Veterans Prepare
To Open a Camp
Near Sara1lac
State Department of Health
Inspects Resort at Big
Tupper Lake for Tu-
bercular Ex-Service Men

A thorough inspection Of the veter-
ans Mountain Camp at Big Tupper
Lake, in the Saranac region, was con-
Quoted recently by the camp committee
and members of the state executive
committee. The camp was found to be
satisfactory to the Legionnaires in
every manner. The State Department of
Health reported that several changes
would be necessary to comply with the
requirements. These changes include
the changing of water lines, sewers and
new roads. The director of the camp
ordered these changes at once.
The possibility Of opening the camp
within the next few weeks was dis
cussed. 1t was decided to open the
camp just as soon as more funds are
made available. Tubercular ex-service
men will be admitted to the camp when
the requirements of the State Health
Department are complied with. The
big buildings will be thrown open to
them and the work of constructing log
lean-tos, which are the only buildings
outside those already on the site pro-
vided for, will be started at once.
Following the inspection of the camp
by Legion officials and representatives
Of the State Health Department the
officers who will govern the camp were
chosen. Charles Pope Caldwell was
chosen president of the board of direc-
tors; Theodore H. Skinner, vice -presi-
dent, and Edward Kiely jr, secretary.
The executive committee consists of
Charles Pope Caldwell, DR.. Samuel
Lloyd, treasurer; State Commander
William F. Deegan, Percival Case,
James M. Blackwell and Donald C.
Strachan.
Mr.. Caldwell announced that posts
still withholding funds collected for
the camp will hasten the opening of
the site by forwarding these funds to
the Office Of the Veterans Mountain
Camp Committee.
Every member of the Legion in this
state who is in good standing is q
member of the Veterans Mountain
Camp Corporation under the articles
of Incorporation. Charles Pope Cald-
we'll announced that the Legion auxii-
aries in the state have done much to-
ward securing the camp.

Daisy Bill Before Congress
Kissell Sponsors Plan to Name
National Flower

WASHINGTON, July 8.--A bill to

flower has been introduced in the
House by Representative John Kissell,
of New York, who has announced that
he will wage vigorous campaign to
give the daisy the right of way over
the magnolia, the goldenrod and the
sunfiower. Attention to the daisy was

flower at its last national convention
held at Kansas City, Mo.
The Fench poppy was voted down by
the World War yetrans, who wanted a
flower which would be typically Ameri-
can.

Plea for Return Of
Cathedral Fragments

Doughboy souvenir hunters,
who extended their activities to
the taking of fragments from the
historic Rheims Cathedral, have
been requested by the National
Legion to send these mementos
back to Rheims. The Legion is.
cooperating with the French au-
thorities in an effort to reassem-
Bile the cathedral.
Thousands of members Of the
A. E. F. visited the Cathedral and
many carried away statuary and
other elements Of fabric from the
structure. Some Of these were
priceless to the French.
The reconstruction efforts are
aimed toward replacing all por-
tions that can be recovered. Many
fragments have been returned,
according to Maurice Barres,
member Of the Chamber of
Deputies, and the French Acad-
emy, leader Of the campaign to
collect the pieces. The Legion has
spread the appeal throughout the
country.

$50 Disabled Men
In Sara7,uc Houses

A recent inspection of the con-
tract houses in tho Saranac re-
gton by Commander Deegan
showed that there are about $50
men there being cared for by the
government. The houses are
clean, the food good and the men
are satisfied, according to the
State Commander.
However, approximately 200
tubercular men who, because
they believe the region best for
their welfare. are paying from
$50 to $500 a month for their
board and lodging. These men
are being compensated by the
government to the extent of $50
a month, but are not being hos
pitalized. This is the condition
the State Department seeks to
remedy.
