American Legion
News

We of The American Legion
stand united for one "Ism" only
that is, Americanism. No other
Ism" has its place in these our
United States. 1t has been said
that members of The American
Legion are a subsidiary law en-
forcement body. That, emphatical
ly, is not true. On the contrary
The American Legion is ever striy
ing to fight Subversive Activities
through Education.
We know that Communism is
trying to undermine our Govern
ment through practically every
phase of American life. What bet
ter method can be used in stamp
ing out alienisms than through
education, education of our Ameri
can youth and our general public
Let us see, for example, what the
American Legion stands for:
For God and Country"
"To Uphold and Defend the Con
stitution of The United States OF
America"
"To Maintain Law and Order"
"To Promote Peace and Good
Will on Earth"
"To Safeguard and Transmit to
Posterity the Principles of Justice
Freedom and Democracy"
ITO Inculcate a Sense of Indivi-
dual Obligation to Community
State and Nation"
From Report No. 2290, United
States House Of Representatives,
let us see what Communism
stands for:
Hatred Of God and all forms of
Religion"
Destruction of Private Pro-
perty and inheritance.
Promotion of Glass Hatred"
Revolutionary Propaganda thr
ough the Communist international
stirring up Communist. Activities in
Foreign Countries in order tc
cause Strikes, Sabotage, Blood
.vTyor
Destruction Of all forms OF
Representative or Democratic
Governments, including Civil Ii
berties, such as Freedom OF
Speech, of the Press, of Assemb
ly, and Trial by Jury"
"The Ultimate and Final OBJ
jective is by means of World
Revolution to establish the Die
tatorship of the so-called Pro
letariat into one World Union OF
Soviet Socialist Republics with
the capitol at Moscow"
The United States of America
certainly has no room for any
thing Communism stands for. We
know our Constitution and for
what it stands. We are not advo'
eating that other countries change
their form of Government to con
form to ours, nor do we deny the
right of any country to maintain
their form of Government. How.
ever, we do deny the right of any
country to advocate a change in
ours.

Senator William E.
Borah Died Jan. 10

The famous Republican Senator
William E. Borah, of Idaho, died
from a cerebral hemorrhage, at
S:45 D. m. last Friday in Wash
ington, d. c. Senator Borah took
his seat as senator on March A,
1907 and this year would have
completed 33 years of service
March 4.
Lifelong devotion to a few char
ished principles and implacable op-
position to others of which he dis
approved characterized the career
of William Edgar Borah of Idaho,
whose more than 80 years in the
United States Senate covered two
of the most crucial periods of
American history.
Borah came to the senate during
the administrator of trust-busting
Theodore Roosevelt, and he be-
came a bitter foe of monopoly.
Frequently he expressed disillu-
sionment when political parties re
peatedlv made monopoly an i'm
portant issue, then failed to go as
far as he wanted to go.
He spoke rapidly, with curt
gestures. His voice had a rasp-
ing metallic edge that could cut
Ike a knife when he was aroused.
Senator Borah was a lawyer by
profession. He was born at Fair
field. H., on June 30, 1865, went
through Southern Illinois Academy
and studied law at the University
of Kansas. He was admitted 10
the bar in 1890, began practice at
LYONS. Kan, moved to Boise, Ida,
in 1891 and won broad plaudits as
an advocate a few years | I
when he was special prosecutor In
the celebrated trial of Haywood,
Pettibone and Meyer. They were
officials of the Western Federation
OF Miners, accused of having caus-
ed the assassination of Frank
Steunenberg, former governor OF
Idaho.
In the national capital, he took
little part in the social life, pre-
ferring to spend his leisure hours
with a book or on solitary, horse
back rides in Rock Creek Park
He was a total abstainer from
alcoholic drinks, tobacco, coffee
and tea.
At 80 he married Miss Mamie
Mcconnell, daughter of former
governor of Idaho. Mrs. Borah was
frequently in the society head
lines, entertaining foreign digni-
taries who never missed seeing
her husband on visits to Wash1ng
ton.
Senator Borah was given a state
funeral Monday and President
Roosevelt, members of the SUI
preme court, cabinet officers,
diplomats n d other notaDles
gathered with the Idaho Repubn-
cans family and colleagues to wit
ness the solemn ritual of the state
funeral at 1870 p. m. Monday. AT
5 D. m. a special train took the
body to Boise, Ida, where burlal
took place and further honors
paid to his memory.

