WOULD PROBE LEGION CLAIMS
International Association Of Rotary
Clubs, Shocked at Reports, Orders
Nationwide Survey.

Aroused by charges Of the Ameri-
can Legion that the government has
failed in it's duty toward disabled vet
Grams Of the World war, the board of
directors Of the International Assocla-
ton Of Rotary ClYbs has ordered a
nationwide survey of the situation
ito prove whether American Legion
reports are based on hysteria or upon
actual facts"
The Rotary organization has in
dorsed the Legion's consolidation pro-
gram for the relief to the disabled
and will support the Legion's efforts
to obtain its enactment into law, &C.
cording to Chesley H. Perry of Chi
cago, encouragement of the Rotary
clubs organizations.
"The $4,000 American business and
professional men who form the 800
Rotary clubs of the United States,
have started out to gather the actual
facts in their respective communities
with regard to the manner in which
the United States government is
diers," Mr.. Perry stated in letter to
f. w. Galbraith, Jr., commander Of
the Legion.
"The Rotarians have been shocked
by the disclosures made by the Ameri-
can Legion regarding the circum-
stances surrounding the rehabilitation
Of Uncle Sans disabled ex-service
men. Each Rotary club is appointing
a special committee to investigate
conditions in it's community and re-
port to the club. Every club will then
report to the headquarters office of.
Rotary in Chicago. The result will be
that from 800 communities in every
part of the United States will come
evidence of business ard professional
men to prove to the American people
whether or not the American Legion
reports are based on hysteria or upon
actual facts so revolving and heart
rending as to cause the whole Ameri-
can people to rise in their might and
do justice to the men who sacrificed
themselves for their country"
The LegioE's national commander
asserted that his organization will
welcome the Rotary investigation.
81 hope it's findings will be given
the widest publicity" he said. sit
will be found that the Legion has not
overstated the case in any particular"

FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES
count of Higher Percentage Of
Moisture in Former.

From the standpoint of feeding
value for dairy cows, it may be said
that potatoes rank below good corn
silage. The latter contains about &c
per cent dry matter and the former,
about q per cent The chemical COM
position of raw potatoes and corn
silage is very similar. Both contain
about / per cent of digestible protein
and between 16 and II per cent of d.
gestible carbohydrates and fats, but
potatoes contain somewhat more mois-
ture than well-cured corn silage. Po-
tatoes at SO cents a bushel would
cost So ton, whereas silage is worth
less than one-half that price under
present conditions.

FIX GLASSES ON HEADLIGHTS
Vibration of Car May Cause Loose
ness of Lens and Allow II to
Creep Out of Position.

Many of the light diffusing devices
now popular are designed TO operate
when in a certain fixed position. Vi
bration may loosen the glasses in their
rims so that the whole lens creeps
around and the diffusing properties
are lost. Some of these glasses have
a means of anchoring them firmly in
place. but others have not, and 1t is
up to the car owner to see that they
are properly in place. Screws may be
used for fastening them and lock
washer should be inserted under each
of them.

Press Women Are Interested.

The Womens Press club of New
York city has become interested in
American Legion welfare work and
has adopted a ward at Fox Hills hos
pital, Staten Island, New York, con-
tanning 65 disabled veterans. The
clubs committee visits the hospital
twice a week supplying the men with
articles of clothing, tobacco and
reading matter. An idea sponsored by
the club of providing "gardenettes"
or window boxes for the various hos
pitfalls where ex-service men are be-
ing treated has become popular with
relief organizations. The school chill
dren of Leonia. n. j., collected funds
and bought window box for the hos
pital.

from some farmers in another COM

rectors appointed committee to re-
ceive them and show them around.
"Thus this piece of business was
provided for, and placed in the hands

search for some one to whom he could

HoWlinq DOGS Appreciated.

Persians love dogs because they are
supposed to lie awake nights and drive
away the demons that wait for the
souls of the dead. so the more the dog
bowls at night the surer he Is to de-
feat the demons and the more he is
appreciated by his owner.

about 10 inches in length, and a notch
cut in one end as shown to fit the
under side Of the wheel-hub. This
is then bored for a one-quarter-incl
bolt an inch from the other end and
holes to match drilled through each
side of the jack at height which
will place the bottom Of the notch on
level with point about the center
Of the wheel-hub.
How Jack Is Used.
The illustration shows how the Jack
is used. The first position shows the
feet of the jack placed tight against
the tire with the notch Of the wood
block against the under side of the
wheel. When the top of the jack is
pushed in toward the wheel, the ac-
ton raises the wheel about two inches
and transfers the weight from the tire
to the hub. The feet afford sufficient
bearing to enable the car to stand
rigidly when four jacks have been
applied and remove all possibility of
its shifting to one side and back to
the floor.-Dale Van Horn in Popular
Science Monthly.
