NEW BUREAU TO AID EX-SOLDIER TO SPEED WORK Must Not Be Taken as Panacea for All His Troubles. SCOPE IS BROADENED Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By COL. CHARLES R. FORBES. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—The veterans' bureau created for the ex-service man, authorized by the act of Congress of Aug. 9, 1921, will, In the coarse of time remove delays and red tape which has. In the past, hindered the administration of soldier and sailor relief by Government agencies. While the creation of the veterans’ bureau eliminates oae of the chief difficulties In the way of soldier relief worz, that of duplication of effort, it must be remembered, however, that the creation of the bureau is not In itself an Immediate panacea of all the troubles of the exoervice person, and that too much must not be expected In the Tery beginning. It has taken several years to build up the reserve Government machinery, and It cannot be made) over In a night. The work of decentralization, which has been provided for In the .veterans’ bureau, to be really successful, must be gradual. To make any hasty steps would be a calamity and, If the ex-service men are educated to feel that in a couple of weeks they will receive all they desire In the way of compensation and medical treatment and that all cases will be settled within twenty-four hours after receipt it will defeat the purposes of the Bweet bill, creating the new bureau Time, and time alone, will prove the efficiency of the veterans’ bureau. The work of decentralization will of necessity bo gradual, and yet as prompt as Is consistent with proper functioning and the work. LIBERAL rOLICT FOR SERVICE MAX'S CASE. The Veterans’ Bureau Is empowered by law to care for the ex-service man under a very liberal policy, the salient features of which are as follows: Organization—. All of the functions previously performed In reference to the administration of Government Insurance and compensation claims by the bureau cf War Risk Insurance; the hospitalization, medical care and treatment by the United States Public Health Service of ex service men and women, and the vocational training of Incapacitate! soldiers by the Federal board for vocational educatlou are consolidated In an independent oreanizntlon to be known as the Veterans’ Bureau, under the direct supervision of the President. Fourteen regional officers hare b*en established throughout the country, snd working from these fourteen regional offices are authorized 140 suboffices. Ths fourteen regional offices will, under rules and regulations prescribed, bear complaints. examine, rate and award, compensation claims grant medical, gurgical, dental and hospital treatment, convalescent care and grant vocational training. The subofflces will assimilate all Information for their respective localities and transmit the same to the regional officers for final determination. SCOPE OF BCEEAC IS WIDENED. The regional offices will rate and a word all claims for compensation filed subsequent to passage of legislation creatine the Veterans' Bureau. All claims on file In Washington prior to the passage of the above-mentioned legislation will con-

tinue for the prevent to be handled from th central office in Washington. Previous to the establishment of the Veterans' Bureau under the Sweet bill. It was Impossible to provide medical care and treatment to Incapacitated veterans suffering from a service disease or Injury of less than 10 per cent. Now medical care and treatment are extended to all service men suffering from disease or Injury" which was contracted In service or from an aggravation of a pre-existing Injury or diseaso which was Incurred Id line of duty and was not caused by hii own willful misconduct. This broadens the scope of the Veterans' Bureau to a marked degree. The only limitation, however, to the provisions of this law Is that the application for treatment must apply within one year from the passage of the act, but the time of treatment may extend over the period of one year from the date the treatment was granted.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. DANGER POINT IN ROAD ELIMINATED Commission Relieves Condition Near Hartford City. By substituting two lines of tile and turning the course of a deep open ditch which parallels the tSate road for 600 feet about a mile and a half from Hartford City on the Hartford City-Ft. Wayne highway, the State highway commission will eliminate one of the most dongerous turns and bridge approaches la Indiana. This action follows a visit to Hartford City of William J. Titus, chief bridge engineer, who Inspected the situation and recommended the changes necessary to bring about the desired relief, Lawrence Lyons, director, said. The open ditch at the point of contact with the rotd crosses under an obsolete type of wooden bridge and then parallels the road for a considerable distance. The bridge spproach is on a sharp angle and frequently. If a motorist is not familiar with the road approaches at any considerable speed, cars swerve Into the ditch. Numerous automobiles have been wrecked and several persons Injured, some seriously, at this point In the highway long known as a menace to travel. J. P. Moore, a farmer along the highway, has donated the land to route the ditch away from the road and turn It Into a stream on his place. To eliminate the bridge two llnss of 80-lnch tile will be used and thus flood waters will be properly cared for, thts method also saving considerable money which the commission otherwise would hare found necessary to spend to construct anew bridge.

