THE AMERICAN LEGION.

Marvin G. Sperry, chairman of the
national organization of sol
diers, sailors and marines under the
name of The American Legion, is max
ing public some of the aims and pur-
poses of that organization.
The declaration of principles of the
legion says:
1T was by the laws and action of
the United States government that up
on the private soldier, sailor and mar
inc were placed the burdens, hazards
and losses of the world war. Only by
the laws and action of the United
States government can these burdens
be removed and these hazards and loss
es to some extent be compensated.
1.-The first demand of the demobi-
lied men of the United States service
is the opportunity for employment for
ALL This the government could and
should have provided them last Novem-
Der, as soon as rehabilitation began
The failure and neglect of the govern
ment four months after the armistice
was signed to take any single step to
provide employment for the millions
of demobilzed soldiers and war work
ers was inexcusable and the legion in
tends that this neglect shall not be re-
peated at the special session of con
gress to be held this spring and sum-
mer
The gist of the legion S platform is:
The natural resources of the Unit
ed States, and especially its untitled
agricultural lands, should be made
available for the use of returned sol
diers and sailors.
Employment should be provided for
every returned fighting man who is not
already provided for.
1t also maintains the government
should pay every returned fighting mar
lump sum of $500 and President
/ Sperry says:-'sIf the new congress
does not meet these demands we viii
elect one that viii. +"
The political nature of the organiza
ton is evident and desire for politi
cal pap will surely develop. 1t is est
mated that about four million men ar,
eligible for membership in the legiol
and if large percentage of them JON

At the Library
Longer Saturday Hours.

Beginning May 3, the library will be
open Saturdays continuously from . to
9 p m. It is hoped that keeping open
from $50 to on Saturdays, when the
library has always been closed, will ac-
commodate some busy people who have
not been able to get in at hours
when they were free, and that readers
will be glad of the opportunity of con
tinuing the use of periodicals and
books in the building without the us
ual interruption at $50.
New Vocational and Technical Books.
One of the greatest problems in the
United States today is the placing of
discharged soldiers and sailors in suit
able positions. Besides the men who
are seeking jobs at once in order to
earn a livelihood, there are also those
who, with a larger outlook in life than
before, wish to find the kind of work
for which their particular. abilities fit
them. These will help in brushing up
the details and give full understand
ing of a particular subject, or in case
choice has not been made there are
books which give practical information
las to the opportunities in different
