—t PAGE TEN |Commander of Department of New | Mexico Knows Abou Professions Represented in Membership. TS In fils brief career a farmer, trap- per, dynamite worker, oil field work- er, motion picture operator, boo keeper and lawyer, J. W. Chapman, Gallup, New Mex- ico, came well qualified te his present post as commander of the state’s depart- ment of the Aier- fcan Legion, He knows a. little ! about every pro- ifession represented in the state’s mem- ibership. — Covering all of the United States and = imost of Mexico in his travels, Mr. = Chapman settled down to the practice ‘of law in New Mexico just before iAmerica entered the World war. When she did, he volunteered as a mechanic ‘and chauffeur and spent two months = in an army motor shop. Then he was transferred to a balloon schoeol, but before he could get acquainted with the blimps they moved him agaln, time to the company’s pers quarters. He was in an of ing camp when the armistice came. Entering Legion work early, Mr. Chapman w: 1 member of the com- | ‘mittee which wrote the wnon-political clause into the organization's consti- tution. He boils down his biography to this: “I am a member of the A. F. & A, M, B. P. 0. E, and K. of P. I am an American by birth, 1r11mug ‘and inclination; an Episcopalian by faith and a prohibitionist by law. I sing, dance, play the piano and am | marrled. What else could I ask?” | “TITLES OF SOME NOTABLES? General Douglas Haig, “Earl .and Field Marshal”; Beatty, “Ami. ral of the Fleet. T Decoratlons and titles won by dls- | tinguished British and Canadlan guests at the third annual convention of the American Leglon in Kansas City, October 31, No\'crx)lz)nr 1 and 2, are testimony of their nbtuble record: during the World war. General Douglas Halg bears the ! ‘titles of earl and field marshal and 'has the right to use the following let- | = ters, indicating decoratious, after his name: “K. T, G, C. B, 0. )M, G. C. V, O,K.C LE” Admiral Beatty’s official desigpation ds “Admiral of the®Fleet, the Right \Honorable Earl Beatty, G. C. B, 0. M, G.C. V.0, D. 8. 0 . The correct manner to address the ‘commander of the Canadian corps in ! ‘h‘nnce is “Gen. Sir William Currie, G. O M G, K:C. B, K C. M G, C. B., Principal of McGill university.” i The participation 'of Great Britain and her dominions in President Hard- Ing’s world conference on disarma- ment is belleved by national conven- ition officials to remove all doubts in regard to the presence of the distin- guished guests at the Legion nmionnl ‘convention. 'SWALE WAS A DISHWASHER Commander of Legion’s Washington Department Licked Kitchen Boss, Then Took His Job. The story of how a fist ficht made him a dish washer Is told by Thomas W. Swale, cgm- ‘mander of the American Legion's department of the state of Washing- ton. While the down- trodden bookkeep- er of a Great Northern con- struction gang, Swale was cajoled into an encounter with the gang's _ = bully, who held the rank of camp cleanser of the pots and paus. The fight became rough, the bookkeeper knocked out the dish washer and the foreman forthwith made up for lack of personnel by assigning Swale to ‘wash the dishes until the beaten kitch- en mechanlc could return from (he hospital. After gaining an education, Swale, ‘at twenty-three years and 200 pounds was the “baby of the Washington leg- islature,” serving for two terms. Dur- ing the war he served in the army In- telligence section in charge of I, W, W, investigations in the Pacific North- 'west. He is a practicing lawyer in Seattle, Wash, i The Verb Salvage. The verb “to salvage” did not pass tout of exlstence with the disbanding lof the A. E. F. Its synonym, “to man- age,” is still recognized as part of the language of Legionnaires. George R. Anderson post of the American Legion :at Ardmore, Gkla, recently “sal- ivaged” a llbrary of 2,000 volumes. ‘Ag In the army days when anything = flom o mess kit to a fiveton truck xmight have been acquired mysteri ously with the simple explanation “we :managed for it” or the equally es |sive “we salvaged it.” the post ac- | iquired the library. During the war the people of Ardmere had collec: |a large number of hooks to he to army camps for use of soliicrs, ‘after the voluu:es were collected and boxed they were never shipped.
