Nseds New PolI.Tax Law.

In passing an amended bill exempt.
ing ex-service men Of Alabama from
the payment Of poll tax, the legisla-
rure Of that state has unwittingly dis.
franchised the men It sought to bene.
at. The amendment was held uncon.
stitutional and the only ex-service men
permitted to vote in recent elections
were those who became disabled from
wounds or sickness during the war,
provided they did not own $500 worth
Of property. George Lewis Bales,
commander Of the Birmingham post Of
the American Legion is drafting an
amendment as a substitute for the one
declared unconstitutional. It will be
submitted to the legislature at an

WAS ONLY COMIC OPERA WAR
Americans Experienced Odd Pro
visions When Joining Spanish
Legion Against Moors.

It was just comic opera war any,
how. according to So young Americans
who have returned to New York from
whence they sailed two months ago
to join the Spanish Foreign Legion
for service against the Moors. The
would-be Foreign Legionnaires were
represented In numbers among ex-serv-
ice men applying to the American Le-
gton employment bureau for any kind
Of work.
After enlistment in New York, the
recruits, almost all Of whom had
served overseas with the American
army, were sent to Ceuta, Africa.
There they were Informed for the first
time that out Of their pay Of AZ
.pesetas day (about 60 cents) they
must buy their own uniform, food,
even arms and ammunition.
1T was the funniest war you ever
saw" declared George Dimond Of
Brooklyn, who explained that the hard
er you fought the more it would cost
you for ammunition. II a man fought
very hard he would soon be deeply in
debt to the Spanish government. II,
on the other hand, he conserved am
munition and tried to save money, he
stood excellent chances of being
picked of by Moor. Besides all
that, the Americans, who thought they
were to be officers, were assured that
they were welcomed only as privates.

II rode the blinds and side-door pull
mans for 800 miles over>the NJ. K. &
T., Sante Fe and Texas and Pacific
railroads" McCalib reported to the
American Legion authorities Of Texas
handling the unemployment problem.
Il noted three outstanding things in
the six-day trip. First, the real, old
time hobo Of the back door variety
has almost disappeared. Second,
there were large number Of young
men who were too young to have
entered the army. The majority Of the
men riding the rods were Of this class.
Third. there was a comparatively
small number Of ex-service men on the
rods. They were notiteably unframed
In the ways Of hoboing."

MARY GRAaAlM BONNER
THE FOOTPRINTS

Minnie, or Min, as she was always
called, was only three years old. OF
course she knew there were younger
people than she was, but still, some
how, every one regarded her as very
young. 1t used to hurt her feelings
quite often when people would speak
of her as the baby"
I'm not baby" she would say.
She had cried once when some one
had called her baby, but her brother
told her that people would think they
were right II she did anything like cry.
For someone knew how very fond .ba.
bies were Of crying.
Her brother never called her a baby.
He called her Min and Sister. And
yet he was much older. He was seven
whole years older, in fact.
No, her brother never called her q
baby, and yet he always looked after
her so that she felt wonderfully safe
when with him. She remembered, very
d1mly, the time when she had been on
sled with a little girl and when the
little girl had been steering carelessly
straight for tree. Her brother had
seen what was happening and in a
"jiffy," as her mother said, he had
put himself in front Of them and had
stopped the sled.
Every one had said it was very he.
roic. Everyone except the brother.
He hadn't said anything, but he had
put his arm around her that evening
before she went to bed and with some-
thing very much like sob in his voice
he said: "Oh, Min, you're my sister"
OF course that was the truth-so
much the truth that it hardly seemed
worth mentioning except that he had
said it in such strange way. She
remembered, too, that he had torn his
clothes-torn them to shreds when he
had saved her. For though 1t had all
happened so quickly, she knew that
much though she never quite
knew what Is was that he had done.
She was thinking Of this this morning
as she watched the snowfakes joining
all the other snowflakes on the ground,

Brother had gone to school, and when
he got home he had promised to take
her coasting and for a ride on the
sled.
Before it was time for school to be
out-some, some time before, Minis
mother suggested that she might go
out in the yard and play in the snow
until It was time for her brother to
come home.
So Min went out and played in the
snow. But she began to get very lonely
and after little she thought she
would find her way to Brothers
school-she knew the way he always
started om-and she would be ready
for him the very second he came
out.
But on and on she walked, and no
school did she find. and no Brother
did she find.
On and on she walked, and finally,
having walked miles, 1t seemed, she
found building. Perhaps it was the
school house. She went up and tried
the door-but alas no one opened the
aoor, and when she knocked she comd
hear the echo answering.
She felt 50 tired now-her little legs
sched SO, and she was so frightened
that she did not know what she would
do. She didn't want to cry.
And 50 she waited, waited for the
strength to go on, while her eyes
burned with the tears that wanted to
come. to prove that she was baby,
while she held them back with the
courage that showed she was not a
baby. She thought she could stand
t no longer, when in the far distance
:ame her brothers whistle.
"Oh, Brother. Brother" she called.
MY brother" And in few mo-
nents Brother came running to her.
"Mfn, my own Min, Min" he said.
And behind him were her mother and
father and. several Of their friends.
Her father and her mother were
telling the friends how they had looked
tor Min when they had discovered
that she was lost. They had tele.
phoned everyone they had gone
everywhere, It seemed.
But when her brother came home
from school he said:
Il see her footprints and will follow
hem. f
And he had found her-tryinR to ret
INTO little old closed schoolhouse.
Her brother had found her when some
how the wits Of the grownups had
