Disbursements to disabled e ervice men or their dependents are being made at the rate of $800,000 a day. The record would indicate that Congress has not been nig- ardiy in providing for the disabled men. The Republicans, too, in answer to the charges made against President Coolidge because of his veto of the sol- diers’ bonus act, in an effort to win votes of former service men, point out that ex-service men are direct beneficiaries of the era of business management in governmental affairs installed by Republicans with such marked success in the reduction of taxes. The Republicans are responsible for the Sweet Act, which coordinated all the federal agencies dealing with ex-service men in the Veterans Bureau. Since this Bureau was created re has been a gradual reform in the handling of matters ‘ling with the ex-service men. In spite of setbacks, the Veterans Bureau has risen to a place of high esteem in the minds of the ex-servicee men. The records of the Bureau show that of each dollar appropriated 28 cents goes for voca- tional training, 26 cents for compensation, 25 cents for in- surance, 12 cents for medical and hospital services, six per salaries, including those of 27,000 employes of the and three per cent covers other administrative expens ine Veterans Bureau was on the defensive at the start Now it is able to claim that the United States today has the most up-to-date ific and humanitarian system of hospitsli: 1e of the shows on and around Broadway, New York, are “pulling raw stuff” this season, unusually so. 4 has a national significance, for Broadway shows are supported mainly by Americans from the interior who have sallied eastward for a good time.

A lot of duplica- tions, of course, some making the trip many times. The Grand Canyon and similar natural marvels await in the west. But the majority of people prefer Manhattan, which in the last analysis is little more than a very orderly collection of bricks. Man’s vanity is flattered when he in- spects his own work. Man built New York. He didn’t have a hand in the Grand Canyon. “EXPERT” OPINION Speaking of things that excited the public a few years ago: Going back about 10 years in newspaper files, we find experts of the N. Y. Produce Exchange claiming that the high price of meat was due to corn-feeding our drunkards instead of hogs. They figured that three-fifths of the corn crop in those days was consumed by distilleries and brew- erics. The liquor is gone, and meat is higher than ever. much for the transitory opinions of “expert economis: WAY assengers who enter or leave the Times Square subway station in New York now total more in a year than the entire population of the United States. The subway makes the super-city possible. Without it, the: traffic confusion would become a deadlock. Whether the subway in this capacity is a gain or a loss, is debatable. But it is undoubtedly the one and only traffic solution for all larger cities. So LOVE Tender caresses and fervent vows of courtship days do not always lead to the expected. In Paris, jail doors are installed between the rooms where husbands and wives wait until their divorce cases are called by the judge. The steel bars are found necessary to prevent the ex-lovers from getting at each other with claw and nail. The most important decision in life is marriage. “Marry + -in-haste, repent at leisure.” ADMIRABLE Mcet Abraham Hershkowitz, New York patriot. He is so determined to vole this year that he made a trip on a stretcher from the hospital, so he could: register. Good citizenship like this is enough to make a vote-slacker ish. If you are as patriotic in peacetime as in war, you vote without fail. A failure to vote is, in effect, a ballot agaatin favor slipshod government and high taxes.

In the past cod- liver has been the standard oil remedy for rickets, but as a result of Dr. Steenbock’s experiments it may become possible to dispense with this remedy, which has been tolerated rather than relished. Olive oil and lard, as well as other plant and animal fats, can be made as active as cod-liver oil by Dr. Steenbock’s method. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON |; The king of Yum Yum Land was hungry. He had had breakfast at eight o'clock; a large cantaloupe, a plate ot ham and eggs, a dish of rolled oats and cream, five pieces of toast and marmalade and four cups of, coffee. For luncheon at one he had had a plate of soup, a fish, a whole fried chicken, two helpings of mashed po- tatoes, six ears of corn, tomato and | cucumber and asparagus and sweet- pepper salad, and a plate of ice cream with crushed cherries all over it and sprinkled with nuts, and 1 don’t know what all. Now it was three o'clock and he was hungry. “[’'m hung minister, he said to his prime very hungry. In m The prime minister said to the lord high counsellor, “The king's hungry. He's very hungry. In fact he’s half starved. You'd better do something. Please see to it at once. The lord chamberlain said to t lord mayor that the king was hungry and all the rest of it. And at four o'clock it reached the rs of the cook who was just send- in a tray of crumpets and tea Majesty the Kin ets and tea!” he said in dismay, “will never do for a starving king. I's four hours to dinner and | I haven’t a thing in the house. What shall 1 do? I'll lose my job as cook | if 1 don't find something wonder- ful at once.” . | Just then a peddler passed the | kitchen door calling out, “Fine wares | to sell! Fine wares to sell! Please come and buy! Fine wares to sell!” “Be off with you!” cried the cook. | “I've troubles enough as it is. His Majesty is starving to death andj here | am with nothing but crumpets j and tea in the house and four hours till dinner.” “Oh, but look!” whined the beg- gar. “I have the very thing you| want, An old thin fork and a teapot of the same stuff.” “Be off!” cried the cook. “An old | bent fork that looks as though it had been used for pitching hay! And an old teakettle that looks as though | the highest office it had ever per- formed was to melt the ice on the buteher’s pavement. Be off, I say.” “Not so fast! Not so fast!” si the beggar. “These things are not to be judged by appearances. They will save you work and I only want to do you a favor. Hide me in the palace and they are yours for noth- ing.

