TO CALL SPECIAL LEGION MEETING
Will Arrange for National
 Census Of SerYiCemen

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 18.-The most important meeting of the Amer ican Legion ever held between na- this city January 20 and 21, to ar range for a census of every eX-service man and woman In the country. The plan that National Commander Han ford MacNidler will present to dele gates calls for personal interviews by Legion canvassers of all veterans.
 c. R. Forbes, director of the United States Veterans Bureau. will come as the personal representative of President Harding and Federal Judge k. NJ. Landis, of Chicago, will be one of the speakers. All state command ers adjutants and national executive committeeman, chairmen of standing committees and national Legion of ficials will be present Representa- tives of the War and Navy depart ments will also attend. The national executive committee of the American Legion Auxiliary, an organization of women relatives of Legion members, will meet concurrently.
  ice and compensation campaign and is modelled after the Iowa plan," suc- cessfully used in that state when MT. MacNider was commander there. After approval by the convention, the census will be undertaken at once. The country will be divided into dis tricts, with a Legion committeeman to supervise. Districts will be small enough so that thorough canvassing can be assured. Legion volunteers will work under the committeeman and will visit every house and inter- view every veteran.
 Questionnaires will be used to as- certain, first, what form of adjusted compensation is preferred of the five offered in the pending Federal bill. Veterans have the option of cash pay ment, paid-up insurance, vocational training, aid in buying home, or aid in settling land. MT. McNider has a plan whereby veterans will be given the option of turning their compensa- tion payments into general fund, to be administered by the Legion and out of which loans will be made to disabled, unemployed or needy con- rades. He believes this fund will to- tai several million dollars. Canvass CTS in the census will ascertain how many veterans will lend money to this fund.
 The subject of unemployment also will be considered at the convention and some means devised Whereby the Legion can assist nationally Tn placing ex-service men in jobs. A committee will bring in a report on the me- morial proposed in honor of the late Y. w. Galbraith, who was killed while serving as Legion national com mander.

DELIVERY OR RURAL
MAIL QUICKLY DONE
BY MOTOR CARS

The efficiency of the automobile
as a means of delivering United
States mail in the rural districts
Of the country is every day being
demonstrated more and more, ac"
coYding to Il. r. Strong, sales man
ager OF the Buick Motor company
of Flint, Mich.
Government statistics show, ac-
cording to Mr.. Strong, that the
old-time rural mail carrier with
horse and buggy is fast disappear
ing. This, it has been found, is
due to two things. %
First, statistics show that the
volume of mail is increasing to
such an extent and the route of
the various carriers is becoming so
heightened and complicated with
parcel post packages and other
heavy mail that it is becoming
more and more difficult for the
carrier to make his daily run in
anywhere near the time he used
to take.
Second, reports show that the
pay of the average mail carrier in
the so-called rural districts who
uses an automobile is $3.50 per
year, while the pay of the man
who uses the horse and buggy is
but S1,S30.
These men, it is said, are COM
ing to realize more and more that
the automobile is to be the most
important factor in transportation
in their business and that they can
increase their earning capacity by
more than SO per cent by its use.

DURANT PRICES ARE
GUARANTEED FOR YEAR

Visions of a motor car price
war faded perceptibly recently
when w. c. Durant announced
that Durant prices had been guar
anteed until August /, 1928. The
guarantee is made to distributors
and dealers.
"Our present prices" Mr.. Du-
rant says, were established when
business was at a standstill, with
material costs as low or lower
than those now prevailing. We
carried no after-war burdens and
had no high priced inventories to
liquidate. Our prices were fixed
accordingly. Other manufacturers,
less fortunate, have been liquidat-
ing by gradual price reductions"
Fortified by orders that exceed
present plant capacity to fill, Mr..
Durant says the company's policy
will be to continue to supply the
public with 'just real good car.

ALBUQUERQUE WELL
SUPPLIED NOW WITH
CRANKS FOR CARS

The Mcintosh Auto company
have Just received a large ship
ment of starting cranks for all
cars.
A crank is an accessory which
the motorist seldom needs, but it
il better to be safe than sorry. II
a long trip is anticipated it is al
ways a good idea to check over
the tools and see that a crank is
included in the tool kit.
Occasionally the motorist will
allow his battery to get so low that
it will not start his motor or a
short circuit caused by some acct
dent or defective wiring will dis
charge the battery. Outlines he
does not realize till that time that
his car is not supplied with a crank
and discovers that the only method
he has to start the motor is to
place q fully charged battery in
the car. II he is fortunate to be
close TO a battery station little
trouble or lost time is experienced
but ordinarily such accidents hap
pen when he is least prepared.
In addition to the new starting
cranks Mcintosh carries COM
plete line of cylinder head gaskets,
DINNER lens and radiator caps for
all cars as we'll as complete line
of used parts for all popular cars.
