Unfair Decisions Under
Disabled Veteran Laws
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
Several letters in The Star from World
War veterans who are victims of in
equitable rulings prompts me to state my
own case in an effort to focus attention
upon the need for fairer decisions under
the laws governing compensation Tor dis
abled veterans.
On May 4, 1917, enlisted in the Regu-
lar United States Navy as fireman, sec
ond class and was stationed on the u S.
8. De Kalb Army transport. In Sep
tember I was found guilty OF being alb
sent after my leave had expired. In 1918
was transferred to the U. s. 8. Lykens,
patrolling the Azores. August l, 1918, I
was stricken with flu and was sent to the
New London Naval Hospital, where de-
veloped bronchial pneumonia When I
was sent back to the U. SIS. Lykens at
Brooklyn I was denied acceptance be-
cause OF my physical and mental condi-
tion and was transferred to Bay Ridge,
where they kept me five days before
sending me to the convalescent station
at Ellis Island and confining me In a
psychopathic ward. Later I was allowed
to draw $25 to 60 on sick leave
1t is claimed that when returned to
Ellis Island was transferred to the U. s.
s. Freedom. The ships log does not
state the date of my arrival nor the
date OF my separation, but does show
that received liberty February %, 1919.
While suffering from active tuberculosis
and mental arrangement was arrested
by civil authorities, convicted OF crime
OF which I was innocent and sentenced
to prison. During the % months I re-
malned in prison / was treated for tuber-
culosis and was not allowed to work My
enlistment expired while was in prison,
and under the Navy statute of limitation
l was recorded as deserter, although the
Navy Department was notified that I was
in prison
In 1923 applied for aid at the Omaha,
Nebr.. recruiting station, but was re-
fused help. At Jackson, Miss I was
placed in the State Hospital for the In
sane, where after 80 days OF observation
I was diagnosed as sane, but suffering
from tuberculosis and was advised to 20
10 higher altitude. went to the Gen.
eral Hospital in Los Angeles
When in 1928 again appealed to the
Navy for help because of disabilities con-
tracted In line Of duty was handed an
undesirable discharge" without a court
martial. The proclamation of amnesty
| issued by President Coolidge In 1924
| should have removed any charge Of de-
| sertion on my record. But I am barred
| from receiving compensation because I
| received an undesirable discharge "
The law says that desertion must be
| proved by court-martial, but was given
no such trial

composed Of municipal officials, to pre-
pare estimates on the amount of reve-

bill as it passed the House. Existing esti-
mates, especially those made in connec-

remarkable for their elasticity, showing
variation Of as much as 4 hundred per
cent and suggesting that some of them
were arrived at by crystal gazing. The
House having added q, punitive tax on
chain stores and thrown in some soak

Let your job take hold OF you. Let 1t

This is excellent advice, but subject to
amendment. Is it blind alley job? Or
is 1t something that leads to better

Dust Drifts.

Drifting thru life dust of this and that
Obscures the vision, and we see
The things that ought to be fair and
sweet
AS thru glass, imperfectly.
Sometimes the dust of imagined wrongs
Drifts into throats and chokes us there:
Often the dust Of some memory
Pulls at the heart-strings until they
tear.
But there is very lovely drift
That never the base or sad will yield:
The gold dust blown BY Summer wind
From the heart Of daisies IA TIE deld.

 Sometimes this kind of an erup- ton or irritation is seen between the fingers, and quite frequently 1t appears between the toes.

 When the skin once becomes se- riously rubbed and chafed, 1t be- comes much more easy for infec- tions of various kinds to gain en- trance so that quite frequently there is secondary infection.
 The usual appearance of the skin in the condition called cry thema intertrigo, which merely means chafing between two folds of skin, Is the loss of the ordinary dull tone of the skin and instead the appearance of a tissue that is smooth, shiny, slightly reddened and somewhat moist.
 Obviously the treatment of this condition involves first of all pre- vention. The methods of prevention will occur, of course, to anyone. The rubbing of the two surfaces must be prevented. If it is 8 matter of wear. ing shoes that are too tight, that is easily corrected. If the rubbing occurs because of overweight. 1t is obvious that reduction of the weight is exceedingly important.
 Because the skin has been de- nuded of its upper layers by the rubbing, the use of caustic soaps of any kind is usually forbidden.

