rhe fire department motor apparatus, hook and ladder truck. chemical and lose wagon. and hose wagon, have been given e general overhauling and are now Ia fully as good condition as when first received. The apparatus is not of staii- dard type, are practically assembled rna- chines. but serve the purpose in the West triy fire district, which is in tho terri torlal limits of the village of Westerly. They are not subjected to hard usage and have rendered satisfactory service.
 Chief Egger recently discovered that the reserve steam fire engine had passed beyond repair and, so it is said, proposes to recommend the purchase of q triple combination apparatus of the American La France of Seagraves type. With one Of these machines the efficiency of the department would be increased, according 10 the chief. and Westerly would then be in position to render aid in emergencies beyond tho limits of the Westerly fire district.

American Legion
Securing Vocational
Education, Disabled

Augusta, Me-, Dec. 23-Colonel
Albert Greenlaw, commander Of the
Department of Maine, American Le-
gion, has received memorandum
from National Headquarters, through
National Adjutant Lemuel Bolles of
Indianapolis, Ind, relative to "voca-
tional Education" which says:
The Cleveland convention urged
the closest cooperation between the
Legion and the government agencies
dealing with the disabled. 1t is the
desire OF the National Commander
that the claim Of every disabled serv-
ice man be cleared up as the first
order of business, even to the ex-
clusion of other matters.
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education Is most anxious to clear
up all of its claims now pending and
to complete its program of rehabili-
tation in complete cooperation with
the Legion. To accomplish this end,
the Federal Board has created in
each of its district offices a Depart
ment of Cooperation, which is in
charge Of an ex-service man who is
a Legionnaire. 1t is his duty to es-
tablish the closest liaison with The
American Legion and through direct
contact with the local post assist the

ADJUSTMENTS
INA CLAIRE WILL
REPEAT BIGGEST
HIT OF CAREER

How Ina Claire, starring as every
one knows the principal part Of cur
rent Broadway stage success, has
found time to repeat her portrayal of
the celebrated title part of Polly
With a Past" is one of Iifes and the
theatres mysteries.
But obviously it has been accom-
plished, for Manager Appleby of the
Colonial theatre announces that the
picture presentation of the Belasco
stage hit will be seen at the cozy
house today. This overcomes one of
the public's objections to Miss Claire;
that her popularity in New York pre-
cluded her appearance elsewhere,
either personally or on the screen.
The story Of Polly and the method
of her acquisition of past is one that
pleased theatre-goers for long and
sensational season and brought Ina
Claire long and sensational promi-
nence. 1t is of girl who for certain
reasons. and for a certain young man,
took or spicy reputation and then
there was the real hitch-had to live
up to it.
The screen version of Polly With a
Past" is a Metro Offering and one of
the biggest and most enjoyable ever
given at the Colonial.
To complete the bill-if anything
more were actually needed-Manager
Appleby today is Offering the 18th cpl
sode of THE Yelled Mystery" with
Antonio Moreno and the Paramount

uary term, 1920, and was sentenced

than four years for larceny from the
Maine Savings Bank at Portland. In
his petition Dingley submits that
his punishment has been sufficient
for his crime, that the ends of JUS
tice have been subserved and that

and Of himself would best be pro-
NOTED by permitting him to enter

which is now offered him provided

Legion in it's work for the disabled.
From experience, it has been found
that most satisfactory results can be
obtained by direct personal contact
with the disabled man by another ex-
service man in his own community.
This is where the Legion can help:
1. BY advising the disabled men Of
their rights to vocational training and
assisting them in obtaining deci-
sion of their eligibility to it.
2. BY encouraging the disabled to
take training when eligible.
3. BY giving counsel and advice to
the men taking training and assist
ing them in the settlements of mis-
understandings between the trainees
and the board.
4. BY assisting in seeing that
proper training facilities are provided
for disabled men still In hospitals
and by encouraging these men to
take up the training afforded.
In view of this. it is urged that the
closest liaison be maintained between
local posts and the representatives OF
the Federal Board. II is suggested

that the claims Of the disabled can be
more expeditiously handled by direct
communication between the local
post and district Office of the board,
and this policy is recommended by
National Headquarters.
Should any misunderstanding or
complaint arise regarding the activ-
tiles Of the Federal Board. the mat
ter should be taken up with the dis
trict officer Of the board in charge of
cooperation, and if a satisfactory
settlement cannot be reached, the
entire matter should be referred to
