Unit Brings Joy to Men
At Mt. Alto.

Wounded soldiers at Mount Alto
Hospital are becoming poultry fan
ciers. George Baldwin Mccoy unit
OF the American Women's Legion
has donated a fund to start each
man in the chicken business.
About 100 veterans have been
gathered to this Public Health Ser
vice hospital from institutions scat
tered throughout the United States
to undergo final treatment. Time
hung heavy on their hands until
this organization. composed of
mothers, sisters and wives of world
war veterans, stepped in.
The chicken ranch has been con-
structed entirely by the men them
selves. Care of poultry has been
found one of the best means to keep
their minds busy and to prevent
worry. The hospital authorities
gladly co-operated with the women
by setting aside a plot of ground
for the work

Members of oversee divisions still
In the service welcome the an
nouncement that the War Depart
ment soon will allow the shoulder
insignia, associated with their COM
radeship overseas, to be worn
again. This is a reversal of the
War Department policy adopted
January 25, 1919. The discard Of
the shoulder insignia met with dis
approval on the part of nearly all
overseas veterans. 1t was first
adopted as a means of preserving
better conference among units, and
helping to. locate a man who had
strayed from his division area. The
fact that returned casuals who had
never seen service put on the in
sigma of some lighting unit when
they returned hastened the order
discarding them. Every corps or
service, not a division, which adopt
ed shoulder insignia overseas, will
be allowed to retain 1t now and
those that have none will be re-
quested to submit appropriate de-
signs for one.
