HASTEN HANDLING OF CLAIMS
Decentralization of Legion Service
Work viii Be Carried Out on
Joe Sparks Plan.

Decentralization Of service work
undertaken by the American Legion
will be carried out by the use Of
plan put into effect by Joe Sparks, ma
tional chairman of the committee Of
the Legion. This plan, Mr.. Sparks be-
lieves, will expedite the handling Of
claims referred to the Legion, and will
draw quick action on the part Of the
veterans bureau.
Under the new system, all claims
coming to the attention of the nation
al service division will be forwarded
direct to the Legion department serv-
ice office in the state in which the
claim originates.
Contact with the subdistrict offices
of the United States veterans bureau
will be maintained by these officers
and the offices which have jurisdic-
ton over the claims presented will be
regularly visited. Any inattention or
lack of cooperation by veterans bu-
reau heads will be reported to the
national service division.
If for any reason a claim Is not set
tied satisfactorily by the subdistrict
office, the department head will refer
to the liaison representative Of the
American Legion at the district office
Of the veterans bureau. Files in the
majority of the cases are in the office
of the district In which the veteran
lives.

RADIO Is USED BY LEGION
Widespread Membership of Veterans
Organization Reached by Ma
tional and State Officials.

The voice of the American Legion
Is being heard over the radio by mem
berS Of the organization throughout
the country. Almost daily some Off
Ger or Legion leader talks to the wide
spread membership Of the veterans
association using the wireless tele-
phone as the means of dissemination.
This Is made possible by the installa.
ton Of hundreds of receiving sets in
the homes Of local Legion posts
throughout the country.
In practically every post may be
found some ex-service man who
worked with the wireless telephone
through the days Of the war, or who
has become an ardent fan since the
broadcasting Of regular programs
came into vogue. officers of the Lee
gion recognize this fact and are talk
ing advantage Of the closer touch af-
forded them by means of the latest
miracle"
One of the first instances Of this
use by officers was the broadcasting OF
National Commander Alvin Owsley'S
'keynote speech" from Lincoln, Neb-
This was heard by Legionnaires all
over the country, some as far away
as the Atlantic coast.
State department commanders in
many instances are beginning to make
use of this method to reach their men,
bers, many urging the installation Of
receiving sets for this purpose.
In the future further use of the
radio is planned. The Decoration day
address of Commander Owsley in San
Francisco is to be sent out by a
powerful station so that Legionnaires
In the West may hear the commander
at this time. At Kansas City, Mo-,
when a new Legion home was dedi-
Gated, Commander Owsley's talk was
heard by Legionnaires of five states,
who were asked to "stand by at spe-
cial meetings to hear the Legion leader
Followers of radio, who are active
in the Legion, predict that within
short time all official utterances Of
national officers of the eX-service
mems organization will be relayed by
radio to the more than three-quarter
of a million members throughout the
United States. And because Of the
power of many of the broadcasting
stations, Legionnaires in other climes
may soon be listening in" on what
their comrades at home in the states
are doing.

COOKIES FOR DISABLED MEM
One Hundred and Thirty Auxiliary
Units of Kansas Make Regular
Donations to Hospitals.

A cookie-jar containing 1920 cook
les should satisfy the most ravenous
appetite.
That's the number of cookies pre-
pared by members of the American
Legion Auxiliary Of Kansas for dis
abled veterans in hospitals at Kansas
City and Leavenworth. There are 40
units of the Auxiliary in Kansas. Each
unit prepares and mails II dozen cook
les to the hospitals every month.
The cookies are sent to the chief
dietitian of each hospital and she
places them in big jars in the corri-
doris. When the cookie jar Is set out,
the disabled men come from every
ward, on crutches, in wheel chairs, and
with canes rapping the floor, eager to
get a hand in the jar.
Nurses say the boys reach around
the jar until they find the cookies
with nuts on them and fruit chopped
ap on the inside. The old-fashioned
Sat sugar cookies do not seem to Be
popular.

REVOLUTION ROBS
 AMERICAOF FIRST
 WOMAN DIPLOMAT
Girl Of 25 Had Been Picked As Member Of Bulgarian
 Legation

LONDON. June 16.-(By Associated Press.)-The Bulgarian revolution will rob Washington of It's first woman diplomat from Europe. She Is Miss Nadejda Stanciof. who Is act ing minister of Bulgaria to Great Britain.
 Former Premier stamboulisky had ricked the talented young woman to represent Bulgaria at Washington as first secretary of the legation, but the downfall of the peasant ministry at Sofia will alter her plans.
 Miss Stanciof. who Is just past 25 years of age. Is one of the most striking figures in European dlplo- matic life. She Is already well known at all international conferences and acted as personal representative of Stamboulisly. This week she became the focus of all eyes because of the upheaval in Sofia.
 In the absence of her father, Dr. Dimitri Stanciof, who Is at Lausanne she has been called upon to handle the difficult questions arising from the dramatic collapse Of the govern ment.
 "I should like to remain in Eng land" said Miss Stanciof. but I am afraid the revolutionary government will ask my recall. It is true that I was secretary and confidant to Stamboulisky. but that did not pre- vent me from observing a strictly neutral attitude on all questions con- corning my country. After all. I am only a girl and did what seemed in the best interests of Bulgaria. If l lose my position, I may turn my hand to writing for the American and British newspapers"

