an indication that American morals
are not to be measured by the stand

The little muscles which close the
jaw are acted upon by the cold IN such
way that they pull the jaw up ana

This, repeated many times, causes

aided Grover @. Bergdoll, notorious
Stacker, In his escape from Canada to
Germany, according to Lemuel Bolles,

have obtained his passport In Winni-

ton and the army discharge papers OF
a Legionnaire.
Mr.. Bolles has appealed to the De-
partment Of Justice to ascertain the
facts In the case and proposes, II the
report Is true, to see that the man
Is apprehended, expelled from the Le-
gion and brought to speedy trial.
Bergdoll has been the target Of nu-
merous attacks Of the American Les
glon. When he escaped" from prison
reward Of $500 was offered for his
capture and number of Legion posts
In many parts Of the country took
similar action to bring about his cap

Visits to each Cincinnati hospital
where veterans are lodged are made
at least twice a month by the hospital
entertainment committee. which notes
the general condition of the hospitals
and provides entertainments for the
patients.
The sick committee visits all ex-serv-
Ice men in their homes as soon rs the
cases are brought to the attention of
the post members.
A free employment bureau for oil
veterans is operated at post headquar-
ters by the employment committee.
The Women's Auxiliary of the post
has assumed large share Of the work.
This organization has general chair
man of hospital work with a sub-chair-
man for each hospital.
At the General hospital complete
| dinner is set once month. Cigarettes,
| candy, fruit and cakes are provided
weekly ut all hospitals. as are maya
zines and books. At Rockhill the men
were supplied with piano and victrola,
a motion picture protector, knitting
machines, pajamas, sweaters, caps,
socks and other comforts. The AuXil-
larry women have made sheets, pillows
and bed sacks for the patients. Each
null 10 interviewer at eiCu WISH tthi
personal favOrs are executed whenever
possible.
For the benefit Of those men who are
vocationally handicapped the Auxiliary
conducts shop in the post club rooms
where disabled men are employed In
the manufacture Of wicker. bead and
mat work. The articles are marketed
by the women and the proceeds are
turned over to the veterans.
All caskets Of ex-service men pass

rated by the Legion women. Families
Of Cincinnati men who died In the serv-
Ice are visited and sympathy extended.
