NOTHING IS o. important as
Az the meeting Of scientists
and their discussions at Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,. I'm,
fortunately, not one American
in . hundred will know what
was said or done at the con-
vention.
Last Thursday the wise men
discussed the possibility Of get
ting carbon from the air.
We dig in the ground for coal
to make steam and electricity.
We send away down to South
America for nitrates-fertiliz-
ers.
Above Us in the air there is
carbon by the billions Of tons,
enough to last forever, and
nitrogen in quantities unlimited.
WE ALREADY KNOW some
w thing about getting nitro
gen from the air and probably
shall soon have solved that
problem on a big commercial
basis. Henry Ford says he
can do it now, If the Govern
pent will let him take Muscle
Shoals.
How to get from the air car
bon to use in our furnaces we
don't know yet; but that will
be discovered in time.
VOU CAN EVEN imagine a
world congress in the future
to limit the weakening and
depicting of the atmosphere by
taking out too much carbon and
nitrogen for use here on the
ground.
All the money the Rockefel-
lers and Rothschilds ever
dreamed about is like the wild
ow's mite compared with un-
told billions that float in the
air above you.
THE SCIENTISTS study and
= discuss everything, big and
little. When one man has fin
ished his discourse on the pos
ability of taking power and
fertilizer from the air, another

Another brings the bad news
that the Grand Canyon of the

nificent curiosity will have
disappeared. But don't worry;

now to your descendants of a

Grave stones were over turned and the cemetery chapel as we'll as several nearby houses were wrecked. A great hole was torn in the earth and the French were buried be- meath the debris.
 The explosion was followed by in tense excitement which was heighten- ed by the accusation Of the French that they were victims of a plot. The Inter-Allied control commission has ordered Gleiwitz into public mourn ing.
 Gen. I-erond, French Chief of the Inter-Allied commission witnessed the explosion. Later he ordered an invest igation to determine if the munitions had been hidden by Germans or Poles. All the Theatres and moving picture theatres have been closed.

In addition, in the larger communi- ties, there is extra expense for inves tigating cases; this is due to the great number of cases and brings the total up to between $500 and $500. This amount does not include a salary for the Treasurer of the Legion who serves without one.
 All the above expenses have been approved by the Board of Control and in the last report of the State Auditors a statement was made to the effect could be suggested.
 When one stops to consider the amount of work Involved, they will readily see that the expenses are comparatively small. The Legion has men in about seventy communi- ties who serve without pay and whose duty is to investigate claims and report with recommendations to the Treasurer'S office who, in turn re-surveyS the case and makes final decision and payment. If this meth cd were not followed there would not be enough money to go around and some might be receiving aid who were not as needy as some others.
 The plan for raising the money re- quired Is to allot to each Post of the Legion quota based on population and then leave to that Post the plan for raising its quota. The New Ha- ven Post presented their case to the Chamber of Commerce of their town and that body referred the matter to a committee who. after investigat approved the whole scheme and the Chamber of Commerce voted to raise S3.OOO.
 This has already been done. They felt that the obligation of taking care of disabled veterans was not on the service man but one for the com munity at large.
 The action of the New Haven Cham Der Is typical of other organizations and individuals when they have been informed the true facts of the mat ter. It is unfortunate that any one should have lost sight of the good work being done by challenging by a technicality the intent of the law
 The American Legion stands ready to answer any questions asked in good faith in regard to the work. Guar terly reports are made to the Board of Control, containing full informa- ton as to the disposition of the Fund i: and in addition weekly reports are re- quired by the State Comptroller mak- ing total of ffty-six, (56), reports furnished yearly.
 We offer the plan for your consid- eration and request your help. both moral and financial. in putting over the campaign

Legion Obliged To Secure Funds
 From The Public
Injunction Against Ser vicemen's Organiza- ton Forces Vets to Ap- peal to Public for Money to Aid the Needy.

The American Legion Of this state
 through it's executive committee, has
 authorized the following statement:
 A campaign has been started by The
 American Legion of this state to raise
 funds with which to administer the
 State Aid Fund for disabled and
 needy veterans. This State Aid Fund
 was created aby the Legislature and due to the fact that the act creating
 the Fund did not specifically state
 were to be taken from the Fund, cer-
 tain individuals have seen fit to ques-
 tion what was certainly the intent of
 cured an injunction restraining the
 administrators of the Fund from spending money for what have been
 approved as legitimate expenses.
 On account of this injunction The
 American Legion, which is the agent
 of the trustees of the Fund, Is now compelled to go to the citizens of this State and ask them to contribute money to administer the Fund so that those men who are not as fortunate
 as others may secure the aid which the Legislature intended they should receive, but which they could not get if the Legion's work is dropped. If these unfortunate men would be cared for if The Legion gave up the
 distribution of the Fund, then the latter might have had a choice as to its course, but, due to the wording of the act creating the Fund, if the | Legion gives up the handling of the Fund it ceases to exist until the next session of the Legisla ture. Hence, as one of the aims of the Legion is | service to it's comrades, there was but one course to take and that was to raise money and carry on the work. | The injunction proceedings have | been carried to the Supreme Court l of the State and there is liable to 1 be some delay in securing a decision l from the court, the Legion has fgur- ed on a basis of enough money to l last until the next session of tn | Legislature in January. The amount required is S10,000. The present average monthly expense is between 1 $500 and $500 and is made up as fol-
