They are:

MADE LEGION DRIVE SUCCESS
Dare Devil Louisiana Man Put Real
Thrills Into Campaign for
New Members. III

When Anthony Kelley was dis
charged from the navy in New Or
leans, La, he found the life of a land
lubber terribly devoid of thrill and
peril. He had been going to sea since
the age of fifteen and he missed the
excitement of stormy nights in the
dizzy heights Of the crows nest and
hafr-rais!ng trips on the ropes far
above the deck.
With the start of membership
campaign Of Rollin post Of the Ameri-
can Legion in New Orleans, Kelley
bl0ssomed out as professional dare
devil to assist his fellow Legionnaires
in attracting attention. He climbed q
flag pole atop the city hall. several
hundred feet above the pavement and
rocked back and forth trying to break
the pole. A net stretched below was
all that was between the daring I.e-
gionnaire and some exceedingly hard
terrain.
Kelley was unable to break the flag
pole, however. So he scaled an eight
een-story building and hung from the
coping by his toes. Film companies
rushed camera men to- take motion
pictures of the feat and the Legion
membership drive was a success.
"None Of it was as thrilling as the
four years and four months 1 was in
the war zone." Kelley declares. He

bers and to the state. In carrying out
this policy he has built up a Legion
Service bureau which handles one
thousand ex-service claims q month
and department branch of the
American Legion News Service.
Early in 1921, when the Federal
board for vocational education pre-
pared to send representatives to six
teen centers in the state to examine
disabled veterans, the authorities
were handicapped by lack Of pub
licity. Commander Vernon prepared
twenty thousand large posters and
placed them on every billboard in the
state. This was supplemented with
information to every newspaper In re-
gard to where every disabled man
should report to receive compensation,
vocational training and medical treat
ment.
When an unexpected number of
veterans enlisted for vocational train
ing. Mr.. Vernon appealed to 10000
business men to place the men in their
establishments. The merchants and
manufacturers responded with good
will and all the vocational students
we're placed to good advantage.

MERITED TRIBUTE TO LEGION
LesIie's Weekly EditoriaIly Honors
Brave Men Who Served In

'"The American Legion begins to look
like full-page composite photograph

itorial in Leslie's Weekly. 1T moves
with the weight Of the Battle Hymn
Of the Republic" and the levity Of
Yankee Doodle" with : ululant yell

is a token Of great trust, and the old
Roman legions, and other leglons Of
time, begin to look HE pop-glns. It
neither tries to roar with lions heart,
nor win a woman's-Quite different
from the pomaded mustaches Of Pots
dam. Its manners are quiet; it's men,
DRY is excellent; it's emotions are
strong, ard it Is prepared to roll az
the refractory elements In one bundle
and hang them on one hook.
without proclamation, an agita-
ton or unloosing pack of schemes,
it has created civil prestige to match
it's military splendor. Old soldiers Of
all ages and all lands are prone to
harp on one string, but the tramp of
the Legion is in time and tune with
all the chords of throbbing life. 1t Is
not merely handsome clay in uniform ;
but slnewed in manhood from It's toes
to its brains. It has that delightful
mixture of sense and spirit, Of power
and chivalry, Of shop and farm, which
tickles the popular taste. 1t neither
beats over its woes nor boasts Of its
prowess.
when the mighty military machine
dissolved in our citizenship the frag-
ments coalesced through the SYM
pathetic attraction of high purpose
for in defending the institutions Of
America the Legion learned how to
value them. Thus it possesses moral
prerogatlve to tread down lurking dis
loyalty. We are proud to be the faith
ers and mothers, cousins and aunts Of
the Legion. We shall sleep sound at
nights. And when the historian winds

Boy Hero Saves
Brothers Life

Denver. April 2S.-Johp Lobato,
years old. was saved from freezing to
death thru the heroism of his broth
er, Albert, 10. when the boys were
lost for four days in the blizzard
which ragged in the mountainous part
of southern Colorado early this week.
Huddled in a corner of deserted
cabin and unconscious from cold,
hunger and exposure, the boys were
found late yesterday by a searching
party which had been looking for
them since Sunday Johns feet were
badly frozen and Albert is in seri-
Gus condition.
Albert had wrapped his younger
brothers feet in n gunnysack. the
only thing of the kind he could find
in the cabin, and then lain on top
of the boy to prevent him from freez-
ing to death.
The boys lost their way Sunday
morning when they had been sent by
their father at Russell. a lumber
camp. eighteen miles from Blanca,
Colo, to round up some horses.
