LEGION PLANS FOR
NEW LEGISLATION

Enactment into law of the principle
of the universal draft is the foremost
point on the legislative program of the
American Legion for 1925-1926. accord
ing to National Commander John Il.
McQuigg. Passage of this law was
urged by the national convention
which was held at Omaha, the "chief
legislative activity of the Legion for
the coming year"
The object of the proposed law, the
commander declared, is to provide
that in the event of another war, there
will be no more slackers or profiteers,
but equal service for all and special
profits for none. The Legion believes
this plan will make war less likely
and will at the same time make the
nation better prepared for war should
it be forced upon the country.
Immediate adherence by the United
States ito a permanent court of inter-
national justice" Is sought. Every In
f1uence and power of the Legion should
favorable. vote in the United States
senate at the earliest practicable date"
the convention directed.
Provision for adequate forces for ma
tional defense, external and internal,
is supported by the Legion. This vet
Grams organization has requested the
government to make a thorough study
of the entire question of national de-
Tense. The national convention de-
clared itself Impressed with the pro-
pOsal to reorganize our national de-
Tense under one cabinet officer with
subdivisions of equal Importance for
the land, sea and air forces"
Retirement of disabled army officers
is sought.
The Legion is seeking to maintain
the United States Veterans bureau as
an Independent establishment of the
government. At the last session of
congress efforts were made to include
its functions under a proposed depart
ment of education and relief with a
secretary in the Presidents cabinet.
This was defeated and the Legion
plans to resist any further moves in
this direction which may be made at
this direction which may be made dur
ing the session of congress.
Creation of a permanent medical
corps in the Veterans bureau and
transfer of the national home for dis
abled volunteer soldiers to the bureau
are urged. The President is reported
by Director Frank t. Hines Of the
bureau, to have expressed himself in
favor of the medical corps.
Authorization of a hospital building
program to provide 1000 additional
beds at an estimated cost of S6,OOOOO
is recommended. Minor clarifying
amendments of the Reed-Johnson bill
for the disabled and of the Adjusted
Compensation Act are urged.

THE GOOD HE GOT

TN A questionable conducted
= by Frederick Palmer, famous
war correspondent, on the sub
ject of what Good Did You Get
Out of the World War;" Rev.
Ralph Stoody, st. Johnsbury, Vt,
won first prize of $50 for the fol-
lowing answer to the question:
"As a minister's son in a divin-
ity school | was unconsciously
being shaped into the conven-
tiOnal parsons mold.
"Waiving exemption, l enlist
ed. l found l had enrolled in
another school, the courses Of
which / needed.
"The result Is that though /
would not favor universal mill
tary training, I would so value
mine that I would almost APP
prove year in the army as
prerequisite for a theological de-
gree.
Il discovered:
"That intelligence Is not a mat
ter of campus experience nor of
university degrees.
"That essential gentlemanli-
ness is as apt to be found in the
immigrants son as in the col
lege presidents.
"That because a man appears
to be hard-boiled is no evidence
that on occasion he may not be
as tender as mother.
THAT in motive most profan-
ity is an offense against good
taste rather than a sin against
the Deity.
THAT many virtuous men have
foul mouths; that many vicious
s men are particular even with in
finitives.
That a Jew or a Protestant
or a Catholic is not to be evalu-
ated by his label, but with the
fidelity with which he practices
his tenets.
s THAT many man who claims
to have no religion is doing his
5 human best to live by the faith
his lips deny
THAT all kind deeds are not
done by deacons."

tor Of the largest Methodist
! church in Vermont, and is

the detective alphabetically. "I'll stroll

Where is your partner?" inquired
Oliver, looking ont over the swamp.

ahead. Il was about to say that it's
going to take good deal of tight

the next 30 days. The time is pretty

Oliver turned on him. "I'll knock

to remember it."
Oliver apologiZed to Malone as thew
were on the point of separating in
front of the house. They had trav-
ersed the hundred yards or more in
silence.
Il am sorry I spoke to you as did.
Mr.. Malone. | hope you will overlook
it,
Malone held out his hand. 'T've been
spoken to a good bit rougher than that
in my time, Mr.. Baxter, and never
turned a hair" he said good-naturedly.
II don't blame you for calling me
down. guess I was fresh. But / as
sure you l didn't mean t6he."
A little later on Oliver sat on his
front porch waiting for his guests TO
arrive. Mrs. Grimes, in her snug-fit-
ting black silk dress, rocked impa-
tiently in chair nearby. The guests
were late.

GROSSLY, breaking long silence. "She's
the one that's making 'em late"
He looked at his watch. "Its only

Malone"
"What difference does that make?

the old lady composedly. Here they
come. Goodness! The way that Parr

But Oliver was at the bottom of the
steps waiting for the automobile 1t
swung around the curve in the drive
and came to an unbelievably gentle
stop.

Miss Neville's Shower
Bride-tO-Be of Glenn Sykes Receives

Many Fine Gifts from Friends

The Woman's Missionary So

Christian parsonage for Miss
Grace Neville, who is soon to be
married to Glenn Sykes.
One who was there has given
the Weekly an account of the
party. "After the guests had

advice they could on how to
manage a husband, the door bell
rang and a portly colored man.

present. Informed that she
was, the visitor wedged her way
into the living room with an en-
ormous laundry basket filled to
overhowing with articles of
every kind for use in a kitchen.
Nanny finally located the
bride-to-be by the 'diamont' on
her finger and presented her
with the basket of gifts, an
nouncing that she was glad E.
nough to have got her husband
without any 'diamont' but gals
nowadays were so highfalutin'
they could not say yes till they

After the gifts had been

TALK OF WIDENING
THE MAIN STREET
Some Citizens Think There
Should be More Space for
Street, Less for Sidewalks
WILL DISCUSS 1T TO-DAY

A meeting. of the owners of
property on the business block
of Franklin street, between the
post-office and Andrews corner
is called today (Thursday) at
four o'clock in the office of
Town Manager Knox in the
Peoples Bank building.
The purpose Of the meeting
is to ascertain the opinion of
the owners with regard to the
proposal to widen the roadway
of this block.
Already the paving of the
street from curb to curb has
been legally authorized, and the
work will be done this summer.
The question is: Should the
roadway be widened, by cutting
off four or five feet from each
sidewalk, now at the same time
that the new pavement is laid?
Mr.. Knox, at the meeting
Monday night, told the alder
men that, if the widening were
approved, it would mean the
scrapping of the present curb
and the building of new one.
He said, also, that the weight
of authority was for granite
curb on blocks of heavy traffic,
rather than one of concrete.
Granite costs more than con-
crete but lasts much longer.
The town has been waiting to
find out just what type of pave
ment the University is to lay on
Cameron avenue and the Ra-
leigh road, so that, in the inter-
est of economy the two jobs
might be done together. The
University seems to be coming
around to a decision on concrete
rather than asphalt or penetra-
tion macadam, and concrete is
what the town prefers.
The authorities are anxious
to get started with the work,
so that it may be finished before
September.
