LEGION MAN HOLDS RECORD Former Lumber Jack Who Put College Professors to Flight in Intelligence Test — Positions as instructor in philosophy, bacteriology and English have

been offered by several large unlvkjrsities of the west to Michael J. Nolan, Seattle IVash., before the war a lumberjack, during It a sapper in the Royal Engineers and after it a patient tn army hospitals for 49 weary weeks. Shortly after

ill

America opened hostilities with Germany, Nolan, 38 years old, tried to enlist. He was refused enlistment because of his age, but he went to | Canada and took on with the Dominion 1 forces. Following severe service In France, he was invalided to a hospital nt Folkestone. England, where he suffered from shellshock, influenza and jaundice all at the same time. He was held there for almost a year. When he reached Seattle in 1919 he was so weak that he could not lift his hand to shave himself. He entered the University of Washington for vocational education in December 1919. Nolan’s remarkable accomplishments In collegiate intelligence tests have been announced to the country. Competing with four professors, he answered without error 60 questions In 92 seconds while the brightest of the professors answered but 54 in 30 minutes. Due to his ability, Nolan is finishing a four year complete course in 18 months. The intellectual giant, below the average physically, is a native of Wexford, Ireland. He is a member of Rainier-Noble post, the American Legion, in Seattle. SEVERAL JOBS AS CHAPLAIN Toledo (O.) Divine Is Much In Demand With Veterans’ and Other Organizations. Chaplain for six different organizations. Rev. H. F. Mac Lane. Toledo, O,

Is a dangerous contender for the champion “sky pilot” belt. Every time another organization elects him chap- ! lain, he says he feels like Bob Fltzlmmons, the former world’s heavyweight, who, after receiving a telegram announc-

ing the birth of a son, cried: ‘‘Hooray, I’m another father 1” Chaplain Mac Lane was wounded while “sky piloting*’ the Thirty-seventh division in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. Returning to Toledo after the war he joined the Harry E. Kern post of the American Legion and they at once elected him chaplain. He also is chaplain of the Lucas County (Ohio) council of the Legion and of the following other organizations: Soldiers’ class of the Toledo Scottish Rite; Thirty-seventh Division Veterans’ association ; Second regiment, Ohio National Guard, and Toledo chapter, Disabled Veterans of the World War. SHE’S DRY LAND SAILOR ACE Michigan Girl Prize Winner in Canoe Carnival Served as Yeoman F, First Class. The standing joke that the war-time Yeomanette could not tell the difference

between a schooner and a scow loses its tang when one considers Miss Ethelyn Meter, a so-called dry-land sailor, who won a prize in the recent canoe carnival at Belie Isle, Detroit, Mich. Miss Meter of Benton Harbor

seneu us u yeoman F, first class in the bureau of navigation at Washington, where she knew all about salt water craft, at least from the pictures and records. It may have been there that she learned the fine points of driving the rocky skiffs through the water fast enough to shame the best of the gobs who competed against her in the water carnival. “I believe that a girl can paddle her i own canoe, too, literally and figuratively,” Miss Meter says. She was one of the organizers of the Benton Harbor post of the American Legion hand in the race the Legion colors flew ’ from her winning craft. To Honor General Ward. • Americans in China will make pilgrimages to the grave of Gen. Frederick Ward, the American, on Memorial day hereafter, the custom being in’stituted this year by the American Region poet of Shanghai. While the Civil war was being fought In America, General Ward, under commission of the Chinese government, organized •what afterwards was known to the 'Chinese as the “Ever Victorious Army" and suppressed the great Taiping rebellion. While directing his attack on the town of Tsz Ki, the American, formerly an officer on a Chinese gunboat, was killed at the head of bis troops. The Chinese erected a monument to him at Sungkiang, where he fell

THEY’RE CCCD “LEGION MEN” Washington State Newspaper Pair are Members of the Ex-Service Men’s Organizations. The time honored tradition of violent feeling supposed to exist be-

tween the average hard-boiled city editor and the average aoftboiled reporter suffers a relapse in the strange case of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reavis, members of Rainier-Noble post, the American Legion, and its Women’s aux-

I i J JOI

iliary, in Seattle, Wash. Before the war Reavis was a city ejlitor and Dora Deane, a Pacific coast woman newspaper writer, was one of his cub reporters. When Reavis went to war with the 41st Division cavalry, Miss Dora became city editor. Returning after the armistice, the ex-city editor sought to regain the editorial reins by marrying Miss Deane. Finding that as Mrs. Reavis she was the managing editor while he became a cub, Reavis forsook the game and became Associated Press correspondent in Seattle. “She was pretty good as a cub reporter,” Reavis says. “But as managing editor, she is a wonder.” Mrs. Reavis continues as Dora Deane of the Seattle Daily Times. INDIAN, LEGION POST BOSS Ellas Wesley and Sixteen Washington Buddies Also Control Town of White Swan. Where ills fathers once tried to resist the civilization of the white man, Ellas

Wesley, fullblood Yakima Indian, . commander of an ; American Legion post, and sixteen of his Yakima “buddies" now control the prosperous town of White Swan, Wash. More than half of the post’s members are fullblood

Indians. Wesley, the commander, is the village meat cutter. The remainder of the Indians, all members of the Commercial club, are engaged in business in the town. All are graduates of a government school and are better educated than the average American. Because he was a meat cutter, when Wesley enlisted in the United States navy they made him ship’s cook on the U. S. S. Western Chief, In the membership of the post there Is a Medal of Honor, a Medaille Militaire, a Croix de Guerre and a Victoria cross. “GRAND OLD MAN” OF 137TH Kansas Editor Recently Received Distinguished Service Cross for Valor In Action.

