XMe AMERICAN ?LEGION# (Copy tor This Department Supplied by the American Legion News Service.) > LEGION MEN HELP HOLD FRIENDSHIP In the work of the American Legion a very important part is played by its members and posts and departments located in the possessions of the United States and in foreign lands. These men and organizations act, In their constant contact with people of other nations, as unofficial representa tives of the United States. They do much to promote and to cement the friendliest relations between the moth-, ?r country and the country of their adoption. , Particularly important work has been done in this direction by the de partment of Panama. To the men of this department It has been given to foster the most cordial relations with the peoples of Central 'America. One high Central American official has gone so far as to say that these men, acting unofficially, have done more for ?J William Byrne Boegs. friendly relations and real understand ing between those countries and the United States than have all the offi cial representatives of the government. The commandership of the depart ment of Panama is thus one of the most important links in the chain of Legion officers. That post. Is now held by William Byrne Boggs. Boggs was born January 11, 1892, at Frametown in West Virginia. At the age of nine teen he enlisted in the Coast Artillery corps. Upon the declaration of war with Germany, he was commissioned and assigned tq duty in the adjutant general's department as assistant ad jutant general for the Panama canal department. He was discharged from service June 30, 1919. He was mar ried to Miss Esther Bye of Minneap olis, Minn., on May 1. 1917. at Cris tobal, Canal Zone. They have two chil dren, Daie, aged six years, and Carol, aged five. The new commander has been ac tive In the work of the Legion In Panama since Its organization. He Is a member of Panama Canal post. No. | 1. He was for three years a member of the post executive committee, two years a member of the department ! executive committee and one year an I alternate national executive commit i teeman. He Is at present employed as assistant surveying officer in the executive department of the Panama canal. , Illiteracy in Alaska Proves Serious Problem Illiteracy constitutes a grave problem in Alaska that will require serious con sideration In (he process of Its solution, declared H. L. Faulkner, authority on education, speaking before educators in the United States. Mr. Faulkner spoke under the aus pices of the American Legion, depart ment of Alaska, which Is sponsoring a campaign to reduce illiteracy In the territory. "Illiteracy Is a subject of particular graveness in Alaska at this time," said Mr. Faulkner, "for within the past month from 800 to 1,000 illiterate men and women In the First division alone were taken to the polls on election day and voted as a machine. In the First division today illiterates are sitting on grand and petit juries and on city coun cils; helping to make and enforce, or preventing the making or enforcement of laws they cannot understand." Cave Job to Legion Man Governor Friend W. Richardson of California {thinks well of the advice of Legionnaires. He asked the advice of Legion men in picking a man to fill the position of secretary to the Veterans' Welfare commission and recently had this to say about the Legion's choice: "I gave the job to a young man whom I had never seen In my life, but who bad been recommended to me by the Legion and he has delivered the goods 100 per cent. I think the boys are running that department of the gov ernment in good shape and without Mrtlsanship." , LEGION MEMBERSHIP Ex-governor william E. GLASSCOCK, of W?#t Virginia, in a commnnlcaflon to Legion officials of Morgantown endorsing American Legion week there, said of the Legion: "I consider it the highest privilege accorded any young American to belong to the Amer ican Legion. It is an honor to be eligible to membership In this organization of service men. I have never been able to under stand why any young man who is entitled to membership is not an active member of some post of the Legion. I am sure that there are many of us who are not eligible to membership who would esteem it a high honor to be a member of the Legion. The good you can do as an organiza tion can hardly be estimated and It seems to me that every ex-service man owes it to him self and his comrades, and es pecially his disabled and more unfortunate comrades, to place himself In the best possible po sition for service. But he can not occupy that position unless* and until he unites with his, comrades in a strong virile or ganization dedicated to the noble purposes promulgated by the American Legion and for which t exists." LEGION MEMBER, 71, MADE GOOD RECORD Robert Thomas Wilson, seventy-one, member of Grand Forks post of the Legion, North Dakota, in addition to being one of the oldest active Legion members, has a service record which bears scrutiny. Mr. Wilson was sent to France early in 1917 in charge of a shipload of horses bought by the allies and, though his passports did not permit him to remain In France, he was determined 1 to see something of the war, After many narrow escapes from the French police he finally arrived at the front line and "got Into it," being sworn into the service on the front line on