ton and the reasons therefore.
l do not blame the men in the
service for being irked at the
sight of fellows obviously of mil
itary age and apparently hale
and hearty walking around in
civVies. but the boys should first
be sure of their ground before
making a case of an individual.
A somewhat embarrassing in

Coast not long ago when some
service fellows vanished

out to be a discharged marine
of this war and a seaman of the
merchant marine on furlough.
I THINK with Myer Pozen. a
L discharged serviceman of Los
Angeles, that the government
should give discharged soldiers
and sailors some insignia that
would disclose to the public the
fact of their service, and make
1t a felony for any one not en-
titled to the insignia to display it.
BY the way, / note that a
number of the famous heckler
