Veterans' Bureau Mails Checks to 81 Countries

Each month the United States veterans bureau sends 15,359 checks amounting to $615,086 [~$8 billion inflation adjusted monthly, ~$96 billion annual] to 81 countries around the world to meet the compensation of insurance claims of veterans of the American army in the late war, Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, directory of veterans' bureau, announced yesterday.

Reviewing the list of countries to which the checks are sent Brig. Gen. Hines said they are dispatched to "every civilized spot under the sun."

The greatest number of checks are sent to Italy. That country receives 5,578 checks amounting to $223,615 monthly. Poland ranks second, receiving 1,708 checks amounting to $68,120 each month.

It is interesting to note that 68 checks are sent to Germany, where $3,440 is required each month to meet the insurance or compensation claims of American veterans.

The one on the left looks as if she wants to teach you a thing or two after work, and the one next to her already had consumption, poor dear. Second from the right was an anarcho-syndicalist deported just one year after this picture, and on the extreme right is a lady REALLY trying to impress the boss.

But I can't figure out what looks worse in this picture -- your outfits or your hairstyles.

Were in style in '24.

She has that Spinster look down pat.
