JOKER IN BILL FOR
DISABLED SOLDIERS
AMERICAN LEGION WEEhlh DE-
NOUNCES MEASURE PASSED
BY REPUBLICAN CON
GRESS.

Washington, D. C.-The attitude OF
the present Republican Congress to-
ward former service men is the sub
iect of an article in the American Le-
gion Weekly Of August in which
Senator Francis e. Warren, chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations
is rcbuked for the alleged manner in
which ne received a committee Of
25 disabled ex-service men who called
TO see him. They reported that Sena-
tor Warren told them he was occu-
pied with more important matters,
and said to them: II you can't get
along on $50 a month, I'm sorry
The Legion paper article says that the
Republican Senator dismissed these
disabled men with an impatient, on,
hell"
The principal complaint the Amer
lean Legion makes, however, is that
Senator Warren is the author of a
Joker" in the form of an amendment
to the Darrow bill for the benefit Of
disabled men who are obliged to learn
new vocations before they can earn
an Independent livelihood. Among
other things. the Darrow bill provid-
ed for q flat increase Of $50 . month
to these men. then receiving only
$50 month, with which 10 meet the
high living cost.
Where Joker" Comes In.
The amendment of seventeen words
provided that the increase should 90
to only those men residing in con
gested centers Of population where
maintenance and support IS above the
average and comparatively high This
was included at his instance ana
insistence,' the article says Of Senator
Warren. With the passage Of this
amendment, It became necessary for
the Vocational Board having these
men and the expenditure of this mon
ey in charge, to launch a campaign To
find out in what communities this dis.
crimination should be applied, result
ing in months Of delay in meeting
the necessities of these needy sol.
diers.
The article reads:
They have placed upon the Federal
Board for Vocational Training e. re.
sponsibiility of Interpretation and q
new burden OF administration which
cannot but seriously hamper its work.
They have denied to thousands Of dis
abled veterans a fair increase in the
allowance given them by their Gov
ernment. They have caused delays Of
weeks in the payment of these in
creased allowances to the men whc
are granted them by the law They
have stiNed up general uncertainty
among the disabled men undergoing
training. They have hurled q wrench
into the whole vocational training
system with the result that the heart
breaking distresses which have mark
ed Americas treatment OF her wound
ed for the last two years will be con
tinued for many months to come And
this just as the agencies concerning
themselves with the care Of the
wounded men were beginning to
breathe easy in the belief that most
Of the difficulties they had been meet
Ing wore passed"

cussinG."
This explanation was offered by
the mayor during the case Of the City
Of Ardmc versus Lou Miller (col-
orcd) who ;as held on a charge Of
disturbing the peace. According to
the testimony offered in the case.
Lou Miller and May Barter, both of
pronounced brunette affiation, had
been the chief combatants in a ter
rible fuss" in the northwest part
Of town. 1t appears that the pair
had been in a vocal wrangle, with
threats Of bringing a baseball bat
into play. However the last named
act has not been filmed, due TO in.
reference by friends Of Mary.
Mary brought with her as witnesses
in the case, a squad of colorcd bellies,
all of whom testified that they had
not heard much, however there had
been a terrible fussin'."
While testimony was being offered
by Lou Miller, a series Of comments
arose In the enemies quarters, and
Chief Of Police Chancellor threatened
10 arrest the "whole shebang."
The mayor reserved decision in the
case until more witnesses could be
heard.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Still Thinks of the Boys

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Dear 'Sir-I will appreciate it if you will publish my address in your Ameri- can Legion notes, in order that my many boys of the Dixie division of the Ala bama section of the Rainbow division (the 167th infantry) may know where am and write to me.
 After my service with the Second Ala bama headquarters company and the band, as assistant mess sergeant and chief cook three months in Camp Sheri- dan served in Camp Wheeler as ''camp letter for the base hospital" and under the commander of the base hospital as hostess for the Red Cross rest room for the mothers, wives and sisters of the boys who were ill. I also served under the Macon Y. M C. A. as official chap eron for the ladies who went to camp every Tuesday and Friday night for fourteen months to sing, play and recite for the boys. I left Macon April 8, 1919, and after trip to Washington, Phila- delphia, Baltimore and New York, the war council of the Y. M. c. A. sent me to the naval operating base near Nor folk, Va, to mother the gobs I spent eight months there in close touch with some 12,000 fine lads from all the states and other countries. One of my most in- teresting experiences was class in stenography, composed of eleven Filipino sailors. They were extremely intelligent courteous and ambitious. Teaching them was a great pleasure. After January 1 was in the morale division of the United States navy until June 30, 1920. I made trip to Akron and to Chicago (where I was entertained by two Dixie division men whom all our boys will recollect-Jarl Staive, the splendid grand opera tenor who gave us such joy with his voice. and Dr. Alex B. Pooley, the pianist who wrote Tt Shall Be Done')

CANNING SEASON ACTIVE
Housewives Realize Importance O
 Having Shelves We'll Stocked

New York. August 27.-(SpeciaD - With bountiful crops of all of the most popular fruits assured and plentiful supply of sugar now on the market. this is an ideal year for home preserv- ing and canning. That, housewives are taking advantage of these favor able conditions and are planning to have full preserve shelves for us next winter is indicated by an unusually heavy sale of preserving and canning supplies. Department stores in many parts of the country report an excep- tional demand for jars, rubbers, paraf- fine and other equipment used in home canning.
 Hundreds of families are also avail ing themselves of present opportunities to buy sugar in large quantities. Others are planning to use in canning various sugar supplies that have been hoarded during the last few months.
 Every jar of preserves will be appre- ciated next winter. A full preserve shelf means housekeeping money saved for preserves take the place of more expensive foods and yet do not detract from the food value of the menu as their nutritive value is high.
