BILLIONS ASKED
FOR RELIEF OF
WAR VETERANS
Proposed Legislation Piles
Up in House, Periling
Cash Bonus Plan.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Pro-
posed World war veterans legisla-
ton was piled up in the house to-
day calling for appropriation of bill
lions of dollars to add to the S.
3770O0,00O already spent for vet
Grams relief since the war.
While the mass of bills served to
emphasize the growing expenditure
the government must face in car
ing for its veterans, it also produced
such a jam there is slight prospect
of the ex-soldier getting much
from this session of congress.
Present Legion's Program
Opponents of the most widely
agitated of these bills, those en-
bodying proposals for cash payment
Of adjusted service certificates, ex-
pect to use this confusion IN their
attempts to smother this form of
legislation.
On top of the many measures al
ready introduced there has been
thrown now by the American Legion
a bill proposing amendments to
present laws providing for extension
of World war pensions, insurance
privileges, compensation and hos
pitalization. Altogether this would
constitute the most elaborate vet
Grams legislation since the war.
It would increase the maximum
Of World war veterans disability
pensions from $40 to $50 a month;
would authorize pensions of $50 a
month for widows and Sc a month
for each child of a World war vet
eran.
Consider Hospital Plans
1t would revive insurance privi-
legeS for veterans who have allowed
theirs to lapse; would establish al
lowances for dependents of perma-
nently disabled veterans, would per-
init treatment of veterans in their
homes, even if the disability was
not incurred in the service, and
would ad chronic and constitutional
diseases to the list of those which
are presumed to be of service ORR
gin if they developed prior to Jan.
l, 1925.
The veterans committee began
today consideration of additions to
existing hospital facilities to be en-
bodied in an omnibus disqualification
measure. This is aside from the
American Legion program intro

Appropriation Bills Show
Vast Sum Approved for
Fiscal Year.

~ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-More
than $100,OOO,OO0 will be spent in
aviation during the coming fiscal
year by the United States govern
ment, appropriation bills now be-
lore congress disclosed today.
Two-thirds of this sum, the larg-
est budget for aeronautics develop
ment in the country's history, will
be spent by the army and navy
alone.
The postofice department will re-
ceive one-fifth of the total appro-
priation for its air mail service.
Next years appropriation, aggre-
eating 500, 1877 800, is about six and
half millions greater than the
fund being spent this fiscal year

Postal Fund Increased
Tile army air corps appropriation
for new planes, repairs, air bases,
ETC., for next year will be $37, 500, $50
as compared with $36,O57,O58 this
year The postoffice also was grant
ed an increase for next year, receiv-
ing $20,000,000 as against $15,OO0,00O
this year.
The navy's budget was cut, how
ever, naval aviation receiving only
S30,S5O,000 next year as against $780,
033,211, its present fund.
The 100000 increase in the
postoffice air fund was occasioned
by passage of the Watres' bill,
which increases. the number of air
transport lines carrying mail.
Another increase may be neceS-
sary, too, if the proposed trans
Atlantic air mail service is placed
in operation.
Stamps Sales Returned
Approximately one-third Of the
air mail appropriation is returned
to the department through the sale
Of stamps.
The commerce department aero
nautics branch likewise received
an increase in funds. It's appropri-
alton for next year aggregates $1O,-

NEW YORK.-That glove box
Of yours is going to be fuller
this spring than for a long
time-if you follow the fashion
in dresses, coats and suits.
Because there are several diff
ferent sleeve lengthS-all in
fashion-and each sleeve length
requires a different lengt h
glove.
There was a time, a few
years ago, when short little
gloves were worn with short
little sleeves. But not today.
The shorter the sleeve, the
longer the glove, is the fash
ion idea.
And that makes five lengths
Of gloves fashionable for day
time-worn with four different
length sleeves.
With Long Sleeves
The shortest-and the one
everybody's most used to-lS the
four-button length. It's worn
with coats and suits that have
full-length regular width sleeves
and with some dresses with
long, close-fitting sleeves.
The six-button glove is worn
with these same costumes by
fashion-knowing women who like
their gloves to wrinkle in a
smartly careless sort Vi wST.
You can see the effect in the
sketch.
With Three-Quarter Sleeves
This six-button glove can be
worn with the new three-quar-
ter coat, suit or dress sleeve.
But better looking with this
length sleeve is the glove that's
two buttons longer-the eight
button.
It comes up higher and can
be Wrinkled more.

