ST. LOUIS. May 9.-Feeling between
adherents of the National Guard and
the Regular Army today was brought
to the front at the second days ses-
sion of the national caucus OF the
American Legion, composed of men
and women who were in the military
or naval service of the government
during the war.
Maj. Hamilton Fish of New York
presented a resolution urging that
Congress place the National Guard
and the Regular Army on an equal
footing, and charges were made that
National Guard officers in France had
been Disseminated against in favor
Of regulars. In addition. efforts were
made by various delegates to restrict
the personnel of the legion to men not
In the Regular Army.
In regard TO membership, feeling
against the regulars was evident
among the delegates, but the general
sentiment seemed to be that no final
action should be taken in order not
| to affect the many men still in France,
but who are not members of the
Regular Army.
Prohibition and Employment Up.
Prohibition and employment were
among other questions brought up.
Several resolutions concerning prohibi-
tion were presented to the resolution
committee at it's session early today,
and as in the case of the National
Guard Regular Army question they
were embodied in one final presenta-
tion to the caucus.
The prohibition resolution finally
adopted by the committee urges that
the sale of beer and light wines be
American expeditionary forces can
voice their opinion in the matter.
The prohibition question was
brought up by Joseph Healy, son Of

certain forces more interested in
prohibition than in winning the war;
had taken advantage of the absence
Of the country's sons who were fight

luton placed before the convention
was slightly less drastic in its word

Formal announcement was made by
delegates from the far west that they
will endeavor to have the convention
take some definite action concerning
the ]. w. w. and bolshevism.
Efforts are being made TO cut down
the amount of business and postpone
as much as possible until the Novem-
ber convention. The ovation given
Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt yester-
day delayed business virtually half a
day. and indications are that there
will not be time to finish by tomorrow

City Brother Had Not a Great Deal

DIR. Samuel Schwab claims that the
oldest good story is the II about the
boy who left the farm and got a job
in the city. He wrote a letter to his
brother who had elected to stick by
the farm telling of the joys of city
life. in which he said
Thursday we auto'd out to the
country club and we golfed until dark.
Then we trOlleyed back to town and
danced until dawn. Then we motored
to the beach and Fridayed there" The
brother on the farm wrote back:
Yesterday we buggied to town and
~baseballed all afternoon. Then we
went to Ned's and pokered till morn
ing. Today we muled out to the corn
field and gee-hawed till shutdown.
Then we suppered and then we piped
for awhile. After that we staircased
up to our room and b~edsteaded until

HEIGHT THAT FEW ATTAIN
Not Many People Can Boast Their
Complete GuiItIessness of the
"Seven Deadly Sins"

The "seven deadly sins" are pride,
envy, lust, avarice, anger, sloth and
gluttony.
The fathers, the sages, the wise
men of the world, handing Town from
one generation to another through the
centuries what they had observed and
learned, at last agreed hat all
spiritual and mental miseries, as well
as most of our physical sufferings,
come from an indulgence in the
thoughts and actions included in the
aforementioned list of sins.
~Old-fashioned people used to keep
this list constantly before them, and
their spiritual and physical health
progressed or declined in the measure
that they were able or unable to con
troll their thoughts and appetites.
In these modern days we are still
surprised to learn that the list of
seven deadly sins was ever even made.
and we are more surprised to know
that it is a list which really covers
the whole moral scheme of existence.
The man who can finally subdue
himself into a state in which he does
not break any of the laws for which
the seven deadly sins stand as in
fringements, may well congratulate
himself. He is what we would call a
pretty good man, and we would like
to have him as a %neighbor. Not to be
proud, not to be envious, not to be
lustful, never to be avaricious or
angry. nor to be a lazy man nor a
glutton, means that you need fear no
man or devil, and that you certainly
shall not be afflicted with govt.
"Be good and you will be happy"
There's many a saying, but there Is
none better than that.
