FURLOUGH AT ATLANTIC CITY
Famous Resort Post Arranses to Ac-
commodate Former Service Men
on Their Vacations.

The Atlantic City post of the Ameri-
can Legion is hooking up the A. E. f.
leave area idea to the possibilities of
Americas summer resort. 1t is invit-
ing LegiOnnaires from any part of the
United States to spend a furlough at
Atlantic City, and it is establishing for
them a tent camp at which the ex-
pense item of quarters is reduced to
minimum. SO, even though our we'll
known former skipper, Uncle Sam,
isn't available to issue transportation
and Communication of rations and quar-
tiers, any Legionnaire may now spend
a vacation at Atlantic City without
going financially fiat in the process.
Bill Fisher, formerly top sergeant of
Company G, Twenty-third engineers,
is the father of the Atlantic City leave
area plan. He put the scheme up to
the Atlantic City post and the post
voted to carry it out. A committee
was authorized to go ahead with the
scheme.
The conception of the camp which
the committee had in mind when it
started work was a tent town which
should be operated on the simplest
plan feasible 1t should provide for
nominal sum living quarters under
canvas, thus saving the Legionnaires
the expensive hotel bills and at the
same time assuring them of place to
stay in city in which it is sometimes
difficult to obtain hotel accommoda-
lions at any price. Living in the tent
town, the ex-service men should be
able to take advantage of the bathing,
the boating, the dancing on the piers,
the shows in the theaters and the
many other diversions which the re-
sort offers.
The committee has named the tent
town Camp D'Olier in honor of the Le-
gion's national commander. IT has
worked ont all the details of the camp.
The city councilmen, led by the mayor.
granted the post the right to use
plot of ground owned by the city and
the city engineer laid out the camp
streets and planned the sanitary facili-
ties.

INCREASE FOR DISABLED MEN
barrow Bill Enlarges Amount by $50
a Month for Veterans While TAX
ing Training.

Another important victory in the
American Legion's long fight for bene-
fetal legislation in behalf of sick and
disabled ex-Service men is revealed in
a telegram announcing passage of the
bill, recently received at Legion ma
tional headquarters from Thomas w.
Miller, chairman of the organizations
national legislative committee in
Washington.
The senate. in night session, ac-
cording to the message, passed the
measure as a rider to the deficiency
appropriation, bill. and as it previously
had been passed by the house, it now
awaits only the signature of the presi-
dent to become law.
The barrow bill increases, by $50 q
month, the amount of money paid to
disabled veterans of the world war
while taking training under the direc-
ton of the federal board of vocational
education.
This is the second time the Legion
has obtained an increase for, the
MANNED heroes, having pushed through
congress, last December, the Sweet
bill, which raised the amount of com
pensatiOn for them from $50 to $50
month.
"The passage of the barrow BILL"
said Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant
of the Legion, "was largely due to the
work done by Legionnaires who visited
Washington in, its interest. General
published reports at that time indi-
Gated that the Legion representatives.
confined their activities solely to the
pending ,fourfold optional compensa-
ton bill. Results show that the needs
of the disabled men always have stood
first on the Legion's program and the
organization is going right on working
for these unfortunates, irrespective of
what congress may or may not see fit
to do With the problems of ex-service
men as whole.
"The passage of the Darrow bill will
give great impetus to. the Legion's CO.
operative plan to assist the federal
board in getting every eligible disabled
man into training at once, as many
had refrained from taking training be-
cause of the inadequate compensation
heretofore allowed"

Thirteenth British Defeat.
This is the thirteenth successive
time since the inauguration of interna.
tional yachting contests a half century
ago, British challenger has been de-
feated by Yankee defender of the
Americas cup, the perpetual trophy
named from the schooner Yacht Amer
lea, which won the first race from
Great Britain in 1851.
The defender outsailed the green
sloop decisively, boat for, boat in the
last contest of a tempestuous series,
crossing the line only about rs minutes
before expiration of the six hours time
limit.
Indeed the last half of the race was
a race of the defender against time,
with the fate of the contest resting on
the wind, for the challenger was about
one mile astern when the American
sloop flashed over the line.
While waiting for Shamrock to fin
ish, the steam yacht, Victoria, ran
down to Resolute, and all hands, led
by Sir Thomas Upton, gave the victor
three cheers. The spectators fleet
gave the defender such a noisy vel

could be heard 10 miles away on shore.

Sir Thomas Upton announced imme-
diately after the race that he would

PRICES BRING PROSPERITY.

Charlottetown. Prince Edward
Island. Jan. S.-Skyrocket prices
paid for Holsters and furs this winter,
have brought historic prosperity to
Prince Edward Island. The silver
fox business outstripped the lumber
ing industry for the entire island and
latest available figures indicate that
lobster dealers gave the 1umbermen q
close u for second place.
About 50,0o0;00o feet Of lumber,
board measure, was disposed of, 1t Is
estimated and the total income ia
given as approximately $500, 900.
Thtrty-seven thousand cases OF lob
ster were canned. This yield brought
more than $1,400, 900 or about $3.50
case.
Despite development OF the silver
fox industry, the prices remained sky
high. Total income from the island
fox business for 1919 is estimated at
$4,000, 900. About 1000 young
breeding foxes were disposed of for
an average Of 5000 a pair, it is claim
ed. Latest figures show that $500
silver fox pelts were sold for about
s1.600.00 the average price betpa
$3.50. e.
All of the income from the fox
business, however, is not profit.
These a~ristocrats demand tender care
and choice foods. Some fox raisers
are said to provide porterhouse steaks
for their animals.
