Queen Sophia Greets Nurses
"The Queen permits me to send
her greetings to the American Red

From oId-world Florence, per-

II found her a very charming

PENNILESS WIDOW OF ARIzONAlS
GIVEN $4,000 IN INSURANCE FUNDS


WASHINGTON, d. c., April %
The struggles of penniless
widow. Of Arizona to support her
self and educate her son were
ended recently when the secretary
Of the local Red Cross chapter APP
peared before her like fairy god
mother and presented her with a
$4,000.
Tae piece Of paper was letter
from the United States Veterans
Bureau stating that the war risk
insurance OF her recently deceased
husband, an ex-service man, had
been revived, and that the sum of
s9s841 would be payable to the
administrator Of his estate by the
United States government.
The widow had given up all
hopes Of ever receiving any gov
eminent insurance because her
husband had dropped his insurance
when he was discharged from the
service. But the Red Cross secre-
tarv did not give up so easily.
She went thoroughly into the case,
dug up 4 recent amendment to the
laws governing compensation, and
instituted proceedings which. af-
ter a long interval, resulted in the
widow receiving the award.
Fearing the efforts Of the Red
Cross might be unsuccessful, the
worker did not acquaint the widow
with the efforts being made in her
behalf BY the organization in order
70 avoid any possible disappoint-
ment if they failed. The am
nounceHent of the award came as
eemplete surprise to her, and
was all the more appreciated as it
constituted an unexpected relief
from what was proving to be
burden almost impossible for her
to bear.

After explaining that the Depart

the Department of Justice is holding
