Xsfie AMERICAN ! (Copy for Thia Supplied by th* American b<Mcl<»n New Service ) WILL WRITE POST’S HISTORY Rupert Hughes, Author, Will Chronicle Happenings to Members of Robert Stowe CHI Body. The history of one American Legion post will be written by no less a light

than Rupert Hughes. With an j eye to his versatile pen, members of the Robert Stowe Gill post of the Legion in New York, have made the author their historian. T h e membership o f the post is made up entirely of members of the

ge I/t

Lamb’s club —writers and actors for the most part. “Long in time and short in importance" is the way Mr. Hughes describes his military career. As a matter of fact he was a fairly Important soldier. He started as a private in the Seventh regiment in 1897. Ten years later he was offered a lieutenant colonelcy, which he did not accept. He served on the Mexican border as a captain, and only deafness kept him from service abroad during the World war. During the raising of troops In New York he served as ’ adjutant general, where his deafness was an asset rather than a liability with the pacifists tooting their tin whistles, and then he became a captain in the Intelligence service, being just as Intelligent when deaf as when sharp of hearing. “I joined the Legion,’’ Mr. Hughes wrote, "because I believe in its principles and I believe it to be one of the most important organizations in the country.” Mr. Hughes has recently come into public notice for his stand against censorship. HIGH ON LEGION HONOR ROLL Minnesota Newspaper Man Wrote 3,236 Personal Letters to "Home” Workers During World War. One of the world’s most enthusiastic letter writers is M. W. Grimes, edl-

f | ! dr

tor of the Le Sueur (Minn.) News. For his remarkable service as "self-appoint-e d correspondI ent" during the war, he stands high on the honor roll of the Minnesota d epartment of the American Legion. Le Sueur and vicinity sent 230

men and seven women to the colors. Editor Grimes sat down and wrote them 3,236 personal letters while they were away from home, an average of one letter a month for each tighter or nurse. In addition he mailed a copy of the hometown paper to each of them every week. The letters were not the “Dear-Jim-I-remaln-yours-truly” variety; they contained the bits of ‘‘home gossip” and local color for which the doughboys were willing to give their last cigarette. When the veterans returned. Editor i Grimes assisted in the formation of a post of the American Legion and devoted an entire edition of the News to reproducing the pictures of every Le Sueur boy that had lost his life In the war. AN EYE ON NEXT CONGRESS Official Washington Is Speculating on How Many Ex-Service Men Will Be Returned. Official Washington is wondering how many ex-service men are to be returned to congress at the election next fall. Speculation is rife, with the bonus controversy at full tilt. Veterans of the World wnr already have formidable strength In the house, 31 seats being oc-mpled by former ' service men, according to a canvass by I the American Legion. The senate has ' two veterans—Senator Newberry of Michigan, and Senator Elkins of West I Virginia. Twenty-one states are repI resented by ex-service men in congress. New York leading with four, Massachusetts and Tennessee being I second with three each. I Fnr-sighted persons have hazarded i the opinion that when the votes are i counted In November, It will be found that the number of ex-soldiers In the i house has been materially increased. Only Ex-Service Men Wanted. When Edward Hines, millionaire merchant of Chicago, wants help in his lumber yards, he sends to the Amer- | lean Legion.

PANELED CLOTH SKIRT $ ■ CL •! VM « | KamCZSSSS. Spring presents its separate skirts 1 of wool or silk or cotton and those, for general wear are called "walking I skirts” to distinguish them from sport skirts. Here is a pretty new model I made of crepe. It is cut on straight ' lines and has a separate belt of the material. Around the bottom there nre set-in panels trimmed with rows of narrow silk braid in a contrasting color. ONE VERSION OF SPRING x ““"I im n w I *V Z - I 1 I Iw i i SS ''■ s * Spring, as interpreted in suits, finds charming expression In this beigecolored tricotine model, of utmost refinement. It has a plain, straight skirt with a narrow separate belt of the material. The short coat falls open down the front, having only one fastening place at the collar. Thera is a slit seam down the back and a novel decoration of silk embroidery in self color, which finishes an exquisite example of the tailor’s art. UNUSUAL AND AMERICAN jrfKs*- t’ik I I « 1 JoWOx i k. i ' 1 ? Kfr w J j Here is something unusual in coats, quite new and thoroughly American in I i style. It Is a snappy spring coat with a sportish flavor, made of a novelty i mixture and distinguished by leather patch pockets and a leather belt. The pockets have long slashed fringe, decorated with steel beads, and they bring to mind cowboy and Indian trappings. The collar is convertible—the sleeves a new type. SUITS EMPLOY CHECKS ' I Im • I j . II I /W4O i: -fc ' Along with other causes for rejoicing that spring is here, comes this example of its offering In suits. The design Is engagingly youthful and par-; ticularly neat looking, employing shep-1 herd’s check for the skirt and for em-1 bellishlng the straight coat of plain cloth. It is shown in black and white, but is also made In colors and In either case it appeal?, to good taste. | I

