AMERICAN LEGION
START MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN MAY II
General Public Is Expected
to Give Moral Support
to Campaign

The American Legion will hold a
campaign for new members the first
week Of May 1922 that will be "dif-
ferent."
In the first place it is not "drive"
but push. Back in the dim days
of the early war publicity experts
borrowed the word drive" from the
slang of the day. Everyone who went
out after something fell into the easy
habit of calling his campaign a
"drive." Then, when it came time
for the men who really knew what
war "drive' was to 60 out after
new members for their Legion, they
found that the word "drfve" was as
punchless as a blank cartridge. They
had to dig themselves up a new word.
So they called their campaign a
push, which is great deal Ike
a "drive' except that it goes far
ther in implying relentless effort and
resistless force.
A feature that the great general
public should be quick to realize is
that they, members of the public, will
not be called on to contribute any
thing except good will. Positively
no money contributions will be ex-
pected or received from them. They
will be expected to exhibit ..eir
friendship, but not their checkbooks.
Only some three million men are
eligible to take active benefit of the
Legion campaign. The organization
now has enrolled more than a mil
lion and a half former service men
and women, leaving some three mil
lion who can belong but who do not.
The PUSH" then, is aimed direct
ly at this minority. All OF, the CON-
bined efforts of the million and half
of their fellows will be: devoted to
bringing the absent into the fold.
Which means that every legionnaire
will have to take on and convince
two comrades. =, :' @s>
. The Legion has no intention of
passing up the general public, simply
because it Is not asking anything
from the public. The Legion keenly
desires to interest every American in
its push" because it believes it is to
every American S interest to he inter-
ested, which is not as ambiguous as
it sounds.
Efforts also will be made to get
army, navy and marine corps men
who are eligible. Posts located near
camps are expected to actively go out
after these fellows. Another special
sortie will be made against collegi-
ans especially OF faculties.
The nationwide "push" is expect
ed to reach men in the most inacces-
sible places. Any fifteen ex-service
men can form their own post by get
ting together and applying to nation
al headquarters for application
blanks. 1t is believed that no local
ity is so thinly settled that it can
not scare up fifteen former fight
ers who can band together for So
cial and Legion purposes.
Incidentally, the campaign will
reach into the far corners of the
earth. Already the Legion has posts
in fourteen foreign countries, and
these outposts of Americanism are ex-
pected to join in the push" and ex-
tend the Legion's frontiers.

RUBY IS JULY BIRTHSTONE
Gem Has Been Associated Through thu
Centuries With Some Remarkably
Quaint Superstitions.

The ruby is the birthstone of July.
1t was associated in ancient times with
many queer superstitions. How these
old fancies originated or how they
could have been palmed off on the pub
lie it Is difficult to imagine The fact
that the common people had implicit
faith in them proves how very much
more credulous the world once was
than it is today.
For instance, the ancients believed
that if ruby were worn about the
neck 1t conferred the power of seeing
in the dark One wonders what monu-
mental faker started this absurd con-
ceit and for what purpose. It was gen.
orally believed, however, possibly be-
cause rubies were costly and the COM
mon people could not test the matter
for themselves.
The ruby also was supposed to be a
talisman against evil spirits, the
plague and poison. BY the deepening
of its color it forewarned its wearer
against impending misfortune. If tied
upon the forehead in linen cloth it
was believed to be a specific for dis
ease of the eye.-Brooklyn Eagle.

SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Undisputed Champions In the
Flying Game.

Long-distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in a re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end of the world. One nesting ringed
in Lancashire, was found In Cape
Province in February of the next year
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; a fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed In Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward; the fifth bird,
ringed on June 1, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
was found In February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by ]. II. Whitherby, editor Of British
Birds.

THE TOUCH OF NATURE.

The reason that 1 like the bust
ness girl better than the stay-at-
home girl, is because the business
girl is seldom a CRATER, and the
stay at-home girl nearly always is,
said a young man in discussing the
ever-interesting girl proposition.
The girl who has never done any
work except to work papa, feels
that she has a perfect right to dip
her hand as deeply into every mas
culine pockctbOOk as she can. To
her. man simply exists to be eX-
plotted by woman. and beau is a
poor simp mercifully ordained by
an All Wise Providence to supply
her with taxis, and flowers, and
theater tickets, and little dinners
and suppers.
When you take that type of girl
out, you are bankrupt for the next
month, and press your own trous-
ers and dine at a lunch counter. She
can think of more ways to spend
money in a minute than Coal Oil
Johnnie could in a month. She al
ways wants to go to the most eX-
pensive places to eat, and inyari-
ably orders the things that are out
of season and whose prices make you
"OlOtE IL oht 10 uiANCA NAC iiA4s
apprehension that you are mill
lionaire in disguise.
ASK her to go to some theater
with you, and she says she is so
anxious to see some play, whose
tickets are in the hands of speCu-
lators, and that cost you fortune
to buy. And she naively suggests
that if you are going to send her
some flowers that orchids are her
favorites. and you have to haul her
back and forth in a taxi. for she
gets paralysis in her lower limbs
and can't walk a step whenever
there's a chance to hold man up
for a ride.
"Oh, the stay-at-home girl is no
cheap skate whenever somebody
else is paying the bill. She goes on
the principal that this may be her
last opportunity at good thing
and she had better get the best out
of it while the getting is good.
And I'll say she's wise, for not
many of US are foolish enough to
give even the prettiest hold-up ar
tist a second shot at us.
"On the other hand, the girl who
earns her own bread and butter
does not regard men as her fore
destined prey. she looks upon
them as brothers and comrades, and
instead of wasting their money, she
tries to help them to save II. In
vite business girl to lunch, and
nine times out of ten she will sug-
gest some cheap little place she
knows of, and she will look twice
at the price of a dish before she
orders it.
ASK her to go to the theater and
she will pretend she prefers the
| movies, or say Let's go up in the
gallery" and she won't hear of
! taxis. The street cars are good
enough for her. You never spend
more than you should when you go
out with business girl. and if you
develop symptoms of extravaganza.
she will lecture you on thrift, as IL
she was old Ben Franklin himself
