Coyle Post. American Legion, of this city, holds to the opinion that out of the bitter controversy an ac- ceptable compromise bill will be adopted shortly. MT McDuff was the guest speaker of the Water bury Democrat at it's weekly radio interview period over WATR yes tcrday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock.
 MT McDun denounced the char acteriZation of the veterans cam paign for adjusted compensation as a raid on the U. $. treasury He claimed that the ex-service men of the country wore justly entitled to the compensation for service ren- dercd," particularly as the present national administration showed evident signs of being on "a spend ing orgy" and that many banks and public utilities were being aid ed in these critical times. Mir Me Duff also expressed the opinion that If given the bonus thousands of veterans would be rehabllitated, financially. would meet their pres ent indebtedness. thereby helping countless merchants. and would spend wisely. thereby promoting business as intended Joy the Var iOus features and subdivisions of the NRA.
 There is no doubt in Mr Me Duff's mind that the majority of cx-servicemen are in favor of the immediate payment of the bonus and he is strongly of the opinion that the U. s. government can de- visc a system of payment as 10 better economic conditions in the country

Professor Trevor Kincaid of the
University of washington zoology de-

department that the Black Widow spi-
der prefers dry, dimly lighted place
for it's home and is found in dry areas
of eastern Washington and in San
Juan county, Island county and on
WILDLY Island west of Coupeville.
The leg span is usually from an inch
and one-half to two inches and only
slightly less than that in breadth. Its
smooth, glossy black body is rarely
more than half-inch long. The alb
domen Is globular, thus resembling a
shoe button in appearance. The most
common markings on it's under side
usually consist of two brick-red, more
rarely yellow or orange, triangular
spots, point to point, looking very
much like an hour glass.

HOUR GLASS SPIDERS

The black widow spider, also known
as the hourglass and shoe button
spider has been blamed for one per-
sons death and the serious infection
of another in western Washington
during the past week. Although in
these cases there is some question con-
corning the source of infection, the
black widow has caused deaths and
it is recommended that means be ia
ken to exterminate them wherever
found to prevent possible deaths from

SLAVENS JOURNEY
ACROSS CONTINENT
Continued from page y

lunl, ETC.
Owing to the immense traffic near
New York (the man at the service sta
every "a hours-the most congested
traffic in the United States) we arrived
in New York later than we had planned
and couldn't do justice to the city. At
Philadelphia we visited the old State
House containing the Liberty Bell.
Philadelphia is spread over an i'm
mense amount of ground but down
town there are many narrow one-Way
traffic streets.
In Washington, DC, we took the
elevator up to the top of the WASH
ington Monument and then walked
down the fifty stories in order to see
the state seals carved in stone. Wash
ington's is 80 feet high. We sat in
the House of Representatives as Spea-
ker Byrns closed the session. We Wis
tied the new Hall of Justice, the new
Post Office building, including Post
master General Farley's private office.
One enjoys most the cities where
one is entertained but of all cities, we
liked st. Paul and Minneapolis best.
The Women's Club Building of st. Paul
was so very modern interior decora-
lions, furniture, etc. My Milwaukee,
cousins, my brothers family in Chi
cago and Rays Ottumwa relatives and
friends all made our stay very pleasant
re
scenery, Niagara Falls being the most
wonderful We crossed many rivers but
they seemed muddy in comparison with
the Snake and Columbia. The drink
ing water in the West seems colder
and purer and there is a bigness about
our western scenery. The farms and
farmhouses around Twin Falls, Idaho,
seemed prosperous and new. The Blue
Hills in eastern Oregon seemed gil
gantic in comparison with Jne eastern
hills In spite of all the historic places
of the East, one can not help agreeing
that if our forefathers had seen the
West first, there would have been no
settlement in the East.
There is so much shifting of popula-
ton that one finds all classes of peo-
pie in each state and we found them
extremely courteous and pleasant.
While in the Tabernacle at Salt Lake
City, Utah, we had a dunnage bag OF
soiled clothing and sheets and new
sleeping bag stolen from the back of
the car but we were thankful they
were unable to take the large suit
cases, also that it happened at the
end of the trip rather than at the
I beginning We saw several trucks after
they had turned over in the ditch
and several cars that were demolished
and we can be thankful we returned
home safe and sound.
Tourist cabins are more expensive
in the East and have no cooking priv
ileges so it costs more, but gasoline is
cheaper. The total cost of the trip
including everything, clothing bought
ETC.. was 1928 Not counting depreci-
alton this would be 3R cents per mile
for each person. We travelled 699o
miles and made the trip from Wash
ington, DC, home in six days of ac-
tual travelling.
