The fundameptal plan for getting members from now on will be based on a "three-ln-one- " combine, according to Mr. Samuel. The American Leplaygion, auxiliary and ground society of the Legion, working as a single Interlocking, Interworklng "three-ln-one- " and Intercontestlng membership machine, will seek out, ferret out and run down members wherever and whenever there are persons eligible for membership In the Legion. Details for handling the "three-in-one- " membership contests will vary In different communities, but the Idea will be the same always ; that Is, of creating a lively spirit of conquest among the Legion and auxiliary In signing up memand the bers for the Legion. The "three-in-one- " contests are formed with military units, baseball teams, dirigible races or any other units where the element of competition Is present. voice the naWith "three-in-one- " tional leaders of the Legion, auxiliary have Issued the call to and arms to their respective Legions. Jim Drain, national commander of the Legion, thundered, "The least you enn do and still rate a Legionnaire with character 'excellent' Is your renewal and one new member. It Is your duty. Do It now!"

"Last year at this time we had no 1924 membership cards; today we have more than 2..VX) cards paid up and received from 114 posts," was the bulletin from the department of Illinois reaching headquarters by November 15. Again, "At this date (November 10) a year ago we had Just 21 members for 1924 paid up; we now have the first thousand members for 1925 paid up," from Michigan.
