the hog be looked after at this period. Save the

Legion Men Haze Raft,
but No Water in Lake

Legionnaires of WoOdstown, n. j.,
know how disappointed Noah would
have been if. after building him an ark,
the promised deluge had not been
forthcoming to float the said ark. Re-
Gently they builded them a raft Of
great dimensions to be floated upon
the waters of the Woodstown and vi
cinity Memorial Lake" only to have
their raft left high and dry on the
shores of waterless lake. AS a re-
suit of litigation with one of the abut-
ting property owners the lake basin
is an excellent replica of the Sahara
desert, and TO decide whether or not
there shall be water in the lake, the
good citizens of Woodstown will go to
the polls soon. The Legionnaires have
adopted as their campaign slogan,
Fill the lake to float our raft"

Thought U. S. Flag Was
Solid Crimson Block

Congressman A Piatt Andrew, wear
ing Legion button, recently addressed
the sixth annual convention of the
American Legion at Pittsfield, Mass.
and in the course of his remarks told
the following yarn:
when the Harvard medical unit
was in a~little village in France in the
early days of the war, the natives de-
veloped the idea that the United
States flag was solid block of Grim
son. In consequence whenever it be-
came known that the Yanks were
about to heave in sight, red blankets
were draped from windows, red muf-
fiers were unwound from children's
necks and red flags were flown wher-
ever possible. The peasant women
unhitched their red petticoats, came
to the doors of their cots and danced
on the steps while they waved these
undertakings and joyously screamed,
TO ell wiz Yale, to ell wiz Yale, as
the lads marched by. This caused
Ralph hobart of Cambridge, cheer
leader, to call for three and tiger for
the Gloucester buddy"

Grabbing RattIes in Their
Infancy Is Right Plan

The more expensive a car is the
longer you expect Ii to run without
rattles. Yet it Is possible with even
the lowest priced cars to keep the
rattles out If you but catch them as
they appear. They will come one by
one and If they are caught in the
same manner they will not be near
ly so hard TO remove as they would
be if they are allowed to accumulate
in a troublesome chorus before they
are stopped.
Rattles In the brake linkage and
other parts under the car can be
found by shutting off the engine and
allowing the car to coast in neutral
gear. If someone stands or sits on
the running board while the driver
does this. many sounds that have been
difficult to locate will be readily found.
These link rods are a typical example
of noise that will often defy the eff
forts of the driver to find, while an
other person sitting on the running
board or outside the car will have
little or no difficulty in locating them

A FEELING OF SECURITY
WHEN YOU USE
SWAMP ROOT

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence Is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken IN
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
It is natures great helper IN relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.

Place for Extinguisher
on the Running Board

Where to put the extinguisher is an
open question Under the dash is the
customary place. But almost every
motor car fire endangers this spot.
Flames sometimes envelop the extin-
guisher before the driver has chance
to unlock It. The most logical place,
from the fire standpoint. Is to place IL
on the running board. but this not only
spoils the cars looks, but tempts chill
dren to NEEDLE with it. For roadsters.
especially. the extinguisher can be car
ried on brackets at the base of the

handy. For touring cars a good place
is the back of the front seat. Here it

WOMEN MEMBERS ARE
LIVE DICTIONARIES

A bursting shell in the Chateau
Thierry area overturned an ambulance
but the woman who was driving 1t
was pulled out of the wreckage only
slightly injured. That accounts for
the fact that Mrs J. W. Atkins is
still alive-so much so that she is
counted one Of the livest Legionnaires
of which the Lowe McFarlane post Of
the Legion, Shreveport, La, boasts.
The energy and spirit that enabled
Mrs. Atkins to enroll many members
in the Lowe McFarlane post recently
is the same she displayed in the great
war
She served six months as an am
bulance driver at the French front
with Miss Anne Morgans famous
unit, the American Committee for
Devastated France, which did volun-
teer service with the Third French
army Mrs Atkins, if she so minded.
could relate many vivid and thrilling
stories of her experiences while driy-
ing her ambulance and caring for the
wounded She was at the battle of
-Thierry where her ambulance
was overturned by shell. 1--WE were
there to help and not to be helped
and performed service just as man,
Mrs. Atkins says. She did all the re-
pair work on her ambulance that did
not require the service of a skilled
mechanic On one occasion she re-
paired II punctures in one day on her
machine. Nor is Mrs. Atkins the only
woman member Of which LoweMcFar-
lane post boasts.
Many years ago a sparkling little
girl playing outside the walls of st.
James palace in London caught the
and gave her a string of beads, say
ing: you're a bright little GIRL here
take these beads to go with your
brightness"
The prince later became King Ed
ward of the British empire and the
little girl grew into refulgent woman
hood, retaining and emanating the
same cheerful spirit, as United
States army nurse, which had once
pleased the prince of Wales, and
which, incidentally, is now pleasing
the members of Lowe-McFarlane post
of which she is a most active member
and member-getter.
Mrs Butler was born near st.
James palace in London, but follow
ing her marriage came to this coun-
try. During the war Mrs. Butler
'joined up" as nurse and made ex-
istence brighter for the boys at Camp
Macarthur base hospital, Waco, Tex.
Following her discharge she went to
Shreveport where she is successfully
operating a small poultry farm known
as BLUE Bird Cottage" a honey lit
tie bungalow place surrounded by
flowers and shrubbery. Although Mrs.
Butler lives IA miles from Shreve-
port, ''the little lady of Blue Bird Cot
.age" very rarely misses a Legion
meeting and is always smiling when
she gets there.

Poor Cement Is Blamed
for Failure of Patches

One reason, perhaps, why great
many roadside and amateur tire
patches do not hold when the tube is
assembled into the shoe is that rubber
cement is used which is not up to the
mark.
Usually the cement has been re-
posing in the cars tire repair kit for
quite a time, and 1t is therefore not
so fresh and active as il once was.
Be sure to get the best materials you
can. in the first place. and. further,
before going on a long trip examine
the tire repair kit to make sure every
thing in it is in good condition
Better an inspection before the start
of the trip than regrets at the poor
shape everything is in later when
called upon to fix a puncture out on
the road

Post in Massachusetts
Builds DUN Clubhouse

Methuen post of the American
Legion at Lawrence. Mass, recently
closed deal whereby their post ex-
chequer was enriched to the extent Of
several thousand dollars. Nor have
they embraced the great profession
born of the Eighteenth amendment
They merely contracted with them
selves to build by themselves their
clubhouse for themselves, and hence
they now have clubhouse which big
hearted contractors would have been
glad TO put up for them at some FIVE
thousand dollars more than it cost
them by doing their own labor.
