LEGION IS PRAISED

GOV. CLAIMING II. cox, of
- Massachusetts, speaking at
the state convention of the
American Legion held at Pitts
. field recently, praised the Lee
gion as patriots at time when
. patriots are needed. He said:
"At times when it has seemed
. that the people had forgotten
their obligations to their state
; and nation, the Legion has al
ways called their attention to
; them. 1t was the Legion that
came to the rescue last Patriots
; day in Boston. 1t rallied a pa
rade through the streets of the
state capital and averted the
effects of the propaganda which
was being circulated at that
time. On Armistice day, too,
with the huge demonstration in
Boston the Legion showed it's
strong right arm. 1t means
much to have you men who
know your duty and do it, of
conserving the patriotism of the
people of this country, and your
leadership is indeed appropriate
and timely"

garments as she had always yearned
for, but Flora never would let her

her did Violet and Marguerite.
They had backslidden. They had
escaped her. They had. the very in

hands from them, run back into the

sobs rose in her throat, checked her,
her eyes were bright with scalding

But even through these tears she
saw something more. In their

her that she had always treasured
And in the love was queer. wistful

Flora drew in her breath sharply.
Why. they were afraid of her, afraid

She put her engaging yellow head

From the airship voyages of Santos

Santos-Dumont, as fact, showed
Zeppelin that the thing could be done.
Gust one detail may be mentioned
before Santos. to take up an explosive
gasoline engine beneath an infiam-
mable gas bag was declared by all
ballooning experts to be the sure
trick to make a chariot of fire in the

ed that he exclaimed to his discour-
aged financial hackers:
What. Shall we let that young
whippersnapper in Paris do, to world
applause, what we. for Germany, at
tempt-and confess that we cannot do
it!'
It decided, in fact, the first Zeppelin

This, perhaps, is one of the reasons
why the French government has been
slow to honor Santos for his dirigi-
bles-yet had France backed him in
building rigid gas-envelopes on a
large scale, who knows what airships
France might not have had in 1914!
