COL IANS FITTED FORVETERANS 0B New Director Among Bureau’s Oldest Employes—Ex- plains His Name. “Promounce it Iiams.” | “Thus spoke Col. George E. Ijams, new | director of the United States Veterans' Bureau, when asked about his name, | which is mispronounced by nine out ! en persons. The “§" is silent | As & matter of fact, said the colonel, | B ariginally was spelied “Tiams”—an old Welch name. And the story of Bow the “i” got changed to a “J" is o_interesting yarn in itseif. “The new director of the United States | Veisraas' Bureau is the eighth genera- tion of the family in America, which came over from Wales in the early| days of this country, and has been rep- refentad in every military engagement except the Spanish War, when there ‘were no men of the family of military .‘;u name was first spelled “Tiams.” but when the old-fashioned speiling | used “I's’ with a tail which hung be- Jow the line, the second letter of the famiy name accidentally got changed from an “i” to & “i" The pronuncia- tion continued to carry through as it slvays had, however, and the “j" is mever promounced. Not Colonel I-jams. So don't call him “Colonel I-jams.” The question of his mame was mot| by the smiling director of ihe Veterans' Bureau, whe is the soul of courtssy and tact, the last person to take offense at a mistake, which must by now be an old story to him. r ameag the officizls and em- | ployes of the bureau and also among the veterans’ organizatiens, Col. Ijams | reecived a deluge of flowers on his desk when he was appointed acting director of the bureau sometime ago. But yes- | terday there appeared on his desk an- | ather handsome basket of flowers in | tribute and comgratulations from a| veterans' organization in Baltimore, his | home city. | One of the old-timers in the Veterans’ | Bureay, Col. Ijams has been assistant and acting director for so| many different times that it seems natural for him finally to take over the reins of this great Government bu- reau on his own responsibility. As as- sistant director he has had at one time or apother direction of every depart- ment of the bureau with the single ex- | ception of the general counsel’s office. Has Military Bearing. | Tall, straight, and with a distimct | military besring, which seems to have | caught some of the “smap” frem his| long line of military forebears, Col.| Tjams speaks directly He clips off his | words with incisiveness which is courte- | ous, but clear-cut. As head of the bureau he directs the Qovernment unit spending more money for its ewnm activities than any other single department or establishment. | The bureau has $3,041,000,000 insurance in force. Col. Ijams' recreation is his work. §ince the war he says he has seen one ‘base ball game, when Walter Johnson pitched his team to the unforgettable victery in the World Series here. The calone]l has played two rounds ef golf, ing twice since the war. His maln interests in life are insurance, Col.