July 2, 1917. Commissioned as a first lieu tenant, he was assigned to duty with the Second pioneer engineers, with the duty of artillery observer. On several occasions Wilson acted as range finder for the One Hundred Fifty-first field artillery, In which his two sons were serving. He did not know, or find out, that his sons were in service in his vicinity until after the war. He was wounded on several occa sions, but at the present time Is hale and hearty for a man of his age, with no visible marks of the war except a missing forefinger which was torn away by an explosion of shrapnel. Colorado and Wyoming in Contest With Utah The department of Utah, American Legion, began recently a five months' membership campaign in competition with the departments of Colorado and Wyoming, ending on March 31, 1925, It was announced recently by J. C. Rebholz, chairman of the Utah de partment membership committee. The outcome will decide the Rocky foun tain membership championship, ac cording to Mr. Rebholz. A feature of the campaign will be the awards to local posts of Utah and to the. indi vidual member of any post with the highest' enrollments to his credit be fore December 31, 1924. To the post with the highest membership standing in the department at the close of the campaign next March will be pre sented a silver loving cup. The stand ing of the posts will be figured on the basis of the paid up membership as of December 31, 1924, compared with the paid up membership at the dose of the contest. At the state con vention of the winning department a stand of Legion, colors will be present ed to the victor. The colors will be bought by a pooled fund from the three departments. ^ 'Distinguished Service* for Ten Kansas Posts Ten posts of the Kansas department of the American Legion qualified fof the "Citation for Distinguished Serv ice," offered by National Commander James A. Drain to those posts which on December 1 had enrolled a mem bership for 1925 equal to their mem bership at the close of the books for the 1924 convention.

May Hold Memorial for Late Samuel Gompers Memorial services for Samuel Gomp ers, veteran president of the American Federation of Labor, who died recently in San Antonio, have been suggested as a part of the program of the 1925 na tional convention of the American Le gion at Omaha. Frank Haucke, de partment commander of Kansas, pre sented the suggestion to national head' quarters of the Legion for approval. Mr. Gotnpers, speaking of the Ameri can Legion, once said: "That the pleasant relations between the Ameri can Legion and the American Federa tion of Labor be extended to. every post and local union of both organizations, Is my earnest and most sincere wish." FEDERAL PRISON : (. ,? ' .. ' '? NEW WARDEN CONFERS WITH WASHINGTON OFFICIALS ABOUT ATLANTA PEN. ? . ' f Washington.?As the first step in a program for improving conditions in the Atlanta Federal Prison, John Snook, who takes charge as warden is prepared to establish a new industry for employment of idle prisoners and to seek better housing conditions in the overcrowded institution. Mr. Snook's policies, have been out lined to Department .of Justice offi cials with whom he was in conference and it was announced that as a result of these conferences, Luther C. Whit em, Cambridge, Mass., will be named as purchasing agent succeeding David J. Allen, who resigned under pressure during the recent investigation of the prison directed by Attorney-General Stone. '? Selection of deputy warden to suc ceed former Deputy Warden Fletcher now under indictment with former Warden Sartain, as a result d the housecleaning at the prison was dis cussed between Mr. Snook and depart ment officials but conclusions reached, if any, were withheld. Mr. Snook told Department officials that his brief visit to the prison be fore coming here for the conferences, convinced him that one of the chief problems at Atlanta was the idleness of prisoners. The present condition, he was quoted as saying, represented a dead loss to the prisoners them selves and to the Government since about half of the men in the institu tion are lying around in their cells for want of an occupation to employ their time. Poland Refunds Debt to America. Warsaw?The Polish diet ratified an agreement with the United States fof the funding of Poland's debt to America. The debt, amounting to $178,000,000, is due for food credit given Poland in 1919 and 1920. The diet took occasion to give an extremely hearty and friendly demon stration on behalf o4 the United States who was represented by Albert J. Pearson, minister to Poland, who was in the diplomatic gallery when the vote was taken. A deputy, referring to the aid lent by the United States during the most critical days of Poland's post-war his tory, was interrupted with loud cheer ing for the American republic. The deputy laid emphasis on the friendship shown Poland in the funding agree ment, saying the United States had done everything possible to facilitate the funding of the debt. Afterwards, Premier Grabski also delivered a speech of appreciation of America's friendship for Poland and thanked the United States for its con tinual proof of this friendship. The debt funding agreement was ratified unanimously and af&ewards all the deputies stood at their desks applauding. ? " 'j To lllumnate Falls. Schenectady, N.

