Need a Second Rule “The federal reserve bank of Chicago has just made a le, which says: “No male employe receiving less than $125 a month salary will be permitted to marry while in the service of this bank, without first taking the matter up with the chief clerk.” _ Considering the cost of living today, there are many who will say this is a very good rule. We know 125 a month does not go a very long way toward keeping | a home, so perhaps the bank was acting wisely in mak- such a rule. “However, people generally would have had a whole lot more respect for the federal reserve bank of , if, in making this rule, it had also made a cond one to go with it, reading something like this: “No employe of the federal reserve bank of Chicago, who his or her time and éfforts to the work oa 5 bank, shall receive less than $150 a month Yes, there is still time to make such a rule.

Americanism There Can Be No Compromise RAPNEL MARNE MEMORIAL AMERICA’S GIFT NEW YORK — Plans are being made for a popular campaign to raise & fund of $250,000, which will go toward erecting 4 statue on the Marne, as America’s gift to France This project has been indorsed by former Secre tary of the Interior Franklyn K, Lane. It was one of his last official acts to denignate the towh of Meaux on the Marne, “the place where France was #aved,” as the spot where the monu- ment should be erected. Frederick MacMonnies, the American sculptor, will carve the statue, which will be symbolic of the heroiam displayed by the French armies under Marshal Joffre in the first battle of the Marne The memorial will be placed on a prominent hill, sloping up from the Marne, near Meaux Choice of the exact spot will be left to Marshals Joffre and Foeh. The campaign to raise the $260,000 will begin about the latter part of this month. Americans Third According to figures compiled by British stat- isticians, United States made the third largest contribution in fighting forces with about 2,000,- 000 men.

Altho this was the first time the boys had got to gether since the war in thia way, it wae the 15th annual gathering of the members of the company. GET TOGETHER While congress looks on, half impatient and half tolerant, three or ganizations of veterans are scrapping over what they want We can't blame the de- lay on congress, If even the former service men are not decided on the ex- act sort of a bonus they should get Congress doesn’t like the job of choosing the best bet. Let those who want the bonus pick it. Nothing but right Let the three squabbly groups of veterans get together, to a decision “and then go in a body before the legislature. The re sult will be quicker ac tion, three times stronger support for the bonus bill presented and satisfaction to all. The present scrap makes the bonus fight more of a laughing stock and less of a certainty. PUT EM ON K. P.; THAT'D BE 0. K.
