WHAT THE AMERICAN
 LEGION IS DOING

"For Sale-My body and soul for a chance to work. I was wounded in France"
 The advertisement in local news paper brought the population of Louisville, Ky, face to face with the plight of disabled and unemployed veterans. The soldier, Fred c. Rainier, of Birmingham, Ala, twice wounded while serving with the Rainbow Divi- sion, was taken in charge by his com- rades in Louisville posts of the Amer ican Legion.

 Creation of sentiment to cause the holding of the annual motor speed way race on July instead of on Memorial Day has been started by posts of the American Legion in In- dianapolis, Ind, where the intena- tional automobile classic was staged on May 30. More than 130,000 per sons from all parts of the United States attended the race on day, which the Legion sets forth, should be observed in a reverent and decorous manner.
 Seventeen posts of the American Legion and thirty-three units of it's Women's Auxiliary were chartered during the week ended June 4, Legion national headquarters has announced.
 Learning that blood transmission was necessary to save the life of Well ton A. Crawford, veteran of the World War, struck and seriously wounded by a street car in Jackson, Miss, the local post of the American Legion asked for volunteers from it's membership. Within few hours Legionnaires had responded and the transmission was completed. The vet eran will recover.
 "Your presence is desired at Police Headquarters"
 Former soldiers of Tampa, Fla, who received this notice signed by the chief of police lost no time in report ing. The chief, an enthusiastic mem- Der of the local post of the Ameri- can Legion, employed this unusual method to impress upon the ex-service men the needs of their post. More than 200 veterans were locked up in an office before the chief explained himself.
 Citizens of Robinson, H., are rally ing to the support of the American Legion post there which is endeaVor- ing to rescue deserted cemetery near the city. The Legion men found that three soldiers of the War of 1872 were buried in an abandoned plot. Mark CTS will be placed over the graves ot the long-forgotten veterans and the cemetery reclaimed from the wilder ness surrounding it for many years.
 Rows of white wooden crosses, replicas of those which mark the soil of France where American soldiers sleep, used in Madison, Wis.,, to adver- tise a Chinese relief drive, were re- moved upon the representations of the local American Legion post. The Legion members demonstrated their sympathy for the starving Chinese by subscribing to fund, but they re- against cheapenlng the sentiment attached to their buddies' graves.
 The only wearer of the Congression- al Medal of Honor in Oklahoma IS Harold L. Turner, adjutant of Porter post of the American Legion in Sem mole. MT. Turner captured fifty Ger mans and four machine guns by charging the nest single handed when his platoon had been reduced to four men near St. Etienne on October $, 1918, according to his official citation. He will be a guest of honor at the third annual national convention ot the Legion at Kansas City next fall.
 The American flag is henceforth to be draped about the caskets of all men dying in hospitals ln this country, as a result of confer ences between members of the Amer ican Legion's national legislative com mittee and the Surgeon General of the U. s.
