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

Decentralization of service work
undertaken by the American Legion
will be carried out by the use of a
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 win 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 win 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

RADIO is USED BY LEGION
Widespread Membership Of Veterans
Organization Reached by Ma
tio1al 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 TAX
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 broadcastlng of
National Commander Alvin Owsley's
''keynote speech" from Lincoln, Neb.
This was heard by Legionnalres 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 q
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 Legionnalres 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 a
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 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 MEN
One Hundred and Thirty Auxiliary

pared by members Of the American

The cookies are sent to the chief
dIetitian of each hospital and she
places them in big Jars in the cerri-

the disabled men come from every
ward, on clutches, IN wheel chairs, and
with canes rapping the floor, eager to
get a hand in the jar.
Nurses say the boys reach around
