TO CHECK UP ON PROGRESS
AnerIcanism Commission Of Amerl.
can Legion Plans to Combat Ad-
verse instruction in Homes


Max NJ. Neumann, chairman of the
Americanism Commission of the Amer
lean Legion in washington, and for
mer state legislator. has announced
a definite plan for combating I'M
American teachings in home life,
which have often offset patriotic in
structiou in schools.
I'VE have found in Washington that
Americanism work done in schools
with the children oftentimes has been
counteracted by un-American teach
ings in the home. A plan has been
worked out for use in the state where
by we are urging that examinations
be made in Americanism in every
grade OF the schools. These examina-
lions would be kept and taken yearly,
and comparisons made as to advance
ment. In the event these records do
not show the proper progress, the
American Legion would take up the
matter at its source in the home to
remedy 1t. The examinations would
not be limited to the foreign-born
children, or those born of foreign
parentage."
Legion men In washington face
many problems of Americanization, OF
which the Japanese question and anti
alien land ownership are of greatest
concern, according to Mr.. -,eumann.

old Coin Has History
dollar Piece Found in Mexico Lost at Eagle
Pass Forty Years Ago.

in Eagle Pass when the coin was given
TO her by a travelling salesman in 1872.
Mrs. Schmidt lost the coin about ten
years later. She thinks that some per-
son found the coin and traded 1t and it
eventually came into the possession of
the Indian in Southern Mexico.
According to the story from Mexico,
an American got the coin from an In
dian of the Tehuantepec race. They
wear the coins around their neck and
usually try to get two just alike. 1t is
believed that because no mate could
ever be found for the 1870 coin, that It
was finally decided by the Indians to
let it 90. In exchange for the coin,
the American gave the Indian several
coins that were alike.
Account for -Four Of Them.
The five coins were minted in San
Francisco in 1870. One of them was
placed in a cornerstone at the time of
the mintin=.
The coin in Mexico, the one In pos
session of Mrs. Tolley, the one under
the cornerstone and the one sold in New
York. accounts for four of the coins,
but the whereabouts of the other is
not known. 1t is not known what one
of the coins would bring now.

COURT FINES
SINCE SEPTEMBER
TOTAL OVER $4,000
Over 1000 Criminal Cases
Filed and Six Court Ses-
aons Yet to Be Held.

Over $4,000 in fines has been col.
iected in the Federal Court for the
Western district of Texas since the lat
ter part of last September, according 10
United States District Attorney John
u. Hartman. Over 1000 cases have
been filed, and there are five or nix
courts yet to be held before the end of
the fiscal year.
q During last fiscal year, from July to
tuly, 1865 cases were filed in the West
fern district and fines amounting 10
'$47,74 were collected. From the
amount of business that has already
been transacted during this fiscal year,
the attorneys office is led to believe
that this years business will be far
heavier than last years.
The annual report for the last fiscal
year shows that the Western district of
Texas is third in the amount Of business
transacted, New York being first and
California second. The amount of bust
ness transacted in the Western district
of Texas may be emphasized by compar-
ison with the business transacted in
the entire state of Utah where only 104
cases were filed during the past fis-
cal year. Tennessee had 46S and South
Carolina 407.

HERE'S YOUR SUNDAY
SERMON BY UPSHAW ON
VAMPIRE BOOTLEGGER'
In Effect He Says "What an
Awful Row / Did
Stir Up."

Washington, ID. C., Jan. 1S.-Repre.
sentative Upshaw, Georgia, who has
stirred up storm in Congress by his
charges that high officials in Washing
ton are violating the prohibition law,
declared tonight that he is attempting
to drive the vampire bootlegger" out
of official life so that all public men
will be a real example to the youth of
the country. Giving the motives back
of his move, Upshaw asserted that per-
sonal sobriety and the respect for law
has become "a desperately serious mat
ter" and called upon preachers, teach
ers, parents and political leaders of the
country to back him in his fight. He
characterized the following statement as
Sunday sermon to the American
public"
1.-The most wholesome thing / know
for the contemplation Of American youth
is inspiring leadership Of victorious men
and women. The character of the win
ner is worth thousand times more to
the world than every crown he can wear
and every sceptre of power he can sway.
The worlds leaders must have character
or humanity will go to the devil.
"When, on December 20, / made a
thirteen-ninute speech in Congress call
ing for ell of those who swear ale
glance Ia the constitution in their oath
of office to practice the spirit of the
eighteenth amendment and declare that
fact TO the world; frankly / did not
dream that the press would give more
than a few lines TO the appeal. The fact
that the front page and the editorial
page of nearly all metropolitan dailies
and country weeklies have never yet
quit talking about the thing from, one
angle or another shows that i unwit-
tingly touched live and inflamed nerve
that seemed TO shoc1 the whole coun-
try.
what does II mean? There can be
but one answer, and that is found in
the sadly discovered fact that everybody
everywhere, recognized the widespread
need for such a Christian evangel.
at was not a threat to expose my
colleagues and other Washington Off
cials-it was an appeal for all Offend
ing ones TO stop their dangerous exam
pie before the youth of our country,
eHN " ~ hhNiA pAihtt
and their love of decency and righteous
ness cause them TO unite in driving the
vampire bootlegger out of our official
and social life.
ut will be remembered that / made
no wholesale charge against official
Washington. / am proud of the high
personnel of my colleagues. But 1
know, and everybody knows, that if il
licit drinking on the part of all political
and social leaders, not only in Wash
ington, but all over America could be
reduced to q minimum, it would be an
unspeakable godsend to the youth of the
world.
IL call on preachers, on teachers, on
parents TO watch and pray forpolitical
leaders to wrap ragnant conscious
around the spotless, sober manhood
and first of all, last of all, and above
editors and newspaper corre-
spondents everywhere to treat this thing
Of. personal sobriety and respect for
law as a serious-a desperately serious
matter"
