was declared. He attended the Hist Officers' Training camp and went overseas with the 42nd Division. He par ticipated in six major offensives and was wounded during the Champagne defensive. Re-entering college upon his return, Mr. Doolittle was elected to the legislature while away from his home. Wise in counsel, an eloquent speaker and a tireless worker for the American Legion, Mr. Doolittle soon placed every lowa veteran in his debt and w as largelj’ responsible for the success of the Legion’s legislative program. UNION MEN LEGION MEMBERS Kansas Coalfield Center of Hostility, Develops Into First-Prize Membership Locality. From a center of hostility to the American Legion, to the town which won the first prize, second classification in the Kansas membership contest, is the record of Mulberry, in the coalfields of the Sunflower state. During the period of the Kansas coal strikes, union laborers misconstrued the attitude of the Legion in regard to industrial disputes. When post officers explained the Legion’s principles, the miners were quick to Wk " Legion Men Operating Steam Shovel. enroll in the ex-service men’s organization. Legion men are operating the big steam shovel in the photograph. Os a membership of sixty-six in Mulberry post, fifty are now union labor men. Forty-six are members of the United Mine Workers of America. The post also includes six merchants, three fanners, three clerks, two doctors and two school teachers. MEMORY TREES TO SOLDIERS Plan Proposed to Adorn American Highways Meets With General Approval Throughout Country. To plant a tree along the great new American highways In honor of every United States soldier, sailor and marine in the World war, is a proposal which has met with the hearty support of the Ame lean Legion, O. A. R., Gold Star Mothers and other patriotic organizations. A permanent marker would be placed on each tree, bearing the name of one veteran and his organization, with no indication of rank. A separate inscription would l>e placed on the trees representing those who died. Full success of the project means that the great Lincoln highway from New York to San Francisco and the Dixie highway from Chicago to Florida will be fringed with shade trees. President Harding has expressed his approval of the plan and the United States forestry bureau has promised its aid.

POPULAR SIGNAL CORPS GIRL Helen Hunt Carey Carries Off Honors at Chicago With Actress as Opponent Motion picture actresses are alluring to Chicago members of the Amer-
ican Legion, but when it corues to a showdown they vote fob their exservice comrades. This was demonstrated when Miss Helen Hunt Carey, a former signal corps girl, was voted the most popular girl tn Chicago at the Legionnaire club show.
Miss Carey’s total of votes was 46,254, which was 8,000 more than her nearest rival, a well-known movie actress, got. When Miss Carey returned from France, after serving 14 months in the A. E. F., she was elected commander of Sig-Yeo post of the American Legion, composed of former signal corps girls and yeomanettes. j i ."f 1 4 ■■ — ■■ V ——. .

JAZZ IM CAUSE Proprietor of Biggest Dane* ing Hall in the Country Gives His Opinion ON MODERN DANCES To Chicago Ministers Who Are Trying to Take the "Wiggle” Out of Dance (United Press Service) Chicago. June 13 (Special to Daily! Democrat) — Chicago's episcopal 1 clergy found out today how to take the wiggle out of the poetry of molion. The ministers, who met today to devise means of cleaning up dancing, called in J. Louis Guyon, proprietor of the "Paradise." one of the largest i dancing halls in the country. This is what he told them: "I agree with you that some of the! dancing of today is too raw. to put it I mildly. “I have seen some of our sons and 1 ' daughters dancing at church balls,' ’ college and society functions in such away that they should at least have* ! had a marriage license before step-1 ping on the ballroom floor. "We all know the effect on the |, morals of the boys and girls who wig- j gle cheek to cheek on the ballroom ' floor. And parents stand by and watch that sort of thing! 'Dancing is the poetry of motion. ; It is as natural to dance as it is for tlie sun to rise. Dancing itself is not 1 wrong but we object to its abuses. I' "Let’s cut out jazz music. People f don’t dance indecently to good music. I tried an experiment at an academy, p By playing a jazz number, in sixty see : onds the dancers were wiggling and 1 twisting in indecent positions—doing ( everything but dancing. It had the .. | same effect as five big drinks o( * 1 i whiskey. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦« ♦ ♦ i ♦ NEWS FROM COURT HOUSE ♦ ♦ ♦ ( ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦A* I John Brown, convicted a few weeks ago on a charge of violating the li- . quor laws of the state, was refused a new trial, in circuit court Saturday. ’ j and Judge Moran passed judgment ion the verdict, sentencing him to thirty days at the state penal farm p and fining him SIOO. Sheiiff Melchi] ■ left this morning for Putnamville with i, ! his prisoner. The fine will be paid. The case of John C. Etzold vs. the Commissioners of Huntington county, suit on account, in which Etzold I claimed that the commissioners owed him $3,000 for services rendered, was closed Saturday when Special Judge 1 11. H. Hartford gave his conclusions and special finding of facts. He foun 1 for the commissioners, and that Et- ( zold had been paid all that was coming to hint. The case was orig- 1 inally tried here and the jury disagreed. Etzold for several years was i reporter of the Huntington circuit . court, and was dismissed by Judge S. , !E. Cook, when it was discovered he , had imparted certain information gleaned by a grand jury to a man who was likely to be indicted. Attorney !('. K. Lucas and Etzold’s attorney, and Claude Cline appeared for the , commissioners. Matters were rather quiet at the court house this morning. The April term closed on Saturday, and of course there will be no business transacted in the regular way until Seftember. However, a hearing will probably be started on the Wabash river dredge case. Rescue Prisoner (Continued from page one) told he would have to remain in the lockup until this morning when the mayor would return to accept his bond. Hines »as arrested several weeks ago, but the charge was dis missed when he promised to discontinue Sunday shows. SPORTS Locals Win Easy Game. The Decatur bare ball club placed another victory to their credit yes- ■ terday afternoon when they met and defeated the Hartford City team at Bellmont park, the locals winning in a one-sided contest, the final score ■ resulting 16 to 2. The locals opened up in full force . the first inning, registering six runs, ; and came back with one more In the second and another in the third, shutting the visitors out until the sixth inning when they crossed the plate ■ for their first marker. The locals scored three more in the sixth and , I ( five in the eighth, allowing the visiors one more in the eighth, the final score standing 16 to 2. • The locals greatly outclassed the . visitors and proved entirely too strong for them, they having put the 1 game on ice in the first inning. A • total of twenty-one hits were collect- ' ed by the locals while the visitors succeeded in getting seven. J
