Specifically, the Legion Intends to cere for all the children whose fathers were killed In action or who died as a result of service In the American forces during the World war. There are at present, according to experts, 5,000 waifs of war who are being denied childhood privileges because their fathers died In service. By the creation of regional billets the Legion Intends to care for all of these. The plan outlined by the national child welfare committee of the Legion allows for expansion to meet the requirements ten years hence, when the peak load will be reached 35,000 of them. The billet at Otter Lake, Mich., Is typical of the Legion's method of handling this Important phase of service work. It Is neither an Institution nor an orphanage. It approximates a home as- far as It Is humanly possible. Instead of having one big dormitory, the way most Institutions are run, the "Legion has small cottages of from four to six rooms. Nine children at the most are housed In one building, where they are looked after by a house mother. The children dress as othe children, with no semblance of uniformity. They attend public school. leaving in the morning, taking their lunch, and "returning about five o'clock In time to play until supper time. The Otter Lake billet, which Is the ' first regional billet, now cares for 26 children, with three houses built and jrround broken for two more. These children are of every extraction Hun garian, Polish, French, Italian and the Ilka. Many of them came to the billet 1n extremely poor health, emaciated and undernourished. Overlooking Otter lake, one of the prettiest of Michigan's thousand lakes, the billet Is Ideal for health purposes and, under the guidance of Mrs. Eva Ingersoll, supervising mother, the food prepared Is based on needs. Dr. O. Johnson, the superin tendent, looks after the health of the children and not one case of serlou Illness has been reported since the billet got under way. The need for more room to handle the fatherless children is manifested by the constant requests for perrals sion to send children to the billet A waiting list ample In size has m vlnced he Legionnaires that they need more space. As fast as the money Is available such expansion is taking place. The Michigan billet was first begun as an activity of the Michigan depart ment of the Legion, with help by the However, when the na legislature. tlonal organization of the Legion went Into the problem, Michigan graciously turned over her billet to the national body. The second child billet is now undei way at Independence, Kans. John R Qulnn, national commander of the Le gion, recently dedicated a tract of land, where the second series of cottages will be erected. Kansas raised $100,000 to Insure completion drive of the project by a state-wid- e for funds. The tract of land was the gift of Daniel Dahney, whose two son were killed In action while serving with the American forces In France. Not only does the Legion care foi children In regional billets, but it also cares for them In childless families. Following precedents established by social workers, the Legion seeks about men who have no fami for lies and who wish to rear one of the waifs of war, and allows them to adopt one. The Legion takes excep tional care In Investigating clrcum stances so that the child will get tht tender care rightfully, due. In other Instances the Legion has found that the mother does not wish to be separated from her child. In such an event the Legion furnishes cash support. The need for such welfare work Is nroved when It Is known that the government does not compensate widow sufficiently to Insure adequate support. A willow with no children receives but $23 a month. With one child, she gets $35, and $0 for each ad dltlonal child. As a result, it Is neces sary for her to work to support her self, and If her child Is very young she must place It in a nursery. If the child Is but a few years of age th Ledon has found that It runs wild and. In ninny esses, the environment la such that It becomea a gamin.

Major Coupal was summoned to the White House In the illness of Calvin Coolldge, Jr.,' the youngest son of the President, who passed away early In July, a victim of septic poisoning resulting from a blister on his foot. The new White House physician formerly was curator of the Army Medical museum at Washington. He Is an authority on bacteriology and pathology, and Is president of the International Association of Medical Museums. Major Coupal comes from Massachusetts, the home state of President He was born in Quincy. Coolldge. Mass., in 1884 and was graduated from Tufts college. He entered the Massachusetts National Guard In 1911 and remained In the regular army after the close of the World war.

Over in the mud of the trenches near Seicheprey, a young officer scans the lines of the enemy. He bears with honor on the battlefields of France a famous American fighting name. Later the young chap In the submarine will publish a book. And the colonel will write a preface for it. For the lad In the submarine is Henry Beston ; the colonel Is Theodore Roosevelt. The book, written by one faithful member of the American Legion and prefaced by the man who has been called the "Father of the American Legion," Is ranked by Dr. John Tlgert, United States commissioner of education, as one of the 20 best books for real American children. e "I knew that our youngsters were sick of lollypop 'storyklns for klddlklns' and tales," declared Beston who went down to the sea to do battle with the "I felt that they were anxious for wonder tales told In the spirit of the sailor's yarns. "I must have guessed right because Theodore Roosevelt encouraged me to keep on. "You bet I am a Legionnaire," Comrade Beston continued. "I was a charter member of my post. I've been an officer in it. I believe In the Legion. It Is the service man's best friend and Is a growing force for good in American life." She's Youngest Daughter of Revolution of the distinction of living child of any in the Revolutionary war. Her father, Solomon Loring of Hlngham, Mass., was but a lad of fourteen years when he enlisted, serving as aide to Colonel Vost. Here he remained for two years, experiencing much active service. After the war he settled In Lebanon, Conn., and was married three times. Mrs. Avery, his surviving daughter, was born on July 10, 1839. At that time the father was seventy-four- . He died In 1842. His father also fought In the Revolution, serving eight years, dying In a prison ship after being captured by the British.

The proportion of corn receipts Inspected at terminal markets from 1917 to 1921 which met the requirements for grade No. 1 ranged from 1 per cent to 27 per cent of the total crop. The remainder of the corn fell into one of the lower grades and was consequently sold at a reduced price. Loss to Producers. Considerable money loss to producers results from marketing corn which does not meet the requirements for grade No. 1, a large portion of which loss can be saved through better handling of the corn on the farm, the department says. The principal factors that affect the commercial grade of corn are quality, condition, color, test weight per bushel, moisture content, foreign material and cracked corn, total damd kernels, aged kernels, odor, temperature and live weevils or other insects injurious to stored . grain. Any shelled corn which has a nat ural odor, is free from live weevils or other injurious insects, and bus a test weight of at least 55 pounds per bushel, a moisture' content of not more than 14 per cent, does not contain over 2 per cent of foreign materials or finely cracked corn or more than 2 per cent of total damaged corn, and no kernels, will grade No. 1 under the government standards for shelled corn. Most of the corn which falls to meet the requirements for grade No. 1 usually receives one of the lower grades because of a single factor, although some lots are assigned the lower grade on account of two or more grading factors. Careful Study Made. The department has brought togeth er in a mimeographed pamphlet the recommendations of several Investiga tors who have made a careful study of the problem of how to handle corn on the farm so as to assure a high grade and consequently a high price for the corn when It is sold on the Copies of this terminal markets. obtained be upon re may pamphlet quest to the bureau of agricultural economics.

A study of the operation of farmers' elevators the midwest being made by the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Minnesota in an effort to bring out the methods found to have produced success and those which may have been responsible for failure. There are more than 5,000 such ele vators In the midwest states. Many avenues Of possible lesa are open to these elevators, due In part to limited capital, small volume of business, and the nature of the business Itself, the study has revealed. Othar causes of financial difficulty may be the failure to Insure properly the grain and other merchandise, building and equipment; failure to bond officials, bad accounts, failure to provide sinking funds to replace depreciating property, failure to collect full charges for services, failure to detect erroneous charges, losses In weighing grain, losses from overgrad-ln- g grain, losses from dockage, and losses from Ineffective hedging.
