URGE LEGION TO
MAKE HOME HERE
Make Washington the National

Make Washington the National
Headquarters"
This is the slogan Of a campaign
launched by the District department
of the American Legion in an effort
to have Washington chosen as the
national headquarters OF the organiza-
ton at the Minneapolis convention to
be held in November.
The campaign has been taken up
by The Veteran" official organ of
the District department of the legion
In an editorial this week the Veteran
points to the fact that all news OF a
national scope emanates from Wash
ington and that IL Is here that all
the large newspapers and periodicals
OF the nation look for news of a ma
tional nature.
Likewise the Veteran points to the
fact that the National Chamber of
Commerce, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the American
Federation OF Labor. and virtually all
of the dominant national organiza-
tons maintain their headquarters
here.

Editorial

One of the most In
fluential men of the
United States was
talking to a group of
friends, and during the
evening said: "My
success and prosperity
started the day I con-
! ceived of a definite aim
in life"
Most, of us would
never dream of even
starting out for a walk
or an auto ride without
having some destination
in mind. no difference
how unimportant II
might be,
Many OF US, however,
do conduct our life with
no goal in view. We
just drift along hoping
that something will
turn up" to make US
rich or happy or healthy
or influential.
That is the reason
most of US are never
known outside our own
little circle.
A life. like an automo-
bile may be possessed
with infinite power, but
unless ii is directed
somewhere, IL never ar
rives any place. What
do you want? Get Q very
specific desire and you'll
get IT
