 The Legion also desires an immediate emergency appropriation in order to meet the Extraordinary demands made upon the fund just at this time owing to economic conditions.
 The change in the legislative aspect of the question was in a measure due Co the attitude taken by the veterans cf for eign wars organization, which had been for cash bonus based on service of men overseas.

The tan were defeated before they attempted the task, while the two were victors from the very first, and the difference between the ten and the two
 was this, that the ten left God out of their

The prize is offered by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty tot Animals and will be awarded by the board of mana gers of the society. Drawings CT models may be submitted up to Oct 1.
 The society is urging legislation that will prevent the use of traps which in jure or torture the animals and the con- test for humane trap is intended to as- sist in this work. There is no intention, says a statement issued by the society
 to abolish the professional trapper's- oc- cupation or to destroy the fur industry
 A bill has, been introduced in the New

 of trap not capable of killing animals in
