Harding Plans to In
sure Vets; Considering
Industrial Protection
Washington.—Realizing that prac
tical politics in all probability will
force the passage of some form of coin
pensatory legislation for world war
veterans before the congressional elec
tions next fall. President Harding now
has under serious consideration a sug
gestion to offer the returned soldiers,
instead of a cash bonus, such industrial
insurance as would protect them from
every misfortune which might come to
t them.
The Administration, it is learned on
good authority, is much interested in
this proposal, despite the fact that it is
still in unfinished shape, and Govern
ment experts and actuaries are now
tn-iking investigation in order to decide i
how far the protective features should j
or0 and how large an expenditure it!
" i
would require.
A iJu i ^ y*
in view or me stateiucuu uy
w. Mellon. Secretary of the Treasury,
in his annual report, published Tues
day, that conditions have not changed
since the President want before the
Senate and induced it to send the sol
dier bonus bill back to the finance
committee, and that the Treasury De
partment is still opposad to the enact
ment of bonus legislation, it seems as
sured that President Harding intends
to stand untliucbinglv against the de
: mands for an immediate cash bonus.
Nevertheless, advocates of the cash
s bon US’ measure assert that they will
make every effort to pass it, notwith
- standing the objections of the Adonn
i istration.
“Nothing can cnange me—we will,
pass the bonus bill, ! asserted Ivepre
sentative Fordney, of Michigan, chair
man of the House ways and means
comrasttee, indicating an intention to
follow his previously announced plan
of reporiiog the bonus bill and urging
an immediate vote.
Under the proposed plan, according ,
to reliable information obtained today,
this industrial insurance would . not j
only .protect the foumer service man in,
event of injury, sickness or death, but
likewise would protect him from dis
aster through inability to obtain em
ployment. The bureau charged with
the administration of such a plan of
compensation, according to the outline
, now under consideration, would be the
authority to determine whether or not
an applicant was entitled to receive
assistance _
Citizenship Questions.
A woman loses her citizenship and
right to vote by marrying an alien. A
man who marries an alien woman does
, not lose his. His wife also may vote
without being naturalized. Birth in
* the United States makes anyone a citi
zent regardless of the nationality of the
parents. Children of American citi
. jzans, no matter where born, have full
rights of citizenship: However, on
reaching the age of 18, if still living
abroad, they must record at an Amer
ican consulate their intention to re
main citizens and at the age of 21 must
take ihe oath of allegiance to the
United States. The question of presi
dential qualifications in the case of an
American born outside the country has
never come up, but there is little doubt
r that a child of American parents, even
though born outside of the United
States, would be considered to be a
“natural born citizen” within the
■ meening of the Constitution. 'Current

Progress in the Wireless Phone.
Hearing the human voice for six
hundred miles across the sea without
wires is reported by the president of a
French wireless telephone company.
He is Emile F. Giradeau, and came to
this country as adviser to the Franch
delegates to the arms conference. The
ship in which he came was fitted with
a wireless telephone. M. Giradeau
says he coul 1 hear perfectly in con
versations with places on shore and
with other ships that were hundreds
of miles away. The wireless apparatus
used less power than an ordinary elec
tric light. Giradeau thinks it will n|ot
be long before wirelecs telephones will
come into general use.

them is that in 1920 the people spent
more money for candy and chewing
gum thau the Government spent to
support the army, And this ia spite
of bad times! Army expenses for the
year were about $418,000,000, while the
country consumed no less $750,000,000
worth "of candy and gum. Even a
larger amount, $834,000,000. was speat
