captain on the battlefield and was Sc
verely wounded in action at Juvigny,
France. while serving with the Thirty
second division. In Walter Reed hos
pital, Washington, for more than a
year, he found out what the govern
ment intended to do for the wounded
by studying plans and legislation con-
cerning the subject. Discharged from
the hospital last fall, he was made a
special representative OF the bureau OF
war risk insurance.
In army and navy camps he was in
strumental, through the American Le-
giOn, in causing the reinstatement or
conversion of $5,000000 in war risk
insurance. In Michigan last Novem-
ber, as field representative OF the war
risk bureau, he directed a cleanup Of
hospital, insurance and compensation
claims that placed the state ahead of
all others in welfare accomplishments.
During the campaign he investigat-
ed the condition of ex-service men in
the state prison at Jackson and the
insane asylum in Kalamazoo. He
worked with the Legion's welfare de-
partment to cause the parole of 80
men last year to the Legion. He OBJ
tanned 100000 in funds raised during
the war and used it in settling claims,
relief of the disabled and their de-
pendents and in untangltng insurance
difficulties and remedying hospital con-
ditionS.
Mr. Ham is twenty-eight years old.
Coming out of high school, he entered
the United States navy as an appren-
tice seaman. He served four years on
the Z. S. S. Idaho and was discharged
as a quartermaster. second class. He
then became a motor and traffic police
man in Grand Rapids, Mich. In 1916,
he went to the Mexican border as a
first sergeant in the Michigan infan-
try. Before he entered the lines in
France, he was assistant provost mar
shall at ST. Nazaire, as a first Heuten-
ant. Before the battle IN which he
was wounded, he had served in three
Offensives.

POST GETS ARTISTIC RANGE
Chicago Organization Acquires Use of
Famous Worlds Fair Field
Museum Building

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 1898
Worlds Fair. The crack of army
rifles viii be heard in the famous
structure, for it has been turned over
to the Hyde Park post, No. 81, 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.

besieged tie park commissioners for
permission to Use 2Re building, but

de luxe, one that will tend to erase
the veterans memories of sweltering
days. shivering days and cold, moist
days sDene in trying to locate the
bullseye on the agmy's outdoor fir

that a 2GO-yard range was esta0HShed
without difficulty, along with the

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Congress Appropriates 100000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.

Disabled heroes OF the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are fighting to regain
health in the hospitals of this coun-
try. Congress has appropriated in the
civil sundEy bill the sum of 100000
for the purchase of books. with the
result that each of the $4,000 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge of the libraries
in the larger hospitals, has been en-
barrassed by a shortage of funds, and
up to this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty of
supplying books to the disabled in
hundreds of the smaller hospitals. The
Appropriation by congress does not
1uean that either the services of the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect are to
be dispensed with, but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.

Mrs. Lelah L. Klein, national execu-

died the contest. One of the most
active workers for the Auxiliary in
her state, Mrs. Klein was educated in
Wellesley college and IL the New
England Conservatory of Music. Her
husband. who was a captain in the
medical corps. was gassed in the Ar
gonne-Meuse offensive.

DRIVERS CAN IMPROVE ROADS
by Driving over Middle and Other
Less Used Parts.

Drivers can prevent wear to the
surfaces of the roads and even i'm
prove their condition if instead or
driving In one track or on the edge
Of the road they viii drive over the
middle and other less used parts of
the road when traffic permits The
one thing that is fatal above all
things to road surfaces. whether dirt
or paved. is driving In tracks. which
subjects one small part Of the road
surface to all the traffic and damage
that the whole road accommodates
Traffic should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface Of the road,
and a little thoughdulness and care
in this respect on the part OF driv-
ers will do much to add to the per
manence and excellence Of our road
ways.

tempting yellow corn were spread be-
fore him. Guesses as to how many

BERLIN ACTION To
HELP i. S. TRADE
u. S. WILL RECEIVE GREATEST
BENEFITS AS RESULT OF
GERMANY'S SIGNING.
AMERICA WILL BENEFIT
Price of European Goods in Amerresn
Markets Will Rise as Exchange
Becomes EtabIe-AlIies Get
Fixed Income.

