Cardinal O'Connell of Bos-
ton calls radio crooners "bleat-
ers." He says eff you will
listen closely when you are un-
fortunate enough to get one
of these, you will discern the
basest appeal to sex emotions
in the young. They are not
true love songs, they profane
the name. They are ribald
and revolving. If you will
have music, have good music,
not this immoral and imbecile
slush." The Cardinal is not
alone in this opinion.

When Father Time writes finis to
1881, State Treasurer Julius A. Schmahl
will have completed twenty-one years
in the service of the state And an al
most continuous service at that broken
only by brief period when he retired
in 1921 to enter the banking business.
Four years later he was again back
in harness and if the fates are kind In
1885 should see him rounding out a
quarter of century as one of Mime
sofas chief constitutional officers. Mr.
Schmahl has been successfully chief
clerk of the lower branch of the state
legislature, secretary of state and state
treasurer and there is no telling where
he will finish-friends hope and pre-
dict either as governor or United States
treasurer. julius first bid for the big
time was at the Duluth convention in
1906 when he was endorsed for the
Republican nomination for secretary of
state. For fourteen years the Redwood
county boy held down the secretaryship
to retire in 1920 for the purpose of en-
tering the Republican gubernatorial lists
of that period. It was hectic time
in state Republican circles and Mr..
Schmahl, interested in his partys sue
cess rather than his own ambitions,
withdrew. To this day his admirers
insist that his withdrawal was mis-
take. He is now serving his second
term as state treasurer and if he SO
elects Mr.. Schmahl can have a third
term.

Bancroft and Miss Gibson are
cast as a couple of self-styled "big

with each other and with any one
else who crosses their path.
The uneven tenor of their lives
becomes even more uneven when
Bancroft's best friend suddenly
dies, leaving 12-year-old son alone

Legion Posts Get Battle Orders to
Sign CD Members


The American Legion, organized
as National Commander Louis A.
Johnson has declared, with the
sound of battle ringing in our ears"
is a fighting group that functions
best when confronted with difficult
tasks worthy of its metal, in the
opinion Of Legion leaders. Relief
and welfare work, in which the
1882 posts were recently pledged
to assist in each of their communi-
ties; the care of the disabled and
the orphans, the promotion of ed
ucation and other major and con-
tinuous activities present such a
challenge, especially this year, to
every Legionaire.
The first requirement, the nation
al commander says, is the enroll
ment of veterans and their sup
port of this program of service.
Every post commander in the
American Legion department of
Minnesota has recently received a
letter from the national command
er, who points out that while the
enrolment of members is not
program within itself, it must be
recognized that a large member
ship is accompanied with success
full Legion endeavor.
In part, the letter reads:
Let me urge than an early en-
rollment of members will do more
than anything else to insure a sue
II
enrolment is out of the way, the
officers of the post will have more
time to plan constructive commun-
ity service programs and to carry
on the work to which our Legion is
committed.
IT am setting as national OBJ
jective for 1888 enrolment of a
million members. We must not
fail to reach this objective. I am,
therefore, calling upon you to mo-
bilize the shock troops in your
command, and, as battle orders, ask
you to enroll every veteran in your
area"
The results of this first effort
throughout the country, aimed pri-
marily at renewing the 1882 mem
bership for 1888 in one united and
simultaneous movement, will be
reported at national headquarters
in Indianapolis at noon, Nov. IT,
when all department commanders
and adjutants will be in annual
conference there. Each will receive
Geographic membership reports
from their various department
headquarters on that date, and read
them on roll call.

Game Chiefs Urge Gunners to
Aid Ducks

Although there has been a mark
ed Improvement in waterfowl con-
ditions OH the breeding grounds,
Hoyes Lloyd, supervisor of wild
life protection, National Parks OF
Canada, Department of Interior,
Ottawa, points out that favorable
moisture conditions for one year
cannot bring the ducks back to nor
NAL abundance, according to oul-
letin of the American Game Asso-
citation. Because the hunting sea-
son has been heightened from thlr-
ty to sixty days, there is tendency
among hunters to believe that there
are more ducks in circulation than
is actually the case. This is where
the danger lies, game officials point
out.
AFTER previous dry cycles" Mr.
Lloyd said, "the ducks which have
survived unfavorable conditions
were not faced with the intensive
shooting which now prevails, and
were not so restricted in habitat by
the encroachment of agriculture
drainage and other changes"
To counteract this evil, the
American Game Association and
other conservation organizations
urge shooters to realize the inn
portance of the new game regula-
lions, and observe them. 1t will be
necessary for hunters to adhere
strictly to bag limits and the closed
season on ruddy and bufflehead
ducks in order to help meet the
emergency to the advantage OF the
ducks.
AS a help to hunters, the Rudy
Duck may be identified by the fol
lowing description: bill is broad
short and fiat; body is stout with
thick, short neck; tail feathers are
narrow and pointed. The female is
similar to the male duck, but its
cap is narrowly barred with red
dish brown; the breast is indistinct'
ly barred with black and brown
the rest of the underpart being
white. The Bufflehead may be
identified by it's short and pointed
bill, it's peculiarly round puffy heao
and the small, plump body.

