PARIS POST is EFFECTIVE
Organization in French Capital Has 1877
Veterans of the A. E. r. on
Membership Rolls.

Over in France where the men who
make up the American Legion fought
and suffered and in the very city
where in the winter of 1919 the Amer.
lean Legion was born, there is carry
ing on today a large representative
post of the organization. With S37
veterans of the A. e. f. on its mem
bership rolls and the entire second
floor of handsome building for its
headquarters the Paris post today is
making its influence felt in caring for
the needs of its members and all for
mer service men.
One of the chief benefits rendered
by the Paris post has been in the way
of obtaining employment for honora-
bly, discharged service men seeking
work in the capital. More than 100
men were placed in positions during
the first seven weeks of the posts
service bureau operations. Helping
men to return home when their funds
are insufficient is another phase of the
work that is bringing relief to many.
The post, which is located in the
building of the American Library as
ISOLATION, at 10 Rue de rElysee, has a.
f1ourishing women's auxiliary of some
fifty members with applications COM
ing in all the time. In addition to
serving the American veteran, the
Paris post is striving to strengthen the
bond between France and America
through the younger generation of
Paris by offering yearly prizes for the
best essay written by any boy or girl
in a Paris lycee on a subject which
connects the history of France and
America.

FLYING FOX Is REALLY A BAT
Pest of Australian Fruit Growers Has
Been So CIassed by Scientist
Who Studied 1t.

The flying fox is really a bat of evil
reputation. 1t is more properly called
the fruit-eating bat or fruit bat and
the Australian fruit growers have long
waged war on it, though so far with
out much success.
Prof. Moseley observed them in the
Australian bush and described how,
sin dense piece of bush, consisting
principally of young trees, the trees
were hung all over with these bats,
looking like great black fruits. AS we
approached" he says in an exchange,
"the bats showed signs of uneasiness,
and after the first shot were rather
difficult to approach, moving from be-
fore us and pitching in a fresh tree
some distance ahead. The bats uttered
a curious cackling sound when dis
turbed. They were in enormous num-
bers, and although thousands had
been shot not long before by a large
party got together for the purpose,
their numbers were not perceptibly re-
duced."
In Malaga the fruit bat is considered
a great delicacy, and, cooked with
plenty of spices and condiments, is
said to taste something like hare.
'.Flying fox" is really a very good
name for them, for the head is ex-
ceedingly like that Of fox. Some ex-
traordinary flights of them, always in
single file, have been observed over
Calcutta.

Proper Shade for the Ewes

While better working conditions can
be attained by properly shading and
installing the lamp, much can be ac-
complished by shading the eye. But
like lamp shades, eye shades may be
good and bad. To the latter class
belongs the curved, opaque shade with
its edge made conspicuous in the field
of view by dark lining. Such
shade, acting as a. dsstracting object
not only disturbs the adjustment of
the eye, but by darkening the upper
half of the field of view causes glare
on working surfaces on which there
is no glare and increases the glare on
surfaces on which glare is already
present, medical men assert.

ENDOWMENT FUND PLANNED

busy helping former vets who were

securing employment and helping the

AMERICAN
LEGION
Copy for This Department Supplied by

TO CHEER DISABLED HEROES
All Legion Rosts to Join in Campaign
to Aid World War Men in
Hospitals.

More than 100000 men in almost
10000 American Legion posts in all
parts Of the United States and its pos
sessions have been enlisted in cam
paign to make life more worth living
to some 10000 sick and disabled
heroes of the World war who still are
patients In government and private
hospitals and to humanize all .activi-
ties that enter into their care and
treatment. Government bureaus at
Washington have supplied the Legion
with lists of these hospitals, about
1,2O0 in number, and the number of
ex-service men who are patients In
each. The country has been districted
according to Legion membership and
each of the five national vice COM
manders of the Legion has been as
signed to supervise the work Of Lee
gion posts, committees and individuals
in various states. A plan to take
census Of all ex-service men, especial
ly those still in hospitals, and straight
en- out their compensation and insur-
ance claims, is included in the general
program. The full weight of the wom-
ems auxiliary of the Legion will also
be thrown behind, the movement and
the assistance of all loyal Americans
is being asked for and gladly accepted.
"These men in hospitals are our
first concern" F. w. Galbraith, Jr.,
national commander Of the Legion,
said recently, "and the situation with
regard to them is far from satisfac-
tory. They are coming to believe, and
justly to a large extent, that their
country has forgotten them. Their
greatest need is friendly handclasp,
cheerful smile and an unqualified and
oft-repeated demonstration that we
have not forgotten them and will
never forget them while God gives us
strength to stand four-square with
and behind them so long as they need
our help. It's not our job alone-it's
everybody's job-but it's just little
closer to the hearts of men and wom-
en- Of the Legion"
The Legion takes the position that
the manned World war heroes repre-
sent Americas fundamental obligation
and thau the Legion, backed by the
full weight of sound public opinion,
can make conditions with regard to
them as nearly perfect as human
agencies will permit.

Four more states adopted referen-
