The bord bill was passed after
the Senate had approved, by voice

tending schools and colleges. This
measure now goes to the House
The school subsistence bill
would cos. about S217,000, 1000 a

sistence allowance for single vet
erans from $65 to $75 a month,
for married veterans from $50 to

with children from $50 to $12O.
The bond cash;ng bill was
strongly supported by Sen. Robert
A. Taft, R., O., who said failure
to enact The Republican tax reduc-
ton bill left he treasury with
more than $4,000, ,OOO,O 900 to apply
on the national debt. The G.I.

DEBT.
THE patment of these bonds
will reduce the debt just as much
as the payment of any other
bonds" Taft said. ''It is true that
is slightly more inflationary than
he payment of bonds and notes
held by banks, but in my opinion
the payment of $4,000, 100000 of
debt ip a single year out of taxes
collected from the people is too
deflationary and it will be advan-
tageous to have part Of this mon

According to the Chicago
Daily Times, we can pack up
our troubles in our old kit bag
and smile smile smile. The rea-
son??? It's very simple: Amer
lea has Is million babies, and
babies mean prosperity.
The experts seem to have it
all figured out. 1t means more
money being spent for baby
food and baby clothes. And
that's good for business. Even
more, it means building boom.
As the paper says, quoting the
experts: "Mr. and Mrs. Hypo-
thetical must move out of their
one room apartment when Jul
nior comes along. They must
find bigger place to live.
People are becoming couples,
then families. More families
need more places to live. They
also need more furniture for
their homes and for the babies.
All this, Mors said, makes for
prosperity. :"
AS I remember, it didn't work
quite that way for our family
back, in 1888. If my memory
serves me right, we had no end
