As is well known, it Is hard to keep a good man down, and November found the Republican floor leader back In Washington getting ready for the opening of the regular session scheduled to begin early In December. He was on crutches, but was getting along nicely. But his Jinx had not yet finished with him. The night of November 23 was hoisting himself up the front steps of his home when one of his crutches broke. In consequence Mr. Mondell got a severe fall severe enough to him up In bed for several days. PRODUCTION EGG Many Farmers Find It Profitable to Illuminate Houses for Several Hour Each Day to Encour. age the Pullets. Domestic fowls originated In the tropics where the days and nights are of about equal length. As a result of this, the reproductive and digestive systems of the hen are developed to fit the environment of a day and a night. For this reason she Is somewhat like an alarm clock, except that she must be wound up about every 12 hours instead of every 24. In the winter In the North, her digestive system strikes at about 3 or 4 o'clock In the morning.' As she Is unable to locate food In the dark she has no alternative but to wait until daylight or until the caretaker gets iround to feed her. Habits, Not Nature, Changed. zone Up In the where during the fall and winter the nights are from 13 to 15 hours long the transplanted domestic fowl from the tropics has changed her habits but not her nature. During this time she takes her vacation when she has the least to eat and to do.

Galbraith, Jr., natlor.nl commander. The Legion has launched a natlon-wlil- a fight for the correction of these conditions, which Mr. Galbraith has as "a blot and a dlMgrace on the name of our country." More than 20,000 veterans are still In hospitals suffering from wounds and Infirmities suffered In their country's service. Many of them have been there since they were brought back from France on the hospital ships. Their number Is Increasing at the rate of 2,- - " 500 a month, due mostly to the develop- ment of tuberculosis among men who were gassed. Statistics show that more than 500,000 men were discharged with disability rated higher than 10 per cent. Experts agree that the peak in hospitalization will not come for five or ten years. Yet, government hospitals at present are filled to overflowing and even contract arrangements are not being made rnp- - . Idly enough to care for the ever rising tide of disabled men whose coniitIon demand hospitalization. Certainly, there Is no lack of wll Hngness on the part of the American public to do all In human power to aid tnose wno paiu tne price ior me victory. The same experts who estimate that the peak of the problem will not come for five or ten years say In tha meantime $5,000,000,000 must be spMiJ in its solution., The government ha?; not been niggardly. More than already has been spent. M' management Is the gist of the Legion s charge. Lack of vision and foresight and the governmental red tape Is blamed as responsible for the death of disabled men before aid could reach them, for the Incarceration of disabled in jails and Insane asylums, and the charity wards of public Jios-pitawhere thty received the same ' treatment as paupers. In advoIn addition to Its activities cating reform in the conduct of the government bureaus, the American Legion has dedicated, itself to the tremendous task of "humanizing" the dreary lives of 20,000 disabled buddies who are patients In the hospitals all over the country. j Every Legion post In this country has been assigned to the definite. Job of taking care of a certain hospital where former service men are patients. The Women's auxiliary also will bs mobilized to share In the work and civic and philanthropic organizations In the hospital towns will be enlisted. There Is also the dangerous possibility that the hospital patients, remaining day after day with nb lnte'rest other than their physical condition, will become bitter against the country which once honored them and which apparently has cast them aside. In several hospitals, Bolshevist agents have distributed Inflammatory literature by Ingenious methods, of which an example Is the Inclosure of the printed matter In bouquets of flowers. In one case discovered by Legion Investigators the propaganda was entitled: "You fought for America and what did you get out of It?" And Indeed, It does seem that the sick veteran got little out of It except a short period of popularity, the consciousness of having done his duty and a maimed and diseased body. .'::.j "The 2.000,000 who are their buddies," said the Legion's national commander, "and, are banded together In ihe Atflcrlcan Legion, are determined that the hundred million -- hall not forget.
