Thought u. S. Flag Was
Solid Crimson Block

Congressman A. Piatt Andrew, wear
ing Legion button, recently addressed
the sixth annual convention of the
American Legion at Pittsfeld, Mass,
and in the course of his remarks told
the following yarn:
"When the Harvard medical unit
was In little village in France in the
ea-lv days Of the war, the natives de-
veloped the idea that the United
States flag was a solid block of Grim
son. In consequence whenever it be-
came known that the Yanks were
about to heave in sight, red blankets
were draped from windows, red muf-
fiers were unwound from children's
necks and red flags were flown wher-
ever possible. The peasant women
unhitched their red petticoats, came
to the doors Of their cots and danced
on the steps while they waved these
undertakings and joyously screamed,
TO ell wiz Yale to ell wiz Yale as
the lads marched by. This caused
Ralph hobart of Cambridge, cheer
leader, to call for three and a tiger for
the Gloucester buddy"

the principal allied and associated
countries. It's annual congress was
held at New Orleans in 1922 at the
time of the American Legion conven-
ton there.
The presidency of Fidac has from
its organization until now rested with
the French veterans. Charles Bert
rand, a member of the French cham.
Der of deputies, has held the position.
Mr.. Miller was a colonel in the
Seventy-ninth division in the World
war. He was one Of the members of
the Paris caucus at which the first
active steps looking towards the for
nation Of the American Legion were
taken.
The new president, it is understood,
will devote his entire time to the ac-
tivities of the Fidac. One of the
questions, it is said which confronts
him is that of giving more concrete
expression to the aspirations of the
millions of veterans in Fidac.

Post in Massachusetts
Builds DUN Clubhouse

Methuen post of the American
Legion at Lawrence, Mass, recently
closed a deal whereby their post ex-
chequer was enriched to the extent of
several thousand dollars. Nor .have
they embraced the great profession
born of the Eighteenth amendment.
They merely contracted with them
selves to build by themselves their
clubhouse for themselves, and hence
they now have a clubhouse which big
hearted contractors would have been
glad to put up for them at some five
thousand dollars more than it cost
them by doing their own labor.

Peer of Great Britain
Advertises for Work

London, England.-Two personals"
appearing in the London Times tell
their own story. The first, which re-
fleets the social and economic changes
wrought by the war, follows:
peer wants work; under forty; en-
erget!c, resourceful; horses, motor,
literature; served in royal air forces"
The other shows the die-hard
spirit, the spirit that's out to main
tain the old social standards at all
hazards. Here it is:
There is now a vacancy (first
class) for lady inebriate in home at
- Apply, etc."
The plain inference of this laconic
message is that at this particular
home there is no welcome for a wom-
an inebriate who is not lady.
