devotion and belief in the United
States of America. She said that that
spirit had been the background of all
progress since the republic was reared
from the 10 colonies.
Mrs. ELEPHANTS report presented a
plan or program for the work of
Americanism during the coming year,
and her strong support of this is be-
lieved to have had much weight with
delegates in the final selection of pres
ident of the organization.
This plan provides for an intensive
effort to bring about respect for the
flag and the national anthem. The
program is strong in support Of De-
Tense day, which included Endorsement
of the full program for national de-
Tense and, as an important part Of
this, the citizen military training
camps. The plan stresses continued
effort in behalf OF the foreign born
and naturalized immigrant, to include
a special effort to bring all foreign
born and naturalized women eligibles

to girls of the eighth grade public,
parochial and private schools of the
country is a feature of the outlined
scheme of work. Another important
point to receive attention Is the per-
sistent campaign against radicalism,
sovietism, communism, pacifism and
anarchy. One Of the features on which
the organization will build its work,
under adoption of the Oliphant plan,
will be the extension of good reading
through travelling Libraries in the coun-
ties of the nation.
LET us make America ring with the
red-blooded Americanism Of the Amer
lean Legion Auxiliary throughout the
year" May our slogan be, Response
bic citizenship, 1776 patriotism and an
America safe for Americanism."

he was to me the last word in sarto-

secret envy. He was plump and i'm
pressive of physique, and his clothes
were without a wrinkle. He was con-
sidered the social dictator of the viii

Pigee asked me last evening as l was
dining with him at his lodging place.
The question tlattered me coming as 1t
did from such a discriminating and tai

upon me the urge of many experiences.
/ recognized at once the need OF such
a work though l was uncertain as to
the demand.
Only that morning as l was strolling
In leisurely and unobtrusive way to
my office, l had been pushed into the
mud by group of frizzled-headed
young women who occupied the whole
breadth of sidewalk as they sloshed
giggIing down the street. When | ut

they gave me an insolent look.
A young boob, whose name | did not

rushed by me-a salutation not wholly
conventional and one which | have
been wont to reserve for acquaintance
of a somewhat more intimate charac-

to select specific Illustrations, and to
decide upon the topics to be discussed.

thing upon the use of the telephone In

1t will not be out of place, | am sure,
in such work to say something in
defense of conventionality, of respect
for authority and for the rights and

MORE SLEEP FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN

DEN FRANKLIN wrote his Poor
- Richards Almanac over one hun
bred and fifty years ago. One of the
most frequently quoted sayings in 1t
was the one about 'early to bed and
early to rise" How many people this
advice has made wealthy and WISE no
one can tell. Certainly every one who
has gone to bed early has been made
healthier thereby. 1t used to be no
hardship for the boy or girl to go TO
bed. There wasn't anything else to do.
But now the movies and the radio are
a strong temptation, especially for
school children.
In Sioux City, Iowa, the teachers
found that the children were not get
ting enough sleep. so they started a
"more sleep" campaign. They ar
ranged to have the school physician
and the superintendent talk to the par
ents on the need of more sleep for the
children and the effect of too little
sleep on the health. growth and school
work of the children. A pledge was
drawn up in which parents agreed TO
have their children in bed not later
than 8 80 for grade pupils and nine
O'Clock for junior high pupils, five
nights a week during the school year.
A house-to-house canvass was made
the superintendent offered a prize to
the school which would secure the
highest percentage of parents sigma
lures. Celluloid buttons, showing a
clock face with the hands pointing to
8 30 were given to the children whose
parents had signed the early-to-bed
pledge.
Awful lot of bother, you say, to ger
children TO go to bed early Very
true, but 1t is apparently necessary to
make a game out of anything you
want children to do. But the method
didn't matter. It's the results tina:
count. What were the results in Sioux
City? Healthier and more alert chill.
dren, better lessons at school, better
natured children at home.
The growing child needs plenty Of
sleep. The child that stays up halt
the night is tired, cross and dull the
next day. See that your child gets
plenty of sleep every night

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL.
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
KEEPING YOUR HAIR ON

r ALDNEsS is one of the penalties
we pay for being civilized. Saw
ages and primitive people have an
abundance of hair. The more highly
civilized we become, the less hair we
have Why nature will not stand for
growth inside the skull without re-
ducing the crop outside, we do not
know. but we do know that the higher
up we go in the social and intellectual
scale the more bald heads there are.
There ere several kinds of badness.
One is the form which comes after Sc
we're and long continued Illness, usu-
ally after high fever. Often, after
such illnesses, the hair is cut short or
the head is shaved, the idea being
that in some way. this stimulates the
growth of the hair. This has no eff
feet. In most cases of badness fol-
lowing fever, the hair grows out again
in few months.
Another form of badness is that
which occurs in spots. No one knows
what is the cause. Sometimes the
spots remain permanently bald Some
times the hair grows again.
But the commonest form of bald
ness Is that which occurs generally In
early middle life.
What causes badness? No one
knows. If any one could find out how,
as the hair restorers claim, ito make
hair grow on the baldest head" he
would soon be paying the same In
come tax as John D. Rockefeller or
Henry Ford Modern hats, especially
the hard-rimmed, close-fitting derby,
have been held responsible.
No one wants to be bald. We would
all like to keep our hair as long and
as thick as it was in our boyhood
days. So we naturally look for a
remedy when the hair begins to get
thin.
And the remedies are legion. SINCE
ing the hair was long popular, the ex-
PLANTATION being that, when the hair
was cut, it "bledr from the cut ends
and that smuggling the ends closed the
pores or blood vessels. But hair has
neither pores nor blood vessels. Hair
tonics and scalp foods galore are sold
to hopeful victims. Mango cures and
dandruff cures are found in every
drug store. Electric massage has
long been popular. But badness goes
right on increasing Elaborate
vacuum treatment" machines have
been constructed. But the bald-head-
ed man is still favorite subject for
jokes. Will Rogers, the genial
comedian of the Follies, says, in one
of his rope-twirling, gum-chewing
m0noogues, that the finest specimen
of optimism he has ever seen Is a
man buying a bottle of hair tonic
from a bald-headed barber.
A shrewd old doctor once said that
In any disease for which there were a
thousand remedies it was probable
that none of them was of any value.
This is true of badness. Perhaps, in
the early stages, stimulating treatment
may be of some value. Wear hats as
little as possible, and then only soft
ones. Possibly you may stop the ad-
vance of badness and keep what hair
you have.
But, if VOC are really one of the
bald-headed brotherhood, save your
money. You were born bare-footed
and You'll die bald-headed.

AUXILIARY'S HEAD

Mrs. q D. Oliphant, Trenton, N. j.,
will head the American Legion Aux

Mrs. ELEPHANTS election came at the
close of the most successful and prof
liable convention the organization has
ever held. She was selected from a
field of seven candidates, and on the
third ballot secured the necessary ma
Jority for election.
Mrs. Oliphant is one of the best
known workers in the entire organiza-

her own state before the national body
came into existence. For two years
she headed the auxiliary in New Jer-
sey as department president and has
been a member of the national execu-
tive committee since that administra-
tive body began to function. Friends
placed her in nomination for the pres
idency at the San Francisco conven-
ton of the organization.
Mrs. Oliphant is thoroughly con-
versant with details of auxiliary af-
fairs and, with the progress that the
body has made annually, should go far
with the years work.
During the past year her work as
chairman of the auxiliary's national
committee on Americanism has caused
the signal recognition of her labors
that was given her by the delegates at
