WEALTH FLOWING INTO CUBA
Crops Of Cotton and Sugar win Net
People Of island Sons
$1,000, co0, 600.

Cuba's coming sugar crop is expect
ed to yield about 1000 600 tons--a rec
ord output. AT prices which the plant
ers are counting upon receiving for
their sugar this viii mean payment
to them OF from about $7J0000.o00 TO
$500. 100000. Bear in mind that this
is for. one crop raised on an islanr OF
only 1896 square miles and with a
population of about 2.JO0.000.
In the cotton growing sections of
the South there are approximately
about $4,000. 900 people. The center Of
interest in Cuba Is sugar. in about
the same degree that cotton concen-
trates the interest of the South. When
the cotton crop first reached the
value of $1,000, 000,Oe0 year. the
world held up its hands In amazement.
and yet this $1,000. 100000 is distrib-
uted directly or indirectly among %
000. 900 people. In Cuba more than
third of that amount will be distrib-
uted directly or Indirectly among
100000 people. Every dollar of this
vast sum is paid into Cuba from other
countries. 1t is as though the entire
world production of gold for two years
and more were dumped into Cuba, rs
measured by the worlds production of
gold and the Cuban sugar crop value.

NO CHANGE IN HUMAN BONES
Construction of Shoulder Blades Today
the Same as Those of Sixty
Centuries Ago.

There has been no dlscernible
change In the>Shoulder blade of man
in the last 6.000 years, according 10
DIR. William w. Graves of st. Louis
who spoke before the meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
Shoulder blades of Egyptian num-
mics. 5000 years old. and those Of
Illinois river Indians, believed to be
about the same age, are the same as
those of the present-day men, accord
ing TO Doctor Graves.
In July and August of last year Doc
tor Graves measured 100 shoulder
blades of men and animals endeavor-
ing to classify the differences in them.
The vertebral borders. with Which he
was particularly concerned. are the
same in humans as in gorillas. Chin
panzees and also in lower monkeys.
Concerning the skeletons of Illinois
river Indians. which he' said appear
TO be between 1000 and 6,000 years
old. he was asked If he considered that
proof that this continent was inhablt-
ed then hy humans whose physical
type was as high rs that of the Egyp-
tians of that day. He said that he
could not draw snch conclusion, al
though the shoulder blades are OF the
same type.

FAIRY Baskets.

Fairy baskets are made of large
hazel nuts. dlbeITs or peach pits. Fill
berts must be soaked in hot water for
several hours; hazel nuts and peach
pits may be used green. With a
sharp, fine pointed penknife bore
through the iilbert or hazel nut on
each side in the light colored upper
third, cut away the shell carefully
around the hole so as TO leave ham
die between the incisions, dig out the
meat that is inside. then cut very tiny
notches in the lowfr edge. If you use
peach pits trim Of the sharp point,
then bore and cut out the shell and
trim the stalk end smooth.
Those baskets are n never failing
pleasure to both children and grown
ups. One use to which you can put
the fairy baskets is loop n dozen or
more upon strand of silk floss, fill
each one with earth and supply it with
n single fine grass seed. then hang
them in a sunny window and keep
moist.

loans and many other matters of in
terest to those who served with the
colors. have been introduced in the

LEGION NOT MILITARY BODY
Made Clear by Lemuel 8olles,
National Adjutant.

