.. LEGION MAN BUSY AVIATOR I Earl Vance, Miles City (Mont.) ExSoldier, Did Not Quit When the War Ended. Before the war, Earl T. Vance was II a stenographer. He could scarcely

down dozens of offers to ride, he took ' his first flight with Vance while tour- i I lag the country in Montana. Vance I had returned from Ids airplane honey-! moon, which he devised as a means of avoiding old shoes and rloe, and which his bride thought was “too ( thrilling for words." When Vance got out of the service, j he found himself In Texas. Not be- ) Ing entirely decided on the best place ;! i to live, he stepped Into a plane and j I started “north.” When he arrived over 'j, Montana he looked down and thought | ■I; the country looked good. So he land- i :i ed, and he is in Mlles City, where he I J runs an airplane company. Doctors, | . and even horse doctors, patronize his ! taxi service to make their long calls : —Montana miles being among the longest In the world. Vance always makes it a point to fly to conventions of the American Legion.

“SERVICE” FOR LEGION ALSO Raymond Brackett, of Marblehead, Mass., “Delivered the Goods" During the World War. When Raymond O. Brackett was running a hotel in Marblehead. Mass.,

he believed In giving his guests “service.” When his patrons ordered up an oyster stew, they were sure to find plenty of oysters In it. When the war began to be mentioned in the papers, Mr. Brackett, whose grandfather, uncle, and

■***'»'

great-uncle all had been in the army In the Civil war, closed his desk, hung up his “be back later” sign, and joined the navy. The Germans having ordered up a war, Mr. Brackett, In his customary style, sftw to it that they got “service." If war was what they wanted, he was willing to fill their order. On October 1, then a fullfledged lieutenant, he steamed out in his U. S. S. Lake View and filled the North sea so full of mines that there was very little actual water left. It was on the Lake View that he witnessed the sinking of the German fleet at Scapa Flow. When Lieutenant Brackett returned he took down his sign, opened his desk, and found a notice of his election as one of the national vice-com-manders of the American Legion, in which capacity he is still giving "service." USED FLAG FOR DUST CLOTH Tampa Legion Man Causes Investigation When He Witnesses Desecration of Starry Banner. A man stood wiping off his automobile. It was rapidly taking on a glorious luster —the sort of sheen that Is spoken of in advertisements of furniture polish, but which is seldom seen. It was a lustre that brightened ttye very streets of Tampa, Fla., where the automobile stood. It threw back j the rays of the sun and mirrored the I figure of the toiling man. Attracted by the light, a member of tlie American Legion post at Tampa drew near the scene, and finally made out that the man was wiping the car with a large American flag. The stars and stripes were being rubbed ingloriously from the radiator cap to the tail light and back again. It was such an unusual case that the Legion man had a special committee appointed. After much deliberation, the committee reported that the offender was “simply ignorant.” Steps were taken immediately to show the naive autowiper why he was* using the wrong sort of dust cloth. ■; Carrying On With the American Legion « Baseball is in full swing with the American Legion In Buenos Aires now. • • • Twenty-two squares of Quincy, Mass., have be£n dedicated by the American Legion to as many war dead. • * • King Victor Emmanuel favors the plan of having 1,000 British and 1,000 American soldiers visit the Italian battle front next summer. • • » "Start them right” is the motto of the American Legion at Colome, N.

His father, the late ex-governor John A. Martin of Kansas, commanded the Eighth Kansas regiment aa colonel. In the eventful service seen by that outfit as part of the army of the Cumberland. Martin alto comes naturally by his journalistic ability, the colonel having been a militant freesoll editor in the days of the slavery controversy. Thus equipped by heredity, Martin is carrying on In his territory. He has been in the thick of battle from the start, having organized the Legion post at Battie Creek at the close of the war. In addition to being a fighter and an editor, Martin is an engineer. He served with the Three Hundred and Fourteenth engineers through the St Mlhtel and the Argonne regions, the Armistice finding him on the banks of the Meuse at Stenay, the crossing of which had been forced that night.

BONDY, GOOD LEGION ‘KICKER’ New York Grievance Officer Hal Settled Many Claims With Veterans* Bureau. The divine right tb kiek is a prerogative of the American citizen. The

U. S. soldier used to kick when he didn’t like something—a trait which dls 11 nguished him from the stolid, satisfied Prussian, and which made him a good fighter. Joseph Bondy, as grievance officer of the American Legion and war risk officer

for Onondaga county, N. Y-. hears thousands of kicks every year and passes them on with added zest to the proper authorities. He has settled "thousands and thousands” of claims with the veterans’ bureau and proved a great friend to every- doughboy with an ax to have ground. Besides being a high kicker, Bondy Is a skilful! recruiter. New York has the largest Legion membership of any state in the Union—due in a measure to Bondy’s intensive efforts. He has assisted in the formation of 57 posts, and has spoken upwards of 200 times in 142 different cities and towns in the state. ,
