this policy he has built up Legion
Service bureau which handles one
thousand ex-service claims a month
and q department branch of the
American Legion News Service.
Early in 1921, when the Federal
board for vocational education pre-
pared TO send representatives to six
teen centers in the state to examine
disabled veterans, the authorities
were handicapped by q lack of pub
licity. Commander Vernon prepared
twenty thousand large posters and
placed them on every billboard in the
state. This was supplemented with
information TO every newspaper in re-
gard to where every disabled man
should report to receive compensation,
vocational training and medical treat
ment.
When an unexpected number Of
veterans enlisted for vocational train
ing. Mr. Vernon appealed to 10000
business men to place the men In their
establishments. The merchants and
manufacturers responded with . good
will and all the vocational students
were placed to good advantage.

Youngest Veteran of
World War is But II
BY e. M. THlERRY

~ 81 HS tIllEnhI
NEW YORK, May $3.50 many
boy stories about the youngest vet
eran Of the World War" have been
printed that l asked the American
Legion to settle officially Just who
Is the youngest.
Here Is the answer: Sergeant
Berne L. Wooley, Of Salt Lake City.
Sergeant Wooley Is ELEVEN,
YEARS OLD!
An exhaustive investigation COW
ering eight weeks was carried on
by the American Legion.
The records Of many youthful
vets were examined. For a time a
14-year-old soldier at Fort Riley,
Kas., was believed to have the
laurels.
But the investigation disclosed
that young Wooley was officially en-
listed in the United States Marine
Corps when he was Z. He was re-
Gently honorably discharged in Salt
Lake City after 4 years and 8 days
OF active service.
When Sergeant Wooley's four
brothers went to the recruiting sta
ton q week after America entered
the war, Berne accompanied them.
He made such an impassioned ap-
peal to be allowed to take on"
with his brothers that a compromise
was reached and he was permitted
to enlist in the recruiting division.
The name of Berne L. Wooley
went on the regular records. In
1890 a shift was made and he was
ordered to Denver for duty. Latei
he was stationed at San Francisco
marine headquarters.
In the meantime the boy had.
gained two stripes as corporal
over his original rating as a prf-
vate and later he got three stripes
as sergeant. Now, following his
honorable discharge he. is seeking
admission to the American Legion.
Sergeant Wooley's discharge GER
tificate shows that he is responsible
for more than 200 men joining the
marines! q

/ had a talk with the boss" about
savings. He told each one OF them
about his plans and his visions OF
the future and offered them q
chance to share In It.
The other day Firestone received
a letter from q former workman,
who had been Ill for several years.
He had spent a good deal Of money
trying to get well, but had $4,000
worth OF stock left. He still want.
ed Firestone's advice about his
business and personal affairs.
As the organization grew into the
Thousands It became impossible for
Ftrestone to talk to each employe
personally about thrift and stock.
holding, so an employees, stock plan
on o big scale was worked out.
Firestcne's Views.
Z The reception given the last stock
offer few days ago resulted in the
subscription Of every employe with.
IN u hours and an oversubscriptton
Of nearly so per cent. Of, the issue.
Commenting upon Il and the stock,
holding idea generally, Firestone
said:
zone OF the main ideas behind the
plan was to encourage the habit OF
thrift and savings. Most OF us do
not find It easy to save, and require
special tnducemerlt.
1.-THE Firestone stock plan offers
8 per cent. savings account in
combination with a good invest.
ment proposition.
1.-THE reception given the last is
sue is very significant. It indicates
that new habits Of thrift and in.
vestment are being formed.
EVERY successful business or
ganizatlon is built upon q founda.
ton, which is brought about by a
concentration of interest.
with his money as we'll as his
labor invested in a company the
employe is naturally inclined to
concentrate his energies and
thoughts upon that company's sue
cess.
ut means greater success for
him and prosperity for the concern
in which he is financially interest.
