RADIO STATION IS
USEFUL TO LEGION

Official use of the radio as a means
Of communication with american Lee
gion members was forecast almost a
year ago, but the organization has
Just begun this means of disseminating
Legion news and views to its member
ship and to the general public.
On March 80, National Commander
John r. Quinn formally opened Lee
gion use of the radio at station WTAS,
Elgin, H., as official station for the
Legion. The station is owned by
Charles e. Erbstein, a Chicago at
torney, and is located at his summer
home. Broadcasting is done on 286
meter wave length, which permits it to
be heard in all sections Of the country.
Commander Quinn spoke on the pol
icies of the Legion, enunciating the
accomplishments of the organization
for the disabled, its plans for welfare
of children orphaned by the World war
and its fight against radicalism. Word
was received by telegraph from 25
states that the Legion message had
been heard through the air.
The program is to be continued on
each Sunday afternoon and on Tues
day nights. On these occasions, some
one of the Legion's orators will speak
on certain phases of Legion activity
and musical programs furnished by Lee
gion vocalists, glee clubs, instru-
mentalists, orchestras, and bands win
be heard
Mr. Erbstein's interest in the treat
ment and care of the disabled, and his
feeling toward success of the Legion's
aims are responsible for the prefer
ring of his station.
Use of this station, If successful,
opens a way Of communication for the
Legion that will be unlimited, and it is
not impossible that the organization
will soon own and operate its own
station from national headquarters.

Should Mean Much to
Comrades Who Survive

Present-day Americans cannot with
wisdom desert the historic traditions
which their forefathers held in such
high regard. Memorial Day has of late
years degenerated, not due to lack of
zeal on the part of the few old SOL
diers remaining, but because of lack
of appreciation by later generations
of the spirit which actuated its incep-
ton. The World war took it's awful
toll; thousands there are who sleep
forever in France, or Belgium, or some
other foreign land. The bodies of
thousands more have found a last
resting place in the native sod.
Memorial Day should mean much to
their comrades, to those who came
safely home. And to the friends of
those who came not back. Then let
nation rededicate itself to Memorial
day, in the spirit which first inspired
those who paid homage and respect
to the soldier dead of the United
StateS-Grit
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1924-05-21

America can show more reverently,
more sympathetically, more heartfelt
appreciation and gratitude for our
boys who in the World war as in all
other conflicts in which the republic
has been engaged, led the van, causing
victory to perch upon the banners Of
righteousness
Bring flowers to garland the graves
of Americas soldier dead. What more
appropriate? Tears for. the dead, help
for the living We must not forget the
MANNED and suffering, that legacy left
by the frightfulness of the most fero-
cious and heartless war in the history
of the world. Kaiser Wilhelm sits in
the shadow of Dutch hospitality and
broods over the fall of the HohenZol-
lern dynasty. His punishment is small
compared to the suffering his guilty
reign inflicted on his fellow beings.
Doubtless he is now counting the cost
when it is too late to save him from
the just condemnation of mankind.
Many thousands of graves will this
year be decorated in France, graves of
American soldiers who paid with their
lives for their patriotic stand for God
and country when the bugle sounded
for the march across the ocean.

Tributes Are Due
to Fallen Heroes
Observance of Memorial
Day Is Duty and Privi-
lege of Americans.

IA MEMORIAL Day, originated as a
N tribute to the fallen heroes of
the Civil war, has come in
these later years to mean much more
than that, says a writer in the Detroit
Free Press. The dwindling lines of
the Old Guard representing the Grand
Army of the Republic, will soon pass
in last review before the inspector
general, and the heroes of other, later
wars will take their places.
1t is well that we Americans keep
In memory all our men who struggled
in battle to keep Old Glory flying in
the heavens. These men, heroes of
the Spanish-American war and those
of the World war conflict, now loom
large on the national horizon, and to
them, as well as to the remnant of the
Old Guard that kept watch and ward
along the Potomac and in the Missis-
sippi valley during the dark days of
the Civil war, our solemn graciousness
is due.
We can never do enough to show
our appreciation of what they did in
time of trial, and it is meet that we
assemble each Memorial Day and give
thanks to Almighty God for the vic
tories won by these sons Of the repub-
lie on so many ensanguined fields of
war.
The blue-clad armies that met and
conquered the hosts OF Lee In the
sixties have their counterparts in the
lads in khaki who stemmed the Ger

hordes of the kaiser that the despised

CINNAMON AND BRONZE

Once there was held a convention
of clever business women. From De
troit, Cleveland, Seattle, New York and
elsewhere they hobnobbed or devel-
oped temporary factions and antag-
onisms. Many "big" women stood out
from the crowd.
One of them was particularly strik-
Ing looking. She wore brown, not dead
brown, but "the vivid child of CHINA
mon and bronze" as some one put 1t.
Sports coat, dinner dress, evening
dress, all carried the same note. Her
clothes spoke of money, of good taste,
of that sophisticated something that
makes woman look distinguished
100 yards away.
By and by some of the distant curl
GUS got closer to the stranger. Her
age was apparently the early thirties.
Her coloring was the sort to support
and be intensified by the clever warm
brown flannel and bronzed brocade.
"She runs book store and makes
$4,000 year." was the next item of
information that went the rounds.
"She's very sure of herself, but not
in the least snippy," some one else
contributed.
"And did you notice that when
bonds were pledged in the executive
session she just naturally seemed to
head up her state delegation?" an
other Miss Gossip announced.
introduced eventually, Christine
Coffee proved, as the girl said, calm
but not snippy. She had driven her
mother and sister up for the week-a
5O0-mile drive not all over good roads
and she had to see that they were
amused. That had kept her from max

The book store, In the West Vir-
ginia capital, started as a very tiny
venture. 1t had grown gradually but
soundly as the shifting population OF

calm eyes, finding out what people
want and furnishing it to them seems
like doing sums in multiplication. Yet

Occasionally, from unexpected
sources, some other detail of Christine

drifts into daylight. None of them
contradict the impression given by the

To Probe Cases of Men
in Penal Institutions

Among recent departments of the
American Legion to begin surveys Of
penal institutions In their states, with
view Of segregation of mentally I'M
balanced from ordinary criminals, are
Massachusetts and Indiana.
The survey was authorized by the
national organization following dis
closures in Wisconsin that q large per
cent Of ex-service men confined in the
penitentiaries were sufferers from
mental arrangement, and were con-
fined In ordinary institutions, not re-
ceiving treatment for this disability.
This survey was instigated by Gov
ernor Blaine of Wisconsin on sugges-
ton Of F. Ryan Duffy, now national
vice commander of the Legion, and
called national attention to the prob
lem. Immediately surveys under di-
rection Of the Legion were started In
half a dozen states, with the result
that many former service men are
now receiving treatment for some dis
ability incurred in war.
In Massachusetts where the survey
was ordered by Department Com
mander Clarence R. Edwards, it has
been determined that there are 400
veterans now at Deer island, num-
Der of whom may be transferred to
some institution for treatment. De-
partment Commander A. E. Ball Of In
diana has arranged to make the sur
vey in his state one Of the most COM
prehensive yet attempted, as the case
of every ex-service man found In
prison will be reviewed in attempts to
settle claims and pay adjustments.