Power Line Building Cost
Is Cut to 5000 Per Mile

Engineers of the Rural Electric
cation administration are construct
ing electric lines into rural areas
at an average cost of about 5000
per mile. These costs prior to the
REA ran from $500 to $4,000 a
mile because private engineers were
using for rural lines the heavy con-
struction used in city and suburban
areas.
The REA engineers dropped the
cross arm from the single-phase
lines and simplified pole assembly
for the two and three-phase lines.
New, stronger conductors allowed
longer spans with fewer poles.
Several Texas projects have been
built recently at cost of about $500
a mile. The construction was light
because sleet and ice do not have
to be reckoned with in Texas. But
even under sleet and wind condi-
tons, the lines have held up well.
Durability of the lighter construc-
ton was demonstrated last year
when a series of destructive lorna
does struck southern Minnesota. At
Anoka, near Minneapolis, although
the substation was destroyed, prac-
tically no line was destroyed. Near
Melrose, west Of Anoka, during the
same week, greater damage was
inflicted on lines of utility than on
REA lines in the same territory.
Service of the cooperative was re-
stored in less than half the time re-
quired by the utility.
Many private utilities are follow
ing the lead Of the REA engineers
in using lighter construction on their
rural lines.

University of Future f'
Will Have No Campus

The model university of the future,
President James D. Hoskins of the
University of Tennessee believes,
will be one in which a large majority
Of the students never appear on the
campus.
Instead they will be going to
school in their own community I'M
der highly developed extension
service plan which will send teach
ers to them.
"After ALL" Hoskins said, ga state
university has but one reason for
existence, and that is to create for
its state. Gone are the days when q
university was merely an institution
for classical learning where knowl-
edge was regarded as its own re-
ward.
"It is not enough to train a per-
son to be intelligent. He must be
intelligent for some useful purpose.
In agricultural states, he said,
the state university should be the
center Of research with its functions
spreading out into the rural districts
through adults classes. He said the
University of Tennessee had made
start in that direction with a con-
stantly expanding extension service.

Stored Rays Of Sun
Used in House Heating

Use of the stored rays Of the sun
for house heating Is the subject Of
an extensive research program I'M
derway at the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology.
Seeking to utilize advantageously
the vast energy emitted by the sun,
and trap the heat for useful pur-
poses of man, Tech has built an ex-
perimental house, designed to cap
ture waste heat and "store" 1t in the
basement.
In the basement of the especially
designed laboratory house is a large
well-insulated water storage tank to
be used for ironing out the fiuctua-
tions in heat collected from source
so variable as the sun. The build
ing's heating system consists Of q
method Of forced air circulation SO
arranged that the flow of air can be
either over the hot tank surface or
through the coils of a refrigeration
system to be installed later. This
refrigeration system, operating on
an absorption principle, will utilize
sunlight as its heat source.
Prof. Hoyt Hotel of M. I. T. states
that, although several types of ener-
gy collectors, or cheat traps" are
to be tried, first attention is to be
given to shallow box-like heat col.
lecting device placed in recess or
the roof of the building. The bot
tom of the box is a thin sheet oil
metal painted black to absorb the
utmost amount of solar energy.
Firmly fixed to the under side Of
the sheet is series of small thin.
walled metal tubes which are, heat.
ed by contact with the sheet and
which in turn heat water circulated
through them.
The box has several covers oil
glass, interpreted with dead air re.
gions, through which nearly all the
sunlight can pass, but back through
which little heat can escape. The
sunlight is coverted to heat when
it strikes the metal sheet. Beneath
the box is layer of mineral wool
to prevent the escape of heat In that
direction.
After the water has been warmed
in the heat collector, it passes to
the storage tank in the basement.
Depending upon the size of the
insulated tank, water can be kept
hot from few weeks to a half q
year by this method.