eight-button glove with sleeves

CHAPTER 80

N316A3 L G4O 90
I lived in a weird world,
peopled with ghosts.
Parties, parties, parties, orgies,
orgies, orgies--a few hours Of
sanity, then down into the dirt
and slime of degradation again.
One night at one Of these
horrible affairs I saw a white
haired old man with sunken
jaws and the dull eyes of a
confirmed addict, galvanize
suddenly into a semblance of
life.
His corpse-like face, flushed
with something like honest
blood, he leaped to his feet and
stood like some hideous carl
cature Of death dragged from
the grave, and gazed at a
young man and a young woman
who came into the room so
dazed with drugs that the
young man could scarcely
Stagger.
A Wild Laugh
The young man stopped in
his tracks.
Then he laughed wild,
cracked laugh that sounded
like the hideous screams of
laughter I had heard in the
mad house at Patton,
Hello, Dad" hiccoughed the
young man, you on the dope,
too. So that's what's the mat
ter with you, eh, and I thought
you were a nice, clean old man,
just getting little groggy with
age.
Gee, I may have to wait for
your coin, after ALL"
The old man turned livid.
Then the half naked girl
who was with the young man,
took him by the arm.
"Aw," she gurgled in her
hoarse voice of the streets,
"aw-what do we care, take
another sniff, and dance it
off,"
And the old man followed
the street girls advice and
took another sniff, and in five
minutes time he was shaking
his aged flanks in a goat-like
dance.
The Laughing Dancer
The son danced with me.
He laughed all the time we
were dancing.
"Gee," he said, "the old man
sure is some stopper, and to
think I've been afraid Of an
old goat like that all my life"
I left that party-I couldn't
stand it, even I, the poor, dazed,
broken wreck.
I heard afterward that The
party lasted for three days, and
the young man and his father
changed partners, mad every
body seemed quite happy.
I broke the usual rule Of the
dope world and discovered who
the old man was.
YOU'D be surprised to hear
his name.
Whittier Than Snow
He had two beautiful grand
daughters. not yet S years old,
and a proud, broken-hearted
wife.
When the parties began to
grow a little dull they brought
around a big silver bowl of

caine.

Teeth Need Calcium
Teeth, of course, require cal
cium, which they get in milk.
Hence the value of milk in the
diet. Apparently, they also re-
quire Vitamin D and other vita
minis found in egg yolk.
Dental decay is very COM
mon in England, and studies,
such as the MellanbyS per-
formed, are for that reason
particularly valuable. They
found, for instance, that in
$500 English school children
95 per cent had defective struc-
ture of the back molars, and
that IS per cent of these had
decay. But the encouraging
fact is that, on diet alone,
much Of this could be re-
medied. Not only prevented,
mind you, but remedied after
it had occurred.

glove gives you those few
wrinkles that make the differ

to be pulled straight to reach
as far as it ought to reach with

of IL or 16-button gloves de.
pending on whether or not yoU
want to cover the elbow.
And a good way to decide this
is to try on both kinds before a
mirror and see which looks
better on you.
Most Of your new spring
gloves you'll probably want in
neutral shades Of beige that
look well with navy, black,
beige, brown and print cos
tunes.
White for Accent
But if your costume has white
accents-like a white fur scarf
with navy coat or suit-white
gloves are smart note. Dark
brown gloves worn with a beige
or other very light costume are
a new idea. and a cookbook
ing one, especially If the shoes
or hat are the same dark brown.
A pair in natural chamoiS
color fits in, too, since color con-
trast is so important in the
spring costume. It's especially
nice with navy, but good with
other colors as well.
And if you're wearing navy
shoes with a navy costume, it's
quite possible you'll want a pair
Of navy gloves to go with them.
1t would make you very much
in fashion.

