Disabled Veterans
Should File Their
Claims At Once
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14, 1924.—Just
because he did not sign his name
I William C. Rindle, a Georgia W’orld
I War veteran living in one of the
! north Georgia counties, leaves a
widow and two small children prac-
I tically destitute. The .widow will re-
> ceiive eventually the amount of the
I veteran's Adjusted Compensation
1 Credit, $625. It will be March 1,
. 1925, though before any amount is
| received and then only $62.50. Three
I long months will go by before another
payment is made. Every three
i months until the whole $625 is paid
i the widow will receiive a check for
$62.50. Under the provisions of the
I “World War Adjusted Compensa
j tion Act,” the so-called “Bonus
' Law,” this veteran—had he only filed
> application before he died—could
have left for his widow and children
$1,531 payable January 1, 1925, in
one lump sum.
Bill Rindle did not know this, says
J. G. C. Bloodworth, Jr., director of
the Service Bureau of Georgia, in
calling attention to the importance
of filing application at once for bene
fits under the Adjusted Compensa
tion law.
Merely because no immediate fi
nancial benefit is to be derived from
making application for the “bonus”
many Georgia veterans are not tak
ing advantage of their rights under
this law. The veteran throughout
the country is however. On Septem
ber 22, 1924, 1,305,000 veterans or
depeßdents of veterans had filed ap
plications.
The veteran who had more than
60 days service and 110 days service
or less will receive his compensation
in cash beginning March 1, 1925. The
veteran with more than 110 days ser
vice will receive his compensation in
the form of an “Adjusted Compensa
tion Certificate,” which is, in effect,
a’ 20 year endowment life insurance
policy paying to the veteran himself
the face value thereof if he lives 20
years after filing application, or if
he dies, a like amount to anybody he
may designate. The amount of this
insurance certificate is figures as fol
lows:
First figure home service at $1 a
day, exclusive of the first 60 days,
and figure overseas service at $1.25
a day; this gives the “credit.” Then
multiply the credit by a factor which
will give the amount of life insurance
this crediti would purchase for a man
of a given age. The table of factors
cannot be given here, but the average
veteran can use the factor 2.5 and
not be far off. The largest crediti
for home service only is $500; the
largest crediti for home and over
seas service mixed is $625. Rindle
having home and overseas service
both served long enough to be esti
tled to the greatest crediti, $625, and
beinig 42 years old his factor was
2.45. Six hundred and twenty-five
times 2.45 is 1,531.25. Had he made
his application anybody he selected
would have received on January 1,
1925, a check from the United States
Veterans’ Bureau for $1,531; had
he lived 20 years he would have re
ceived this tidy little sum himself.
Twenty years seems a long time, but
it is six years now since the armis
tice. Ask Dad is he could have used
a sum from $250 to SISOO, just
handed to him, say at age 50, the age
6ip average veteran will be 20 years
from now.
Although the veteran has until
January 1, 1928, to file his applica
tion the foregoiing shows the impor
tance of filing claim at once. With
out application filed before the vet
eran’s death his wife, and if no wife
then his children, and if no wife or
children then parents if actually de
pendent on veteran at time of his
death may file claim and only these
ana these dependents will receive in
no case more than the veteran’s cred
it; whereas if he files claim and dies
before the expiration of 20 years any
body he may select will receive in
one sum 2 1-2 times the amount of
his crediti.
American Legion Posts, Armv. Na
vy and Marine Recruiting stations,
Postoffices, the U. S. Veterans' bu
reau —all are supposed to have the
necessary blanks with instructions
how to fill them out. If none of these
agencies in your locality have blanks
I they will be furnished on application
to the Service Bureau, State of Geor
gia, 304 State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.

THEN AND NOW
Do you remember the days be
fore we had telephones or auto
i mobiles, the days before the movie
j came into existence, the days when
: electric lights were used only in large
, public buildings and in homes of the
I very rich? .
While all of these things came first
to city people, it is gratifying to note
that they are now nearly as common
I in the country as in town.
Electric lights and the movies were
late in coming to the country, but
their day has finally arrived. The
farm electric plant has been develop
ed to the point where it gives com
plete electric service,— light every
where and plenty of power for
pumping, milking, separating, wash
ing sweeping and 'other kinds of
farm work. And these same plants
have made possible movie theatres
in evefry country village.
Electricity is the force which has
placed the country even with the
city’s enjoyment of every modern
I convenience.
United States Controller- General
McCarl has ruled that a married
, woman employed by the government
, must use the surname of her hus
band when she signs the payroll.
“The law of this country that a wife
take the surname of the husband,
he says, “is as well settled as that
'the domicile of the wife merges in
the domicile of the husband She
mav have an assumed name, but she
has only one legal name.
