McQuigg Reports Membership of

National Commander Lays Stress on Importance of Home Post Saying Strength of Organiza- tiOn Is There-Over 17,0GO Claims Handled.

Philadelphia, Oct, II LPl-Review- ing the Work of the American Le- zion the last year, John R. Me- Quigg, national commander, in pre- sentins his report 10 the annual con- vention today. said there never was a time when the public was so great ly interested and so willing to CO., operate in carrying out the Legions aims and purposes.
 Reports Year Of Success
 The national commander reported a year of success in every line of Legion endeayor and said that virtually all the tasks set by the Omaha convention last year had been accomplished. He called at ttntion to outstanding events in the work of rehabilitation. child wei fare, necessary legislation, continual ton of the endowment fund, the changing of the American Legion weekly, to monthly publication, and the nationwide membership campaign. The membership, he sad, was now 67S,229. an increase of 79,- GA over 1925. and greater than at any time since December 1922.
 17,000 Claims Handled
 Commander McQuigg reported that the claims activities conducted by the national rehabilitation com mittee in Washington, and in its various field offices, involved the handling of more than 17,000 cases for veterans and their dependents last year. These resulted in the re- coycry of nearly two million dol lars in actual cash benefits, not talk ing into consideration future com pensation payments. He estimated that for every dollar expended by the Legion in this work twenty dol lars had accrued to the benefit of some deserving disabled veteran or his dependents.
 Much New Legislation
 All legislation asked last year had been enacted. he said, with the eX- CtpLlOH bl lltt uIHtpltu tlIlt4 SEiJN army officers bill, which was still pending.
 We are not voted 10 any one policy of care for our children" he pointed out, but are at all times giving the child the kind of assis- tance that is best suited to its needs and that Is in accordance with the approved standards of child care. All our efforts are bent toward a prac- tical realization of our slogan: "A home for every homeless child of veteran"
 The LcGlon's Strength
 He said the strength of the Legion was in the local post.
 The local post ought to be familiar with the needs and require rcnts of its own community" he declared. "The home sector Is the province Of the local post and should not be encroached upon by either state or national headquarters.
 "Only international matters, and questions and problems concerning the Legion generally, and questions of national importance, including matters of policy as fixed by our national convention. should be the concern Of national headquarters"

ALLING PLAYS OWNER
 OF GAS PUMP ON CURB
Reads Stern Lecture to Google on Councils
 Authority

The only gasoline pumps remain l ing on street curbs in violation of the city ordinance which caused the removal of several others, were un- der discussion before Judge filling in police court this morning, when Harry Alex, proprietor of an acces- sorry store at 96 Arch street, and Nathan Google, who sells gasoline at 513 East street. were arraigned.
 Google, after pleading not guilty, told Judge filling he would take the pump out if told to do so by the court, which brought a quick reply from Judge filling, who reminded Google that the common council has been given the power by the legis- ! lature to make ordinances and has made one affecting pumps on curbs. You have been notified that your pump is in violation of the ordi- nance, yet you persist in operating | It." the judge said. Then you come in here and tell this court you will obey the law If you are told to. Sup posing every man who came before this court on the charge of drunk enness expected to be told not to get | drunk again or every man arrested for murder was told not to do 1t again. This court does not pass on i the merits of the law, or the reasons for passing the law, but 1t is here to 1 deal with violators You who have not removed the pumps seem to question the right Of the common council to pass the ordinance"
 Google went on to say that he 1 leased the place and he would have the pump taken out if told to. Judge Aling asked him if it is true that the license is in his name, and he re- piled affirmatively. He asked him If
 he is the party who sells the gaso- line and operates the pump and the answer was affirmative. Then you
 are the one who violated the law, the judge concluded. "I'll continue
 this case until Saturday morning,
 and want that pump out of there by that time."
 All right, your honor. Of course
 1t may take some time to sell the
 gas that's in the pump" Google
 commenced. but got no farther, as
 Q judge cut in with the warning:
 This court Is not interested in the
 gas that's in there or the time 1t
 takes to sell it; have that pump out of there by Saturday. That's all" Alex, whose case was called first
 blended not guilty through Attorney
 Alfred Levitt and asked that a con-
 tinuance until Saturady morning be allowed, saying Prosecuting Attor- ney Woods is agreeable. "Ill con
 tinue the case until Saturday. but on
 Saturday there will be no further continuance" the judge said
