Employment Needed
By War Veterans,
Congress Is Told
Gen. Hines Says Hospital
Gore Is More Desirable
Than Pensions
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, ad-
ministrator of veterans affairs, told
Congress yesterday that sick and
jobless World War veterans need
employment and adequate hospital
care rather than pensions.
In his annual report for the year
ending last June 30 Gen. Hines
said development of a hospitaliza-
ton program and vigorously pur-
sued" employment campaign would
make '.less important any contem-
porary consideration among these
veterans for an extension of other
forms of benefits"
Any program seeking increased
pensions, he warned, should be ap-
preached most carefully.
Gen. Hines said Labor Depart
ment survey laest June showed
443,196 veterans were registered with
employment Offices and were seeking
jobs.
His summary of the hospital sit
uation showed institutions directly
under the administration supervi-
sion have 1891 beds and that 2,521
beds are available in other Gov-
ernment hospitals.
Last June 80, the Hines report
said, pensions were being paid to
War veterans as follows:
Civil War, 5,048; Indian wars,
2,8l4; Spanish American War, Boxer
Rebellion and Philippine Insurrec-
ton, 170755; service connected
World War pensions, 340,59O; non-
service e-connected World War pen
sions, 46,748; peace-time pensions,
33,062.
Although the War OF 1912 ter
minated 1913 years ago, Gen. Hines
said one veterans dependent, Mrs.
Esther Ann Hill Morgan of In

1928, 1929, 1890, 1881 and 1894, with
a wide variety of performances. but
with no menace to lives or property.
Then came a "blow-off" that was
notable not only in its severity, but
in the measures that were taken to
check it.
The activity started shortly after
midnight November 81, 1885, with
what is described in the official Park
Bulletin as rather violent earth
quake" which was felt generally over
the entire Island of Hawaii and on
Maui and Oahu as well. At 7:35 that
evening Mauna Loa erupted in its
northern summit crater-a some
what different performance from the
usual type in late years-and along
the northeast rift from a crack rent
in the mountain side.
Pele was on rampage. The erup-
ton was not only severe, but it was
in. such position that if the lava
flow continued the city of Hilo would
be gravely endangered. The lava
was of both types, the loose or "aa"
pronounced "ah-ah"- type, and
the "pahoehoe" or consolidated form.
The grade toward the sea was sharp
and the flow was relatively rapid. ,
Bombers Retaliate.
After a consultation between the
volcanologist in charge of the OBJ
servatory, DR.. Thomas A. Jaggar, and
other authorities at park headquar-
tiers, recommendation was made that
the lava flow be bombed from the
air. This was approved by wash
ington"-although the proposal was
somewhat shocking to many Ha-
waiians, who retain a considerable
degree of respect for the goddess of
the volcano-and consequently Pele
was attacked by Army planes and
air bombs.
The experiment was a success. At
noon of December q, when the
bombing began, the rate of the lava
advance was 800 feet an hour. Four
hours later it had shrunk to $50 feet
an hour. BY 1890 the next morning
1t was A feet and at 6 o'clock that
afternoon it had ceased altogether.
The total cost of the bombing op-
Grafton was computed at $25, 1000.
The property values liable to de-
struction by the lava flow, if it had
continued to the sea at Hilo, was es-
timated at $51 100000. If there was
the relation of cause and effect be-
tween the bombing and the stoppage
OF the lava flow the cost was assured
ly we'll justified. Inasmuch as many
OF the great flows of the past have
reached the sea, it is not at all un-
likely that this one would have done
so If it had not been bombed. 1t
may be that bombing equipment will
be an established appurtenance of
the Government establishment on
the flank of Mauna Kea.

Burglars Garry Off
450-Pound Safe
Containing $500
Same Tactics Are Used
Twice in Week to
Escape With Loot

A 450-pound safe containing be-
tween $500 and $700 was stolen from
the Office of the Trew Motor Co., at
2101 Fourteenth street NV, early to-
day, apparently by the same burglars
who committed similar robbery in
the 1900 block of Fourteenth street
NV. week ago.
The intruders entered by breaking
a window at the rear of the garage.
Tta safe was heavy enough to re-
quirc two or three men to carry it,
employees said. Detectives today
searched the Office for fingerprints
and the alley behind the garage for
signs of an automobile or truck in
which the loot presumably was car
ried away.
Used Same Tactics.
A week ago burglars employing the
same tactics entered the office of a
real estate firm in the 1900 block of
Fourteenth street NV They ham
mered open one strong box, which
contained only records. The bur-
glars then made off with smaller
safe containing several hundred
dollars.
Police today were holding a 49,
year-old bride and her young hus-
band on charges of grand larceny
after they allegedly signed a con-
fession that they framed a hoid-up
story to obtain $75 from an ice
cream store where the girl was en-
ployed.
In joint statement, police said,
Mrs. Dora Underwood and her hus-
band, Ira R. Underwood, q, car
penter, of the 300 block of F. street
NE, admitted they planned the
hoax and used the money to buy
Christmas presents and to send
home to the girls mother in North
Carolina
Reported Holdups.
On December 81, police said, Mrs.
Underwood reported the money was
taken from her by an armed bandit
after she left the store, in the 1900
block Of H street NE, and started
walking to her home.
The chain stores of the ice cream
company had been victimized so
frequently by robbers that detectives
have paid particular attention to
them. They questioned and reques-
toned Mrs. Underwood on the basis
of certain discrepancies which, they
said, developed in her account of
the holdup.
In the confession, it was said, the
couple admitted that Mrs. Under
wood passed the money to her hus-
band through a rear door at the
store.

After the bath, remove the cream and rinse face and throat with cold water until the skin is pink and tingling, Better yet, wrap . piece of ice In . cloth and SO over your skin with that. Never use fec without first wrapping it In Q cloth.
 Now lie down for ten minutes. first covering your eyes with little cotton pads dipped in eye lotion. Place your feet and legs instead of your head on q couple of pillows,
 When you get up, cover that lump on your chin with Q bit of that special foundation cream you always have on hand for just such emergencies. Apply the rest of your makeup skillfully, remove the curl. CTS, slide Into the prettiest and best dress you own.
