Instance where the American Le- zion has lent helping hand in times of catastrophe as we'll as in the or dinary routine of civil life are re- ported almost daily to national head quarters.
 Texas and Arkansas Legion mem bers assisted in the recovery of 100 bodies of victims of the recent Texas tornado as we'll as carrying on relief work among the survivors. The Williams post of the Legion at Cliff ton Forge, Va. has arranged to take up picks and shovels to help the city build a S1O,OOO' playground. The spring municipal house cleaning Tn Kansas City, Mo. and Eunice, La. received fresh impetus when Legion members provided wagons and tatl- que details for the work.

 Seventy-fve percent of requests for information received at the American Legion's National Service Division in Washington are concern ed with compensation and hospitali- zation claims Other inquiries come in the following proportion: Voca- tional training, 10 per cent; retainer pay, 5 percent; Liberty bonds and Victory medals, 213 percent each; miscellaneous, 5 per cent.
 With the holding of the United States Attorney General that the government will not be liable in the sending out of lists of men who eva ded military service, the War De- partment will send the draft deserter lists direct to state departments of the American Legion. Departments in turn will distribute them to posts which will check them before they are released for newspaper publlca- tion, to make certain that no men are unjustly branded deserters and eva ders.
 Every member of organized la \ Dor who is an ex-service man should join the American Legion and help his buddies in their fight to obtain recognition of their just claims" " says an editorial in the California Oil Worker, official newspaper of District Council No. 1, Oil Field, Gas We'll and Refinery Workers of America.
 "The charge has been made that the Legion was a capitalistic institu- tion, but it's very composition IS enough to prove that such an accus- ation is absolutely baseless. The Le- gion's big job at the present time is to win decent treatment for several thousand disabled veterans and to provide employment for approxi- mately 100000 more who are now jobless. Nothing very capitalistic about that program, is there?"
 Twenty-seven posts of the Ameri- can Legion and 73 units of its Wo- mems Auxiliary were formed dur ing the week ended April 29, na- tional headquarters reports. Wash ington led the states in posts organ ized, with Wisconsin second and Iowa third. Kansas led with ten units of the Auxiliary, followed by Iowa and Minnesota. New York has the largest number of Legion posts with $40; Illinois is second with 727 and Pennsylvania third with 617. A total of POI units of the Auxiliary ip Minnesota placed that state in the

 Special American Legion editions ave been issued by newspapers in all parts of the country as an aid to 'ocal posts in carrying on their ac- oivities. Newspapers in the follow ing cities have given over one edl- ton to the Legion: Memphis, Tenn; Merrill, Wis; Patchogue, N. Y; Kinston, N. C.; Parkersburg, w. Va; Green City, Mo-, and Freemont, 0.
 More than one thousand members of the American Legion in Wichita, Kan, can be called out to attend spec al meetings or to answer emer- gency calls on a few minutes notice. By a system of three relays on the telephone, all members of Thomas Hopkins post can be notified in less than half an hour, according to the post commander. The system works in this manner: The post adJutant calls ten members, who in turn call from five to ten men; the latter each notify ten more men. Each man has card with the names and telephone number allotted to him.

 Mutilation of picture of former President Wilson by two brothers in Lodi, Cal, aroused the people of that city to such an extent that it was necessary for the members of the local American Legion post to pro- tect the accused. A mass meeting, presided over by the commander cf the Legion post, found the brothers guilty of an unpatriotic act, and gave them thirty days in which to set their affairs in order and leave town. It was during this interim that their safety was guaranteed. Both, after the verdict of the trial, had signified their willingness to leave.

 Between 5000 and 1000 maple trees are to be planted along the Lin coin highway in St. Joseph and La porte counties in Indiana, as a me morial to the soldiers from the two counties who lost their lives in the World War.

THE CITY MANAGER
City Manager Plan as Democratic as Old
BY H. S. GILBERTSON.

Under the city-managef plan, the
governing body can be just as demo-
cratic as the town wishes.
But, regardless of any method OF
selecting the officials, it is funda-
mentally democratic because of its
simplicity and because of the respon-
sibaity which It imposed on men
chosen to operate it.
The plan abohshes "one-man
power, for it is the council and not
the manager which governs. In the
old-style mayor and council plan, the
election of fool mayor is something
of a calamity, from which there is
no escape.
The manager, on the other hand,
is subject to continuous control by the
group. There have been misfit man.
ayers, just as there have been misfit
mayors, but they have been put in
their place or removed with little ado
