SOLDIER LOANS SEEN SPUR TO TRADE IN U. S. $400,000,000 Poured Into Business Channels by Bonus Act. Bu Scripps-Hovcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 13. Approximately $400,000,000 has been placed in circulation since congress liberalized the loan provisions of the bonus act. This new buying power, some economists feel, was largely responsible for the slight recovery shown in all efiarts for the latter part of February. Whether it will continue to help ia a matter of argument, as is the subject of how the veterans are using this money. Ralph O’Neill, national commander of the American Legion, insists the funds are going for necessities and to relieve distress. During the debate in the senate, Senator Daniel O. Hastings (Rep., Del.), argued that the ex-soldiers would waste the loans on luxuries, and that the general effect on business would be harmful. Figures Below Predictions "the exact figures through the week of May 2 show that 1,785,593 have borrowed the 50 per cent authorized in the recent act, the total of such loans reaching $680,021,000. Since the amount that could be borrowed previously was only 22.5 per cent, $400,000,000 is a fair estimate of new borrowings. This is far below the figures predicted by President Hoover and Secretary Mellon when they were trying to defeat the bill. It is several hundred millions short of the estimates of congressional sponsors of the measure, who predicted a total cost of between $500,000,000 and $750,000,000. Applications Dwindle The total borrowed since loans became available several years ago is $1,024,502,000, advanced on 4,065,299 applications, in many cases one veteran has made several applications. He may have borrowed first w'hen the loan was limited to R per cent of the face value, applied again when it was raised to 22.5 per cent, and still a third time when it reached the maximum of 50 per cent. Applications have dwindled from about 61,000 a week early in April to around 12.000, but business is still fairly brisk. More than 123,000 applications were acted on in the week ending May 2. Full Bonus Is Aim Next session cf congress will see a bill introduced to pay the other half of the bonus to World war veterans and cancel all interest on present loans, Herman W. Weimer, national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, told members of the local post at the Lincoln on Tuesday night. Defending the bonus already made, Weimer declared that most of the money went to pay debts and purchase necessaries. Answering the charge that bonus money was spent for gambling and liquor, he said: “Only a small percentage did this. But what of it? Who rates it any better than they do?” National weeklies of large circulation are engaged in trying to thwart adequate provision for the disabled and their dependents, Weimer charged. Robert B. Schuyler is commander of the Dr. W. C. Worthington chapter, under whose auspices the meeting was held. CITY PRINTERS WILL BALLOT ON OFFICERS Vote by Union Membership Is Set for May 27.

HEROIC DOGS WILL BE GIVEN MEDALS

National Honors to Be Paid Pets for Exploits of Bravery. Where is Indiana's most heroic dog? The Indianapolis Times and the National Anti-Vivisection Society want to know so they can present him—or her—with a medal. Those unsung heroes—dogs which unhesitatingly have risked their lives and often lost them that a human being might live—now are to take their rightful places in the Hall of Fame, a special Hall of Fame, however, restricted to canines. The national organization, with The Times co-operating, will award bronze medals, suitably engraved, twice annually to the Indiana dog performing the most heroic and intelligent acts during the preceding six months. Dogs Often Heroes “Seldom a week passes,” said Clarence E. Richard, Chicago, managing director of the National AntiVivisection Society, “that we do not read in the newspapers of where a dog has rescued a child, awakened sleeping occupants of a burning building, fought off bandits, or in some other way performed intelligent and heroic service, which, if done by a human being would bring the highest honors. “We believe that such loyalty, devotion to duty and sacrifice is worthy of whatever honor human beings can bestow, whether the dog can understand or not. Hence the Dog Legion of Honor.” A jury of outstanding dog lovers in the country will be asked to select the hero dog from nominations submitted to the society through The Times. A photograph of the dog must accompany each nomination, together with a verified account of the service for which it was nominated. Notables Will Judge Those who will be asked to serve are Will Judy, editor and publisher of “Dog World;” Senator Harry B. Hawes, of Missouri; Mrs. Irene Castle McLaughlin, noted humanitarian of Chicago; Albert Payson Terhune, author, and Edmund Vance Cooke, the poet whose “Rags” is immortal.

