LOANS TO VETERANS
TOTAL SAG, 100000
Director Hines Reports Borrowings
on Adjusted Compensation Ger
tifcates Reach High Figure.

Veterans still are borrowing on their
adjusted compensation certificates, at
a steady rate, it was disclosed by Di-
rector Frank T. Hines Of the Veter-
ans Bureau, based on the latest fig
ures compiled in his office.
Banks of the country have made
more than 4S7 900 loans amounting to
nearly $46,000,000 since January l."
Gen. Hines said, while the bureau.
which commenced making loans on
April 1, has made over 225,000 loans
totaling nearly $21 100000.
Shortly after July 1 banks began
sending in unredeemed notes for re-
demption by the bureau, as provided
by law, and to date the bureau has
paid 51,63S such notes, aggregating
$5,157,577.
"In addition to the original loans re.
ported by the banks, the bureau has
received records of 1926 renewals of
notes by banks, amounting to $395,712.
However, the director explained that
all banks do not report these renewals
as such, merely recording them as
new loans. so 1t Is not possible to de-
termine accurately just how many
notes have been renewed by the
banks.
Veterans who have not as yet ap-
piled for their adjusted compensation
(bonus) have until January l, 1923, to
do so. but the certificates have no
loan value until two years from date
of issue, the loan value increasing
with each subsequent year."

DUBYIN, August 3O.-Inouiries al
government and other quarters YES
terday failed to elicit definite in.
formation concerning the rumored
resignation of James J. Walsh, min
ister of posts and telegraphs in the
Free State cabinet, because he was
not consulted as to the Dahl Eireann
dissolution. 1t was learned, how
ever, that he left Cork Friday for
south France in i'll health and will
not participate in the early part of
the campaign for the general cleo
tions, but hopes to be back in Cork
for the last week of the campaign.
Mr.. Walsh's disappearance at this
critical period, coupled with the be-
lief that he did not see eye to eye
with his cabinet colleagues, has
created the impression here that
there may be some truth in the
widely circulated story of his de-
fection.
He is said to have taken the stand
that when the Fianna Fail Deputies
Republican followers of Eamonn de
Valera) decided to take the oath of
allegiance and their seats in the
Dali, this should have been welcomed
by the government as an act of
conciliation. He is very popular in
the constituencies, where he has
much influence on the man in the
street.
In a manifesto last night the
Sim Fein party made it known that
it would not participate in the general
election. owing to it's financial posi-
ton. The manifesto says that mo
true Republican can consistently
vote for any Irishman who will enter
n British Parliament. or give al
legiancr to the British crown"

identical in every detail with that
which killed a pedestrian. J. NJ.
Redfern, Saturday night, furnished
the Webster Grove suburban police
with a knotty riddle, which was
solved only by the confession of one
of the drivers.
Witnesses to the accident said
the death car had lost a front and
rear tire while fleeing, and, that the
tail light was white, and State
license plates were missing. Trail
ing the car, officers found an auto
mobile corresponding in every de.
tail to that OF the death car. It's
owner, Ernest Harris, protested
his innocence.
Several hours later police found
q similar car in the yard Of Edgar
Hudson. He confessed after ques-
tioning. Both automobiles had lost
a front and rear tire, both lacked
State license plates, each had white
tail lights and both were of the
same inexpensive make. Both Hud-
son and Ernest had driven a sub.
stantially similar route Saturday

BOSTON, August 30.-A white mon.

arrests Of its master and two other
men, was held by police today as a
material witness against the three, in
connection with an epidemic Of fires
here and in Cambridge Sunday.
Alton J. Sleeves: q Somerville
chauffeur, one Of the trio. In a state
ment to Cambridge police, blamed his
! troubles on James Downey. jr., 26, a
= local truckman and the nephew Of a
former division fire chief, and son Of
q retired fireman.
Loves to Watch Fires.
Downey loved to watch fires and
see the engines CO." declared Sleeves.
Robert w. Greatorex, 81, a boiler
maker, was the third man under ar
rest and. with Sleeves, was neld in
$4,000 bond, whole Downey's bond
was set at $4,000.
The fires included four in fire engine
houses, set while apparatus was busy
responding TO other incendiary blazes.
The arrests were brought about by a
woman who lives near one OF the
burned buildings, who reported the
number of an automobile in which a
man and a small white dog disappear
ed after running behind the building
lust before the fire was discovered.
When officers traced the machine

nv the dog, and although the woman
was unable to pick Downey from a
lineup second woman, who lives
near another of the burned buildings,
reported men, car and dog and de-
scribed the animal perfectly.
The fires originally had been at
tributed by Cambridge police to SYM
pathizers of Sacco and VanZetti, but
this theory was later discarded when
suspicion turned to Downey and his
companions.
The men, when arrested, described
themselves as sparks" and declared
their presence at the biazes was mere
lv because of their interest in fires.
Later Sleeves broke down, admitting
completely and duplicating the other

The Increase in longevity, however.
is not to be attributed to the increase
in pressure required in performance,
but, rather. to the fact that IL takes
vigorous person in the first place
to play trumpet or clarinet well
enough to break into the Hall OF
Fame.
The average length Of life a cen.
tury ago was only 80 years. DR..
Rogers said, as compared with about
56 years today. Therefore all the
musicians. whether they blew, scraped
or pounded keys, lived to a compara-
lively ripe old age. for their average
length of life was greater than that
OF the rest of the population.
The average person in the United
States. in other than the musical pro-
fessions. loses from 4 to days
a year from his work on account Of
Illness. While there are no statistics
on general groups OF musicians, II
members Of the wind section Of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra were alb
sent on an average but times each
in a total of 10 seasons. This is
an absence Of but four-tenths of a
day per man. DIR. Rogers pointed out.
and therefore these musicians seem
10 times as healthy as the average
OF men. IL this little group is rep
resentative. then orchestral performs.
ers OF this class are a healthy lot.
While DR.. Rogers found no sta
tistics for singers, he believes that
these would fall in a class with the
wind instrument players. as singing
has been recommended as most
healthful exercise and the professional
cannot, like an athlete, train for the
season and then fall from grace in
between times.