EXCUSE-US TWINS Tills is the story of two strange chil dren yho 'lived In the land of Not At All, and who were called the Excuse Us twins. They were given these names because they were always begging to be ex cused, and every thing that was -said to them they took just exactly as it was said? or at least they acted'that way. And this is also to be the story of six of their ad ven tares?all "We Made This paeke,d lnto one - ' tone Come." St?fy'fl , One fine day the Excuse-L's twins, a boy and a girl they were, by the way, came home with a ragged, dirty, most untidy, miserable small child. The child's shoes were covered with nud and his coat seemed to shake the just as he breathed. "Why, children!" exclaimed the mother. . "What in the world have you done? Who is this strange child?" "Excuse us, mother," said the Ex cuse-Us Twins, "but you know you said the other day we didn't half appreciate what you .did for us, and that you wished you had a poor little child to do for as you do for us. You said a poor little child would be grateful. "And so we made this one come with And the mother of the Excuse-Us twins had to get the child back to his home as soon as she could, and gave him some of the twins' suits and sweaters and explained to his mother as best she could that she hadn t meant to kidnap the child. But the very next day the twins were found covering themselves with silver polish. They were smeared with it?all over ?covered! "What in the world have you done now?" said their mother with horror, and you can hardly blame her for that. "Excuse us, mother," they said, "but you know you told us you wished we could be brighter, and we saw this silver polish down at the store, and it said on the outside of the bottle that it was guaranteed to make the dullest object bright. "So we tried It." x Time passed by a little more quietly for awhile, but one day the mother had a caller who loved "natural" chil dren. She liked children to romp and use slang and she hated children who were too polite and too well-behaved. The mother of the Excuse-Us twins knew that her children would just suit this caller. So she called them in. But didn't those wretched twins just behave so unnaturally well? They said, "Yes. please," every few moments, and, "Yes, piother dear, whatever you wish, and whatever you think is best for us." And of all the times, this was the one time when their mother did not wish to have them so polite! < * . Afterward, of course, they said: "Excuse us, mother, but we thought you wanted us to have nice manners." A while after this they came home with a lot of starving, moth-eaten-look ing cats, and when their mother asked them what they had done this for, they said: "Excuse us, mother, but you said we must be kind to creatures helpless and less -fortunate than ourselves, and these cats surely are less fortunate." A good while passed by \rtJfoout any thing happening until on<?aTternoon they stayed out much too late, and as usual had an excuse. < "Excuse u 8, mother," they said, but you told us fresh air made us grow, and so we stayed out to get taller.

Don't Let That Cold Turn Into "Flu" , Rab on Good Old Matterole That cold may turn,into "Flu," Grippe or, even ?worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con gested parts and see how quickly it brings relief. Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold. As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, does the work without blister. Just rub it on with your finger-tips. You will feel p warm tingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation that ' brings welcome relief. To Mothers: Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children.
