CREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1921 Forward Observation Post ale off Regs Br CALK K. TirRUEHJ. Th third national convention of th American legion ! now history; and, Judging the same from It physical pro portion!, Ill spiritual manifestations and It far reaching accomplishment e surely this Kansas City convontlon will conatitut a brilliant pans In the his tory of Americanism, Patriotism and universal comradeship. North Carolina played a prominent role on thla occas ion and 1 ahall let the worda of our delegate tell the atory of the Kunsas City trip of the Tar Heel delegation. First we will hear from W, B. Koine, poet at New Bern, who wae one of the oiTlclal delegatee from North Carolina. Mr. Route write: "That wae a great trip we had out ts the Kanaae City convention. What a pity It le that every ex-eervlceman In North Carolina could not have been therel The bualneee that wae transacted, the etandarda that were let, the Inaplratlone that were riven, were sufficient to put the fight ing spirit In any defunct Legion Tost In the world. If the ex-servicemen In North Carolina could catch the spirit of that convention the department of this state would enlist 25,000 members before the first day of February. The trip was like a moonlight sail on the Hudson or a plcnio down In 'Alabam.' Everybody carried a smile On their face from Comrade Buck Private 'down' to Gomrede 'Black Jack' Pershing. It was the city of smiles, matrimony and Joy, But the Kansas City convention wae not a place of play for all. Many of the delegate were assigned to com mittees and were required to work day and night. In theee committee meetings, the great program of the legion was moulded. Thla program Is based upon our great country and our disabled comrades, wherein Ilea the cause for the existence of the American Legion." In hitting the most striking feature of the Kansas City trip, Btate Com mander Tom Bird, of Ashevlll., writes at follows: "I think that the most re markable thing Is the oalm, deliber ate way In which these young legion nalrea went about the serious prob lem with which they were confront- : ed. One would Imagine that ex-service men coming together, moot of them under to years of age, would go about thing In a sort of 'don't give a damn fashion'; yet auch was not the case. Kach delegate In the convention seem ed to feel the reeponslblllty that had been delegated to him and went about hie work conscious of the Importance and the highness of his task. This con trolling sense of conservatlem and high responsibility wee--typified Jnjhe " eondtderatlon 6T the Harvey- reaolnttoirr in nrst resolution concerning Ambas sador Harvey was defeated because of it extreme wording, while Immediate ly the convention adopted unanlmouely "DANDERINE" Gmws Thick, Heavy Hair 35-cent Bottle Ends til Dandruff, Stops Hair Coming Out I . f : -& wx$ W - - K f k..du-. s.. -- - --H i, ii .1osei.ei i.iiaaienw Ten minute after using Danderlne you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your ecalp will not Itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks' uee, when yon see new hair, fine and downy at first yes but really new hair growing all over the acaln. Danderlne Is to the hair what treeh howere of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roote. Invigorates and strengthen them, help ing the hair to grow long, atrong and luxuriant. One application of Dander lne makes thin, lifeless, colorless hair look youthfully bright, lustrous, and Just twice as abundant. SO-tf If Stomach is Out of Order Kvery year regularly more - than million stomach sufferers In the United States, England and Canada take Pape e Dlapepeln, and realiro not only Immediate, . but lasting relief. This Harmless antaold helps digest any thing you eat and overcome! a sour. ' gaasy or out-of-order stomach in Ave minutes. If your mt'ala don t fit com lortably, or what you eat lies like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that .1 sign of In dlgeetlon. (let from your druggist Ixty-oent case of Pap' Diapepsln There will be no sour rising; no belch lag of undigested food mixed with aold Bo ga or heartburn, no rul.nens heavy feeling in the stomach, no nausea, heudaohe or Intestinal griping. Prov to yourself In live minute that . your stomach Is a good a any; that there Is nothing really wrong. Stop this food fermentation and begin eat Ing what you want without tear o 4icomfort or Indigestion. hd-a a resolution condemning Ambassador Harvey Pilgrim dinner speech In term equally a firm and ter yet evidencing the dignity of the alms ami purpose of the American legion. And thl same conservative yet mili tant farsightedness prevailed through out the deliberations of the convention. The faat that the national constitu tion of the legion wa not changed and the fight to preserve the funda mental of th legion, by keeping It In every way fron partisan politic, by maintaining 100 per cent Americanism throughout ths jiatlon- and -hytandv ing quarely beside the disabled ex servlos men, show conclusively that the ex-sarvic men will never forsake cither th oountry or cause for which they fought or their comrade who fought with them during the war. In Ti y estimation, till guarantee that th American legion a a patrlotlo or ganization will never die." Among the Tar Heel who Journeyed to Kansas City In th special Pullman cars, there were certain personalities that typify our state and that mado all with whom w cam In contact to exprea a desire to visit North Carolina and, In the word of National Judge Advocate Robert Adam, of In dianapolis, "Uo where people can really have a good time." Ranking first among the Jovial Tar Heel