He had been in Govern- ment service since 1873 and worked in the office of experiment stations since 1894, Mr. Henry had proved of special value to the Government in this lat- ter position because of his expert knowledge of printing, and twice he was granted extension periods for continued. active duty after reaching the retircment age, in 1920. These extensions were asked by office. Mr. Henry was born in Pennsylva- nia in 1850. He still tells to inter- ested listeners how, as a boy, he helped toll the town hall bell in his native village, announcing the death of Abraham Lincoln. He came to Washington when he was 23 years old and went to work in the printing office. He was made a proofreader in the War Department in 1890, and re- ceived his appointment to the Depart- ment of Agriculture in 1894.

Address: Room ent, The ngton, D. C. News De- ing Star, Q. T enlisted in the Marine Corps the latter part of October, 1918, and was actually sworn into the service on the morning of November 11, 1918, and immediately left for Paris Island, S. C., where I arrived on November 12. Under some technical ruling I was denied the $60 bonus. Am I en- titled to the Federal bonus? Do you think I am entitled to the New York State bonus?—A. J. S, A. You are entitled to the Federal bonus and should make application for it, provided your service totaled more than sixty days. You should also_secure an_appl the New York State bonus and file it, too. Your claims will probably be allowed in both cas Q. T served as an Army nurse dur- ling the World War. both on this and the other side. I have since married In making out my application for the bonus should I use my m:udz-n‘(m\mr or my new name? Can I namé any one to receive the benefits of my bonus if I should not live to receive them myself?—A. N. §. A. Use your maiden name in sign- ing vour application for the bonus. That is the name under which you served, and it is the one that the de- partment will most quickly identify. Under the heading “Remarks” state that you have married, that your name now is “Mrs. John Jones” and that you desire your adjusted service certificate made out in that name. Be | sure to sign your application with the name that you used in the serv- jice. You can name any person a |your beneficiary. The person does {not have to be related. Q. I have made application for the New York State bonus. After I filed this claim I secured information from tthe War Department that my service was credited to the State of Illinoi I had not resided in-that state for three years prior to my enlistment, but I suppose I gave that State as my home when enlisting. Should I “York State bonus? Should I file an application for the Illinois State bo- nus? Will the fact that I am entitled to one of these State bonuses bar me from the benefits of the Federal bonus?—A. J. S. A. Do not withdraw your applica- tion for the New York State bonus. for it may be due you if you enlisted in that State and were a resident. The War Department may have credited your service to the State of Illinois, but that fact will not determine your eligibility to that State bonus. File an_application for the Illinois State bonus law, Jbecause your claim for the New York State bonus may be denied. You are caught between technical points of the two State laws and if you have an- application on ation blank for | | withdraw my application for the New | 12 STUDENTS PASS - HIGH SCHOOL TEST |Eighth-Grade Pupils Com- i plete Special Six-Week | | [ Summer Course.
