The act of 1924 made possible the further decentralization of the bu- reau to the extent of permitting the establishment of regional claims and rating boards.

Address: Room 722, News De- partment. The Evening Star, Washington, D, C. Q. 1 lost my husband some time ago. I have one child by that marriage. I have just married again. Is my child entitled to the adjusted compensation that my first husband’s military serv- ice earned? Should apply for it, and, if so, how should 1 proceed?— Mrs. P. L. R. A. You are not entitled to the bene- ts of the act, but your child is. You hould make application for and on behalf of your child. If you have not already done so, have yourself ap- pointed lezal guardian of your child, and sign its name as the dependent entitled to the benefits, under your guardianship, Q. 1 was sworn in as a provisional ensign in the United States Navy February 11. 1918, and assigned to duty on a battleship as a watch of- ficer. Later I was transferred to the Officers’ Torpedo Training School at Newport, R. I, where I remained in training for several months. During the training period at various times I patroled the coast, in most in- stances in command of enlisted men. This was active military service, still 1 am led to believe that no credit is allowable for such service. Please tell me if credit will be allowed?— W. L. M. A. Since vour service was in the Reserve Corps, vou will be entitled to the benefits of the act for the period you served at the school. As your service subjected you to extra hazzards, you are certainly entitled to the full credit for the period of such service at this school, and I believe that the Navy Department, in computing your credit, will allow you the maximum benefits. Enlisted or reserve perscnnel detailed to officers’ training schools zuch as vou attended will all be paid for the service they rendered at the rate authorized un- der the law. s Q. 1 enlisted as a_chief yoeman in Jply. 1917. In October of that year I'was sent to the Naval Academy for a period of three marshs. Will I be allowed credit on my adjustment of compensation for such service?’—G. P. A. Enlisted men serving-in the Re- serve Corps and sent to the Naval Academy, as students, will be entitled to credit for the period of service as sueh. This ruling has no bearing upon the officers of the regular estab- lishment, none of whom come within the provisions of the law, and are not entitled to any benefits of ad- justed compensation. Q. 1 have been watching your column each day for a case similar to mine, but so far have seen none. I entered the service on April 6, 1917, and in less than a month was sent to the -Hawalian Islands. I landed back in the United States one year later, June 11, 1918, with the st United States Infantry. Being all regulars, we were at once broken up and set to the task of training draftéd men, thus belng Kept con- stantly under intensive training.

Da Copyright, TARRF AGT USED TO BACK DRY LAW Has “Teeth,” Mrs. Wille- brandt Says, Reporting Smuggling Convictions. The Department of Justice from now on will employ the tariff act of 1922 as much as possible against whisky smugglers, because it has more “teeth” than the national pro: hibition act Instructions to this effect have been foryarded by Attorney General Stone to Nnited States attorneys at coast and border points. His instructions follow a report by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt Assistant Attorney Gen- eral, who said two prosecutions had recently been effected under the tariff act, but that the prohibition act Lad “no teeth in it” for smugglers. “The two prosecutions, Mrs. Wille- brandt states, have just resulted in a victory for the Government in the southern district of Texas, United States vs. John L. Nounes, arising out of the seizure of the ship Cherokee, and United States vs. Ben S. Granger. Sentences in these cases ranged around 18 months in the peni- tentiary and fines of $5,000. All of the defendants, Mrs. Willebrandt states, “are prominent and defiant smugglers, and in my opinion results in the cases illustrate the advisability of spreading the use of section 593 of the tariff act as a deterrent against clandestine landing of liquors.” HUSBAND MAY BE FREED. Has Been Jailed Seven Months in Divorce Action. Henry Daye, formerly a motion pie- ture operator of Winston-Salem, N. C., who has been seven months in_the District jail because he refused to give a bond of $2,500 to insure his presence in Washington at a hearing of the suit of his wife, Ruth, for a limited divorce, may be released on a bond of $500. Justice Hitz yester- day reduced the penalty of the bond. and also changed the temporary ali- mony order, under which the husband had been required to pay $250 per month for his wife's support.. In the future he will have to pay only $10 each week. Herbert L. Davis, auditor of the District Supreme Court, recently heard evidence and reported to the court that Daye had $2,800 from the sale of certain securities, but de- clined to tell where the money was located. Justice Hitz did mot require the husband to disclose the hiding place of his assets. Attorney A. L. Newmyer appeared for the husband. or, because T did not sail for France until after the later of the‘two dates, between which time credit for serv- ice is given, am I entitled. to only the maximum for home service, $500?

You failed to give the date of embarkation for overseas service. It is therefore presumed that you-sailed after July 1, 1919. If such is the case, you are entitled only to the maximum credit for service on this side, which is $500. If you had sailed on June 29, 1919, 50 as to have had one day’s credit of overseas service, you would be entitled to a maximum credit of $625.'

CUMBERLAND, Md., August 14— Four-year-old Mary Katherine Mitch- ell told late yesterday all about her adventures in the wild' woods, where she was lost for two days and nights while bloodhounds, posses and airs planes searched for her. She had wandered away from the camp of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James K. MitcRell, on a motor trip from Uniontown, Pa, and at first was believed to have been kidnaped. “What did you eat?" she was asked, after her drenched and tattered clothes had been substituted and she had Dbeen strengthened with food and medical attention. “Berries 'n apples ''n catnip,” replied. “What did you do when it became dark and there was nothing about she BAIL JUMPER HELD.
