Not Always First Cost Counts

1t is important that the buyer
should carefully avoid the error Of
believing that the price and values
are controlled by what things have
cost to produce in the past. For
instance, if a railway has BEEN
built and located unwisely its value
may fall far short of it's original
cost. The same principle holds
true, to varying degrees, of mer-
chandise or any other smaller COM
modify.

"Why, man, you're looking fit as

Drake Harmon, thermometer in

for she blushed and turned aside.
His heart went pounding.

Specks on Windshields

During the summer there are
myriads of small insects in the air.
When driving they are smashed
against the automobile windshield,
causing the glass to be covered
with fine Specks.

thought Drake Har-
mon, the doctor couldn't know how
little home meant TO him. He
punched his pillow into a lump and
propped himself up in bed
Despite everything, Drake Har-
mon had enjoyed his first real sick
spell. His salary would go on just
the same, but instead of working
he was free to read. Every day
he had visitors who forgot to drop
in when he was well, and besides
there was Miss Bowen. Now that
it was time to go home, he realized
how much he would miss his CHEEKY
little nurse.
The door opened and Doctor
Scott and Miss Bowen entered.

REORGANIZATION of the Governments
disabled veteran compensation system
on q basis of compensation in propCr-
ton to a veterans need and his ability
to earn was urged last week In an
announcement issued from national
headquarters Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars of the United States by Hezekiah
N. Duff, Lansing. Mich, national COM
mander.
"A broad investigation that will elm
mate present inequalities in compensa-
ton awards ard the introduction of
policies that win compensate a disabled
veteran in accordance with his in
capacitated earning power, will not only
afford adequate relief for those in actual
need but will also constitute an
economic saving for the Government"
Duff pointed out.
"a disabled veteran is entitled to
compensation that will bridge the gap
between absolute poverty, or his existing
income, and the amount he was able to
earn before he was physically impaired
as q result of his war service" the
veteran leader emphasized.
Our comrades who gave freely Of
their bodies overseas in the Wngld War
only ask a fighting chance from the
Government today. They plead for
financial aid that will help them re-
habilitate themselves physically, in an

Capper, chairman OF the Senate D. G.
committee, and Congressman Mel, cod
chairman of the House D. c. commit
tee, by E. G.. Babcock, Commander of
the D. c. department of the d. A. v.
The d. A. v. in Washington several
years ago launched campaign to in
sure better provision for the mental
cases in st. Elizabeth's Hospital here,
and out of this came the congressional
investigation that resulted in a number
of changes in policies of. the Veterans
Bureau. The national organization en-
deavored to have Congress enact q ma
tional guardianship act, but when this
failed there was drafted a uniform law
that has already been passed In more
than half of the States of the Union.
Senator Capper has introduced the
same bill to cover the District of Co.
lumbia and the d. A. v. here. through
State Comdr. Babcock, is urging early
adoption.
The Johnson bill, containing about 35
changes In the laws governing the Vet
Grams Bureau and including a number
of items of the D. A. v. legislative pro-
gram adopted at Detroit last June, was
reported TO the House during the past
week by Congressman Luce of Massa-
chusetts.
The measure was reported only after
the veterans committee had held hear
ings for more than month, and every
effort is now being made to bring it to
early vote in the House, in order that
it ma be gotten to the Senate in time
to avert any fllibuster that may develop
in the closing days of the present
session.
Inclusion in the presumptive clause
until 1925 Of all diseases, a statutory
award of S25 a month additional to
many other compensations for men who
lost arms or legs in service, dependency
allowances for men hospitalized for nom
service connected disabilities. curbing
the power of the controller general to
override the director of the Veterans
Bureau in many instances, elimination
of the time limit for filing claims for
benefits and extension of one year for
the time In which veterans may sue on
their insurance policies are among the
high points in the johnson bill. All of
these were in the D. A. v. program
upon which the original Johnson bill was
based.
