SEEK NAMES OF NEXT OF KIN
Community Posts to Ascertain Ad-
dresses Of Those Expecting Bodies
to Be Gent Home.

While the American Legion IL try
war depa rtment to assist In assuring
relatives of prompt notification follow
ing the arrival of remains Of Americas
soldier dead from overseas, word has
reached national headquarters of the
Legion that a body OF one of these
HObOken pier for nearly a week with
the next Of kin totally Ignorant of Its
arrival.
According to members OF a Legion
post In the fallen soldiers home COM
munity, no notification OF the body's
war department. The Legi0nnaires, 1t
In said, learned OF the case through
Indirect channels and telegraphed de-
partment headquarters OF the Legion
In New York city, which arranged for
shipment Of the body to Its final rest
ing place. The Legion post took
charge OF the funeral and the remains
were inferred with appropriate mill
tary honors.
when the plan to return certain
bodies from overseas was first IN
nounced, the American Legion endesv-
ored 10 make arrangements with the
Wal department to receive notification
Of shipment I'm order that national
headquarters OF the Legion might
write direct to the next OF kin and Of
fer the services of the local posts In
assisting with the funeral arrange
ments In case relatives desired this.
But the government officials decided
they could not give out this informa-
ton and compromised with an ofYer Ia
circular1ze the next OF kin TO the ef-
feet that the Legion would be glad Ia
cooperate In extending honor TO the
memory Of these heroes.
In a bulletin forwarded to each Of
the more than 600 Legion posts
throughout the United States. Lemuel
Bollcs. national adjutant. asks these
community posts 10 ascertain the
names of men of their respective To-
~calities who died overseas and whose
bodies are being returned. and notify
Legion national headquarters of the
names aud addresses OF the mex OF
kin. in order that II may take steps 10
prevent. n possible. a recurrence OF
an incident such as that recently re-
ported from New York.
News dispatches say that In certain
rases it has been impossible TO locate
the next of kin after a body has ar
rived, and the government has inferred
such remains IN one of the national
cemeteries. The Legion has offered
all it, resources 10 the war department
to assist In preventing blunders OF this
kind.

II is a well recognized fact that the

extremes Of temperature which the
hood has to undergo. 1t Is a very good
plan to wipe of the hood when you

Wear and Tear.

1t is a good idea to shift the cross

Move them so that they do moi depend
on the same link Of the main chain

the chain center at the links to which
the cross chains are fastened is On
siderable. and by moving from time to
time the wear Is distributed.

increases a greater urea of the cone

Rioidity Sustained.
Each Of the cells-the number OF

the air to escape slowly. thus sustain

needed. As the compressed section re-
gains Its normal shape fresh air is
drawn in, and thus the tire Is venti-
lated and cooled In warmest weather.
OF Great Advantage.
One section of the tire might be
damaged without throwing the remain
der out Of commission. This would be
a great advantage in military vehicles,

been at work with mechanical en-

facture ~perfecting the design Of the
cells that the proper strength and
thickness Of the wall might be accu-
rately figured out. He has now com
pleted the molds that are necessary
for making the tire.

JOSEF LHEvINNE'S RECITAL.
Pianist Has Made Progress In De-
partment of Tone.

Josef Lhevinne, pianist, who has
long been known TO local concertgoers,
gave his first recital of the current sea-
son yesterday afternoon in Carnegie
Hall. IT was refreshing to hear a real
professional pianist after the amateurs
who have thus far disturbed the autumn
peace. Mr.. Lhevinne is at least a
virtuoso and seems likely to remain e-le
TO the end.
He has s:riven to rise above his own
level and in some of his performances.
as in that of LISTS transcription of
Gretchen am Spinnrade" yesterday. he
sets forth readings which have distinct
ness of plan and fine graduation of de-
tails to commend them. Mr.. Lhevinne
has made much progress in the depart
ment of tone. He formerly knew no
pianissimo and rejoiced necessarily in
thunders of sorority. But he has now
wide range of dynamics, which he uses
with nice Judgment.
But owing TO an unyielding position of
the hand his tone is still wanting In
mellowness and singing quality For
this reason, as well as for certain
faintness of Imagination. this pianist
fingers within the realm of virtuosity
and does not cross into the land of in
depreciation. He played Weber's a flat
sonata yesterday without for a moment
suggesting the waving plumes and
prancing steeds of chivalry which make
so brave a show in the composers pages.
