FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1920 —— ELIGIBILITY. [a STRICT, LEGION ENFORGES RULE Restrictions Governing Member- ship in Service Men’s Organiza- tion Given Out by Cam- paign Heads —_ Eligibility rules are being rigidly en- forced in the campaign here for Amer- ican Légion members, the rules being nation-wide in their application as giv- en out by the national organization: Only those persons are eligible to membership in the American Legion who served in the army, navy or ma- rine corps during that period follow- ing the declaration of the war by the United States and preceding the sign- ing of the armistice, Any persons who were enlisted or commissioned in reserve force, but not called to active duty or any persons whose duties did not involve active military duty are not eligible to membership. Membership in the S. A. T. C. is not sufficient to make a member thereot eligible to membership in the Legion. The character of the enlistment under which he was serving determines this bility and it must appear that he completely and fully inducted into the army, whether on duty with the s. A. T. or not. Members of the Red Cross, Y. M. C, A. and similar welfare organizations not being regularly enlisted, drafted, inducted or commissioned and not ha ing served on action duty in the army, navy or marine corps, are not eligible to membership. Although actively engaged in the furthering of our efforts in the war, members of the exemption boards are not eligible to membership in the Le- gion inasmuch as they are not enlisted or commissioned in the army, navy or marine corps. The public health service was not made a part of the army, although placed in the military service by proc- lamation of the president. Service rendered thereafter was with, rather than in, the army and does not carry with it the right to membership in the American Legion. Where a man was found physically disabled upon his entry into military service as a result thereof exempt from further military service, he is not eligible to membership in the Legion. Those men, however, to whom were given discharges by reason of physical disability incurred in the line of duty or whose disability was determined aft- er final .acceptance for active service are eligible to membership. It is to be noted that those app} cants who hold discharges. must pre- sent honorable discharges to prove mualification for membership in the Legion. The real test however, must be the nature of the obligation un:ler) which service was rendered and the! character, of service rendered during the perlod covered by our national con- stitution, Members’ of the, regujar army, navy and marine corps are eli eligible, if otherwise qualified. The constitution specifically bars from membership all who were dis- charged from service on other than an honorable status and have not since! been restored to such status, and those who on conscientioys or other grounds refused to give unqualified service or submit themselves to military dis-; cipline. . ‘ The constitution specifically provides ‘that there shall be only one form of membership. ‘That is an active mem-) bership in the Legion, and there is no provision or authority for any form of honorary membership. | All women who served in the army,! navy or marine corps under an ac-| tual enlistment therein are eiigible to! membership in the Legion. They are usually members of the army nurse corps and the yeoman (Ff) of the navy. —— Lady Gyercomes Use of Morphine “Troubled about 10 years with what the doctors called gall stones, often I) thought I would die before the doctor} could get here, when he would give me & hypodermic or morphine and adyise| @n operation.

FAIR PLAY WILL SECURE BETTER POSTAL SERVICE Employes Receive Adequate Pay Before Blaming the Worker The Literary Digest for May 22 con- tains an article which will be read with particular interest by those citi- zens of Casper who have had cause to! complain of post office conditions here, and which shows ‘most plainly that similar conditions exist over the en- tire country. The article, entitled “Are Post Office Employes Human Be- ings?" shows clearly that the fault lies _not ‘with the underpaid postal) employe but with the American pub- lic which does not insist that fair pay and fair play be given. The Literary Digest urges that its 2,000,000 readers bring their influence to bear upon their senators and rep- resentatives/that the joint salary com- mission now considering the needs of +the “post-office department may..know the sentiment of the American people; upon the subject. The Literary Digest is pertinent and) to the point in its article which points out for instance, that the men in charge of the postal system of New York city display abilities which would command salaries of from $25,000 to $75,000 in big commercial organiza- tions. Yet the biggest salary they can receive after ice amounts to about $65 a week. The letter carrier who Is a veritable pack animal at certain seasons of the year can never earn more than $32 a week under the present system.
