Colonel Miller expressed the belief
that If the compensation act was
vetoed, there still remained chance
for the soldiers. In referring to the
part of the American Legion in the
World War, he said there were thou.
sands who did not find their way into
the ranks, but entered the field Of
professional baseball, and other lu-
crative work. AS a result, we find
many going to Europe today who
didn't care to make the trip in 1917"
Colonel Miller stated.
"Thc bonus bill, defeated at Dover
two years ago, was defeated by the
vote Of two young men. Both of them
were men who claimed exemption.
Now ! say it is up to the American
Legion to be heard at the polls. But
regardless Of politics, something has
got to be done to assist the disabled
soldiers.
1--WE are going forward and will be
looked forward to as the premier Or
ganization of the world"
Following the luncheon in the grill
room, Commander Pettyjohn intro
duced Mrs. Edith I. Hobart, Of Ind-
ana, president of the National Aux
iliary.
Members of the Auxiliary and
Legionnaires, l bring you greeting
from two million women who renew
their pledge to you," she said. "We
are helping you to build your club
house, your hospitals and helping the
women to care for the children while
the men are in these hopsitals."
Mrs. Hobart spoke Of the creation
OF gift shops for ex-soldiers.
The Auxiliary is planning to take
charge Of these stores and dispose Of
the goods produced by the men.

Reviews Bonus Legislation
Colonel Miller reviewed the origin
of the American Legion. He also said
Of the bonus legislation:
"This great nation of ours takes
slowly and stubbornly to the lessons
taught by our past experiences. The
draft law augmented our fighting
forces, which before it's enactment
consisted of a small, but efficient
regular army and a national guard
There were defects in the draft law
which are now showing themselves,
"You would not take one or two
men equally paid in your employ, and
oSiAu oiAS oue III q pal elCularly dan-
gerous mission which he gladly IN.
dertakes out of his loyalty to YOU,
risking his life, leaving his family,
ready to encounter or surmount anv
difficulties gladly to serve you, and in
the meantime multiply many times the
wage of the man retained home in
safety, and on the first mans return
not give him at least an even deal
with the other.
This is not a question of sent-
ment, of paying for a mans services
or his patriotism, because no man
can put price on that, nor can any
man pay for it. By reason of these
conditions, there is pending in the
Congress today, bill which has d.
vided this country of ours, not only
on partisan lines, and has resulted in
placing the ex-service men of the
country in a false light before a
great number of their fellow citizens
for whom they fought. 1t is hoped
that there are to be no more wars in
the future, but in spite of the treaties
and conferences, we must be pre-
pared, should the time ever come,
when the draft law has to be invoked
for our protection; let us not only
conscript men to fight, but conscript
industry as well, and all that goes
with it."

Based upon some such considerations as these and
under the authority granted by resolution of the
Board of Trustees, the General Alumni Association,
through it's Executive Committee and Committee on
Ways and Means has decided to take hold of the pro-
posed campaign and make it alumni movement
Similarly the Association of Alumna of the Women's

 To make a vario- coupler for re- generative receiving set, get two card. board tubes.
 One. used for the primary, should he four inches long and about 8 2-4 inches in diameter. The other, used for the secondary, should be small enough to turn inside the primary.
 Give the two tubes three coats of sheiac and place in a moderately hot even for shrinking.
 Tor the primary tube get No. p or No. A cotton covered wire and start winding about half an inch from the end. Wind on for 60 turns, tapping off every len turns.
 These taps-off should run to small contacts of a tuning switch which give different variations of wave lengths The aerial is connected to one free end and the ground is con- nected to the rotary lever of the tuning switch.
 Wind the secondary with the sarne kind of wire. But make only AS turns. Since the secondary coil must rotate for tuning, the ends mpat be long enough to allow a lS0- degree turn.
