In addition to the motion pictures he will also dis play large number of still pictures
 in the form of lantern slides. Fol- ldoing a tour of the United States. he expects to proceed to Europe and carry on the good Wofk or showing Alaska at her best. His plan of show ing Alaska only in her summer garb is a good one and should receive enr couragement from all Alaskans. The idea that Alaska is an ice burg covered region inhabited largely by polar bears and fur clad Eskimo and miners is still widely prevalent. in spite the generous advertising given the terri tory during The past few years by the magazines and newspapers. Very few indeed realize that Alaska in her sum- mer garb is a land of beauty and lux uriant vegetation, as well as land of homes and children, schools and churches. Before departing Mir. Thelin will take a large number of Pictures. covering the Nome section in detail.

Fellow members. do you know that the American Legion is in fair way to double itself this Summer? Fossil bly this has already been achieved as Legion Posts thruou. the whole coun- try were wiring Headquarters at h. dianapolis to the effect that the Every Member Ge. a Member plan of the late commander Col. Galbraith had been carried out with many extra memHkrs-in one case fivefold in" crease was enthusiastically recorded. and half million will have easily reached :he five million mark bv Oc- tober; If present indications persist it will he nearer six million.
 Think what this means! Six million votes cast solidly for or against an issue should just about decide it. Not only that but serious minded ci.- izens are beginning to know that this great and growing organization of men stands for the bes: that is in Amer lea. They realize that these men who offered their lives for the country are. not going to stand by and see it swal- lowed up either by the aristocracy or the proletariat.
 It's sure bet that the man who is willing to die for his country has the hest interests of that country at heart.
 The unity of six million men, jed in the flame of battle, and in the very flower of manhood is bound to wield a terrific influence on the future his tory of America. Collectively they can assail and defeat any evil force that can be arrayed against them. while every city. town. and hamlet in the limited States is the richer and safe. for it's American Legion Post.
 Amid the confusion of the recent Pueblo flood city officials turned to- ward the Legion for aid and out of chaos of wreckage and swirling waters care order. servicabie streets and re- lief for the stricken. Efficiently and systematically the boys fought for their stricken city as they had fought for their country on the fields of France. Pueblo is mighty proud of "her boys" but not more proud of them than Is every Legion Post In .he country. We hope-and believe, that eweFy emergency of every community shall produce It's Legion men bubbiins over with their wonderful enefxy to do rood.

 Six millions of us. Six millions of men whose fidelity to the nation has already been proven. Six millions of veterans not yet reached middle age who have sworn to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice. freedom and democracy. It Is beyond hAnan conjecture to con- ceive the good that we can do. It is for us to but to face toward the highest ideals of humanity and un-- swervinSly Garry On!"

The predicted times of high and low water will not always correspond with .he actual occurrence of the tides. as the water levels are often more de- pendent on wind than tide. For this reason no accurate prediction of the neigh. of water at high or low tide can begiven.

PHILADELPHIA. March 30.-Coach
Lawson Robertson Of the track team
is centering all his attention on the
dual meet with Harvard on April %
and the Relay Carnival on April 20
and 80.
With Bob Msxam, the Washington
fiier. out for the one mile relay team,
this quartette has very good chances
of retaining the title which they won
last year. Maxam, Eby and Brown
seem sure of their places with Lewis
and Rogers fighting 1t out for the
other place on the team.
This will be a very hard team to
beat as they should do close to 3
min. 20 sec. These men will most
likely compose the sprint medley re-
lay team for that race which takes
Windsor may replace Lewis or
Rogers in one of the furlong relays
while Lever will also run one OF these
relays IL he is in condition. In any
case, the sprint medley team will be
strong though not quite up to last
years team which won this event.

close on Friday of this week, that Is

very highest standards of track and

Right now Lamotte is a wonderful
fielder" says George. He is fast as
lightning. He can go either side with
equal skill and speed. He can come
in for those tantalizing slow ones the
bane of the shortstops life. He has
a fine throwing arm and can ride tn 9
runners as we'll as ever / could, and
I've been told was pretty good.
Il don't see any reason why he
shouldn't develop his hitting so that
he can play regularly. Look at Roger
Peckinpaugh, of the Yankees, for in
stance. He was a brilliant fielder the
first day he put on big league uni
form. but he was not a great hitter.
HE WORKED HARD At TASK.
But Peck worked hard at the task
of developing his batting. He was al
ways watching the good nitters as
they played against him or with him.
He gradually bettered his own work
at the plate until today he is one of
the most dangerous batsmen in the
league, especially in the pinches.
"Peckinpaugh has become a good
after by hard work. Any young
player can improve himself by hard

Down here the fans go into hys-

wonder how Ions Frank O'Rourke will
keep him of the team.
.GEAT AS TY COBB,
A Tampa fan grabbed a couple of
us war correspondents the other day
and this did he say to us:
"You fellersll be forgettin' all
about Ty Cobb one o. these days an
youIl be putin LaMotte up in them
headlines instead. He's right now
better in the field than any man on
he Washington team. or the Detroit
cam, either. Well back him against
my players in the big league when II
comes to fielding an he'll be hittin
the ball hard one o. these days, and

caps to him"
| LaMotte has a likeable personality
He is boyish and happy as a lark. He
likes to play baseball, too, which is q

others in the squad showed equa
ambition, their jobs would be fal