THEY ARE LAUGHING WITH LIZZIE And *The Lottery Man 3 at the Murat This Week
Poor dear Elizabeth Patterson. That’s the feeling one gets in seeing Miss Patterson as Lizzie Roberts, an old maid, in "The Lottery Man." Lizzia has a terrible time of It because she is a companion to a rich woman. Mrs. Peyton, who at the age of f.fty and over, is ambitious to keep young and good looking. Poor Lizzie has to try out all the face creams, modern reduction methods and eveu food before Mrs. Peyton will attempt them. The play might be called, "Leave it to Lizzie." For a while Uzxie seems to be v toning as she possesses the lucky lottery ticket which would make her the bride of n man many years her Junior. Lizzie resolves to "land" a man while the landing le good but lu the end poor Lizzie is destined to remain an old ruald necanso Lizzie had ‘jgraud larcenyed ’ the lucking K ttery ticket. Miss Patterson caused a small sized riot last night when she walked on the stage of the Murat as Lizzie. Lizzie was dressed in black and wore a small black hat with two small feathers sticking out at each side. Her face was bleached with experiments in face, creams and hor nppetlte was tremendous because she was doing all of the dieting for her mistress, Mrs. Peyton. Miss Patterson was at her funniest In the first and third acts of this play. Many cf the women patrons of the Murat will enjoy the second act where Lizzie, poo.- slim Lizzie, Is taking the flesh reduction lessons for Mrs. Peyton. The third a't reveals Lizzie all dolled up in attire suitable for a girl of eighteen. In this act she is prepared to reap the har- 1 vest of bliss by virtue of the fact she held the winning lottery ticket. The Lizzie role is an achievement for Elizabeth Patterson. Lizzie hasn't so much to say in this play but her expressions of grief and mild rebellion aguiust doing all the suffering for Mrs. Peyton, are fine acting achievements. Everyone loves Elizabeth Patterson and It is a safe prediction that Miss Patterson will draw some banner business at the Murat this week. Judith Lowry la cast as the old age fighting Mrs. Peyton. Her work Is even, natural and convincing. Marjorie Vonnegut Is seen as Helene lleyer, a rich girl, who marries the lottery man. although she did not hold the lottery ticket. As usual Miss Vonnegut gives a capable performance. Julia McMahon as Mrs. Wright has another old woman role which she does so welL McKay Morris Is cast as Jack Wright, the lottery man. The remainder of the cast haven't so mu- h to do, but each bit Is played well. Asa farce, "The lottery Man” has its weaknesses. It gets off to a flyirg start, but the action drops for a while lu the second act. The third act regains to a dcgrc* the a*nlou lost in the second a--* Indianapolis will enjoy "The Littery Man" because Mr. Walker has given Elizabeth Patterson her big comedy chan-e of the sou son. You will laugh with Lizzie nt the Murat this week. —W. D.

i In Earlier Days In former times, when the town butcher or farmer himself dressed and cured the meat for the community, he could not always tell how it would turn out. His methods were crude; partly traditional, partly guesswork. His tests were few and inconclusive. Meat packing - of today, as carried on by Swift & Company, has changed all that. It is scientific. Nothing is left to chance; nothing taken for granted. The most painstaking care and attention are given to every step. Processes are worked out on a large scale with minute exactness. Methods are continually revised and improved. Cleanliness is insisted upon. Drastic, incessant inspections are the order of the day. Swift products are uniform, graded according to quality. 1 a~e Dacon, feu instance S Swift & Company set out years ago to make a delicious, savory bacon which should be uniformly excellen t.