smart. Note how the sleeves are
capped to achieve the proper broad
shOuldered silhouette. With the
ensemble idea in mind the designer
lines this coat with the identical
brown wool fabric which fashions
the frock.
An item of outstanding interest in
connection with the young-looking
campus frock to the right, made of
coco brown rabbits hair wool with
white angora for the blouse or
guimpe, is its high neckline and the
fact that the sleeves are full and
in contrast.
1t is taken for granted that every
college girl will include a velvet aft
ernOOn gown in her wardrobe. The
model pictured is of that voguish
mat velvet, brown in this instance,
the dull finish of which carries an
air of refinement. Brown mink fur
forms the ornamental bow at the
neckline. An unusual buckle of
brown composition and rhinestones
fastens the belt.
AS climax to this recital of
college-daughter fashions we call
your attention to the stunning foot
wear which adds so decided a note
of chic. The fact that in each in
stance the handsome shoes worn
are Of patent leather carries it's
own message of what's what in
smart footwear for fall. Patent
leather and suede oxfords in blend
ed browns coordinate with the coat.
With her guimpe frock Miss College
girl is wearing brown patent leather
shoes with fancy openwork design.
A sandal-like lacing enhances the
brown patent leather shoes which
tune so beautifully to the charm
ing velvet gown.

Important Legion Meetings Will
Re Held Nov, 14-18

Important meetings, at which
the highest American Legion Of

ers in Indianapolis, Ind, the week
beginning Nov IA. Matters and
problems of unusual national inter-
est will be considered, including
ways and mean of carrying out ma

these subjects will be the program
for the immediate payment of ad-
justed compensation.
The national executive COM
mittee, which is the governing
body of the Legion between nation
al conventions, will hold its annual
November meeting Nov. IA and Is.
This will be followed Immediately
by the annual conference of de-
partment commanders and adult
ants, many of whom will be pre-
sent at the national executive COM
mittee sessions.
Appointments, including that OF
national adjutant, will be present.
ed to the national executive COM
mittee for confirmation. The ma
tional commander, Louis A. john
son, has announced his choice as
national adjutant to be Frank E.
Samuel, now assistant national ad-
jutant. Other appointments OF ma
tional officers to be confirmed will
be national treasurer, national
Judge advocate and national histor-
ian. In addition there will be many
important committee chairman
ships named, such as legislative
rehabilitation, child welfare and
national defense.
Among the important things the
national executive committee Will
do is the listing of a major legisla-
tive program.National legislation Is
determined by national convention
action, and from the DEGREES and
resolutions, but the executive COM
mittee defines the half dozen or
less subjects to receive first and
paramount attention.
At the annual conference of de-
partment commanders and adJu-
tants, Nov. 16, II and 18, every
phase of the Legion program for
1928 will be discussed by these Of
ficers who are in command in the
field and who will put the man
dates and DEGREES into operation in
tae 1O,572 posts. This year, also de-
partment publication editors and
publicity officers will attend the
conference, which custom has
made an annual chool of Legion
ism. Many of the department adju-
tants hold over from year to year,
while the department commanders
are new each year. From their ex-

Game Unit Tells "HOw to Build a
Dam as Farm Aid

Because farmers, sportsmen and
others are showing huge interest In
the dam building campaign thru
out the United States for the I'M
rounding of water for the benefit
of agriculture, fish, waterfowl ana
recreation, the American Game AS
ISOLATION issued a bulletin here to-
day. giving aids in building small
earth dams. The data is taken
from the Game and Fish Depart
ment of North Dakota. Many
dams have been built in that state
and proven successful. Brevetized,
the aids follow:
Locate dam where watershed Is
consistent with size of pond deslr-
ed: provide sufficient drainage area
to keep pond full and fresh. POND
should overflow at least once or
twice each season.
. AS a guide, remember that three
inches of run-off from a section
will fill an eight-acre pond five
feet deep four times. Provide SUI
ficient dept to allow for evapora-
ton. U. S. Weather Bureau gives
40 degrees as the annual average
evaporation.
Make ample provision for the ov-
erflow of excess water. Locate spill
way through old ground at the
side of dam. If suitable use ma
terial from spillway channel in the
DAM. Make spillway channel wlde
as possible. Locate spillway SO ov-
erfiow will not damage dam. Make
dam wide enough at bottom to IN
sure proper slopes. The upstream
slope should not be sleeper than
three feet horizontal to one verti-
cal. Provide protection on up
stream slope against wave action.
Where rock is available cover up
stream slope with it. WILLOWS
should be planted on upstream
slope. Provide ample freeboard.
Less than four feet is not recon-
mended.
Remove all sod, brush or rock
boulders from ground on which NIL
is to be placed. Remove any creek
gravel from bed of stream which
might cause seepage. Do not use
material containing dry or frozen
Jumps or sodded chunks in making
fill. Heavy clay or gumbo with
a small percentage of gravel Wen
mixed makes excellent fill material.
Originally, the dam campaign
was launched by the United States
Bureau of Biological Survey as an
aid to waterfowl, both on the north
ern nesting grounds and the SOUTH
ern wintering areas. Soon several
dams showed that the impounded
water was raising the underground
water table, one of the most vaiu-
able aids to agriculture. This en-
listed the interest Of the farmer and
