INSTITUTIONAL relentless attack on the Anti
Saloon League and other organizations that vlify the
livery of Christ" made by Representative James
A. Gallivan, Democrat of Massachusetts, in the House
recently.
Opposing the section in the Treasury appropriation
bill granting $25000000o for the apprehension of vio
ators of the Vosead act Mr.. Gallivan told in fash
ion at times dramatic at times whimsical of the proh
bition agent in the Hotel Mayfower in Washington who
had masqueraded Representative Theodore F. Bur
ton, of Ohio, while the latter in Europe in connec
ton with foreign debt settlements.
Upshaw and Blanton Stunned
Seldom have the drys been hit so hard Representa-
tves Upshaw of Georgia and Blanton of Texas sat as
if supefed while the Massachusetts man denounced this
improper expenditure" of funds and the dancing der
wishes of the American branch of Mahomet's religion
for "scoffing at the Holy Scriptures"
Their resentment at the attack, which Representa-
tive Galivan warned them coming, took concrete
form before Mr.. Gavan the floor. He said
that he had been threatened in the lobby of the Demo-
cratic cloak that if he made his speech the Anti
Saloon League would put five Democrats in the field
against him next autumn in the primaries so that
dry Republican could sneak in. 81 challenge Wayne B.
Wheeler and his Wlies to to my district" said
Mr.. Gallvan. Hell find that if keep my health I'll

HOW VIRGINIA VETERANS


DO BUSINESS
Charleston, w. Va.,-The most
dramatic incident of the highly dram
attic finish of the Lindsey national
membership contest participated in
by American Legion departments de-
veloped here at midnight February
27.
At conference of department
and post officials here that night it
developed that West Virginia might
not have enough cards to make sure
of the Lindsey trophy cup. At mid
night A. E. Ham,, commander of
Huntingdon Post, who came to the
conference with $50 cards, said,
"Boys, it's late; but there's lot of
perfectly good Legion memberships
asleep back in Huntingdon. We've
got to go back tonight, wake 'em
up and sign 'em!'
Beginning shortly after midnight
the Nocturnal canvass began. 1t lasted
until train time the next morning
when the train, carrying Depart
ment Commander Arthur G. Yates
and Department Adjutant R. G.
Merrick in last minute dash to ma
tional headquarters with cards, pull
ed through Huntingdon. Commander
Ham stepped aboard with a pack
age in his hands. "You can use
these probably" he said and stepped
off as the train pulled out.
In the package were 202 paid-up
memberships of Huntingdon Post
gathe red by the midnight canvass.

COMMANDER URGES
INSURANCE RENEWAL

Washington, D. CA powerful
argument in favor of veterans i'm
mediately renewing their wartime
insurance was succinctly put by
National Commander John R. Nc
Quiqq, of The American Legion, here
recently. The Legion leader said:
"Our disabled men are now dy-
ing off at the rate of about 1000 a
year. Of the great army of 4,5OO,-
900 men who carried government
insurance during the World war,
only 10 per cent have retained their
policies"
All policies must, under the law,
be renewed before July 2 this year.

TO A FRIEND

Nought of life remains to me
Except to face my task
Nourish memories still free,
And wear a smiling mask.
Happiness I've found dream,
Soon banished by the dawn;
Courage can alone redeem
Mems fondest hopes from pawn.
Yet each vagrant thought of you
Redeems the empty hours
Alluring with a smile that drew
My heart like fragrant flowers.

Colburn had reached Thompson's nose and drew a flow of red corpuscles This handicapped the Putnam boys breath ing and he was already winded with out the bloody obstruction. cnlhurn was .sa for that matter, and steam was a-king in punches which were little more than love taps The bout ended when Thompson's seconds threw in towel denoting that he was nnahIe to continue.

 In the second Jackson's mouth was bleeding as the result of a short arm jolt as Na'ade stepped in. At the end of the third, when the judges declared a draw. the crowd did not take kindly to the decision clearly favoring Val ade However. the fans were satisfied at the end of the extra round, when Valade was declared the winner.
