SCHEMES TO COLLECT DUES
Novel Methods Are Being Employed
to Induce Legion Members to
Pay 1922 Assessment.

Novel means employed by American
Legion posts to get in membership
dues early in 1922 are causing COM
ment in every community where a
post Ia located, according to reports
to Legion national headquarters in In
dianapolis.
Around the top Of the list is the
story from South Dakota. A post is
offering each service men who pays
his dues before a set date biscuit
baked by the newest bride in the
post women's auxiliary. Three Of the
biscuits being distributed contain
cash prizes in coin-S20, $40 and IS
In gold. The biscuits may not be
broken open until the night Of the post
banquet when they will serve as cards
Of admission. Early recipients Of bis
cults declared they could not Judge
from their weight whether they con-
tained gold pieces or bricks. 4
Out in Kansas a post gave its
finance officer carte blanche in collect
ing 1922 dues early. A few mornings
later Legionnaires were being routed
out of bed at 4 a. m. by members Of
the committee who refused to let the
slumberer 60 back to bed until he had
paid up. The various state depart
ments Of the Legion are in hot con-
test for the honor of being the first
to send in the complete dues 'of the
membership.

Bertrand served as an infantryman
in the French army from the beginning
Of the war to its close. He was wound

others and took to flight. Cunningham

Steel Barrels.

If the statements of the makers are
well founded, It is probable that steel
barrels will eventually take the place
Of wooden ones. The steel barrel is
composed of slaves of that material
locked together by an ingenious de.
vice; the hoops and heads are also
Of steel. It Is claimed that the steel
barrel is more durable and more com.
pact than the wooden one. AS it 10
said to be lighter and cheaper, it has
already had favor in various quarters.
About 300.OO0,0O0 barrels are needed
annually In normal times. to supply
the demand in the United States.
Flour mills use about 90.OOOOOO, the
sugar industry 100000, and the
cement industry 75OOO, 600. Christian

At a recent electrical exposition q
mystic stove" attracted no little at
tention. This idea is by no means
new; in fact, in one of its most spec
tacular forms it consists Of a kettle
of water boiling on cake of ice. The
solution of such mysteries is powerful
magnetic induction, which causes the
generation of powerful electric current
In the pot, pan or kettle. The layman
is, Of course, greatly mystified, since

Plans to train the standing Army
so that its members may be trans
formed into a mechanical army" in
tfons as seriously to menace the in.
dustrial activitie OF the country were
revived today.
1t is understood that serious con-
sideration is being given to such a
scheme. which would involve the
train training Of every buck private; devil
capacity, SO that each soldier would
have another trade beside that of
a soldier.
Only Hours Notice Needed.
Thus an "army Of peace" could
pc thrown into the industrial field
by the federal government at an
pared to make or repair locomotive
wheels. mine coal, or do any one of
the thousand or more things done in
industry.
With the hundred thousand mem
trained in such fashion, those behind
the plan believe that the govern
ment would be fully capable of cop
ing with any crisis that might arise.
There are now In the Army many
men fully trained in one or more of
the mechanical trades. but these
would only be a handful. it is real
ized. and could not. to any material
extent, help in a general strike situa-
tion.
Plan Training Schools.
Installation Of regular training
schools would be necessary, it is held.
in order to allow for the careful
training Of all the men in the Army.
When trained. thus a labor reserve
would be formed in the active mill
tary service. from which the men
could be detailed.
Thus the sight Of a man in khaki
at the throttle Of transcontinental
train would be no unusual sight dur
ing the course Of great strike
which tended to cripple the entire
transportation system Of the country.
The soldiers would be under orders.
Of course. and would wear their uni
lorna and carry their weapons. 1t
is believed .het such men on duty,
not as strikebreaKers. but under or
ders of their government, would
hardly be interfered with by strikers.

the prosecution of war fraud cases in

tary Of War Williams on Friday. Octo-
Der s, 1920, and stated that his company
would put in a bid upwards OF $4,000

open until the following Monday. The
evidence before the congressional CON-
mittee also showed that Gen. Clarence c.
Williams. chief of ordnance, on the re-
port OF Col Dwight K. Shurtlef. chief

the rejection OF all bids. Notwithstand-
ing this situation E c. Morse, director
