His only scrvation was that the street car company must have the funds to do ils paving work just as the city must wait until it gets money from Con- s for the same purpose. _ SPECIAL NOTICES. will spare smail furni<hed office to pat- desiring to establish branch office; n popular service for inventors.

At Sibley Hospital thriving and crying are two daugh- ters and a son, born yesterday to his wife, Mrs. Ruth Dayhoff, twenty-one years old, through a Caesarian oper- ation. The youngsters already are the center of attraction of the baby ward. At the age of one day, they have attained the fame of being bom- barded by the same newspaper pho- tographers who order President Cool- idze and Secretary Hughes to “just move up a little bit. now The first girl weighs four pounds and twelve ounces, the second is ten ounces lighter and the boy weighs four pounds. Dr. Willism Jack. jr.. performed the operation. Recelve Congratulation Nurses at the hospital have named them “Eenie, Meenie and Meinie,” but no fear is feit that “Moe” will appear. Mrs. Dayhoff_is reported to be doing very well. She formerly was Miss Ruth Haynes, a local girl. Mr. Dayhoff could not be reached today for an interview, but close friends of the family said that he probably wouldn’t talk to anyone less than the father of quadruplets today anyhow. Mrs. Josephine Haynes, the grand- mother, today was as proud of the new arrivals as the parents. Her tele- phone has been ringing continuously by friends extending their congratu- lations to her daughter. Dayhoff is |a carpenter in Ahe employ of R. P. Ferguson.

Address: Room 722, News De- partment, The Evening Washington, D. C. Q. 1 was in the transport service. Enlisted May, 21, 1917, and went overseas December 17, 1917. From 1819, T was sailing back and forth continually. I cannot remember the actual days. How can 1 compute my bonus?—L. F. H. A. You are entitled to the maximum in benefits, so the actual sailing dates In other words, your total credit for service runs well over the total time allowed under the act. Your credit is $625. Multiply $625 by your factor number, to compute the ‘amount of your certificate. See Saturdays paper for factor numbers. Q. 1 was inducted August 2, 1918. ailed for France September 13, 1915, Discharged upon return from France 1919. 1 am thirty-six years old. How much will T receiv A. Your bonus certificate will worth about. $655. H. L. P.—Please write me again giving dates of enlistment, sailing nd return dates and when vou were discharged and 1 will be very glad to compute the amount due you. From the information contained in your letter T am sure you are en- titled to receive it. Q. Can you tell me if T am enti- tled to the Massachusetts state bonus? T enlisted in Boston, Mass., April 1, 1917 1 had only lived there about three months.—M. C. B. East Capitol street. ) A. Massachusetts bonus during be paid a state the actual period of In fact, Massachusetts sol- s for a time received besides their {regular pay $10 a month, which was given to them by the state. After some time this was discontinued. Then after the war Massachusetts paid another bonus. If you collected the first bonus I should say you are entitled to the second. Write to the State Bonus Commission or the Adju- tant General, Boston, Mass., for a blank upon which to make appli- cation. Q. How soon will application b!‘anks be available to flll out to se- ctre the bonus?—0. R. P. A. While no actual date has been et for the release of application blanks they will probably be made generally available in about four weeks. Q. Will the failure of the bill to appropriate momey to carry on the bonus work nullify the act or delay to any extent its execution?—P. M. A. The failure of the deficiency appropriation bill will not delay the work of the War Department, as it hras sufficient personnel which can be put on this work until Congress meets again and appropriates the needed funds. The public printer, I am informed, who refuses to 'be quoted either in the. afirmative or the negative, has already printed several million application blanks and about ten million. instruction sheets. All of the departments have in the past run under deficiencies and actually spent money, before the Congress has made appropriations. While statutes actually prohibit the expenditure of sums not appropriated, still where the intent of Congress is clear, no objection is made when the departments carry out the exact in- tent and will of the Congress. There remains but one technical duty for Congress to perform and that duty is merely to reaffirm the previous ac- tion. No actual cash will be dis- tributed_under the act until March 1, 1925.

He took his usual brisk walk about the downtown sec- tion of the city after breakfast, and was at his desk shortly after 9 o'clock. The President today is devoting his time principally to departmental mat- ters, although he expects to listen-in on the radio in his library this after- noon to obtain a close-up on the na- tional convention. The President re- ceived a number of telegrams from political friends and lieutenants on the scene of action, as well as sev- eral telephone messages, Communica- tion back and forth from Clevelagd is being handled for the greater part by Edward Clark, the President's per- sonal secretary, who is ocepyi desk of C.
