OF more tian -FOUR a day. Membership
figures have not yet been compiled, but
when 1t is realized that at least ten
women are a necessary requisite for
the formation Of any one auxiliary
unit of any American Legion post it is
seen that probably 1900 or 1900
women were thus indirectly associated
with the legion through its auxiliary
units before the end of last month. To
what proportions this total will have
grown In another six months Is for ex-
perts to say. but an estimate Of 1000
units with total membership of more
than 5000 is not considered extrava-
CANT.
MinnesOta. with an aggregate of Is
such units completely organized, has
a substantial lead over all other states
in the Union in the matter of arOusing
its women relatives OF former fighters
to a realization of their privileges and
opportunities for constructive social
and economic service through direct
liaison with the legion in its avOwed
Americanism-a pledge which its L.
10000 members in more than 1900
posts throughout the land are unquali-
fedly committed.

auxiliary units. is only II behind the
