TIME IS SHORT FOR VETS
TO DRAW CONVERSATIONS
Applications Will Not Be Receiv-
ed After January LIST of the
Coming Year.

The time is short for the World War
veteran to get his Adjusted Compen-
sation.
Not only on Memorial Day, but on
every day in the year taps is echoing
throughout the United States and Lee
gion firing squads are rendering final
salutes over new graves. With $780,
900 World War veterans holding adj
justed service certificates (the So
called bonus certifcates) 33,160 pay
ments had been made to beneficiaries
of certificate holders up to the middle
of 1927, and the amount paid had
reached the total of S33 ,890,593.
Certainly these figures prove that
the overwhelming majority of World
War service men appreciated the Ad-
justed Compensation Law sufficiently
DO take advantage of it's provisions.
Mothers and fathers, widows and chill
dren of more than $4,000 men already
have benefited by the thoughfulness
which inspired applications for the
certificates. That fact should be an
urgent reminder to 100000 service
men who so far have not applied for
their adjusted compensation certifi-
Gates, most of them because of ignor-
ance of the conditions under which ap-
plications for the certificates may be
made, or Indifference.
Those who have not applied should
do so now as duty to their Deepen
dents if not to themselves. The time
to do so is short. January 1, 1928, is
the last day on which applications
may be filed.
The man who has not yet applied
should be reminded that the adjusted
compensation certificate is a fully
paid-up endowment insurance policy.
If the holder Of the policy should die
before the end of twenty years his
beneficiary would receive the full sum
in cash which the policy holder himself
would have received had he lived.
In case veteran dies without hav-
ing made an application, his benefici-
aries may apply, but they can receive
only about one-third of the amount
to which they would have been enti-
tied had the veteran himself applied.
Not only is adjusted compensation
the absolute and well-earned right of
every veteran of the World War for
himself, as part of the pay he earn
ed in service, but it becomes a sacred
duty for every man with dependents
to make his application and make it at
the earliest possible moment.
The American Legion post in Oak
land and elsewhere has the forms and
will be glad to fill them out for you if
you will only get in touch with them,
as it is their duty to all World War
veterans to help and assist them at all
times without charge.

DON'T BE A TRANSMITTED
If You Have a Cold, Keep 1t To
Yourself.

eff you have cola, keep it to your
self. Don't broadcast your germs.
Sneeze into your handkerchief. Cough
behind your hand-and don't shake
hands with anybody until you have
washed your hands thoroughly. Keep
a plentiful supply of paper handker-
chiefs on hand and destroy them as
you use them"
These were some Of the dos and
don'ts suggested by DR.. John S. Full
ton, Director of the State Department
of Health, as means of decreasing
the annual crop of so-called "colds."
Continuing, he said:
"Colds are among the penalties of
civilization. Living as we do in con-
slant contact with other people, it is
hard to keep out of reach of other peo-
pies germs. We can avoid colds to a
certain extent by keeping as fit as pos
SHELBY eating nourishing foods,
dressing according to the weather,
getting as much fresh air and sun
light as possible and having plenty of
sleep. But if the person who works
next to you, or who sits near you at
school, or at church, or at the movies,
or at any other place where humans
congregate, sneezes or coughs in your
face, or shakes hands with you after
coughing behind his hand, you have to
be very fit to resist the onslaught of
his germs.
"There are other disseminators Of
the common cold that have been duly
outlawed and that should be avoided
but they still bob up even in civilized
society. I mean the common drinking
cup, the common towel and the COM
mon wash cloth. This latter is espec-
tally likely to be found where there
are a number of little children in a
family and where cups and towels and
wash cloths have a way of getting
passed around"
He paused for breath, and then ask
ed: "Did you ever see mother or a
big sister moisten her handkerchief
and use it to clean up baby's face?
Did you ever see a father give preci-
Gus baby taste of something off the
grown-up's plate, on the fork or the
spoon he has just taken out of his own
mouth? Neither of them would inten-
tionally harm the baby, but when they

for your doctor and follow his advice"

MUCH DISCUSSED PLAY

HOWEVER, it is possible to get
Il certain grid followers to ap-
~ prove the point after touch
down, while no baseball fan ever did
as much for the intentional pass.
Those who defend the point after
touchdown, say that it is a play that
keeps many a football game from
ending in tie and that drawn games
are always unsatisfactory.
Admitting that tie games are
far from popular, still game that
Is decided by the margin of one
point, as the result of one team
scoring a point after a touchdown
while the other fails, leaves a
rather bad taste in the mouth.
Southern California for instance
was defeated by Stanford and Notre
Dame by the score of 1912 last fall,
yet it would be difficult to convince
any supporter of Southern California
that either victorious team was even
one point better.
Minnesota fans are still talking
about how lucky Michigan was to
beat the Gophers rs in their second
clash.

Bounce Pass More Popular With Net Coaches
Than Direct Toss Through the Air
By III. G. Olsen. Ohio State Coach

II the pass Is made from a point
ten or twelve feet in front Of the
guard to teammate a similar dis.
lance beyond, and is made by mere
ly pushing or chucking the ball to
the floor without any unnecessary
flourish or advertising. so that the
ball strikes the floor on line with
the guards feet, 1t is practically
impossible for the guard to stoop
quickly enough to intercept the
pass. He simply can't bend quickly
enough unless he is an unusual
player.
The hardest sort of pass TO
handle without fumbhng is one
that is travelling downward, as from
shoulder height to knee height. The
man receiving a bounce pass gets
the ball on the way up and conse-
quently can handle it easily and
clearly.
Because OF its ease In handling,
and its effectiveness in any sitya.
ton where pass isto be made past
an opponent who is between the
passer and the receiver, the bounce
pass is probably destined to be-
come more and more of a stock in
trade pass as basketball develops.

the caroming the ball off the floor to
a teamnsate, instead Of passing di.
rectly through the air to him. There
are several fine features about this
pass which make its use very

quent recurrence of the situation of
having an opponent between the
passer and the man to whom he
wants to pass.
This is because most teams send
one or two men in behind the first
line of a five-man defense, so as to
have a man or two we'll up the floor
heading up the offense.
This brings the problem of getting
the ball past the men in the first
line OF defense and it is in ac-
complishing this that the bounce
pass has come into almost universal
favor, because it can be made ac-
curately and with less chance of in
