Msteriai Called Lambs Fleece In Syria
Merely Went by Another Name :
In England.
Soap Sc, Ointment rs and Soc, Taleun Csc.

A certain young globe-trotter. pos.
sessed Of more money than brains, was
recently travelling In Syria. While
journeying through the interior he was
prevailed upon by one Of the sons Of
the prophet to purchase at very large
price "A quantity of what was described
as Syrian lambs fleece.
This, when he returned to London.
he sent to his tailor with orders to
line an overcOat with 1t. A few days
after ne called to try on the coat.
"You didn't send us quite enough
material, sir" remarked the tailor,
~and had to get some more to line
the sleeves"
"But," remarked the traveller in sur
prise, ats impossible to obtain that
fleece In England, it's only to be OBJ
tanned I'm Syria"
80 "NOt at all, sir" was the reply. "1n
England we call 1t rabbit skin."-Mon-

WHAT THEY DO WITH BONUS
Seventy Per Cont Of Minneapolis Men
Increase or Open New Saw
ings Accounts.

What do ex-service men do with
their bonus money received from the
various states2
Some persons opposed to handing
out cash to the men either by the
states or nation, give rs their greatest
argument that the beneficiares will
squander the money fOollshly Us soon
as they get 1t.
But the experience Of tho Wells
Dickey Trust company Of Minneapolis
which firm has been instrumental In
advancing $2,2G5,000 to ex-service men
through special arrangement with the
bonus board, completely overturns this
conjecture. Figures just compiled by
the cashier of the trust company show
that of the 1924 claims handled by
the bank for Minneapolis men, 20 per
cent of the men increased their own
accounts and &c per cent opened saw
ings accounts Mt once.

PLAN TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA
VIII Urge Congress to Make English
Language and American History
Compulsory In Schools.

Henry j. Ryan, who succeeded Ar
thur Woods as national director Of the
Americanism commission of the Amer
lean Legion, has announced definite
program Of Americanism activities
which Legion leaders believe will eff
fectively combat nnti-AInerican prOpa-
ganda ut its sources.
The plan includes sympathetic re-
ceptiOn to the immigrant and method
Of providing him with opportunities to
school himself In American ideas; i'm
provement Of immigration and natural
ization laws; measures to stop the cir
culation Of BOlshevist and l. w. w.
propaganda. and providing greater
chance for education I'm citizenship
among the adult native born.
The LegiOns campaign will start
with the school, which Is characterized
by Mr.. Ryan as the foundation Of char
acter building. mo greater problem
challenges the American peonle than
the school," said Mr.. Ryan. sweeping
changes must be made in our schools
or revolution and the destruction OF
America will be but matter of time
The school system of America, as con
stituted ut present, Is incapable of de
veloping the type Of intelligent citizen
ship which is the foundation Of a de
mOcracy, and without which human lib
erty has no champion. The change.
which the American Legion advocates
are, first, that English shall be the con
trolling language in all schools, and
second, that the study Of American his
tory and civics shall be made compul
sorry to all school pupils. TO accom-
plish these proposals the Legion vii
petition congress to formulate resO
luton recommending to state legisla
lures the passage Of statutes embody
ing these changes"

Love Of Pictures Universal,

Mankind has always loved pictures
Races, without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures
that moved, 1t did not have to wait
long 10 see whether 1t would die or
flourish. A dozen years ago the mo-
ton picture business. as we now know
It, did not exist. Today the Ameri-
can public supports 1880 moving pic
ture theaters, makes 5,OOO,OOO,OOO Wis

SojIed Bills Help Banks.

The fact that nearly all paper money
in circulation now Is badly worn and
soiled has been one of the reasons why
bank deposits have increased, says an
upstate banker who was in the city.
"People like to handle clean. crisp
bills" he said. "but are afraid OF the
torn, soiled ones. There is always the
chance of getting some disease. Small
checking accounts have increased a
good deal lately, and this Is undOubt-
eddy one of the reasons for 1t. When
new bills come In again the accounts
may become fewer. But once people
get the habit of using checks they gen.
erally stick to it."-New York Sun.

Blasts Hopes Of Politicians.

The Endorsement Of candidate for
political preferment by any Organiza-
ton of the American Legion in Illinois
will result IN disciplinary action for
the offending organization, 1t was de-
cided ut meeting Of the state execu-
tive committee of the Legion. The Hi
nois legionnaires further resolved that
we disapprove the use Of the name of
the American Legion or Of the prestige
OF Office or membership therein by any
person for the furtherance Of his per-
sOnal efforts to promote any political
candidacy or partisan principles"
