Arkansas Legion to
Aid of City Schools

Broadening the scope of the com
munity service program, members of
the American Legion auxiliary in Lit
tie Rock, Ark, are cooperating with
Affiliated School Improvement associa-
ton to bring about better school con-
ditions in that city.
Because school funds were low the
authorities made ten per cent reduc-
ton in teachers salaries and planned
to close the schools earlier in the year.
Not daunted by the action, women
workers of the Legion and persons
interested in the city's schools, raised
funds with which TO complete thirty
nine-weeks' term and pay the teachers
the full salary provided for in the
contracts. Members of the NJ. M.
Ebert unit of the American Legion
auxiliary and department officials Of
the organization joined in the allied
movement

Stripe Down Center to
Make Paved Road Safer

If the road authorities would have
a four-inch stripe painted down the
center of our concrete pavements it
would be of great help to autoists and
probably prevent some accidents. A
man driving on a twentyfoot pave
ment with nothing on his left to guide
by, is always trying to see both
sides Of the road at once. He wants
to keep to the right as far as possible
and yet watch the other fellow and
see how far the approaching car will
miss him. He can't do both at the
same time successfully.
II ne doesn't watch the approach
ing car a reckless driver may hit him.
If he does watch him he may be forced
off the pavement. with no chance to
prove who was in the wrong. With
stripe down the center of the paw
ing there is much better chance of
tracking straight and avoiding col
lisions or swerving OF the road to
keep from getting hit.-R. A. Bradley,
Mechanical Engineering department,
Colorado Agricultural college.

POLISH PATRIOT
WRITES OF VISIT

Impressed by the great industrial de-
veIopment, the cooperation in civic
life. and the boundless good fellowship
In America, Gen. Joseph Halter. noted
Polish patriot who was the guest OF
the American Legion while in the
United States. has returned to his ma
tive land.
In a letter to National Commander
John r. Quinn of the Legion. the
great Polish warrior said that his
pleasure in his visit was unbounded.
and was an experience that he would
always recall because of the associa-
ton with his former comrades of the
World war who had fought under the
American flag.
General Haller's visit began early
in October and continued until a few
days before Christmas. His tour
started with a visit to the White
House and visit to the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier at Arlington, across
the continent to San Francisco, where
he received highest honors at the
hands of the American Legion. AS
the official guest of the organization.
he was presented with. the American
Legion's Distinguished Service Medal,
worn only by two Americans and Dy
but four others-Marshal FOch OF
France, Admiral Beatty of England,
General Jacques of Belgium, General
Diaz of italy.
Back across the nation with party
of representative Legion men, sped
the great Polish patriot, to visit nearly
fifty of Americas greatest cities,
where he was greeted by members Of
that organization, Polish colonies and
many officials, statesmen and promi-
nent persons.
Before his departure, General Halter
expressed his deep satisfaction at the
outcome OF the visit, and deeply
thanked the American Legion for the
opportunity to see the nation He
said in his letter:
what has given me the greatest
pleasure has been the evidence on
every hand that the American soldier
who readily gave up his peaceful pur-
suits to don the uniform of his proud
country and help put down oppression
in Europe so quickly returned to the
Industrial and commercial occupations
following the signing of the armistice..
l have noted the happy homes. the
contentment and the prosperity OF
those liberty-loving and unwarlike
lads. 1t has been constant inspira-
ton to me. The officers of the many
Legion posts, the officials of the or
ganization are all enshrined in my
heart"

MAY BE YOUNGEST
MEMBER OF LEGION

Who Is the youngest member Of the
American Legion? Just at this time,

Louisville, KY, lays claim to that dis
tinction, in announcing that f. Stroth-
er Barton is member of the post.

enlist. He was unable to meet the
requirements for age, though he passed
all others successfully. Denied his
parents consent to enter service. as
he was but fourteen at the time, he
bided his time and enlisted in the
navy in 1916
He was sent to Charleston, S. c.,
for training in naval aviation. from
there TO be sent to Hampton Roads,
Va. Barton was discharged in 1919.
and soon after hooked up" with the

Canada Would Haze
Legion Convention

Montreal seeks to entertain ma
tionai convention of the American
Legion, according to an invitation sent
to national headquarters of the vet
erans' organization through Legion of
ficials in Canada.
The invitation was extended by
Mayor Martin Of Montreal. who de-
clared that the entertainment OF the
former comrades of the British sol
diers would give great pleasure to citi-
zens of his country. as well as afford
ing means for more closely linking
the people OF the two nations.
The invitation was not received in
time for consideration, however. as the
Legion convention for 1924 had already
been authorized for ST. Paul. Victoria.
B. c., another Canadian city, invited
the veterans organization to come
there in 1924, this invitation being ex-
tended during the fifth national conven-
ton at San Francisco.
