CARE FOR ORPHANS
AND DISABLED MEN

Inc American Legion will raise. a
rgnd of $5,000,0O0 or more for or
phaned children of the World war and
mdlgent and disabled former service
men IN nationwide campaign to be
launched soon, it was announced at
national headquarters of the Legion
recently. President Coolidge. at the
request of National Commander James
A. Drain of the Legion, accented the
honorary craftsmanship of the Legion's
national committee to raise the fund.
Inc endowment fund program was
gwen authorization by the sixth ma
tlohaI convention of the Legion at ST.
Faul, pending approval of the plan bv
the finance committee, which was
given at meeting of the committee at
national headquarters.
Inc urgent need of raising the fund
Immediately was pointed out by Mark
L. Mckee, Detroit. Mich, who is a
member of the Legion's child welfare
committee. He declared that the ex-
lstlng facilities of the Legion for car
ing Tor the orphaned and helpless chill
uren of former service men who were
Killed or died as a result of their war
service are overcrowded. At this time
the Legion maintains a children's bill
let at Otter Lake, Mich, and has one
under construction at Independence,
KanS.
There are 5000 children of dead
World war veterans who need care
right now" Mr.. Mckee saio, "out of
total of $4,000 war waits. AS time
goes on there will be more. These are
veterans bureau figures. Just the
other day man left four children at
the veterans bureau, children of a de
ceased war veteran, with a request
that they be cared for. The bureau
turned the children over to us. Some
how we will provide for them, yet our
present facilities will stand for no ex-
panSiOn."
In referring to the proposed fund,
Commander Drain declared: 1.-THE Le-
gion's endowment fund campaign will
be success; we will raise more than
the, set amount and the campaign will
have greatly beneficial effect upon
the morale of the Legion and increase
our membership for the coming year to
million members. We must look
close to home and see the great undeE
lying misery caused by the great con-
flict. We must help the disabled man.
He is our first obligation and he needs
us now. The American Legion must
keep faith with it's fallen comrades by
seeing that the helpless children are
not deprived of the opportunities that
are rightfully theirs, because their ia
theirs were killed fighting for their
country. Bind up the wounds of the
disabled and care for the widows and
orphans must be our slogan"
The Legion will petition congress to
make a technical change in the re-
Gently passed adjusted compensation
act to the effect that former service
persons may allot their compensation
to patriotic organizations chartered by
congress, the money to be used for
child welfare and disabled veteran
care The Legion would use such a
fund toward their endowment program
If congress sanctions the proposal, Lee
gion officials declared.

Concrete Trees

Not wishing to mar the natural seen
cry of Woodland park in Seattle,
Wash, by ordinary chimneys for the
camr stoves the park board solved the
problem by the erection of concrete
imitation trees. Sections of the bark
were used to make plaster molds, into
which the concrete was poured. The
result was treelike chimneys 20 feet
high, tall enough to mingle with the
foliage The color of the concrete was
varied so as to match the dark brown
