Know Llttle Of Thelr city.

Many of the lifelong residents of
New York city know little Of the city's
rapidly expanding transportation sys-
ten. says the New York Sun. They
are acquainted with those minor sec
tions they use daily, but if they have
occasion to travel to unaccustomed
quarters they are as puzzled as the
stranger. 1t is usually the newcomer,
the resident of a few months or years,
who even pretends to know the sub
ways or the streets of any consider
able section of the town.

NEWS FOR VETERANS

There may be a series of mint 4.
bates throughout the country on the
soldiers bonus between officials of
the American Legion and the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
In. an open letter to the chamber of
commerce, the Legion, through its
natioal legislative committee, chal-
lenged that body to send its officials
lin any city in the country or in every
city in the country where there is a
hall available and an audience inter
ested."
You say that the adjusted com
pensation or bonus bill is not gener-
ally understood" says the Legion
challenge. "The American Legion is
willing and anxious to do its share in
making it understood and to abide by
the consequences. Is the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States like
minded, or is it determined to con-
tinue its pussyfoot campaign of
pamphleteering?
Explaining why 1.-The Legion was
asking the chamber of commerce to
take part in a nationwide joint de-
bate on adjusted compensation, or a
bonus for veterans of the World war,
John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman
of the national legislative committee
of the Legion said:
"The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, through resolutions
adopted at its last annual convention
at Atlantic City, April 27-29, went on
record as in favor of such construct
i've measures as may be directly cal
culated to enable ex-service men to
cultivate the soil, build homes, or OBJ
tain vocational education but as OPP
posed to a cash bonus Since that

damn fool he has just as much right
to say so as anyone else"
This, as expressed by the Rev. W.
T. McElveen, is the rock on which
he has split with the First Congrega-
tional church of Portland, Ore.
Profanity and roughness' was the
charge brought in a request from
church officials that he tender his re-
signation.
DR.. McElveen admits he was guilty
from the standpoint of the ultra
conservative church members on both
counts. But from the standpoint of
man trying to convey practical
Christianity in a way that would carry
effect, he considers himself guilty of
nothing except a fervent desire to
make good on his job.
1.-The issue is simply one of
method" said Dr. McElveen. ''Some
people like the milk and water way

Zone of the Charges made against
me is that l said someone was a damn

Vigorous protests against the pro-
posed vocational universities" plan
ned at four old army environments by
Colonel C. R. Forbes. director of the
Veterans bureau, are coming to ma
tional headquarters of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World Wa
from chapters in all parts of the
country. The most serious objection
of the disabled men, many of whom
are vocational students, is based or
their fear that by grouping vocationa
students in the proposed four uni
versities" the bureau will drag then
away from schools and lOcalitie:
where they have established home tie
or social ties.
If the new plan proposed by thu
/ bureau does not disturb men now il
training, but only affects new cases
! the protests may be somewhat les
vigorous, but at that most of the chap

idea. National headquarters officer
