world by the band leaders men. Thir
ty-two of the master musicians wao
make up the Sousa organization are
ex-service men, and nearly all are af-
filiated with the Legion. They come
from every part of the country and
saw service in every branch of this
country's military organization dur
ing the war;
When SOusa took hold of the Great
Lakes band it was group of sailors,
whose right to play under him could
have come only with their enlisting
with the crowd that ''took 'em over"
What he did with this group of mu-
steal talent became known the country
over. What they learned under Sousa
couldn't have been learned anywhere
else, and the finer points of the mu-
s1cian's art are being shown to the
huSldreds of Legion posts whose per-
sonnet is made up of one or more Of
the gobs who made up the largest
service band of the many brought into
being during the war.

With the entrance and first floor
this house offers n particularly In
viting appearance and reflects a def
mite impression of hospitality. The
entrance partakes somewhat of the
Colonial, although built on more square
modern lines. A large glass-paneled
door opens the way into a reception
hall running straight back through the
house to the rear From here rises
the stairs to the floor above and from
this same hall are the entrances to
the living room, dining room and
kitchen.
A real surprise and treat awaits the
visitor to the living room, a great in
formal room of good proportions, 15
by % feet 6 inches. In the center of
the outside wall, facing the living
porch, is large fireplace thanked on
each side by double French doors
opening out on the porch. The porch,
which is 10 by "a feet, has been
screened in. During the winter this
covering can be changed to glass and
the use of this space continued
throughout the year. Additional light
to the living room is provided by win
dows in trent and rear.
Stepping across the hall one finds
himself in large wellappointed din
ing room, Is by IA feet. 1t is a bright
room,. conveniently situated with re-
gard to the kitchen and other rooms.
After all the relation of the dining
room and kitchen is one of the most

LEGION HAS CEMETERY PLOT
Racine (Wis.) Organization Will See
That No Ex-Service Man Sleeps in
Potter's Field.

The American Legion at Racine.
Wis. has taken over part of one OF
the city's cemeteries and will hold it
in order that no one of the eX-service
men who did his share in the army or
navy during the World war need sleep
in a potters field When the Legion's
work on its acquired plot is complete.
Racine will have a miniature Airing
ton. The plot is circular and will be
fittingly arranged in order that it may
look as much as possible like the ma
tional cemetery in Virginia.
The Legion men have authorized the
expenditure of s., $3.50 for the land.
A steel mast, from which will fly the
Stars and Stripes is one Of the first
things the organization will buy. AL
ready Racine's SO ex-service men are
buried in two of it's cemeteries. An
effort is to be made to have as many OF
these as possible transferred to the
new plot. Room for the burial OF
more than 300 veterans is being al
lowed for.
The next session of the Wisconsin
legislature will be asked to raise the
amount which the state allows for the
burial of a war veteran. AT present
this amount is but $50, but it is hoped
that this will be increased to $50 or
$780,.

activities ceased to operate by reason
Of his learning so much Of their prop
uganda and plottings.
His home Is in Toledo, o., where
the American Legion has as it's COM
mander this same Gustavus Ohlinger.
The Legion convention was in full
blast in his home city when a wealthy
Teledoan burst i'm and announced that
he would pay the entire expense of
the ex-service mems gathering if they
would drop their bonus stand. What
Ohlinger told him was never learned
from a five-foot Shelf but it was good
enough to cause hurried exit on the
part Of the Toledo business man.
That's why the Legionnaires like him.
Kid gloves might be alright to use
sometimes, but Ohlinger doesn't draw
them on when he tackles Legion prob
lens.
Born of German parentage in China,
a close friend of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, world traveller and famed
as having ridden a bicycle across
South Africa are few of the things
that show why "Gus'' stands ace high
with the Legion men and also why he
must be reckoned with by any group
whose Americanism is questionable

stroyer for him didn't take place until
long afterward.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Pruitt of
Phoenix, Ariz., have just received
from the italian government citation
and the Italian war cross, Croce di
Guerre, in recognition of their sons
valor nearly four years ago. The cita-
ton told Of young Pruitt's single
handed battle against two machine gun
crews, capturing both, killing two of
the enemy and taking 40 prisoners.
Under age and therefore ineligible
for the first draft, Pruitt volunteered
for service with the marines less than
three weeks after war was declared.
He was in France in January, 1918,
and served as a "Devil Dog" until his
deathA His body was brought back to
this country and buried with all the
honors that are hero's, in the Nation
al cemetery at Arlington.

