McRae, a past mander of i'tt first American Legion post to be organized In the United States, lays claim that the Legion is an organization for service. From his activities In the Veterans association, he has obtained many benefits, but he believes the utmost in service was rendered when association with Legion affairs provided him with a wife! McRae, who was active in the doings of George Washington post in Washington, D. C., was thrown into frequent association with the commanders of the other posts in the city. He met Miss Lois May Beach, a past commander of the U. S. S. Jacob Jones post, composed entirely of yeoman-etteor, as they were known durthe war, Yeomen (F). Miss Beach ing had successfully guided the affairs of her post for a year and had left ud active duty station In the naval reserve force at the close of her terra of Legion leadership.

RADIO IS USED BY LEGION Widespread Membership of Veterans' Organization Reached by National and State Officials. The voice of the American Legion is being heard over the radio by members of the organization throughout the country. Almost daily some officer or Legion leader talks to the widespread membership of the veterans' association using the wireless telephone as the means of dissemination, This is made possible by the installa tlon of hundreds of receiving sets In the homes of local Legion posts throughout the country. In practically every post may be s, man who found some worked with the wireless telephone through the days of the war, or who has become an ardent fan since the broadcasting of regular programs came into vogue. Officers of the Legion recognize tlds fact and are taking advantage of the closer touch afforded them by means of the latest 'miracle." One of the first instances of this use by officers was the broadcasting of National Commander Alvin Owsleys keynote speech from' Lincoln, Neb. This was heard by Legionnaires all over the country, some as far away as the Atlantic coast. State department commanders in many instances are beginning to make use of this method to reach their members, many urging the installation of receiving sets for this purpose. In the future further use of the radio Is planned. The Decoration day address of Commander Owsley in San Francisco is to be sent out by a powerful station so that Legionnaires In the West may hear the commander at this time. At Kansas City, Mo., when a new Legion home was dedicated, Commander Owsleys talk was heard by Legionnaires of five states, who were asked to stand by at special meetings to hear the Legion leader. Followers of radio, who are active in the Legion, predict that within a short time all official utterances of national officers of the mens organization will be relayed by r fadio to the more than of a million members throughout the United States. And because of the power of many of the broadcasting stations, Legionnaires in other climes may soon be listening In on what their comrades at home in the states are doing. Legion members budded, nnd within few months Legionnaires in the capital were invited to attend a wedding ceremony which united the two. Mrs. .McRae enrolled in the United States Naval Reserve force on April 8, 191S, and served in the navy department until February 15 of this year. McRae served witli Nebraska troops in France and lias been very active in Legion affairs. lie is now historian of his post. three-quarte- HASTEN HANDLING OF CLAIMS of Legion Service Decentralization Work Will Be Carried Out on Joe Sparks Plan. Decentralization of service work undertaken by the American Legion will be carried out by the use of a plan put Into effect by Joe Sparks, national chairman of the committee of the Legion. Tills plan, Mr. Sparks believes, will expedite the handling of claims referred to the Legion, and will draw quick action on the part of the veterans bureau. Under the new system, all claims coming to the attention of the nationdivision will be forwarded al sen-icdirect to the Legion department service office in the state in which the e claim originates. Contact with the subdistrict offices of tlie United States veterans bureau will be maintained by these officers and the offices which have jurisdiction over the claims presented will be regularly visited. Any inattention or lack of by veterans bureau heads will be reported to the national service division. If for any reason a claim is not settled satisfactorily by the subdistrict office, the department head will, refer to the liaison representative of the American Legion at the district office of the veterans bureau. Files in the majority of the cases are in the office of the district In which the veteran lives. MUST PROTECT OUR CITIZENS National Adjutant of American Legion Declares Foreign Labor Should Not Be Given Preference. Substitution of foreign for American labor was declared contrary to the interests of America by Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the American Legion, in a recent letter to the commander of the Legion post at Medford, Ore., which recently protested against the discharge of Americans and the employment of Japanese laborers on a large fruit orchard near the town. We must be ever alert to protect the interests of American citizens against the encroachment of those from foreign lands who have in mind, In coming here, nothing but the enrichment of themselves at the expense of our people and of our