EDITOR’S NOTE: This newspaper through special arrangement with the Washington Bureau oi Western Newspaper Union at 1616 Eve Street, N. W^ Wash ington, D. C., is cble to bring readers this weekly column on problems of the veteran and serviceman and his family. Questions may be addressed to the above Bureau and they will be answered in a subsequent column. No replies can be made direct by mail, but only in the column which will appear in thii newspaper regularly. Disability Rate Change Because of the much greater per centage of survival from gun shot wounds of the brain, chest and abdomen in this war than in World War I and because of new disabili ties incident to service in the trop ics, the Veterans administration has adopted a new rating schedule in determining the degree of disability suffered by veterans of this war. The schedule, which has been in preparation for two years, replaces and liberalizes many provisions of one prepared in 1933 and lists, for example, 176 separate disabilities of bones, joints and muscles with nu merous gradations within each, as compared to 126 listings in the pre vious schedule. Special attention has been given in the new service-connected dis ability ratings to scars resulting from explosions, oil burns and the residuals from frozen or immersion foot. A number of tropical diseases have been listed as cause for dis ability with special ratings adapted for each, although only malaria and Hiariasis have been encountered among discharged veterans. Changes in the medical concept of the relationship of specific dis eases to other conditions and to thei: service connection are also reflected in the new schedule. This has re sulted in the inclusion of many new disabilities, some of which are rated as high as 100 per cent on a temporary basis where they are not expected to produce more than a 10 per cent permanent disability. All changes are designed to facili tate more accurate and more equita ble ratings for the various types of disabilities. In using the new rating schedule, however, the basic policy of the Vet erans administration remains un changed and the veteran is allowed the benefit of the doubt as between the higher of two ratings, in deter mining whether or not a disability is service-connected. Questions and Answers Q. How does the death rate of wounded soldiers in the present war compare with that of the First World war? A. According to the war department announcement June 1, the death rate of our wounded soldiers in this war is 8 per cent. The death rate of wounded soldiers, who lived long enough to reach surgery in the First World war was 24 per cent. Q. Would transfer to a different outfit overseas account for the de motion of a corporal to a private? A. The war department says that a soldier could be demoted, without prejudice, to the grade of private if he was transferred into an organiza tion where there was no vacancy in his grade. Q. Is a former member of the Sea- bees, who participated in the action at Vella Lavella entitled to a star? A. One star has been authorized to be worn on the Asiatic - Pacific area service ribbon for participation in one or more of the following actions: Vella Gulf action, August 6 and 7, 1943; Vella Lavella occupation, Au gust 15 - October 16, 1943, and action off Vella Lavella October 6-7, 1943. Q. How soon after filing applica tion for a pension can the widow of a war veteran expect payment? A. There would be no way of tell ing the exact time which would elapse, but the pension would be retroactive from the date of appli cation. Q. Would you advise dropping government insurance policy? A. Most service officers believe it advisable not to drop government in surance, especially if you have a service disability and likely will not be able to pass a physical examina tion for private insurance. A ma jority of veterans are converting their government insurance into 20- payment or other form of private life insurance. At least, the veteran should permit his insurance to run its present term until he has a chance to analy.-e las ability to keep up an insurance schedule of pay ments. We suggest that you con sult your local draft board, veterans administration or your private in surance company. Q. Can a veteran of either this war or tue First World war enter a hospital in another state to take a I- vantage of a better climate, or must he remain in the hospital within the state in which he lives? A. According to the Veterans ad ministration, it is possible in some cases to be transferred to a hos pital outside his state. His transpor tation would not be paid for unless the physician in charge ordered such a transfer. You should refer the matter to the regional office of the Veterans administration which rated you and is handling your case.

Elmer (as the clerk seems impa tient) — One of them guys who’s al ways in a sweat, eh! (The Twitchells yawn and continue reading, ignoring the clerk quite complete ly for 10 or 15 minutes.) Clerk (pleadingly) — I wish you’d let me wait on you. Mrs. Twitchell — Don’t try to rush us! Elmer — You want us to let you wait on us ahead of other clerks in this store, eh? You’re somebody im portant, I suppose. Clerk (who has, with the coming of peace, reconverted to the pre war manner) — If you don’t see what you want ask for it! We aim to please! A satisfied customer is a solid foundation for business suc cess. . . . Mrs. Twitchell — Quick, Elmer, the aspirin! * Clerk. — The secret of this store’s popularity is customer-service. My time is your time! May I assist you promptly? Mrs. Twitchell — Tryin’ to intimi date me, eh? Elmer—Ignore the big bum, dear. • Clerk. — Aw, come on; lemme wait on you!

Wait for your turn like the rest of ’em. Mrs. Twitchell — When we’re ready to be waited on in a polite manner we’ll let you know. Clerk — Doncha know there’s a peace on?