laugh, that rings to my ears to
this very day.
The laugh of a lost soul,
staggering down to perdition.
Heroin is about five times
as strong as cocaine. It works
faster, and it last longer and
it lashes the nerves into a wild
fury Of such excitement as
none but maniacs know.
For the cocaine user is a
maniac while he is using the
coke. And he will do anything
in the world to get that coke
to use.
Home, friends, mother, faith
er, wife, husband, children,
honor, self respect, decency,
these are all merely funny
words to the habitual coke
user.
The Mad Whirl
Every once in a while I came
to, out of the wild whirl which
was my life.
Sick and trembling. and
dazed, I would make up my
mind to reform-but the coke
and heroin and the morphine,
grinned at me, like skeletons,
and I grinned back again like
the poor crazed fool that I was.
Then one day I got a shock
that drove me into another at
tempt to break my chain. I
was offered a part, a, great
part, in a great play in the
talkies. It was the lead in
Lady Chatterley's Lover"
My heart sang with joy. Why
I wasn't just a poor, dazed
nobody after all. I was still

I took the part home with
me, and began to study it.
I locked myself in my room
in a good hotel, and went to
work.
No use.
Told Of Dope
I couldn't remember a SEN
tence Of my new part-not one
sentence after the other, dope
had taken its toll.
This time my brain was
really gone.
I called in a good physician
a really good physician. The
doctor came to see me, gave
me one glance, and telegraphed
to my mother in California.
"Your daughter needs you,
>sorely," that's what the doctor
said in his telegram.
Did my mother respond to
that cry for help?-why she
was my mother. OF course, she
did. She came on the very first
train and the first thing she
said to me when she arrived
was:
Darling, has dope got you
again?"
Out On the Street
I lied to my mother. I told
her I was through with dope
once and for all. Oh, how
wished that what I said was
true.

THE YEAR AHEAD
For Those Whose Birthday is
March IL

If March IL is your birthday,
during the coming year you are
under a favorable influence
from the planet Saturn. You
should benefit through those
older or in superior positions.
The gain may seem slow in
coming but it is more apt to be
permanent. You should use
every opportunity to establish
yourself in a substantial man
ner. Work Systematically and
persistently. Important dates:
Avoid exceSses of all kinds, take
no risks and maintain routine
from June II to 13, July /, 2,
Is to 18, August 18 to %, Sep
tember 13 to Is, %, 80, October

IL to IA, 26, 81, October Is to
18, 20, 80, 81, November / to 3,
November is to December Is.
Contradictory dates show two
opposing influences.
A child born March IL will
be self-controlled, careful and
reliable and able to direct his
own affairs. He will be at
tracted to positions Of promi-
nence and responsibility. He
will probably travel and gain
success in educational work, as
a representative. or in connec-
ton with transportation by sea,
rail or air.
Tendencies for March 13:

I touched on this subject a
week or two ago, but there has
just come to notice a report
that is too interesting to allow
too pass by. At the risk Of
repetition, then, I shall describe
the work of the Mellanbys, hus-
band and wife, in England.
Perhaps the best way to intro
duce the subject is by quoting
Prof. Mellanby's own words:
"It is now possible in animals
to produce any degree Of per
lection or imperfectiOn Of teeth
by different diets given during
the period Of dental develop
ment."
An Astounding Fact
Isn't that an astounding fact?
You can take one litter Of ami
mails, and no matter how
healthy they are otherwise you
can make them have bad teeth
by giving them a certain diet.
While another. litter nearby, in
the same climate and environ
ment conditions, is made to
have sound teeth simply from
another diet.
Substances tending to pro-
duce perfectly calcified, bright,
shiny and evenly arranged
teeth include milk, egg yolk,
cod liver oil, or, indeed, any
substances rich in Vitamin D,
while cereals, in the absence of
sufficient Vitamin D, produce