resources, Our people must the letter stated. be made secure in the American standard of living and in the enjoyment of satisfactory working conditions. Tills is impossible unless the influx of all aliens from all lands is checked. Vigorous nnd united action is neces sary as a measure of prevention, ac cording to the Legion nationnl adju taut, first In the education of all our people so that they may present a united front against the efforts being made to promote further foreign immigration; second, in the enforcement of all laws, particularly those designed to regulate the number of immigrants reaching our shores annually, or to totally exclude them, nnd third, the enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to preserve America for those who are capable of appreciating and becoming worthy citizens of the Republic. WELCOME TO ALL FOREIGNERS Fogg Museum of Harvard Is Sending Trio of Scientists on Exploring Expedition. Cambridge, Mass. The Fogg Art Museum of Harvard is sending three men to China for exploration und research. The force will consist of Lang-coWarner, 03, who, until recently, was director of the Pennsylvania museum ; II. H. F. Jayne, 20, assistant curator of that institution, and Duncan McDougall, son of Dr. William McDougall, professor of psychology at n Harvard. The work will consist largely of a preliminary survey in central and western China and will probably last not more than eight months in the field. Mr. Warner, who is in charge of the expedition, hopes to make considerable progress in determining the kiln sites of the Sung dynasty aqjJ to visit some of the rock grottoes containing Buddhist sculptures of the Fifth and Sixth centuries A. D. A comprehensive series of rubbings from inscribed and decorated stone monuments and a considerable number of photographs, which have not been hitherto obtainable, are expected to be secured for the Fogg museum. It is hoped also that two or three Important examples of early architecture still existing in northern China and Manchuria, which are fast falling to ruin, measured and will be thoroughly photographed. To Collect Photographs. As funds are not available for the purchase of original objects of art to enrich the collections at Harvard, the first years expedition will confine its work largely to procuring photographs, measurements and other rubbings, materials for the study of early and medieval Chinese Culture. If the results of the preliminary trip warrant it, excavations will be undertaken next year, If the consent of the Chinese government is obtained. The importance of such work Is apparent, the Fogg museum autnorlties declare, when it is realized that, although Europe and America are familiar with the contents of early Chinese tombs, for which fabulous sums are paid by' collectors and museums, no tomb wjth its. contents undisturbed has been recorded and photographed by a responsible scientist. The tall pottery camels, prancing horses, jars and bronzes and Jade found disposed about the bodies of the dead have been brought overseas by thousands, but the priceless Information by which they might have been exactly dated Is not available. It Is argued that to know the arrangement of these little processions of figures in the grave, to find what wares are associated with others, to measure these tombs and to find and copy In situ the tablets burled with the dead would be worth more than the actual possession of all this material.' Until the Harvard party reaches China nothing can lie definitely foretold of tlie extent of its travels. Political disturbances may Interfere seriously with much that should lie accomplished, and tlie government at Peking is aide to furnish tlie Fogg museum with no definite assurance that its representatives will be able to carry on their proposed investigations. It is believed to be certain, however, that enough opportunities will lie found to repay tlie first year's work and to pave tlie way for a return trip. The Harvard party will devote its Stole 75-CeRide; time entirely to tlie study of Buddhist Got Religion; Pays art, and Its labors will not conflict with those of other expeditions that may be Chicago.

Thats the number of cookies prepared by members of the American Legion Auxiliary of Kansas for nbled veterans in hospitals at Kansas City and Leavenworth. There are 130 units of the Auxiliary in Kansas. Each unit prepares and mails 12 dozen cookies to the hospitals every month. The cookies are sent to the chief dietitian of each hospital and she places them in big jars in the corrl-- . dors. When the cookie jar is set out, the disabled men come from every ward, on crutches, in wheel chairs, and with canes rapping the floor, eager to get a hand in the Jar. Nurses say the boys reach around the jar until they find the cookies with nuts on them and fruit chopped np on the inside. The flat sugar cookies do not seem to be popular. Ilnrold B.

American women who find dressmaking, office work, school teaching and similar pursuits prosaic or unsatisfying may take a leaf from tlie hook of their English sisters, who are rapidly taking to engineering, medicine, law and similar professional occupations which heretofore have been confined to men. Many English universities and schools have thrown courses to open their engineering women on exactly the same terms as to men, and the number of applicants far exceeds the capacity of the classrooms.
