low WAR RISK
INSURANCE IS
NOW PAYABLE
Washington, Jan. 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—How monthly benefits
^ald under the war risk insurance act
have been increased and the class of
beneficiaries enlarged by the recently
enacted Sweet bill was explained re
cently by its author, Representative
Sweet of Iowa.
i* Converted insurance may now be
paid in a lump sum or in installments
for thirty-six months or more, at the
option of the policy-holder, Mr. Sweet
said, while the policies may be made
payable to any of the following:
Parent, grandparent, step-parent, pa
rent through adoption, husband, wife,
child, grandchild, stepchild, adopte
child, brother, sister, half-sister, half
brother, brother through adoption,
stepmother, uncle, aunt, nephew,
niece, brother-in-law, sister-in-law; any
person who was in the relation of a
parent to the insured for one year be
fore the insured’s enlistment, the chil
dren of such person, and parent
through adoption of the insured’s wife
through adoption of the insured’s wife
or husband.
“The monthly compensation paid lin
ger the new law,” said Mr. Sweet, “is
^more than double—almost treble—
that paid in the past. This increase,
which is permanent, will add $80,000.
OOO a year to the amounts paid by the
government to the disabled ex-service
men and their families,
“By the retroactive provisions of the
law, all payments of compensation will
be increased to the new basis. Pay
ments now are being made by the war
risk bureau to make up the difference
between the old rate of compensation
and the new one. This is an immedi
ate and direct benefit to 241,822 vet
erans, among whom $14,500,000 is be
ing distributed. For instance, an un
married soldier who has been drawing
$30 a month for the last year will re
ceive $600 at once, the monthly com
pensation by the new law being in
creased by $50 in his case.”
Mr. Sweet also explained the per
manent monthly increases provided
for all disabled ex-service men. For
total temporary disability the new
compensation will be paid as follows:
To the unmarried veteran, $80 a
4month, an increase of $30.
To the veteran with a wife, $90 a
month, an increase from $45.
To the veteran with a wife and
ctf/ld, $95 a mont; , an increase from
$55.
To the veteran with a wife and two
or more children, $100 a month, an
increase from $65,
To the veteran who has no wife,
but one child, $90 a month, with $5
for each additional child, an increase
from $40.
To the veteran with dependent pa
rents, an extra allowance of $10 a
month for each is also granted.
“Of course, all disabilities will not
come within the rating of total tem
porary,” Mr. Sweet said, “and so the
new law provides that all disabilities
shall be rated by the war risk bureau.
These other ratings are: Partial and
temporary,' total and permanent and
partial and permanent; and for each
the monthly compensation shall be a
percentage of the degree of reduction
in earning capacity resulting from
this disability. The reduction in earn
ing capacity must be at least 10 per
cent before one can receive any com
pensation.
“For total permanent disability the
compensation is fixed at $100 a month.
The law specifically provides that the
loss of both feet or both hands, or
the sight of both eyes, or the loss of
one foot and one hand, or one foot and
one eye, or one hand and one eye, or
becoming permanently bedridden shall
be deemed to be total. permanent dis
ability. Then, too. double total per
manent disability entitles one to $200
a month as long as he lives. For in
stance, this double payment is for the
few men who lost both eyes, one hand
and one foot, or both eyes and both
hands, or both eyes and both feet
“The helplessly disabled are further
cared for under the new law by the
provisions directing the war risk bu
reau to allow an additional $20 a
month to those veterans in need of an
attendant.
“No penalty is imposed by the law
on those disabled men for their indi
vidual success in overcoming the han
dicap of a permanent injury. The law

directs that disability ratings shall
be based as far as practicable upon
the average impairments of earning
capacity resulting from injuries in
civil occupations, and not upon the
impairment of earning capacity in each
individual case. From time to time
the bureau is directed to readjust the
schedule of ratings in accordance with
actual experience.
“Besides the money paid by the gov
ernment as compensation to the war
disabled men, the law also provides
that all injured veterans shall be fur
nished with reasonable government
medical and hospital services, and
such supplies, including artificial
limbs, trusses and similar appliances,
as the war risk bureau may deter
mine.
“This medical and hospital treat
ment will be given to Americans who
may be living in foreign countries as
well as in the United States, and
Americans who fought in the armies
of the allies can receive the treat
ment at hospitals in this country.
“Twenty to thirty thousand Ameri
cans were part of the Canadian army,
and of necessity the Canadian goyern

maimed and crippled, no matter where
they may live. Many of these have
returned to the United States and can
be treated in our own government hos
pitals by the new law authorizing the
bureau to establish reciprocal arrange

go to Canada can be treated in the
Canadian hospitals, or supplied with
artificial limbs and appliances. In
either case one government will call

NOTED BURGLAR
“RETIRES” AT 75
“Frank Fores,” After Serving 14
Prison Terms, Becomes an
Apple Picker.
__ V
Jefferson City, Mo.—After an excit
ing career of burglary and Jail break
ing which has netted him 52 years of
prison sentences, of which he spent 32
years and a month in actual confine
ment, “Frank Fores,” at the age of
seventy-five, is to settle down to apple
picking in Maries county, Missouri.
“Fores,” which isn’t his real name,
has just been released from the Mis
souri state prison after serving his
fourteenth “hitch”—his eleventh in
this state. He announced that he had
i
Settled Down to Apple Picking.
been given a job in an apple orchard
near Vienna and was going there. His
wife and children all are dead.
Fores served his first term in Joliet,
111., prison in 1867 and later served
a five-year term in the Fort Madison,
Towa, prison for robbing a post of
fice.
In 1885 he first became acquainted
with the Missouri penitentiary as an
inmate and has spent most of his time
there since. He managed to escape
the habitual criminal act. probably
through the fact that he has never
been tried more than twice in any
one county in the state. His trade,
before taking up that of burglary, was
engineering. .
Adequate Personal Efficiency Founded
Primarily on Economy of Time
By S. W. STRAUS, American Society for Thrift .
d _
Any young man or young woman in America today might well mem
orize these words from I xml Chesterfield :
“Every moment you lose is so much character and advantage lost; as,
on the other hand, every moment you now employ usefully is so much
time wisely laid out at prodigious interest.”
No phase of thrift is of greater imp.ortance than economy of time.
It is easier to save dollars than to save hours.
Aesop’s ancient fable of the tortoise and the hare was founded on
excellent philosophy, for persistent effort is bound to bring successful
results. It is not hard for any of us to prevent the loss of days or weeks,
but it is very easy to slip into the habit of squandering moments.
The man with the driving personality, who forges ahead in spite of
every obstacle, is unwilling to ever lose a single fhoment of time daring
his business hours.
Adequate personal efficiency must be founded primarily on timi
economy.
There must be proper periods taken for rest and recreation, tor this a
thrift of health. But there should never be absolute idleness.
The young man or young woman just beginning life’s stern activitiei
can learn no better lesson than thrift of time. Without knowing thi#
secret there can be no substantial success.
