IS NEW LEGION

First National Convention ~~ Set for September ay In Ft. Wayne,

FT. WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 18 (U. P). —Indiana, the home of ‘the’ Americah Legion and the AmericanFman Legion, now has a new group forming under its wing. Tis organization, known as Tin Hats of America, Inc. draws its membership from all National Guardsmen throughout the country, past and present. With that as a base, 4 can build up, potentially, to the largest American organization with military roots. In 1936, a group from Company

K, 152d Infantry of the Indiana | & National Guard, formed a socialll

group-and called it “The Tin Hats.” This club has grown, and James

[Jl]

Forth, the national president, has |-wu-

kept the ball rolling. To Foster Fellowship

In the preamble, the Tin Hats constitution states: “We . . . of the National Guard . .. in order to perpetuate the spirit of good fellowship . « . and fostered by the good fellowship of the flowing bowl . . . in order to foster Americanism, patriotism and loyalty to our country . . . establish this constitution of the Tin Hats of America, Inc.” - How this is to be done is left up to the various posts, unless the national convention adopts spme specific stand and adds it to the original constitution in amendment form. Commissioned officers are eligible for a special type of membership which does not permit them to vote or‘hold office. It is primarily an organization of enlisted men.

Time Period Ignored

In all other veterans’ organizations, membership is limited to campaigners of a definite war period, Mr. Forth pointed out. The Tin Hats is ‘not tied down in this way, he added. Eligibles for the Tin Hats will constantly be created so long as the United States shall have National Guard units. At present, there are about 500 members. is September, at its first national convention in Ft. Wayne, the “wheels will begin to turn efficiently,” he said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 18 (U. P.) —Sixteen white rats lapped up their usual alcoholic potation at General Hospital today for the sake of science and 16 man-sized headaches. ; They were bleary-eyed, unsteady afoot and, the scientist-sponsors said, confirmed drunkards. They had been on a three-month binge. On May 15, Max Webb, laboratorly technician, and Miss Frances E. Jacobson, psychologist, joined in a rodent experiment attempting to prove that liquor was habit-form-ing. They cited as proof of success today their 22 rats, 16 in cage-1, 6 in cage-2. Their experiments, they said, were conducted thus: At the start the 16 rats in Cage 1 were introduced to alcoholic toddy and were kept on it for 30 days, while the

occupants of Cage 2 drank water.

The $1,680,000 Marcy Village apartments on 59th St. east of the Monon Railroad today were 60 per cent complete. The village is ‘one of the largest housing projects ever built in the Middle West.

277 families.

Then came the “crucial” test. Into the cage of the 16 tipplers early one morning were placed two identical .receptacles, one of water, the other of toddy. The scientists ‘watched:

Presently rat No. 1 awoke, shud«dered, ran its paws over red-rimmed eyes and wobbled over to the water container. After sniffing once it backed away in what th scientists described as a rage of disgust. Cautiously it approached the second pan. It sniffed here, then dived in, lapping frantically. In a short while its 15 companions had formed a busy ring around the communal “eye-opener” while the water receptacle was left untouched. In Cage 2 the second, or toddy container was shunned. Neither Miss Jacobson nor Mr. Miller would say how or when the rats’ jag would be ended.

PERU, Ind, Aug. 18 (U. P.)— John N. Cathcart, 53, Peru salesman who earlier this week claimed. to have been abducted and taken to St. Louis, committed suicide. last night by diverting fumes from the exhaust pipe of his automobile to the inside of the car.

He submitted to a lie detector test and finally he admitted, according to police, that he had - been worried over various troubles and had planned to commit suicide. He said he lost his nerve and in-

BUCHALTER BELIEVED SEEN NEAR TORONTO

P.). —Louis (Lepke) Buchalfer, fugitive New York racketeer for whose capture, dead or alive, $30,000 in rewards are posted, was reported today to have been sighted Monday in the Lake Simcoe district.

For America’s next great industry—the manuracture of inexpensive = air-conditioning equipment for every structure from a tent to a skyscraper. : For chemical apparatus that will enable airplanes to fly over forest fires and put them out—poof—just like that. ; At least, so says the elected chief of the National Inventors League, Albert G. (for Gadget) Burns of Alameda, Cal, as he appraised Salt Lake City as the location for the group’s convention next spring. Mr. Burns said he represents the “nuts” ‘who retire into their darkened lairs and with feverish eyes and tousled hair defy the sneers and jeers of friends to emerge with the 1200 whatchamacallums that are patented every week in Washington.

Points to Obstacles

But, he hastened to add, the “screwball inventors” are “the creative thinkers who have made America great.” Every year hundreds of them as-. semble fo display their latest brain children. After them troop scores of ‘manufacturers from all nations, who eye the gadgets with wonder, realize the impossible has been done, and proceed to market the new laborsaving devices. Mr. Burns insists the world would be a better place to live in and scores of new gadgets would come faster if the inventors were really turned- loose. : Several things conspire to hold them back, he said. First of all, agitation over technological unemployment finds its culmination in proposals to declare a moratorium on all inventions.

Financial Aid Needed

The inventors’ chief has only the greatest scorn for such moves. “I remember,” Mr. Burns explained, “when they deplored me-
