That the activities of the Nation al Bonus Drive Committee" arc detrimental to the interests of form, CT service men is the declaration o1 Charles G. Blakeslee, commander of the New York Department of the American Legion. The "Bonus Drive'' committee is soliciting one dollar from each veteran of the world war to be used, it is said, to finance a campaign for the passage of national bonus legislation in the new congress.
 .4The National Executive Commit tee of the Legion will meet in Wash ington at the time the senate con venes," Mir. Blakeslee said. 'It is amply capable in view of it's past record in this very matter to take care of any situation that may arise. 1t cannot be too strongly impressed upon Legion members that this Dol lar Contribution Plan will not aid the passage of the national bonus in any way but, on the contrary, may tend to arouse prejudice against the ex-service man by put ting him in a most unfavorable light with the general public. It is ab
  to carry on a drive for the passage of this bill"
 The speed up the publication of the list of draft deserters so that a national roundup of them be made, a committee of state adju- tants of the American Legion ap- pointed by F. w.. Galbraith, Jr, National Commander, will call upon Secretary of War Baker at Wash 1 ington. The Legion is interested in obtaining a definite date for publi- l cation to eliminate further delay.
 Another, and prior, Legion move in the stacker question is the bill now pending in Congress which ex- tends for three years the period | within which draft deserters may be punished, thereby preventing the statute of limitations from defeat ing the aims of justice.
 Seventeen American Legion men, members of the Ohio State Univer- sity football team, instilled the fight | ing spirit which enabled the Ohio team to defeat the University of l Illinois and win the championship of the Western Conference. The team, which is coached by Legion aire, also won over Wisconsin, | Michigan and Chicago. It scored fif- ty-eight points in conference games | against twenty for it's opponents. Of the first squad men, ten are Legionaires.

Live in Terror Of Snakes.

The natives of Martinique dread
snakes with a superstitious awe, and
many tales are told about them.
Froude. the English historian, in "The
English and the West indies" tells of
how, many years ago, four English
sailors started out TO scale two gigantic
cones 5000 feet high while they were
watched from their ships through a
telescope. Gradually they were seen
to fall from the cones height one by
one. No account Of what had befallen
them ever reached their ship. They
were supposed TO have been bitten by
the fer de lance, which had resented
and punished their intrusion into re-
gions where they had no business. The
legend Is probably born out of the
terror of the natives for this reptile.

For more than two years, since the
Russian revolution, Mr.. Gest had dreamed
Of securing Michel Fokine, creator Of the
Russian ballet, for the choreOgraphic
scenes and for the big ballet which he
planned for the bacchanalian revel. The
death Of the Car and the revolution,
made It necessary for FOkine to leave
Russia-sOmething that he had been IN
able TO do before. After months Of negO-
tiatfons. he accepted Mr.. Gest's cabled
offer to come to America.
The completed cost of the whole pro-
duCtion OF "AphrOdite" was. close to
$500 600 when completed. There are over
800 people In the company and the cast
is the most expensive ever assembled In
any production given in any legitimate
PLAYHOUSE in the world.
Costumes for "Aphrodite" were de-
signed in London by Percy Anderson,
and were supplemented by additional
costumes by Leon Bakst. There are
more than twelve hundred costumes utll-
lied in the production during the three
acts. It reOaires also the biggest staff
Of stage hands to work the scenes for
