The Veterans of Forelgn Wars have pointed out that their national organi- zation has taken action at three suc- cessive encampments urging that a veteran be appointed as a member of the Civil Service Commission, due to the fact that there are so many vet- | erans in civil service, and that they should be entitled to representation on the commission thereby. He also pointed out that numerous assurances had been given that this should be given consideration when a vacancy occurred, and now the opportunit has occurred and the Veterans of For- eign Wars are pressing the matter. They have also asked the other vet eran organizations to co-operate with them in this matter. Comdr. J. B.

ACTS TO END | STATE COMPETITION South Dakota Firm Submits Docu- ments in Suit to Stop Gov- ernor’s Policy. By the Associated Press. PIERRE, S. Dak, August 1.—Pa- pers covering the White Eagle Ofl Company’s proposed injunction suit against South Dakota to restrain the | highway commission from expending public money in furtherance of retail- ing gasoline were submitted today to Chief Justice Polley of the State Su- preme Court. The action will not be considered, however, until a full bench is present. Gov. Gunderson, Attorney General B. F. Jones, State Auditor Jones and ate Treasurer Driscoll are made pafties to the suit. The suit would, if an injunction were granted, prevent issuance of warrants against the $100,000 of high- way money appropriated tor gasoline stations and equipment and would prevent the highway commission and the governor from spending public money for equipment, sites or motor vehicle fuel. Meanwhile the State continued its campaign to force lower prices, add- ing pressure against the privately owned companies by reopening two as ditional filling stations, making five now in operation. Twenty-ive others will open @as soon as the necessary supplies and equipment are received. FREE PORT AUTHORIZED. Austria Grants Charter for Site on Danube River.

JORDAN Much Needed Laughs to Ease Solitude of Arctic Con- tributed by Many Friends of Explorers—Leader Will Tell One Story a Day. “Good humor is important to the health of the men who brave the dangers of an Arctic expedition and to the success of such an expedition,” said Dr. Donald B. MacMillan, who is on his way to the top of the world for the seventh time. MacMillan se- lects the men for his expedition care- fully, welghing each one's tempera- :\lent and character before accepting m. There must be no discord, no en- mities, no cranks. The loneliness of the Arctlc, the close quarters in the igloos and the endless monotony of the days without newspapers or di- version. are a severe test of good nature. Murders have been committed and primitive hatreds aroused on ex- peditions (not MacMillan's) because enough care was not exercised in the choice of men. A Good Laugh. “A good laugh,” according to Mac- Millan, “will keep the spirit of the party happy and friendly when nerves have become so that every man is on edge. After a few weeks . crowded Finto small quarters each man knows his shipmate so well that there fs nothing left to know. As time goes on the men are wont to keep by them- selves, or to take their dog teams and dash off on a visit to their Esquimo friends, perhaps 100 miles away, to get away from each other. They are sapped dry of everything. Talked out. With the radio, conditions are better, but one of my most important tasks is to keep the men in good humor and on friendly terms.” Friends who have often heard this Arctic explorer who has dedicated his life to solving the mysteries of the Far North, anthropological, geograph- | ical, and so on through the science, talk about the difficulties of keeping | the members of his expedition in good | humor decided to add their bit to the | Millan with a “Log of Laughter’—a laugh a day for 90 days, as an anti- dote for bad nerves. Storles were contributed by the Governors of Maine and Massachu- | setts, by the mayor of Bosfon, by famous theatrical stars, by the cine- ma child favorite, Jackie Coogan; Senators, milionaires, sportsmen and friends, who have known the bachelor of the North since childhood. Each was asked to send the story he con- sidered the most humorous. So when the good ship Bowdoin, presented to MacMillan by the alumni of his alma mater, pointed her nose around the | rugged rocks of Monhegan Island Me., June 21, there lay on the chart | table in the cabin of the commander | of the expedition a square bundle done up in a crash towel. The towel, which served for the cover is to be given to. some Eskimo, who will in- deed cherish it, as it means a rece: from drying the face and hands, which are washed if the body is not, with coarse dried grass. Ninety sheets of paper, each separate, with A LOG OF LAUGHTER | One Laugh a Day. | Presented to Lieut. Comdr. Donald B. MacMillan | with the love and well wishes | of his friends on his Seventh Expedition to the Arctic. | The idea is that MacMillan will read one story each day and tell that story at mess. While the ships are en route the storles will be radioed each day | 1o the Peary so thut the scientist, the | aviators and the crew of that yacht, | under the command of Lieut. Comdr. | of Chicago, can also laugh and keep in good spirits. None Off-Color. Not one story is off-color. Among | those who contributed storfes wa Don Marquis, who sent his book. “The Old Soak's History of the World” (said to be one laugh from beginning to end). accompanied by a letter which was a laugh ftself. In the letter Ma quis wrote: “I will not sit down and write any laughs for Mac3lillan, much & I admire him. From the way the weather has started out I think the cxplover has the laugh on us, but 1 inclose copy of the tory of the World,' written in cooler | moments and which some of my friends say is funnier than hell.” The | book is autographed with an inscrip- | of all men is he who braves danger for the sake of achievement.

