Nationwide Movement to Aid and
Cheer Thousands Of Wounded
Men Now In Hospitals.

A nationwide movement. to care for
the 1900 ex-service men who are now
in hospitals suffering from disabilities
incurred. In the service. has been
launched by the American Legion
through its Americanism commission.
Bulletins have been issued to state
chairman asking them to organize To-
cal Legion post committees to cooper
ate with the hospitals for the enter
tainment Of the men in the wards, and
for their care after discharge.
Efforts will be made to provide Wis
itors for those men who are confined
to hospitals to mitigate the loneliness
of their enforced inactivity, and in
this part Of the program the Women's
Auxiliary is expected to be Of particu-
lar value a..... =. -. s...,
To men who are discharged individ-
ual assistance will be given by men,
bers Of the local Legion post in secur-
ing work and in Strengthening out any
difficulties that may arise in the mat
ter Of compensation. insurance and so
on. A system Of interstate co-opera-
ton will provide. for every man who
leaves hospital In one state, well
come In the state for which he is
bound.
IF there Is any one thing that all
members of the Legion are agreed on
more than anything else, 1t Is that
wounded men should be generously
taken care Of" declared Arthur
Woods, chairman of the Americanism
commission. 1T is the personal con-
tact with the man that counts. We
must show him that we are genuine
friends. And certainly, no man ever
needs shove upward more than
discharged, disabled service man who
has to make up SO much lost time un-
der such tremendous handicaps. l
know you will agree that this is a
challenge to service on our part which
we, of the Legion, will not ignore"

Simple Telephony.

An interesting development in tele-
phony is a new three-wire wall net
which operates on two ordinary dry
cells, says the Scientific American. The
telephone itself is built for the use
and pleasure Of youngsters. The in
stallati6n is very simple, as the tele-
phones fasten to the walls with two
screws and there Is nothing more tech
meal for the boy to do than to follow
simple instructions in connecting the
wire with the posts on each telephone
box. The set will operate up to 1000
feet, instead of the usual 100 or 200
feet, II two additional dry cells are
employed.
