The house soldiers' bonus bill, amended in several important particulars, but with the much-discussed bank loan provision retained, waa approved to day by the senate f inance committee by a vote of 9 to 4. Chairman McCumber proposed to report the measure to the senate within a few days and said he hoped to get action on It, before the passage of the tariff bill. . The more important alterations made in the house measure were: The changing of the effective date of the legislation from next October 1 to January 1, 1923. Removal of the time limitation on the filing of applications by world war veterans for adjusted service compensation. Abandonment of the reclamation plan and the substitution of a pro vision under which veterans would Te given preference in making entry on public or Indian lands when opened to entry.

Elimination of the forfeiture pro vision, under which veterans falling to repay loans made by banks of the government on adjusted .compensation certificates would have forfeited their certificates. , Under the amended bill such vet erans could reclaim their certificates at any time before their maturity. 20 years from the date of Issue, upon payment of the sum they were in de fault, plus Interest at 414 per cent, compounded annually. Approval of the latter housl meas ure, commonly called the McCumber plan, was voted by the committee after rejection, g to 5, of, a measure offered by Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking committee republican, pro posing paid-up life insurance in lieu of. all other forms of compensation.

Senator Simmons, ranking minor ity member of the committee, said tho democrats supported the Mc Cumber plan, not because they favored It, but to obtain quick action on bonus legislation. Neither President Harding's views with respect to the bonus nor meth ods of financing the legislation en tered into committee, ' senators said. Leading proponents of the McCumber plan expressed the belief that this plan would prove not unacceptable to the executive, since it called for no heavy expenditures during the r.ext three years that ,would require either new taxes or any large drafts on the treasury. Time at Vote Undecided. Chairman McCumber said that after the first three years the necessary funds probably could be supplied from interest on the refunded foreign debt. As now drafted the bill is sim ply a charge against the federal treasury. Present plans for calling up the homis bill In the senate are indefinite.

DONALDSON FIRST TO RISE Pilot Has Extreme Difficulty Get ting. Under Way Grandstand Is Narrowly Missed. MILWAUKEE, May 31. (By the Associated Press.) Twelve gigantic gas bags tonight were sailing through endless uncharted areas of upper air as participants in the 13th national balloon race, which started here this afternoon and ends for each navigator whenever or wherever it becomes necessary to return to earth. Thirteen pilots took ballons into the air, but the sky pilgrimage for one, Roy Donaldson of Springfield, 111., ended almost as soon as it began. Hia bag was unable to hold its gas and when Donaldtfon saw himself headed into Lake Michigan he came to earth at Bayview, in the south east section of the city, after a four mile journey. The landing was made within a few hundred feet of lake. Only 11 Contestants. Of .Jhe IS participants soaring through the air, only 11 are' con testants, for one of the naval bags, filled ' with helium, and carrying a recently invented radio device, is flying as a non-contestant. The greater lifting power of the non-inflammable helium made it unfair for this bag to: compete with the others, so it is making the journey purely for experimental purposes. The balloons were started- on their way by a' gusty wind which carried them rapidly south by southeast. Spe cial weather reports showed, however, that as soon as an altitude of 3004) to 5(100 feet was reached, the big bags would be shifted into a north easterly direction by a steady south west wind. All of the pilots planned to take advantage of this air cur rent, which would carry them into northeastern United - States or south eastern Canada, provided they safely negotiated the great lakes, looked on by the pilots as the great peril of the flight. - Virtually nothing was known here of five of the bags after they left, for they shot almost straight up into the clouds, which hung within S00 feet of the ground and disappeared. Twenty thousand persons, barred from the park for fear of accidents and gathered on housetops and streets outside, saw the bags suddently be come invisible. These balloons were the army bags piloted by Major Oscar Westover of Washington. Lieutenant James T. Neely of California, the helium filled naval bag commanded by Lieutenant-Commander J. I. Nor- fleet of Lake- Hurst. N. J., and th civilian entries of Ralph Upson of Detroit, Mich., and Bernard von Hoff man of St. Louis.

Even after it is in the bank you hide the bankbook. Furnituf e and other belongings you insure against fire. But good eyesight that great est and most valuable form of personal wealth usually is handled as carelessly as if it were so much sand. Ten thousand men and women are interrupted at their work by investigators from the Eye sight Conservation Council of America. Exam inations of the workers show that 53 out of every 100 have defective eyesight. That explains much inefficiency. , In most cases defective eyesight can be remedied. The wearing of proper spectacles, even for a short time, often corrects imperfect vision. Have your eyes examined. Guard them around emery wheels or other devices that may cause blindness.
