gram IS scheduled for drastic revision
in committee.
Representatives OF the legion met
here yesterday and decided the bill
which has been introduced should be
changed TO provide for an addition
10 the university hospital for the use
OF sick and disabled war veterans
of separate hospital. The revised
plan would offer more speedy aid
for the veterans and would be more
in keeping with the legislatures de-
sire for economy, il was decided. In
addtion H. B. Fell of Artlmore, state
commander of the legion, has been
notified the United States senate has
refused 10 authorize the war risk
bureau TO lease hospitals no, yet con-
structed, the original bill was drawn
on the understanding the government
would sign a lease on the proposed
Oklahoma hospital as soon as the APP
preparation for building 1t was made.
1t is reported that house and senate
committees to which the soldiers hos
pital bill has been referred are 6avor-
able to the change suggested by the
legion.
The proposed revision would pro-
vide for a new wing at the University
hospital for the exclusive use Of dis
abled veterans of the world war Pa
dents would be cared for by the state,
and the federal government would pay
the state So day for each patient.
The expense Of the addition would be
much less than that OF building a sepa-
rate institution it is advised, and the
maintenance cost also would be less.
The legion will ask that one floor of
the hospital be reserved for eX-service
men at once, TO accommodate some of
the men now outside The state. The
legislature also will be requested to
provide place for the treatment OF
tubercular veterans; I is estimated
there are thousand of these in Okla

FORGET ME NOT' DRIVE TODAY FUR VE TS
Tag Day Proceeds To Go. To Veterans Organiza-
 tion To Aid Disabled
 Men of State and Nation

Forget me-not day. is here. Every man and woman in the city will have an opportunity today to r>,- member in practical way the men who returned from the death conflict across the water maimed and broken in health. It is for disabled veterans. some of them will spend their third Christmas in a hospital, that the sale of tags will be made today.
 The local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war sponsors the drive. Due to economic conditions. disabled veterans find competition with men physically fit so keen that the maimed, the halt and the blind are forced into the dis card and must turn to their own or ganization for assistance. Through the nation wide drive today the or ganization hopes to raise enough to carry on it's work for the next five years.
 Fifty per cent of all money ob- tained In the drive here will be re- tained by the local chapter of the Disabled AmeKican Veterans of the World war. The remaining 50 per cent will be turned over to the na- tional organization to carry on the laudable work it has started to ob- tain legislation providing for better care of the disabled.
 The money collected is to be turned over to local bank, no individual or groups handling the returns.
 Never before have disabled mer asked for a cent from the public and all they ask now is a little boost in their fight to come back
 Some of the disabled men will spend their last Christmas in a hos pital this year. Some will be re- leased by death. and others will be ready to step out into a world of struggle to which they are almost strangers. And other thousands will remain helpless on their white beds Christmas after Christmas, depen- dent upon those they fought to save It is not only to alleviate to some extent the suffering of these hospita cases that the drive is being launched but there is the more urgent call oi | disabled men out of work and hun gry that must be answered at once. It is estimated there are 1900 diS- I abled veterans in the Salt River val. | ley who are in need of assistance a l this time. Officers of the local pos | are all contributing their services | without remuneration so that al money given to the cause will be ap | piled directly to the purpose foI l which it is intended.
