Xjfie AMERICAN •LEOOWi (Copy tor Thu Dvpurlnuut Supplied by th* American Leftlon New* Service.) GUIDES BIG HOSPITAL PLAN William Pierce, Minnesota Legion Commander, Keeps Vow Made While Caring for Wounded. A silent vow made four years ago by a soldier at a French debarkation

country’s defense. He was stationed at a French port, and it was his duty to meet and receive the Red Cross trains from the front, bearing the maimed bodies of American soldiers. The sufferings of those bleeding, crippled men left an indelible mark on his mind. He vowed that he would never forget them and that be would never cease to labor for their welfare. An American Legion memorial hospital, whose doors will be perpetually open to any ex-service man from any part of the nation, is now under way, with William J. Pierce guiding the project. The $500,000 needed to erect two 100-bed wards and to establish a Mayo clinic will be raised largely by the showing of patriotic motion pictures throughout Mlnnestoa, under the auspices of Legion posts. IS STRONG FOR LEGION MEN Mayor of Youngstown, 0., May Call on the Ex-Soldiers to Clean Up Town. George L. Oles, the eccentric mayor of Youngstown, 0., who was elected

last fall on probably the most unique platform ever presented by n successful candidate, is meeting witli more success In governing his city than some predicted. Beneath his odd ideas and his sensational manner of presenting them to the pub-

lie, Mayor Oles seems to possess the fundamental American Ideals that make for good government. He is making a rather thorough Job of the business of cleaning up Youngstown. "If I have to I’m going to call on the American Legion to turn out and back up the police force,” he said. “We’ll get this cleansing job done, and done right.” Oles places a great deal of confidence In the ex-soldiers. He employs them in the departments of the city government and says that their work is satisfactory. “The boys seem to have list that restless feeling and are, if anything, more anxious to perform their full duty thau men who never served,” he asserts. ' PICTURES OF THE WORLD WAR Fifty Photographers on Job, but Viaws of Hardest Fighting Do Not Tell the Story. During the Civil war photography was a new art. Only one man was on the Job— Brady. If Brady happened to be around when a battle was fought the battle would be photographed otherwise not. But photography during the recent war was no such hit-and-miss proposition. How the World war was caught on negatives is told in an article in a recent number of the American Legion Weekly. The very first ship that went over carrying General Pershing also carried a movie man. And from that time not a single important engagement went “unsnapped.” When our army was at the height of its operation it had 50 photographers. And for every photographer In the field we had three men tn the laboratory ready to push our negatives through. Although the photographs extant afford a remarkable history, one of the disappointments has been that even the best of the battle pictures do not show the real danger because most of the hard fighting was done at dawn before the light was good enough. During the whole wnr there was never a motion picture made of hand-to-hand fighting by the American troops. The Italian army posed some pictures, but this was never allowed by American generals. Feed the Needy Day and Night. On day and night shifts, Legionnaires hand out one thousand "coffees and doughnuts” to Jobless ex-soldiers, from St. Marks-ln-the-Bowery. New York city Cold, hungry, and forlorn, the men line up' to wait their turn for the hot drink and the good old “fried-cake.” Women of the Legion Auxiliary have charge of the relief work during the day.

"I’m always telling niy comrades what Tanlac did for mo." said Patrick Haley, well-known police officer, 1023 S. Ninth St., Terre Haute, Ind..

PINCHOT SAYS AWAKENING OF PEOPLE LOOMS (Continued from page one) determined that his victory shall unite rather than disrupt the repub lican party in Pennsylvania. "The victory,” said Pinchot, was duo mainly to three eases. First: To the women and other progressive voters Second: The wide discon tent witli the state government at Harrisburg and especially with con ditions in the state treasury disclosed by the auditor general. Third: To a campaign appeal made directly to the individual voters throughout the state. "One thing clearly demonstrated is the keen interest taken by the voters themselves in the questions at issue Pennsylvania has not been stirred since Roosevelt’s time as it was in this campaign. The degree of public attention aroused is a most excellent omen. "What’s happened in Pennsylvania does not mean that the Democrats are trying to make out it means, on the contrary, it means a solid republican delegation from the Keystone state standing behind President Harding in the coming congress." Then Pinchot started to talk about the part women played in his victory. “Great work.” he exclaimed. “Their coming into polities means a notable increase in the quality as well as the quantity of the votes cast and with that, better government,,” he declared enthusiastically.

