NEWS NOTES FROM
 THE AMERICAN LEGION

What American Legion officials be- lieve will be the most impressive pa triotic demonstration ever held in Philadelphia will take place April 7 under the auspices of the Legion and forty-five other patriotic and civic organizations. The purpose of the meeting is the expression of Ameri- can principles as opposed to the re- cent manifestation of foreign propa- ganda. It will be- similar to the "All American Meeting for God and Coun- try" held in New York City, March IS. The Philadelphia meeting, how ever, will have the additional feature of parade of 50,000 persons.
 In addition to General John J. Per shing and F. w. Galbraith jr, Ma tional Commander of the Legion, speakers will include Vice-President Calvin Coolidge, Rear Admiral Will liam s. Sims, Governor William c. Sproul, Mayor J. Hampton Moore and a member of President Harding's cabi- net.
 Cupid spends a, reasonable amount of his time loafing about the club rooms of the American Legion post at West Warren, Mass, for marriage is subsidized in that organization. The post has voted to present $25 to every member who gets married. The offer is retroactive to the date of or ganization of the post; consequently seven of the members will receive the gift.
