AMER. LEGION NOTES
- BOOST FOR THE LEGION" y
Headquarters Bulletins

Subject: Order of Legion Colors-
Special No. II. Question has frequent
.ly arisen as to the proper manner of
carrying the official cOlors of The Am
erican Legion or units thereof in pa
rades or on other official occasions.
For the purposes of this bulletin, an
official occasion is any occasion on
which the colors of a post or depart
ment of The American Legion are
publicly displayed.
The official Colors of The American
Legion are the national colors n the
blue post banner and white depart
ment banner furnished by National
Headquarters. No other banners are
official. These COlOrs should be car
ried in the name prescribed in the
several military regulations of he
United States; that is, the national
colors on the military right, and post
cOlors on the left. Men selected as
color bearers should appreciate fully
the great honor conferred upon them
and the COlOrs should always be fur
nished with a proper guard. h car
rying of other pagS, banners, plaCardS
or similar articles with the official col
Ors of The American Legion is a praC-
tice which cannot be too strongly con-
demned and one which undoubtedly
will never appeal to any post of The
American Legion or unit of the Wo-
mems Auxiliary 1t is earnestly rec
commended that the colors of The Am
erican Legion be treated upon all oc-
casions with the same respect and
courtesy in every sense which is ex-
tended to the official cOlors Of units
of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.

AS a booster for it's drive to bring
its enrolment up to 5000 members,
Memphis (Tenn.) Post has issued the
following verse:
If you think your Legion best, tell EN-
so!
If you'd have it lead the rest, help it
grow!
When there's anything to do
Let the others count on YOU.
You'll feel good right through and
through-don't you know!
If you're used to giving knocks,
change your style;
Throw bouquets instead of rocks for a
while.
Let the other fellow roast,
Shun him as you would a ghost,
Meet his banter with a boast-and a
smile!
When a soldier from afar comes along
Tell him who and what you arG-make
it strong!
Never fiatter, never bluff,
Tell the truth, for that's enough.
Be q BOOster-that's the stuff-DOn't
Just Belong!

"In Our Hands, Is Right

Residents of Little Falls, N. Y,
awoke one morning recently to find a
B%olshevist pamphlet signed "Anarch-
list Group of the United States and
Canada" on their doorsteps. The red
paper, advocating the overthrow of the
Government and bitterly attacking the
American Legion for it's patriotic work
bore the caption "All is in Our Hands"
With the chief of police of the city the
Legion made a prompt search for he
distributor of the pamphlet and in a
few hours landed him behind the bars
and had obtained a signed confession
of his guilt.

OFFER NEW STREET CLEANER.

James salisbury. representing the
Pneumatic Conveyor Co. yesterday SUBJ
mitted 20 the Street and Sewer Direc-
tors a letter containing the company's
offer made verbally last week with re-
gard to the street cleaning machine
it wants 10 have the city install. The
proposition was not discussed by the
members as they had not had an OPP
portunity to go over the proposition
but expect TO do so later and then de-
eide whether they want to have one
of the machines installed.
The cleaner is practically an enorm-
Gus vacuum cleaner to be applied to
the streets the same as a sweeper is
used in a home. The company claims
that the city, by using it, show a saw
ing of at least fifty per cent over the
present method of cleaning the streets
by hand. 1t is further claimed that
If il is used for the removal of ashes
a still greater saving can be shown
They have agreed TO let the city pay
for the cleaner out of the savings they
say it viii show over the present sys-
tenn. The cost of the sweeper is s2O.-
900.
The company's machine is fitted with
over an ash barrel standing along the
suction attachments which, If placed
curb, suck up the ashes into tank
in a few seconds. This eliminates the
work of tossing the barrel into a cart,
dumping it and then throwing it back
upon the sidewalk. 1t sucks up dirt
from the street at the rate of 100000
square yards in eight hours, it is
claimed.

PREFERS DEATH TO
HAVING TO WORK
Alice Smith, Aged is Years,
Swallows Almost Fatal
Dose of Poison.

prefcrring death 10 having To
work. Alice Smith, aged Is years
of 1I1a Railroad avenue. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Smith. last
night swallowed poison In a supposed
attempt at suicide while she was
standing on the lawn In front of st
Joseph's Catholic Home for Coiored
Children at Eleventh and French
streets. A man passing at the time
saw the child lift a bottle to her lips
and then fall unconscious to the
ground. He notified Reserve Officers
Reilly and McAleer at the police pa
troll station and they hurried the girl
To the Delaware Hospital in an am
bulance. There she was revived and
this morning was pronounced out of
danger. AT the hospital she IL said
TO be the youngest patient they have
ever had there under treatment in
connection with supposed suicide
attempt.
Alice has been employed at Topkis
Brothers factory. mt Third and
French streets, and her parents, while
not possessing great wealth are said To
have lavishcd everything they could
upon the child. The father has been
hard pressed and the girls services
as VIZ ge Garner were badly needed
and she was repeatedly asked to go TO
work. She did have several posi-
tions. but is said TO have quit all of
them because she was opposed to
working.
About two weeks ago employment I'm
the Topkis plant was secured for her
and she told her mother then, a rela-
tive stated this morning. that che
would not work She has been suf-
fering from sore ankle, which she
frequently bathed with iodine and she
is alleged to have declared To her
mother that rather than work she
would drink some of the poison. This
was considered an idle threat on the
part of child who wanted her own
way and no attention was paid TO IL
at the time.
Yesterday Alice went to work aa
usual. but did not return home at
the regular time last evening. When
II grew dark and she had not appeared
her parents became alarmed and
started a search They even went
as far as Shellpot Park, but could
find no trace OF the girl. They knew
nothing % their daughters presence
in the hospital until early this morn
