Legion Boosts Good Roads

A special session of the Missouri
state legislature TO consider plans for
extending the road appropriations has
been sought by members of the St.
Louis county council of the American
Legion. In letter to Governor Hyde,
the Legion men declare that they
learned the value of good roads while
in France, and that as the condition
of many roads in that state is deplor-
able, steps should be taken TO both
expedite and extend the road building
program. Under the proposal made
by the Legion men, authorizing of ad-
ditional funds would provide a COM
plete system by 1923.

Board of Appeals to
Hear Numerous Cases

Reorganization of the Central
Board of Appeals of the Veterans bu-
reau, increasing membership of that
body from seven to seventeen in order
to expedite cases presented, was first
proposed by the American Legion, Off
Gals of that organization declare.
About 1900 cases have been heard
annually by the reviewing board, but
the increased membership, it is be-
lieved, will permit nearly $4,000 cases
of disabled veterans to be presented.
Another change advocated by the
Legion and recently put into effect by
Director Frank 7. Hines, has been the
establishment of a finance division in
the bureau and separation of the dis
bursting and accounting sections.

Miss Mary Katherine Campbell,
twice proclaimed 'sMiss America, I"
has taken TANLAC and endorses it
in a statement recently given to the
women of America. In this state
ment, Miss America declares that
Good Health is the basis of all Beau
ty, and advises women who would be
beautiful to first find good health. :"
Her complete statement as given
is as follows: 81 consider it a great
privilege to be able to tell the thou
sands of women everywhere what a
great tonic TANLAC is. Health is
the basis of all beauty. Without
good health, one is apt to be run
down, nervous, underweight, high
strung, anemic. Indigestion drives
the roses from woman's cheeks and
robs her of that radiant quality Of
womanhood that is real beauty.

Director Hines has already announced

Big Rush to RenetU
Legion Membership

Membership of the American Legion
shows great quickening of interest,
Lemuel BoIles, national adjutant of
the organization has declared, after
reviewing the rapid renewal of mem
bership for 1924 Figures in the
hands of the officials of the organiza-
ton, indicate that renewals are 80 per
cent greater than in any previous year,
which fact is taken as a sign Of a
healthy condition.
Mr.. Bodies has said that such an
increase is due primarily to the OPP
position to the demands of ex-seryice
men for adjusted compensation, which,
he says, has only served to unity the
veterans that their request may be
needed. He says that charges to the
contrary are unfounded and only in
spired by designing persons who seek
to discredit the Legion because of it's
program.
One indication of the increased in
terest, according to the Legion man,
Is the unusual sales made by the di-
vision which handles official jewelry
for the organization. In two weeks
prior to Christmas, the sales of this
division exceeded by more than three
times, those of the previous year. An
other sign taken by the national Off
Gals as a splendid forecast, is the
rapid filling of the Five Hundred
Clubs" of posts which boast of more
than 1000 members. These clubs in
clude only the first five hundred men
to pay their dues. and without excep-
ton, all memberships were filed be

piece of ground for its home and clears

place an untidy look Then it brings
tufts and slabs of moss and builds up
a conical structure around the base of
the sapling, reaching an apex about
eighteen inches from the ground
Outside this it builds a parallel con-