AIMEE WRITES ORATORIO FOR GOSPEL GROUP Biblical Allegory Will Be Presented at Temple in Los Angeles. By United Press NEW YORK, May 13—Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, compounder of the Four-Square gospel, is creating another inspirational work for her Angelus temple flock —a “biblical allegorical plan in seven scenes.” Despite the loss of thirty pounds during her trip around the world, which ended here Tuesday, the au-burn-haired evangelist is applying herself tirelessly to the new opus, which she believes will be one of the most sumptuous ever staged at the Los Angeles tabernacle. Mrs. McPherson was inspired on the last stretch of her long voyage —that from Marseilles to New York —and began writing why' the manager of Angelus temple, Fred C. Winters, described as an “oratorio.” Calls Work an “Oratorio” She is doing the work in collaboration with C. W. Walker Jr. of Kansas City, her musical director, who accompanied her on the voyage. Among the subjects dealt with in the McPherson-Walker production are Elijah’s adventures and the voyage of Noah and his ark. During the voyage, Mrs. McPherson acquired a son-in-law, who has joined the ranks of the unemployed. Just before the Dollar liner President Wilson sailed from San Francisco, William Bradley Smyth, the purser, was instructed to pay particular attention to the McPherson party. Son-in-Law Out of Job He followed instructions closely and when the ship reached Singapore Smyth married Roberta Semple, Mrs. McPherson’s daughter. At Marseilles he resigned as purser of the President Wilson and the party left the boat. They took the next Dollar liner, the President Garfield, to this country. Smyth, who is 24, and his bride plan to visit his mother at Tenafly, N. J., before he seeks another job.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, May 13.—. An international luncheon, six neighborhood parades, and an expected outpouring of 250,000 persons for a gay State street carnival marked today Chicago's celebration of "prosperity’s return and the end cf gang rule.” It was the third day of the “allChicago Jubilee,” which leaders in all walks of life hailed as the beginning of anew era in the world's fourth largest city. Among those here for “international day” were Prince Nobuhito Takamatsu and his bride of Japan; Georges Theunis, retiring president of the International Chamber of Commerce, and representatives of thirty-five other nations.

When the gang returned an hour later and repeated the attack, Quigley called police. Officers took him to jail.

STORM LOOMS OVER HOOVER'S ECONOMY DRIVE President’s Program Running Into Practical Troubles, It Appears. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, May 13.—President Herbert Hoover's announced program of economy and retrenchment in the government’s various executive departments may run into some practical difficulties, it appeared today. Bookkeepers are having a time of it these days trying to figure how Uncle Sam can keep out of the red as much as possible. Mr. Hoover has ordered economy in every direction, calling upon every department to cut expenses for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, by 10 per cent, if possible. This program, to be worked out in weekly conferences with department heads, is said to be part of his longcherished ambition to put the government “on a business basis,” but in the case of the army at least, doubt is expressed in some quarters whether any appreciable economies will result from the steps already announced. The army was first to feel Mr. Hoover’s pincers in a conference at the Rapidan last week-end. The interior department will be next and then the navy, with each federal bureau taking a turn on the carpet later. A hint of difficulties ahead was received by Mr. Hoover in his dealing with the army. After two days of conferring, announcement was made that twenty to thirty army posts and forts will be abandoned. No definite estimate of the saving to be gained can be made either by the war department or the White House, but it will be much less than the President hoped to get—not more than a few millions a year where billions are involved. Maintenance of the absolete relics of the Indian wars in frontier states is negligible, according to the army. Care must be exercised, ii is said, to prevent the change from causing

Senators are said, more or less humorously, to have held their jobs by keeping their army posts in their home states. It is Mr. Hoover’s plan to appease the congressmen, if possible. He wants to see if these sites can not be converted to state usage for educational institutions, prison camps, experimental farms or hospitals. Back of it all is the attempt to
