The house committee on war claims

oam S6,0O0,00O If he pays it, and it ought

he has owed the bill for Sc years and
by all the rules of justice he ought to
pay interest on it.
In 1899 the United States had quite
a force of soldiers in the Philippines,
putting down the insurrection which was
the aftermath of our war with Spain
The soldiers were volunteers who had en-
listed for the war with Spain which had
been ended many months before. Their
enllstments expired while they were in
the field and they We're entitled to travel
pay back to the United States. Their
officers asked the men to continue fight
ing to avoid the delay of bringing on
new men from the states and to eliminate
sending the volunteers back to their point
of enlistment to be reenlisted.
The answer was "sure Mike" or some
thing like that. The boys of '9S took
their officers at their word, that they
would be given travel pay back to the
point of enlistment. The officers, of
course, made the promise in good faith
1t was never kept. Those boys who
weren't killed by the Moro bolos, jungle
fever and whatnot, kept up the fight un-
til it was over and then came home
They never got their travel pay.
This money was not a bonus. It was
a legitimate debt which Uncle Sam owed
them and which he, through his. officers,
had promised the soldiers.
For sc years the veterans have been
attempting to collect what was due them
but without success. Many of those en-
titled to the money, have passed on.
Others, in advanced years and not veal
thy, could use the money to advantage.
Thirty-six years is long time to wait
for debt of honor to be paid. Uncle
Sam is credited with taking pride in his
honor and it certainly seems to be up to
him to maintain that honor by passing
this bill and without any further delay

is the place where Frances Per-
kins, secretary of labor, tried to
trade in her private elevator for
more conveniences for her staff.
This move left the old labor
building vacant. 1t was planned
that the NRA move one of its big
sections into the old labor building
so as to provide space in the COM
merce building for the shipping
board. The NRA already being

The shipping board had been
quartered in the navy building

That was fine. except when NRA
came to move its section, it discov-
cred there wasn't enough room and
space would have to be rented in
two more private office buildings
to accommodate the overflow.
So compromise was worked out.

TRENTON. N. j., March 16. U.P)
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, con-
victed as the murderer of the Lind
bergh baby, saw three men go to
death last night.
He shook hands with them, told
them "pray to Cod" and bade
them good bye. He was calm, mat
ter-o fact.
Unless the courts intervene, some
months hence Hauptmann will be
led through the same little door
that swallowed his three compan-
ions in the death house last night.
He betrayed no emotion.

WASHINGTON, March Is. U.Pl-
The moving men are never idle un-
der the sign of the new DEAL at
Washington.
There are two reasons for this:
the big government building pro-
gram initiated under President
Hoover and the number of new
agencies initiated under President
Roosevelt.
Between the two Of them, the
once quiet, sleepy streets of the
capital are never still from the
rumble of vans and the clatter of
furniture moving into buildings
and out again.
The story of how the NRA came
to pay the shipping boards $57, ZOO
annual rent bill Is Just one of the
many things that have sprung up
under this constant moving and
moving and moving.

Besides receiving a tool box for

before Christmas, borrowed a stock

Santa Claus had no trouble in put

"A scrap book is to put scraps

little orphan rabbit.
"Scraps of cloth like in Nurse

Bunty.
"No, not scraps of cloth--scraps

ed. "You see it's like this, Bunty.
A scrap book has nothing in 1t as
have other books no stories and
no pictures. All the pages are
blank and you can paste on them
scraps of anything you like. You
cut pictures and stories out of
newspapers and magazines. At first
these look like lot of scraps from

they are neatly pasted in a book the

board moved into the old labor

But the labor building Is pri-

never paid rent at the navy build

will toward their Irish" neighbors, to
whom the observance of ST. Patrick's
day means SO much.
For over a thousand years ST. Patrick
day has been the outstanding day in the
Irish calendar. The sons and daughters
of the Emerald Isle" scattered to the
far corners of the earth, have continued
to keep bright the memory of the great
man who brought Christianity to the
home of their forefathers, and through
their example, the custom of honoring
st. Patrick has been passed on to men
of all races and all creeds.
This is particularly true in America,
which has always drawn such heavy
percentage of Irish, starting with the
great exodus in 184S when the famine
drove thousands of Irish from their
homes to seek new start in America.
The Irish have contributed much to
the development and progress of this
country, at the same time being duly ap-
preciative of the greater opportunities
for their own good, which has been open
to them here. The love they have for
their homeland or the homeland of
their fathers j s exceeded only by
their love for the United States of
America, and VIII lie h e may re-
tain "bit of brogue" in his speech, none
is quicker to become thoroughly Ameri-
can than the Irishman
1.-THE Day We Celebrate" is a popular
toast among the Irish and there is hard
ly need to ask what day is meant. 'Tis
"St. Patrick's Day in the Morning"
when "The Wearing o. the Green" means
wearing it with love, pride and rever-
ence.
