LEGION AUXILIARY
ARGUES ON POLICY
One Faction Favors Small "Voi-
tures,' While Other Wants
One Large Body
WILL PROVIDE PLAYGROUND

La Societe de 40 Hommes and 3
Chevaux, which aims to be an adjunct
to the American Legion and which will
provide the playground for the legion
aries, at meeting in the State
REMEDIES Armory discussed the fea :
lures OF a constitution until the con
ferees were compelled to leave the build
ing because the lights were turned out.
The organization, as proposed, will
be a national body with voitures which
correspond to the posts in the Legion.
There are two factions, one of which
favors a voiture for every post that
cares to establish one, the other favor
ing single .voiture In Philadelphia
county.
AS this society Is being promoted
solely for the pleasure and amusement
Of legionaries, the advocates Of a single
voiture contend that social facilities
can be provided more advantageously
by one large voiture than by a number
Of small struggling voitures throughout
the city.
Joseph s. Breen heads the society.
The committee framing the constitution
Is composed Of Herman n. Schwartz,
chairman William o. Muench, Jr.
H. Eugene Heine, David II. Rahilly,

ing to make this trip should apply al

4 MODERN CIRCE
Heroine of a Romantic Tale
That Won the French
academy Prize

The award by the French Academy of
its grand romance prize of 5000 francs
to Pierre Benoit's "L'Atlantide" and
the sale Of 100. 900 copies Of the book
within n few months of its publication
are likely to provoke much speculation
about the condition in which the war
has left France.
The book Is the story of a modern
Circe. living in the lost Atlantis. The
author elaborates the theory that the
continent did not sink. but that it was
left high and dry in the Sahara desert
by the withdrawal of the sea. He traces
the descent of the queen of the kingdom
to Neptune through Cleopatra Selene,
daughter of Anthony and the famous
Cleopatra, and he finds the palace in
which she lives out In the rocks in a
mountain peak surrounded by mountain
barriers and dried-up water courses as
described in the Greek legends. And
then he intimates that instead of being
the offspring of NEUROLOGICAL heroes. she
Is the daughter OF French demimon-
daine and a Polish count, who induced
the mother to 60 to Africa with desert
chief. soon after she told him that she
was Expecting. The greater part of
the story is told by French officer who
had been carried captive to the queens
dominions and had escaped. but was
going back again. He says that she has
runners on the desert on the outlook for
likely young men. They are made cap
tive and taken to her. where they be-
come her lovers till she tires of them.
Then they die of longing for her. Now
and then she has to have one Of them
killed. but most of them refuse to eat
and pine away. When they are dead
she has their bodies electroplated and
preserved in open mummy cases in a
large circular hall with 120 inches. Be-
fore she welcomes each new lover she
goes to this hall and looks at those who
have gone before. standing before each
and smiling grimly. Only two ever
escaped from her palace before death.
One was an Italian. who later returned
and died as the others. and the second
is the man who tells the story and is
on his way back after five years, during
which the Circe has not been out of his
mind for n waking moment. 1t is Sug-
eested that the woman is taking re-
venge on the men because of the many
women who have been loved for time
and then deserted, and that she is fight
ing a campaign in the age long war be-
tween the sexes.
One can understand why the book
sells, but it is not so easy to find
reason for the award to it of the French
Academy prize. 1t Is a romance. but
other romanceS with different theme
must have been submitted. Can it be
that even the intellectual French have
sunk into feshly degeneration?

OHIO THE BATTLE-GROUND

With the naming of Gov. James M.
Cox on the 44th ballot the delegates
at the Democratic convention placed
Ohio in her rightly-earned position,
recognizing the Buckeye state as the
pivotal state in the coming campaign
battle. Hardly otherwise could
Cox's managers have beaten down
the united opposition which worked
for his overthrow.
That the people of Ohio are pleas
ed with the selection of two Of the
most prominent citizens as candidates
for the highest office in the land is
evident beyond doubt. Both have held
office, Gov. Cox being the only execu-
tive, with the exception of one, in the
United States who has sat in the Gov
ernor's chair for three terms. Both
also have tasted bitter defeat in their
quest for higher office.
That Gov. Cox waged clean fight
in the convention balloting is evident
to all who have followed events Of the
past few weeks, and his selection by a
body of delegates so pronouncenly dry
is further proof that he is not as"wet"
as he has been and will be credited
within dry communities.
Gov. Cox will pursue an aggressive
campaign if he runs true to form.
What the outcome will be, no man can
truthfully fortell. Before the RepubE-
can convention Republican landslide
was predicted, but with the selection
Of Harding as their standard bearer
and the nomination of Cox on the
Democratic side, sentiment has begun
to change rapidly.
Voters who will trouble themselves
to look up the records Of the two men
seeking the highest office in the land,
will find that Harding is a reaction
ary Of the most pronounced type. Cox's
record will show him up as being much
on the progressive order, cautious yet
far-seeing.
"As New York goes, so goes the ma
ton, was once the saying of wise
politicians. Then Ohio replaced New
York in deciding results. The last
time California usurped the honors.
This year Ohio may once more come
into her own as decider of elections
and if so the result will be certain.
Every indication points to Ohio as
the battle ground. Cox will carry Ohio
but it will be battle royal.

COME ON, DEMOCRATsl

The Democrats have a most excel
lent opportunity to carry the fall
elections this year, due, in great mea-
sure, to the discomfort existing in the
ranks of the G. o. P. The result Of
the Chicago convention was anything
but pleasing, to large portion of re-
pub lean voting strength. By the
elimination of Johnson and Wood, be-
came evident the determination of Old
Guard adherents to kill for all time
that element of the party once known
as progressive. But the aforemention-
ed wing will not be cut off. 1t re-
mains discontented, affronted men,
ber Of the main body, capable of much
impedimentum.
On the other hand there is no such
dissension in democratic ranks. There
are no differences of opinion. The
prohibition question has been settled
to the best interests of all the people
and that will not be an issue of the
present, and, let us hope, future, cam
paigns.
Locally, the strained relations are
much more intense, and it is to be re-
GREETED that democrats in the county,
overlooked filing for offices. A fine
chance is presented this fall for sue
cessful democratic ticket and it is to
be hoped that capable men will come
forward and offer for the offices.
Too big is, the boast that republi-
cans shall continue to administer the
various county offices in their own
sweet way. As a matter of public
duty, democrats should aspire to every
office within the gift of the people.