Numerous reports received from all
parts of the country at National head
quarters of the American Legion, show
that there is a misunderstanding on
the part of many regarding the or
ganization, and particularly with re
gard to its purpose along military
lines.
This misunderstanding has resulted
in the Issuing of the following state
ment, by Lemuel Bolles, national ad-
jutant:
1T has been brought to my notice
ON several occasions that there is a
belief on the part of many that the
American Legion is a military ergun-
ization. OF course it is not. The
American Legion is civilian organi-
zatiOn and membership does not affect
or increase liability for military or
police service. We maintain our civil
ian status and our military obligations
are the same as those of all other cit
liens.
The organization has Interested IT.
self actively in the military policy of
the country, not because we are n mil
itary organization but because we are
able from the inside to detect certain
| mistakes and weaknesses in the mill
| tary organization as now established
Our work in this direction is but an
effort on the part of patriotic cti-
zens TO serve their country along lines
In which they feel they are specially
prepared to speak intelligently
THE military policy of the Amer
lean Legion was determined at the
Minneapolis convention and has been
clearly defined by the military policy
committee there appointed.
'The American Legion Is in favor
of universal military training, but the
national convention of the American
Legion also provided, as a condition
precedent thereto and as an essential
safeguard thereof, for civilian control.
The convention recognized the fact
that thorough housecleaning and
elimination of the inefficient officers
and methods of our entire military
establishment was necessary and also
favored equality of obligation and OPP
portunity for all American citizens,
and adequate protection against an
enlarged or stronger military caste.
"While the convention favored the
policy of universal military training,
at the same time a stand was taken
against compulsory military service in
time of peace. The American Legion
favors Il national military and naval
system based on universal military OBJ
legations to include relatively small
regular army and navy and citizen
army and navy capable of rapid ex-
pansion sufficient to meet any national
emergency on plan which will pro-
vide competitive and progressive
training for all officers, both of the
regular army and navy and of the citi-
zen forces.
But our military obligations are the
same as those of all other citizens
the same as the obligations of any of
the many fraternal organizations in
the country"
The Colorado statesman., 1920-05-22
FAVORS SMALL REGULAR ARMY
National Organization Supplemented
by Large Citizen Army Is Ideal
Sought by Legion.

A small regular army supplemented
by large citizen army is the ideal
sought i'm the American Legion Army
Reorganization bill (Senate Bill 1892
TO the which the support of the legion
is pledged through Its national leglS-
lative committee in accordance with
resolutions adopted at the Minneapo-
lis convention.
The provisions of the bill may be
sur, ,narized as follows:
The large citizen army would be
composed of all young men between
the ages of eighteen and twenty-one'
who would take four-months' course
In Intensive training-vocational, ed
ucational and military.
Veterans of the war would not be
called upon to serve these -four months
or to take any other training, although
provisions probably would be maze
TO accept veterans who volunteered TO
assist in the training program.
Young men could elect, if they so de-
sired, to substitute for the four
months of intensive trimming an en-
listmcut of three years in the National
Guard. This National Guard service
would be under rules specified by the
federal government requiring weekly
drills and certain standards of pro-
fclency.
The training proposed would not IN
terfere unduly with the regular oc-
cupations of the young men enrolled
because there would be both winter
and summer periods of which they
could make their choice. This would
enable the youth working on north
eru farm to select the winter train
ing period and be assigned to n train
ing camp in the south. In any event.
he would be away from home com
parntively short time and he would
not be absent during the harvest sea-
son.
Furthermore, young men would be
placed in training according to the
service for which they are best suited.
For example, negro youths of the
south, who had not gone far in school
ing might be enrolled in labor battal-
ions. In these they would acquire the
rudiments of drill, but, more impor-
tant, would learn habits of right liV-
Ing.
A careful selection of officers would
be relied on to insure the system
against any abuse of authority. Ofii'
GERS unsuited for training work,
whether they belonged to the regular
army, the national guard or the re-
serve corps, would not be assigned
TO training camps. Those developing
traits that impaired their usefulness
would he relieved. Civilian officers
would have an equal share with reg
ular army officers in the training pro-
gram.
Advocates of the system of com
pulsory training say that small reg
ular army together with large citi-
zen army as contemplated would cost
less than even the regular army es-
tablishment, which would be set up
under the bill which the house OF rep
resentatives now is considering seri-
ously.

Union Favors Leaion's Stand.

Franklin D'Oller, national com
mnnder of the American Legion is in
receipt of letter from the Brick
layers union of Ames, Ia. favoring
the stand taken by the legion on ad-
justment of compensation of ex-serv-
ice men. The letter which is signed
by Charles Cooney, financial secre-
tary, is as follows: "We wish TO ex-
press our attitude on the question of
bonuses for soldiers. The question
was taken up at our meeting and /
am glad to state that we are heartily
in accord with the movement and
hope 1t will be of sufficient size to
show our appreciation of service rem
dered. Please let us know what we
can do to be of service"
