enjoyment of life--a matter of con-
venience and not of necessity.
The barefooted 1s-year-old boy,
with the freckles which the Tapping
straw hat which he wears has not
been able to prevent, pulls his horses
to a stop at the end of the long rows
of corn which he is cultivating, to
glance curiously at the passing mo-
torist. The man in the motor car, If
he be from the city. probably feels
a tinge of pity, shaded with q Sigh.
sensation of superiority. when he conf
pares himself withsthe boy on the Gull
tivator. But It is a safe bet that his
superiority is misplaced. The boy on
the cultivator probably can drive a
motor car better than the city man.
And the city man would ruin forty
acres of corn IL he triNd to take COM
cultivator, which the boy handles with
nonchalance and unconscious ease.
Most people probably thought that
the factories which used to manufac-
ture cotton stockings for women, away
back before the war, had gone out of
business. A pretty comprehensive and
accurate census of the hosiery of the
present day can be taken on Kansas
avenue any Time, and it would reveal
but few pairs Of cotton hose. The cot
ton hose attract more attention now
than the slithery silk ones did, some
years ago. But they are still being
manufactured. Casual motoring will
show where they are all going. They
are worn in the small towns. and they
are as generously displayed by the
female of the species there as is the
silken article of her city sister.
The municipality of Perry. some
miles east of Topeka on the Golden
Belt, has an !mpertinent sign at the
city limits, warning motorists that
the legal speed limit within the city
is twelve miles per hour. The
sign is not only impertinent but I'M
necessary. No motorist could drive
faster than that without wrecking
his car on the first half-bfock of
Perry's streets.
A two-hour drive starting from the
state house grounds in Topeka. will
show the tourist three buildings
which are used or have been used as
the capitol building of the state of
Kansas. At Tecumseh there is a
first capitol" and at Lecompton
there is another one.
No, it is not hard to get interested
in the things enc sees il short auto
mobile jaunts near the city of To-
peka, provided one isn't too intelli-
gent, and isn't too hard to interest. A
good long session on the pavements
and away from the country roads, is q
distinct aid, too, to the appreciation
of the scenery and the people which a
little gasoline AMI rubber and a few
scraps of tin, will make available.

\LEGG1ON)

One thousand uniformed members
of the American Legion will assist the
police in handling the 10000 visitors
expected at the American Legion ma
tional convention in New Orleans next
October, according to plans an
nounced by Police Superintendent
Molony.
The Legionnaires will aid the police
in regulating the large crowds throng-
ing the parade route and will serve
as provost guards in the business Sec
ton. A former army officer proba-
bly, will be placed in charge of the
provost guard force.
During a recent trip to Kansas City,
superintendent Molony investigated
conditions prevailing in that city dur
ing last years Am erican Legion con-
vention. He discovered that city and
police officials of Kansas City were
the $4,000 visiting ex-service men
conducted themselves.
As proof that the men did nothing
distasteful, Superintendent Molony
said Kansas City officials would well
come the opportunity to have the or
ganization again choose Kansas City
as their convention city. In fact.
Kansas City endeavored to have this
years convention held there.
John Thomas Taylor, vice-chair-
man, national legislative committee
of the American Legion, has answered
attacks on adjusted compensation as
follows:
"In it's latest attack upon adjusted
compensation for world war veterans
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States quotes statistics to show
that non-serVice workers received
wage increases during the war period
of from II to so per cent, and uses
these figures in an effort to minimize
the financial handicap suffered by the
soldiers because of their services. The
Chamber admits, however. that in ship
building yards. and a very few special
trades, there were unusual total
monthly wages paid.
THE Chambers argument upon this
question is unique, for it fails to COM
prehend that the financial handicap
suffered by the soldier was not the
difference between the war wage and
the pre-war wage, but actually was
the difference between the war wage
quoted by the Chamber and the $50 4
month received by the soldier while
he wore the uniform.
LAS another argument against ad-
justed COMPENSATION, the Chamber
states that Secretary Mellon estimates
a deficit approaching $500, 100000 for
the next fiscal year. This same old
cry of wolf has been emanating
from the treasury perennially. The
Chamber seems to have forgotten that
only last December the secretary esti-
mated the deficit would be $25,00o.-
OOO Hnen the DOCKS were
closed on July 1, instead of the pre-
dicted deficit, there was a surplus of
$313. 100000.
THE spectre of frozen Credits is
also revived by the Chamber, as an
argument against the banks lending a
few millions 10 needy soldiers on their
proposed adjusted service certificates.
With Wall Street lending billions for
new financing, and permanent easy
money in sight the frozen credits
For Ne,
are going to foreign countries
The adjusted compensation bill
which passed the lower house by 4
vote of 333 to 10. will shortly become
a law. Sixty-seven of the IS senators
have stated in writing that they will
vote favorably upon it"
