MAKERS oF DESTINY

III you expect any miracles in l9ZO,
you have got to perform Them says
John M. Siddall in the American
magazine. Zone of the sillest human
delusions is the idea that time Will
bring everything out all right. Have
MT you heard people get that off-and
then proceed to do nothing whatever
with time? Left to itself, time is
nothing but grand little passer.
Look how it passes in the desert and
in the Arctic circle. Plenty of time
but no potatoes"
This follows right in line with the
comment of another writer who says
nothing will happen for the better un-
til we begin to get little personal
reconstruction"
Time, reconstruction, are vague
words, meaning nothing unless acted
upon by the individual The motto

says Mr.. Siddall, provides you room
in which to perform That's really
a good deal too. Here's 1920 quite
n lot of room, 366 days, all Of them
clean and fresh and ready for use.
Reconstruction well, transmute
that into another slogan, this time
one from hymn: brighten the cor

feed the starving Armenians or dou

But you are you, with your own lit

PRODUCE MORE; SPEND LESS

Attorney General Palmer. while
possibly n bit optimistic in some of
his cost OF living pronuncIamentos,
puts the whole matter In n nutshell
when he says;
"lf everyone who produces will pro.
duce his utmost; If those who buy
and consume will save and eliminate
extravaganza, and If all honest peo-
pie will join with the department of
Justice In stamping ont proliteering
be reduced"
This recipe might be boiled down
slill more. thus:
Produce more; spend less Or If
anyone objects to the word "spcnd"
on account OF possible misconstruc-
tion of It; "Produce more; waste
less"
II everybody would do those two
things, or II half, or Il quarter Of the
people in tho United States would
settle down In earnest to doing them
anu iHuN StilIlIk BIoN tNunpl', ~
would turn false prosperity into
real prosperity, People who are
making money" only to see II slip
through their fingers would find that
they were getting something for their
money; and people making no more
than formerly would come nearer Ia
getting an oldfashioned living out OF
It,
This formula does not cover the
whole problem. underproduction and
overspending are not the only causes
of high prices. There Is the funda
mental cause of big war debt ant
the inflated currency and credit re
sulting from il. While there Ia sc
much money In circulation, prices
cannot so down to normal. But tn,
methods suggested might send then
down, say at least half way, to thci
pre-war level within fairly shor
time. And that would give 10 cent
the purchasing power OF today's dol
lar.

BAT TIE AREAMAP
WILL BE PRESENTED
New Measure Adopted In order
To Expedite Medal Award
ing Now Going On

To facilitate distribution of Vic
torla Medals in which the War
Department has enlisted the CO..
operation of the American Lee
gion, Adjutant General P. CHAR
rs has announced that copy of
the War Departments official
area map will be forwarded to
each of the $500 local posts of
the Legion, which are situated in.
every community in the United
States and in nineteen insular'
possessions and foreign countries
The map WILDE of great value
as an aid to determining eligibil-.
| ity for battle awards in the issue:
of the Victory Medals" writes
the Adjutant General in letter
to Franklin D'Olier. national
commander Of the Legion. "This
office IS also pleased to state that
since the arrival at mutual under
standing concerning the RESPONSE
bilities of the American Legion
and the recruiting service the
matter of distribution of Victory,
Medals has been progressing
nicely"
Notwithstanding the improve
ment III the situation noted by the
Adjutant General there still is
good deal of Misunderstanding on
the part of veterans as to the
steps necessary to procure their
medals and the arrangements I'M
der way for the formal presenta-
ton of the medals which will take
place on November II. I
There are two means by which
ex-service mems. may apply for
their decorations. The easiest
method is to apply to any post OF
the American Legion. The War
Department has authorized post
commanders to draw official APP
plication forms. These forms
can be executed at post headquar-
tiers. Legion officials will for
ward them to the proper sources;
The other way to get a medal rs.
to apply at any recruiting office.
There is only one way'in which
a veteran may share in'the formal
presentation ceremonies, the ar
for which are in en-
tire charge of the local Legion of
ficials in each community. I'm
less otherwise specified all medals
applied for through Legion chan
nels will be delivered to the Lee
gion post of the veterans choice
and retained there until Armis
tice Day when the formal presen-i
tatiOns will be held simultaneous
ly throughout the country. Vet-1
Grams who apply for their medals
the recruiting service
will receive them by mail at their
homes. If they desire to parti-
cipate in the Armistice Dayzcere- :
monies they should deposit their
medals with Legion post.
The Legion makes no distinc-
ton between members and nom
members in the Victory Medal
distribution. By the terms of the
terms of the agreement with the
War Department all ex-service
men may apply for their decora
tons through Legion channels and
participate in the Armistice Day
celebrations under Legion auspi-
ces. Specia arrangements are.
being made to get to gold-star
mothers and other next TOXIN
who are privileged to receive the
decorations of men who died in
