Plea for enactment of the Rankin bill, which would extend the time from 1925 to 1930 for "consideration of cases of certain types of disabled veter- ans, has been issued by the Uncompen- sated Disabled Veterans of the World War from the United States eVterans’ Hospital at Castle Point, N. Y.

Hines of the Veterans' Bureau while testifying be- fore the House veterans' committee, would cost approximately $44,000,000.” ‘The original Rankin bill, it 18 ex- plained, “provides for the extension of time from 1925 to 1930 for tubercu- losis, neuropsychiatric cases and other chronic invaliding diseases, and would compensate 86,000 disabled veterans designed to permanent invalidism for | what future is left them, and to pauperism if not relieved.” MAN WITH BAbGE TAKES CASH REGISTER AND $20 Kansas City Shop Owner Is Told by Police That He's Been Robbed.
