The American Legion membership is now the largest in its history, ac- cording to National Comdr. John R. McQuigg. Five departments—Flor- ida, Wyoming, Arizona, Idaho and Oklahoma—have exceeded their quo- tas for 1926 as set by the national headquarters, and - 31 departments ;n;zvse exceeded their membership of The Legion’s first over-the-top year is ‘the result of a national member- ship campaign launched by National Comdr. MecQuigg immediately fol- lowing his election at Omaha in 1925, when he commanded his department leaders to “go back to your depart. ments and make 1926 the greatest membersh'p year the Legion has ever known.' ‘While expressing gratification . for g. Legion’s unprecedented member- ip accomplishment up to date, the Legion’s leader “emphatically urged that there be no resting on the oars, declaring: “National membership of the Amer- Legion today is greater than it was on the 31st day of December, 1925, Every member gained from now on will be velvet so far as the national total is concerned. Now is the time fo put into the contest every ounce of energy that can be mustered. It will require effort, but it is worth it.” The national 'membership of the Legion has received impetus this year from unusually keen interdepart. mental membership contests with na- tional trophies as the reward. Now +that the contest to determine parade “position at the national convention at Philadelphia is ended, departments are stripped to the waist for the Sum- mer membership battles, with four national trophies the coveted prizes. The MacNider, D'Olier, Emery and North Carolina trophies all remain to be won between now and September 3:&:‘0 d;yuh pfln:-1 !toh the national con- ventlon, when all the conts 3 ficlally ended. m-m g In place of the regular meeting for July the 8 Chapeaux et 40 Dum-‘ will attend -t presentation of the pie- thre of “As No Man Has Loved” at the Wardman Park Theater - next Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Partners will meet promptly in the lobby of Ward- man Park Hotel and are invited to bring their families and friends.
