NEW DANGER SIGNALS FOR
UNION PACIFIC

Railway crossings along the Union
Pacific in Kansas may have a novel
form of danger signals if the idea
promulgated by G. D. Brophy, super
intendent of the Kansas division OF
the Union Pacific, is carried out 1t
is a red glass signal placed on post
at each crossing SO the light from an
automobile headlight will reflect a
glaring red light toward the car to
give the driver sure warning that
railway crossing is not far ahead
The signal would throw light from
each direction
Mr. Brophy was in Topeka last
night demonstrating the novel signal
to the Union Pacific officials to see
if they approved of it. He also was
in conference with NJ. W. Matson,
state highway engineer
The signal which is only a checked
red glass eight inches square, IS CIV
ing satisfaction in other states

AMERICAN LEGION
q

Topeka, Kansas-With the estab-
fishing of a new Post of the Ameri-
can Legion at Oakley, Kansas in Lo-
gan County, the state is now one hum
dred percent organized by counties.
Each of the one hundred five coun-
ties now contain one or more of the
three hundred forty Kansas Posts,
making a very definite and thorough
network with which to function. The
recent plan to locate the new county
memorial at Oakley assured the per-
n1anency of this last Post organized
in Kansas.
t'The duty of the nation to its de-
Tenders will remain burden on the
public conscience until that duty is
fulfilled, says an editorial in the cur
rent issue of the American Legion
Weekly anent the recent action of
Congress in reeommitting the adj
justed compensation bill at behest of
President Harding. It has been
| pointed out that Great Britain, Can
ada, New Zealand, Australia, France,
Belgium, Italy-au have adopted
compensation measures. Only Amer
| lea has not regarded the economic re-
| Mobilization of it's ex-service men as
| a primary step in national stabiliza-
| ton.
The Missouri Legislature, realizing
the tremendous Importance of the pro-
posed visit of interna tionaI and ma
| tiona1 notab1es at the coming Nation
al Convention of the American Legion
in Kansas City this fall, has set aside
a fund of $7,5oOoo for entertaining
| MashalI Foch of France, Marshal
Haig of England, President Harding,
or his representative, and other offic-
| ia1s of world prominence. The dis
tingu1shed guests are expected to- Of
| ficiate at the dedication of the So ,OOe,-
900 Liberty Memorial Building in
Kansas City just following the Amer
| lean Legion parade.
When the flag belonging to the
Rainbow Division boys of Chanute
was sent home it was found to be in a
very tattered and worn condition
The Women's Auxiliary of the Ameri-
| can Legion immedia teIy set about
mending the flag and recently pre-
scented it intact to the Rainbow Vet
| Grams of Chanute. To repair the flag
| it was necessary to replace all the
white stripes. Through efforts of the
Auxiliary Unit, a piece of the flag
and copy of its history will be placed
in the Memorial Building, Topeka