when he was seventeen years old. < In 1905 he was transferred from ap- ' prentlee seaman to hospital uppreii- | tlce, and the following year was one of those who udministered aid to the ’ j survivors of the famous turret explosion on board the U. S. S. Kearsarge, on Good Friday afternoon. He quit the navy in 1908, but heard the voice of the sea again In 1915. Within a year he was helping capture Vera Cruz with the landing party tliat went ashore from the Atlantic fleet. Before 1917 had ended he had established a hospital at St. Angers, and Naval Base Hospital No. 1 at Brest, j < me of the things he does not mention about his career is the outbreak of a i tire at Brest, during which he carried out several helpless patients and nearly ruined a couple of serviceable hands. During the Marne offensive he was on an operating team at Jullly. The Legion thought so much of his spirit and capabilities that they elected him one of their national heads.

the American Le- ; gion In St. Paul, Minn., the Legion asks: “Whydon’t you go to see ! John?” “John” Is John C. Lambros, a restaurant pr oprietor whose hobby is satisfying the gnawings of worthy ex-sol-diers who are looking around

for a job. At a recent celebration at the St. Paul armory he tackled a big contract and fed 600 men at cost—and it didn’t cost very mucli at that. Although Lambros was born in Se- ; derocastron, Greece, nobody minds because nobody can pronounce it. And | i everybody swears that he is more of an American than many citizens of na- , tive birth. He has been in this country for 13 years, during which time J he has developed this great passion for i seeing that people do not go hungry In St. Paul, and become a warm friend and helper to the American Legion. ‘■LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD” National Commander MacNider Offers Clever Fling at Editorial Comment on His Youthfulness. Being referred to as a “child” is all right if one knows the trick of turning the phrase. The New York Times, in an editorial, referred to the youthfulness of Hanford MacNider, commander of the American Legion. In the next speech MacNider made, he said: "You remember the story of the shaky young second lieutenant who was suddenly called upon to take command of a hard-boiled company. As be stepped to the front, some private in the rear rank muttered: ‘And a little child shall lead them.’ The officer commanded the man who made the remark to step two paces forward—and the whole company stepped i up. "He dismissed them and ten minutes later the following bulletin was posted on the company's board: ‘This company will assemble at 3 p. m. in heavy j marching order for a twenty-mlle hike. And a little child shall lead them— | on a d—n big horse.' ” — | y, Carrying On With the a American Legion A complete edition of a Berkeley, Cal., daily newspaper, will be prepared by the local post of the Amerlean Legion. • • • Alien soldiers and sailors are still taking out citizen’s papers at the rate of about 700 a month, the department , of labor reports. | • * * Overlooking Kilauea’s crater, exservice men are enjoying a private health resort established by citizens of Hilo, Hawaii.

I When Lincoln Was I I A Barefoot Boy- I S EVERY scrap of printed paper that came to his hands || was a treasure trove. He read it eagerly—conning W every line —getting every worth while word. g What a harvest he could have garnered from a modern newspaper! And not the least interesting to him would have been the advertisements, with their stories H and their pictures of products, appliances and services || gt that have smoothed the course of life to a degree un- g 9 known and unbelievable in the rough pioneer days. Nowadays new comforts and conveniences slip into our lives almost without our realizing it. We are liable to be rather matter-of-fact about it all. And advertisQ ing that has made it simpler to make and distribute g 9 profitably innumerable products at reasonable prices, || 9 has played a leading part in making our life so emin- g ently easy to live. H Read over the advertisements and try to think what g || the things you see there would have meant to our fore- || 9 fathers. Then you’ll realize what a service and what a I convenience advertising is to you. Read it! Make use of it. I
