was every evidence of hard)
work. Made an old chap like
the writer feel young to mingle
with the crowd of young folks
who were so evidently enjoying
themselves. Reports are that
it was one of the most success-
ful affairs of its kind that have
been h*dd.

The American Legion
There is a grand bunch of
chaps in the Legion. Men who
were in the last or first world
war. Many of them were in
France and know what war is
without its glamor. These
legionaires have settled down
Tter the years have passed and
from a more or less organization
of ‘ fun” as it seemed to be in
its beginning it is now a real as-
set to the country in the wav of
public' service. We had a fine
example of this in the manner
in which the recent War Chest
drive was put over. We have
heard some of their objectives
outlined aud have seen the way
they have carried these object-
ives out.
The national organization is
a tremendous power for stabil-
ity, for service and a fineexem-
pier of patriotism. Knowing
war as they do gives them the
right te advise now.
Look out for the Men’s Fel-
lowship Club, fellows, because
Mr. Collins and Mr. Kelcy Is-
enbeig of the program have a
wicked gleam in their eyes.
President, Jim Jeter is rounding
up the gang and the third
Tuesday should be a red letter
day.
The Hegira of
Sam Parker
Between suns our old friend,
Sam Parker, silently folded his
tent like the Arabs and stole
from among us. Sam headed
west a little lace maybe to be
following Horace Greely’s ad-
vice but in search of health for
Mrs. Parker and himself he
simply “took out". We under-
stand that Sam was headed for
Marfa but did not tarry there
long and has moved on. Where-
V\e read with regret in the
Houston papers that we are to
lose our faithful and efficient
city engineer and fire chief. As
Mayor Thompson told the Press
reporter the war comes first and
what and whom our Uncle
Sammy wants he should get,
but we are going to miss Melvin.
We learn chat Rev. Hal Cun-
ningham made a trip to St.
Louis the first ,of the week to
confer with Red Cross officials
regarding taking a place with
that great organization. Again
first things come first but if we
do lose Hal Cunningham it will
be a real loss,
Chairman, Newspaper Pulpwood Campaign,

Death Rode Handlebars
Thirty thousand persons,
mostly children, were victims
of bicycle accidents in this
country last year. Nearly 650
of tgese hapless folks rode into
into the eager embrace of
Death. Here in Houston last
year there were 196 bicycle ac-
cidents, bringing painful injury
to 43, death to 3. The Associa-
tion now is preparing suggested
traffic legislation designed to re-
duce this heavy toll.
