The other 14 claims, according' to . Frank Dineen. liaison officer, will be granted to the ex service men as soon as the needed medical papers are se cured from the adjutant general s of * fire* in Washington. Beside** the 34 cases, between 10 and 15 cases were hurried through the offices of the liaison officer so that the claimants could secure claims by posting them before De cember 31. These were taken to the medical clinic, now being conducted by the Omaha post, for medical ex amination.

The Omaha post of the American Legion takes in the 10 western counties in Iowa and the entire state of Nebraska. Other claims were also examined 1 y the liaison officer of the post. They run from gunshot wounds to total blindness. The case of total blindness was that of James I*. Miller. Liaison Officer Diiteen discovered that he had not been examined by the Net era ns’ bu , rent! since 1921. At that time lie was > rejected for' compensation, although V , blind in one eve. tie told Dineen that as long as he * Md one eye and was a hie to work, he could not waste his time asking for compensation. During the middle of December, when he asked for an examination, it was discovered that he had lost the sight of both e^es. It was deemed advisable by the Veterans’ bureau and the Legion clinic to give him another * examination. The next day he re * r eived his rating, amounting to $1,150 in back compensation and a tempo rary rating beginning on the date of his last examination of $95 a month. Others to come before the liaison officer for claims were Ira Ivitner, gunshot wounds; Henry Schmidt, lung trouble; Francis McCarthy, hernia; Arden Seavers, epileptic; Clyde Sackett, lunacy; Lessie Thomp son, paraletlc, and Joe Barnber, a sufferer of internal troubles.

The I.icing Heap of Spow Of all the puzzled people In all the Great World none was more puzzled than was the'young Otter whose big fish had disappeared. He had killed that fish, lie had even taken two big bites out of the choicest part of it. So he couldn't have flopped back off the Ice Into the Water while he was away. He had been gone only a few minutes, just long enough "I don't believe you caught a Idg fish at all,” said she. to get Ills sister and b(lng her over to see the l.lg fish He had boasted that it was bigger than any fish she had ever caught. Now there wasn't a trace of It anywhere. His sister tossed her head. “I don't believe you caught a Idg fish at all," said she. "Hut I tell you I did." protested her brother. "I caught him and I left him right here." "Then where is it?" demanded his sister. But litis the young Otter couldn't say. He wished he could. He had a queer and most uncomfortable feeling. It made hint uneasy. Actually It made him afraid. He didn't know- what he was- afraid of, but he was afraid. So when his sister disgustedly plunged into the water and swam hack to the slippery slide on the tank he followed her But somehow he couldn't enjoy i that slippery slide. He kept thinking al>out that lost fi»h. To make matters ; worse hi« sister kept teasing him about It. She, railed him a boaster. It was clear that she didn't believe he had caught that big fish he had boast ed about So after going down the slippery slide a few times he swam bark to the place where he had left: tlie tlist fish lie t IlmU-d out on the ice and once more looked around every- j where for signs of some one who might have stolen that big fish But not a sign could he find.
