Disabled Veterans to Get
Relief Checks by May |
Confu sion Resulting From Amendments During
Revision of Law Being Smoothed Out
Benefit Here Exceptional.

there are several confused sections of
the law, and members of the staff of
the D. A. " have collaborated with
the central Office of the administra-
ton on smoothing out these differ
ences, with the result that the effects
| will be felt by veterans and their de-
pendents earlier than had been an
tiCipated.
Disabled veterans among the Fed
eral employees of Washington will. as
group, benefit to a greater measure
under this legislation than the groups
elsewhere. Prior to the adoption of
the SteiWer amendments, which the
D. A. v. supported, most disabled vet
erans employed by the Government
could receive only Sc month of their
pensions while so engaged. The new
la1 removed this prohibition so far as
World War men are concerned, so the
employees of Uncle Sam will now COM
mence to receive their full compenSa-
tion, as well as salary. A second ben
eft is the pay increases, while a third
is the elimination of the provision of
the economy act that prevented those
eligible for benefits being employed by
the Government in participation in
decisions on claims for benefits from
the Veterans Administration.
These provisions have been reflected
ir the membership of the D. A. " in
Washington. and high ratio of Gov
ernment employees is among those
now joining the organization in

Stories Of Huge Ocean
Monster Stir Scot Town

Lochness, Scotland.-Natives OF
this picturesque seacoast town have
been agog for weeks over the stories
of a huge sea monster which sew.
eral of the residents say they saw In
the water near shore recently. The
excitement was increased a few
days ago by a dispatch from Ger
many, which tended to confirm the
description Of the monster and the
truth of its existence.
A German U-boat captain during
the war, after reading about the
monster seen near Lochness, related
that he had seen a similar monster
in the same vicinity during the war
He said the huge reptile resembled
an alligator In general shape and
that it had sharp fins. He estimated
its length at about &C feet. The
description given by Lochness res,
idents who saw the beast varies in
that they observed no fins.
At the height of the furore over
the monster local authorities here
jokingly caused notice to be dis.
tributed by the police which warns
residents and visitors against at
lacking the strange reptile.

14,2OO Italian Settlers
Take Up Reclaimed Land

Littoria, Italy. - Trainloads Of
peasants arrive here every month
and thousands of these hardy farm
hands start life afresh in this city,
which was once the center of the
now reclaimed Pontine marshes.
Here, at least, there is no depres-
sion.
These rugged folk come from the
most varied points Of the peninsula
and their one wish is to till the soil
The vast expanses Of the reclaimed
Pontine marshes today make their
life dream come true.
Veteran farmers stand at atten-
ton and mechanically click their
heels together before uttering a
monosyllable. A good many lately
have been coming from the Friuli
region. Property Is so subdivided
and scarce there and so thickly pop
ulated that lots destined for farm
sharing often measure less than a
hectare. Hence they become wan
derers in search of work, almost
gypsy-farmers. The Pontine ex-
pertinent is curing the disease. Men
are falling in love again with their
soil, their pillow and oxen.

SLANG ORIGIN
WITH CAVE MAN
Prof. Davis, Stanford English
Professor, Tells Where
Words Originated
COMPARE EXPRESSION

Los Angeles.-Modern slang and
colorful ways Of saying things have
come directly down to US from fight
Ing, pioneering, farming and hunt
ing ancestors.
When we speak, we reanimate
the age Of chivalry, the cave man
civilization, pioneer life, the COM
mon arts and crafts, the days of
the horse and of knuckle and skull.
The origins of thousands Of fig
ures of speech, many Of them ia
miliar, like "back biting" Gin the
clover" take it on the chin" and
Sworn enemy" were given by DR..
William Hawley Davis, Stanford
English professor, before the Philo-
logical Association of the Pacific
Coast here
Doctor Davis urged the use Of
figures of speech, both in written
and spoken language, declaring that
1t contributes much to the force and
color Of verbal communication. 1t

A Cave Man Expression.
Back biting" he asserted, was
added to the language during cave
man civilization; sin the clover"
came from the farm, take it on the
chin" derives from primitive fist
fighting" and Sworn enemy" is a
living relic of days of chivalry.
Supplementing the figures Of
speech, used In everyday life, Doc
tor Davis made the following classi-
f1cations:
Age of chiyalry: Buckle on your
armor, couch your spear, back on
his launches, enter the lists.
Cave-man civilization: Back
scratching, pits Of their own dig
ging, cut-throat competition.
Knuckle and skull fighting !:
Tooth and toe nail, gouging between
the eyes, knockout, throw up the
sponge.
The army: Headquarters, on pa
rade, face the music. rogue's march,
turncoat.
Some Horsy Slang.
The days Of the horses: France,
pace, gallop, trot, bride your anger,
kick over the traces, look a gift
horse in the mouth.
From the farm: Sow and reap,
tend, garner, CLEAN, lame duck.
duck a blow, cock of the walk, eggs
in one basket, upsetting the apple
cart.
Firearms: Quick on the trigger,
flash In the pan, go off with bang,
hit the bulls eye.
Fighting In general: Shot his bolt,
two-edged sword, draw a long bow,
gang up on.
From pioneer life: Stump the
state, in the clear, our neck of the
woods, die with his boots on, hang
for sheep as well as for a lamb,
have him over a barrel, bring home
the bacon, the whole shooting
match. the wolf at the door.
From the common arts and crafts !:

With little capital, one could
