Charles ii. Muir, who commanded the
Twenty-eighth division, in which Col
onel Thompson commanded a bat
TALON, decorated the Pennsylvania Lee
gion leader at Washington. Previous
to the ceremony Colonel Thompson
was entertained at luncheon by the
Pennsylvania delegation in congress.
The citation for the Congressional
medal came to Colonel Thompson as a
result of an act Of valor in action neal
Apremont. France, October l.. 1918.
Concentrated by two regiments
of Germans, Colonel Thompson, then
a major Of the One Hundred and
Tenth infantry. encouraged his bat
TALON in the front line by constantly
Drawing the hazardous fire of machine
guns and artillery. His courage was
mainly responsible for the heavy re-
pulse Of the enemy.
Later In action. when the advance
of his assaulting companies was held
up by fire from a hostile machine-gun
nest n all but one of the assaulting
tanks were disabled, Colonel Thomp-
son. rushed forward on foot three sep
arate times In advance of his line, I'M

tank to within a few yards of the
enemy m~achine-gun nest. The tank

Grams Bureau Must Deal With
District Officers.

Ex-service men who have business
"a have been advised to transact
their affairs with the district officers.
Recently former service men have
been going to Washington at the rate
Of 100 q week with the expectation
that they could accomplish more there
than they could accomplish through
divisional headquarters.
In some cases the former soldiers
have walked long distances In order
to get to Washington. Recently one
man made the trip from Baltimore to
Washington on crutches.
Washington posts Of the American
Legion look out for the veterans who
come with small means, or no means
at all. but these posts are now find
ing their insufficient to TAKE
care Of all the demands made on
them.
A pathetic feature OF the situation
II that the former soldiers from out
side the Washington district learn that
they will have to transact their busi-
ness In the district In which they live.

Yaqui looked back no more. Mer-

Gale saw the creeping line Of pur-

A level line above marked the rim

toiled the cavalcade, still very slowly
advancing. At last Yaqui reached the

There will be an iron stairway built, and the whole

Thus, it is expected Faneuil Hall may be preserv-
ed for untold generations in appearance very much
it when it resounded to the voices of George Wash
ington Daniel Webster and many another bygone cele-
brIty of American history.
The preservation of such ancient memorial by
the most modern methods is good example for other
American communities to follow. There has always
been tendency in this country to tear down old build
ngs merely because they old, in disregard of their
romantic and historic interest
The craze for modernity in architecture may be
carried too far. What would Boston Philadelphia
or st. Augustine New Orleans be to the American
tourist without its old structures? In the buildings
where generations of men and women have lived or
worked played worshpped, there is flavor that
adds richness to life
Many a city in the newer regions of the United
States, which rejoces over the demolition of old
landmarks to make way for the new, will be sorry
some day. Better keep of the old, if not for the
sake of history and romance then means of show
ing by contrast the superiority Of the new.

MONEY TO RETIRE ON

The time to take out life insurance policy, as
many middle-aged learns to his cost, is in ones
youth Then the premium is small, and it will never
grow any larger whereas by the time man has come
to feel his responsibility as the father Of growing
family the cost often seems prohbitive.
But many man or woman who realizes this with
perfect clearness fails to apply the kind of
onng to savings accounts. computation recently
made by firm Of big investment bankers shows some
striking figures.
Suppose you want to make sure of having fund
of $4,000 when YOU are so. How much month do
you suppose YOU would have to put into per cent
investment? If you started at 40 it would be S5431
month. If you started at sc, it would be S2511
month. IT you started at 20, it would be only $1274
a month
If there is any easier way of insurng that $4,000
as stake for old age than starting such scheme at
the age of 20 what is it? Over that 40year period of
saving the actual money invested is only about $4,000

branches of the old bush behind the
log on which he was sitting.

and ssome of the branches tickled

He twinkled his pink nose, took
another long and delicious sniff of
the warm pie in the basket and said:

But as Uncle Wiggily looked at

That sounds reasonable A stimulated automobile
trade stimulates thousand other industrial lines 1t

The automobile show emphasizes the fact that cars
have been more thoroughly standardized So have

The business is not the inflated, insecure thing of a
