lumbia there are 1856 reserve officers
of the air service. There will be
fifty reserve officers of this branch of
the service selected for fifteen-day

expected that at least 40 per cent of
the fifty selected will be from Wash
ington. The date of this training has
not been selected as yet. Col. Scott
states, however, that applications
should be filed at once. due to the fact
that the officers will be selected as to
priority of applications filed.

LEGION CONVENTION

Continued from Page One

Continued from Page One
How well the Forty and Eight
enters into the spirit of The Legion
is clear from the part which it has
played in seeking a solution for the
problems presented by the orphans
of our dead comrades and by The
dependent children of those com
rades who manned and broken
wrecks of war, can no longer care
for their children.
''Forty and Eight first saw those
pitiful waits of war, first saw with
eyes that see to the heart of a prob
lem and with souls that are stirred
by need to Immediate effort to
meet it. Forty and Eight perceived
that here were 5000 waits who hal
by the cruel DEGREES of war been
deprived of the tender hand of a
father to guide their infant steps
through life. Forty and Eight made
a high resolve that such cruel, such
bitter, such mocking injustice
should not be.
"Forty and Eight realized that a
mothers care is necessary to these
unfortunate little ones. It bent
every effort to keep the child with
the mother. Where that could not
be, under the grim force of necGs-
sity and by the stern logic of cir
cumstances, homes were found for
them, homes in proper surround
ings, where some loving heart would
strive to its utmost to make good to
them the place of the father and
mother that were gone.
"Today the Legion is erecting
children's billets to care for these
children, where the home cannot be
kept together and proper foster
homes cannot be provided. These
billets breathe the very air of
home. The Legion is determined
that these children shall not be
punished by lack of privileges be
cause their fathers died for their
country. It will see that the cruel
blows of fate are warded and tenn
pered insofar as they may. The dis
abled veterans of the war hold FIRST
place in the thought of The Legion
Next after them come these helpless
