They know full well that the Government, through congressional appropriations and the administration of the Veterans' Bureau, is endeavor- ing to do all within its power. But they also know that there is real need of an assisting and _sympathetic agency. In the last six years the American Legion has proven its worth as the principal of those ca pacities. This fund is needed to put the Legion’s work in this respect on a permanent and businessike basis. Consequently it cannot help but com- mend itself to those who are able to contribute.” Women Convict Man; Weep. Harry Ragan, a highway robbery suspect, was convicted in Wyandotte County, Kans., by a jury that had several women on it. The women broke into tears after the verdict they had voted for and helped to reach was read, explaining they felt sym pathy for the prisoner, but had laid their sympathy aside when studying the case and voting.
