Driving on the wrong side of the road, making no attempt to apply brakes to prevent a collision, this dust madden ed De Palma drove slap bang into a car coming toward him. One of his regrets must be that he did not keep moving, for the occupant of the car which was on the right side of the road pro- ceeded to trace his ancestry from the day that his fore bears hung from trees by the tail. In conclusion, a few remarks as to the proper home in which he should be confined were passed.

The American Legion will soon have the use of a building known to mil lions in America as the embodiment of beauty in art and architecture, the old Fine Arts building of the 1893 Worlds Fair. The crack of army rifles will be heard in the famous structure, for it has been turned over to the Hyde Park post, No. 34, of the Legion in Chicago. as an indoor rifle range.
 The large edifice, known as the old Field museum after the Worlds fair, was evacuated with the completion of the new Field museum. Various or ganizations of Chicago Immediately besieged the park commissioners for permission to use the building, but the Legion posts request alone was granted
 Legionnaires now have rife range de luxe, one that will tend to erase the veterans memories of sweltering days, shiverinA days and cold. moist days spent in trying to locate the bullseye -on the. army's outdoor firz ing points. The building is so large that 200-yard range was established without difficulty, along with the shorter distances.