homes because they figured that the
next May / would see a decline, but
they were fooled and now they are
not going to wait any longer. These
expositions are thronged with people
In search of ideas. They want to see
how a home looks from the outside,
how it appears on the inside, what
they are using in bathrooms, how they
are building kitchens and thousand
and one other things that make. the
home real place in which to live.
Perhaps you are one of the many
who will be unable to attend one of
these expositions. That does not
necessarily mean, however, that you
cannot get the same information and
some of the inspiration that these 9th
er folks are getting. If you are in
terested in a home of your own, you
will more than likely get some real
ideas from the splendid design shown
here. 1t embodies the latest in con-
struction, the most recent develop
ments in household convenience. 1t
is built to be real home, and, after
all, that is the test. 1t may not be
just what you want but then again it
will give you some tangible ideas that
will aid you in finding the one you
want
There is no question about the
comfort of this home. AS for con-
struction, it is built to last To the
average man the building of home
is one of his biggest jobs during his
entire lifetime. and he wants it to
last. This house is built of brick and
stucco, very pleasing combination.
The roof is gable, rather steep, with
Two attic roof dormers on each side.

MANY "OUT OF COMMISSION"
Coveted Gold Star on Stacks,
Are Doomed.

A typewriter has at last defeated
nearly a dozen of the destroyers which
for four years zigzagged through the
North sea and in the submarine zone
of the Atlantic and gained notable VIC
tories over German submarines. The
coveted gold stars, worn on the stacks,
where all might see a1fd know that
German sub had met death, were
awarded the Parker, O'Brien, Cum
mings, Porter, Davis and many others
which have been ordered tout of COM
mission" by the Navy department.
'Out of commission" means nothing
more or less than that the fast grow
ing navy junk pile grows higher. Never
again, probably, will these greyhounds
OF the deep circle around a fleet of
transports, suddenly dive off to one
side, sweep back again, drop a depth
bomb, and then watch the oil come to
surface that shows another German
submarine has gone down to visit Davy
Jones.
The thrills of the deeds of these
"star" destroyers are a bit overshad-
owed by the news that the Shaw is
slated for the scrap heap, too. She was
escorting the huge British transport
Aquitania when the rudder damned
and the giant ship ran her down. The
Jacob Jones also brings back sad men,
cries. She is named for the first i'll
fated torpedo boat of that name which
was sunk while battling in the subma.

at the same time sap up her energy.
In this home the kitchen is small
10 by 10, which seems to be more or
less standard in homes that are be-
ing erected at the present time. Not
much more than 100 square feet are
needed in this room.
Passing to the floor above we find

portance to every member of the

In case more sleeping quarters are
needed the attic can be quickly and
economically converted into at least

The critical time of a woman's life
usually comes between the years OF
45 and so, and is often beset with an
noying symptoms such as nervous
ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat
flashes or waves of heat appear to
pass over the body, cause the face to
be very red and often bring on head
ache, dizziness and q sense Of suffo-
cation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable to make a woman
lose confidence in herself. She be-
comes nervous, avoids NEE citing
strangers and breads to go out alone.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is especially adapted to
help women at this time. It exer-
cises a restorative influence, tones
and strengthens the system, and as
sists nature in the long weeks and
months covering this period. Let it
help carry you through this time of
life. 1t is q splendid medicine for the
middle-aged woman. 1t is prepared
from medicinal roots and herbs and
contains no harmful drugs or nay
cotics.
