VETERAN RELIEF MAY RE RAISED HALFBILLION Biggest Item on Program for Year Is World War Measure. Bi Hcrippt-Hmcdrd Snrtpanrr Alliance WASHINGTON, June 10.—If congress follows the precedent it established in passing -Jhe Spanish war veterans’ pension bill over President Hoover's veto, it may, before this session ends, increase the government’s annual expenditure for veteran relief by nearly tjalf a billion dollars. There now is before the President for signature a Civil war pension bill which wHi cost as much as the Spanish war bill, about $12,000.000 a year. A total of 3,821 special pension bills have passed congress and await signature. They involve expenditure of $819,000. The senate has passed bills granting pension increases to the army and navy and to maimed soldiers, and the house probably will follow suit. The cost of these bills amount to about a million and a quarter dollars. World War Bill Biggest But the biggest item on the veterans’ program for the year is the World war relief bill, t ’’en this •was before the house it was liberalized in one respect after another until the original estimate of $45,000,000 cost was increr and to a minimum of $189,000,C00 and a possible $400,000,000. The bill passed the house with a large majority. It now is in the senate finance committee, where an attempt is being made to prune it down, but it is extremely probable the total again will be increased whn it comes to the floor of the senate for passage. Even if President Hoover does not veto the other comparatively small pension bill, he w’ill veto this relief bill, Washington believes. Veterans Expect Victory But, in view of the coming elections, and the tremendous majorities mustered to over-ride the Spanish war veto, veterans are confidently expecting final enactment of their entire program. At the present time, the government is spending annually $780,000,000 to care for all its veterans. This Includes all pensions, veterans’ hospitals and soldiers’ homes. Os this amount $511,000,000 is spent for the benefit of World war veterans. If the new veterans’ bill should pass, extending the period in which veterans may be compensated for sicknesses contracted to 1930, the cost of caring for World war veterans alone may reach a total just under a billion dollars a year. This would bring the total cost of veteran care to $1,196,119,640 a year, which is more than one fourth of the federal government’s entire ■ annual outlay. COUNTY COUNCIL TO ACT ON BOND ISSUE $350,000 Temporary Loan for Flood and Sewage Work Proposed.

the TREADMILL was introduced by Sir William Cubitt in 1818 and was designed.as a means of employing criminals usefully. It was a large, hollow cylinder of wood on an iron frame, around the circumference of which was a series of steps about 7 J /2 inches apart. The criminals, steadying themselves by am handrails on either side, trod on these, their ~/\ weight causing the mill to revolve and compelling them to take each step in turn. “ * / How many of us have not seen pictures of Z these treadmills, or read about them—the m monotony, the torture—hour after, hour I" ' ■ treading, treading? And been thankful they have been abolished? Yet—have they? In the old form, yes. But we have other treadmills today. Anyone—man or woman—doing work, day in and day out, that can be done by electricity—through its servants, electrical appliances is treading a treadmill.
