Captain J. E. Torrcncc, of the
staff of the department of Military
Science and Tactics, has been appointed by General Omar Bundy, Major General of the Fifth Corps Area,
to assist World War veterans in this
section of the state in making application for the adjusted compensation
which was granted them in the last
session of the Senate and to which
every former soldier is entitled.
It is imperative from the standpoint of the veteran that he avail himself of the benefits of this act immediately because if a veteran who
served overseas dies, his adjusted service pay will amount to $625 and his
widow, children or other dependents
will receive the amount in ten quarterly payments while, if he filed application before his death, there would
be a cash payment of $1,580.
From the standpoint of economy in
the administration of the act, and
subsequent taxing to the taxpayers,
it is important that veterans take advantage of this opportunity.
A third reason for prompt application is that the face value of the insurance certificate furnished him depends upon the age of the veteran at
the time he files his application, the
amount decreasing as the age increases. Delay may mean that the
veteran be placed in another insurance
year, thus reducing the amount to be
received.
Under the act, cash payments become due on March 1, 1925 and, unless the veteran applies in advance
of that date, the payment to him

Citadel Comments On
Fine Spirit at Va.

"As Others See Us
"The following editorial appeared in
the Charleston (S. C.) News and
Courier, Tuesday, November 11, under the caption of 'At Washington
and Lee':
" 'One thing that impressed members of the Citadel football team
which played at Lexington, Va., Saturday was the honor system that is
in effect at Washington and Lee University.
" 'Upon arriving they went to the
gymnasium and noticed boxes of apples and a card stating the price of
the fruit. In front was an ordinary
pasteboard box containing a number
of coins. A person would take what
he wanted and leave his money.
" 'Next morning the cadets while
walking about the campus noticed the
store conducted by the
University and to their surprise found
that there was no storekeeper.
'"A student goes in, selects what
he wants, rings up the amount on
the cash . register, makes his own
