WHAT BONUS CASHED

Although the American Legion is of
ficially opposed to the plan, many former SOL
diers who hold bonus certificates are asking
that the government pay them off in cash
Immediately, as an aid in tiding them over
the present period of unemployment.
The law under which the certificates
were issued provides that small portion of
the face value may now be obtained as loan,
but this involves quite bit of difficulty and
red tape. In spite of this, about million
and half veterans have obtained these small
loans, aggregating some 275 million dollars.
Bonus certificates have been issued to
nearly three and half million veterans.
These are payable in full in 1915, or at death,
and will have an average value of $1,O12 if
held until maturity Should the government
elect to pay them off now, however, the
COMMITTED" value of each certificate would
be only one-half of it's face value. That is
why the American Legion advises it's men,
bers to hold their certificates, which are in
fact paid-up endowment life insurance pol
icies.
Obviously it is desirable for the veteran
to hold his certificate as a protection for his
family. But many are in distress, and a half
loaf now seems to them better than a whole
loaf Is years from now.
Even if law were passed to permit
those who desired to cash their certificates
now, others would not be forced to do so, and
all who wished could retain them under the
terms now in effect.
In as much as all veterans are presum-
ably old enough to know what they want, it
seems that those who need and want the
smaller amount now should be allowed to
have it.

the United States, and it is something of
which the country may be proud. But the
further fact that these cars are now killing
people at the rate of $4,000 a year and in
Turing 100000 more, is almost a national
disgrace.
The amazing thing is that most automo-
bile accidents might be prevented by taking
ordinary precautions Obviously there are
only two principal causes of accidents-care-
less driving and defective car equipment.
Even the most careful driver is helpless when
his car fails to function in an emergency.
It seems almost impossible to drill COM
mon sense into reckless drivers head, but
it would be perfectly easy to avoid most me-
chanical breakdowns by frequent inspections.
Worn or improperly adjusted brakes are re-
sponsible for more accidents than any other
single cause, although inspection by experts
at responsible service station costs nothing.
When adjustments or refining are found nee
essary it may be done quickly and inexpen-
sively.
To encourage greater carefulness in this
respect one leading manufacturer of brake
Innings is offering $1OO accident insurance
brakes refined with the company's product
ana agrees 10 nave Ills BRAKES Inspected perl
odically. Incidentally, it is said that many
thousands of automobile owners have al
ready availed themselves of the offer men
toned.
Pennsylvania and several other states
are getting excellent results by the enforc-
ment of compulsory automobile inspection
laws, and motorists associations are urging
their members to have frequent inspections
made voluntarily.
Any means whereby the present foolish
waste Of life may be reduced is worthy of
consideration and support.

I mentioned the insane asylum. He
was sitting on the back porch and I

maniac. I was sitting so close to the

him all the worse and / was afraid
of what he might do to me. I had
gotten to my feet by that time, how
ever, and I hit him with my left fist
as hard as could, right in the mouth.

PROHIBITION Is LEADING
QUESTION IN OHIO BALLOT
Alabama Democratic Nominee to
Have Opposition in Election First
Time in Thirty Years.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The shadow of Alfred E. Smith, 1925
Democratic presidential candidate, will
loom large over three of the four State
primaries to be held tomorrow.
Voters of Alabama, Arkansas and Ne
braska will have the burning issues OF
two years ago brought back to them
indirectly, while in the. fourth State
where ballots are to be cast prohibition
is to figure largely in the vote.
Alabama Democrats are to choose a
successor to Senator j. Thomas Helm,
ousted from this years party primary
because he failed to support the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate two years
ago. Hefiin, however, has conducted
vigorous campaign for reelection as an
independent and will be the November
opponent of the victor in the Demo-
cratic primary. John H. Bankhead OF
Jasper and Frederick 1. Thompson, Mo-
bile publisher, are the senatorial can
didates in the primary. 1t will be the
first time in more than 80 years that
the Democratic senatorial nominee faces
opposition at the general election.
Other Issues in Nebraska
The Nebraska race offered as its chief
interest opposition to Senator George
w. Norris, who left the Republican fold
to support Smith in the campaign.
However, farm relief, tariff and pro-
hibition are numbered among the is
sues in the Republican contest there
Norris is opposed by w. w. Stebbln,
State treasurer, and Aaron Read. The
Stebbin campaign has been directed at
Norris for failure to cooperate with
the administration The veteran Sem
ator carried to the voters claim Tor
vindication of his party bolt, asserting
events that have transpired have clear
ed me of criticism"
The Democratic primary in Nebraska
offers a candidate who deserted the
ranks of that party to support Hoover
in 1928. This is DR.. Jennie M. Callfas,
opposed by former Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock.
In Arkansas Senator Joseph T. Rob-
inson, the Democratic leader, has con-
Quoted a strenuous campaign against
Rom w. Campbell, Little Rock lawyer.
Robinson has championed the cause OF
national prohibition in vigorous fash
ion in a manner that has led to gen.
eral belief he sought TO counteract any
effect of his having shared the ma
tional ticket with Smith.
Dry Question Leads in Ohio.
Because of little opposition to Re-
publican candidates interest in ONO
has conferred on the Democratic sena-
torial contest. in which prohibition has
been the leading issue. Tariff, farm
relief and present economic conditions
have contributed to campaign topics.
Robert j. Buckley of Cleveland, for
