LEGION BOY SCOUT
TROOP MAKES GOOD

Possibilities of a troop of boy scouts,
when sponsored by the American Lee
gfon are seen in the recent report of
the Legion's troop in Collinsville, Okla.
During the past year the troop ac-
quired building of its own, through
the generosity of one of the local
church congregations and the boys, as
sisted by the Legion men placed this
in shape, wiring, painting and redec-
Grating and furnishing the building.
One Of the principal activities of the
troop was undertaking of a reli-
gious census of the entire city. This
was prepared FOR use of the local
churches.
The Legion maintains free scout
camp at Lake Euchee, which is made
the center fol hikes and other activi-
ties One of these hikes was father
and son" hike, on which the scouts
were hosts.
The troop is entirely interdenomina-
tional and closely resembles the make
up of the Legion in this respect. Eight
Baptists, thirteen Methodists, eleven
Presbyterians, eleven Christians, two
Assembly of God, one Nazarine, and
one Christian Scientist are in the
troop.

Veterans of Virginia
Approve Registration

Success has attended efforts of Com
mander John ]. Wicker and other
Legionnaires in Virginia in securing
registration of veterans in that state,
that all might vote in regular elections.
This was made one of the principal
detectives of the Legion during the
past year, and according to reports
from the states posts furnished Com
mander Wicker. only few members
of the Legion have not availed them
selves of the opportunity to exercise
their right of franchise. At least eight
posts of the state have qualified with
every member as a voter. These are
located in Strasburg, Louisa, Cape
Charles, Smithfield, Berryville, Abing-
don and Marion.
The work was under direction of a
citizenship committee, headed by Allan
S. Clarke of Danville, and with mem
bers In every congressional district in
the state.

Brought Back to Memory

The wrestling match was a whirl-
wind and holly contested affair.
Every fan near the ropes was on his
feet wild with excitement and yell
ing with every ounce of lung capaci-
ty-all but one frail little man, who
was sitting totally oblivious to both
the bout and the bedlam in the at
titude of a man who is vainly trying
to recall something.
Finally, with a hopeless sigh, he
looked up and glanced casually at the
wrestlers. Then he sprang up and
elbowed his way through the crowds.
1.-THE osteopath!" he shouted wildly.

ment with the osteopath ''-Legion

most instrumental in getting immediate
care for them. Even the nurses and
physicians in hospitals are enthusiast
tic in talking about the work done by
the women's post which is one of the
very, very few in existence in the
country.
In the three government hospitals
located at Norfolk were many men suf-
ficiently active to make beautiful hand
made goods. The women's post found
this out and arranged to dispose of
their goods. They rented store, gath
cred the work from the three hospitals
and made attractive their window dis
plays. They spent money on adver-
Using, talked to Rotarians, Kiwanians,
Civilians and other bodies; used NOV
ing-picture slides and urged men to
bring their wives, and women to bring
their husbands to the exhibit and sale.
Folders were sent out. The newspa-
pers gave much-needed publicity. And
then it was that Commander Bucking
got on the radio and broadcast story
of her post and what it was accom-
plishing for the disabled veteran.
More than five hundred articles were
sold a woman in Florida writing with
a check to friend asking her to buy
something. In Wisconsin woman did
the same The sale of disabled vet
eran products will become regular
feature of the women's posts activi-
ties. And Commander Bucking, whose

the credit for the go-getting spirit that
put the women's post in the forefront
of activities for relief of disabled men.

Will Plant Wild Rice
to Feed Game Birds

In order to provide a feeding place
for migratory game birds, and for
preservation of wholesome conditions
in Beaver Dam lake, a large amount
of wild rice will be planted in the
lake by Wisconsin LegiOnnaireS.
The rice is a great feed for wild
ducks, and is said to restore health
full conditions wherever planted. Its
planting will be made by a group of
Legion men under supervision of state
experts.
The Beaver Dam veterans take a
great interest in the lake and its sur
roundings, hoping to keep it as To-
cation Tor game fish, bird life and

Legion men seined the lake free of

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.

RADIO IS USED TO
TELL OF WAR WORK

The fact that great many girls
and women enlisted in the United
States forces during the World war
has escaped general attention. A fair
was made at one time about the yeo.
manettes, but was soon forgotten.
Now comes Helen E. Bucking, com
mander of Women's Post No. 118, Of
the American Legion at Norfolk, Va,
as the first woman veteran of the war
to use the radio in telling what she
and her compatriots did towards win
ming the war The speech was de-
livered from station WTAR and re-
suited in a wide dissemination Of
knowledge concerning the part played
in the war by the woman.
All the members of women's post
served in the navy as yeowomcl dur
ing the war, or as overseas nurses.
The post has made a distinct hit with
the citizens of Norfolk because of its
work in the hospitals, Commander
Bucking declared, in her address.
Disabled ex-service men, needy vet
Grams, hungry veterans-all find sue
cor at the women's post regardless of
reasons. When other welfare agen-
cies turn down the veteran, the wom-
ems post puts him on his feet-and
has been doing this work for four
years, Commander Bucking said.

Health-pI1ysical freedom and full

Remember the simple laws of health
which everyone learned in school.
Avoid stimulants. Avoid the sleepless
hours, upset digestion, warning head
aches, taut nerves and muddy com
plexions which so often accompany the
use of the drug caffein.
Caffein is classified as poison.
Like strychnin, it is sometimes given
by doctors in cases of heart failure
The average cup of coffee contains the
usual dose of caffein administered in
such cases. The alarming foolishness of
taking this poison regularly into the
system is borne out by the frightful
limitation Of health and usefulness as
compared with the length of life.

Unexplored Land

One of the largest unexplored areas
in the United States lies in triangu-
lar space between the Colorado and
the San Juan rivers in southeastern
Utah. An expedition of the National
Geographic society has begun a sur
yey of the region, primarily to deter
mine whether it was once generally
inhabited by the ancient cliff dwellers.
The country consists mostly of can
yons and sandstone cliffs and is of
fantastic beauty. An area as large as
some of the smaller eastern states still
remains quite unknown to white men.

Wisconsin Post Needs
Just One More Member

American Legion officials in Bur

The annual membership drive went
over to the satisfaction of the post
the members secured surpassed the
membership of 1923. But when re-
vision of the roster was made the
total was found one short of the quota
expected of the post by department
headquarters. Because the territory
has been thoroughly combed for mem
bers, post officials believe that they
may have to import a veteran to OBJ
tain the needed member.

"Nonbreakable Cigars"

At Lehigh university, Professors
James Long and Henry Ullman of the
chemistry department have succeeded
in making practically nonbreakable
cigar The secret is in the binder
made from tobacco leaf stems, which
are first pulverized and made into a
paper. When used the cigar does not
break easily in the pocket. The idea
will provide for the use of what was
formerly considered waste in the cigar
industry. The cigar makers are al
lowed to use very few chemicals in
their work and one difficulty was to
keep the tobacco stem binder from
tasting like paper.

The carreta is a heavy two-wheeled

with body supported on heavy leather
straps, for travel on the rocky coun-