 Perc Westmore, famous Hollywood makeup expert, agrees that the oval face Is the ideal type, and by show ing special charts in his own book let, endeavors to teach the woman with an oval face how to apply makeup in such 6 way as to drama tize her best features.
 "If you have an oval face, don't part your hair too low" says MT Westmore. Don't draw 1t back tightly from the face. or wear bangs or dips. These make the oval face appear xounder. Keep your hairdress simple, preferably with Q center part and enough fullness at the sides to make 6 soft frame for the face. Never hide 0 widows peak -- 1t gives the face 0 heart-shaped piquancy."
 The makeup artist advises against plucking eyebrows until they become thin, hard, arched lines. Their natural shHpe should 1luv U6 VkA&klkeu " &AAb AAAO ~ AS v mistake ever to shave them of, then pencil on artificial ones. Pluck only the hairs which grow across bridge of the nose and down on lids.
 The oval-faced woman never should apply rouge in Q circle or use any color ct oil on her chin. Rouge should 90 in c modified tri- angle, following the oval outline of the cheek and extending up- ward to create Q faintly rosy glow directly below the eyes.
 Don't apply lipstick in such ca manner as to make a Cupids bow or 6 round rosebud of your mouth. The whole idea is to pre- serve as many soft, oval lines as possible. Make lips look full end natural, not too bright"
 Among screen stars, Barbara Stanwyck and Claire Trevor pos- sess perfect oval faces. Bette Davis cxempllfies on interesting variation of this type. Bette's face is c round oval.

EASY ON THE SKIN
 Many individuals who have 6 dry, irritable skin, especially in the wi1as ter season or while living in Q ncrths ern climate, suffer . great deal from burning and itching of the skin for hours sometimes after bathing. A cream, formula of which was sug- eested by the late Dr. L. D. Bulk lev, distinguished New York dern1a' tolcRist, has been praised for the relief it has given thousands of such sufferers. This is the formula:
 I,anoliae ,,.......... 1 ounce
 Horoglyceride !...:... M ounce
 Cold cream, enough to make four
 ounces of cream. "
 If itching is intense from Ave tt ten grains of Ynenthol may Do added l to the formula. Label: Skin cream | for irritation Of skin after oath.

compliment comes our way. Tt real- ly isn't well.knitted," we say to the friend who compliments US on OUT handiwork. "see oil of those drop ped stitches" And where does that leave the admiring friend, if not right on the brink of protesting that the dropped stitches don't show at all? We shouldn't make the person who is gracious enough to give us 6 compliment waste his time and energy urging Us to accept 1t.
 There is aiso the childish sort Of compliment-receiver. When she is told: "What a becoming hatl" she says in Polly Parrot fashion, T like yours, too" That makes the compli- ment c swap, 6 fair enough ex. change, but then neither person eEi- joys the pleasure of giving.
 We might take Q lesson from the southern negro when 1t comes to accepting compliments graciously' When go out in the kitchen after e satisfying meal and say, "Peora, those were wonderful biscuits" what does fat, black Peora say? They'd a been Q lot better if had put in les Q little mo- bakin' powder"? Not Peora. She smiles from one side of her black face to the other and says, pleased as e child, T sho' am glad you liked dem biscuits"
 Of course we don't have to man. age that wide 6 grin to seem pleas ed. Nor do we have to fall into an imitation of Roark Bradford dialect. But we might do well to take 6 lesson from black Peora's manner. A manner that says simply and sincerely, "Your approval makes me glad" .
 But forget the lesson If you are one of those persons, rare in any community. who has no patience with compliments. Because if you accept praise graciously, praise is going to come your way every chance 1t gets.
