WOULD AID G. A. R. VETERAN
Schuyler (Neb.) Post Endeavoring to
Assist Grand Army Man Who
Has Been Stricken.

The gratitude and loyalty Of mem
bers Of the American Legion to their
comrades Of the, Grand Army of the
Republic is illustrated by the Legion
post at Schuyler, Neb., which is en-
deavoring to obtain aid for Civil war
veteran of that city, who is suffering
from cancer.
"The post is In need Of advice as
to how we can assist this hero Of an
other war;. the post commander
writes. "He is stopping with relatives,
who are doing all they can, but since
they have to employ nurse, I know
that they cannot continue to care for
him because Of lack Of funds.
"Now, we would like to have you
take it up and see if something can't
be done for the old veteran. This Is
a worthy case and I believe anything
the Legion can do for the old boys
who wore the blue will be appreciated.
There are but few Of them left, and
/ think the Legion would do well to
look after them, since no one else will
do So"

A N EXPLORER will return to the
IA drear loneliness of the wilder
ness. A convict free will find himself
strangely longing for the bitterness of
captivity. SO strong is the hold en-
yironment can take on the soul of
man.
On ship in the fleet served good
seagoing chief engineer. But he had
been at sea too long. He was growing
stale. So he asked for shore duty.
He was transferred to huge steel
mill where government contracts were
filled. For two years he was to hear
the hum of lathe and scraper instead
of the pound and the wheeze of his
own engines. Instead Of the intermit-
tent roar of the turreted guns he was
to be half-deafened by the more steady
belching of gigantic blast furnaces.
His title was Naval Inspector Of Ma
chinery.
A superdreadnaught was launched.
The inspector supervised the installa-
ton of her mighty engines. His re-
sponsibility increased up to the day OF
her trials.
On this day a board of inspection
and survey came down in full regalia
to hold Official tests of the new war
baby, The inspector met the big bugs
in proper form, but he didn't look
happy.
Perhaps it was the sheaf of papers
and records he produced that filled him
full of gloom. For instance there were
the weight tables for parts and fittings
and auxiliaries and full boilers as we'll
as empty ones; it may have been his
long monotonous report comparing the
finished product to the original speci-
fications.
The machinery inspector was gray
and weary. Facts and figures had be-
gun to get on his nerves. Indoor work
had stolen his tan. And when he
guided the trial board through their
duties in trying out the newest of our
men-of-war he realized he'd had
enough shore duty. "Guess III put in
for the fleet again." he declared. 81
don't seem to do so well here"
He was wrong. Few inspectors be-
fore him had been his equal. The truth
was the DID, old truth: He was home
sick for the heave of a plated deck,
the swish of oily bilges, and a salt
breath out of the starboard hatch.
So "slave of the sea" is the right
aame after all.

LEGION MEN WANT P. MI. FIRED
Lincoln (Neb.) Post Takes Exceptions
to Government officials Demand
for Use of German.

A resolution requesting the govern
ment to relieve Henry G. farms, post
master OF Emerald, Neb., from his Of
flee was passed by Lincoln (Neb)
Post No. 3 of the American Legion, as
result C8 the poStmaster's efforts to
supplant the American language by
the German language in a church Of
Emerald.
The trouble started when the pastor
OF the church invited two Legion mem
berS to deliver patriotic addresses in
the church. When the speakers ap-
peared, farms objected to their pres
ence and called for vote of the con-
gregation to decide whether they
should be ousted. 1t was the will Of
the majority that the LegiOnnaires,
should not be heard. After the vote,
the Legion members quietly left the
church
The pastor, whose invitation to the
Legion men was made in an endeavOr
to conciliate the pro-German and
American elements Of his church in
uIcIL cOutIUftISy over Tie use VI i11o
American or German language, then
took the floor and expressed his sur
prise at the turn Of events and left
the meeting
In commentator of the patience Of
the American Legion members a Lin
coin newspaper expresses the follow
ing sentiment in it's editorial col
umnS:
"The policy of the Legion to send
speakers to address meetings on in
vitatiOn only and to teach American
ism by example rather than by force,
has everything to commend it. The
small groups >of unassimilated fox
eigners in this country can readily be
curdled into compact masses by hate.
On the other hand, they can be dis
solved in time by patience and friend
ship. The American Legion is honor
ing the name it bears when it adopts
the latter course"

