 branch of the Red Cross with
 the dissemination of information
 concerning the status of service
 men or their relatives. The Wa
 terbury Democrat is publishing
 answers to the most frequent
 questions received by that branch
 of the local chapter of The Amer
 ican Red Cross. This is the tenth
 installment.
 e. My husband is in the Army and my eighteen-year-old son is in the Navy. Am I entitled to allot- mlents from them both?
 A. The wife of a soldier whose rank is from private to m/sergeant receives as a matter of right Class A allowance. You would be eligible to receive a voluntary Class E allotment from your son since he would contribute all of 1t from his service pay. In order to receive Class B or Class B-1 allowance from your son he would have to consent to a $22.000 monthly deduc- tion from his pay and you would have to submit evidence of depend- ency on him. The Bureau of Sup plies and Accounts of the Navy de- partment would determine whether you were eligible for the Class B or B-1 allowance from your son.
 @. I was recently discharged from the Army. Before my enlist ment was attending 8 university. Would I be entitled to free tuition under the G-I bill, as I would like to return and obtain my degree?
 A. Any eligible veteran will be entitled to one year retraining or refresher course, if you were under twenty-five years of age at the time of your entrance into service and your education was considered in- terrupted or delayed. You, of course, would have to meet the entrance requirements of the school you se' lect. You would be eligible for as many additional periods of edu- cation as would correspond with the length of your service. The total years.
 e. How soon may the next kin expect to learn that a soldier re- ported missing in action has been taken prisoner, and how long after that will 1t be before his permanent camp address is known?
 3. In the case of Germany, noti- flcation of capture, with the perma- nent camp address, has usually been received within three months. Re- gently, however, the German re- porting service appears to be much slower. In the last few weeks many relatives have received the first notice of capture in letter from the serviceman sent from a Ger man camp. In such cases. relatives should promptly notify the office of the Provost Marshal General, War Department, Washington 25, D. C., and enclose photostatic copy (showing both sides) or the original of the prisoners communi- cation.

McLemore-
Finds 1t Easy to Get
Hotel in New York
By Henry McLem ore

If you are coming to New York
in the near future, there are several
valuable tips I can give you. Bring
a mattress with you. no matter how
bulky it makes your luggage. And
bring blankets, sheets, and a bath
room. AS matter of fact, If you
can manage to bring your whole
house or apartment with you, you'll
be wise, because there simply isn't
anywhere in New York to stay.
At present, New York has more
people In it than any other city i'll
the world. There isn't one room
available of any sort. I had heard
of this situation. but I came up with
a jaunty air, because I am one Of
those fellows who knows people
who say they know people who
can always get you room.
At the moment, I am living in
the Pennsylvania station. That's no
fooling. stayed in the Grand Gen.
trail station for the first few days,
but a man who had tried them both
told me that I would find friend
lier, II less fashionable set, at the
Pennsy, and that the train caller
at the Pennsylvania had a much
softer and more pleasing voice.
Gives Wife the Good News.
When my wife arrived and asked
me where was staying, I was able
to give her the good news that we
didn't have to take one of those mis-
cradle taxi rides through New York's
crowded streets to hotel, but that
she was right at home at the mo-
ment-that we were staying right
where she was.
1t was not without pride that
swept my arm toward the vastness
Of the Pennsylvania Station and
said: This is our little nest All
Of it Is ours. Make yourself at
home"
We have one Of the incest little
benches in New York, II I say it
myself. 1t has four-way ventilation.
hot and cold running red caps. and
We are sharing 1t with one Of the
incest little couples you ever met.

land, Greg, and is here to clinch a

last train for Philadelphia pulls out.

Time Table Mattress.
At hrst the benches were a little
hard, and we tossed q great deal
during the night. But bit of In
genuity fixed that. We now all have
mattresses of inner-spring time
tables. and the two wives have made
us patchwork quilts Of ticket stubs.
There Is no trouble about keeping
our clothes pressed. Usually between
midnight and dawn enough sailors
and soldiers sit on us to keep a
sharp crease in our clothes.
Happy as we are in Pennsylvania
station, there are certain disadvan-
tages. There isn't great deal Of
privacy, for one thing, and when you
ask friends to drop in and visit you
they sometimes have a great deal
Of trouble finding your bench. Too,
life in Pennsylvania station is con-
fining. II you leave your bench you
run the risk of losing 1t to some
envious man or woman who has been
standing up two or three days, or
keeping house on top of his luggage.

it in a minute, but we are not fools.
We know when we are we'll of.
We don't know what to do about
tonight. Some of our friends who
are living on the Central Park
benches with a nice view of the lake
and ZOO, have asked us to dinner
party We'd love to 60, but both Of
us don't dare leave the bench at
the same time.
