TIME Karl Ross post or the Amer
i lean Legion, Stockton. Cal. claims
Mary Pickford as It's ''godmother," and
the little motion picture star does NOT
seem inclined TO dispute the claim,
having recently addressed a very moth
erly letter 10 her boys whom she ad-
dressed as godsons.
This post included the Battery c men
OF the 143d Field Artillery. OF which
little Mary was godmother.
"Our Mary was an ideal godmother,"
said Tod Clawdsley. editor OF the San
Joaquin Legion. "She did thousand
and one nice things for our regiment.
She autographed 1900 smileage books
and gave them 10 us; sent every sol
dler sweater; sent us thousands Of
cigarettes at Camp Kearney and had
10000 of them waiting for us at Camp
Merritt when we returned from
France. She provided US with auto
country to dance at Los Angeles
and she did lot OF other splendid
things. including giving our regimental
standard.
MARY was honored colonel OF the
14Sd Field Artillery. We have been
told that no other In the U. 5. ever
had the privilege Of formally inspect
ing regiment of American troops ex-
cept visiting royalty-no other woman,
that IS.
