The erection of a magnificent build
ing to house national headquarters of
The American Legion in indianapolis
is assured following the action of the
Indiana state legislature, which voted
that the state war memorial should
take the form of q structure for this
purpose.
A tract of state-owned land in the
center of indianapolis, 900 feet long by
$50 feet wide, will be dedicated to this
project and the city has been author
lied to include two additional city
blocks adjoining the state properties.
The result will be a splendid plaza
with American Legion headquarters in
the center. The land is valued at APP
proximately $4,000, DOC.
The Legion building will be con-
structed under the control of a board
of trustees appointed by the governor
OF Indiana. All members will be men
OF the Legion. Already the Indiana
legislature has voted q tax levy which
will yield more than $3,O00,000 as an
earnest of it's desire to adequately
house and equip national headquar-

WHEN 4 Woman IS NERVOUS WORRIED

The lives of most women are

bad enough, but women's are
worse. Worry makes women sick.
1t pulls them down, and in their

Ject to pains, aches, weakness, back

Most women neglect their health,

does not pay. A little more atten-

ASKS FOR MILITARY ESCORTS
Philadelphia County Committee APP
peaIs to President Wilson to
Provide Firing Squads.

Following adviceS from the adju.
tant general of the army to the effect
that it is impracticable for the Wa
department, without a special appro-
priatiOn for transportation expenses,
to provide military escorts for the
burial at Philadelphia of soldier dead
whose bodies are being returned from
overseas, the Philadelphia county com
mittee of the Legion has appealed to
President Wilson to provide at least
two firing squads for this purpose
from Camp Dix or through the Frank
ford arsenal, at Philadelphia.
1.-The American Legion representa-
tives," the letter reads, were not sat
isfied with the excuse offered by the
adjutant general of the army for re
fusing to assist in meeting this emer
gency. The bodies of soldier dead of
the A. Z. f. are being returned to
Philadelphia daily, and as many as
five requests a day are being received
by the American Legion. The Legion,
through its representatives in the
county organization, took the position
that it ann avoid its responsibility
to honor these men who gave their
lives for their country.
The United States army is now re-
cruited to a strength of 100000. 1t
was the unanimous opinion among the
representatives of the 76 posts
in this county. that as commander in
chief of the United States army, you
might consider it a privilege to assign
to Philadelphia 16 men who might
as military escorts. thus assist
ing the American Legion in perform
ing a paramount patriotic duty"

LEGION AND LABOR QUESTION
Position Of National Body, Adopted at
Cleveland Meeting, Made Clear
in Bulletin.

A clear and well-defined exposition
of the official attitude of the American
Legion toward organized labor is con-
tanned in a bulletin sent out by ma
tional headquarters Of the Legion In
Indianapolis, setting forth the state
ment on the question issued by Past
National Commander D'Olier, which
was adopted by the national conven-
ton is the Legion's platform in indus
trial difficulties. The statement fol-
lows:
THE attitude of the Legion toward
organized labor is the same as its at
titude toward all groups of American
citizens who are interested in a square
deal for all in the maintenance of law
and order, and the protection of the
institutions handed down to us by our
forefathers. In any controversy be-
tween capital and labor, the interest
of the American Legion is confined to
that of the maintenance Of law and
order and, without taking part on
either side. in case q situation should
arise where life and property are en-
dangered, it is the duty of members
of the Legion to perform their full
duty as citizens, according to their
own conscience and understanding.
SIN such a contingency it is the
Legion mans duty to assist in the
maintenance of law and order by act
ing as an individual and offering his
services to the duly-constituted author
tiles for the maintenance Of law and
order. There is nothing to prevent
the individual member of the Legion
as an individual from taking either
side in such a controversy but the
Legion. as an organization will not
do So"
