WELLER AND HILL CAMPAIGNS DIFFER Senator Confines ‘Efforts to Mails—Rival Engaged in Vigorous Stump Tour. Epectal Diepatch to The Star BALTIMORE, Md.,, August 28— Although Se r E. Weller has campuigkn he ers here, he has not appeared on the stump in his fight for the Republican senatorial nomination, confining all hisactivities so far to the malils. Representative John Philip Hill, his opponent, on the other hand, has been speech-making throughout the State, denouncing Weller's record in office and his at- tempt to continue in control of the Republican partv in Maryland. With few exceptions there will be contests, Democratic or Republican, e-wide office in the pri- mary September 14 In the o ional districts there will be atic contest in the first between Representative T. Allan Goldsborough and Franklin W. Up- shur, jr. George L. Barret, the Re- publican candidate, is unopposed. William P. Cole, jr., Democrat, and Linwood L. Cl Republican, are inopposed in the second.

FINANCE SOLDIERS' HOME HERE; Unclaimed Estates of Veter- ans Other Source of Funds for Maintenance. Spacious Institution Open to 20-Year Warriors and Al Disabled. “Two-thirds pay for two months.” The soldier has been drunk and A. W. O. L. He has beaten a guard and fnsulted an officer. He wasn't shaved for retreat and didn’'t have his shoes shined for inspection. Altogether it's a pretty tough case and he can thank his lucky stars for n;lythlng less than execution at sun- rise. He salutes and does a snappy about- face from the presence of the hard- ‘boiled summary court officer. Once outside the door, of course, he begins to swear and vow vengeance. He faces a dreary two months with hardly enough cash to pay for his laundry, to say nothing of the neces- sary funds for crap games. But actually he hasn't been fined at all. Two-thirds of his pay for two months is put aside to maintain a spaclous, beautiful country estate to which he may retire in his older days and live on the interest of his money. It stands on the outskirts of Wash- ington, with its shadowy groves, fts broad lawns and its winding drive- ways—this estate where retired gen- tlemen at arms can come in the sun- set of their lives. It is the estate which court-martials have built. This is the United States Soldiers’ Home. It is nctually the proper:y of those who live there, bought and paid for with their money. Of course, much of the money was contributed involuntarily, but that does not de- tract from the fact that it actually came from the ranks of the United States Army. Not Financed by Congress. The Soldiers’ Home, contrary to the generad impression, is not sup- ported by Congress. The legislative body never has contributed a cent to its maintenance. It is a Government institution only in a somewhat limited sens funds for the support of this institution are derived from two sources — interest on the permanent fund, amounting to about $4,000,000, which is paid by the Treasury, and the revenue from court-martial fines, forfeitures of pay and unclaimed es- tates of dead soldlers. By far the greatest item is fines imposed by military courts. Last year the total from fines and forfeitures was $570,- 404.63—and this was an average year. Because of the fund built up in this way, any man who has served 20 years in the Regular Army, regard- less of his physical condition, and any man who has served a single day who is incapable of supporting him- self, can be assurea of a home for life in surroundings as fine as those enjoyed by any retirea millionaire. It is a part of the earnings of service. Originally the home was built by .| deductions from the pay of every sol- dier. The paymaster took 25 cents a month until 1859, when the deduction was decreased to 1213 cents. In 1908 it was abolished altogether, and since then all the revenue has been deriv (‘d from punishments or unclaimed tates. The same procedure is fr)llo\\ ed at the Navy home in Philadelphia.

The local institution is not open to men who served as volunteers in or- ganizations which were not officially listed as belonging to the Regular Army. Thus, in auditing the fines and for- feitures of soldiers curing the World War a careful nction was made between Regular, ional Guard and National Army u , and only the money from the former came to the Soldiers’ Home. Members of the home re proud of this status, according to Brig. Gen. Benjamin Alvord, secre- tary of the board of commissioners of the home. They are living like retired gentlemen on their own money. Prok- ably both they and the Army wouid resent any change in ths status, and Gen. Alvord believes that the soldiers will prefer the system of deductions from their pay rather than direct Gov- ernment appropriation 1f the fines ever run too low to support the insti- tution.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Mandy was very fond of telling Jokes to her neighbor, so one morning she decided to keep Rachel guessing this one. “Rachel, what is the dlfference be- tween notorlety and fame? “Laws, Mandy, I can’t ever guess that one,” said Rachel. “Well, a_thousand dollars’ worth of roses will barely fill a room with per- fume, but with a dollar’s worth of fried onions you could scent up the whole town. Now, Rachel, that's the difference.” Find-sheli Fossxl; in Well.
