Commander Owsley Will
Appeal 80 Conscience of
Americans TO Support Bo-
mus; Urges Home Feature
Bronx County Elects Albert
[. Ward as Head; Many
Posts Holding Elections

The American Legion will appeal to
the conscience Of the American people
instead OF demanding their support in
obtaining justice for ex-service men,
Alvin owsley, national commander OF
the Legion, declared in recent address
before the Service Club, composed of
Indianapolis World War veterans.
The national commander said that
opponents of adjusted compensation
had endeavored to create the impress
sicn that the cash feature is the para
mount issue and that the general pub
lie is not sufficiently informed in re-
gard to the other beneficial means Of
compensation.
If an ex-service man can find home,
find good American girl and have
children there will be an end to Boil
shevism in this country" Mr.. Owsley
said in discussing the home-purchase
feature Of compensation.
The land settlement provision also
would mean much to the United States,
the Legion head asserted, inasmuch as
1t means that thousands of acres of
arid and swamp land would be re-
claimed and made to produce food for
the country

The sections of the supplementary
prohibition act of November %, 1921,
which forbid the sale of Guinness stout

Court. The plaintiff is Edward and
John Burke, Ltd, New York corpo-
ration subsidiary to a British concern

age is brcwed and bottled. The papers

in question are contrary to the Filth
Amendment to>the constitution, which
forbids the confiscation of property
without due process of law.
This is the second equity action

Education Clash
Impending. Says
Catholic Director
DIR. Ryan Warns of s'Titanic
Struggle" Between Phi-
losophies, Nationalisfic
and Traditional American

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--Warning
that Titanic struggle is impending"
as regards the relationship of democ-
racy and education was given tonight
by tho Rev. James Ryan, director of
the Department of Education Of the
National Catholic Welfare Council, in
an address before the second annual
convention of the National Council of
Catholic Women. The speaker assert
ed that the controversy" had passed
from the stage of academic discussion
and had entered the "broad area OF
practical politics and united action"
Two philosophers of education are con
tending for mastery in the United
States, according to DR.. Ryan, who de-
scribed them, one as the nationalistic
point of view and the other as "the
traditional American attitude"
Il do not exaggerate when I say"
Mr.. Ryan continued, "that we are face
to face with one of the most momen-
tous crises in the history of our coun-
try, and may add, too, of our (Catho-
licl Church, that we ever have been
called upon to participate in. Upon its
outcome depends to great degree
the orientation of the United States,
the perpetuity of our democratic in
stitutions and the continued existence
of our Church."
The convention also heard the sub
ject of education discussed by the Rev.
William j. Kerby, faculty member
of the national Catholic service school,
who spoke on the subject of opportu-
mites, as we'll as duties, presented by
the school. The annual report of the
service school was rendered by Dr.
Anne M. Nicholson, of San Francisco.
The day meeting of the convention
was occupied in receiving reports from
the various committees and diocesan
representatives and visit to the White
House to meet the President.

TEXAS FLOOD NEAR CREST
Fear Loss Of Many cantaloupe,

San Antonio, Tex, June Y.--(By

inundated nearly 10000 acres in Starr,
Hidalso and Cameron Counties, ma.
rooned nearly 1000 MeIicans in small
border towns and covered the roads
leading west Of Mercedes, is expected
between midnight tonight and dawn to-
morrow when the crest Of the upper
food is due to reach the edge Of Starr
County.
This upper food is remarkable in the
history Of the Rio Grande. not only
because 1t has exceeded all previous rec
ords, but also because of its slow move

feared the upper food will spread far
beyond all previous overflow marks with
great damage to growing crops. The

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The sensational furry in Mexican
Petroleum naturally has subordinated
all other considerations for the time
being. The movement not only meant a
severe punishment for the short interest,"
but has also upset the calculations OF
some Of the shrewdest market judges
on the street. Several of the we'll
known analysts who have been unccom
comfy correct in their diagnosis OF the
market situation are now practically at
sea and are f,oundering about In trying
TO get their reckoning. There are, IN
consequence, divergent views as to the
causes and effects Of the violent move
ment in Mexican Pete. as 1t Is popu-
larly dubbed on the street.
On one side, 1t Is pointed out such
sharp rebounds by popular speculative
favoritcs demonstrated the celebrity with
which market quotations respond to
congested short interest largely profess
sional In nature, and that the bull cam
paign was resumed. On the other side.
it is stated when the ;ast outstanding
short contract in Mexican Pete has
been covered. the stock could easily
break as much in ono hour as 1t mas
gained in the last week.
The big rise has not served tho pur-
pose of pulling the rest of the market
up with it, and IL is feared. when 1t
once starts back It will have plenty OF
company on the down side.
