LEGION
Copy for This Department Supplied by the
American Legion News Service)
GIVES ATTENTION
TO DISABLED MEN

Marked advances In governmental
care of disabled World war veterans
have been made during the past year,
according to report on the work of
the year prepared by Chairman Wat
son B. Miller, of the national rehabili-
tation committee of the American Lee
gion. Improvements were in line with
recommendations made by the Legion
committee.
Service of the United States Vet
Grams bureau was greatly improved as
a result of its decentralization, a re-
view of all old and disallowed claims,
a vast volume Of correspondence In
forming veterans of their rights under
new legislation and new regulations
and the preparation of new rating
schedule.
The effect Of these changes and inno-
vations has been to carry the service
Of the bureau out into the field in
Intimate contact with the veteran and
his dependents. A new attitude OF
helpfulness and cooperation toward
the veteran has marked the admins
tration of the bureau.
In May 5000 more veterans were
getting hospital care by the bureau
than in July year ago. -Four of
every five of the 29,424 veterans in
hospitals were in their home states,
as against only one in two year ago.
Hospital facilities were increased by
5000 beds during the year. New con-
struction will add 1,016 beds, and plans
are being drawn for five or six addi-
tional hospitals. Special attention is
being given to providing for disabled
women veterans, of whom 1,645 are
drawing compensation, PAL are hos
pitalized and 1855 have tuberculosis.
Passage Of the Reed-Johnson bill
and its amendments has resulted dur
Ing the year in an increase in benefits
to &c. 33 disabled men and women to
a total of 16,493, 1866, an average per
veteran of $4S1.30. Full benefits of
this legislation, Mr.. Miller says. have
not yet been felt.
Only about half of the 100000 or
100000 old cases under review have
been completed. In about 10 per cent
of these cases benefits from the new
laws accrue to the veteran or his de-
pendents.
Among those benefited during the,
first year Of this legislation are 10000
shell-shocked veterans to a total of
$4,620,501 and 1O,281 tuberculosis
cases to a total of $S,409, 489. Other
benefciaries include helpless, totally
deaf, and blind veterans and men af-
fiicted with sleeping sickness, amoebic
dysentery and paralysis agitans.

MILLIONS LOST AS
STOCKS CRASH IN N. Y.
Raising of Discount Rate Pre-
cipitdfes Rush to Sell
Market in Panic.

New York.-When the New York
Stock Exchange closed Tuesday prices
were a wreck and all records for
volume of dealings had been shat
tered.
Even the famous Northern Pacific
corner of 1901, heretofore the guide
rule of big trading sessions, was
pushed into obscurity when toll! had
been taken of exchange of stocks.
Millions of dollars of paper pr<s6ts
were wiped out and a handsome sum
in actual losses to the late Corners
was established in the twinkling of an
eye. From the start to the end-al-
most uninterrupted-prices went down
and down, with final quotations to
70 points under Monday.
To the aristocratic town of Boston
goes the full creditor condemnation
for turning the tide overnight
Widest bullishness gave way to rank
pessimism after the directors CT the
Federal Reserve bank Of Boston ad-
vanced their rate of discount from
311 to per cent.
There were any number Of features
In the stock market, but ahead of
them all came the fact that 1t was
the biggest day In the history of the
exchange. There were 3,427, 600
shares traded in during the day, the
first time the 3.OOO,0OO-mark has been
exceeded since December 81, 1915,
when trading totaled 3,176,O0O shares
and prices declined 1 to 33 points In
the so-called peace note leak" The
record for trading which was exceed
ed Tuesday was the volume of
S30l,2OO shares established on April
~, 1901, just before the famous North
ern Pacific corner.
Automobile stocks were the pivot
OF the break. just as they had set
the pace for the advance One point
price changes between transactions
were common, three to FIVE point
breaks frequent.
Chrysler, sensational performer as
usual, ended 25 points under Monday,
and other stock accordingly.
The complete story is told by the
Dow-Jones averages. Twenty repre-
sentative industrials closed at 1880
average, or 5.83 points under the pre-
vious day.

Legion ElOe Plan Will
Add to Endowment Fund

Shepherds and boys and girls sheep
clubs throughout the country, it Is ex-
pected, will add thousands of dollars
to the American Legion 100000 en-
dowment fund for disabled veterans
and orphans of the World war,
through the Legion Eve" plan con-
ceived by w. w. Burch, editor of the
American Sheep Breeder and Wool
Grower.
Mr.. Burch has suggested that every
shepherd and every member of the
boys and girls sheep clubs in the
country pick out Of his flock a good
eve and dedicate her to the Legion.
The proceeds from her wool and lambs
each year would be given to the near
est Legion post to apply to the dis
abled veterans and orphans fund
During the World war, at the sug-
gestion of the American Sheep Breed
er and Wool Grower, the shepherds OF
the country responded to the emer-
gency by donating wool for making
blankets for the soldiers. Thousands
of pounds of wool found it's way from
the backs of sheep to the backs OF
doughboys through the generosity OF
the gentle shepherd in those bellicose
days.
1--WE want every owner of a flock,
however large or small, to know what
hundreds of shepherds are doing for
the disabled veterans and orphans of
the World war through the Legion eve
plan," said Mr.. Burch. IF those shep-
herds who have not yet set aside their
Legion eve would do so the Legion
fund would be oversubscribed. Pick
out your Legion laft0."
Reports reaching national endow-
meat headquarters indicate the Legion
eve plan is being rapidly adopted by
owners of focks.
Proceeds from the Legion eve
should be sent to the nearest Legion
post or to American Legion national
headquarters at Indianapolis, Ind
Mr.. Burch said.

Eau Claire-According to an opin-

poration Counsel X. B. Fleming, there
is no legal method by which the coun-
Gil can call a special election to pass
on the question of changing the pres
ent commission plan Of government In

Some weeks ago a petition containing
1,010 names was filed with the city
clerk asking that such an election be
called under chapter Ga of the WiscOn-
sin statutes. In this opinion the cor
poratiOn counsel points out that the
sections providing for the method Of
calling the election were repealed by
the 1921 legislature and that no pro-
vision had been enacted in lieu Of
these or supplying plan for an cleo
ton under chapter Ga
