Day. Il am the way, and the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the
Father but by me-" St. John XIV:16.
The church on May 1st, celebrates the
festival of two apostles. St. Philip
was one of the earliest disciples of our
Lord, and preached after the Ascension
in Upper Asia, where he made many
converts. Toward the close of his life
he came to Hierapolis in Phrygia. a
great city devoted to the worship of a
monstrous serpent. By his prayers
an6 preachings he succeeded in destroy
ing this hideous idolatry; but the magis-
trates were SO enraged at his success in
spreading the Gospel amongst the peo-
pie, that they ordered him to be cruci-
fled. The other apostle-commemora
in this festival, St. James is called the
brother of our Lord. Among the He
brews, cousins were counted brothers.
He was chosen Bishop of Jerusalem,
and from the holiness of his life gained
the title of St. James the Just. He
was martyred by the Scribes and Phari-
sees, who set him upon a pinnacle of
the temple at the feast of the Pass
over, hoping to compel him to renounce
Christ in the sight and hearing of all
the multitude. But he fearlessly de-
clared Him to be the Son of God; and
they, in the fury of disappointment.
threw him down from the high place,
and with stones and clubs completed
his destruction, even while he prayed
for them.
The spring meeting of the Woman's
will meet in St. Anne's Par

LEGI0N'S DEBTS ARE REDUCED
Claims Against Organization Have
Been Lowered $4,000 Per Month,
Treasurer Announces.

The reduction of the Indebtedness of
the American Legion from 1886 to
$197,214 In five months, or at the rate
of approximately $4,000 month, has
been announced by Robert RI. Tyndall,
national treasurer, at Indianapolis. His
statement covers the Indebtedness I'D
to June 80.
The high mark of $343,64S was
reached on January 81, and since then
there has been a steady reduction of
the deficit, In a previous announce
ment Mr.. Tyndall declared that the Lee
gion's old Indebtedness Of $257, 900,
borrowed last summer for preliminary
organization work, had been paid in
full.
The treasurer's books show that the
Indebtedness of $197 PA outstanding
on June 30is offset easily threefold by
the assets of the American Legion.
The deficits at the end of the first six
months of the year are shown in the
following table:
January 81, S343,648.13; February
%, 1924, 1S3.S8; March 81, $3.50, 963.61;

TO WAR AGAINST sWINDLERs
National Organization Takes Steps to
Swing Full Force to Stamp
Out Practice.

National and departmental officers
of the American Legion have recently
brought to light several instances in
which INSCRIPTIONS swindlers have
successfully capitalized the grief of the
next of kin of Americans who lost their
lives in the world war, and the organi-
cations national headquarters has
taken steps to swing the full force of
the more than $500 Legion posts be-
hind movement to stamp out the
practice.
The mother of a dead soldier whose
grave had never been located recently
was told by one of these parasites that
he would visit Washington, if she paid
his expenses, and find out at first-hand
what could be done. Later, the impos-
tor reported success and advised the
bereaved family that the body would
be sent home. A brother became sus-
picious and by a personal call at the
war department learned that no in
quiry ever had been made.
Another woman, whose son had not
been heard from since he was reported
wounded while fighting in the Ar
gonne, received letter signed with
her sons name, asking her to send him
money. She made trip to Cleveland,
o., only to find that the letter was
hoax. Later, she received a telegram
signed with her sons name and noti-'
fed the police in the town from which
the message had been sent. The man
who had attempted to defraud her was
arrested.
At the instigation of the Legion. po-
lice of a California city are on the
trail Of man said to have made a
practice of corresponding with the next
of kin of deceased soldiers with view
to defrauding them. He wrote let
ter purporting to give first-hand infor-
nation concerning the death of one Of
these missing soldiers, whereas inves-
tigation showed that the writer Of the
letter had never been outside the Uni
ted States during the war.
Lemuel Bolles, Legion national adju-
tant, has urged all posts and depart
ments to assist in warning relatives Of
missing heroes against paying any
money for information or service Of
this nature, as both the Legion and the
war department are willing to provide
all available authentic information at
all times without charge.

MOSTLY OF INDIAN ORIGIN
Twenty-Five of the Forty-Eight States
of the Country Have Practically
Native Names.

Of our 49 states we find that % bear
names of Indian origin while II are
English, six Spanish and three French.
Two states may he said to have Amer
lean names. The first is Washington,
named after the Father of our Coun-
try, and the second Indiana, so called
on account OF the purchase and SUBJ
sequent settlement by various Indian
tribes of large tracts of land north OF
the Ohio river and within the present
boundaries Of the state.
When we review Indian state names,
we must remember that there was no
one Indian tongue. Instead, there
were several separate and distinct lam
suaGes, and each of these was divided
into many dialects. Hence the wide

sections.
