a secretary at the Senate Office

YOU MUST LAND
HIM BY 12P.M.

Midnight today and the Leap
Year maidens who have failed to
get their man will have to wait
until 1886.
Girls, like presidential candi-
dates, get a chance only once
every four years.
There were some 800 fewer
marriage licenses applied for in
the District in 1882 than in 1928.
Either the depression made the
girls hesitate or they are losing
their nerve. Or maybe men are
harder to get. This new fem
mime freedom has it's dis
advantages.
According to cold figures sup
piled by the Marriage License
Bureau, 5,40O licenses were issued
in 1928 and this year only 5,O81.
But midnight is still a few
hours off and there is still a
chance for the girls of 1882 to
vindicate themselves.

The review of all disability al

by the Veterans Administration,
affecting 100000 veterans with
non-service disabilities, inevitably
must mean discontinuance of pay
ments to hundreds of these vet
eranS, and reduction of many
others, it was admitted today at
the Administration offices.
The review, recently begun, will
require three months or more,
and will mean a complete re-
classification and re-examination
OF all such veterans now drawing
compensation for injuries received
or illness incurred since leaving
the military service, it was added.
Survey Called Routine
According to Adelbert D. Hitler,
administrative assistant to Direc-

is a routine matter and is not
motivated by the movement on
Capitol Hill to reduce or elimi-
nate all compensation payments
now going to veterans not
wounded in action.
He added:
The review is to determine
If the veterans rated as en-

benefits was passed, still meet
