CENSUS OF EX-SERVICE MEN
Five Million Questionnaires to Be Used
in Obtaining Views on compen-
sation Drive.

A nationwide census Of ex-service
men will be taken by the American
Legion. Five million questionnaires
have been printed for use In the Le-
gion's service and compensation"
drive, which will aim toward the COM
pilation of vital statistics and which
should afford a definite indication of
the exact cost of providing compensa-
tion to all veterans.
The various state organizations OF
the Legion will conduct their drives
separately, and at their own date.
Every man interviewed by the census
taker will be informed of the Ave OPP
tions Of the pending compensation bill
and be asked to signify his attitude
toward the measure and his choice OF
the five features. He will also record
whether he was ever wounded, gassed,
or suffered an injury in service. AS
sistance will be provided in filing CON-
pensatiOn claims, and all ex-sOldlers
will be urged to carry government In
surance.
The Legion's plan for rotating loan
fund will be explained, and every man
interviewed will be asked whether he
would be willing to turn over his com.
pensatiOn toward such fund for the
relief Of needy service men.

perintendent at the Camp Custer hos

In 1914 Miss Weyhing went to Ser

labored there increasingly amid terri

was made chief nurse of Base Hospital

Steel That Will Not Rust.

Noncorroslve steel was maGe for
use In stamp mills at least forty years
ago. Some Of these parts are still In
use In the Rocky mountain mining dis
tricts. Originally chromium was used
solely. because 1t hardened and tough
ened the steel. so that Its tensile
strength became tenfold. Steel stems
from stamp mills that had lain In the
weather over thirty years did not
show any signs Of rust or corrosIon.
Since chromium was first used COM
merclally various new hardening proc
esses with new alloys have been
brought out, such as molybdenum.
manganese. tungsten, vanedium and so
forth. All of these will greatly add to
the tensile strength Of steel but none
has been found that will cause steel
to resist oxidation and even corrOsion
from salt water and the like as sue
cessfully as chrome-nickel alloy pro-
vided the proper percentage Of each
is used.

an organization which promises to be-
come one Of the leading Legion units
Of the Empire state.
Named for Stewart Whiting Hoover,
the first officer from West Point to
make the supreme sacrifice in the war,
the post was organized in 1920 by en-.

Is also sergeant-Joseph' Grady-and
he claims credit for having built up

times rioted harmlessly about the
streets of the town. In the evenings
they visited their fellows and brethren
and were visited in turn; horseplay
prevailed, but collegiate gossip had Its
turn, and sometimes they looked so

plans for professions or business

1t was always Fred who did most Of
the talking; Ramsey was quiet. Fred
told the frat seniors" that Ramsey
was developing a whole lot these
days." and he told Ramsey himself
that he could see "big change" In
him, adding that the improvement was
probably due to Ramsey's having
passed through terrible trials like
that debate
Ramsey kept to their rooms more
than his comrade did, one reason for
this domesticity being that he "had
to study longer than Fred did, to keep
up" and another reason may have
been a greater shyness than Fred pos
sessed-if, indeed, Fred possessed any
shyness at all. For Fred was a CHEEKY

coming Of spring knew all Of the best
