BONUS REQUESTS
 RETURNED HERE
Contradictory Data on Ages Result in Rejec.
 tiOn of Application

Mrs. Edith Ladd, head of the local branch of the American Red Gross, wishes to impress upon the minds of all veterans who have made out bonus applications that the correct age of the applicant is essential be- fore the blank will be approved at national headquarters.
 The local director explained this morning that many of the men who first applied in 1925, in supply, ing information about themselves, falsified their ages. The result of this is the fact that the War De- pertinent and the Bureau of Navi- gation are now returning the re- gently filled blanks to the local office. It was pointed out that when there is but one detail awry in con- nection with an application, the en- tire blank must be filled out again.
 This means a great deal of extra work for the local branch. Finger prints must be taken again, the blanks must be filled out, filing of all blanks must be done and this amount of extra work is an almost impossible task for the local staff. The local director wishes to make it clear to local veterans, then, that correct ages must be given.
