TAYLORtS WORK FOR
COMPENSATION BILL

When the news that the adjusted
compensation bill has been passed
over the Presidential veto by the SEN
ate flashed from Washington to In
dlanapolis where fifty or more Ameri-
can Legion national executive commit
teemen were in session, one name, and
one name only was In their minds
John Thomas Taylor.
For more than five years Taylor, a
young Washington lawyer of recog-
niZed brilliance and an ardent Legion
naire, had been directing the Legion's
chairman or vice chairman of the Lee
gion's national legislative committee,
he had been steering legislation bene-
fetal to the disabled veterans and
other ex-serviee men. He knew every
senator, every representative in Wash
lngton. He was liked for his winning
personality, his brilliance of mind and
his ability to present case convincing
ly to the men in whose hands rested the
fate of legislation in which the Legion
was interested. Six times he had got
the adjusted compensation measure
through the house by overwhelming
majorities. Three times the senate
had given the bill its support. Once
fate interviewed and blocked its final
enactment; once the late President
Harding had swept away Taylor's eff
forts with stroke of the pen.
But this time, he intended nothing
to interfere. The crucial moment had
arrived, and as Taylor says himself,
when the battle is hottest, I think
the quicker and don't lose my head"
With consummate skill he brought the
pressure to bear which defeated efforts
to have action by the senate delayed

INDUSTRIAL. HISTORY IN
THE MAKING

Fort Smith, Ark, guarding the river
ford in Indian days, has looked down
on dramatic events. Today it is at
crossroads in industrial development
as 1t was once at crossroads in piO-
neering. 1t Is reached by a west-of-
the-Mississippi that never carries
"diner"-yet is 1t a metropolis, an in
dustrial center. And like all industrial
centers nowadays, it wants women in
Its industries.
Two wholesale clothing houses, q
paper-boX plant, button factory, two
pants and overall' factories, and !
know not what in the line of farm sup
ply houses now surround the old gray
pile of the fort, and furnish a spirit OF
hustle and success that runs up and
down the streets. Country-bred girls
are sucked in to Join local women in
store and office and factory, as they
are sucked into the industrial whirl-
pool of New York and San Francisco
and Chicago-but with difference.
What woman holds the most inter
esting job in Fort Smith? That's hard
to say. It's hard to discover even
when you're right on the spot. Ger
tainly one of the interesting ones Ia
the job of presiding over what an
imaginable person might call the in
take pipe to the suction pump of Fort
Smith industries. She is the little
woman in black suit and crisp white
blouse-and oh, a most understanding
smile who wears a Travellers Aid
button and presides over the station
waiting room. q warned you that
Fort Smith is citified. It's also very
up-and-coming about having all the
new wrinkles in town management,
and the Travellers Aid desk is only
Sample.)
There is enough time and space and
general spirit OF being interested in
your neighbor to make Fort Smith still
keep the best of its small-town habits.
So Miss Jennie Stevens, the aid lady,
isn't expected to catalogue the women
that she meets. She doesn't send out
a hasty postcard to some person or
other, "This will introduce Fanny
Smith. She needs q small room till
she gets her first pay envelope; and
then never know whether Fanny gets

Instead, when Fanny Smith, on her
first venture from Blanksburg, drifts

comes Fanny's first friend. She knows
personally most of the people she calls
up before she sends Fanny out to meet
them, and six months from now she'll
probably know just how Fanny is get
ting on in work, and love affairs, too.
To my mind, the aid lady has the
best Job. But there's a sort of human
interest quality about most of those
Fort Smith jobs that the Chicago ones
lack!

COMMUNITY SERVICE
AROUSES INTEREST

Interest Il community and civic bet
torment among members of the Amer
lean Legion is growing rapidly. Gar
land w. Powell, director of the Le-
gion's national Americanism commits
sion, said in recent statement is
sued at Indianapolis Mr.. Powell 10
directing this phase of Legion work.
Mr.. Powell's statement was based
on the hundreds Of requests which
have been pouring into the community
and civic betterment bureau, a dt-
vision Of the Americanism commits
sion, for advice on various subjects
and for copies of the new pamphlet
'Your Post and Your Town." for dis
tribution by the Legion's bureau
while we have many reports con-
corning posts which have already as
sumed some community responsibility,
1t is, indeed, surprising how many
Legionnaires are planning campaigns
for betterment Of conditions about
Them" Mr.. Powell declared. Requests
for direction along these lines are re-
ceived daily, and indicate that con-
structive work for their neighbors Is
the principal aim Of this great group
of ex-service men," he said.
Mr.. Powell said there was no In
tention on the part Of the Legion
to supplant any agency engaged In
work of this character, but that the
Legion's broad membership would

to align all community endeavor.
1.-THE volume Of the requests re-
ceived decided the course of the new
bureau, handling this work." Mr.
Powell said. "The great number of
these requests clearly indicate that
Legion men are thinking in lines of
community service and are seeking
best channels Of expression In the
various lines. AS consequence, the
community and civic betterment bu-
reau is to function principally in an
advisory capacity"
Advice furnished by the bureau Will
extend to every phase of community
development and civic betterment, ac-
cording to Mr.. Powell. Perhaps most
stress will be laid on recreation or
some activity which will tend to oc-
cupatfon of the leisure time Of the
nation, but he declares this clearly
anticipates civic betterment, including
community building, memorials, play
grounds and recreation centers,
health conservation, philanthropic adj
ministration, municipal progress and
general community organization.
Because members of the American
Legion represent every class in the
country" Mr.. Powell declared, 81 pre-
dict that the organization will go far
In accomplishments for the nation
leading to ideal conditions of Ameri-
can citizenship"

A CIVIL ENGINEERS WIFE

Two pages she wrote about the
pleasure of being a dweller on Main
Street. Typewriter pages, too, close
ly spaced, on big sheets. AS / read
wondered bit why Mrs. Herrick, vo-
cational expert, had suggested my
writing her. Charming she undoubted
is. A good citizen. A splendid wife.
A woman other women delight to
honor-for there Is a whisper that II
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs ever elects a mountain presi-
dent, it will be this same Kathryn Per
ham Of Glendive, Mont.
But a woman of business? Then /
found 1t. Tucked away as apparently
the least important fact about her life
was modest sentence. 81 have had
training in civil engineering work."
Mrs. Perham wrote, "and since my
marriage to bridge and building con-
tractor, have been able to work side
by side with him on blue prints, speci-
fications, ETC."
There aren't but IS women civil en-.
gineers In all the United States. No
wonder my vocational friend claims
Mrs w. T. Perham for Montana.
And when one can add to the per-
sonality and courage of a pioneer In
such a mans field" the feminine
charm that has obviously made her a
success as helpmeet to her husband,
then surely one has material for q
frst-class romance. Imagine a 'best
seller" with the unfinished bridge that
was to be the engineers masterpiece,
endangered, then saved because the
heroine could figure out stresses or
boss labor gang.
Fiction aside, Mrs Perham's is the
letter Of a happy woman. Particular
ly happy because her life is lived in a
small town. She comments on the
number of famous folk who "start ca
reers In small places and establish
themselves securely before seeking
larger fields to conquer" And then she
sums up her creed with this:
Let others reap the splendors, Lord.
but give instead to me
The homely round of living blent with
small-town sympathy.
Tha little, sman-town sympathy that
steals on neighbor feet
From tiny lamplit houses down q
maple-shaded street;
That lends Its strength on tear -dimmed
ways its own bruised feet have
trod,
