AMERICAN
LEGION

American Legion News ServIce.)
o. ks MEASURES FOR
DISABLED VETERANS

recommendations of the senate COM
Grams bureau reflect practically every
recommendation of the fifth annual
convention of the American Legion in
regard to care of disabled veterans.
This Is shown by the announcements
of the committee, which indicate that
on the major points sought by the Lee
gion rehabilitation committee legisla
tive recommendations will be offered
to congress for action.
First of the recommendations to CO.
incide with the Legion's views is
further decentralization of bureau af-
fairs seen in the plan suggested for es-
Establishment of rating boards in every
district and subdistrict for the pur-
pose Of hearing claimants in person.
This has long been a Legion conten-
ton.
Another of the Legion's recSmmen-
dations suggested in the committee re-
port is that disability of service origin,
short of permanent disability, be no
bar to reinstatement of war risk in
surance.
Legion suggestions further included
In the report are increase Of pay for
disabled veterans with children, to
widows of veterans with children, and
double compensation. for women who
lost son and husband or two sons
in service; allowance for housekeep-
ers for totally helpless veterans; retro
active reduction in compensation be
forbidden except in case of fraud; in
crease in burial expenses for INDECENT
veterans; opening of hospitals to vet
Grams of all American campaigns sus-
pension of compensation payments to
guardians of insane veterans who fail
and that disputed claims on war risk
insurance may be taken to the courts
for judgment.
Among the most important of the
suggestions made which are in line
with the Legion policy or rehabilita-
ton, is that If tuberculosis or mental
diseases developed within three years
after discharge, these shall be pre-
sumed to be of service origin, which
opens the way to compensation for
thousands of veterans and the Legion
further suggests that the hospitals be
thrown open to all veterans suffering
from mental disease or tuberculosis
without demanding proof that such
disease was of service origin.
Directions of the Legion's fight for
care of the disabled veteran is in
charge of the national rehabilitation
committee, which maintains a large
force in the national capital, with an
active service bureau in touch with
the central bureau office and liaison
officials and committees in every dis
trict and subdistrict

Much Discussion Over
National Prize Essay

The essay of Lambert Slominski of
Greenbush, Mimi, submitted as state
winner in the national essay contest of
the American Legion, caused contro-
versy to arise between III. J. Steel,
chairman of the department American
ism commission of the American Lee
gion and several critics of the lads
composition
Slominskf, a schoolboy of sixteen,
wrote on the Legion's announced sub
ject, "Why America Should Prohibit
immigration for Five Years." His
essay was adjudged best in his state
and as consequence was given wide
publicity One of the points made by
the boy was that ability of Slavic and
Mediterranean subraces to maintain
free Institutions and democratic gov
eminent is questionable.
This called forth much criticism,
particularly from representatives of
those races. One letter from Rev. V.
r. Mikolasek of Lankin, NJ D., declared
that the Czechoslovak race, of which
ne is a member, maintained free insti
buttons long before America was dis
covered. This is, of course, very true,
according to history.
But Chairman Steel cited the fact
that these people have for several
generations been under the DONNA
lions of despotic monarchs and peo-
pies. They have not been able to con-
tinue their institutions Of learning,
their forms of free government. Steel
maintained that the boys points were
well taken in this respect, as admis-
sion of such people was not a refiec-
ton on the race itself, but on the
lords and masters of the citizenry.
In an open letter to Reverend Miko-
lasek, Steel said: Anyone who
pauses to reflect moment will agree
that the Slav of today or of any period,
is and was different in many respects
from the New Englanders of Colonial
times But the Slav is not therefore
| inferior. Moreover 1t is not yet deter
mined that America will be nodded
along the lines set forth by our Puri-
! tan ancestors. That is one of the
things the Legion hopes to have con
sidered and If possible settled in the
| present discussion"
The fact that such an essay brought
! forth discussion was the point aimed
at in the nationwide contest in. which
! nearly 100000 children competed.

