AMERICAN \LEGION)

Henry Hustenden, German farmer of Manorville, l.. l., has just run on- to the battle of Chateau Thierry, and now he's so excited he can't work. Yn the summer he raises berries, in the winter he sits and listens to his wife read world events from cnronoiogf- cal collection of German newspapers. His wife reads slowly, and Hus,enden (unable to read himself) with stolid, Teuton thoroughness has never al- lowed her to skip.
 "Didn't you know this country was in the war;" member of the Ameri- can Legion asked him. "Ja,- safd Hustenden, "but I wasn't interested because I hadn't got to it yet in the papers,"
 "1t's all over now," said the Legion naire, heartily.
 "Ach, not for mel" replied Husten- den, returning to his wife and rne pile of papers.
 70 please send me a man." pleaded a frenzied voice over the telephons. Rufus Bethea, Legion's employment manager in Birmingham, Ala, siezed a baseball bat and went. All he hao to do was to rescue Persian kitten.
 Stephen F. Tillman, youngest war veteran" enlisted at IA years. HIS story was reported by the Legion post at Washington. D. C., and within a week he had received two offers to join the movies and had been elected fire marshal of Rainier, Md, his home town.
 Exception to the w. c. T. us plagiarizing of the world war service star flag to designate places where liquor is prohibited" is taken by an American Legion post composed of newspaper writers in San Francisco. The journalists term such usage as "an insult to those for whom the star stood"
 Chinese ex-soldiers of the American Legion in New York City are to be employed in rounding up 50 slackers of their race, supposed to be in hid ing in Chinatown. The men qualified on their knowledge of the quarters !, many literal Gins and outs."
 Five million questionnaires will be used by the Legion in it's service and compensation drive, to be undertaken by states. Each man who served dur ing the world war will be advised of government benefits, urged to carry | government insurance, and asked to designate the nature of adjusted com pensation he wishes.
 Secretaries, dieticians, and techni- l clans who served with American for ces have been declared ineligible to membership in the American Legion by the national organization. the world war are members of the | same American Legion post in Wash ington, D. c. w. N. Williams saw active duty at 80, and s. F. Tillman | enlisted at IA.
 The American Federation of Labor | favors the adjusted compensation bill | for ex-soldiers, Daniel J. Tobin, treas urer of the Federation, has informed | the American Legion. But it does not favor a sales tax as a means of | raising the money.
 An organization to cooperate close ly with the U. s. veterans bureau in all parts of the country in obtaining adequate care for disabled ex-soldiers will be formed by the Legion.
 The Legion has set October 16, IT, IS, 19, and 20 as the dates for it's fourth national convention to be held in New Orleans. The city will raise $150,000 for entertainment.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Vermont Military Sage.

Congressman Frank L. Greene OF ST
st. Adams, VT, Slated to be the states
next senator, is an expert on army at.
fairs. He was an officer in the Span.
ish war, one of his sons is a captain
in the army now, and he finds his
membership Of the military affairs
committee congenial task. His judg-
ment is respected in Congress and in
military circles. As an instance of
this some common sense advice of his
constituted an important part of the
address Of Rear Admiral Sims to the
graduates of the naval war college at
Newport last month. Mr.. Greene had
written an article for the Army and
Navy Journal, in which he warned
army men that he must economic and
counseled them to grin and bear it
until the tide turned Admiral Sims
after reading the article so applicable
to naval men also, paid the Vermont
man this compliment; THAT surely is
advice upon the wisdom of which we
rely in all conference.-the advice of a
friend in the Congress who has
unique understanding, both of the
conditions that confront us and the
manner and spirit in which they
should be met Washington COR

thousand miles from Salome, some
thing which happened some time ago
Bill as we will call him sold mine
and insisted upon going to Phoenix on
the new railroad and getting his money
all in cash. Bill had not been in a real
town for IS years, and after getting
bis money, he insisted upon the mining
man, and easterner. taking in the
town with him.
After liquoring up little first, the
usual thing done in those days, Bill
wanted something to eat ''the best
there is and lot of itD--so the mining
man had to accompany Bill to the oest
cafe in town. They arrived just about
the time the after theatre parties be-
gan to drift in and the menu and pres
ence Of so many women fustered Bill

order but double order Of ham and
eggs and mince pie.
The mining man. wishing to help
him out and knowing that Bills bill
of fare for 25 years had consisted
principally Of ham and eggs and
canned goods, suggested that he order
fish, oysters or a lobster. Bill thought
a minute, reached back and felt his hip
pocket and called out loudly to the
waiter at nearby table. "Hey waiter

TRYING TO MAKE HIGHWAYS
SAFE.

