of the volcanic fire in the dark sky
Incendiaries first were sprinkled
and then the great two-ton bombs
started setting bursts in the railroad

were grouped in defense like the
Germans use in the Ruhr, and they
lit the sky as the bombers went In in

Service Officials Ask
Increased Pay for

Wives to Be Excluded

For Children, Others
By J. A. O'LEARY.

Increased Government pay
mentS to the children and de-
pendent parents Of men in the
armed services, without chang
ing the allotment to wives. were
recommended today to a Senate
Military Affairs Subcommittee by
Army and Navy officials, who
preferred this action to the fiat
Is per cent increase in all allot-
mentS proposed by Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachu-
SettS.
A wife without children would
continue to get $50 a month, s2s
from the Government and s22 from
her husbands pay.
For one child the wife would get
$lS instead of the present S12 from
the Government, with $11 instead
Of $40 for each additional child.
If the serviceman leaves children
at home, but no wife. the allot-
ment would be s42 for one child and
sl1 for each additional child. the
total for two or more children to
be equally divided At present the
allotment to one child in this cate
CORY is $40 and $40 for each addi-
tional child.
Reynolds Introduces Bill.
Another innovation is that the
Government would put up the en-
tire $50 for the wife for the first
month, instead of only S28. The
husbands $22 contribution would
start the second month and he
would not have to repay any part
of the first monthly payment.
Another change proposed is that
the three top grades of sergeants be
given the option of coming under
the Allotment and Allowance Act, OF
continuing to receive allowance fol
living quarters.
They were left out of the origina,

ing quarters or an allowance fol
