The President and
the Bonus
It seems certain at the present
time that congress, in the present
session intends to eniact some kind
of legislation concerning the bon-
us. Many members of congress
seem to take the attitude that
some of the many millions that
are being handed out should go
to the veterans. Along this line
of thought, there seems to be lit-
tle reason for a consideration of
economy in withholding the pay-
ment until 1945 when it is due.
The advocates of present bonus
payment stress the fact that Im-
mediate payment would greatly
help in restoring prosperity thr-
ough the wide spending that
would result.
Such an opinion is not shared
by President Roosevelt. He Is fav-
orable toward payment action for
veterans who are in need but
sees no reason for making the
payment general. He has stated
his position on the matter on sev
eral occasions, the last time just
recently in a letter to a state Leg-
ion Commander. The President
maintains that payment of the
bonus would ultimately be of rar
more harm to the former soldiers
and all others than good because
of the increased burden of nat-
ional debt that would be caused
The fact that President Roose-
velt has stated that he will be in
favor of helping the veterans who
are in need probably indicates the
compromise that he hopes to af-
fect. Those opposed to any sort
of payment and those in ravor p r
immediate settlement are fore-
casted to meet on middle ground
under the guidance of the Presi-
dent and action will be limited to
the payment to those who are in
actual need.

to Travel
If you are going on an auto-
mobile trip and want to avoid all
possible traffic, you should go on
Tuesday or Wednesday. Such is
the conclusion reached from a
study of a traffic census taken by
the bureau of Public Roaos of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, on one of the most tra-
veled roads In the United States.
If you want to go at an hour
when there will be least traffic,
start between 2 and 3 o'clock in
the morning.
Traffic Increases in amount
steadily from Wednesday to Sat-
urday, the census showed, and
then jumps into big volume on
Sunday. The volume on Sunday
' about twice that on Tuesday
or Wednesday. On Monday there
is a decided drop from the Sun-
day figures and on Tuesday the
lowest ebb is reached.
There is less traffic on the
roads between 2 and 3 o'clock in
the morning than at any time of
day. From 3 o'clock to 5, there is
a slight lincraase; then a steady
climb until 1. Between 1 and 3,
traffic reaches its height of act-
ivity. After 3 o'clock it drops
slightly until 7 when the decrease
becomes more pronounced. By
mid-night, traffic has almost
reached its lowest points.
Ninety per cent of the day's
traffic, the census showed, rolls
over the road between 7 a. m
and 9 p. m., and 52 per cent be-
tween 1 p. m. and 8 p. m.

The greatest experimental tw-

If anything were worth trying.

Dear Mother has been called to
rest.
In relms of light above
To rest among the angels blest
In God's eternal love
Lifes burdens have been laid aside
The Jordon safely passed
And With her Savior crucified ,,
Her soul reached home at last
We surely miss her smiling face
Her sunshine and her cheer
For home is now a sad, sad
place.
Without our Mother dear
But we will trust and watch and
wait
Until we clasp her hand
In greeting at the pearly gate
Of that eternal land.
