Scotty merely smiled at the time, but, on being told that thc chances yon watch it' I askit him. He shookit his heed I askit him thc second time. He shookit his heed again.

Soldier relief leg islation with probable provision for a cash bonus, funds for- which would be raised by sales of juxuries taxes, was approved by the house ways and means committee by a vote of 15 to 6. Details of the bill to be recommended will bo worked out by sub-committees to be appointed Monday. Members of the committee hope to obtain final action by thc house before the contemplated recess for the na tional political conventions, but they express doubt when action by the sen ate could be had at this session. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, republican leader, after a conference with other senate republicans as to fu ture legislation in the senate, said ho thought this would include a bill to give a money bonus to former service men with provisions for a special tax to raise the necessary funds. The pro :7pi approved by the house commit tec JeHarcs against bond issue. It is understood to have been submitted to Representative Longworth, republi can, Ohio and was discussed at great length in executive session. While the exact form of the legisla tion was not decided upon committee discussion was said to nave indicated approval of a plan of extending voca tional education as an alternative to the cash bonus. These two plans are a part of thc American Legion's pro gram. Its other selectod plan of gov ernment aid to soldiers and sailors for building homes or obtaining owner ship of farms were said by some mem bers of the committee to involve too many difficulties to be worked out by legislation, before the recess. Spokesmen for the committee said it was planned to have the filial draft of the legislation ready for submission to the house within a fortnight. It was said that there had been no decision as to whether the bonus would be paid in a lump sum or be graduated according to the length of service of each indi vidual. The program is understood to have the approval of the republican leaders of the house assuring early consider ation for it. 0 HE KNEW HIM Jersey 1911-1913; president 1913-1921.

A remarkable incident in the Los Angeles race brings tthis point out in a striking manner. - Art Klein was leading the field on the 183rd mile, Suddenly his right rear wheel collap sed, the steel spokes being sheared off close to the rim. Rearing wildly, the car scrabled crazily about on the re mains of the wheel, but the fully in flated Goodyear cord tire, perfectly mounted, swept on down the track at terrific speed in the direction the car had been taking. When it finally came to a stop, it was found uninjured. This is the first time that' such a freak performance, demonstrating the ruggedness of tires, has ever been wit nessed during a race.
