mandate of the national convention at Philadelphia to swing into action on the problem of making the United States a better place in which to live. Reports being received by Dan Sow CTS, director of the activity, show that the order is being carried out with enthusiasm everywhere.
 The convention mandate left to the individual post the selection of the service to perform. Each post was called on to determine the undertak- ing which would most advance the well-being of the community in which the post is located and to dedicate it. self to the accomplishment of that un. dertaking. The work being done Val ries according to the requirements of the different communities. Records of the work achieved are kept and reports are made 10 state and national Legion headquarters so that the entire organization and the public may have the benefit of each posts experience.
 The Legion believes that by uniting in unselhSh effort and neighborly help fitness, its 100000 members can bring about an appreciable betterment of conditions in many localities These local improvements taken in total be come of national importance, and the Legion feels that it is rendering q service to the country just as real as the wartime service of it's members.
 When the Legionnaires start to and a pilgrimage to the battlehelds and cemeteries of the World war, il Is the hope of the Legion, Us expressed by its last convention, to have per formed work which will have exempli. fled the Legion ideal of service in ey- cry city and town in America.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR PRIzE WINNING LETTER

When the National Advertising Committee Of the Laundryowner's National Association of the United States and Canada offered prizes amounting to $50.000 for letters on the subject Why the Laundry Should Do Ny Washing they arous- ed widespread Interest that brought in I.o44572 letters for the judges To consider. The following is the letter. written by Mrs A w. Thomas of Milwaukee, Wis, which was adjadged the best and awarded the grand prize of S10.00O. The Ma tional judges were: Merle Thorpe. Washington. D. C.. editor The Ma tion's Business; Mrs Elizabeth S. Mcdonald, woman's economist, Bos- ton University. and Homer J. Buck ley Chicago, president the Inter- national Direct Mail Order Adyertis- ing Association.
 T am a happy wife am a happy mother. l send my washing 10 the laundry.
 "Gone are the hours of stopping over a steaming wash tub. Gone is the aching back and the rough. chapped hands and brittle nails caused by ptungiug the hands into hot and cold water and by hanging the family wash out in the wind. Gone are the evenings of morose si- lenee in our family sitting room be- cause il was wash day and mother is too tired to speak a pleasant word.
 aThe laundry gives me more time for mOtlering. l have two children of pre-sehool age, the most impress sionable time in their lives. who need every spare moment for supervision and organized play that a mother can possibly give. l have more hours for pleasant social activities and commit nity work. l let the laundry be the drudge
 "The laundry washes my clothes scientifically. The water used is chemically softened and rigidly treat ed so that no housewife need fear that even her finest articles will be faded I trust the laundry with my UdbAGo 0d4ul4 Gl0AAt55 l1lOoL BA 0 II A1NlA l have embroidered in delicate colOrs and never once have they come back faded The clothes are whirled dry so that the fabrics will not be in- iured.
 aThe laundry also safeguards health By sterilization, lurking germs are destroyed and the house wife assured of absolute cleanliness.
 Laundry service is cheaper. Counting the labor of the wife at even twenty-five cents an hour, or the wage per hour of the laundress plus the inconvenience and expense incurred by her. plus materials and depreciation of equipment, there can be no doubt of it.
 "The laundry saves time, saves health, saves money, saves clothes. Those reasons should be sufficient to convince the housewife that her laundry is a community blessing"
