Mr.. Andrew:
MOTIVES
Congress il 1924 belatedly
recognized that the soldiers,
sailors and marines who had
taken part in the World War
had been underpaid as COM
pared with civilian workers dur
ing the war period. and with
those who had furnished the
Government with supplies.
1T was, therefore, agreed to
award these veterans an extra
dollar a day for their home

rare and rather obnoxious type;
a Woman-crazy man.
When men-real he-men-
foregather, they talk about
business. golf. horses, cards,
tree surgery, the latest way to
mix a cocktail and what's
wrong with the country. Or
they tell stories. But they
never discuss WOMEN.

something to eat. And a man
in his Indian summer may occa-

charm of his young stenogra-
pher.
And there is a time in every
mans life when he can't keep
his mind on his work, but sits
at his desk gazing out at the
spring Skies-and wondering
about some woman.
But no man ever concentrates
his thoughts on women long

about them. He has heard

to July 1, 1919, and an extra
dollar and a quarter per day
for their oversee service during
the same period.
This would have been a great
Godsend to most veterans if it
could have been paid to them
at the difficult moment Of their
discharge, but that time had
long since passed and their sit
uation was very different in
1924.
The country was then in
the full swing of great prosper
ity. There was little unemploy-
ment and an atmosphere Of eX-
travagance was everywhere
prevalent. 1t was believed by
a majority of both Houses of
Congress, and by large pro.
portion of the veterans them
selves, that it would be more
helpful to the veterans and to
their dependents, if, instead Of
paying them their bonus at
such a moment in cash, the
amount in question were al
lowed to accumulate at 4 per
cent compound interest, and
they were given a certificate in
the form of a paid-up insurance
policy based upon the accumu-
lated total (nearly two and
half times the originally pro-
posed adjusted service credit.
IN THE RECORD
"This much greater maturity
value of his certificate would be
paid to the veteran at the end
Of 20 years, when presumably
he and his growing family would
be in greater need of financial
help, or to his wife or heirs at
the moment of his death, if that
unfortunate event should occur
during the intervening time"
Someone has said that Facts
are stubborn things" This is a
stubborn summary by one Of the
authors of the original adjusted
service certificate act Of 1924.
It is stubborn because 1t is
made up of facts which are writ
ten into the record.
No sound legislation will come
from this or any other Congress
which is not enacted in the light
of the facts above set forth by
Congressman Andrew Of Mas.

Once Overs

You are often tempted to ask
others to do what you could
easily do yourself.
It is nice to be waited on, and
you like it.
It is pleasant to request serv'
ice while you fold your hands
and wait for your demands to
be carried out.
Although the one of whom the
service is asked has other duties
to perform, you do not hesitate
to ask the favor.
Sometimes it is a habit with
persons in authority to interfere
with the work of those under
them with requests Of per.
sonal nature which make it
harder for the worker to accom-.
plish his regular tasks.
Such requests are bound to de-
crease production.
Reference IS not made to
those who are hired to attend to
the wants of others.
But it is true that many estab-
1ishments have those who like
to exercise the little authority
they possess.
These same persons will show
It to the extent of interfering

A WOn1anS Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TINE Cleveland Press set out to
Il find the most courageous woman
in Cleveland by asking relatives and
friends to send in nominations. The
result has been a flood of brave
/ records of humble people. So many,
in fact, that it is impossible to select
any one who can claim the title.
The same would be true of every
other city. 1t is not courage we
lack these days, but the penetra-
ton to recognize it.
The sad fact is that we confuse
the spectacular with the courageous.
A daring squirt of valor will be
heralded all over the earth while
the long. slow, steadfastneSs which
distinguishes so many humble men,
bers of the human family is I'M
recorded.
1t takes all kinds Of courage to
make a great people. But. you
may be sure, none has ever been
evolved without the dauntlessness
of those who plod rather than race.
And this particular kind of courage
is most often found in women. Men
have it. of course, but it is a quality
inherent in the feminine. a patient,
dauntleSs. tenacious quality which
has always characterized the So
called softer sex.
