THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES :

nounced today that plans to as
semble 10000 veterans in Paris for
the 1927 Legion national convention
would proceed.
II do not hesitate to say that
to abandon this plan on account of
reports of alleged anti-American
sentiment in France would be most
unjust to France and to the Le-
gion," Ambassador Herrick wrote.
81 had heard little or nothing of
the agitations over here until my
arrival home and was surprised at
the extent this impression had been
encouraged and carried throughout
the country on so little foundation
so much so that I could not help be-
lieve that those unfriendly to our
two countries were mischievously
promoting this scandal.

Census Reveals Astonishing Fact

According to the 1920 Census, there
are S.549,511 women and girls employed
in all trades in the United States.
Nearly nine million women would make
a vast army.
Napoleon said, IAN army travels on
its stomach" This woman's army
travels on It's general health. Probably
there is scarcely a woman in it who
has not forced herself to work when
she was not able. In all sorts of
weather and under trying conditions,
like good soldiers, they stick to their
posts
Many women have learned that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
helps to keep them fit to work.
