HAYDEN SAYS RULING EN-
 CROACHES STATES RIGHTS

Representative Carl Hayden voiced the opinion that the ruling of the in terstate commerce commission re- quiring intrastate railroad rates to correspond to the higher levels of in- terstate rates, was an encroachment on states rights.
 Declaring "too much centralization" in the government was dangerous, Representative Hayden said Arizona should at once make test case to be tried in the supreme court of the Unit ed States.
 The ruling of the interstate con- merce commission, ordering railroads in New York to establish passenger and baggage rates on intrastate traf- fic to conform to advanced interstate schedules was followed with interest in Arizona. This was one of several states denied the intrastate increase of 25 per cent on freight tariffs; twenty per cent on passenger rates; fifty per cent Pullman fares, 20 per cent ex- cess baggage charge and 25 per cent on milk transportation when applica- ton for these increases was made tc the state corporation commission.
 Corporation Commissioner F. A. Jones, before whom the hearing in Ar izona was conducted, said that while the ruling of the interstate commerce commission was directed only to the state of New York the same principle might apply to increases.

ed by the governor as American Leg ion Memorial Tubercular Hospital Tag Day. The drive for the hospital, which was engineered by the Legion and the Benevolent War Risk Society of Texas, closed at eleven o'clock in the morning of November II, the hour of the armistice. The files at depart ment headquarters contain the names of 1,174 tubercular ex-service men in Texas, of whom majority are not re- ceiving treatment.
 The farthest outpost of the Ameri- can Legion came into being with the chartering of Warsaw Post No. 1 in the capitol city of Poland. It com prises forty members, all ex-service men, who are now on duty with the American Red Cross in the hungry and disease stricken districts of Po- land. The post was organized by Charles Phillips, of New Richmond, Wis, head of the publicity depart ment of the American Red Cross in Warsaw, and has the following of- ficers:
 Commander, H. H. Hall, Mcdonald, Pa.; adjutant, Lee D. Rowe, McAllen, Tex, and treasurer, Frank R. Me Kennay, Richmond, Me.
 Protest against any conscientious objector" or stacker being employed in the service of the government was registered by Kishwaukee Post of the American Legion at Marengo, H., in a recent resolution. The action of the post resulted from the attempt of a conscientious objector" to obtain ap- pointment as a mail carrier in their town. The post charged that the of fender refused to serve in the army during the war, and, on learning that he had taken an examination for mail carrier, acted promptly to prevent his obtaining the job.
 A full-fedged, high powered sylvan skunk interfered considerably with the order of events at recent meeting of Hamburg, N. Y., Post of the American Legion, when it attempted to pass the outer guard and enter the executive chambers. Legionnaires threw the minutes of the preceding meeting, the report of the social committee and other formidable volumes at it with no results. Then an irreverent broth CT cast the commanders gavel at the animal, which merely sighed. A would be rescuer fired a shotgun, but still the wood pussy barred the exit of the meeting room. At last, an imprisoned buddy telephoned to the state con- stabulary and a burly, corporal ap- peared with .45, which filled the anI gry skunk with holes. The Legion's legal adviser is now concerned with the problem of ownership of the an imal's hide.

DOUGLAS SOLDIER EATS ELEVEN LIGHT GLOBES
 AND STILL LIVES

Private John Gill, of the First Cav airy, will recover after having eaten eleven electric light globes, it was said by military hospital attaches at Camp Harry J. Jones.
 Gill boasted of his glass-eating ca- pabilities and consumed the bulbs to make good. Army officers were told that he came from a family of circus glass eaters and "sword swallowers" and that his father and sister died from the effects of the practice. Gill formerly lived in Chicago.
 His medical attendant said that since he had been confined to the hos pital two more light globes, milk bottle and drinking glass had been missed from the room.

Ne,us of Soldiers and Sailors

"Greedy human vultures" and crawling ghouls" were terms applied to war profteers by the Rev. Herbert Shipman, chaplain of Columbia Uni versity Post No. 400, of the American Legion, in his Armistice Day sermon at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, on Fifth avenue.
 Dr. Shipman, who is rector of the Fifth Avenue church and an overseas veteran, said that he was bitter against "those who out of the sacrifice and blood of others have coined dirty money" while posing as patriots.
 The pastor also read extracts from a poem he had written, the title of which is ''The Profiteer."

CHECKS ARE RELEASED
 ON HEAVY BAIL BONDS

Victor Check and his wife Belle Check, of Topeka, Kans., were ar raigned on charges of murder in con- nection with the death of Cheeks father, Thomas J. Check, aged 77, a healthseeker, on the night of Nov. 13.
 They pleaded not guilty.
 Their preliminary examination was set for next Monday. Check was re- leased under $25,000 bond and his wife under $5,000.
 Bruises were found on the elder Check after his death and neighbors testified at the coroner's inquest to having heard at various times, sounds indicating Check was beating his father. One witness testified to hav- ing heard blows and voices indicating Mrs. Check was beating the aged man who was reputed to be wealthy.

created by an editorial published in certain newspapers cricising the Rev. Francis A. Kelley, past national chap lain of the American Legion, for re- marks he is wrongly reported to have made at the recent Cleveland conven- tion, excerpts from the official con- vention records have been made pub- lie by Legion national officials.
 In the editorial referred to, Father Kelley is quoted as having said that a nation was to be judged worthy of existence by it's ability to fight, and that the aim of America should be not to be loved, but to be feared.
 His exact words were entirely diff ferent. They follow:
 "One thing have advocated. A na- tion, to be secure, must not or need not curry the love of other nations who do not care to give it to her, but this must besdone, if we cannot have their love, then we must have their respect through fear. And if we are to be feared, remember that we are not feared because we have mollycod- dles, because we have men who are able only to raise their conscientious objections at the time the country is in danger"
 There will be between thirteen and twenty-five members of the Ameri- can Legion in the new congress that comes in March 4, 1921. New York elected three ex-service men to the house of representatives, Texas and Tennessee, two each, and Massachu- sets, Michigan, Maryland, Mississip- pi, South Dakota and Washington, one each. Only three former soldiers and members of the Legion failed to be reelected. They represented districts in New York, Missouri and Kentucky.
 Jerusalem and Pekin will soon be the scene of flourishing posts of the American Legion, according to present indications. The Rev. c. P. Hunt, Saint Saviour's convent, Jerusalem, has applied for information on how to form a Legion post and national head quarters has sent similar data to Dr. Henry E. Melenay, of the Pekin Union Medical college. Dr. Melenay, who recently arrived in China, is mem- Der of Caduceus Post, No. SIS, of the department of New York.
 Army airplanes played a leading part in the campaign for the $35O, 900 American Legion hospital at kerrville, Tex, by dropping from the clouds in all parts of the state proclamation of the governor calling on all Texans to support the project.

HARD ZINES FOR "sUB-sCRUBs."
New Freshmen at High School Come
in for Light HaZing.

The "sub-scrubs' have entered high
school with the beginning of the sec
ond term of this year, which began
Monday. "Sub-scrubs" is high school
language for first term freshmen, ap-
piled to the newest students by all
others in the high school. Particular
JOY is taken by the upper classmen in
giving the Sub scrubs" the wrong di-
rections and wrong names of teachers
Many timid. big-eyed. uncertain little
"sub-scrubs," experiencing their first
few days beyond the pale of the
grades, climb to the top Of the old
building when they should be attend
ing class on the first floor of the new
high school building, because they ac-
cepted the advice of junior or SEN
Tor. The only cure for the misery of
"sub-scrub" is the realization that
he will be giving similar confusing d.
rections to Sub scrubs" next fall.
