the amnesty forces to redoubled efforts
for the release of the remaining sixty
two prisoners" said the committee.
"Of all the political prisoners still
imprisoned in Leavenworth and other
Federal penitentiaries Magon was one
of the most widely known and loved.
Owing to the fact that he had Been

birds cannot get hero in time for the

the situation is that this tremendous
stock of Texas turkeys will be on the

probably result in lower prices.

M e rely Temporarily,
Commander Callan SAYS

The high degree of physical strength
which has brought most international
sporting championships TO American
athletes is not typical of the bulk of
the population of the United States,
accofdlng TO a statement made by Gar
land W. Powell, director OF the Ameri-
can Legion's national Americanism
commission.
The Legion, which is conducting
american Education Week, December
SIS to 9 inclusive, in cooperation with
The National Physical Education So
ciety, has designated December 8 as Ma
fional Physical Education Day. State.
county and city school officials in all
states will assist the Legion by hold
ing special athletic exhibitions. The
Legion will endeavor to stimulate pub
lie interest In the building of play
grounds and other recreation centers
designated to keep children off the
streets.
America needs the assistance of all
patriots in raising the physical stand
ard Of our people," Mr.. Powell stated.
'rhe results of the army draft, based
on q report made by the Provost Mar
shel General, showed that ga per
cent, or 1,340,623 men, were rejected
: or general military service on account
OF physical disabilities. There were
d,650,600 men in the United States
Army"
Mr Powell said that the figures were
especially significant when it is re

ears the percentage of the unfit would
he more than doubled, according to Mr..
POWELL.
hat most of the defects listed as the
causes for rejection could have been
prevented by adequate physical edu-
rational programs" Mr.. Powell stated.
'One authority states: !. Heart dis
ease could be prevented by proper
strengthening of the heart through
physical activities, by proper removal
of physical defects, such as bad tonsils
and infected teeth. 2. Malformation
extent by proper physical activities. g.
Defective vision oftentimes could be
prevented by exercise. 4. Under size
would not exist in many cases if there
were physical activity and proper in

arstion of food and the like. 5. Hernia
undoubtedly in the majority of cases
would be prevented by the develop
mont of abdominal muscles. 6. In
struction in care of the feet and the
selection Of shoes will prevent large
proportion of the hat feet"
The Legion's purpose is to raise the
general standard Of physical develop
ment as an essential feature Of the
nations future, Mr. Powell stated.