SUBMARINE BELL

IT HERE is certain warship skip
4 per who calls attention to the
spreading gray about his temples. Not
that he is proud Of this mark of age,
but because it runs no further than
his ears. MY gray hairs STOP" he ex-
plains, because I always know Just
when to stop worrying"
His friends, however, "have one on
him." Twas the submarine bell that
got the placid shippers goat.
( This gadget-as we say in the navy,
meaning thingumbob-is a device for
transmitting sound signals under wa
ter. Large lightships such as Nan
tucket have a heavy bell suspended
deep in the water. BY an automatic
device clapper strikes at regular in
terVals. Each bell along the coast has
it's characteristic interval and number
Of strokes.
All large ships and men-of-war are
fitted with receivers for capturing the
sound waves set up under water by
these bells. In the outer bottom is a
small box filled with water and con-
tanning a very sensitive diaphragm
which vibrates in tune with the bell.
Through telephone connection one
may catch the signals from the bridge
or any other part of the ship.
Since the receivers are on each side
sound comes most distinctly when the
bell is nearly on the beam. From four
to five miles is the average limit of
range.
One thick March morning our self
contained friend was approaching New
York. Though he was well Off-shOre
the soupy fog made him anxious about
his landfall. Putting his submarine
telephone to his ear he suddenly heard
the clear note of bell. 'That's queer"
he exclaimed, eve oughn't to be any
where near the lightship yet"
He swung the battleship about in
order to find which heading blotted
out the sound. In this way he could
obtain an approximate bearing Of the
lightship.
But the bell kept on. It played reg
ular chimes, increasing and decreas-
ing. To the CONSERVATION of the skip
per he was unable to determine either
the distance, direction, or character of
the crazy thing. "Can it be some new
kind of enemy internal machine?" he
wondered.
He became frantic. He cursed the
navigator the lightship, the officer-of-
the-deck; and then all ships and bells
and officers In a final paroxysm Of
anxiety he sent someone to investigate
his receiving box in the double bot
toms.
Which disclosed a single happy
whistling busy bluejacket, chipping
paint. And every time the sailor struck
the bulkhead his signal carried direct
to the perpleXed bridge gang.

When youth and springtime meet in
the mind Of the designer of millinery
we are presented with such concep-
lions as those in the group of hats
shown above. One of the new shiny
fabrics makes the draped turban with
it's audaciOus dropping bow at the right
side. Knife-plaited ribbon is RESPONSE
bic for the cheerful hat in rose color
that looks as if it might be made of
sea shells at the right. The odd and
dashing shape at the left has a satin
brim and fancy braid crown with a
cluster that comprises fruits, flowers
and foliage posed against it, The
wide-brimmed braid hat boasts of
lovely lines not interfered with by a
rosette and ends of satin ribbon posed
at the side. These are only four
among the myriads of hats made to
grace the heads of young women, but
from them may be gathered something
Of the vivacity and the general bright
ness of new shapes and materials for
spring.

The procession Of suits for spring
shows the trend of fashion in four
directions with many versions of the
boxcoat in the lead. Then come the
straightline, bloused and sashed mod
els, like that shown in the picture, fol-
lowed by others. Styles are deter
mined by coats and skirts are plain.
This suit has reduced it's lines and
trimmings to the last degree of sim
plicity and has, therefore, new smart
ness of it's own. The sash of wide
black satin ribbon, however, is gath
cred in at the ends and finished with
very handsome silk tassels. These
bloused and sashed suits are youth
full looking and have a chic simplicity
approved with much fervor just now.
