day Shirley Mason By EDWARD B. CLARK United States cowl of claims is busy. It Las many cases it which liave grown out of the great war. Even ufter the court hits decided that damages are due a claimant he generally must wait on congress for his money and sometimes he never gets it. Occasionally claims cases do not go to the court, hut are taken direct to The records are full of stories of the stick-to-lt-iveness of men who knew that money was due them and who would not let go until congress recognized their right to It.

There is one oiilcer of the United States army -at least the belief is that he is still iu the Conrad, who succeeded finally in getting from Uncle grasp $32.85 which our unde took from the officer's pay some ten years before it was given back to him. Tbls case is typical of other red tape coses in which government pro- icdnre abounds and it is picked from fUe records because it seems to be iu- fcresting and because it shows sharply bow hard It is sometimes to lay hands on a thing which really belongs to you. As the story runs, Oonrr.d, then a captain in the Third United cavalry, had paid $32.85 extra ilnty money to certain enlisted men. 'flie government regulation, which harl linen in existence for years, author lzed, in fact ordered, the captain to pay the money. After he had paid It he found that the government had revoked the regulation, hut that no one had seen fit to notify the quartermasters of the change.

Cost Him a Lot, But He Get It. Consequently Captain Conrad, whom lie came to draw his pwn pay, found that the government had deducted from it the amount which he had turned over to the soldiers for their extra work, Conrad practically was told at the time that he ought to have known in some mysterious way that government had an order stored away In a vault somewhere to the effect tliut extra duty pay had been cut ouL The (ionruds ore an army family and the captain stuck to his fight of his money back from the government. It took him live to got permission from the secretary of war, the lieutenant general of the army and the quartermaster general to make an attempt to get bill passed by congress to reimburse him for the pqeket-pieking outrage perpetrated by Uncle Sum. Captain Conrad bad to do about worth of work before lie succeeded In reaching the action sion stage of the proceedings. To he sure there was only $32.85 involved, hut tjio principle was worth something a soldier who will not light for a will not fight well for any- th.ug else.

Congress finally gave Conrod $32.85. 8enora Was Paid for Her Boards. One of the most curious claim cuses ever knowu to congress was that of Mendlola, who lived at Angeles, Pumpanga, Philip- line Islands. The eenoru rented a house to Uncle 8am for the use of some of his teamsters. the mule- driving contingent moved out of the house after a short occupancy the declared under oath that some the aiding boards were missing from the kitchen wull, and she usked $200 in gold.

This case of Feliciana Men- dlolu tills fourteen pages of house representatives document. It contains a long letter from the secretary Wnr on the question of the value of the kitchen sidings, uuother letter from the quartermaster general of the United HI a tes and fifty-three communications from aruiy officers and civilians. A board of officers was convened to pass on the validity of the claim. The board was in session for days, uiuny of its members coming from a long dlstnnee to attend. One teurastep, William Langworlhy by name, swore that the kitchen sidings were chewed up and eaten by.

ants. Teamster Summerville swore that in his opinion the boards dropped out of place by their own weight. Teamster Plekle said: bourds was army hoard which sat on the cuse thought it was very doubtful in slrlet Justice if Feliciana should ha allowed any money, but finally the members granted the sum of $30 In gold. This action, of was not final, but the committees on wnr claims in house and senate approved the finding. The received $30, and doubtless it gave her some satisfaction to know that Uncle 8am hud spent about $1,000 to get authority to pay for a kitchen siding which went to destruction either by way of a foot or red stomach.

Produced for K-C Pictures by the famous French director, L. J.

Gasnier, The of; unfolds a story of poignant; eaft interest, combining romance! and adventure in sufficient portions to satisfy even the most exaciing et thusiast. The scenes of the flood were filmed in the Colorado region whcni that stream was swollen from storms and overran its banks, causing i spread destruction.

Natural Gas History Of all the blessings conferred on this part of the country, probably natural gas is the most desirable.

It high heating value, its wonderful convenience, its cleanliness and its economy make it worth saving. History of natural gas shows that in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and West Virginia, apparently inexhaustible supplies have been wasted so that these states now see the end of their service. Question for You Shall this community go the same way and deprive itself of this remarkable natural advantage? Reflection shows that these wastes touch tin pocketbooks. Somebody must pay for each oun mits waste, must help pay for it. If steai pay for it.

Eventually waste and theft must re prices for all. Save Its Advantages Natural gas was put here for your use. You are advantage that may be derived from this fuel, but you to take advantage ef your neighbors or of the gas compu that call for a larger supply to you than you need, or production of more gas than is burned. The Lone Star Gas Com a pany has no vance in rates, therefore it asks your vigor in preventing waste and in right use, so tha be sufficient for all at pres JlESk ent prices. e.
