Father Bernard Vaughan, said that
in a day gone by women dressed

three purposes of decency, warmth
and ornament.
To-day. when there is a mad
craze for what some women call
the emotional gown dress sins
against every canon Of good taste.
1t Is immodest. unhealthy, and as
ugly as; 1t is expensive.

All the Washington units are

in cash prizes to the various high
schools, including the two colored
schools, for the best esays on pa
triotic subjects, the books for the
preliminary reading to be donated
to the school by the legion. and ad-
dresses made to the school adopted
by each urit outlining the Condi-

work by adopting Western High,
following which the Admiral Samp-

has been officially adopted by a
unit or units of the American Wom-

The legion hores by the comman-

in our country by the statistics
