ago the American people appeared per-
fectly convinced that the only way to
win true happiness and perpetuate
prosperity was to accuse, condemn
and Jail for life-if execution were
not legal-the heads Of the important
groups of industrial properties. Just
at that time, one of these men-one
of the most efficient but also, perhaps,
the one personally most obnoxious or
unpopular - committed one of his
gravest indiscretions. 1t concerned
the private use of deposits In national
banks; 1t was a federal offense of the
most patent and provable kind. He
was indicted. Considering the temper
of any possible jury at that time, there
was absolutely no alternative but to
believe the man under indictment
must spend many succeeding years, If
not the rest of his life, in the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta or Leaven-
worth.

TO COOPERATE WITH BUREAU
Legion Will Assist Veterans Branch In
Aiding Former Warriors Serving
Time In institutions.

The American Legion will cooperate
with the United States veterans bu-
reau in the extension of vocational
training and medical rehabilitation to
the $4,000 veterans of the World war
serving sentences in federal and state
penal institutions, Joe Sparks, chair
man Of the Legion's national rehabili-
tatiOn committee, has announced.
Veterans bureau officials believe
that there are many men now serving
sentences who may be unaware that
the bureau is interested in their we'll
being, and possibly others whose i'm
prisonment may be due to conditions
resulting from war service. Of the 49,
600 imprisoned, only about 1000 are
receiving benefits from the bureau.
Legion officials may be named by
courts as guardians for mentally dis
abled veterans under the proposed
plan. Many mentally incompetent ex-
service men are said to be suffering
from lack Of proper guardianship, and
their condition renders them incapable
of instituting court action in their
favor.
1t is probable that the new plan will
first be tried out in the federal prisons
at Atlanta, Leavenworth and Mcneil
Island, Seattle Veterans bureau ply
sicians, mental specialists and voca-
tional educators would be permitted
to survey the institutions to determine
the nature Of rehabilitation measures
to be taken. The plan may later in
clude parole Of prisoners under care
Of the American Legion or welfare or
CARNATIONS, while they could be sent
to vocational schools elsewhere If IA
cilities for such education were not
available at the penal institutions.

SAD WELCOME AWAITS THEM
Mother, Brother, Sweetheart, En- Route
From Europe Will Find Young
Soldier Dead.

Louis Kosmen is dead in a st. Paul,
Mimi. hospital.
From somewhere in Central Europe
an aged widowed mother, a dark
haired lass of nineteen and a lad of
fourteen recently started on a long
awaited journey to far-off America to
rejoin the son, sweetheart and big
brother, believed to be ready to greet
them after years Of separation.
For eighteen long years Louis Kos
men had pursued the blue bird of hap
piness. Through prosperity and pow
erty, on battlefelds and in hospitals
he had followed, always with the
dream that some day he would be able
to send for the loved ones to come to
him in the promised land of America.
At last Kosmen believed he could
see the fulfillment of his dreams.
Through the aid Of his American Lee
gion pals with whom he had served in
the World war, the red tape of gov
eminent immigration regulations had
been cut and he had cabled word to
the waiting loved ones that they
should come to him in his American
home. The lines of fatigue faded from
his toil-worn face and the discouraged
droop disappeared from his shoulders
as he thought of seeing once more his
mother and little brother and his prom
Used bride.
Then came illness. The doctor told
him that disease contracted while serv-
ing in the American army during the
war would necessitate an operation.
Recently he went onto the operating
table. The next day he was dead.
When but lad of fifteen, Kosmen,
heir Of once wealthy and influential
Albanian family, had been sent to
Greece to escape the Turks. His father
was killed by them. Before he left he
was betrothed, according to the Gus
tom of his country, to baby Aspasia
Gerdan. In following years he fought
the Turks, served in their prisons, was
wounded, escaped and finally came to
the United States where he set to work
to build up a comfortable home for his
remaining loved ones. III fortune pur-
sued him. After accommodating consid-
cradle money he lost it in a business
venture Then America, the land of
his adoption, entered the war and he
followed the flag to the front.
In spite Of broken health from the
military service he had set at work
once more to- build up fortune for his
family and believed his ambition was
attained when death claimed him.

of the Vegetable Compound. These
women speak from the fullness of their

they can their conditions: First, those
symptoms that affected them most con-

of those symptoms. They are sincere ex-
pressions of gratitude. For nearly fifty

Pills and salts give temporary relief

In perfect health a natural lubricant

But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because it

SOME CARS FOR

cars. OF which moro than 1900 100
were in use In this country jan

According 10 figures OF the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce. there are $500, 900 automo-
biles in use in the United States; a
conservative estimate. therefore.
shows that one out OF every seven

The chamber furthr estimates
that passenger cars carry approx
mately 700O.O00,0Oo passengers an
nually; that 90 per cent. OF all cars
are used more or less for business
purposes; and that 60 per cent. OF
tho total mileage is for business
purposes only.
General Motors cars. then. are
carrying 1 200, 10000 passengers an
