lou OF veterans might be okayed
for flying school by one regional
office while lot of others might
be turned down by another, even
though the complete justifica-
ton" they had to submit might be
substantially the same.
The same VA official, however,
disagreed with me when I said
I couldn't see any big change in
the new setup over the old. Here
is why 1t seems to me that the
new system is going to run into
much the same difficulty:
II a regional office feels that
there is substantial evidence"
that flight-training course will
not help veteran in his work
it can turn down a veterans ap-
plication.
Suppose you were the regional
official who had to make the de-
cision. The case involves a shoe
maker who operates one shop. He
gets his affidavits signed by two
competent, disinterested persons"
and turns them in to you. The
aff1davits, which are sworn to be-
fore a notary public, are complete
in every detail. They say that
the shoemaker veteran plans to
open branch shops in three cities
and will need private pilots
license in order to get from city
to city-when his branch stores
are open!
Would you give that veteran
permission to take flight training
under the CT bill? Maybe you
would, but lot of people wouldn't.
They'd feel that substantial evi-
dence" existed that fight training
and private pilots license would
mot help that veteran in his pres
ent or contemplated livelihood.
If the request was turned down,
the veteran could do one of two
things: Appeal to the Board Of
Veterans Appeals, or take advise
ment and guidance at his regional
VA Office in an effort to produce
complete justification that the
flight training would, in fact, give
a boost to his capacity to earn
Ia living.
That's what he had to do under
the old setup. He had to submit
complete justification.
It doesn't seem to me that there
is much difference between meet
ing the Substantial evidence"
test and meeting the complete
justification" test.
The official talked to says that
Congress has expressed a definite
desire to give flight training to
veterans and that the intent of
Congress will make a big differ
ence in deciding individual cases.
1t is interesting to note, how
ever, that Congress discarded the
first f1ight-training change it con-
sidered. That would have forced
VA to accept just one certificate,
from the veteran, saying the train
ing would help him in making a
living. AS finally passed, the new
law goes much further than that.
And the Substantial evidence"
clause gives VA quite a bit Of
leeway.

In sad and loving remembrance Of
my dear son, Private Samuel A. Mat
theWs, Jr., who went to rest four
years ago, January %, 1914:
Four years have gone,
Death bade us part;
But, dear Samuel, all the changes
Cannot take you from our hearts.
1t is lonesome here without you,
And sad the weary way
For life is not the same to us,
Since you were called away.
In our hearts your memory fingers,
Tender, kind and true;
There is not a day, Samuel,
That we do not think Of you.
Though your smiles are gone forever.
And your face we can not touch:
We will never lose sweet memories
OF the one we loved so much.
Samuel. heaven must be a wonderful
place
With Someone like you up there,
God needed a rose i'm His garden
That's why He took you there.
Never could 1 bear the parting,
Only for His promise given; -
So, some day, Samuel, wen be to-
gether
In that blessed home called Heaven.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by

man she could ever love. With
death staring her in the face
she realized this to be a fact.
She put her arms around Rays
neck and told him exactly how
she felt.
An hour later Sheila dropped off
into a doze. When she awoke she
was lying on a couch before blaz-
ing fire. Ray was feeding her hot
soup.
No one could have believed Ray
Sharon capable of stratagem. He
was too definitely catalogued.
Which is why not even Sheila sus-
pected that he had planned 1t all !;
that he knew about the camp, had
stocked it with firewood and pro-
visions, had stalled his car on pur-
pose, had removed most of the fuel.
It had required a courage which
he had never suspected he DOS
sessed to cash in on his assets.

Sheila thought this would be a

way and cut through the woods.
But neither anticipated that the
storm would reach such proper
tons. Two miles from the highway
they got stuck.
Ray didn't mince matters. He
confronted the situation squarely.
The chances were even that both
would perish. At any rate, he had
something he wanted to ask Sheila
in case he didn't get chance later
on.
He asked It. Sheila thought

Oh, Can You See by the Lawns Early Blight?
BATTLES THE THIRSTY BLADES
By H. ]. PHILLIPS

= duchess Of tho sprinkler. Tho
lawn L. her first thought ut
dawn and her last at night.
Famous battlers for great human
causes have shown less energy.
Fighters to ease the plight Of I'M
dernourished peoples have shown
no greater energy. Yes, . water
famine Is threatened, families are
urged to 60 easy, orphan asylums
and hospitals have been cautioned
to watch the outlets, but with Miss
Pridgett her grass Il "must,"
with top priority. Lincoln showed no
greater concern for the slaves.
Clara Barton was no more Jealous
for the sick and wounded.
She was marked. Her mother was
frightened by a bare patch In 4
green hall runner or something.
She has a bare-patch complex.
Were she with Noah in the flood,
she would have come aboard the
ark with two lengths Of hose and
LWo SpTulAeIS.
Her lawn is an astoundingly vivid
green when everything else in
holyhock heights Is sere and drab.
You can see her busy about it
morning, noon and night, every
fiber Of her being astir over the
thought one little blade may be
thirsty. She is haunted by a fear
of dry patch. One hose is not
enough. Miss Pridgett has two. And
her second love is the sprinkler.
She likes the wide, full-throated,
fast-revolving type. When not
watering the lawn she goes win
dow shopping for new automatic
sprinkler models.
A grand canal mood marks her
premises. "It Amt Gonna Rain No
More" is her theme song. She
shoots the waterworks not only on
dry hot days but even when 1t
rains. Her faith in providence and
the elements is shaky. Let it rain
all night and she is out there with
the hose in the morning.
Miss Pridgett's slogan Is "The
HOSE must 60 on!"

brown eyes and a sensitive mouth.
He worked as clerk in the South
port Trust Company. There was q
future there for him.
It occurred not even to Ray that
the fine reputation he had could be
used as an asset, cashed in on. Not,
that is, until Phil Clairmont came
to town.
Clairmont had been born In
Southport. At 10 he had gone off to
college and not returned. He had
been a football hero, an All-Amer-
lean quarterback. After graduation
he had sold bonds and coached
football teams and written maya
zine articles on gridiron tactics
and given a series Of lectures over
the radio. He had made quite
success.
Two winters later Phil re-
turned to his home town for the
Christmas holidays. The folks
gave him quite a reception.
They held parties for him and
asked him to talk at this
function and that. He stayed
through New Years, which
was longer than he intended.
The reason that he stayed was
Sheila Farnsworth, who taught
the seventh grade.
Sheila was a native of Southport.
She had wheat-colored hair and
blue eyes. She had known Ray
Sharon all her life. She liked him.
When they grew up and Ray be-
gan taking her around, she was
quite happy.
DILL CLAIRMONT met her at
one Of the many parties that
were held in his honor. He remem-
bered who she was and was quite
surprised that she had grown up
and blossomed into something that
was easy to look at.
Sheila was, after all, only a nor
NAL girl. Phil Clairmont was
famous. When Phil took an interest
in her she was flattered. 1t gave
her recognition that most any girl
would have delighted in. No one
blamed her. No one condemned her
for it. If anyone felt about it at
all it was a sensation of envy. A
few wondered about Ray Sharon.
A smaller few felt sorry for him.
Occasionally she saw Ray and
thus it happened that one wintry
night Ray and Sheila set out in the
formers coupe for the distant town
of Merkdale to attend a bankers
ball there. It began to snow before
