MOLLY BURNHAM, graduating

in love with young JACK WELLS,
q Harvard man, handsome, and poor

ment day the dean sends for her, ia
discuss her future. Molly has q
decided talent for writing. But she
wants to marry Jack, and that will
be Q whole lot sweeter than trying
to be . novelist or . poet.
Waiting In the deans office, she
idly picks up the morning paper,
and there on the editorial page,
she sees . bit Of verse about q girl
whose ambition was thwarted By
marriage.
Molly tears the verse from the
paper. and sticks It In her vanity.
Then. confusedly, she discusses her
future with the dean. First the
dean offers her . splendid position
In the literary world. Molly says
that she means to be married short
~. but she supposes she could also
try her hand at writing.
The dean smiles. "Oh, no." she
says. "You cannot mix love and
q career"
Then the dean rather abruptly
dismisses her.
Jack arrives to take her to the
presidents tea. That evening they
paddle about on College Lake, and
Jack makes love maddeningly.

sale is to be retained by the local or
ganization conducting the sale, IS pei
cent to be sent to the department
poppy chairman of the American Le-
gion Auxiliary. Out Of this amount
will be deducted all expenses Of the
sale, which includes the cost of the
flowers, the balance to be divided be-
tween the state departments OF the
American Legion and the American
Legion Auxiliary. This arrangement
has worked out very satisfactorily.
Just before the convention opened the
American Legion Auxiliary forwarded
a check in the amount Of s2790.91 to
our department finance officer.
Finances
I'VE have money in the bank to
the extent of $6981 80. Our net worth
has increased $l476.6l over last year.
I believe that this department has
acquitted itself admirably in the last
eight years. In 1921 we had a def
icit of $4,000. This year we have a
net worth Of $9419.3 "a. In other words.
we are $12.4l9.34 richer in money and
property than we were eight years
ago.. Every economy has been prac-
ticcd at your department headquarters
commensurate with good service to
the posts. to the department officers
and to the membership in general
in this state.
Recommendations
Il recommend to this department
convention that a sum Of at least $500
be set aside each year for the purpose
Of building up a reserve for the flu
ture.
Il recommend to this department
convention that a sufficient appro-
priation be made to more suitably
carry on the work of junior baseball.
Il would recommend to this con-
vention that the post officers confer
encc be continued each year, as they
prove very helpful to the department
in its membership work."

aid to the disabled veterans of the
World war and the nature Of this is
described by the report Of Jack Will
liams, the department adjutant. made
to the state convention at Minot. In
part the report says:
North Dakota has had no pllenom-
email increase or decrease In member
ship, but each year we have gained
upon the year that has passed. 1929
bids fair to be an important year
where membership is concerned. At
the close of the last year We had
8.007 members in this department.
We have enrolled. SO far this year,
$3.50 with five months left to gain
even nor We have today the high
est membership we have had in the
last seven years.
The Mack v. Traynor member
ship trophy will be awarded to the
Paul Farup post No. lat, Park River,

in signing UP two hundred fifty per
cent Of their last years membership.

North Dakota finished in eleventh
place in the national membership
derby In which Sc departments par

ia more memberships to reach the
quota assigned to us by national
headquarters for this year, which Is
$500.

THE first pledge of our %organiza-

lessen the suffering of those who still

"Ten years ago we had no veterans
bureau In North Dakota or anywhere
in the nation. there were no laws de-
signed especially to help the disabled
man. there vas no provision at all for
the disabled man. Today, ten years
later, we are able to care for our own
mel entirely within the boundaries Of
our own state. His compensation
claim is held at the office of the Vet
Grams bureau at Fargo, he Is called
there for the rating Of his claim, for
his examinations and for his hospi-
taliSation. He ees and talks with the
men who handle his claim. That is
called decentralization and the Amer
lean Legion has been successful in Sc
curing the decentralization OF all
claims Of the disabled men. Being
responsible for the creation Of the
Veterans bureau. the American Le-
gion works hand in hand with this
agency designed to care for the dis
abled, both nationally and in the
state. In Washington we have the
central office Of the Veterans bu-
reau. The American Legion has estab-
lished at this same point. its national
rehabilitation committee and its ma
tional legislative committee. Through
the rehabilitation committee the Lee
gion maintains a constant vigil on all
masters affecting the welfare Of the
disabled man. Through the national
legislative committee a campaign is
conducted to bring about the legisla-
ton necessary to his welfare.
That is the structure nationally. In

PLAN CONFERENCE
TO DISCUSS SIGNS
Drastic Changes in Size and
Wording of Advertising
Suggested.

Preparations were made today for a
conference tomorrow between municipal
ofdcialS and business men on proposals
for the adoption of new sign regula-
tons. Suggested drastic changes in the
size and wording of all commercial ad-
vertising signs will be discussed.
The conference will be attended by
Col. John w. Oehmann, District build
ing inspector; Maj. Henry G. Pratt, SUI
perintendent Of police, and q committee
representing the Association Of Outdoor
Advertisers headed by John Z. Shoe
maker, chairman.
The proposed regulations would limit
all commercial advertising signs to 100
square feet in size. Outdoor signs would
be required to bear only the merchant
name and q general declaration of his
business.
Under these provisions many signs
provided by manufacturers would have
contain the name of the manufacturer
and his products. However such ad-
vertisementS would be permitted If the
retail dealer sold nothing except the
products of one manufacturer.
Restrictions on signs displayed inside
buildings would be less severe. Any
words desired could be used so long
as 80 per cent of the window space
was not covered by signs.
District officials drafted the regula-
tons in an effort to make Washington
more beautiful city.
