praiseworthy system in the selection

Likewise, the 77th Division Asso-

man or certainly one who is fairly
representative of the hundreds Of
thousands of Legionaries in this coun-
try, to represent it on the tour.
1t has been pointed out that New

Six OF the delegates thus far have
been chosen. Ten are still to be Sc

the confidence of its rank and file
membership it would seem that some
plan should be evolved whereby

Posts Paying Slowly

Unless the individual posts of the
American Legion in the Department of
New York are more responsive to the
state treasurer's appeal for financial
assistance, the organization will begin
It's new year, dating from the state
convention, with heavy debt.
1t was found last year that the state
treasury was so stinted that county or
carnations were compelled to pay the
expenses of their own delegates to the
national convention at Cleveland. This
money the state was to have returned
to the counties.
The plan was to raise the deficit by
assessing the posts. Those of fewer
than 100 members were to have paid
So those Of from 100 to $50 members,
Sl0 those of from $50 to 500 members,
SIS, and those of 500 or more, $40.
Apparently just few posts have re-
sponded to this demand, and unless the
money is Forthcoming the counties will
lose out.
State Treasurer H. Allister Morris
has issued a bulletin reminding the
posts of their obligation.

Dying Veteran Is Sent
To Home in California
DAUL p. PfNNELL is = tubsrc,,,,r

pAUL 2. PfNNELL is a tubercuIar
war veteran who is believed to
be dying. Yet he probably was the
happiest man in New York yester-
day.
PinnelPs father lives in CaIifor-
MIA, and the veteran asked recently
that ne be sent back home to spend
ms last few days with his parent
he appealed to Walter Fl. Hamilton
chairman of the American Legion,s
welfare committee in the Bronx. and
the response to the plea was i'm.
mediate.
The stricken soldier left yester-
day for his home in charge of a
nurse and will be escorted by the
Leglonnaires along the route. A
purse of $3.50 was raised to see him
through. He served in the navy
during the war.

November ., 1920 A resident of New
York might have enlisted from Cali
fornla, where he was going to college,
or III Chicago, where his business as
travelling salesman had taken him at
the time. On the other hand, on No
vember 2, 1920, he might have been

Washington or have been in Colorado
for his health or have gone back to
school in New England or have been in

Their, in many such cases man may
have found it convenient or necessary
to take his family with him during his
temporary absence from the state. In
all of these cases the residence of the
absentee would continue to be in New
York
How 1t Is Lost
"Still, if coupled with mere absence
from the state there was evidence Of
an intention to absolutely abandon his
New York residence, then the claim
to bonus would be lost. The evidence
of such abandonment might be an at
tempt to vote elsewhere; the purchase
of property for the purpose of settling
elsewhere permanently; entering into
business which would make it impos-
sible to come back to this state.
In conclusion, each applicant is re-
quired to state in his application blank
the facts from which the Bonus Com
mission will determine whether or not
he was actually resident at the times
required. 1t will be the policy of the
commission literally to construe the
provisions of the law so that no person
need feel that, if he or she has not
actually abandoned his or her residence
and acquired residence somewhere
else, the right to the bonus Will be
lost ~

State Bonus Law Interpreted
Literally for NONRESIDENT

Criticism of the New York State
bonus legislation by veterans who OBJ
ject to that section which says they
must have been residents of the state
on Election Day of last year, as we'll as
on the day of their enlistment, has
been somewhat untimely. according to
decision handed down recently
through Henry j. Cookinham jr., execu-
tive director of the Soldiers Bonus
Bureau, by Attorney General Charles
D. Newton
The Attorney General clears up
many disputed points in the contro-
vorsy over the bonus legislation. He
says:
''In order to get the state bonus a
person who served in the war between
April 6, 1917, and Novem Der II, 1918,
must have been a resident of the State
OF New York at the time he or she en-
tered the service, and must also have
been a resident of the state on Novem-
Der 2, 1920, the day when the bonus law
was approved by the people. The
statute requires only residence and not
citizenship.
Foreigners Get 1t
Therefore, the bonus is given to
foreigners residing in the State of New
York whether they became naturalized
or not after they entered the service
Residence depends upon the intention
of party as evidenced by certain facts
Therefore, person who has a legal
place of abode some place in the state
may usually be regarded as resident
until he does something to show con-
trary intention. Going out of the state
to attend school or to work on Fed
eral job or to get medical treatment or
to work temporarily for private parties
would not necessarily indicate that the
New York residence was abandoned

MERCHANT TELLS
OF A REMARKABLE
CASE in HIS TOWN

Writing from Maxeys, Ca, A. ]. Gill
len, proprietor of a large department
store at that place, says:
Il have a customer here who was
in bed for three years and did not go
to a meal at any time. She had five
physicians and they gave her up.
One bottle OF Tanlac got her up, on
the second bottle she commenced
keeping house and on the third she
did all the cooking and homework for
family of eight.
This sounds really incredible. but
it comes unsolicited from a highly
creditable source and is copied YER
batim from the letter.