The increased efforts being made ~
the automobile department Of the sec
rotary of states Office to cut down
the motor vehicle accidents in Yer
mont certainly are needed. With five
fatalities during the last two weeks OF
May and with reports Of lesser acci.
dents pouring into the Office of the
secretary of state at the rate of half
dozen or more every day, it is evil
dent not only that the motoring sea
son is in full swing but that the mo-
torists (some of them at leastl are
lapsing into habits of recklessness and
disregard of human life. There ale
several thousand more motor vehicles
on the Vermont highways now than
there we're at the same time last year;
and considerable percentage of the
drivers are inexperienced at the wheel,
being operators for the first season.
This large increase in the number of
vehicles and the addition of the men
ace of inexperienced drivers add to tie
dangers of the highways and call Tor
the restoration of the spirit of eau
tion on the part of everyone, not alone
those who are driving motor vehicles
but those as well who are using the
in other manner. If this
spirit of recklessness and disregard Of
human life, together with any consid-
cradle multiplicity of inexperienced
drivers, continues, the record of 1922
in Vermont will be sorry one indeed
as far as fatalities are concerned. II
is time that every motor vehicle driv-
er take to himself little lesson from
the woeful record of the last two
weeks in May and to decide that as
far as he himself is concerned there

will be reduction of the danger. Foi
those who are unwilling to make such
pledge to themselves, there is re-
course to the law; and local policemen
everywhere should lend their co-opera-
tion to the state automobile depart
ment TO see that fragrant, wilful vio-
lators Of the law are brought up short
ly and perhaps deprived of the right to
operate motor vehicles.

1t is not always wise to trust thu
story OF one man concerned in an r,u-
tomobile collision; the other fellow
very often has an entirely different
version of the affair Of the road. Meas
differences of opinion in the general
run Of affairs are by no means elimi-
mated when it comes to responsibility
for collision Of motor vehicles. Com
slider your own case for q moment;
you sometimes are inclined to think
the other motor vehicle driver is "h,g-
ging" the road unnecessarily but wa,n
you look at your own side of the road
you find that the other fellow is 10
more to blame than you yourself.

The Anglicans have lately been hon.
oring the memory of the famous mu.
stefan, DIR. Arne, who composed the
well-knoWn 'Rule, Britannia to the
extent Of placing tablet to his mem
DRY in London church.
1t now turns out, on the testimony
of Father Bracey of the Dominican
Order, that Arne was a deyout Cath
Ollie. Curiously enough, DIR. Arne was
buried in the Protestant Church where
the memorial tablet has been erected.
but Father Bracey brings forward I'M
deniable proof that the composer of
Rule, Britannia" was not only a Cath
Ollie, but a deyout one, and at time
when Catholics had practically no
places of worship.
During. Arne's lifetime, there were
two places in London where Catholics
could worship in safety; these were
the chapels of the Sandman and Por-
tuguese embassies. Father Bracey
proves from some manuscripts of the
great Bishop Challoner that DIR. Arne
was constant attendant at the Sar.
dinian and Portuguese chapels, and
that he died in a devout and peniten-
tial state of mind fortified by the Sac.
raments.

At a meeting of the General Council
of the Irish White Cross, held in Dub

amounted to 1,176,S66 pounds, and the
total expenditure for the relief of dis
tress to 969,31O pounds. In addition,
10000 pounds have been allocated TO
provide for children whose fathers had
been killed in the course Of the Irish
conflict. The appalling conditions
that have prevailed in Belfast render
it essential that special provision
should be made for the continuance
of the relief work of the White Cross
IN that city and districts 1t was de-
cited to allocate the sum Of 10000
pounds for the maintenance Of this
work. To relieve distress in the West
of Ireland, the ALLEGATION made would

throughout the winter, the Syracuse

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Vanishing Point. By Coningsby-

tan Book Corporation, New York.

Varensky, the Russian idealist in
the story, gives the title to the book:
the vanishing point is the line. be-
tween desire and possible attainment.
For Varensky it is the last outpost.
between Man and Eternity-and Eter-
nifty. won. The narrative really cen.
tiers about the person and the achieve
ments, sinister they were, of Santa
the beautiful, clever intriguer who
wins her victims first by her fascina-
ton, makes them mad with desire,
and then trifies with them before she
destroys. Philip Hindwood, a young
American representing great financial
interests abroad, gives the necessary
punch" to the story, while his naive
qualities form fitting background for
the plotting vengeance and blood that
flow all about him. The tale leads
one from America through Europe,
into the very maelstrom of eastern
European plots and slaughter. 1t is
easy to trace the characters of GER
tain famous personages of the past
few years in the leaders in this story:
Hindwood, Santa, Varensky palpably
are images of persons familiar in re-
cent war history. Somehow, the story
leaves a dark brown taste in the
mouth; perhaps the air of prisons and
the smoke Of rioting gets into the
lungs. Anyway, it all ends as you
guessed about the middle of the book.
