Judge Day Again Wins
FAVOR With Legion Men

Judge L. B. Day of Omaha, Neb.,
who is already well known to members
of the American Legion for his aid to
aliens who served in the United States
military honorably. in securing citizen
ship, has deepened this appreciation
from Legionnaires by another act.
Frank Kubes, an alien, presented
himself in court for naturalization and
testified that he had not claimed ex-
emption from military service with the
United States because of allegiance to
another country.
This did not satisfy naturalization
examiners, who wrote to Washington
for particulars. When Kubes' record
came back it was found that he had
owed allegiance to another country,
and this was reported to Judge Day,
who Immediately recalled the naturali-
cation papers.
The jurist told the man that a per-
son who thus evaded service to ma
ton which he hoped to call his own
was unfit for citizenship, and his atti-
tude was received with appreciation by
Legionnaires of Omaha.

He Raised Flag OUer
School After Apology

A school director in Pope county,
Ariz., recently changed his mind about
hosting an American flag over the dis
trict school, in compliance with state
law. The American Legion asked and
secured passage of statute at the last
session of the legislature, providing
that during school sessions the Ameri-
can flag should be flown over the build
ing.
The director refused to comply with
the law and wrote rather arrogant let
ter to the county superintendent Of
schools. This official passed the letter
and facts concerning the case on to the
prosecuting attorney, who called the
director before him for an apology.
This was forthcoming, though the
director did not explain his reason for
refusing to raise the flag at first, givins
as his defense that he had been a
loyal citizen during war time" He
ordered the flag raised over the school
after his apology.

ADDITIONAL HONORS
FOR BLIND VETERAN

FRANK Schoble, blinded World war
veteran, and one of the nations best
examples OF how disabled man may
become rehabilitated, has won addi-
tlonal honors Schobles home is at
Wynecote, Pa, but he has been at
tending the University of PENNSYLVANIA
since 1921. There he won a member
snip IN Phi Beta Kappa. the highest
scholastic honor that student may re-
ceive.
Schoble was blinded five days before
the aiTEistice as he led his men near
Nantlllois in the Argonne sector. Re-
turning, he resolved to re-enter the
school that he had left thirteen years
before to enter business life, only to
face many handicaps.
His first obstacle was credit for his
previous work. Scholastic require
ments had SO increased that though he
was in his junior year when he hac
left the school, he was given credit
but for work covering year and
half.
Then another handicap presented
Itself. He had not yet learned to read
and write by the Braille system, and
was forced to have this knowledge to
continue his studies. He was not
daunted, however, and his applications
have just won him the most coveted
honor Of the institution.
Schoble is an active member Of the
American Legion, and has spoken be-
fore many Pennsylvania posts of the
Legion. Without any bitterness against
the fate which shut him off from sight,
he said to his comrades:
II see line upon line Of khaFi-clad
men, my comrades in tie war, going
forward in that drive that forced the
enemy from his position, and that
within few short weeks had expelled
him from the Argonne.
"That sight to my mind represents
the spirit of the American soldiers,
and of the Legion itself You are go
ing forward to your objective.
II feel / have an advantage over all
you men. with that final picture In my
mind. You men here are to me not an
assemblage of civilians, but of soldiers,
in spirit wearing that uniform and 60
ing forward. You are going to carry
on until the whole nation of 100000
is in line.

pride in what others do for him; he
is not going to be proud Of what he

When "Kokomo" got back to his
home town of Corning, Ia, the citizens
set him up in business with a restau-
rant and cigar stand. But the role Of
town hero didn't appeal to the old vet
eran, so he visited his former battalion
commander, who is now state auditor
of Iowa, and asked for a job. They
needed man to polish the brass rail-
ings in the capitol building and "Ko-
