WILL ALLOW FAMILY CLAIMS
Clnis Heretofore) nenarded as Unau.
thorized Now Permitted by U.
S. Veterans' Bureau.
Consideration of u class of veterans'
claims heretofore1 regarded us unau
thorized will lo permitted by tlio
United States Veterans' bureau, no
cording to word received by tlio Amer
ican Legion.
A new ruling lirovldes that claims
wlili'li were fintilu for family allowuncu
after thu veteran's discharge from tlio
Burvlcc can now bo considered whero
tlio person to whom It was desired to
iniiko the allowance was subsequently
brought by law within the permitted
class of henellclarles.
In the particular case submitted by
tlio Veterans' bureau for decision, an
lUtempt was made by an enlisted man
to claim an allowance for his aunt,
who, he showed, was absolutely de
pendent upon lilin for support. At that
time the claim was disallowed becauso
mi aunt was not then, nor now, within
thu permitted class of family allow
ance henellclarles. The aunt Involved
In this case, however, stood In loco
parentis to the enlisted man.
Following the discharge of the en
listed man from thu service, the flrst
.Sweet bill amended the war risk In
Mirance net by enlarging the permitted
class to whom allowances might bo
made to Include "persons who have
dtootl In loco parentis to a member of
tho military or naval forces at any
tlmu prior to hla enlistment or Induc
tion for n period of not less than one
year." This amendment was made,
retroactive In Its force to October (J,
3017. Tho aunt In tho case ruled upon
held such status.
In view of this retroactive provision
tho comptroller general has ruled that
a regulation of the Veterans' bureau
requiring that application for family
allowance must have been made whllo
the enlisted man was still In tho serv
ice to form n basis for a successful
claim does not apply whero a subse
quently enacted law has given rights
which could not havo been claimed
jrhllo the enlisted man was In service.

RAIN AND WIND
"Hello," said the King of the Clouds
to Mr. Wind.
"Hello," said Mr. Wind, and lie
whistled a great long whistle. Then
ho blew nnd he shouted:
"I'm Mr. Wind nnd I'm wild today.
I'm full of pranks, I'm full of play.
I don't enro whnt the people say,
I nm Roln? to have a ttmo so gay."
The King of the Clouds laughed,
for tim Wind wns certainly full of en
ergy nnd good spirits. He seemed ut
most beside himself with Joy. Oh, how
hurd ho was blowing. Everything
seemed to bo blown about thut he
touched. Even the enrs of dogs
flapped In the wind, though they did
stay attached to their owners' heads I
And tho people were either blown
about when they were out or had to
keep their windows down Indoors oi
all their things would he blown about,
Yet It was quite hot and really n day
which would be called n muggy day.
They really wanted to open their
windows wide so they could have the
air. Hut If they opened them more
than n crack the papers began to
blow and the curtains blew so that
they looked ns though they would
come down, nnd the ornaments looked
ns though they would smash down
and break.
"It has been warm lately," said the
King of the Clouds, "and people havo
said how things have grown. People
who have been In cities nil through
thu week and who hnve gone out on
Saturdays and Sundays have said as
they have looked nt the flowers and
the shrubs and the trees nnd tlio
leaves, 'Oh, how they have grown.
"Yes, they hae spoken of the flow
ers Just ns though they were chil
dren, for you know how people will
say to children, 'How you have grown.'
"And the people have even said to
the flowers, 'Why, last week you were
nothing but n little bud, nnd hero you
are all out.'
"In Just tho very same way that
people will say to a child. 'Why, my
dear, you seemed only u bnby so short
n time ago, and here you are grown

"And the flowers hnve said that of
course they have grown just as chil
dren grow, nnd that It really Is very
silly to seem so surprised about It.
Hut the flowers have said that ieople
didn't say these things to them In a
patronizing wny, as they often did
to children, which made It nil right.
"And some people hnve said that
they could actually see the flowers
growing opening before their very
eyes.
The Wind kept blowing and blow
ing and pretty soo-i the King of tho
Clouds spoke again.
"Mr. Wind, wouldn't you like mo to

am all ready for u good frolic. I am

"Join me, Join mo by all means,"
said Mr. Wind.
So tho King of the Clouds Joined

They had so benutlful a time.
"Well, well," laughed the King of
the Clouds, "I did hear such n funny

window and poked her head out for n

It Is raining to beat the bund.
"Now that Is n Joke! I may beat

And then the King of the Clouds
