work or pastime or art. In every fire

the fire laddies are buslly engaged In
making fancy sweaters OF intricate
design for wives or sweethearts. In
one Of the most popular art needle

Spectators stood on the beach and
watched the heroic struggle. For many
minutes they feared both Hoffman and
the woman would be drowned. 1t was
night, and only by the lights Of the
beach could the crowd watch the two
dark forms bobbing up and down on
the water. And there were cheers
when Hoffman. exhausted, towed his
limp burden onto the beach.
The woman declined to dlvulge her
name. She said she had gone out for
a drive In her limousine and decided
on impulse to go swimming before she
returned home. She swan beyond the
sandbar and. finding herself in deep
water, became panic-stricken and
shouted for help. She declared she
would have drowned In few moments

virginia. refusing to permit his name
to be mentioned as department com.
mander in the election by the state
convention. His letter follows:
"The department commander should
devote his principal time to the Legion
its work, Its growth. Its welfare
should command his mind. his heart
and soul, and should always be upper
most in his daily life. The position Of
department commander is very high
office and 1t Is worthy of the very best
men In the Legion. 1t Is a man-slze job,
requiring the very best efforts and the
hardest work to handle 1t with the
greatest success.
Given a commander who would
practically surrender himself to the
Legion, and who could make Its prog.
ress and success his chief aim and
objective during his term of office, we
would see this Legion of ours expand
and grow in membership, influence and
healthy activity almost beyond con-
ception. | am Of the sincere convic.
ton that II the Legion called man to
serve as leader-asklns him. to give
practically his whole time and provid
Ing for his support-he would, If Of
proper caliber, consider that call as
leading him to n wonderful service,
Just rs serious, as noble and as patri-
otic as that which brought him into
uniform against the enemy"
The question is one which has been
much discussed over all the country
by Legionnaires, and probably will
come before the national convention at
New Orleans.

Persons who have suddenly ac-
quIred World war records, wound
stripes and desire to help other dis.
abled veterans by soliciting subscrlp.
tlons to equally bogus magazines have
so aroused the American Legion and
municipal authorities at Syracuse, n.

against such fake soliciting. Anyone