ENG|NEE URGES HOUR DAY FUR STEEL WORkMEN
Mortimer E. Cooley Says E: Workingman Must Have
 More Leisure
Mortimer E. Cooley. successor of

Mortimer E. Cooley, successor of
 Herbert Hoover as president of the
 Federated American Engineering So
 cieties and dean of tho engineering .rschool of the University of Mlchi- ; gan. predicts the early advent of the
 ssight-hour day in the steel indus
 try of the United States. In a re-
 tent report submitted to the socie- tfties in New York. MT. Cooley made : ;tiie following statement on the ecight-hour day:
 f,fore leisure-his right as a civilized 4ebeing. Industry must be so organ ,ized that he must be able to work his eight hours a day. He must Nave more time to spend with his
 family, so that opportunity for the
 improvement of domestic relations
 may be afforded. He must have
 greater opportunity for companion ship with his children and friends. He must have time for healthy recre-
 9tion so that a sound mind may be " developed in a sound body Citizen P ship and democracy demand these
 things.
 -.. This engineering disclosure shows
 is not ill spent. When given more
 leisure the average working man does not abuse it. The evidence is i. eonclusive that the extra time Of
 the men under the shorter W0fkl1lS
 day is used to good advantage. Often
 it ia spent in gardening, truck farm
 f1ig and in doing odd jobs about the
 house that would have to be paid
 for or not done at all. The three
 shift system gives every man
 chance to enjoy his church and his , 1famuy OH Sunday
 T Neither does the leisure permitted ,nby the eight-hour day make the man ,,s4a shirker or develop laziuess when if.i5. comes to his job. On the contrary. .athe effect of the eieht-hour as com n nared with tho 12-hour shift, on op- 9eration, on the quantity and quality eef production. on absenteeism and r8r.d ustrial accidents, has been satis- gdactory where good management iand co-operation with labor have
 been secured. In practically every major continuous industry there are ,..ss33ssants which have increased the [ quantity of production per man as ] much as 20 per cent. 1n few eX- ceptional cases the increase has been { much higher. Evidence shows also an improvement in quality of pro ductiou following the reduction Ill \ the length of shifts.
 America lags behind the rest of the world in adopting the eight-hour ! day. The tendency throughout other { industrial countries is in favor of the eight-hour shift.
 ''The shorter day must necessarily 7 result in greater industry better : working men, better citizens, better husbands. better fathers and happier fireSides."

oUT-CRITICs CRITICS
English Opera Patron, Bankrupt, As-
 sails Music And Drama

English Opera Patron, Bankrupt, As-
 sails Music And Drama
 LONDON, June 16.-(By Associated Press. )--Sir Thomas Beecham, the millionaire English grand opera pa tron who went into bankruptcy at tempting to restore the opera here to its pre-war glory, butterflies the critics in diagnosing the sad case of modern music, which, like the drama, he says, is in q very bad way.
 At the annual dinner of the critics circle Sir Thomas described himself as scared veteran of music who If he really thought there was some common music policy or demand that could be maintained for about two or three consecutive seasons, might se- riously consider hoisting his flag to champion musical productions again.
 Never in the history of music has there been so little good music writ ten or so much bad music written and performed" bewailed Sir Thom- as. 'We have never before struck such a really rotten patch of music. Composers-there are none; singers very few; nstrumentalists-a few, Orchestras are almost nonresident"
 In closing his whimsical sat.rical talk, Sir Thomas said that about the only thing he was sure of was that he could meet the critics on common ground.

CANT STRIKE" LAW
Colorado Supreme Court UpholdS
 Drastic Provision

DENVER, June 16.-The state su- preme court has upheld the Colorado can t-strike" provision which makes 1t illegal for anyone to urge others to strike without giving the state commission 30 days notice.
 The court set aside a decision by Districr Judge Cornforth of Colorado Springs, who dismissed a complaint against a representative of the United Mine Workers, who was charged with melting miners to strike" without giving the required 30 days notice. The supreme court held that the complaint was legal. The miners epresentative cannot be retried, but the state supreme court has made valuable contribution to big business by ruling that it is illegal to urge d strike until 30 days notice is given The Colorado "can't-strike" law ap- plies to all industries and callings.
