Rankin Pushes Bill
To Pay Dependents o|
Servicemen al Once
Will Appeal to House
Tomorrow to Make
Allowances Available
Ry ]. A. O'LEARY.

Representative Rankin, Democrat
Of Mississippi will appeal to the
House tomorrow to pass his bill au-
thorizing immediate payment of
servicemen's family allowances in
needy cases, instead of waiting until
after November i.
In making this known last night
Mr.. Rankin revealed that he has
polled the House Military Affairs
Committee by telegraph, with this
result:
II have already received favorable
replies from a ma jority Of the men,
bers and I hope to get similar an
swers from the rest of them be-
tween now and Monday
In the present parliamentary
situation, however, it will be neces-
sary for Mr.. Rankin to obtain
unanimous consent to take up the
measure. Although convening every
third day both houses are marking
time on all except non controversial
questions.
Issue Appeared Sidetracked.
Mr.. Rankin brought the issue OF
earlier payment back into the lime
light just when it appeared to have
been sidetracked in the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee, which con-
sidered the subject Friday but took
no action.
It was at the request of the War
and Navy Departments that Con-
gress wrote into the original law
that no payments be made before
November l and when the Senate
Committee met Friday the military
authorities outlined in greater de-
tail the reasons they believe make
it almost impossible to begin mail
ing out the checks before Novem-
ber !.
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado, who handled the original
legislation, said that unless Con-
gress can be convinced it will oe
feasible to make payments earlier
that November l, it is not likely
the law will be changed.
"The War Department says it is
practically impossible to set up the
organization to make payments he
fore November and Congress has to
be guided by what they say they
can do" Senator johnson added.
Vast Amount of Work.
In the case of the Army alone, the
Senate committee was told there
will be more than 100000 checks
to be mailed each month, and Of
ficials explained that before pay
ments can start the War and Navy
Departments must examine the. ap-
plicatioiis coming in either from the
soldier or from his dependents, to
be reasonably sure payments are
being made in accordance with the
law.
A wife is entitled to the $22 allot-
ment from the soldiers pay plus the
Government $28 allowance, re-
gardless of dependency, but in the
case of parents, sisters or other
relatives, the allotments vary in
amount and are based on depend
ency:
Benefits are to be retroactive to
June /. For this reason, the War
Department points out, all of the
preliminary work done to date has
involved computations to cover the
retroactive period. Work has been
completed on a limited number of
applications, but officials point out
that If immediate payments were
authorized, even these cases would
have to be recomputed to cover only
the period from June to date and
this would further delay the entire
job.

WOMEN'S CLUB
CHATTER

Over $4,000 in loans 10 81 girls
Is now outstanding from the
Scholarship Loan Fund of the
Montgomery County Federation of
Women's Clubs, it was revealed at
meeting of the official board of
the Federation held at the home of
Mrs. Allan Gardner, custodian of
the fund.
These loans are made to assist
girls through college, and much
satisfaction was expressed at the
promptness of the girls with a
few exceptrons) in repaying the
debt as soon as they secured en-
ployment, thus releasing the funds
for assistance to more girls.
With Mrs. Vestus ]. Wilcox,
president of the Fifth District
Federation, presiding, the official
board ruled that there will be no
meeting of the executive board this
Fall. To save gas and tires all
business is to be conducted by cor
respondence.

H. Small of Laytonsville as chair

the preservation of the antiquities

of Mrs. C. Russell Shetterly as

Mrs. Shetterly, as president of
the Woman's Club of Silver Spring
was the first to streamline her

conserving tires and gas, meas
ure that has now been adopted by

which she had cut from its frame
in the White House.
A bronze marker on the front
porch of the large, white painted
brick house now states that Presi-
dent Madison and his Attorney
General, Richard Rush, stayed
there August 26 and 27, 1914, fol-
lowing the burning of public build
ings in Washington by the British.
On the wall of the large, old
fashioned hall there is framed
facsimile of letter dated Brooke
vile, August 81, 1914, written by
the President to his wife, who pre-
sumably was in Westinghouse
any rate not with him.
President Madison spoke in this
letter of visiting Montgomery
Court House, as Rockville was
known in that day and finding
our army gone, came here hoping
to join it,. He goes on to say he
found a line from Col. Monroe
saying the enemy had gone and
advising a return to the capital"
This explodes the story that
Dolly ever spent a night at the
'Dolly Madison House" as some
still persist in calling it. And we
recently read that when the Stuart
portrait was cleaned many years
later it was conclusively proved
that the picture of Washington
had never been cut from the
frame.

we usually sip something cooling
and nibble at something sweet
like chocolate pinwheels. These
can be made most any time, in
fact, roll of the dough can be
kept indefinitely in your refriger-
ator and you can serve fresh
baked cookies at will.
11a cups sifted flour
II teaspoon double acting baking

rs teaspoon salt
" cup butter or shortening
h cup sugar
l egg yolk, unbeaten
3 tablespoons milk
1 square unsweetened chocolate,

baking powder and salt, and sift
again. Cream butter thoroughly,
add sugar gradually and cream
together until light and fluffy.
Add egg yolk and beat well. Add
flour, alternately with milk mix
ing well after each addition. Di-
vide dough in two parts. To one
part, add chocolate and blend.
Chill until firm enough to roll.
Roll each half into rectangular
sheet, 1s-inch thick, and place
plain sheet over chocolate sheet.
Then roll as for jelly roll. Chill
over night or until firm enough
to slice. Cut in 1s-inch slices.
Bake on unglazed baking sheet

Standing in line can be fun-if
one does not have to stand too
long-we found that out Saturday
as we waited for our supper at
Orndorff Hall in Brookeville,
where the ladies of st. Johns
Church in Olney were staging
their annual benefit supper-fried
chicken, country ham, corn pud-
ding and all.
The line formed outside, and
one step at the time we went up
two flights of steps, meanwhile
meeting line coming down. The
hall was once the elementary
school of Brookeville, purchased by
the Methodist Church when
member of the family for whom it
is named bequeathed them sum.
We hope someone will soon leave
them a sufficient amount to make
another entrance, or even an exit
for surely one of these days the
balustrade will break and precipit-
ate a crowd from the second land
ing into the basement.
On the first landing we met the
parson in a racy looking coat-as
we were sandwiched in between
half a dozen Candidates" Mr.. Rib
BILE Immediately asked what we
were running for"-and it was
the next day before the obvious re-
tort "for our supper occurred to
US.

the crowd with a basket of sup
plies, and DR.. Stephen Beebe, al
ways ready for bit of fun. i'm

TO do his handshaking for him.
Needless to say Mr.. Lansdale had
good comeback for each of them.
Forest Walker was the first of
three people to ask if we brought
the Sugar Loaf Mountain back
with us from New York. Lacy
Shaw treated twenty women, head
ed by Miss Evie Howard and Mis-
Margaret, to ice-cream and we

for our st. Bartholomew's supper
Saturday evening.

to residents the burning of the
