moral of the picture by report
ing: This picture showed what
loyalty the people of Brooklyn
have for their baseball team"
Donald Weber's thrill came at
the very end of the feature.
Weber states: "They had the
count of three and two on the
batter and the Brooklyn pitcher
struck him out"
Fred Boyer was impressed on
how team work will win a
game, while Elwood Allor
thought that mixing in a little
love-making on the part of the
manager and owner detracted
from the thrills of the game.
Lucas Charbeneau was loud
in his praise for the batboy who
stands solidly behind the mana
ger in all the many difficulties
the team encounters while fight
ing from last place to be a pen
nant contender in the days Of
the seasons race for the flag.
Judging from the pleased ex-
pressions of the audience as
they filed out of the Macomb
Theatre last night, ut Hap
pened In Flatbush" Is the kind
of a baseball picture that will
thrill young and old in every

line sergeant, and in the navy
to men up to and including third
class petty officers. 1t provides
aid to two groups of dependents,
defined as Class A and Class B.
In the former are wives and chill
dren and former wives entitled
to alimony; i'll the latter are par
ents, brothers, sisters and grand
children.
Pay deductions of $22 a month
are mandatory when a service
man has Glass A dependents. To
this the government adds $28
for a wife, plus $12 for the first
child and $40 for each addition
al child; $40 for a child but no
wife, and $40 for each addition
al motherless child. Deductions
for Class B dependents are OPP
tienal. They amount to $22 if
there are no Glass A dependents
and SGT if there are such depend
ents.
Before the family allowance
bill was enacted many soldiers
were making voluntary allot-
ments from their pay to depend
ents. These were known as
Class E allotments. Orders have
gone out that if Glass E and other
allotments (such as insurance,
laundry, etc. are of such size
that the prescribed deduction of
S22 or SGT cannot be made and
leave soldier at least $40 a
month for his personal use, ex-
elusive of possible court martial
forfeitures, it will be necessary
to discontinue or adjust the vol
untaly allotments.
PREVENT HARDSHIP
However, to prevent hardship
resulting from discontinuance of
the voluntary sums and defer
ment of family allowance pay
ments until Nov. /, the war de-
partment has authorized its
chief of finance to discontinue
Class E deductions Immediately
and to continue monthly pay
ments of a similar sum from
date of discontinuance through
Sept. 30, 1912. The sums thus
paid dependents will then be
deducted from the initial fam
lily allowance payment.
Col. Hughes, graduate of
West Point in 1909 who spent
Is months in France in the first
World War, says the new law is
going to be administered with
some "horse sense" so that fam
lilies will be cared for and the
men still have some spending
money from their newly hiked
pay of $50 month.
The army's hurriedly formed
family allowance division is
sending its employees to school
to learn the new law and it soon
will be boosted from 1865 to
2,400 employees. The navy prob
ably will follow the army pat
tern in getting the machinery
started.

June deductions at those camps
may be spread over three or
four months.
Government cash benefits are
being added to these pay allot-
ments, but both will be allow

Nurses Enjoy
Good Laugh
in Philippines
BY RUTH COWAN

WASHINGTON, July 8-P)-
Not all was terror and horror
for the army nurses while in the
Philippines. There was an &C.
casional laugh.
Lieut.. Mary G Lohr of Brock
ton, Mass, one Of Is nurses just
decorated for bravery in the
Philippine campaign told today
of one such instance.
Because their white uniforms
made them too observable from
the air, the army had issued the
women khaki overalls, in size
AZ it so happened.
One April day plane which
managed to slip in now and then
with mail, brought a big package
addressed to Edith Shacklette, a
Kentucky woman in the nursing
corps.
Miss Shacklette was on duty,
wearing her overalls, a sash tied
around her middle to keep them
under control, when she got the
wonderful news.
I'm fact" said Lieut.. Lohr,
call Bataan soon knew Shack
had a package. A crowd gath
cred.
When she could get the crowd
back she opened the package, all
done up in Christmas wrappings
and mailed from the states in
October.
There was a black hat and
veil and a note from a friend,
wife of an army officer in the
states, that she might like to
have it to wear to look nice in
when she locked in San Fran
cisco. Shack put it on.
"There she stood 1875
pound blonde wearing a size AZ
khaki overall, far too big regu-
lar army shoes, topped with this
black hat. That was a laugh.
She laughed too"
But what Miss Lohr didn't
tell at that moment was that
SHACK" was not one of the
nurses ordered out. She stayed
behind with the wounded - a
prisoner of the Japanese.
