men to their families. The contracts being cost-plus affairs, the Navy is paying these wages in the long run
 In March, however, payments from the Navy contractors were dis- continued. In their places were sub. stituted benefit payments which came from q $5 million fund set aside by the President from hit emergency money to provide tem- porary aid recessltated by enemy action affecting American civilians outside the U. s. other than aliens and dependents of men in service. SCALE FOR
 THE FUTURE
 i The job of passing out these benefits was given 10 the Old AgC and Survivors Insurance Bureau oi the Social Security Board which investigated all the claims md seI up this scale of benefit payments:
 For a wife or widow, not less thar $50 and not more than S45 pei month, depending oil the mans sal' ary.
 For each child, not less than SIG and not mole than $l5.
 For one parent who had been al least half dependent, not less thar $20 and not more than $30; for ( second parent, not less than $1t and not more than S22.b0,
 Maximum payments for the de. pendents of any one person, from SG6.67 to not more than S85. wife widow and children being given pre-. ference over parents in all pay ments.
 Nearly HOO dependents of some 700 of the Wake and Guam work men arc now receiving these pay inents.
 This scale of benefits Is based on the payments made by the Old Age and Survivors Bureau in It's regu. lar course of business.
 This is temporary, emergency payment but it also is the scale called for in q bill introduced bS Senator Claude Pepper. Of Florida and now pending in Congress foi relief of civilian distress arising o1t Of the present war. Tn other words this is the scale which 1t is pro. posed to pay the dependents oi Amercian citizens who may be kill. ed, injured or taken prisoner aS q result of enemy actions-bomblngs raids, or all-out offensives--againSt any point on the continental United States, It's possessions and terri. tories. It is the most far-reaching piece Of legislation ever considered by any country in time of war. A PLUM FOR FSA
 Administration of this net is put in the hands of the federal security administrators V. McNutt at present and it would further strengthen the position of FSA as being the big social benefit agency of the government. No limitation i8 put upon the expenditures and it is impossible to estimate what the costs will be. for 10 one can anti cipate how many civilians are 20. ing to be killed or injured in the 1 war.
 The bill goes for beyond mere per. sonal injury, however, in that 1t nu- thorizes assistance to civilians wio have suffered loss of or damage to their clothing, tools living quarters furniture, and real or personal property. What this amounts Co ia that If a bomb fragment rips the seat out of your brooches Of culottes as the sex may be, you'll be able to file claim and probably collect from your big.hearted Uncle Sam who would also pay your hospital bills If the bomb bites into you,

New Jersey is flirting with the idea Of making a three-man State Highway Com- mission instead of the present single commisslonership If we're not mistaken this was a moot topic here in Connecticut a quarter of a century ago and resulted in some sharp political repercussions in Republican ranks. Both our Highway and Motor Vehicles Departments are headed by single commissioners.

Somewhere In The Vast Pacific,
April, 1912.
Dear Auntie and Uncle:
I received your letter written in
January just a few days ago. I am
very glad to learn that you both
are well, and getting along nicely.
Palm Sunday, our battery held
their church services out in the
open, under the palm trees. This
is the first time in my life that 1
ever sat down under palm trees to
listen to Palm Sunday services, and
I think it quite an experience.
Don't you?
The weather out here has been
inc. Most of the time the temper
yture stands at so degrees. Some
afternoons, under the hot sun, it
limbs a number of points higher.
IN the whole, however, the climate
very pleasant.
So far, l think that l have been
rather lucky. have not been sick
one single day since we landed.
The first few days I spent aboard
ship, 1 suffered with a slight cold,
but since then I've felt fine. One
thing-you don't have to worry
about me being out in the cold.
Not like it was when we were sta
toned up in the New England
States.
Here, / have the opportunity to
go in swimming almost every day.
The shing is excellent, but seldom
have the chance to enjoy this.
Uncle should be out here, he would
certainly find lot of pleasure in
this sport.
The country surrounding us has
an abundant supply of fresh fruits.
Most any kind that you might i'm
agine, that can be grown in a elm
ate like this. I know that both of
you would like this.
I will close now with the hope
that this letter finds you and Uncle
both well and happy. Please write
again soon. And, when you write
to James, kindly give him my adj
dress.
AS ever,
Your Nephew,
James l.. Cubbage.
The above letter was received by
Mr.. and Mrs. Linwood Clark, Clay
ton, Delaware, to whom Dribbles is
indeed grateful for having passed
it along. The sender, James L.
