Called Legitimate Movement


Washington, D. C.-Ihe Stars and
Stripes, formerly published in France
as the official paper of the American
expeditionary forces, now published
at Washington, D. C.. as a service
mems organ, reports in it's February
81 issue action taken by the st. Louis
post of the American Legion, giving
the Nonpartisan League clean bill
of health as a legitimate political
organization seeking reforms in
lawful and orderly way. Says the
Stars and Stripes:
at has been determined by the Le-
gion that as long as these organiza-
tons (including the League) confine
themselves to legitimate political
methods they are entitled to as great
respect and consideration as the 9TH
er political parties. M. l. Thompson,
an organizer for the National Peo-
ple's league, on his appearance at ST.
Louis this week was assured by the
American Legion members that the
American Legion would keep its
hands off"
The Stars and Stripes carries other
news about the Legion that has not
found its way into the daily papers.
1t seems that progressive insurgent
forces are at work in the Legion and
lately won a great victory, which
caused a big shakeup in Legion in
ternal affairs. First, the national Le-
gion has been forced by some of its
more progressive state branches to
abandon the ambiguous position in
regard to. soldiers bonus taken by
the national convention at Minneapo-
lis. The Legion, instead of passing
the buck" to congress and not making
fight for bonus, as was originally
decided, is now actively fighting foi
bonus bill.
Weekly Reorganixed
The American Legion Weekly, offi-
cial organ of the American Legion,
has been reorganized- Colonel George
White, Republican politician, one of
the inner circle of colonels and lieu.
tenant colonies who organized the Le-
gion and continued to control it as
result of the Minneapolis convention,
has been forced to resign as the edi-
tor of the Weekly, and the publica-
ton will be changed to newspaper
form and moved to Washington, d. C.
There has been objection among the
Legion rank and file to the propagan-
da carrie6 nv tho Weakly and other
complaints.
The Stars and Stripes declares the
shakeup will result in putting the Le-
gion in closer touch with the rank
and file of the returned soldiers, but
st is generally agreed that other and
sweeping steps are necessary If the
organization is to be fully democra-
tized Taken in connection with the
Legion's recent reputation of mob
activity, which came only after men,
bers and posts all over the country
had been guilty Of gross violations of
law and order in their fight on So
called radicals, the recent shakeup is
encouraging evidence that the Legion
will eventually be Of great benefit to
the ex-service men and, In control Of
the rank and file, will be an organiz-
alton that can not be used for selfish
purposes by designing inner circle.

THE JOB IN HAND.

The American people expect sub
stantial reduction in their Federal
taxes, and a revision of what is left.
Such a program is not only possible,
but is the logical one for Congress to
adopt. By reaching a speedy agree
ment with foreign governments IN
debted to the United States, by which
interest on their Indebtedness will be
paid. an income of half billion dol
lars will be assured. By putting a
new tariff law on the statute books,
drawn along established Republican
lines of protection, an additional
source of revenue will be produced
yielding about $6OO,000,0O0 each
year, paid as in the other instance by
the foreigner instead of the Ameri'
can taxpayer. 1t would then be pos
sible to wipe out the excess profits
tax, which has been the cause Of most
of the profiteering to which the coun.
try has been subjected, and make
substantial reductions in the income
tax without impairing the total rev
enue received by the Treasury.

RURAL.CARRIER EXAMINATION.

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exam
ination for the County of Shiawassee,
Mich. to be held at Durand and Ow-
osso on Jan. %, 1921, to fill the posi-
ton Of rural carrier at Shaftsburg
and vacancies that may later occur
on rural routes from other post
offices in the aforementioned county.
The salary of a rural carrier on a
standard route of "a miles is 81 800
per annum, with an additional $50
per mile per annum for each mile OF
major fraction thereof in excess of
"a miles. The examination will be
open only to citizens who are actu-
ally domiciled in the territory of
post office in the county and who
meet the other requirements set forth
in Form No. 1877. Both men and
women, if qualified, may enter this
examination, but appointing officers
have the legal right to specify the
sex desired in requesting certificatior
of eligibles. Women will not be con
sidered for rural carrier appointment
unless they are the widows of U. S
soldiers, sailors or marines, or the
wives of u. S. soldiers, sailors, ol
marines who are physically disquali
fed for examination by reason of in
juries received in the line of military
duty. Form No. 1877 and applica
ton blanks may be obtained from the
offices mentioned above or from the

