Victory for the Legion.

The closing of the United States
public health service hospital for tu-
bercular ex-service men at Markle-
ton, Pa, by order Of Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Ewing Laporte.
is regarded by American Legion Off
Gals as a great victory for the *
service mems national policy in re-
gard to disabled veterans. This hos
pital was first denounced as an i'm
proper place for the treatment OF tu-
bercular ex-service men by f. w. Gal
braith. Jr., national commander OF the
American Legion, in a speech In Phil
adelphia last November. His stand
followed investigations
made by government authorities, and
a public appeal from SO tubercular
veterans being treated there.

Man Of Many Activities.

On August 5, 1886. there arrived in
Geneva, Switzerland. a man whose

In the system Of theology which is
called after him-John Calvin. He
was a native of Noyon, in Picardy,
who e~spoused the new religious belief
and had gone to the French capital,
but found it necessary to seek an
asylum abroad. He established not
only the Reformed church. but also
the state; he developed public in
struction, founded the Geneva acad-
envy, which became in those days the
leading school of Protestant theology,
with the gentle Beza. Calyin's devoted
friend, as its first rector. He worked
out civil and sumptuary laws, invest
ing old institutions with a simplicity
and austerity that attracted the at
tention and support of reformers In
ali countries. Geneva thus became
the stronghold of the reformed faith.

Although Mrs. Walker cannot quail

Its women's Auxiliary, she has been
q tireless worker for the cause which

MILLIONS FOR WAR MEMORIAL
Indiana Legislature Appropriately Near
iy 100000 for Legion Strue-
ture at State Capital.

A suitable national headquarters
building of the American Legion in
Indianapolis was assured with the pas
sage of three bills by the state legis-
lature, a%pprOpriating almost $1,000
600 for a war memorial structure,
which will house the Legion's main
Offices.
Five city blocks in the heart OF
Indianapolis will be used for the me-
mortal project. The building will be
erected in the middle block, with the
remaining plots transformed into a
magnificent city plaza. At one ex-
terror of the memorial site is located
the Federal POstOffice building, erect
ed at a cost of $6,OOO,OOO. Facing the
outer end of the plaza is the $1,000

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 difusing properties

a means Of anchoring them firmly In

used for fastening them and a lock

ing rooms are connected by a wide
open doorway. Leading from the liv-
ing room is a narrow hall which gives
access to the two bedrooms and
equipped with s~pace-saving garment
carriers which eliminate much of the
waste entailed by old Questioned
clothes closets. Each bedroom has
splendid ventilation facilities and win
windows on two sides. Moreover in
being separated from the living rooms
as they are, the people who wish to
sleep are not disturbed by the noise
from other parts of the house.

the very latest ideas of home building
in that it is small, compact but COM
plete in all details. The large awk-
ward kitchen has no place in the mod

work for the housewife because Of
their size. A small pantry is built OF
one corner of the kitchen. A modern
bathroom completes the floor plan ar

1t is obvious that an attractive home
like this will appeal to many families
who are planning on building a home
of their own, not only because Of its
picturesque appearance and charming
interior arrangement, but because of
its reasOnableness in cost. 1t is free
from my feeling Of crowding, and a
wonderful place for children. What

Perfect identification.

The French have hit on a new idea
for the making Of fi~nger-prints. In
stead of rubbing the f~inger-ends with
ink and making impressions on paper,
the X-ray is used. The finger is first
busted with a fine powder of bismuth,
and then In X-ray picture is taken of
it. The picture shows not only the
ridged ~convolutions of the skin tex
ture, but also the terminal bones of
the digit. These bones are not ex-
actly alike in any two human beings,
and thus Identification is made much
easier.

AUTO JACK that

Prolongs Life of Tires by Taking

Is in Garage.
CONSTRUCTION VERY SIMPLE

II Is possible to prolong the life of
automobile tires if the car is lacked
up as often as possible when not in
use. During the night, and at other
times when the car is in the garage,
which usually represents more than
half of the time. the ear might just
as well be raised from the floor, a V

Extra load is not only removed from
the tires, but any tendency to-
ward flattening of the shoe and max
ing its wearing qualities Uneven is
lessened considerably.
Pay for Themselves.
A set of homemade jacks will not
take long to make, and once made
and put to use, will much more than
pay for themselves in a few months,
The construction OF the jacks Is
simple. A six-foot length of strap
iron three-fourths inch in thickness
and one inch wide Is required for
each jack. This is bent nearly double
In the center. and each end provided
with a right-angle turn and four
inches turned to slightly more than

Stopping Plug Leaks.

There are still a great many engines
without detachable cylinder heads. and
these use valve plugs. These plugs
often leak. This leaking may be
stopped by spreading ordinary paste
stove blacking over the threads. Do
not use too much. This may be used
at any hot joint in place of white or
red lead. and is much better, because
il does not make removal Of the part
