AMERICAN LEGION PLANNING TO SOLVE
 MYSTERIES IF WAR

Unsolved mysteries of the world war, involving the death or disappearance of more than 2.000 members of the A. E. F. are to be solved by the Amer ican legion if a campaign planned by the veterans organization is carried out successfully.
 The mysteries are cases where off ciaI action has run it's course and ter minated with the always brief and sometimes conflicting reports of miss ing in action" killed in battle,' or presumed to be dead.' In each case it is claimed that definite or detailed information has not been received by the family of the soldier or sailor in question. How many more than 2,o0O such cases there may be is not known, but the American Legion Weekly has received that number of letters from the kin and friends of missing men.
 There are instances where it appears that men sailed for France and straightway disappeared from the face of the earth No conclusive word ever has been received of their fate. There are cases by the score of men reported 1 to be wounded" or slightly wounded" and no other word, until months later, perhaps, a curt official announcement, presumed to be dead" There are cases where men have been reported to l be dead on a certain date, when later their relatives have received letters written by the soldiers own hands on 1 the same date

SHOULD ANYONE CALL YOU "CATTY,"
 MAKE NO MISTAKE; ITS A COMPLIMENT
Actress Says Cat Taught Her Beauty of Movement and Repose
BY DJUNA BARNES

NEW YORK-Have you ever felt you lacked a certain grace?
 Have you ever wondered if you had somehow missed knowing all the sec ret of that mystic thing-charm?
 Go get you a cat, fair lady, and be a humble student at it's feet.
 Perhaps you already own cat but if you don't, you should. No great woman in history thought to get along without one.
 So says Fania Marinoff, the actress wife of the author, Carl Van Vechten. Her husband has just written book all about the cat, so she ought to know.
 Cats are particularly indispensable to women who simply must exert their charm" says Fania, If you are in business where charm is not needed (and I know of no such business) why you can afford to neglect the feline element. but not in any other case
 All Learned from Cat
 "The women in the past. the great sirens, the great lovers. the great rid dies and the great intellectuals, have. all of them, learned the trick from the house cat.
 "Hypatia may have picked up book on economies, but it's sure bet that Cleopatra and Madame du Barry picked up a tabby. Watch the smart woman-She Is invariably a cat lover.
 When a man wants to describe a woman who has exerted some indis cribable influence on his life, he will tear his hair, make a few inane ges- lures, and suddenly his face will light up-'feline' he will ejaculate, like a tiger, you know
 "Why?" she was asked