His con- tinuous plaint was ‘I wan wah.” He was finally enlisted and give~ the job of manicuring the mules. His plaint continued, “I want wah.” As time went by this negro recruit by de- vious routes reached France, but he was not sent up to the front and his buddies had to listen to his continu- ous lament, “I want wah.” The day came when his outfit was sent up to the front, but all was silent, except the lamenter. After some days of hactivity the enemy began to bom- bard the line and a shell fell where the “I want wah" stood. After the xcltement was over hig fellow fight- ers pulled him out of a pile of dirt feet first. Standing up and rubbing Charles Innes sent several stories | about President Coolidge. One was to this effect: Even when the Governor of Massachusetts, Calvin Coolidge was made quite,aware by patriotic Bos- tonians that he was from Northamp-| ton, not from Boston. Such is the way | with Bostonians. Once, after Coolidge ‘became President, a woman came to him at a reception and said: “Mr. President, T am so glad to be here. I am from Boston.” The President an- swered, “Yes, madam, 1 know, and you'll never get over it.” Coolidge Story. % Another one of the Innes stories 'was about a woman who rushed up | who wanted to go to Heaven to stand ‘Old Soak's His- | o |friend had repeated {have the same, !on a church steeple. How did the man to the President after a speech and said: “I've stood for 20 minutes listening to your address.” “So did 1,” was the comment of the President. Senator Copeland sent a half-dozen laughs, mostly political, though there was one clever medical story. The one MacMillan will probably appre- ciate most was about a boy who was sitting in the Senate gallery with his father. The session was opened with prayer. The little fellow tugged at his” father's coat tails and asked: “Father, is he praying for the Sen- ators?” “No,” my son,” answered the wise father, “he looks at the Sen- ators and prays for the country.” Bruce Barton’s Story. Bruce Barton wrote a true story about an advertising friend of his, George Fowler. “One night when Mr. Fowler reached home his wife said: ‘George, you must hear your daugh- ter say her prayers.’ So the husband and wife went up to the little girl's room and she knelt beside her mother and repeated the Lord's Prayer, end- ing with, ‘Dear Lord, forgive us our debts as we forgive our dentist.’ " Gov. Fuller's stories had to do with a farmer and Swede laborer. The Swede came late to work each day and the farmer said to him, “Ollie, you will have to be on time or I shall have to fire you. The next time you are late I shall discharge you.” So Ollie bought himself a second-hand alarm clock and all went well for a week or so. But one day the alarm did not go off and Ollie was late. He was fired on the spot. Ollie returned to his room. There he took the clock apart to find out why it did not go off, A look of enlightenment came over Ollie's fac ‘Oh, 1 know what ban the matter.” he said to himself, “the engineer he bane dead.” Puzzle Laugh. Blanche Ring contributed a cross- word puzzle laugh. A Jew was solv ing a cross-word puzzle. He said to his family, “Give me a word in one letter that means a food, and it isn't T. Quick. Give up? X" (meaning eggs for those who do not get the ac- cent). Mike Hennessey was catholic in his contribution, giving = several laughs in different dialects. One was about a little Jewish boy in school. The tdacher asked all the children up. Every pupil arose except Ikey. “Why. Ikey, don't you want to go to Heaven?" asked the astomished teacher. “No, was the answer, ‘Papa says that business is going to hell. Wellington Cross w motoring across the country great deal of trouble with his car one blow-out after another. When he finally got fixed up he broke speed te: “A man had a records out in William Jenning: Bryan's country and was arrested. The judge fined him $10. The man laid down a $20 bill and walked out. The judge called after him. ‘Come back. I fined vou $10 and you have left $20.° ‘That’s all right,’ answered the speeder. ‘I am going away from here a hell of a lot faster than I came . Spike MacCormick wrote a humor ous monologue which had to do with explorers and adventurers and told [ about what he had discovered on a | Winter expedition to Buffalo.

