Face to Face ; With r George Ade America's Great Humorist ■ (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) I Ihirlng his cub reporter days in ( Chicago there were signs of George ! Ade becoming a literary man. He ate , apple pie with Eugene Field, played i poker with Opie Reid, and stayed up i nights at the Press Club reading Shakespeare with John McGovern. This red-cheeked lad hailed from Indiana, and among his books was “Aesops 1-Aibles.” Ear and eyes served him well. His satire in slang constitutes an Interesting record for future historians, and made even the prim natives of Evanston smile. In Indiana there is a town called Kentland, which claims the proud distinction of being the birthplace of George Ade in IkgtT The scenes and incidents of that boyhood are rereflected with the usual Hoosier fidelI ity to realistic detail in his plays and | novels. A student of Purdue Uni versity. he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1887. hut he carried away more than a diploma - The impressions and and incidents of college days are preserved for posterity in his everpopular "College Widow” and "Just Out of College." The popular "Sultan of Sulu" was . written during summer days at Highland Park. George Ade was then dis- > tinguished as the owner of one of the < few automobiles in the neighbor i hood. It was a spider-top buggy de- t sign, with a lever tiller attachment to front. It was christened the "rolling t peanut" becanse when it started one t could not tell whether it was going . forward or aft. It provided a climax c for "Sultan of Sulu" when It was « backed into the library where George t Ade was endeavoring to lasso the cli- 1 matic act of this play to the music of < a phonograph. Amid shattered glass j and with a prlma donna smile, the r disturbed author is reported to have c said "damm” and closed the act. t George Ade's playa have an originality which has made him not only a a popular author, but one whose books have outlived the usual butter- 1 | fly existence of a best seller. < Hazelton Farm, at Brook. Indiana. I with its broad, fertile acres, is his I home. He Is classified as a real dirt i farmer, but travels far afield when I I deep snows come, to create motion it pictures which have proved very - in in sunny California.

■■ v I. GEORGE ADE says: "I find motion pictures fascinating. The restless carving of .people, for sqtlon—action is answer for the universal popularity of motion pictures.” tried and tested in Hollywood. During the World War George Ade was an active member of the Indiani Council of Defense, and carrieil” on the work with the patriotic spirit of his father, who was a Civil War veteran, and to whom he was much attached A quiet, retiring, g-ninl man. with blue eyes, spare in form, with comment that has the sparkle of his pen. George Ade maintains the liatlnctlon of being a bachelor. A member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, he is Identified with the forward movements in American literature and drama. In a revival of plays and light opera there are few that would bring more happy memories to the middleaged and more delight to the young, eager to know what their elders enjoy •d in their merry days of youth, than the productions of George Ade. His books are popular in Europe be cause of the aufhnr's distinctive Americanism. His "Fables in Slang” rather eclipsed the fame of the original Aesop and there are many more read George Ade's "Fables'than those of the original and ancient Aesop. After witnessing his last motion picture in New York. George Ade commented like a philosopher: “I find making a motion picture fascinating work. Making motions to supply the use of words stimulates interest in ancient pantomime. The restless craving of people for action —action is an answer accounting for tlic universal popularity cf motiuti pictures.”

EXPLAINS NEW J SOLDIER BONUS Congressman Vestal Tells How Veterans May Determine Their Bonus Congressman Vbstal has furnished this paper with the following tables and information on rhe new bonus bill, und the manner in which voter ans can detenuine for themselves the amount that will he - due them when the government is ready to aci on their applications. He will be glad to assist any ex service man in securing the cash adjustment or certificate of insurance, or to furnish any additional tnforma tion concerning same, upon request. How to Figure Your Bonus The bonus bill provides for a cash payment of 250, or a paidup 20-year endowment insurance policy, the val ue of the latter depending upon length of service. As a bonus of S6O was given al) veterans upon their discharge, the ! first CO days in the service will not be counted. If all service was in the United States, the maximum allowed Is (ME, and if part was pverseas, the maximum allowed Is $625. If you. as a veteran, wish Jo cal culate the amount of your bonus, pro ceed ns follows: Estimate the number of days you were in the service, minus the first sixty. Multiply the number of days spent in the United State* by one dollar, and the number spent in ’he foreign service by a dollar und a quarter. If the total is fifty dollars or less, your bonus will be 230 in cash. If the amount is more than 250. your bonus will be an insurance policy- To get the value of this insurance policy, add 25% to your basic total, or the total figures on length of service Then multiply this second total bj one of the “factors” gfw-n below jand corresponding -to the age of the veteran, and this amount will be the face value of your insurance policy. • For instance, Jones served 6 months in the United States and 4 months abroad. Fer home service at 21 a day. his bonus will be 120 days at *1 a day. or 2120. His foreign service w II be 120 day* at 21.25 a day. or 2150. That makes a total of 2270. With the 25'v added, the total is brought to $337.50 Suppose Jone* is 30 years old. The factor for his age ■s 2.524. The face value of his inurance policy will be $337.50 x 2.524. or $851.85Loans may be made on the policies tp to 96% of their current face value my time after 2 year* from date of iasuancc. On a ll.irtte pulley. tor instance. at the end of 2 years a. loan ■»f SB7 93 could be made, und on the I same policy at the end of 19 years al loan of 2831.23 would be possible.
