If your brother left any children they are entitled to his adjustment of com- pensation. Since there is no unmar- ricd widow, and if there are no chil- dren, then the mother of the deceased veteran is entitled, if she was depend- ent, and so states uhder oath. The father, if* dependent, has next claim. C.—Persons who served in the stu- dent Army training camps for the period of such service are not en- titled to any adjustment of compen- sation. No person who served with a commission in the Rgular Army is entitled to an adjustment of com- pensation for the period of such ser @ The man who served his entire enlistment as a reserve officer, | whose rank was less than that of a major, is entitled to an adjustment of compensation for the period of such service between April 6 1917, and July 1, 1919.

The annual Summer outing of The Evening Star Club was held yester- day evening on the steamer Lord Baltimore of the Eriesson line, specially chartered for the occasion, up the Chesapeake Bay. More than 100 members of the club, who could be spared from the duty of getting out the 5:30 edition of The Star, boarded special cars of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway, at the Twelfth street sta- tion, at 4:30 o'clock, and a fast run was made to Baltimore. Col. C. Fred Cook, president of the club, announced shortly after the spe- ial pulled out of the station that all ‘shop talk” was banned for the day, and almost immediately games of casino, mah-jong and dominoes were under way. Upon arriving at the Baltimore terminus the members of the club boarded taxicabs and were whisked to the Light street wharf, ‘where they boarded the steamer for the trip down the harbor and then up the bay. The games, which had begun on the train, were continued by many, while others enjoyed the scenery. A jazz or- chestra rendered selections throughout the trip. At 6:45 o'clock the first call for dinner was sounded angd a rush was made for the dining room, where fried chicken and sea foads ~were served in plenty. Cigars and cigar- ettes wound up the repa: The sec- and call for dinner, for those who had drawn’places for that sitting, was later made. As the steamer wended its way through the channel of the Bay with a bright moonlight shining upon the wXters, the mem- | bers of the club gathered and ex- tended a vote of appreciation of the efforts-of the committee in charge of the outing. The boat docked at Baltimore at [10:30 o'clock and less than two hours later the club members were in the National Capital and on their way home. The committee in charge of the out- ing consisted of Col. Cook, president; Roy E. Corwin, vice president; Neville D. Miller, Charles D. Keller and T. Doran McCarty. THANKS TO A. F.
