EXPECT CONGRESS
TO GIVE APPROVAL

Designation by President Coolidge,
In his annual message to the Sixty
eighth congress, of the American Lee
gion as "the chief and most represen-
tative body of veterans" and his APP
prevail in great part of the Legion's
legislative proposals. is taken by Lee
gion officials as an Indication that the
Legion's legislative program will re-
ceive careful consideration by the
congress.
Among the more important meas
1res that will be proposed by the Lee
gion and pressed for passage during
the present short session of congress
are: Universal service act for conscrip-
ton of men, money and materials in
case of war; technical amendments to
the adjusted compensation bill which
would make it possible for beneficI-
aries to allot compensation to patri-
otto organizations chartered by con-
gress, the money to be used for veteran
rehabilitation and child welfare; an
amendment making heirs eligible to
the full benefits of the compensation
act without full proof of dependency;
a bill calling for the immediate enact
ment of legislation for the retirement
of disabled emergency army officers
and amendments to the civil service
law giving preference to ex-service
persons.
AS regards rehabilitation and hos
pitallzatiOn of the disabled veteran,
always of first consideration in the Lee
gion's legislative program, President
Coolidge pointed out in his message:
with the authorization for general
disqualification of the veterans of all
wars, provided during the present
year, the care and treatment of those
who have served their country in time
of peril and the attitude of the gov
eminent toward them is not now so
much one of needed legislation as one
of careful, generous and humane ad-
ministration. 1t will ever be recognized
that their welfare Is of the first con-
Germ and always entitled to .slc most
soliciious consideration on the part Of
their fellow-citizens."
During the past year the Legion
urged and secured the passage Of the
World war veterans act, the most
comprehensive legislation yet passed
for the benefit of the disabled veteran.
President Coolidge summed up his APP
prevail of the Legion's Irogram for
this session by recommending: with
many of the proposals join in hearty
approval and commend them all to the
sympathetic investigation and consid-

Would Turn Clay Home
Into Memorial Park

The American Legion of Lexington,
KY, would have Ashland" the old
home of Henry Clay, taken over by the
government and made the site of ma
tional park. At a recent meeting the
Legionnaires approved the plan and
will urge that legislation to that effect
be presented to the next congress.
Should the congress fail to approve the
plan the state Of Kentucky will be
urged to acquire tire property as a
state memorial, for, the Legionnaires
point out, "while Henry Clay was
native Of Virginia, his public services
and fame belong to Kentucky and no
better way could be devised to per-
petuate his memory than for the state
to purchase Ashland and convert 1t
into a memorial park"

Coon Hunt and Feast
Brings NeU Members

Coon dogs, ranging in pedigree from
nondescript nuts" to the most valu-
able of animals, were in unusual de-
mand recently in Terre Haute, Ind.
The reason was to be found in the an
nuai coon hunt staged by American
Legionnaires Of Terre Haute. Men,
bers of the Legion from miles around
gather for this annual hunt In such
numbers there aren't enough dogs with
coon-hunting procliyities to go around.
The Legionnaires put on a big coon
feed and membership rally after the
hunt, which increased the membership
Of the post at the expense of the coon
population Of the region.