costumes are very easy 10 make ana so
becoming to the girls and boys. Old
fashioned square" dances are the or
der OF the evening with games and
contests of various kinds between each
dance. OF course the party ends with
the Virginia reel. BY introducing
game between each dance, you give a
most pleasing variety to the evenings
entertainment. and no one will be left
out of the fun, even If they do not
dance.
The refreshments should be Ot sim
pie nature, including some fruit punch
with which to drink the health Of
friends for the coming year. If you
want to introduce the old-fashiOned
shot pint" make hot grape juice lem
onade with maraschinO or preserved
cherries In IL.
Never attempt anything that Is be-
yond your means or the customs of the
place you live in. Pretentiousncss never
brings comfort to the guests or reflects
credit upon the hostess. The true host
ess can show as much refinement In
serving simple cup of tea as In giving
an elaborate dinner. Remember to be
your natural. unaffected self, and If
your wealthy friend has entertained
you at banquet. don't hesitate to in
vite her TO your party even If it Is of
the simplest sort.
Try to give your guests good time,
but don't overdo it. Make the evening
genuinely enjoyable. But If you have
bright idea in the way of entertain
ment, work it out and present it-never
hesitate to be original, but keep within
the bounds of your especial capacity

PUBLIC DEMANDS
SCHICK TESTING

Lansing, Dec. 23.-When scien-
lists demonstrated the practicability |
Of the Schck test in determining per-
sons susceptible to diphtheria Eau
thorities" asserted that years would
pass before the public would accept
| its use and benefit from the dis
covery.
Michigan, however, is disproving
their statements. The public in gen
eral, according to DR.. R. M. Ohn,
Michigan commissioner of health, is
beginning to realize that the state
wide use of the test, followed by ae-
tive immunization with toxin-anti-
toxin, will do away annually with
about 800 deaths from diphtheria
and 1000 cases of the disease.
Schick testing of inmates of state
institutions where diphtheria has
ever been present is one phase of the
work the department of health has
inaugurated. At the Michigan Home
and Training school, Lapeer, 1880
patients have been tested and the 2O6
susceptibles thus discovered given the
immunizing toxin-antitoxin treat
ment.
!. Seven thousand dollars yearly,
which was formerly spent for pro-
phylactic treatment of the sick dur
. ing diphtheria outbreaks in the school
will be saved the state, it is said,
when active immunization is com
, pleted. An additional saving will
! also be effected, since teachers sala-
ries had to be met during the two
or three months every term when
these outbreaks of the disease closed
, school. The State Public school at
Coldwater, with its 2S7 state wards,
r has also been Schick tested.
From work already done in rural
a localities indications point to much
: higher susceptibility to diphtheria

HARD WATERS COST
PEOPLE MILLIONS

Lansing, Dec. 2O.-Add hard water
as another cause for the high cost OF
living and plumbing in Michigan, a
factor necessitating the needless ex-
penditure of $2,897, 7,077.50 for soap
annually and a like amount for ex-
ira plumbing.
For Investigations carried on by
the bureaus of laboratories and of
sanitary engineering of the Michigan
department of health, under the di-
rection of DIR. R. NJ. DIN, state
health commissioner, prove that
wherever municipalities furnish
water of average hardness every IN
dividual wastes each year from lO TO
12 pounds of soap or washing powder
in softening the water to a point
where lather is produced. To this
waste must be added, say the au.
thorities, the increased expense OF
maintaining plumbing which hard
water depreciates rapidly.
Latest figures show that 1881 1885
inhabitants of cities and towns are
using water of average hardness
that is, water containing slightly
more than 800 parts hardness to each
million parts of water. One pound OF
soap it is said, is expended in soft
ening 22 gallons of such water
Placing the low estimate of one gal.
ION per capita daily as the amount
of water a person uses in washing
bathing, laundrying, and all other
purposes where soap is employed
each individual uses more than 1t
pounds Of soap every II months.
Ten pounds of soap per capita
per annum would be saved, labora'
tory studies show, if municipalities
should reduce the hardness of theil
water supplies to one-third of the
present hardness by installing soft
cning plants. With soap at Id cents
pound this would result in yearl,
saving, for the states hard water
users, of $2,997, 7,077.50.
"This amount, taken with th'
money spent for repairs on plumbing