spirits, I will nominate on any occasion Ms ton L Mallard, of Winston, already known by the 111th field artillery, by the Kansas City delegation and by hundreda of other lover of good fel lowship In North Carolina. Sergeant Mallard wa the prlno comedian In our delegation, and he ha been designated as department comedian of the American legion. Th following statement will evldenoe th serious element In thl moat humorou per sonality; "At the outset, 1 will ay that the Kansas City trip wa th moat enjoyable affair that I have ever ex perienced, Thl I espeolally true of the time spent In going to and return ing from th oonvention, I am con fident that If It had been poeslbl for every ex-service man In th United States to e th convention and see the work don there, w Would (tart the new year with a membership of ,000,000 at least. It mao me reanso mora fully what an honor It 1 to be long to th legion, by seeing in what high esteem It I held by th blggeet peopl of th world. I was greatly Impressed with the thoroughness with which th various oommlttee went nto th matter of ex-ervic .men's relief and every other issue with which th legion 1 concerned. Our ex partene wttH'th -timtcal""Teso-!tf- lion show not only that the great nfluenc of the American legion I recognised by the big buslnesa Inter- st but that tni intiueno cannot do corrupted. While th convention proper was very Interesting and helpful, 1 would feel amply repaid for the time spent and expense Incurred, If I had to show for It nothing more than the friendship of the delegate whom I met. Th good-fellowship which grew among us while on thl trl- will live a long a we do, and I will always look back upon It a on of the grout iivent of my life. Mark me down now for th New Orleans trip In 12J." Oeorge T. Bklnner, commander of the Joseph Rountree post at Klnston was mother official delegate to the Kan sas City convention and he speaks as follow: "The most enjoyable part or. the whole -occasion wa the trip there and back. The spirit of comradeship wa splendid and th songs and stories entertained and drew closer to gether the three score Tar Heels who made thl trip, Traveling tnrougn a oountry for two day and night that wa not only Beautiful but new to many of u possessed a great educa tional value. One of th lasting Impressions of the convention itself will b the reo- lleotlon of the great war leader inch a Foch, Pershing, Beatty, Dlat and Jacques. A a msmner ot tne committee on military affairs I was particularly Impressed by a statement mad by an officer of the regular army, who was a member of the committee himself and who said among other thing that If the Camp Benny train ing school for officer wa to get the appropriation neoeasary to carry on It work, the am could only be aeoured from Congress through the support of th American legion. Such a atate- nent from such person evidence the high regard In which th army con siders the Amerloan legion and Its de sire to have th counsel and support ot th legion," On ot th most appreciated and aluable member of the Tar Heel delegation wa Dr. I. T. Mann, com mander of th Andrew Jackaon post at High Point In speaking of hi obaervatton on th Kansas City con vention, Dr. Mann says, "My Impres sion were so many and so varied that It would take a book th sis of Fred rick O'Brien 'Mystic Isle of th South Sea' to hold It all. Th Im mensity of th crowd Impressed me, hcaue It was th largest oonvention assembly In American hlatory; and while the thousand of man wer In a happy, carefree, and occasionally hilarious mood, rowdyism wa con spicuous by It absence; and that faot something for which th legion ihould be proud. Also It was Impres sive to not the fact that Foch, Per shing, Beatty, Dlaa and Jacques, th greatest war leader In th world' his tory, were talking world peas. Again wa Impreaseg with th unusual de mocracy of th entire occasion, as on every hand ex-prlvate from th rear rank were dapping their ex-ofTloers on the back and addressing them by their first names In that, man to man spirit of good-fellowship that prevails nowhere In the world as It does In America. Our trip to and from Kan sa City wa exceedingly pleasant and I know that a mora congenial bunch f good fellow could not have been i hand picked from. North Carolina, .t.tiarjL.i were those men and women that trav eled In our speolal Pullman car. In all th air of fun and frolic there was in undercurrent of seriousness for real work to be accomplished that was most commendable; and on only ha to "end the newspaper reports to see that the legion put across much work that will stand a long a the legion Itself: tnd In all, It wa clear that the dead, the physically disabled, and the finan cially disabled were not being forgot ten. Yet the on thing that Impressed ne moat deeply waa th feeling of un limited power that la vested In Ihe American legion. Indeed, there 1 ab solutely no limit to what the leglnn an do If It so wills; It Is the greatest non-sectarian organisation for good n the world, today: and thank to lod, the legion ha grown thl large with clean hands-and skirts." In selecting th above statements "rom reports given by some ot the Tar :Icel delegates, I have naturally given limited expression to what I consider to be the high point In connection with th Kansa City convention. Yet I do wish to relate the etory of the .ileotlon of national commander, North Carolina bad a candidate in the per io not Dan S. Hollonga ot Hamlet and the prospects tor his election appeared to he good. Th campaign tor na tional commander was divided clearly oh th Issue of ousting a certain ring "lenient that has previously dominated the national affairs of the legion.