Washington.-The United States
will receive greater commercial bene-
fits than any other nation as a result
of Germany's acceptance of the allied
reparations programme.
a beneficial effect already is in evil
dence.
Germany will be able TO pay.
These were three outstanding asser-
tions made by Secretary OF Commerce
Hoover in commenting upon what ap-
pears to be the final chapter OF the
world war.
There has been a noticeable trend
toward stabilization Of foreign ex-
change since Berlin accepted the rep
arations terms, Mr.. Hoover pointed
out. AS a result he added the price of
American goods in European markets
IS going down and the price of Euro
pean goods in American markets is
going up.
This means, he explained, that the
United States will be able to compete
successfully with European goods in
European markets, while at the same
time competition with European goods
1t is only natural that the United
States should get the most favorable
and immediate results, Mr.. Hoover
stated, for the reason that the United
States was most adversely affected by
the unsettled exchange situation.
Another phase Of the reparations is
sue, Mr.. Hoover pointed out, is that
the allied nations now are certain of
a fixed income from Germany. This
will enable them to increase their pur-
chases abroad. and it is only natural
that the bulk Of these purchases
should be made in this country.
Up to this time the United States
has been unable to place and sell
goods abroad as extensively as it
should, because of the commercial de-
preston, said Mr.. Hoover, adding:
'It was this fundamental thing that
was undermining our export trade"
Asked if settlement of the repara-
tiOns issue would have any effect on
domestic prices, Mr.. Hoover expressed
the belief that any effect would be
neither direct nor immediate. Bur as
normal conditions are restored in ex-
port trade and production is resumed
on a large scale the Improvement
should ultimately be reflected in do
mestic prices, he believed.
Expressing his belief that the repair
ations demands are not beyond Ger
many's ability to pay. Mr.. Hoover said
one interesting phase Of the situation
has been generally overlooked. That
is that any payments must be made
by a surplus of German exports over
imports and that this difference must
be equal to the amount OF the pay
ment to the allies.
The prewar trade figures Of Ger
many show there is no doubt that Ger
many can male payments by reducing
all nOnessential imports to a minimum,
in the opinion of Mr.. Hoover. If this
is done, in addition to converting to
Industrial activity all the forces for
merly employed in the business of
war. there is little doubt that Germany
will be able to meet the allied de-
mands to the last mark, Mr.. Hoover
concluded

CREED OF THE DISABLED MAN
Afflicted Fellows of Washington, D. c.,
Post, Look on Brighter Side
of Things.

Disabled veterans of the World war,
nearly all of them overseas veterans
and members of the Walter Reed post
Of the American Legion in Washing
ton, d. c., have adopted what they
term, 1.-THE Greed of the Disabled
Man." which. called to the attention
Of President Harding upon a recent
visit to tlte hospital, was by the Press
ident prounced fine. The "creed"
reads af follows:
Once more to be useful-to see pity

with commendatiOn-to work, pro-
duce, provide and to feel that have

be no impact, regardless of the speed
or weight of load. Since such an ideal
condition Is practically impossible, road
engineers recognize that all factors
which increase or reduce the impact
of a load are of the utmost tmpOr-
tance in planning highway construc-
ton and regulation.
The placing OF the larger part Of
the load on the rear axle is only one or
several factors which lead to high i'm
pact forces. In general, the in
creased speed OF the truck viii in
crease the impact, hence the necessity
for keeping the operating speed within
reasonable limits. Roads kept as
smooth as possible by careful main
tenance will reduce the possibility Of
trucks exerting impact and pressure
forces upon the highway surface. CuSh-
ion or pneumatic tires also reduce
impact and cause less damage to
the highways than those Of hard
rubber, especially If the latter are not
kept in good repair.

REDUCING DAMAGE TO ROADS
Repair Bills Would Sc Greatly Less-
ened by Placing More Of Loads
Over Front Axle.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture
Repair bills for damaged roads
would be much reduced, engineers in
the bureau Of public roads report. after
extensive experimental work. if motor
trucks were designed 10 carry more
OF the loads put on them over the
front axle and less over the rear
wheels, as at present In the average
heavy truck OF today the body Is near
ly balanced on the rear axle. When
the truck strikes an obstacle OF an in
regularity in the highway. the damage
done TO the road surface by the rear
wheels is much greater than It would
be If the load were distributed on both
axleS.
Given perfectly smooth road sur
face, travelled by a truck with perfect
ly smooth circular tires. there would
