"She Loves and Lies" is one of those
plays that interests at the start, grows
in suspense and ends with a climax
that contains a. surprise. Miss Tai
madge has the best opportunity of
her career for comedy work, and
shows that she is talented in this line

Conway Tearle, her handsome lead

other class of service individuals, from

The three-day conference of state
adjutants Of the American Legion was
6g0nght to a close in Indianapolis Sun
day afternoon with the adoption of
resolutions, following an address by
II. G. Chomeley-Jones. director of the
war risk insurance bureau.
The adjutants expressed themselves
as heartily in favor of all departments

tions as shall be properly given by
national headquarters in accordance
with directions received from the ma
tional convention or the national exc
cutive committee" in recognition of

training and adjusted compensation
I'VE feel, says the report, that the

The adjutants recommended that
the national executive committee
S.'adopt such measures as it can, under
bur constitution. to curb the indis-
criminate action of pasts and individ-
ual members which tend to embarrass
and retard the promotion of avowed
policies of the legion as expressed by
a majority sentiment.
A constitutional amendment to make
the national commander and all past
national commanders life delegates at
large to national conventions was rec
commended.
The prepara1 ion of a ritual or man
ual was urged for the universal use
of posts at limitations, funerals, etc.
and we further recommend that such
rituals impress fully the higher aims.
