cor NEW MEMBERS

''The biggest check in the world"
was signed recently by Mayor
Charles I'll. Greene of Aurora, ILL.,, in
paying his dues to Observation-Disclosures
post Of the American Legion for 1926
Equipped with 4-foot pencil,
Mayor Greene affixed his signature to
a giant check measuring "a feet Eop@
and 10 feet high. The check way
signed in front of the city hall of
Aurora before large crowd, after
which 1t was rolled up placed on
military caisSon and conveyed to the
bank where it was cashed pa
rade, including the high-school band,
soldiers, Legionnaires, and city Off
Gals, followed the check on its tri-
umphal ride to the bank.
The event marked the opening Of a
phenomenally successful and unique
membership campaign in which novel
stunts and methods were the rule.
To locate prospects for the Legion
the newspapers printed as complete

be gathered and headed the list with

known service men in the effort to
locate the 'unknowns"
The churches of the city co-operated
with the Legion In locating unknown
soldiers" More than 1000 undiscov-
cred former service men were re-
vealed to the membership committee
through the agency Of the churches.
Preceding these steps, a telephone
campaign was conducted In which IS
girls called every residence in the city
in an effective effort to locate veter-
ans.
Prospects who were not signed the
first day were sent kilograms which
were delivered by 30 boy scouts.
Thus impressed by the urgency of the
matter, and weakened by the rush

An "Off-to-Paris Night was a
unique and much applauded feature
of the campaign. A large street car

A mutt dog parade through the
main streets for the kids Of the town

stunt that put the words American

stunts In connection with their init

The War Department is closely
watching all suggestions for coats-of-
arms for National Guard organiza
items where they involve using such
coats-of-arms of older organizations.
AS the result of the submission OF de-
signs for regimenral coats-of-a rms for
the approval Of the War Department,
there has been laid before the Secre
tary OF War the question of rightful
historical succession Of certain Ma
tional Guard units to regiments which
have attained some prominence in the
past. The attention of the department
was called to this matter as a result
of a request from the State of Ohio,
which Issued an order designating the
l34th Field Artillery as successor to
the lst Regiment of Ohio Volunteer
Light Artillery of the Civil War pc
riod. That State requested the War
Department To embody the old coat
of.arms of that regiment in the regi-
mental colors supplied by the Federal
Government to the 134th Field Artil-
lery.
Though the right Of any State to
issue an order relative to National
Guard regimental succession is recog-
niZed. the opinion is held in the War
Department that the order in itself
does not entitle a unit to inherit the
history of a previous unit having that
number. AS Il general rule, the or
ganiZation itself will be traced through

all It's changes, regardless of numeri-
cal designation.
Although the department is desir-
Gus of carrying out the wishes of the
several States in matters of this kind,
the department has in this case re-
quested the State of Ohio to establish
sufficient connection between the Civil
War unit and one of the same num-
ber established in 1886, to which the
134th Field Artillery is Il successor.
In the event that rightful succession
between the Civil War regiment and
the one established in 1886 can be
proved by the State of Ohio, the War
Department will accept the design for
the coat-of-arms which embodies ap-
propriate Civil War enblems.
