Quinn Points Out Desirable
Features of Pending
Compensation Bill.
This is the eigfith and last of a
series of' articles by the national
commander of the American
Legion on the truth about adjusted
compensation as the world war
veteran sees it.
By JOHN R. QUINN,
NltUnl Commander, American lotion.
(Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 4.
We have considered this past week
the arguments propounded by the
opponents to the adjustel compen
sation bill, and their tactics You
have read the legion’s answer to
those arguments, answers which I
beiieve to be irrefutable. But the
best argument for the adjusted com
pensation bill is the bill itself: and
I intend in this concluding article
to explain the bill Itself, and tell
what it will do. Because I think
it is the greatest Americanism
measure ever htroduced in Con
gress.
What is the bill? Briefly, it is a
measure written expressly to help
the veteran to get back on his feet, !
financially, and make him better j
able to compete with thoes who
did not enter the service.
It is a four-fold measure provid
ing a mandatory feature and three
options. It bas been said that large
quantities of cash will change
hands. This is not true. The only
cash feature of the bill is the
mandatory one which was put in
there for alministrative reasons
only.
This feature provides that, for
men who served 110 days or lesß.
there must be a cash payment
made at the rate of one dollar per
day of service, from this is sub
tracted the S6O received at time of
discharge, and the remaining SSO
or less is paid in cash. Treasury
actuaries have estimated the cost
Os this clause at $16,000,000.
The three options are: Adjusted
compensation, vocational training
and farm and home aid. Let us
oonsider them in their order.
Life Insurance.
The adjusted service certificate
la mls-named. What it is actually
is a paid-up, endowment, life in
surance policy, maturing in 20
years. It is computed on a money
basis in this fashion: One dollar a
day for domestic service, not to
exceed SSOO, and one dollar and a
quarter a day for overseas and
afloat service, with a maximum of
$635.
A certificate for the veteran is
drawn up. The amount receivable
by his service is to draw 4% per
cent interest for twenty years, at
the end of which it will be pay
able tq the veteran, if he is alive.
By that time the original $625 has
a little more than trebled, and that
trebled sqm is the face value of
the certificate. In case the vet
eran dies his beneficiary draws tne
maximum amount Immediately.
That gives the veteran security
and helps him go out to earn his
bread, knowing his loved ones are
protected.
If he must have money, and
many veterans must have money,
he can borrow 50 per cent of the
certificate’s face value from a bank,
drawing his own note and using the
certificate as collateral. The cer
tificate is non-negotiable and re
mains the property of the veteran
till it is redemmed at the end of
twenty years.
Educational Feature.
Now vocational education: Five
years ago it would have been a
precious clause, used by many. But
now I think it Is too late. The
men who might have gone back to
their studies couldn’t do it then,
and it is too late now. The govern
ment took them out of college to
fight for it, but didn’t get around
to sending them back.
The farm-and-home-aid clause is
a popular one, for most of the vet
erans are over thirty years of age
now and thinking of getting a grub
stake in the land. At the same
rate of computation, as used in
the adjusted pay certificate, the
veteran can, if he wishes, apply the
adjusted pay toward the purchase
of a home or a farm, or improve

ments in either. Now let me tell
you, that the veteran who owns
his own home or an equity in it,
is a better citizen and not likely
to be shaken by restless influences
at work today.
Asset to Community.
The veteran is a community asset,
and a better citizen, by owning a
part of the soil he fought to save.
In other American wars the Gov
ernment gave him the land. Now,
when there is no more public land,
the veteran asks the Government
help to buy property. Is it not fair
and just that the Government help
him? I think so.
That, in brief, yet faithfully out
lined, is the adjusted compensation
bill. Do you think this measure is
just and wise, as the millions of
citizens In twenty-two States have
so expressed? Do you think It will
help the veteran’s rehabilitation
financially? The Amerioan Legion
does, and that is the reason why
it supports the hill, for the Ameri
can Legion believes America should
be made; a finer place to live in, and
bends its efforts always in that
direction.
OLDIRCESTER
PORCELAIN IS
TREASURED
Factory Was Established in
1751 by an English Chemist
and An Apothecary.,
Royal Worcester porcelain, espe
cially rare old specimens of maroon
color, are always looked upon by
collectors, with pardonable pride.
The product Is beautiful in color
execution as well as design.
The Worcester factory was estab
lished In 1751 by Dr. John Wall, a
chemist, and William Davis, an
apothecary. At first the porcelain
made reproduced Oriental designs;
but in 1768 Dresden and Sevres
ideas were adopted. George 111
visited the works in 1788, the ven
ture becoming the Royal Worcester
Porcelain Company. A great hit
was made at this place about 1757
with ware printed with a portrait
of Frederick the Great. Carlyle
has something to say about this
“pottery apotheosis" of his hero.
The Worcester ground colors are
well know. They include a deep
blue, a turquoise, a lapis lazuli, a
pea-green, a maroon, and a canary
yellow. The gilding was good, and
the painting of tropical birds and
flowers done during the earlier
and best periods. No other arti
ficial porcelain excels the body of
Worcester, either In closeness of
texture or perfect union with the
glaze. It is said that no piece of
old Worcester has been found
crazed; a fault arising either, as in
Chelsa sometimes, from excessive
thickness of the glaze or, ms in
Derby, from a defect in the body.
The early porcelain of Worcester
has a cold and coarse look; the
glaze is 'not white, but gray, and
the ware has not much beauty.
Later, the wares were white, and
the glaze became very fine. Color
decorations became very fine. Bril
liant colors In birds, flowers and
other paintings appeared. From
1768 to 1780 Sevres styles were
used.
The productions of Worcester of
the present period have been
brought to a wondrous state of
perfection, both as to body, glaze,
form and decoration. The jeweled
porcelain for which Worcester Is
so famous Is totally different from
that made at Sevres or Trurnay.
The English jewelery is of far
higher and purer character Each
of the jewels is formed of color
melted on to the china.
The first mark used was a simple
W. Another mark of about the
same time is the crescent, which
was discontinued In 1798. The
Chinese-looklng mark, a square
with a cross In the center Is found
on porcelain prior to 1783 and the
cross swords of Dresden ere oc
casionally found.