•Huuureu uuu Thirty-seventh Infantry regiment during its service in France, Editor O'Connor ably commanded a battalion during the heaviest fighting and won the highest rank of lieutenant colonel. In September, 1918, In Montrebeau Wood he received a note penciled on the back of an old envelope, telling him he was the highest officer left In the regiment Forthwith he assumed command of his own unit, added on all other troops in the wood, organized a brigade front, beat off two Boehe attacks and directed the advance on Exermont. Mr. O’Oonnor attended the first caucus of the American Legion in Paris in 1919 and was one of the newspaper men who drew the resolution giving the Legion Its name. FARM, CURE FOR SHELLSHOCK Thousands of Victims Have Recovered, According to Data Collected by American Legion. The symphony of droning mowers, cultivators and threshers is a specific cure for shellshock. Os the thousands of World war veterans who turned to agriculture at the termination of hostilities, virtually all have recovered from the effects of shellshock. This is I shown by a recent survey which is being studied by the national organization of the American Legion. The report likewise Indicates that shellshock victims who settled In the cities have not yet regained their health. The experiment of sending shellshock cases to the farms was tried with success in Canada, where more than 25,000 soldiers have taken farms under the soldiers’ re-establishment act. The government has loaned more than $110,000,000 to these men. and their first year’s crop was valued at approximately $14,000,000. Today the average soldier-farmer, the survey cou- , eludes, is enjoying ruddy health and sound finances.

SENT TO PRISON (Continued from page one) stances leading to the commission of the crime, and also stated that he did not desire the services of an attorney. I The boy came to this city in the , morning of November 17th and had remained hero until nearly 2 o’clock I in the afternoon, according to his; story, and had taken the horse and buggy which belong to Frank Brown, from its hitching place on Liberty Way with the intention of driving it to Richmond. At Winchester he at-1 tempted to sell the outfit, and which consequently got him in bad. The liveryman, to whom he offered to sell the horse, buggy and harness called i the chief of police, and Miller was held ponding an investigation. The next afternoon a card was received from Sheriff Melchi, asking the police to be on the lookout for a stolen horse and buggy. The outfit in the livery barn tallied with the Adams county sheriff s description. Sheriff Melchi was notified and Deupty Baker, together with the owner, went to Winchester, the officer returning last Sunday night and Mr. Brown the next day with the buggy. Miller was held in jail a week, with the hope that he would name his relatives or their whereabouts, that the court officials might communicate with them. He stated he had a sister living in Illinois, but that she had moved two months ago and he did not know her address. He told this story when first arrested, and stuck to it until today. He is a fine looking chap, and says this is his first trouble. The court and others in the room at the time he plead guilty, felt exceedingly sorry for him, but the offense having been committed, and the boy pleading guilty to the crime, and having no excuse to offer, there was nothing to do but to send him to prison. It was learned by questioning however, that his real name is Ernest Trietsorf, and that he gave the name, of Miller in an effort to keep-his predicament from friends and relatives. LEG IS BROKEN Elmond A. Aller, chief oiler at the sugar factory, has. a roken left leg as a result of a fall at the factory at the noon hour today.

Both bones of the left leg were broken about four and one-half inches above the ankle, and each of the bones were slivered, making the injury a very bad one. He was removed to the C. M. Smith home, where he and Mrs. Allen are making their home while he was employed at the sugar factory, and the company physicians reduced the fracture. He will be confined to his room several weeks. — ■ - ■ ■ # ■ Mrs. Laura Stewart and sons Lynn and Clarence of Wren. 0., have returned home after spending Thanksgiving with Dr. E.

WAS SENSATION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Fort Wayne Woman Recovers Health After All Hope Had Been Given Up. “It you could hear the people out in our neighborhood talk about Tanlac, you would realize what a sensation was caused by my recovery." suid Mrs. J. P. Bell, 614 Wagner St., Fort Wayne, "Ind. “I was in wretched health and had been for a number of years suffering from rheumatism, nervous headaches and stomach trouble. I am sixtynine years of age and finally came to the conclusion that I would never be able to be well and strong again, and I haven’t the faintest idea I ever would have recovered, either, if it hadn’t been for Tanlac. Three bottles of Tanlac entirely relieved me of headaches and of rheumatism, too. 1 have a wonderful appetite now and never have the slightest trace of indigestion. It is simply beyond the power of words to express the gratitude I feel for the remarkable change in iny condition.” Tanlao is sold in Decatur by Smith, Yager & Falk's and by leading druggists everywhere. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—A—s
