Veterans of Great War American Legion. ‘Olflcerr of the Jane A. Delano Post, No. 6, American Legion, were installed &t the last meeting. The retiring com- mander, Miss Pierson, gave a brief Fesume of the year's work. She stated contributions were made by the post Yo the Mississippi flood sufferers, the District of Columbia War Memorial &and the special Christmas fund for Bick nurses. Addresses were made by Miss Clara Noyes of the American Red Cross, . Julia Stimson, superintendent of the Army Nurse Corps, and Mise Beatgice J. Bowman, superintendent ©f the Navy Nurse Corps, giving many dncidents of the herolc work done by Nurses in the World War and the im- Portant part they took in it Department Comdr. J.

The doors will be closed forever De- cember 31 at midnight to of the World War who failed to apply for their adjusted compensation cer- tificates. The time limit has been ret by law. Applications must be in the mail before that time or they will not be accepted as official Some 200,000 eligible veterans have o far failed to apply for the bene. fits of this act. Simply for the ask- ing. these veterans may receive from 1he Government an adjusted compen- =ation certificate which is in effect a paid-up insurance policy payable to he veteran in cash at the end of 20 years, in the average amount of about §800, and with a loan value from year to vear. Application_forms may be_obtained from any United States Veterans' Bureau office or from any post or de- partment headquarters of the Amer- ican Legion. Many requests have been received by the United States Veterans’ Bureau, the’ War Department and the Amer- ican Legion from gold star mothers throughout the country, asking for payment of the $60 bonus on behalf of sons who died or were killed while in service. These requests have followed con- | siderable publicity given to the act of Congress of July 2, 1926, which made this $60 bonus pavable to certain de- pendents of deceased soldiers and sailors under certain specified con- ditions. Unfortunately, most of the publicity has been misleading, it simply advis- ing that the $60 bonus Was now pay- able to mothers upon application. The original act providing for the payment of a $60 discharge bonus was intended to be paid to the veteran himseX upon discharge from service for use in the purchase of civilian clothing. However, the World War adjusted compensation act, or Fed- eral bonus act, when laying down the method of calculating the amount of adjusted service credit, said that the first 60 days of service must be de- ducted, on the theory that every vet- eran eligible under the act must have received his $60 discharge bonus, and made the same rule apply to the de- pendents of veterans Killed in service who might also apply for adjusted compensation benefits. In other words, the veteran who, on discharge, received the $60 bonus, had this deducted on applying for his ad- Justed compensation. The veteran who died in service re- ceived no $60 discharge bonus, but under the act his mother, on applying for his adjusted compensation, had the $60 deducted, regardless. This was, of course, an oversight on the part of the writers of the original adjusted com- pensation act, and the amendment of v 2, 1926, was intended to correct this injustice. Therefore, this $60 is now payable to the widow, child or dependent mother or father of a veteran who had at least 60 days’ service and who died in the service and prior to July 1, 1919. Actual dependency must be proven, except where the mother or father is more than 60 years of age, and where the mother, when depend- ent, is not married. Application for this $60 should be made by letter to the Veterans' Bureau. La Societe des 8 Chapeaux et 40 Femmes celebrated its second birth- day anniyersary Monday evening at the Thomas Circle Club, 1336 Massa- chusetts avenue. At the reception and dance which followed many prominent Legionnaires were in attendance. Re- freshments were served by the Part- ners, Le Chapeau Departmental Passe Emily Carey having the honor of cut- ting the birthday cake, which was made especially for the occasion. L’Archiviste Edna MclIntosh presided over the punch bowl. The installation of officers of Salon No. 14 will take place next Wednes- day evening at the home of Le Cha- peau Carey, 201 Forest street, Thrif- ton Village, Va. A benefit to disabled World War vet- erans who manufacture poppies for Memorial day sales has been brought about by the poppy division of the American Legion Auxiliary, which has obtained, through competitive bids, a Jower price on material for the com- ing year. A lower price for the offi- gial sticker also has been obtained. The Legion Auxiliary provides the #material for the disabled veterans, and when the poppies are manufactured, pays the veteran for the work, then sells the poppies to provide more money to purchase new material. A total of 8,134,578 poppies were sold by the Auxiliary last Memorial day, ac- cording to the report of Mrs. Donna G. Akin, director of the national poppy a n. The poppies were manufac- tured largely by the disabled veterans in Government hospitals throughout the country. The sales totaled close 1o $1,000,000.
