Kmm rMr?ment NVw Uepton Supplied Hrvic EX-SERVI- Creation of a body to promote the aid and interest of 52,000 women of the World war has been authorized as an organfzation activity of the American Legion Auxiliary. This action was taken at a meeting of the nutional executive committee of the organization, when Its members authorized the establishment of a presidents parley, fostered from the first department presidents of the organization, and including past presidents of the national body, departments and units. A fund for the relief of these women will become the principal objective of the parley, which has already settled on April 6 of each year as the day for such a drive, 'lhls campaign will be a separate undertaking for each past president in her own community. In case these funds womexceed the needs of en, the money will be devoted to rehabilitation nnd hospitalization work. Membership in the original parley, known as tlie Aloha Presidents, In honor of Hawaii, tlie first department chartered, was limited to 53 departmental presidents. In the new body, all past department presidents are eligible to the national presidents parley, this number being automatically increased by expiration of annual terms. In provision for departmental parleys, past department presidents and past presidents of local units will bold membership, an annual meeting at the department contention being required. Tlie Aloha Fund, for relief of women who served in the World war, is to be drawn from work by departf ments and units, going to the department and national parleys, the remainder to lie used by tlie local unit. Handling of the national funds by the Aloha presidents is provided by tlie constitution of that body. IWUUIMIIIMMttl Lowden on LEGION (Copy for This American PLAN FOR AID OF WOMEN for Farmers Co-operati- on iiittoiiioHmniuioMmMmiioiooiuumiMiMumiMomtiiiiimiioo by th ) o.k;s measures for DISABLED VETERANS Recommendations of the (senate committee ln estimating affairs of the veterans bureau reflect practically every recommendation of the fifth annual convention of the American Legion In regard to care of disabled veterans. This Is shown by the announcements of the committee, which indicate that on the major points sought by the Legion rehabilitation committee legislative recommendations will be offered to congress for action. Tirst of the recommendations to coincide with the Legions views Is further decentralization of bureau affairs seen in the plan suggested for establishment of rating boards In every district and subdistrict for the purpose of hearing claimants In person. This has long been a Legion contention. Another of the Legions recommendations suggested In the committee report is that disability of service origin, short of permanent disability, be no bar to relnstateim nt of war risk insurance. Legion suggestions further Included In the report are Increase of pay for disabled veterans with children, to widows of veterans wiUi children, and double compensation for women who lost a son and a husband or two sons In service; allowance for housekeepers for totally helpless veterans ; retroactive reduction in compensation be forbidden except In case of fraud; Increase In burial expenses for Indigent veterans; opening of hospitals to veterans of all American campaigns; of compensation payments to guardians of insane veterans who fall to render proper accounting of funds; and that disputed claims on war risk Insurance may be taken to the courts for judgment. Among the most Important of the ' suggestions made which are in line with the Legion policy or rehabilitation, Is that If tuberculosis or mental diseases developed within three year after discharge, these shall be presumed to be of service origin, which opens the way to compensation for thousands of veterans ; and the Legion further suggests that the hospitals be thrown open to all veterans suffering from mental dWcase or tuberculosis without demanding proof that such disease was of service origin. Directions of the Legions fight for care of the disabled veteran Is In charge of the nationnl rehabilitation committee, which maintains a large force In the national capital, with an active service bureau In toimh with the central bureau office and liaison officials and committees In every district nnd subdistrict. n Former Governor Frank O.

Slomlnskt, a schoolboy of sixteen, wrote on the Legion's announced subject, Why Anrica Should Prohibit Ills Immigration for Five Years. essay wns adjudged best In his state nnd ns a consequence wns given wide publicity. One of the points made by the boy wns thnt ability of Slavic nnd Mediterranean subraces to maintain free institutions and democratic government is questionable. Tills called foikh much criticism, particularly from representatives of those races. One letter from Ilev. V. F. Mlkolasek of Larkin, N. D., declared that the Czechoslovak race, of which bp Is a member, maintained free Institutions long before America wns discovered. This Is, of course, very true, according to history. Rut Chairman Steel cited the fact thnt these people have for several generations been under the dominations of despotic moiurchs and peoples. They have not been able to continue their institutions of learning, their forms of free government. Steel maintained that the hoys points were ft ell taken In this respect, ns admission of such piope wns not a reflec, hut on the tion on 'the r.u e lords nnd masters nf the citizenry. In an open letter to Reverend Miko-InseSteel said : Anyone who pauses to reflect a moment will agree that the Slav of tt d.iynrof any period, Is and was dilTennt In many respects from the New Fn glanders of Colonial times. Rut the Slav Is not therefore infeiior. Moreover It is not yet determined that America will be molded ah'iig the lines set forth by our Puritan ancestors. Thnt is one of the things tiie Legion hopes to have considered nnd if possible settled in the present discussion." The fact that such an essay brought forth discussion was the point aimed contest In which at in the nation-wid- e nearly 300,000 children oomjpted. letmintmwHtttiuiHmiiiitiiiii'oniiiiitoiWMm IIKIIIIUMlIIIIIIMHmOlUOUIMUHMI llllllimillWMtIIIIIIMIIIMIII C.

State-Wid- e Campaign to Arouse Citizens The most comprehensive experiment in education in citizenship ever undertaken in tlie nation is under way in California, under direction of tlie American Legion. Nearly 2,000 workers, enrolled by the Legion in a statewide speakers bureau, are enrrying a message of Americanism to every settlement In tlie state in an effort to offset the apathy of citizens toward civic affairs. Department Commander James F. Collins organized the movement and is directing instruction of the huge corps of workers from state headquarters, In a cause which will continue until full. Tlie Legion is aroused by the danger which confronts this country because of apathy of her citizens toward civic affairs and tlie increasing neglect of the privilege of voting, said Commander Cillir.s, a prime movement of tlie whole campaign wi'l be to secure a larger registration among eligible voters in the state nnd to impress upon tlie citizens their dutv to partieinate in governmental affairs. The state has been divided into fortv districts, vvitli a distrh t commander appointed in each district who is to supervise the work. At least once each month, every American Legion post is to be visited by a Legionnaire from another post, and in add.tion nil the civic clubs ns Rotary, Kivvanls, women's debs, church, lunel eon nnd fraternal clubs will hear a Legion speaker, seeking to arouse the citizenry of its obligatwV to community, state and nation. Took Meeting to Bedside Because two age, v ice men were in hospital at AnchorAlaska, members of the American plaster casts In a Legion took th?ir meeting to the bedside of the veterans, and there formally adopted them as members. One of the men, Chris Sladoje, was badly Injured by a fall of rock while working along the line of the Alaska railroad. ( Vi.'5'".''

Several policemen were in the vicinity, but none made a move, for the three bandits who fired at the car were imaginary, too. The shooting was arranged as a test for an armored motor car designed for use in transporting large sums of money from hanks to business houses. The bullets bad no effect, even the glass windows being bullet proof. Tlie car Is equipped with two tanks, containing tear gas and sneezing gas, If bandits should force the chauffeur to stop they would be gassed as they approached the car. y The great Increase in the value of platinum during the last two decadea has led many Investigators to seek substitutes therefor. It appears that the search has been partly successful. Ilatinum-clanickel steel wire in incandescent lamps; wires of nickel alloys are now making the cheaper grades of artificial teeth ; asbestos threads are now taking the place of platinum wires in gas mantles, and fused quartz ware has come into general use in chemical laboratories in the place of platinum utensils. Yet the introduction of these substitutes lias not affected the price of platinum. The demand for the metal seems steadily to have Increased in spite of them. d New York World.
