ington's claims.
Prof. Worthington said he was
perfecting at the present time a

exposures second, utilizing the
ideas Incorporated in his latest dis

Among the claims made by the
astronomer for the camera lie that
Of having photographed the historic
Carmel mission at midnight, utiliz-
ing the light of the moon and dis.
tant stars.
So remarkable were the pictures
taken, he asserts, that the church
steeple, intercepting the light Of the
Dog star. cast a notable shadow
over a section Of the picture.
Although admitting it possibly
has great possibilities in motion

ington asserts It's greatest value

blurred pictures of distant stars.

FORTY AND EIGHT"
QUARTERS ARE OPEN

Headquarters Of the Forty and
Eight" the fun-making branch of the
American Legion, has been officially
opened In indianapolis near national
headquarters of the parent organiza-
ton.
'The Forty and Eight" as 1t is
popularity known, Is founded. principally
for fun, and based on the now famous
boxcar In which the men of the A. r.
Il. moved about France The cars
were destined to hold either forty men
or eight horses, but just how the
French were ever able to crowd go
many men into so small q space re-
mains mystery to most Americans.
Incidentally, the fun originating from
the travels Of the soldiers In these
cars finds faithful portrayal In rit-
ualistic work of the Legion's shrine"
AT present the organization has
nearly 100 "voitures." or local chap
tiers. scattered throughout the United
States. To become a member of the
organization one must be a Legion
naire and have performed Some act of
service either for that organization or
distinctiyely for the benefit of veter-
ans. 1t counts as members the most
prominent and active Legionnaires In
the nation.
The society has other aims as well
as providing enjoyment for Legion
naires. In many places 1t takes over
the function of county council of the
Legion, providing funeral escorts for
deceased veterans, raising of funds for
the Legion and other movements, and
assisting the parent organization In
every manner possible. On national
scale the organization has attempted
to endow fund. earnings which will
be devoted to care Of orphaned chill
dren-aside from the Leglons pro-
gram-and an annual assessment is
made on each member for this pur-
pose. AS soon as this fund reaches
sufficient amount an active program
Of relief work among dependents of
World war veterans will be attempted.

France as business manager, and
through his efforts saved the party
thousands Of dollars. He was also In
charge Of the unofficial Legion tour In
France In 1922.
Wicker, Familiarity known to his com
rades as Jack" is a Kentuckian by
birth, though his parents, both Viz
glnians, were but temporary residents
of that state at the time. In religion
he is Baptist, as he followed In the
I footsteps OF his father, Baptist
preacher His grandfather was a
Scotch Presbyterian. his great grand
mother a Methodist. his grandfather a
Roman Catholic, and he has frequently
declared that he feels "kin TO all de-
nominations"
He was educated In the public
schools OF the state and took prepare.
tory training at peddle institute In
New Jersey. later attending Furman
university and the University of Rich
mond, where his ability as nm orator
brought him to the study Of law. He
was admitted to the bar after he at
tanned his majority.
Wicker had considerable difficulty In
entering service when war was de-
clared. First, he was married and had
two children; second, his eyesight was
defective. He sought admission to the
first training camp. to be rejected on
account of his sight. Then he vol
unteered In the navy, the marine and
infantry, but was refused each time
for the same reason. Desperate In his
resolve to serve he memorized the eye
test cards, and was accepted as a pri-
vate In the aviation signal corps of
the regular army. He received a com
mission with the air service and went
overseas where he served with the
Five Hundredth Aero squadron

Civic Improvement Is
Part of Legion's Work

That the American Legion Is or
ganized for selfish purposes for vet
Grams only is easily refuted by the
thousand Of instances where com
munity development is made subser-
Went to all else. News of Legion
participation In every phase Of civic
betterment Is received at national
headquarters daily, and recountal Of
this gives rise to the belief that the
Legion Is rapidly becoming one Of the
foremost movements In the nation for
progress Of the community.
The interest attached to many Of
these instances of participation by the
Legion men brings realization of the
possibilities OF the organization to
many public officials. One of these.
letter Of appreciation of the Legion's
effort. was written by Richmond d.
Moot chairman of the city planning
commission Of Schenectady. N. Y, who
came forward with a letter of endorse
ment Of the Legion's work In his city.
The letter follows:
THE men who served their country
In the World war have found another
field of service in time Of peace, and
within the last few years, the Schen-
ectady post Of the American Legion
has become the leading organization
for civic betterment. Slngle-handed, IL
secured the creation of the city plan
ming commission to plan the future of
the city; 1t stopped the illegal issuance
Of sewer bonds 1t created a Joint COM
mittee to study the city's finances: 1t
assisted the naturalization authorities
In securing better knowledge Of the
English language on the part Of APP
pllcants for citizenship; It has organ
lied and conducted the series Of pub
lie meetings to welcome new citizens;
is has conducted a series Of essay con-
tests, the latest being on the civic
questions In founding city planning in
the public schools; and annually fur
nishes the schools, both inside and out
side the city, with large number Of
speakers for all patriotic occasions. 1t
neither fears nor favors any little
group or selfish interest, and Its mem
bers are being drafted In increasing
numbers for public service. The Lee
gion has become and is destined to
continue the greatest force for con-
structive civic improvement"

department commander of the organ
Ization. For Commander Wicker.
whose penchant in matters Of govern.

Of Leglonnaires, his first objective

This is but part of the aim Of
Commander Wicker to make Ills de.

most vigorous If not the greatest In

1924 call for enactment Of the adjusted
compensation measure By the federal
government. erection of a non-utili

memorial, and appointment of com.
mlttee In the state law-making body
to handle all veteran legislation as has
been done In congress.
Wicker has been an ardent Legion.
naIre almost since the time Of the in
reptlon of the Legion. He was an or
ganizer in Virginia and was a charter
member Of Richmond post No. /. He
was elected to serve as a delegate to
the St Louis caucus In 1910, and has
attended every national convention
since that time. 1t was through his
efforts that the state of Virginia ap-
proprlated $1,000 for expense incident
to organizing the Legion throughout
the state, unprecedented In Legion an
mails. He held the position Of first ma
tlonal executive committeeman from
that state. and followed this by a sec
ond term, but refused to accept the
post for another year. He has served
on several Important national commit.

committee, and that which conveyed
to the Knights of Columbus the action
