FLORIDA MAIDS MADE
ORANGEADE FOR LEGION
MEN AT NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, La, Oct. 20-Flor-
ida's American Legionnaires, leading
an advance supported by Florida Or
ange juice served by Florida girls,
have outfanked California's delega-
tion in obtaining publicity for their
respective home states, and as a re-
suit relations between the two COM
petitors were never better.
At the states dinner given by the
Woman's Auxiliary to the American
Legion. the Florida table, in charge
of Mrs. S. L. Lowry, chairman, was
profusely decorated with citrus fruits,
flowers and palms. During the eve
ming the table was called upon four or
five times for five-minute toasts and
the entire delegation in the room, in
cluding legion officers, responded with
cheers.
Florida's exhibit booth at the con-
vention is attracting more than unus-
ual attention on the midway. Dur
ing the morning hours several Florida
girls quenched the thirst of thousands
of the legionnaires and visitors by
serving the juice of Florida oranges.
So far more than two carloads of Or
anges have been served and it is esti-
mated that it will take at least as
much more as the booth is being
swamped by persons anxious to sam
pie Florida's products.
Even California delegates and visi-
tors have taken an important lead in
spreading the report that Florida is
serving real orange juice. The head
quarters of the two states are in ad-
joining rooms
Every newspaper in the city has
given the exhibit and the entire dele
cation considerable space, and it is
the opinion of legion officials that the
state is receiving considerable benefit
from the exhibit fund raised through
the various cities.
