Preservation of the memories of these
heroes and their deeds is an aim of the
Legion. But there will be practical
help to the returning soldiers in the
organization, according to plans out
lined by the temporary organization,
which, as it compOses the delegates
who went to ST. Louis, is the present
nucleus of the movement in Kentucky.
Bureaus will be established for the
purpose of obtaining employment for
returned soldiers, and for obtaining in
formation on war risk insurance, boz
muses., compensation for disability and
other subjects in which he or his fam
lily had vital interest New works
of this nature will be taken up as the
policies of the Legion are defined.
The American Legion had its incep-
ton in Paris last year when group
of reserve and National Guard officers
OF field rank, gathered in Paris on an
official mission, took advantage of the
opportunity to suggest a permanent
association of veterans. These pio-
neers quickly saw the necessity of

enlisted man and for those officers

the same manner, the Navy and Md

The Paris conference suggested that
a representative meeting be held in St.

sound the sentiment of those now on

place under suspicious concihenS, no

but is regarded of vast significance as

in the nations affairs. 1t is well set

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel MacKaye Advises Using Build
lngs as centers for Drama, Com
munity Sings and Enter
tainments.

Why not turn the corner saloon into
a community playhouse when the law
effects the closing of these gathering
places, asks Miss Hazel MacKaye, d.
rector of the Department Of Pageantry
and Drama of the National Young WO-
mems Christian Association?
81 went over on the West Side of
New York one night recently to attend
a community drama meeting" Miss
MacKaye says in explaining her theO-
ry, "and as 1 was riding along noticed
how many saloons there were-one on
every corner and another in the mid
die Of the block, it seemed, all just
blazing with lights. Those lights ought
not to go out with prohibition. They
ought to shine for something worth
while to all of the people, and what
better than community drama and
sings?"
Miss MacKaye feels that the war
has given a great impetus to popular
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama a great deal in
the way of AUGMENTATION can be eff
fected.
Through the community center, If 1t
be in a district populated largely OF
one foreign nationality, these people
could present pageants of the life in
their mother countries, translating
them into English, so that Americans
and also the younger English speaking
members Of their household could un-
derstand and appreciate their tradl-'
lions. American art would be greatly
enriched thus through the drama Of
all of the nations whose peoples have
settled In this country. On the other
hand American ideals, American his
tory and American festivals, even laws
such as child labor and minimum wage,
could be interpreted to these people
by means Of pageantry.
People have been learning not only
to work together, but to play togeth-
err" Miss MacKaye says, particularly
since the war, when the people stood
together in drives and large patriotic
community entertainments. The op-
portunity to build up a great commu-
nifty organization Is now at hand, and
the time is ripe for it. Why not utilize
the corner saloonT

NEW YORK, Oct. I6-Annversary of

Roosevelt was honorary head of the Play
ground and Recreation association from
the time of its organization and urges
| them to arouse interest in their localities

Throughout his life the memorandum
reads, Colonel Roosevelt stood for the
movement we all are seeking to establish
the movement for the greater happiness
Of the American people His sympathy for
the things we are striving to accomplish
is shown in a statement he made some
time ago He said This country will

WILL URGE MORE NAVY PAY.
House Committee viii Probably Recon-
mend That Advance Be Temporary.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Incrcases
in pay for men in all branches of the
navy will be recommended by the house
committee on naval affairs. With hun
dRds of officers resigning and with re-
cruiting halted, the committee is agreed
that something must be done to make
the service more attractive. While, the
committee will favor general increases
all along the line, it is doubtful wheth-
er the members will grant the so per
cent for officers and so per cent for en-
listed men which have been requested.
1t is probable that the increase will be
for one or two years, instead of being
permanent, the committee believing
that the cost of necessities viii de-
crease The last advance in naval
pay was made in 1908 and the cost of
everything has more than doubled
