H pl®y takes the mystery out of
* the motor car. It gives you
£ the facts that count.
Perhaps you know little, or
nothing, of motor car pro
duction. When you read on
this Parts Display how the
Hupmobile is built, and then
read, directly contrasted with
it, what the more common
construction is, you will
select your next car with
greater care, and greater pro
fit to yourself.
You will also see, more
clearly than you have ever
seen, why the Hupmobile
stands up so well, and why
some other cars are a source
of continual trouble and
expense.
T he Hupmobile way of buy
ing a motor car is the sound,
business-like way. And it is v
a liberal education in what
makes motor car value.
So, whether you are going
to buy a car now, or next
year, we advise that you
come in soon and study the

WILL BE PI
The passage of the adjusted com
pensation bill over President Cool
idge’s vote in th>- Senate after the
House had acted favorably, put- be
fore the government the stupendous
taks^ of distribution and handling of
claims of 4,500,000 eligible veterans.
In order to expedite the task of dis
tribution, The American Legion has
turned to with its national organiza
tion to assist the government in ev
ery possible way.
Bundles of application blanks will (
be mailed to each of the 11,000 posts
of The American Legion, where they |
will be handled by post officials, j
These officials will assist each vet
eran (whether or not he ir. a Legion-;
na:re) to fill out the application cor
rectly, and see to it that no mistakes ;
are made that will retard expeditious I
handling of the case.
American Legion posts all over the'
country are busy working out the j
machinery to handle the details.
According to recent advices from
Washington, application blanks will j
be printed and ready for distribution:
within two weeks. Captain K. B.
Bush and Major John M. Smith, Jr.,
of the Adjutant General's Depart
ment of the Army, are in active
charge of the army's applications and
said that only one application blank
would be furnished for all branches
of the service and all classes of ap
plicants.
“The only class of applicants,"
said Captain Bush, "who will be re
quired to subscribe by oath to the
statements in the applications will
be dependents who are claiming tne
adjusted certificate as beneficiaries
of the deceased veteran.
“It is probable that many ex-serv
ice men will dislike the requirement
which demands that they submit to
finger printing, copies of which will
be forwarded to Washington. But as
a mutter of fact, this is for their
own protection, as it will prevent any
one person fraudulently claiming an
other’s certificate.
"It will not be necessary for ap
plicants to write to Washington fm
application blanks, as they will be
distributed as soon as printed—with
in a week or so.
‘I cannot insist too much on ap
plicants properly filling out applica
tion blanks. The slightest mistake
will result in the veteran having to
go through the entire performance ov
er again with the resultant delay.”
Eligibility For Adjusted Compen
sation
To be eligible for adjusted com
pensation under the bill recently en
acted into law, the man or woman
nuist have seen some military service

to this the ten days from May 26 to

gives a total home credit of 136 days.
He is thus entitled to $136, comput
ing at a rate of one dollar a day for
home service. From this will be sub
tracted the $60 fco.iU! received on dis
charge. fii.s leaves the total domes
tic payment at $/6.
Overseas credit: Including June 21,
1918, the day he sailed, until May 25,
191'J, the day he disembarked, the
total oveiseas service is 339 days.
Multiplying the 339 days by $1.25 as
the adjusted credit for each day, the
total i ; an overseas credit of $123.75.
Adding the total domestic and ov
erseas credit gives the total as $449.

pay certificate.
Supposing that the veteran is
wer.ty nine years of age. He then
multiplies the base credit of $199.75
by 2 527 (see attached table prepared
to help veterans figu:e their service
credit). This is the twenty-five per
cent increase provided in the bill. By
the multiplication the total of $1,262,
868 is arrived at. This is the face
value of the adjusted service certi
ficate.
W hat a Veteran Can Receive
F.ach veteran shall be entitled:
To receive “adjusted service pay”
if the amount of his adjusted service
credit is $50 or less;
To receive an “adjusted service cer
tificate” if the apiount of his service
credit is more than $50.
When Payments Will b~ Mad?
The administration of the law is
under the United States Veterans’
Bureau, which after March I, 1925,
vi.l make the $50 or less cash pay
ment , to veterans, and after January
1, 1225, will begin issuing the 20
yenr endowment life insurance policy
•ertificates. These certificates will
be dated at the time issued to veter
ans and no loans will be made on a

Cei vice Credit. If this credit is $50

cr d;t is more than $50, the payment
will be made in ten quarterly install
ments.
If the veteran has died after mak
ing application* but before January