However, this report would not be complete without Jackie Coo- gan’s contribution. His letter was MacMillan He wished Dr. succe: { also stated, the letter being written | { Dr. Eugene Lyman Fiske of the Life|during the recent hot spell: ““Thi weather makes me wish 1 were sit- ting at the foot of the North Pole eat- ing an ice cream cone.” Then he in- cluded three delightful stories and a conundrum The first story was about a woman who knew the manager of the Zieg- feld Follies. She was passing the theater with her little boy on a very hot day and dropped in to the matinee to cool off & moment. As they sat down in one of the back seats the little fellow asked in a loud voice: “Mamma, do they have Indians in the Follies?” ‘Hush, my child: no, be quiet,” Whis- pered the mother. But the little chap did not mind and asked so that every | one in the theater could hear: “Then who scalped all those men in the front row Another of Jackie's contributions was: “Two traveling men were in the South. They went into a restaurant for breakfast. One man ordered orange juice and two boiled eggs. His companion told the waiter to bring him an order of orange Jjuice, but to eliminate the eggs. The waiter looked puzzled, but went out. In a_moment he returned and asked for the order again. The second man, seeing his confusion, said. after his the order, ‘I'll only eliminate the eggs.’ Again the waiter went away confused and returned with the cook. The cook asked what the order was. By this time the two men were thor- oughly enjoying the confusion, and repeated the order as they had given it. The cook stood nonplussed a mo- ment and then said,’ “I'se sorry, sir, but the dishwasher done break the A Conundrum. The conundrum which pleased Jackie so much is: “A man and a goose went up In a balloon. The balloon broke and the man and the goose fell get down?” The answer, which Jackie grasped so readily, has stuck many an adult. “He plucked the goose.” And if that is not laugh provoking, stop and think what pillows are stuffed with. MacMillan will - prob- ably have to. The other Coogan story was about the little boy who had a pet dog named Paddy. The dog was killed one day, and when the little chap came home his mother told him. But there was no comment and no tears. Later that night the mother heard her boy ving and screaming in the nursery. She went up to see what was the matter. urse just told me that Paddy is dead,” cried the little fellow. “Why, I told you this afternoon,” his mother tried to quiet him. He con- tinued crying: “But I thought you said Daddy." Besides the many stories there was included in the log a book of Glimer- icks by Shaemas J. A.

By the Associated Pres: SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.—Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of Stanford University and internationally known scientist, today announced plans of a movement to raise a $5,000 scholarship fund for John T. Scopes, defendant in the re- cent Tennessee evolution trial. Un- der the plan Scopes would be per- mitteg to do graduate work in any institution which he might select. “A number of naturalists interested in the case of John T. Scopes have combined to raise him a scholarship fund for graduate work in some in- stitution of his own choosing,” Dr. Jordan said. “It is sald that Scopes is a modest, scholarly young man, without means at present, and he has refused vari- ous exploitation inducements offering thousands of dollars, not wishing to hamper his future.” IMPRISONED PRELATE APPEALS CONTEMPT CASE Ousted Bishep of Cathedral of St. Nicholas Jailed in Refusal to Heed Court Order.

He Went Back to Cell to Await Deportation. LOS ANGELES, August 1 (®).— When Ulcer Singh, a Hindu, charged with entering the United States ille- lly, appeared before the United Stafes commissioner here, he argued that as “an artist, a wandering min- strel” unfamiliar with passport re- quirements, he deserved better treat- ment than deportation. “If you are a minstrel, commanded the commis Singh sang. “That's enough,” cried the auditor. “Back to India for you,” which made Ulcer sore as a boifi but did not save him from being returned to his cell to await deportation. cum'fioui T0 CHURCH.

The note, scribbled in pencll, bore no date. It read: “Am captive on board a rum ship off Ambrose Light ship. I have been threatened if I am not ransomed within two weeks. Mary Andrews.” While not discounting the proba- bility of a hoax, Capt. Bryan notified captains of the 15 Coast Guard boats patrolling inside the 12-mile limit to search any rum boat that might ven ture inside the limit. The bottle and note, which was on ordinary note paper, were turned over to the St. George, S: I., detective bureau, which igned two detective sergeants to investigate.

'E\_\' YORK, August 1.—Conflicting majority and minority reports of a commission of the Protestant Episco- pal Church on provineial organization were made public today, foreshadow. ing a clash in the general convention of the church in New Orleans next October. Fourteen bishops, clergymen and laymen signed the majority report which favored extension of the powers of the provincial or regional organi zations, composed of adjoining dio ceses. The minority objected to this on the ground that it would threaten church harmony by producing sec tional feeling. The outstanding recommendations of the majority are that provincial organizations shall prepare budgets for work in their provinces: that ap- propriations based on these budgets shall be made by the national council of the church to the provincial or ganizations and distributed by them and that missionary bishops within the province shall be elected by the synod of the province.