Charles Udell, Charles Whyte and Billy Tate. Even at their advanced years tbe olil men put on their black makeup and stage a real minstrel show with Jokes, songs (real ones), a whistling number anil several well done soft shoe (lances. These mon stem to get as much fun out of their act os the audience does. Although the minstrel men are the applause leaders of the bill, yet it is Nell McKinley and company who put the audience Into a mirth riot. This man McKinley Is a "nut" comedian who spreads bushels of his sample!) all over the house. Ho works on tbe stage, down In the audience and has a s'nger In a box. Whoever the unidentified party is ir 1 19 box, he stopped the show with his McKinley sails right along on the melody ovation and wins for himself the outstanding hit of tho bill. It isn't what McKinley does that counts hut it is the way he puts it over. May and Florence are two women who know how so put over a song without howling. They work quietly and in a classy war. They ilacco even better thau they sing. A nice, pretty and refined act Murray and Lane have a noisy sketch which tiiey call "Hubby's Holiday."

STATE ROADS IN FINE CONDITION Law Providing Patrol Maintenance System Not Being Enforced in Few Counties. The time Is right at hand for good roads boosters T{i this vicinity to get busy with the county commissioners snd the highway superintendent if advantage is to be taken of the new road patrol maintenance law passed by the last Legislature, according tooliffa islature, according to officials of the Hoo- j sier State Automobile Association, who J were instrumental in the pessage of this act. In a statement issued from the headquarters it is pointed out that the new law is a real good roads measure, adaptable to every county in Indiana, "bu!,” says the statement, “it will not enforce itself." ‘ Continuing, the statement issued by A. G. Lupton of Hartford City, president of : the Hoosier State Auto Association, says: I “Every one who has had occasion to motor over State-maintained hifhways this summer knows the general excellence of these roads. This excellence is due solely to proper draining and proper maintenance of the roadbed. The Statte high way commission’s results therefore have been excellent, and. due to our association’s activiites in securing the adoption of the county road patrol law, each county In the State now has the proper authorization to adopt similar patrol maintenance plan for its main highways. "Unless backers of good roads projects In each county get behind their county council the county commissioners and the highway superintendent, however. It Is going to be an easy matter to forget or overlook the provisions of this law. Therefore, we again call attention to its provisions because the law specifies that roads an which thts plan ia to be uaed must be enumerated by the county highway superintendent and the estimate of tho expense set forth and presented to the county commissioners thirty days prior to the fixing of the anual tax levy each fall. Inasmuch as this tax levy is fixed at the session county council beginning on the first Monday in September, It is apparent that the road bud. get stipulating such roads as are to be maintained by the patrol method must he made up by the latter part of Angust. "It Is the hope of the Hoosier Antoinobilemobtle Association that good roads
Interests will not ‘overlook a bet’ this fall. Our association Is recognized as the leader In good roads activities; ths leader in all activities that go to benefit and protect antomobile owners. We certainly need cooperation from the motorists ot Indiana if we are to carry on the everincreaslng program of benefits an*! protection to the public and to the automobile interests.

THE proved oil producing area in the United States is estimated as only 4500 square miles. When you contrast this with the area of the United 5tate5—3,026,789 square miles —the proved area is but a finger print on the map. Yet from this 4500 square miles must come the raw material to drive all of our motor driven machines, and practically all of the oil to lubricate the machinery which makes possible the happiness and prosperity of the nation. To magnify this finger print is the task in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is engaged. By reason of the Burton Process, which largely increases the amount of gasoline recoverable from a given quantity of crude oil, and dozens of otner methods developed in its laboratories and refineries, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has multiplied the quantity of finished petroleum products available for the use of men wherever they may live. The development of the Burton Process has done more to promote the manufacture of automotive machinery than any other single discovery since the usefulness of gasdine as a fuel was made known. Because of it there is a plentiful supply of crude oil available today, and gasoline is selling for a low price. it the price of this fuel would be beyond the reach of the average man. The use of this process is not confined to the refiners of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) alone, but is being made available to others under conditions which are just and equitable to all. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a just pride in the work it has done, and is doing, to so increase the quantity and quality of its products as to make possible the use of labor saving machinery throughout the world. Thus is the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) doing a big work in conserving the natural resources of the nation, and in helping others to do likewise. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
