The ability to receive and execute
orders is the first requisite of a good
soldier in war or peace. That is why
Scott W. Lucas of Havana, ILL.,, de-
partment commander of the American
Legion, heads the largest Legion de-
partment in point of membership In
the nation to surpass its 1925 member
ship enrolment.
When National Commander John
r. McQuigg was elected the Legion's
leader at Omaha for the year 1926
26 he commanded his department
leaders to "go back to your depart
ments and enroll the largest mem
bership the Legion has ever known"
Scott Lucas obeyed that command
to the letter. Under his leadership,
although Illinois is among the big
Three" of Legion departments, includ-
ing New York, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, the 1925 membership mark Of
the department was exceeded by May
1, 1925, with approximately $4,000
members enrolled.
A congratulatory telegram for this
achievement was sent to Illinois de-

RED TO YELLOW
CHANGE FOUGHT
Switch of Tail Light Is OPP
posed by Majority of
A. A. A. Clubs.

Since the adjournment of the sec
0nd national conference on street and
highway safety, the American Auto
mobile association has conducted a
canvass Of sentiment among its affili
ated clubs as to the proposal made
at the conference to change the tail
lights of automobiles from red to vel
low. :
1t develops, according to A. A. A.
headquarters, that the motor clubs
already heard from regarding this
proposed innovation are against 1t,
and take the position that such a
change, applying to 100000 motor
vehicles would cause untold con-
fusion on the highways and would
inevitably tend to increase the toll
Of traffic accidents.
Rank and File Oppose.
This was practically the one prop
osition on which the A. A. A. took is
sue with the recommendations made
by the committees OF the Hoover con-
ference and it was at the insistence
of club executives that a decision on
the tail light was postponed. All de-
velopments since the conference in
dictate. it is stated, that the rank and
file of the motoring public stand by
the resolution adopted at the time
by the A. A. AZ as follows:
"That the secretaries of clubs af-
fliated with the American Automo-
bile association In convention as
sembled hereby condemn the pro-
posed change as being detrimental
to public safety and to the best in
terest of 100000 motor vehicle
owners"
Railways Want Il.
Although no mention was made In
the resolution of the forces urging the
change, it was well known that the
railroads and the motor clubs were
on different sides OF the fence on this
important matter. Notice has been
served by the A. A. A, that proper
provision must be made for represent
tation of the motorists before any com
mittee that takes up this question
for further study, as provided by the
safety conference.

Egg Dressing Used in
Place of Oil IN Salads

Hot slaw with egg dressing is par
tieularly acceptable to those who do
not like the flavor of oil In salads
The ingredients you will need are /:
2 eggs, 4 tablespoonfuls water or cab
bage stock, 3 tablespoonfuls vinegar,
or to taste; 2 tablespoonfuls shredded
green pepper or 1 teaspoonful onion
juice, or "a teaspoonful celery seed,
/ teaspOonful salt, a few specks Of
dry mustard, II a medium head Of
cabbage about quart; q tablespoon
full sugar.
Shred the raw cabbage finely. Beat
the eggs well, add the salt, sugar,
mustard, and water or stock; cook In
the double boiler until 1t coats the
edge of the spoon, thickening like a
soft custard Then add the vinegar,
and pour it over the cabbage while 1t
is still very hot. Let 1t stand few
moments to blend the flavor of the
dressing with that of the cabbage.
This may be served cold as well as
hot. The United States Department
of Agriculture states that the egg
yolks used in this dressing contribute
iron, fat, and other valuable constitu-
ents to the diet, and that the raw
cabbage itself is one of the best foods
we have as a source of vitamines, so
let the family enjoy this good siaw
frequently.

To Wash Berries

Not every one knows how to wash
Strawberries. Hull a few berries at
a time, drop them in howl of clean,
cold water, and take them out i'm
mediately. Put them to drain dry in a
colander. The sand sinks to the bot
tom of the bowl and the juice does
not have change to run. Continue
hulling and washing a few berries at
time. If you turn whole quart of
berries into bowl at once, some will
be watery and tasteless before all are
taken out. If you put them in a col
ander and run water on them the
sand from those above gets on those
beneath.

soap directly on the sweater Have
an abundance of suds, and use more
water in proportion to the bulk of the
sweater than you would for garment
not made of wool.
Don't Rub Sweater.
Squeeze and work the sweater In
the suds without rubbing it. Press out
the excess water and wash the sweat
er in a second suds Of the same tenn
perature. Hand washing is considered
less likely than machine washing to
shrink a sweater or make it lose its
softness. Squeeze the last suds from

wringer, taking care not to stretch 1t.
Spread it, back down. on a covered

winter, never allow sweater to
freeze. Dry it indoors Shape it ac-
cording to the original measurements,

ally after it is almost dry. A child's
sweater may be dried on form. Keep
a sweater In drawer or on well
shaped hanger, never on hook.

DDlNGS OF ALASKA
 GAME COMMISSION

Juneau.--A bonfire of furS was a novelty recently adopted by employees of the Alaska Game Commission at Juneau. The burned furS consisted of 255 muskrat skins and l mink skin, which had been seized and forfeited in the course of law enforcement work in the Territory. The skins were SC nnprlme as to be worthless and en- tirely unfit to be placed on the market.
 Chairman Gardner. of the Game Commission, and Mir. Walker, exeeu- tive officer of the Commission, eSti- mate that these skins would have been worth about $400 according te the present market prices if they had all been in prime eon,iition. They stated that it is serious economic loss to the community for trappers to take such worthless skins when they would be valuable if the animals were allowed to live a month or two longer.
 These skins were only portion of those which had been obtained in law enforcement work, All skins which are in satisfactory condition to place on the market are being adver- tised to be sold at public auction.
 There were additional skins which had no commercial value as furS, but which were of scientific value. These
