The American Legion
With the banner of the national
commander of the American Legion
fluttering at her masthead above the
flags of all nations, the liner George
Washington sailed from Hoboken
Wednesday bearing a party of 250
members of the Legion, who will re-
visit the old battle scenes of France
as guests of the French government.
The party will land at Cherbourg and
will spend three weeks, in France, re-
turning to the United States about
September 15. The pilgrimage is
headed by John G. Emery, national
commander of the Legion, and among
the delegates representing every
state department of the veterans’ or-
ganization are Henry D. Lindsey of
Texas, and Franklin D’Olier of Phil-
adelphia, past national commanders.
The State Federation of Labor in
Oklahoma has invited the American
Legion to send representatives to its
next convention. Courtland M. Fa-
quay, national executive committee-
man from Oklahoma, will represent
the Legion. ‘The organizations are
working'to advance the same funda-
mental principles and the cementing
of the friendship will add strength to
both,” said Edgar Fenton, head of the
state labor organization.
When Mrs. Ida Crouch Hazlett,
a socialist speaker, was threatened
with violence recently at Des Moines,
la., a partjr of American Legion men
escorted her to the police station for
protection. The police department
commended the Legionnaires for their
chivalry.
James C. Russell, a member of the
Blackhawk Post of the American Le-
gion in Chicago,. has sent postcards
to United States senators and con-
gressmen. The cards bear a photo-
graphic reproduction showing Rus-
sell a few minutes after he had suf-
fered two gunshot wounds while
fighting in the trenches.
After reviewing a parade in Cleve-
land, Ohio, recently, in which the
United States flag was carried. John
G. Emery, national commander of the
American Legion, made a statement
in which he scored “the* two per cent
Americans” who fail to remove their
hats when the colors are passing.
Following a speaking tour of the
west and northwest, Lemuel Bolles,
national adjutant of the American Le-
gion, declared that everywhere in the
territory where he had visited he
found the Region had highest place
in community progress. He said po-
litical entanglements had been avoid-
ed, in all the states he had toured,
without losing effectiveness in the
promotion of true Americanism.
The citizens of Evansville, Ind.,
have built a home and presented it
to the mother of James B. Gresham,
one of the first three Americans to
die in the world war. Gresham was
killed November 3, 1917, during the
raid of a Germ ah patrol. -The hero’s
body was brought to the United
States recently and the reburial took
place last week under the auspices
of the Evansville Post of the Ameri-
can Legion.
Ben L: Cumbus, postmaster of Ha-
hira, Ga., a member of the American
Legion, who was shell shocked while
serving overseas, was found sleeping
on a bench in Pershing Square, Los
Angeles, recently. When awakened he
couldn’t explain how'' he got there.
He said the last thing he remembered
was applying for a vacation from his
work. Physicians said Cumbus ap-
parently suffered from amnesia due
to shell shock.

tion at Kansas City October 31 to

insurance, in charge of the insur-
ance division, has been appointed to

kane Post of the Legion.

ive committee of the American Le-
gion, disabled veterans of .the world
war, who have undergone training by
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, will be allowed to enter

sition for. which they have been train-
ed if application is made within sixty
days after completion of training.
“The American Legion is one of
the bulwarks of the world,” said
Marshal Foch in a recent interview
with an American newspaper corre-
spondent. Referring to the Paris
Post of the Legion, the marshal said
it was ‘the American heart of
France.”

Malaria is' such an insiduous foe to
mankind and once entrenched in the
human system is so hard to eradicate,
that it takes the combined and co-
ordinated effort of all citizens in
every community subect to the mal-
ady to eradicate it.
The physician treats only those
who consult him and as people be-
gin to feel better they often discon-
tinue treatment with the result that
0.02 they become malaria carriers and
chronic sufferers. It takes long and
careful treatment to get the germ out
of the system. Otherwise harmless
complications cause hundreds of
deaths through lack of vitality pro-
duced by this scourge of the section
of the Southern United States.
The International Health Board in
cooperation with the state and fed-
eral health authorities is conducting
many campaigns and malaria con-
trol projects. In these demonstra-*
tions it is strongly recommended that
the inhabitants of a malaria infected
district take quinine systematically -
as a preventive measure. The family
physician should be consulted when;
the disease shows itself in any fam-
ily. Malaria is gaining in the south,.
Write to the State Board of Health
or ask the local Red Cross for de-„
tailed information on how to com-
bat it.

OSCAR ROMAN,
Co-operative Observer
Eternal vigilance is the price we
that of safeguarding the. public
pay for freedom from disease. The
community that is indifferent to its
health problems pays the (toll in
both a high sickness and mortality
rate. We now have many grave
problems pressing upon us; but
none is of more importtance than
health
Bad air in the home poisons the
system and makes a bad temper for
those who are compelled to breathe
it.
