 Some persons feel that nothing quite takes the place of the French coffee, made with hot milk and strong coffee blended. For those who are restricted in the use of fats and oils, this method is excel- lent, since 1t gives the mellow flavor of coffee with cream, without far- tening qualities.

V|G|[ANTE' ACTION
BY D. c. LEGION HIT
Victory Post Condemns Plan
as Contrary to National
Units Policy.

Sharply taking issue with the De-
partment OF the District of Colum-
bia Of the American Legion on the
question Of mobilizing the Legion as
"vigilantes." Victory Post last night
IN regular meeting condemned" the
action of the department The post
formally declared it will refuse to
answer any call to mobilize against
our buddies and fellow citizens in
any labor dispute at any, time, in any
place and in any manner"
In resolution made public by
B. M. Thomas, commander of Vic
tory Post, the organization vigorously
attacked the action of the 1897 de-
partment convention at the Mayflower
Hotel, as contrary" to the national
policy of the Legion.
The convention had adopted a reso-
luton, the post said, authorizing the
organization Of corps Of Legion
Vigilantes in the National Capital and
voted down resolution by Victory
Post to prohibit the Vigilantes from
mobilizing or acting in labor disputes,
on the fimsy ground that the Vic
tory Post resolution was contrary to
the departments action"
As a matter of fact, Victory Post
declared, "the departments action is
contrary to the national policy of the
American Legion, SO clearly expressed
by Comdr. Colmery when he said
on June 16, 1897: 1.-The American
Legion is not strike breaking organ
ization it has never arrogated
to itself police authority the
American Legion is pledged to main
tain law and order and it is neither
lawful nor orderly for private citizens.
IN and out Of the Legion, to usurp
powers that are reserved to the police
and militia"
The action of the department in
setting up the Vigilantes was declared
by Victory Post to be IAN affront to
the police of the District of Columbia.
There has never been an instance"
the resolution continued, when this
excellent body Of law officers was un-
able to cope with disorder within its
jurisdiction" Such action was further
declared by the post to be an "af-
front to good citizenship"
Victory Post commander was au-
thorized to notify not only the Legion
department commander, the COM
mander of the Legion Vigilantes, but
also National Legion headquarters
and police headquarters of the action
taken by the post.
In case Of mobilization of the
Vigilantes, Victory Post resolved to
publicly condemn and resist such
mobilization, any such illegal use of
the Legion uniform, cap and insignia,
and any desecration of the American
flag, by carrying it into any labor
dispute"

Bed on Wheels Evokes Joy.

nary bed table on wheels-had made
the young nurses almost deliriously
happy. Like little girls with new
toy they turned the levers which raise

Away rushed the nurses to the op-
Grating room to ooh and "ah" and
fill the empty corridors with lifting
laughter as they examined modern
sterilizing equipment and cabinets
and a rack on which rubber gloves
can be dried.
They relaxed in soft air-cushioned
chairs In the nurses lounge-an un-

'A.B.C. BOARD URGES
YEARS WAIT PLAN
Permit Reconsideration Bar
Is Before City Heads for
Future Action.

Amendment Of the District liquor
regulations to require that a year
must elapse before an application for
> permit may be reconsidered in
cases in which the permit is denied
after a first hearing has been pro-
posed to the Commissioners by the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
The recommendation was referred
to Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
fol study to determine If the rule is
possible under the meaning of the
liquor act.
One OF the purposes, it is said, Is
to safeguard the interests of property
owners. church, school and civic lead
ers who may muster objections suf-
f1cient to defeat the issuance of a
permit at an original hearing.
In the past, in some cases of this
kind, the applicant has come back
within several months to renew his
petition for a permit for the same
location. The board recommends
that when permit Is refused the
application should have to wait a
year before the same application
could be heard.
A similar rule is used by the Dis
trict Zoning Commission in regard to
applications for changes in property
classification. That rule was in
voked in part to reduce the number
of "old" cases which came back to
the commission for consideration at
successive hearings. Property own
ers in the earlier days OF coming
protested that they had to keep COM
ing back to the commission to fight
over and over again cases which they
once had won.

SLIGHT HOPE SEEN
FOR FREE LUNCHES
District Officials, However,
Still Seek Way to Aid
5000 Pupils.

District officials are still clingine
to a slim hope today that more than
5000 District children in 81 public
and parochial schools will not have
to go without their free hot lunches
this year.
Although no definite decision has
yet been made at Federal Works
Progress Administration headquarters,
District w. p A. officials were in
clined to think the chances of the
project going through are slight un-
less financial help from private
sources can be arranged.
The service has hitherto been car
ried on jointly between the Federal
w. P. A., whose funds were available
for labor costs In order to provide
employment, and the District Com
missioners, as sponsors for the nom
labor costs. No funds were appro-
priated in the District bill for the
coming year to cover the Districts
end, and Federal headquarters, due
to curtailed funds, made it clear that
the sponsors of such programs would
have to bear even more of the cost
than before.
Maintenance of the food service for
the coming year would cost approxi-
mately $267,00o, according to Otto
Cass, deputy W. P. A. administrator
under Commissioner Allen, of which
about $4,000 would be the non labor
cost. The local sponsors would be
liable for at least the latter sum If
the project is carried through.
We have appealed to the Commu-
nifty Chest, the Board of Public We'll
fare, parent-teacher groups and many
other private organizations to see II
any funds are available" declared Mrs.
Mary Steele, director OF the Division
OF Women's and Professionals Projects
OF the w. P. A. Last year more than
5000 children, certified as needy by
the principals Of the schools. were
given lunches, and in most cases il
was the only substantial meal OF the
day for them"
During the year, Mrs Steele pointed

were served at a cost of II cents
each, Of which cents represents
the cost of the food. The food is
prepared at central kitchen and
taken TO the schools in trucks. Meals
usually consist of a soup or stew,
half pint of milk, two sandwiches
and a fruit.
Mrs. Steele said the Service af
fected more colored children than
white, and explained that meals were
srved only to those parochial school
students not required to pay for their
books and other expenses.
ut is a very worth while service and
we are doing our utmost to get ade-
Quate funds for continuation, she
said, land I do feel very strongly
that this is community RESPONSE
bility."
The public schools open next Mon
