SOLDIER AND SAILOR NEWS

president of the Women's Auxiliary of the Legion.
 New Orleans, La, was selected for the next meeting. That city has pledged $1O0000 for entertaining the Legionnaires there during the l922 meeting next autumn.
 The presence of the distinguished military commanders-Foch, Jacques, Diaz, Beatty and Pershing-brought the gaze of the world on the Legion's great meeting. Their addresses in the convention started the Legionnaires' enthusiasm on a rapid ascent.
 At the opening session the Legion men honored their late commander, Fred w. Galbraith, Jr., with a mem- orial service. John G. Emery, the re- tiring commander, set off a roar of ap- plause when he declared that the peo- ple of the United States demanded the adjustment of the economic bal ance between the men who went to war and the man who did not.
 The Legion's growth financially and numerically was shown by the annual report read at the convention by Ma tional Adjutant Bolles. It was report ed that 1050 new posts had been ad-
 ed during the year. MT, Bolles out lined the Legion's campaign to assist unemployed ex-service men.
 Major General Le Jeune, comman- der of the Marine Corps; General Robert Mcbride, vice-commander of the G. A. R., and George l.. Berry, official representative of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor were speakers on the opening day.
 The reception for Foch when 25,- 900 men in navy blue and olive drab, silhouetted by red fire, stood on the steps of Kansas City's new S2,500, ,000 war memorial in Union Station plaza waving their arms, was a dazzling spectacle.
 Another "high" of the three-day gathering was the annual Legion par ade with endless columns of march ing men, Legionnaire cowboys from the west, Indian veterans in native costume and many attractive floats. With their former high commander leading the parade, the Legionnaires marched with old-time zip of A. E. F. days. Governor Hyde of Missouri and dozen governors from middle-west states were in the reviewing box and Vice-President Coolidge, who as President Harding's representative had addressed the convention, was an honor guest.
 ''The convention has convinced me that the American Legion is an es- tablished power in the United States power for truth and equality" de- clared Marshal Foch before his de- parture from Kansas City.

"SQUAW DANCE" IS
 NEW INDIAN STUNT

The following personal letter is from Lewis Martin, formerly Phoenix school employe. It is printed without the knowledge or. permission of the writer because of it's interesting char acter:
 Hast night the two storekeepers, their families and the Martins all went to 'squaw dance,' about two miles from here. It's the first one I have ever seen, and like all Indian dances, not much of an affair. The men have their big sing in the early part of the evening, and along about 10:30 the deck is cleared for action A big fire is built and the womeu come out of the hogan and get into the ring. They pick out whoever they want to dance with, take him by the coat, drag him into the ring and make him dance until he pays the wo- man some money; and if she doesn't think he pays her enough she makes him dance until he does pay her what she thinks is the right amount.
 l was sitting along in the front row holding E. Roy, thinking of course, would be safe as long as I had the child; but young woman got her eyes on me and before I knew it she had me by the coat and there is no getting away when they once get their hands on a fellow. Of course the Indians as well as the white peo- pie 'whooped her up when they saw me hauled into the ring. and I guess l must have been an awfully poor, or an awfully good dancer, as they cheered about all the time was danc- ing. I thought 25 cents would be enough to pay for this dance, but when I gave her the 25 cents, instead of letting me go she turned around and started me dancing again, and not until I had given her half dollar more did she let me go. They like to get white fellow, as they know he has money. I'll say it's more econ omy to go to 'jitney dance in Phoe- nix than these Indian dances. For music they have pottery bowl with the skin of some animal drawn over the top. It makes a drum and the rest is all vocal. We stayed until after midnight, but they danced all night lots of Indians are coming noon lots of Indians were coming home. 1 had to stick pins in most of my pupils today to keep them awake"
