LIFE SAVINGS GO.
 WHEN CABIN BURNS
Hermit Didn't Believe In Banks And Cached His
 Roll Under Floor

BELvIDIERE, N. J., Dec. 1.--Jo- seph Hull who lived alone, never had faith in banks, had been saving his money about his log cabin at Union- town for many years. Every week he put part of his salary away in the hiding place in the kitchen. under the floor near the chimney. He watched until it exceeded 5000. Each thousand was in a roll by it. self, bound with a rubber band. In a strong canvas bag were the silver and gold coins that he had not changed into bills.
 He counted the tenth roll of bills Thursday night and there was $1S4 in it. That was in addition to the other nine rolls, each totaling s1,00O He put the money back under the floor. He felt drowsy and, after fix ing the coal fire, sat in chair nearby to take a nap, but he slept longer than he intended and had neglected to look after the stove, which had become overloaded and set fire to the place.
 When Hull, who is more than 60 years of age. was finally awakened 1t was too late to reach the hiding place because the flames were there ahead of him. Neighbors. in re- sponse to Hulrs cries for the fire men. sent a call to Phillipsburg, three miles away, but before the apparatus reached the house the flames had de- stroyed it, together with Hulls life savings.

MORE AUXIL|AR|ES. IF LEGION URGED
Commander Peck Outlines New Provisions Regarding
 Legion Membership

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 1.-(Special Leased Wire.)-Formation of active units of the American Legion auxili- ary in every locality in Alabama where posts of the legion exists, is strongly advocated by the state de- partment commander, F. Taylor Peck of Mobile
 Auxiliaries have not yet been es tablished at all places in the state having posts of the American Legion. Commander Peck feels that every post will find the auxiliary units of great assistance, pointing out the valuable cooperation which the sis ter organization has extended the legion wherever chapters have been formed.
 National headquarters of the American Legion has also called the attention of legionnaires in general to the value of auxiliary units. After emphasizing the assistance the auxiliary can render to posts and de- partments of the legion, news let ter from national headquarters re- minds the legionnaires that 1t is worthy of note that the American Legion auxiliary will exist for many years after the last legionnaire has gone west" and. will perpetuate the name and greatness of the organiza- tion. For this reason, if for no other, legionnaries every where should recognize the dignified and honor able place which the American Le- zion auxiliary occupies in the plans and program of the American Legion.
 Membership Regulations.
 In a statement issued Saturday, att tention was called by Commander Peek to an amendment adopted to the constitution and bylaws of the A e~ip nual convention in San Francisco on the subject of membership eligibility.
 The amended section of article four, relating to the question of membership in the legion. reads as follows:
 Section T. any person shall be eligible for membership in the American Legion. who was regular ly enlisted, drafted or inducted or commissioned and who waS~accepted for and assigned to active duty in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States, at some time dur ing the period between April 6, 1917 inclusive. or who, being a citizen of the United States at the time of his entry therein and who now is or shall hereafter become a citizen of the United States and at the time of his entry therein served on ac- tive duty in the naval, military or air forces of any of the governments associated with the United States during the great war;
 Provided that no person shall be entitled to membership (a) who, being in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States during said period, refused on conscientious, political or other grounds, the sub- ject himself to military discipline or unqualified service or (b) who, being in such service, was separated there from under circumstances amount ing to dishonorable discharge and has not subsequently, been officially restored to an honorable status"