Fried apple rings make a pretty and delicious garnish for this crown roast. Have you ever in a moment of social graciousness invited someone to drop in for din ner and then dis covered that the ration books can not offer much help? This hap pens to all of us these days, but there are ways and means to skirt around this situation. Did you know that a roast can be made from a few frankfurters and that it can taste as good and look as luscious as a prewar steak? Or, if the sugar bowl is bare, syrup can sweeten the cake and syrup can make an icing that stands in frothy peaks? Don’t let strict rationing keep you from being generous about inviting people over. Its more necessary now than ever when travel is curbed and we must seek “homey” enter tainment. And remember, too, there are no curbs on the niceties of serving. Good linens, shining silverware, sparkling glassware and attractive china will dress a table beautifully. A bowl of garden-fresh flowers or an arrangement of your own or chard’s fruits can add personality touches even to simoie dirmers.

Tie a string around Lynn Says If Recipe Doesn’t Fit the Fam ily: If you run across recipes that are too large for the family, let the following hints be your guide: One-fourth to one-third pound of- lean meat is a good proportion to use for one serving. When buy ing a roast, plan to serve it for several meals. One-half to two-thirds of a cup of vegetables are good guides to vegetable serving. Don’t try to divide eggs in small recipes. Too much egg is better than not enough and more than the recipe calls for will have little effect on the result, but will add more nourishment. When making half a muffin recipe, fill empty tins with water to protect the cups. Cake and cookie recipes should not be divided. Both keep well for several days to a week, and a larger quantity can be made safely. Crushed peanut brittle and syrnp provide all the sweetening neces sary for this lovely glamour cake. Sngarless frosting also made with- ont sngar stands in high, beautiful peaks and stays soft.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for September 16 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by international Council of Religious Education; used permission. JUDAH’S CONCERN FOR HIS FAMILY | LESSON TEXT—Genesis 44:18-34. GOLDEN TEXT—How shall I go up to my father, anti the lad be not with me?— Genesis 44:34. The family is the fundamental unit of Society, and is therefore of I more importance than the church, i the state, or the social order of which it is a vital part. Every force which encourages the breakdown of the sacred relationships of the home and family is set for the destruction of society itself. Men have too often chosen to go the way of the flesh, and therefore they have disregarded God’s plan and purpose. But the home is just as sacred as ever in His sight, and brotherly love still finds a high place among the virtues of real men. The family comes before us as we continue the study of Joseph’s life. As we study it we bear in mind Jo seph’s dealings with his brethren, who as yet did not recognize him as the one they had sold into captivity. He was bringing them kindly but definitely to the point of real repent ance, so that he could show himself gracious to them. To do so he had brought disaster upon them. Being happily on their way homeward with a new supply of food, they were overtaken and proved to be thieves, and Benjamin, i the beloved of their father Jacob, stood condemned to death by their , own words. In that crisis the mouths of the others seemed closed, but Judah, j who had really saved Joseph’s life (Gen. 37:26, 27), and who had appar ently finally come to himself as a man of essential goodness, pleaded for Benjamin’s life. | That plea presented a truly sac rificial brotherly love, as he mani fested I. Courage (v. 18). Easy rests the yoke of family life as long as all is joyful and pros perous. But when adversity strikes, when sorrow comes, or sickness, or sin, then the true test of devotion is at hand. It was a brave and manly thing [ for Judah to stand before the one whom he knew only as the man who was “even as Pharaoh.” The cir- ! cumstances were all against him. He expected the flaming anger of the offended ruler. His brethren had collapsed in despair. It w?'S one of those dark hours which come to every family when someone must demonstrate true love by being strong-hearted and fearless. II. Intelligence (vv. 19-29). We have become so accustomed to accomplishing things by the use of words that we are in danger of substituting speech for action. Even in times of sorrow or need we send a well-worded card or telegram, and regard our mission as accom plished. Words have their place, but there comes a time when they must be coupled with intelligent action. Crises call for more than a cheerful smile or an encouraging word, much as they may mean in such an hour. We must be prepared by our close contact with our loved ones to speak and act with vigor and as surance. III. Self-denial (w. 30-33). One step deeper goes the devotion of this man to his father and his brother. He had done no wrong that merited punishment, but evidently his brother Benjamin had been guilty. Had he been of the spirit of Cain he would have said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” and let him an swer for himself. Why should Judah suffer for another? Why should he allow himself to be imprisoned in a strange land to save his father from sorrow and his brother from what seemed to be the just reward for his deeds? Thus reasons the man of the world, but such is not the language of the true brother. He says, “Let thy servant abide instead of the | lad as a bondman.” Well and cour ageously spoken! IV. Love (v. 34). Love for father and brother under lies all of the courage, conviction | and self-sacrifice of a man like 1 Judah. In his younger years, and possibly under the influence of his | brothers, he had failed in that re spect, but now his real devotion to his brother was evident. That affection was a real, power ful and beautiful thing, and yet it is but a faint prefiguring of the affec tion of the One who “sticketh closer than a brother,” who “though he was rich, yet for your sakes he be came poor, that ye through his pov erty might be rich” (Prov. 18:24, II Cor. 8:9). Let us improve the opportunity to review our relations with our own family, to determine whether there is aught that we in intelligent and courageous self-sacrifice should do for our own. Concern for family will pay rich dividends, especially in these days of broken homes and disturbed personal relationsnips. Love will do more than anything else to hold us together.# K ppp in place.
