Had Done No Wrong

In all his life Jake had never
done a wrong thing, He shook
his head doggedly and said he
would have no part of such Q
scheme. The other man
shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, jake" he asserted,
''but we won't call it quits just
yet. Think it over for q while.
I'll meet you again in few
days and maybe your mind will
change. So long"
The seed was planted. Jake
Shivered when he thought of it,
but he thought Of it through
two sleepless nights. After all,
no one would ever know. He
could give his Dorothy her
dowry. He could
Three days later he met the
other man again.
"I'u give you the information"
said Jake nervouSly," but there
is one thing that stands In the
way. The payroll is only $12,-
900 and I need more than.
$1,000. viii you give me $4,000
instead? must have $4,000"
The crook nodded rapidly.
"Sure, jake" he replied.
"Glad to do 1t for you. Ard
glad you're in with us on this
cinch dough. Come on over to
my house and Wen go over this
thing"
And over they went.
Jake's portion Of the Job was
soon completed. He gave the
boys all the details. It was
agreed that the spot was to be
taken on the very next pay day.
And Jake was permitted to
leave.
AS soon as he had gone, one
of the mob complained.
why give that old sucker
two grand?" he grumbled. "He
amt doin' nothin' to earn it,"

other. IF he don't get it,
he'll beef on the whole bunch
of us. We gotta pay him."
The leader smiled.
"We. never got to do any.
thing" he observed. Maybe I
have a little plan. You just
leave it to me-"
On the appointed day, and
at the appointed hour, the rob-
berry took place. It went off
smoothly and the $4,000 pay
roll was stolen in very thor
ough manner. But both the po-
lice and the newspapers believed
that the job was done by anna
teurS.
They had reason for their be-
liefs According to them. the
leader of the mob had become
nervous during the hold-up and
shad killed an old Jewish book
keeper named Jake R,
merely because the old man
had happened to look toward
the drawer in which the money
was kept.
Jake received a burial that
was fitting for a man who had
loved his daughter and who
had devoted the greater part Of
his life to serving one firm.
Moreover, although he had
been nobody in life, he was
recognized in death as a fine
man and a brave one.
A year went by and Dorothy
prepared to marry the man
she loved. Just before the
wedding. her fathers concern,
held q meeting. They arrived
at a decision. And they sent
Dorothy a note.
TN memory Of your fathers
bravery" it read, 'and as a
token Of our esteem for his ser
vices. we want you to accept
the enclosed"
Although he never knew it,
old Jake had made good. The
enclosed was a check for $4,000.
The Washington times., 1933-01-18
Old School lew

Jake was not the modern,
aggressive American Hebrew.
Far from it. He was of the
old school. A quiet, eaSy-gotng
soul, he was content to live on
the meager wages he received
as the bookkeeper of an East
Side Sweatshop.
His daughter was the entire
world to him. The child was
only 4 years of age when her
mother died-and Jake had
been both parents to her from
that day on.
When she was, IL years of
age Jake sat her on his lap.
Dorothy" he said, you're
getting to be a big girl. The
first thing / know, you'll be
coming home and telling papa
that you've fallen in love with
Q handsome man."
The child Uttered. And Jake
careSsed her tenderly.
"You laugh now," he went
on, "but it will be no joke to
papa when that day comes.
One must look to the future,
you know.
Eyes, my child. One must
look toward the future. And
that's what I am doing for
you, my darling. I'm putting
money away for you. Yes, I
am. When it comes time for
you to marry, you are going to
get a dowry of $2,00O!"
The child threw. her arms
around his neck.
Don't talk of such things,
papa" she cried. "The money
will always be yours because I
will never marry. I hate boys"
Jake nodded wisely.
The mind changes with the
years." he observed. "But that's
neither here nor there. You
are to have $4,000 as q dowry
from your father. This, on
your twelfth birthday, he prom
1seS you."
Her father had no $4,000. It
was q hundred to one that
Jake would never have $4,000.
But he liked the words as he
spoke them. And, after all, this
child's> marriage wac so many
years away.
The Same Promise
Each year, with no more
money than he possessed the
year previous, Jake made the
same promise on Dorothy's
birthday. Soon she was 16.
And II. And 18. And then
Jake suddenly realized that
his baby was on the verge
Of matrimony. She had been
keeping company for almost a
year. The boy was a fine
youngSter and Jake admired
him. It was practically under
stood that Dorothy was en-
gagged.
Now it dawned upon him
that he had to get the $4,000
he had promised for so long
q time. Could he tell his
daughter that he had no such
sum? Could he tell her that
his remarks were the words of
q big buffer? Could he fail
her now? No. He had brought
this situation upon himself.
And he would have to find the
money somewhere.
He tried to borrow. His
friends laughed at him. He
went to a loan company. When
they learned his salary, they
offered to lend him 5000 in
stead of $4,000.
The word spread rapidly.
Old Jake was broke and needed
money badly. And one night,
as he walked slowly homeward

Disabled American Veterans

Re-establishment of S1o0 a month as
the basic payment for service-connected
pensions is the immediate objective of
the Disabled American Veterans, ac-
cording to developments here during
the past week. Through committee
hearings, Joe w. Mcqueen of Kansas
City national commander OF the Dis
abled American Veterans, presented to
the President a proposal that there be
Immediately restored the Sl00 basis
which was reduced by 10 per cent at
the last session of Congress.
The letter of Comdr Mcqueen to the
President follows:
In view of the steady increase in
living costs, together with persistent
reports that there is being considered a
reduction in the amount of cuts in the
salaries of Government employees it is
respectfully and earnestly requested that
there be restored to the Service-con-
nected disabled World War men the 10
per cent reduction.
1T is a matter of %ficial record that
literally thousands of these men are
today unemployed with resultant suf-
! fering to themselves. their wives and
! children. Still. with the prices of ne
ceSsitieS sincreasing. the small incomes
of these men are stationary.
Even the most vigorous organized
advocates of reductions in the costs of
| veterans relief are now declaring that
at no time did they favor slashing Of
the men whose handicaps are traceable
to the part they played in winning the
war. In = recent speech you said. IN
discussion of those disabled as a result
of their service and their dependents.
they should receive generous care. 1t
would. therefore, appear as though the
country i practically unanimous in the
feeling that what economies are neces-
sar, to effect should not be at the eX
pense of the service-connected men.
However, that situation exists today
through the 10 per cent cut on basic
allowances for these men.
I'VE assume that with the reconven-
ing of Congress there will be a calm
and deliberate review of the whole prob
lem of veterans relief, with representa-
tives of the Disabled American Veterans
being afforded a full opportunity to
present their views 1t will be. Of course,
an effort on the part of Congress to
eliminate the injuStices that have been
developed as result of the experiences
of the administration of the law of last
March and subsequent regulations.
However, may respectfully suggest that
the matter of restoring the reduction in
the scale of payments need not walt for
the return of the Congress as the law
places ample authority in the hands OF
the President to make this adjustment.
1T is desired to again emphasize the
fact that the Disabled American Vet
erans at this time is concentrating its
activities entirely on behalf of those
whose disabilities resulted from the
war
In response to inquiries at the press
conference last week. President Roose-
velt said that while the question of
whether the White House approved of
this suggestion was premature. intensive
study was being made of the subject
and it was expected that a definite de-
cision would be made shortly. The
national legislative program of the Dis
abled American Veterans calls for the

tion urging the Federal Government to
deprive dry States of revenues from the

tributed to this fund" the resolution
stated.
States which have not voted for re-