She was very subdued through the long legal announcement made by the lawyer in reading the will. It was exactly as Jack had told us ex- cept that it was couched in legal phrases.

It’s a strange thing, Ruth dear, how destiny has worked out the fuct of little Jack. 1 am exceedingly glad that my father loved the boy well enough to insure his education and start his life, whatever anyone else might do for ‘him. Each day, now, as I know that another child coming to me, my love grows greater for the boy I chose. 1 love him for my husband’s sake; I love him in spite of my husband’s sin. I love him because I chose him out of the world of little homeless and mothetless ones, and I think 1 can say that that is as great a love as a mother: has even for a child that is hers because she bore it. Oh, I know a great many people will think I am erazy to say this, but nevertheless each day I find that \it is true in my case. T am eagerly waiting until my other child. is born to see if nature will make any dif- ference between the child of my body and the child of my choice, There is much more I want to tell you, Ruth. There is much to be settled, of course, about the shop and other things, However, I will not come back with John immedi- ately, as I hate to leave mother here alone. Alice at this time seems to be much absorbed in her own unhap- piness and sorrow to be of much comfort to her, However, I am go- ing to have a talk with Jack before he returns, and then I will write you. Until then, remember dear, you are my best friend. LESLIE. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1924 THE ORIENTALS NEVER KISS By Albert Apple Chinese and Japanese do not kiss, But American movies will start this delectable custom iti the orient, predicts Lillian Eichler inher new book, “The Customs of Mankind.” That’s plausible, and probable, even though it does strain the imagination to picture the emotionless poker-faced Chinks practicing the art of osculation. ‘ Lombroso long since claimed that kissing is an occidental custom exclusive to America and Europe. However, we |never could shake off a notion that even in China the lovers must instinctively kiss in private. Scientists say not. | In this dry and desolate age, when the punch bowl is i legally taboo and marriages are supposed to be celebrated by drinking tea, strawberry pop or ice cream sodas, it is a comfort to many to look back to the golden age when— In ancient northern Europe married couples drank mead.« a high-power wine made from fermented honey, for 30 days after the marriage ceremony. This came to be known as {the “honey month.” That is the origin of the word “honey- moon,” writes Lillian Eichler. The bridegroom got his name from the custom of his ‘ having to wait at table on his bride — taking the place of the regular servant, a groom. This symbolized devotion and submission to his loved one. y That famed institution, the big wedding cake, had a very practical origin. A French cook observed the custom of serving individual little cakes to the hundreds at a wedding would be more convenient if the cakes were concentrated into one mass. The marriage ceremony in ancient days was often fan- tastic. There are primitive districts of the world that still preserve the system by which a man and woman were con- sidered married as soon as they ate out of the same dish. Rice is thrown after the departing married couples be- cause of its being the olden symbol of productiveness. Six hundred years ago in France, Lillian Kichler records, “It was considered a lucky thing to win the bride’s garter, and everyone rushed for it at the conclusion of the ceremony. Brides wisely left one garter dangling where it could easily be reached, but nevertheless they were often hurt in the scuffle. ,So some wise bride conceived the idea of throwing her bridal bouquet.” Many of the summer hoboes return of the wealth of odd jobs there. outers is the sa New York, Oct. 30—As days grow shorter and nights longer busi- ness in Broadway's gilded pallaces pick up. Two new cabarets will have a cover charge of $5 a person. Profits of these night jazz joints average about $2500 a week. Some of the more successful show a profit of $7500 a week. The Silver Slip- per until it was padlocked by pro- hibition agents, averaged a profit of $10,000 2 week and is reported to have made $12,000 one week. The cabarets do not have to have a large patronage to make large profits. Every check represents a profit of 80 per cent. Many: well-known stage people, especially vaudeville performers, are engaged as entertainers. Some of them have entirely severed their connection with the stage for this work. Their pay often runs into four figures. Jimmie Hussey, comedian, is repu- ted to receive $2000 a week as a master of ceremonies in a cabaret just opened. The two latest bits of catchy slang in Gotham are, “And I don't mean maybe. ‘ou don’t, know the night I spent!” You can say either one of them on almost any ®occa- sion.