OLDER WORKERS WARMED
AGAINST QUITTING JOBS
TOO SOON

A worker who has reached age 65
and wishes to file claim for monthly
payments old-age insurance should
discuss the matter with q repre-
sentative of the Social Security,
Board before he gives up his job.
This statement was issued today BY
Luther Becker, Manager of the Bal
timore field Office of the Social Secur-
ity Board, who said further, that q
man sometimes thinks that he Is ELI
gible for old-age insurance payments,
when, as a matter of fact, his wage
records shows that he lacks little
bit of having enough coverage to en-
title him to monthly benefits.
Mr.. Becker emphasized the fact
that a>65-year old worker who does
not have enough wage credits to
qualify for monthly payments may
continue working in covered employ
ment and build up sufficient credits.
1T must be remembered that wages
earned during 1887 and 1888 count
toward old-age insurance benefits,
only If they were earned before the
workers 65th birthday",s he said,
but now since the law has been
changed, wages received after 1888
count toward benefits, regardless Of
the workers age"
He explained that before an en-
ployee is entitled to monthly bene-
hts he must have worked In covered
employment after 1886 for some
time in six different calendar quar-
tiers at wages amounting to $50 or
more during each of such quarters.
"a calendar means a three-month's
period beginning January l, April /.
July /, or October ID
Some of these older workers who
held Jobs in covered employment
during 1889 and during the early
weeks of 1910, now have five cal
endar quarters of coverage; but be-
fore they can qualify for monthly
payments, they must get one more
quarter of coverage", he said. THAT
is entirely possible for those who
can work long enough during the
second calendar quarter Of 1910 to
earn $50"
Mr. Becker gave this illustrations.
A mill worker who is now So years
old was employed a good part OF
the time in each of the four quar-
ters OF 1889 and continued to hold
his job during January 1910, with
| wages of $25 week. He therefore
has five quarters of coverage to his
credit. Even If he had to remain idle
the rest of this quarter, he might
then go back to his job after April
1, and work there long enough to
receive wages of $50. Then his wage
record would show that he actual
ly had the six quarters of coverage
required by law in order to qualify
for old-age insurance payments. MI.
Becker stressed the fact that he will
be glad to talk with any one who
has reason to believe that he Is en-
titled to payment. His Office Is at
SOC Park Avenue, Baltimore.

Wild and Tame Doe

A doe deer raised by the A. H.
Kellogg family on their ranch near
Yakima, WASH, is so tame it enters
the Kellogg house. The deer, named
Babe, was found three years ago by
Kellogg's children when it was a
fawn. It apparently had been aban-
doned by its mother and was near
starvation. The children took it
home and nursed it with COW milk
until it became, strong again. When
it became older the Kelloggs turned
it loose in the hills. But although it
ranges miles into the timber, the
deer usually appears at the ranch
house in the evening at milking
time, seeking some fresh milk.

DEVICE DETECTS
IODINE IN FEEDS
Colorado Scientist Develops
Important Testing Torch
BY DIR. FRANK GAssNER

Use Of special torch, recently
developed at the Colorado State col
lege experiment station to determine
iodine content of feedstuffs, may
prove tremendously important to
dairymen, live stock and poultry
growers of the nation.
While the experiments were con-
fined to feed grown in Colorado, the
general results will be important to
these industries all over the nation
where the feed grown is low in 10
dine content. Colorado feeds are
very low in this element-so low
that the state should be included in
the so-called "goiter belt" of the
Midwest.
Investigations carried on at the
experiment station have shown that
poultry and rats in some cases will
develop goiter when they are fed
ordinary rations. Work by the poul-
try and pathology sections of the sta
ton was the first in which it was
shown possible to produce goiter in
poultry experimentally. Similar in
vestigations are being carried or
with lambs and cattle, and there is
evidence that goiter may be pro-
duced in these also. Thus it is prob.
able that feed formulas must in
clude ingredients rich in iodine to
prevent goiter.
The torch was developed in the
pathology section Of the experiment
station. 1t is made Of specially re-
sistant stainless steel of chrome and
nickel alloy and will reveal iodine
in as small proportion as IL
parts per billion.
This is a considerable improve
ment over the brass torch previous
ly used for this type of work. The
disadvantage of the brass torch was
that it had to be lacquered Otter
to prevent contamination of the sam.
pie by excessive corrosion.
The only torch known by the de-
partment to be as satisfactory as
this stainless steel instrument is one
at the University of Minnesota which
is made of platinum. This torch
cost approximately $4,000 as com
pared to a cost of less than $25 fcl
the steel torch.
The torch is useful in ascertaining
not only the iodine content of feed
stuffs, but of biological material as
well. Anything that can be made te
burn can be tested with this torch.

Horses in Wartime

During the first three years of the
Boer war, 1900-1902, inclusive, prices
for horses in the United States adj
vanced to $93.76 per head. During
the three-year period 1896-l898 the
average price had been $74.56. Dur
ing the five years 1909-1913 prior
to the World war the average price
of horses in the United States had
been $148.02. During the five years
1915-1919, inclusive, the average
price in this country advanced to
$191.72.
