The measure foL lows substantially the policy now in effect with reference to veterans of the Civil War. It provides that the widow of a veteran who ser ved a minimum of ninety days, without children and who mar ried the veteran prior to 1921, is entitled to compensation of $20 a month. If she has children and married the veteran prior to May 13, 1938, the widow’s award would be $20 a month, with $8 additional for the first child and $4 a month for each additional child. The bill further provides that if a child but no* widow survives the deceased veteran, the one child will be en titled tp compensation of $12 a month, two children would draw $18 a month and three children would draw’ $24 a month, with $3 a month for each additional child. The bill also provides for dependent fathers and mothers of deceased veterans. Where there amount is $20 a month and where both parents survive, the amount is $15 a month, each. The estimated number of cases un der this new measure is approxi mately 140,000 and the estimated cost for the first year is $22,238,000. The bill has passed the House but hut it will not be law unless and until it has passed the Senate and MlCKIE SAYS— f ROSES ARE REP, ^ VIOLETS ARE BLUE, ; AMO SO ARE WE, WMEM VOU PONT RENEW// _is THE'POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE A ‘WrZsr IN REZENSE STRIKES IN THE FIRSTSMONTHS OF /9+I EN0O6H TO BOHR'. ^ 1600 TANKS 2 20.000 mr~ MACHINE GUNS yj\ 1600AtRPlANES JSb^ owe lASty -Tyre wi?n** map*** a FiAMO • you WPPT* LFTlCW ©y “PiAywfe Ohi THf «ys • 11M SWPOFkI, MAll fcOrt* AW'f ATTACHH? 10 1Mf nscwrs OF srwfrr ows -: l IN M MHCHiHt root iNPOSHty UPON WHICH THl Atm fPOCUmONOf PfffHif IQUPHWT OeftNPf, ISN0WH9CV7 !6~S Pfgc&n nstnr/nAsn was rs months caaucr AITHO06M ONLY 3 PEW^otfS ARE NEEPEP 10/AAN 1HE AVERAGE COAST-10-CC*ST PLANE, AWT 58 CMftOynFt are wvpivep in each mem, accord**** to one __ AIRLINE COAPANy , _ „ ,. , .. has been approved by the President.

That question was put to the Third Dis trict office this week. The answer is that no such change was ever made. “America” never was our national anthem. Because of misappre hension, or affection for the com position, many thought it was ac corded some offical recognition. It is just a lyric set to the tune of “God Save the King” whipb roee in popular esteem very much the same as “God Blees America” is doing currently. It was not until March 3, 1931, that any legislation was completed designing any Cbm position as our national anthem and that was when the “Star Spangled Banner” was so designated. Many people believed preceding March 3, 1931, that the “Star Spangle Ban. ner” was our national anthem. Pre ceding that, it was only an execu tive order of President Lincoln that had made use of the “Star Spangleed Banner” official to any extent and that extended no farther than use by the Army and the Navy. Such executive action and such lim ited official use of the composition was, of course, insufficent to make the “Star-Spangled Banner” the national anthem. ■» • - I • E. C.

Closing the German consulates and.news agencies did not create the sensation in Washington that might have been expected. It is generally felt that it is materially short of breaking off diplomatic relations. Our consulates in Ger many are still open, but those in Czech-Slovakia and Poland are closed. Rumors have it that the German Embassy staff here is packed up and ready to leave. Dip lomatic opinion is that the breaking point has not yet been reached. As the war comes closer home, many members have our situation sized up this way. We are at war with the Axis power* economically. The passage of the Lend-Lease Bill gave the President the right to aid belligerents anywhere. Congress would not pass a declaration of war if called upon to do so today.
