PLAN IS ENDORSED BY LABOR
New Jersey Unions and Labor Paper
Editor in Favor of Americanism
Program.

The Charles Henry Post No. %
New Brunswick, N. j. secured the
active cooperation of the local unions
of the American Federation Of Labor
in the Americanism program which
has been worked out by that post.
Members of the post Americanism
committee first explained in detail to
the editor of the labor paper what
their aims and plans were. They
asked his help in advancing the cause
Of good citizenship and he not only
publicly gave his editorial support,
but offered space in his paper for
publicity they wished for their work.
Members of the committee also went
to the heads of various unions, and
explained their aims and plans of
campaign. The labor leaders, who
were all patriotic Americans, were en-
thusiastic In their support Of the
legion's plans and at one Of the early
meetings of all the labor unions the
committee presented an outline of the
Americanism work, for which they
wish to obtain the assistance Of the
unions.

dianapolis and every organization
owes debt of appreciation and
gratitude to the men who so ably
and persistently and skillfully carried
on the campaign for Indianapolis" said
Charles F. Coffin, president Of the In
dianapolis chamber of commerce, which
contributed to a fund to send large
delegation to the Minneapolis conven-
ton.
"There is now an obligation as well
as an opportunity upon the citizens of
Indianapolis to show that they all ap-
preciate the significance of the fact
that the headquarters of the great or
ganization are to be permanently To-
Gated in Indianapolis. 1t is not enough
simply to have obtained them. I think
you will agree with me that the least
the city of Indianapolis can do is to
supply the Legion ample grounds free
Of charge upon which they will erect
one of the handsomest buildings that
Indianapolis has ever had.
bringing the headquarters Of this
organization to Indianapolis is not like
bringing factory or industrial plant
to the city. With this organization
comes power from which will go in
fluences for law and order and civiliza-
tion.'
The fund started by the chamber Of
commerce grew quickly. The county
commissioners shortly took steps look
ing to half million dollar bond issue,
the county's contribution to the fund.
The state legislature is expected to
make appropriation for the memorial
and the Legion posts will canvass the
state for contributions to what will
probably be a 100000 or 100000
memorial fund.
A plan is now under consideration to
purchase two city blocks lying between
two parks which would clear a plaza
between the city post Office on the
south and the city library on the north.
which the new memorial building would
face.

A HooSier by birth, Mr.. Creviston
enlisted in May, 1917, In Company e

charge of the administration co-ordina-
ton section.
On April S, 1918, he was selected
by the committee on education and
special training to help In the organi-
cation of vocational training system.
In this connection, he was transferred
to the inspectors division and given

sofa, Nebraska. North and South Da-
kota, where he established various

POPPY AS MEMORIAL FLOWER
Tacoma (Wash.) Post Adopts Resoiu-
tion Urging Flanders Fields Bios
som Be Made Official.

A request has been received by
Franklin D'Olier, national commander
of the American Legion, to have the
Shirley poppy adopted as the memo
rial flower Of the Legion. The request
originated with the Edward B. Rhodes
Post No. Of Tacoma, Wash, which
has adopted resolution favoring the
adoption Of the poppy.
The resolution adopted by the Wash
ington post was as follows:
''Lest we in the days work, sur
rounded by home and happiness. forget
our comrades who sleep in France,
and here In the arms of the mother
land;
'Lest we forget that greater love-
Of these American boys who gave
their lives for their fellow men,
''Lest we forget that in Flanders
fields the peoples grow, among the
crosses, row on row. and that nature
seems to have raised In these simple
flowers the most eloquent monument
a waving scarlet blessing over their
graves:
BE it resolved, That the Edward B..
Rhodes post, American Legion, inaugu-
rate a movement to have the Shirley
poppy adopted as the Memorial flower
of the American Legion.
''That the American Legion take
steps to assist and urge that every
public park, cemetery, and every pri-
vate garden, in gratitude to the men
who made the supreme sacrifice, do,
during the coming spring and sum-
mer, and every spring and summer
thereafter, revere the memory Of our
soldier dead by setting aside plot for
continued display of waving red pop
pies.
'That red poppy be worn by every
member Of the American Legion on
Memorial day."
It is probable that similar resolu-
ton will be introduced by the post at
the next convention of the American
Legion, which is to be held in Cleve-
land, o.

viii Teach Americanism.

Silver Bow Post No. 1, of Butte,
Mont, has adopted a resolution adj
vocating a course Of training in the
public schools in the teachings of
true Americanism. The Aroericanism
committee of the legion met with the
educational committee Of the school
board to perfect plans for this work,
and the school board has ordered that
ten minutes be devoted each day to
the singing Of patriotic songs and
the teaching Of American principles
of government.

the officer later confessed he didn't
know whether to shake hands with
the fellow or shoot him.
English Judges Robes.

There is as much difference in the
gowns worn by British legal lights as
there is in their wigs. The robes of a
high court judge are gorgeous and i'm.
posing. They are made of rich silk and
trimmed with ermine. Then, too, high
court judges carry, but never wear,
large three-cornered hats. Judges who
preside over lower courts wear much
less gorgeous robes, and do not carry
three hats. A barrister,s gown
is made Of black alpaca or some SIM
liar material known as "stuf"' in
the legal profession. It is only
when barrister has become Z. @.
that he may don gown of silk. For
this reason a kings counsel Is often
referred to as a silk"
