BUT, BENITO, THESE
SPANIARDS ALSO HAVE
TANKS AND PLANES"

Moscow.-T recent defeat of
several Italian Army divisions in
Spain was the occasion this week for
many digs in the Soviet press at
Fascist Italy's war of aggression
against unarmed Ethiopia.
Izvestia, Soviet government organ,
published a cartoon showing bat
tered Italian general reporting to
Premier Benito Mussolini with the
words: Please, / don't like it at all.
What sort of war is this. when the
enelny also has tanks and airplanes ?"
The leading Moscow papers assert
ed that the presence on Spanish soil
of foreign ARMY of more than 100,-
600 Italian fascists and German Nails
was clear proof of the failure of So
called "non-intervention,' and that
quick action by the democratic coun-
tries was necessary if the war is to
be prevented from spreading to the
rest of Europe and beyond Europe"

Langssoa Hughes Gives

If he is getting ready to marry, told
newspaper men mot yet Said the
handsome young author:
Il am too much of nomad to
consider marriage seriously. I have
never been able to remain in one
place long enough for any young
woman to convince herself whether
she loves me or not"
Commenting further, Mr.. Hughes
said: Il am professional poet and
while poetry is so frequently asso-
ciated with romance, there seems to
be little compatibility between poetry
and marriage, especially where one
must depend on it to support wife.
Our economic system is such that
If man likes a girl well enough
to want to keep anybody else from
having her; he is expected to rush
into debt and set up menage to keep
her isolated from the rest of the
world, but l believe that man can
love just as much without going to
all this trouble as he can by so do
ing.
Il believe that love cannot thrive
we'll under the pressure of struggle
for existence, and don't believe any,
body should marry unless he is able
to provide the necessities and educa-
tional advantages for his children
which they rightfully deserve.
Cfiticizes "Love Bug''
people have no right to penalize
unborn children simply because they
think they have been smitten by the
love bug. 1t isn't fair to the chill
dren.
Russia recognizes this great truth
and has taken the responsibility of
providing for the future of the chill
dren out Of the hands of the respec-
tive parents. The welfare of the
children is the obligation of the
State instead of the individuals.
This gives the Russian children
more of an even break in life and
their future is not circumscribed by
the economic status of the parents"

Voice Of the Legion
The American Legion is growing

The American Legion is growing
Dip;
ii has Just Turned it's eighteenth
birthday, and has also just reached
its peak in membership.
Looking back over the work of the
organization during its years of activ-
ity, one is surprised at it's forgotten
accomplishments, and the men who
were responsible for them.
We can recall the first fights, for
compensation, the early battles for
soldier rehabilitation, proper medical
attention and some assurance of
freedom from want for the families
of returned disabled veterans:
In those days, things came about
sd slowly; we thought we were
scarcely getting any place, but it is a
far cry from the protest of 1919,
about totally disabled soldiers get
ting anywhere from twenty-five to
forty dollars month, to the present
stipend. The housing of our
wounded and sick was another prob
lem that came under the unccasing
activity of the young organization.
Hospitals were inadequate, many were
in private hospitals, and were treated
mere like wards of charity, than
men whose way was paid. Now
there are beautiful and adequate
hospitals, efficiently manned in near
ly every state In the Union, and the
problem Of admittance is SO simple,
that any ex-seldier can enter after
proving that he had a military rec
ord and has not been discharged
from some like hospital for miscon-
duct:
There was the problem of jobs,
frlafiy a man who shouted, nothing
is too good for the boys" when the
"boys" were marching away, GER
taindy made good his; word when
they came back, and helped them
get nothing:
Incidentally, there is new drive
in the offing for jobs for unemployed
ex=esrvice men. 1t will no doubt be
more difficult now, for most of the
men are handicapped by age in this
high powered industrial era, but we
are willing to bet the Legion will be
equal to it.
Our own group has done quite bit
of work within the group, aside from
the customary utilization.
Many jobs have been given us in
hospitals, and various branches of
: government service for which the Le-
gion is solely responsible We cite
the case of Mark Hamilton, former
resident of st. Paul, who when pres
sure of southern politicians was
brought to bear to discharge colored
doctors and nurses from all colored
hospitals. in Alabama, cornered the

ONCE UPON OCT. 9

Women went to work on an equity
with male employees of the United
States Government for the first time,
IS years ago today.
Secretary of the Treasury Salmon
Portland Chase (whose picture is up
on your $4,000 bills) reluctantly gave
permission to F. E. Spinner, Treasur-
er of the U. S.. to try a woman as
cutter and trimmer of currency. The
work was then done by hand by men
who spoiled a lot of currency with
their clumsiness, with shears, and
Spinner had an idea that deft women
could do the work better.
Jennie Douglas got the test ap-
pointment. On Jennie's first day, wo-
men took a long stride toward eman-
cipation, for her work caused other
women to be hired.
