mother.
Funeral services will begin at the
home of his grandfather, Captain
George w. Davis, 107 Prince street,
Alexandria, at $50 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The funeral procession
will go from there to the st. Mary's
Catholic Church. Reverend LOUIS
Smet, pastor of st. Mary's Church,
will conduct the services. Interment
will be in Bethel Cemetery.
He is survived by his mother;
three brothers, Charles NJ, j. Court
ney, and William Hartford, and one
sister, Anniebell.