Change in Size of Tire
Hurts Odometer Accuracy

One frequently hears the suggestion
that change of tire size makes very
serious difference in the accuracy of
the speedometer, and more particularly
of that shown by the Odometer. AS a
matter of fact, there Is a difference,
but 1t amounts to very little when short
distances are considered. For instance.
a difference of half an inch in diameter
in 34-inch tire makes difference in
odometer reading of 80 feet to the
mile. When a permanent change of
tire size is made it is important to
have the recording instrument adjusted
to meet It.

FEW CAR OWNERS
KNOW STEERING
Reasons Why Auto Is Hard
or Easy to Handle Are
Given by Prof. Greer.


lege of Automotive Engineering, Chicago.)
The average motorcar owner prob
ably will be surprised to be told that
he doesn't know what really goOt
steering means The reason Is that sc
many factors contribute to helping Oh
hlndering the easy guidance of the
modern car that many of them are
entirely overlooked by most owners
and the result is that they consider
satisfactory steering what Is in reality
very far from perfect.
To begin with, it is important that
the front wheels shall be properly
aligned If the car is to steer with
maximum ease. Now all wheels are
cambered and toed-in to certain ex-
tent. The amount varies with differ
emf cars, but the owner should take
pains at least twice a season to see
that his wheels are properly aligned.
improper Alignment.
Any time that the car is involved in
a collision of any kind, even If it is
with the curb, the wheel alignment
should be checked up. Improper align
ment results not only in hindering the
steering of the car, but in excessive
tire wear.
If the alignment of the wheels is
found to be incorrect, it may be
altered by manipulation of the tie rod.
This latter is the rod which runs from
one steering knuckle to the other, and
which has movable portion at either
end. Hard steering is often caused
by misalignment of the front wheels
through an error In the toe-in.
In most steering systems the slack
which develops may be taken up in
two or three different places. The car
owner should find out, to begin with,
where the wear is greatest, whether
In the gears at the bottom of the
posts, in the ball joints or in other
parts A good beginning may be made
by gripping the tie rod and moving it
back and forth, thereby detecting play
In this part, If it exists. Perform the
same operation with the drag link or
rod connecting the steering arm with
the front axle. The ball joints may
be adjusted by means of nut which
is located in the back of the spring.
Adjustment Provided.
To do this remove the cotter-pin,
turn down the nut, insert the pin again
and the job is done. If the play is in
the gears there is usually provided an
adjustment, placed just above the case
in which the gears are housed. AS a
general thing it takes the form of a
serrated nut, which is held In place by
a slotted pin. The pin must be re
moved with a screwdriver, the nut be-
ing turned slightly, after which the
pin Is replaced. Each time the nut is
turned it is we'll to try the steering
wheel to see that the adjustment is
having the desired effect.
Steering knuckles are held in place
by a pin, on which the knuckle turns.
If fabrication of this pin is neglected,
excessive wear viii result. There are
a number of different types of steer
ing knuckles in common use. All of
these have bearings, and most of them
employ bearing bushingssa Replace
ment of these bearings is frequently
necessary when excess play develops
in this part. 1t is not too much to say
that daily fabrication is essential to
the continued life of the bearing.

Compression as Brake Is
Not Injurious to Engine

Some motorists, says Motor Life, APP
pear to have the mistaken notion 1t is
harmful to the engine to use the COM
preston as a brake in going down
steep hills Shut Off the engine and
leave the gears in mesh, so the wheels
drive the engine against the compress
sion in the cylinders. Be sure that the
throttle is closed. This will help to
save the service and emergency
brakes from excessive wear.
If greater braking power than that
afforded by the high-speed position Of
the gears is needed, shift into second
or low, the braking effect being in
creased as you step down.

"AH Is Well" Slogan

A suggestion for an 'all's
well" sign in case of wreck or
; breakdown on the highway is
made to motorists through the
! Automobile Club of Southern
California. 1t is, in effect, that
the motorist forced to stop on
the highway for repairs or be-
cause of accident, display
white rag or handkerchief to in
dictate to passing drivers that no
; one is injured and no help is
needed.
; Many drivers feel the urge to
be of assistance when a wrecked
machine is encountered and fire.
quently there is congestion of
the highways due TO this worthy
sentiment. Hence, congestion
could be relieved in the vicinity
of the wreck by the simple expe-
dent of raising a white emblem
indicating that aid is not de-
sired.
