AMERICAN
LEGEON
LEGION AN AID TO FARMERS
Employment Bureau Operated in South
Dakota Supplied Men During
Harvest Season.

An American Legion employment
bureau, operated in South Dakota dur
ing the harvest season, is regarded as
having been enc of the most effective
checks in the spread of q w. W."-ism
in the North and West. Through the
services of the Legions bureau hun
dreds of men known to be of non-radi-
cal tendencies were sem to the farm
ers Of the Dakotas to obtain work, the
radical type staying away from the
Leglons employment agents.
The bureau was instituted by the
Sidney L. Smith post of the Legion at
Aberdeen, 5. d. Service was rem
dered for a period of eight weeks, dur
ing which time the Legion placed $50
men of LOO registering, without cost.
In some instances these men were
sent 200 miles from the agency to a
farmer who had turned to the Legion
TO obtain reliable help in harvesting
his big crops.
But service did not stop with jobs
alone. Many of the men arrived at
the Legion tents, broke" hungry and
dirty. The Legion men provided 500
men with meals. gave lodging to 400
men, and arranged for large num-
Der TO receive free shower baths. Odd
jobs were found for large number
to fill in until farm employment would
be obtained.
Local police regarded slip from
the American Legion employment bu-
reau as sufficient evidence that the
man was all right, but those who did
not have the Legion cards were usual
ly told to move on. The project was
given endorsement of federal, state
and municipal authorities.

LEGION is AFTER PROMOTERS
Commission to Put Lid on
Fake Bouts.

Boxing and wrestling promoters
who have been using the name of the
American Legion posts to gain attend
ance for shady" meets and bouts,
will be at a disadvantage in Georgia,
because of the establishment Of a
Legion boxing commission.
Inscriptions promoters often IN
duce the Legion men to stage a bout
under their auspices, fighters failing
to show up. or promoters mulcting the
public Of their money by fake bouts.
leaving the Legion men to face def
cts and an unenviable reputation In
the community.
At the last department convention
of the Legion. a commission was au-
thorized TO supervise all bouts held by
the Legion posts n the state. This
body. composed Of three Legionnaires.
will operate on plans similar to those
established by laws In various states.
A registry fee will be charged to
each boxer participating and a license
exacted for each show. Boxing pro-
moters VIII be required to pay an
nually fee several times that
charged the fighters. A representative
Of the commission VIII be present at
every bout sponsored by the Legion to
adiudicate contests among posts, pro-
moters and fighters.

every night. The constant appeal
Congressman Andrew made to Ameri-
cans for establishment Of ambulance
sections resulted in the creation of the
American Field Service with headquav-
ters at Neuilly. Congressman An
drew was named in charge of the or
ganization.
When Americans left the ambulance
service to join the army, Andrew
formed number Of "camion sections"
to deliver ammunition. Entering the
army, he received the rank of lieuten.
ant-colonel.
Named as first commander of the
Gloucester post of the American
Legion, Andrew obtained permission
of the city government to utilize the
old town hail for a Legion home, and
made it a museum OF the great war.
He led a movement to commemorate
the war dead Of Gloucester with a
Joan of Arc monument, which is
unique in that the base is formed of
stones taken from every building in
France sacred to the memory of the
patriotic girl lie also served as first
vice commander of the Massachusetts
department in 1919-1920.
Congressman Andrew has been Of
vital assistance to the Legion in its
fight for compensation. In defense Of
this measure he has said:
THE measure before the house Of
fers to our veterans not only a just
and fair, if long overdue reward, but
also a reward that has been framed
upon the principles Of helping the
benefciaries to help themselves, which

PLANT TREES ALONG ROADS
Entire Stretch of Sixty Miles Of Paved
Highway in New Jersey to Be
Beautified.

Identifying New Jersey highways nv
planting shade trees, started wears asa
in scattered districts by individual Of
forts, has been given considerable sim.
illus by the Endorsement Of the uew
state highway commission and Wya-
ems organizations in different counties
The movement, an Outgr0wth of the
World war memorial idea, is for utiltg
as well as beauty. The trees Will
serve as guard rails along HIGHWAYS
leading to the sea.
Camden county is given credit for
the most ambitious scheme Of tree
planting. Through the movement, orig.
mated by women's clubs. the entire
stretch of 60 miles of paved highway
from the Delaware river to the Allan
tic on the White Horse pike route
is to be beautified
At the present time beautiful shaded
highways are to be found in sections
of Salem and Gloucester counties
where most Of the trees were planted
more than fifty years ago. The plan.
as favored by the state department OF
forestry, entails cooperation on the
part of communities and counties in
the systematic planting Of trees.
1t has been suggested that different
Kinds of trees be planted on different
highways. Instead of being ident,aeI
by numbers, the state routes eventual
ly might be known as Maple, Elm or
Spruce routes.
Cherry, apple and other fruit trees
have been planted in double rows for
short distances on some Of the roads.
This idea has met with approval by in.
diyiduals, who say 1t carries out IN 4
fashion the italian idea Of having
grapes growing along the public ways
Dogwood has added variety in some
rural sections; and a big land owner
has planted chestnut trees along one
of the roads.
Road experts say shaded highways
last longer. as the trees protect the
pavement from the deterioration Of In
tense heat in summer and serve as
windbreaks to keep the roads clear Of
snow in winter. Drainage also is I'M

AND MONEY SECURED THROUGH BREACH OF
PROMISE SUITS ARE SUBJECT TO u. S. INCOME TAX

Did you receive alimony during
the yenr 1929? We're you success
full in u breach of promise suit en-
tered against a former admirer?
Personal questions. very. but i'm
portant to those to whom they ap-
ply in the preparation Of an income
tax return for the year 1922.
Amounts received alimony are
not taxable income. Such pay
ments do not have to be included
in the income tax retur OF the per-
son receiving them. nor may they
be deducted from the gross income
Of the person paying them. In
this respect, payment of alimony
may be likened 10 a personal or
living expense. which is not deduct
ible. However, a woman who has
won n breach OF promise case. or
has accepted out OF court a settle
ment as heart balm. must include
the amount in her income tax re-
turn. The Bureau OF Internal
Revenue has ruled in such cases
that the noun received sis not
to be regarded as a return OF capt.
tai. since the benefits Of which the
injured party was deprived were
merely anticipatory."
Members OF a labor union may
deduct as q business expense dues
paid to such organizations during
the year 1922. Such dues are held
by the Bureau to be necessary ex-
penses incident to the earning Of
their wages. A member Of a labor
union who, while on strike. receives
payment from an organization must
include in his income for the year
such items.
The taxpayer who in 1s22 re-
covered damages for defamation of
personal character need not include
in his return such amount.