COED’S VIEW OF MERE MAN Madison, Win., May 19.—The quality a woman most despises in the opposite sex is the same quality that she wants to predominate in her husband results of a questlonalre circulated among University of Wisconsin co-eds showed today. “Conceit” is the most despicable and common qualities of the university male, 186 of the 200 women who answered the questions declared. "Ambition” was the most-called for qualfication of the same ladies in their definition of the ideal man for matrimony. Professors admitted thattwo were not far apart. Eeighty-three of the girls said that university men, in their desire to show their superiority apparently, were “impolite"—ill mannered, thoughtless, rude, and disrespectful to their feminine colleagues. "Fickleness" of tile men was scored by 61 of the voters. "They’re too superficial—they seem to have no aim in life,” said one. The other four counts of the principal indictments for the"seven deadly dns” were: Drinking, 62 votes; Selfishness, 60: Laziness, 58; "Teahoundish,” 50. A certain mental simplicity is also remarked upon, carcastically. One ailed it “small-town personality,” another “simplemindedness,” six "stupidity,” and one remarks naively that ‘men are awfully young at times.” A Female Champion A female champion steps forward, declaring "on the whole I like them very much. Their wit, keenness, tolerance, and nonchalance win my admiration, while their bragggaocio, attempted worldincss of thought and action,and their queer ideas about their place and function in this universe puzzle me.” “The tea-hound is awful,” says one ‘The rest are fine if not dissipated.” Seventy-seven of the co-eds declared for the Cassius-like quality of ambiion as an integral part of their future nibbles, if any. “Humor” was a close second with 66 votes. “Intellect” was nodestly asked for by 61. Social poise tnd grace in handling a tea-cup was •ated a necessity by 39, and "unselfishness” and “sympathy” were dedred firstly by 29 co-eds each. The women believed that 73 per■ent of the men marry for “love,” .vhile giving credit to her sisters of inly 63 per cent marrying for the lame reason. Money as a reason for narriagd is more frequent among women than among men, the ladies ipined. Three-fourths of them wanted to narry a college man. COED SLANG The phrases used by the slangy cods to characterize the varieties of .he masculine members of the genus lomo, however, created the greatest stir on the campus’ by the lake hero. Popular classifications divided the sheep and the goats among the men imong thefollowing classes: boobs, lumb-bells, he-flappers, “intellectuals tnd pseudo-ones,” grinds, hicks, ideals irunks, politicians, fussers, non-fus->ers, loafers, woman-haters, roughlecks, duds —and soniemore. One feminist said there were "pokey >ne and fast ones —slow, fast and meduin.” Another divides them by the way hoy fix their hair, “Bandoline haired, 'ormal-haired, and sub-normal-hair-ed.” Others said there were “snobs, lowbrows, drunks, highbrows,” “those who are getting an education and those who are having an education brown at them." ‘those who only work hose who only play, and those who do 10th successfully.” One cheerful lassie sums up the less leadly sex like this! "But for a’ that they’re not a bad lot. They are usually pleasant to talk with, pleasint to walk witli and pleasant to work with.” The men are circulating a questionnaire among themselves, to get the masculine viewpoint on women. Man’s Trouble Arrested ‘ Tile past 4 years 1 have been going down, .down, down witli catarrh ot the stomach and had to give up work a year ugo because of my weakened condition. 1 suffered terribly from bloating and colic attacks.
