The War Veterans’ Home at 2626 Penn:ylvania avenue was closed today |and “Mother” Steed's work was | finished—all because Uncle Sam had |paid the bonus to veterans of the | world war. “They were my children—every one |of them,” said Mrs. J. Nathaniel Steed of Beach Summit, Vi | chairman of the Washington Wom- |en’s Overseas Service League. She referred to the thousands of destitute veterans she and her organization had | helped and housed since the first and most famous “bonus army” converged on Washington in 1932. The veterans lpved her and called | her “Mother.” They" stayed at the | home until the bonus was collected. Now they are gone to their own | homes, rehabilitated, heartened, and | prepared for a new life. Back in 1932, the bonuseers had no ‘p]urP to stay. After their meeting | with members of Congress, they were permitted to use an empty, Govern- | | ment-owned building on C street. Part, of it once was a blacksmith shop. The' next Winter the Pennsylvania avenue | building was provided by C. Marshall | Finnan, head of National Capital | Parks, when Mrs. Steed and other | members of the overseas league asked | The old one was torn down. 55 Stay to End. The War Veterans' Home started | with 250 residents. Thi$ number was | reduced to 55 at the request of the | Health Department. And it was 55 veterans who moved out this week when they cashed the bonus bonds. Mrs. Bryan K. Ogden was presi- dent of the league when the home was acquired. The league went to work obtaining supplies and collected | about $1.000 which used for food |and other necessities. other organizations in France in 1917 {and 1918, obtained cots and blankets | from the Army. For four and a half years they sponsored the home. Rev. J. J. Queally, rector of the Church of the Transfiguration, served as chaplain and constant friend of the veterans. army lines and governed themselves until the home was disbanded. Dur- ing the last two years many of them got work and were able to help their | less fortunate comrades, especially those who had been discharged penni- less from hospitals. They took up col- | lections to send the convalescents home. Pride in Rehabilitation. “The great pride the league has had in this work is the rehabilitation | | transferred or mortgaged “to a person | of s0 many men” Mrs. Steed said. “They have gotten back their self-re- spect. They realized that the women who served them overseas were still their friends and buddies. The men and the league are very grateful to | each Congress member, business house, organization, department and person | who has helped in this work.” During the life of the home, 11,000 | veterans were sheltered and fed. Miss Katherine Andress succeeded Mrs. Og- den as president of the league. Mrs. Fred Franke is the president, | while Mrs. Steed continues as service chairman. At a party last Friday night the re- maining veterans presented “‘Mother” Steed with what they loved most—the | flags which have flown over the home. \ , They also gave her $125 to defray | her expenses to San Antonio, to attend | Mod Hotel m."a'im..'é.a with m...r..nr‘i?.'.‘.','.'..'flr:'.'é’i’ Rates Will Please Valusble Healln Clvinae Surines (12 wiler WEro! e cksom) Xor booklet. write Mr. & Mrs. John D.

In bidding good-by, the ex-soldiers gave all their old clothing to the Vol- unteers of America for use by others | still unfortunate and destitute. “Mother” Steed devoted part or all of every day to the bonus-seeking vet- erans during the last four years. Many times ghe visited the Veterans’ Bureau to fight their battles and even went to court to defend them. | She has no children of her own. And now that her work is done, her friends have expressed the opinion she may be “standing on the corner one of these days, watching for the veterans to | come by, 50 she can help them again.” NAVY TO PUT SHIP JASON UP FOR SALE Only Americans Will Be Permit- ted to Bid On or Operate Quaint Vessel. | ‘The obsolete aircraft tender, Jason, | which Chinese coolies along their native coasts envisioned as symboliz- ing the dragon, typifying Occidental power and might, is going to be placed on the auction block, but no Asiatic or other foreigner may pur- chase the venerable craft. ‘The Navy Department yesterday announced that the Jason will be up for sale, under sealed bids, in the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts July 8. The terms of sale require that she is to be operated under the American flag and cannot be sold, | not a citizen of the United States.” Officers who served recently on the | Asiatic station recall that in 1932 the Jason was one of the vessels slated to be returned to the United States | when the administration decided to cut down the gize of the fleet in the Orient. The story up and down the | China coast was that people of the | | coolie class protested to their offi- | ctals, who in turn laid the matter . before the American authorities. The coolies contended that Uncle Sam was deserting them, for the old warship, with its fan-like cranes and derricks, appeared to the coolie mind as a dragon, symbolic of power, imperial- ism and strength. But despite their protests, the Jason | came home and was placed out of commission. job” price vise it! And no wonder!
