I EQION GUEST HAS BIQ IDEA Chirlei Bertrand ct France Plana Association of Veterans to Proserve World Peace. An association of men of all counties who fought with, th© Allies against

Germany as the most effective unit to preserve world peace is planned py M. Chartea Bertrand, member of the French chamber of deputies and president of the Inter-Allied Veterans’ Federation. Bertrand came to America with Marshal Foch as a special

guest of the American Legton, Moro than 8,600,000 Allied veterans now have assembled under the leadership of the Inter allied federation, and a meeting of the allied joldlers g>f ail countries will be held In Paris soon. Representing American ex-service men, the Legion will send a strong representation to the conference. Bertrand served as an Infantryman In the French army from the beginning of the war to its close. He was wounded several times and severely gassed, and his company was replaced with fresh drafts on thirty different oc- - caslons, ?o disseminated was it In the fierce engagements Into which it was thrown. The senator likewise is head of the French veteran society made up exclusively of men wounded tn action. In the formation of the Inter-allied veterans' association, Bertrand has made frequent trips to Italy, England, Routnanla and other allied countries. Ou his first trip to the United States he was the only civilian In the distinguished company of Marshal Foch, Admiral Beatty, General Diaz aqd Gen. Baron Jacques to receive the American Legion’s gold medal for distinguished service. SCHEMES TO COLLECT DUES Novel Methods Are Being Employed to Induce Legion Members to Pay 1922 Assessment Novel means employed by American Legion posts to get in membership dues early In 1922 are causing comment In every community where a post Is located, according to reports to Legion national headquarters in Indianapolis. Around the top of the list Is the story from South Dakota. A post is offering each service men who pays his dues before a set dnte a biscuit baked by the newest bride In the ■ post women's auxiliary. Three of the ; biscuits being distributed contain cash prizes in coin—s2o, $lO and $5 in gold. The biscuits may not be broken open until the night of the post banquet when they will serve as cards of admission. Early recipients of biscuits declared they could not judgo from their weight whether they eon- . talned gold pieces or bricks. Out in’ Kansas a post gave its finance officer carte blanche In collectbig 1922 dues early. A few mornings I later Legionnaires were being routed I out of bed at 4 a. m. by members of the committee who refused to let the slumberer go back to bed until he had paid up. The various state departments of the Legion are in a hot contest for the honor of being the first to send in the complete dues of the membership. WILL HELP CHEER UP BOYS Miss Rita Gould, Vaudeville Star, Offers Her Services to the American Legion. "The boys need a little cheer now just as much as they did when they

they were In France, homesick, cold and miserable. I’ll do my share,” said Miss Blta Gould of the vaudeville stage In offering her services to the American Legion. During the war Miss Gould spent the period of America’s par-

ticipation in visiting the various A. E. F. billeting areas, staging entertainments for the soldiers. I After she had passed most of last summer In government hospitals and recreation camps entertaining sick and wounded men, Miss Gould informed the legion that on her theatrical tour of the winter she would give her services free to legion posts In all the towns she visits. Many posts are availing themselves of the opportunity to have a stage star feature their amateur theatricals for the benefit of needy and disabled service men. Asking Too Much. "J don’t want to eat this egg, it’s not a nice egg,” protested the six-year-old daughter of the house at the breakfast table. ""Mary,’’ said her mother sternly, ••you are always complaining of your food. Eat what Is placed before you —every bite of It—without another word, or else I’ll have to give you a good spanking.” All was quiet for some minutes. Then from the other end of the table sounded a mournful voice. I “Mother, dear, do I have to eat the 1 beak too?,”—American. Legion .Weekly,
