“TOURS N TR SUNDAY” STARY WASHINGTON, DT €7 DECEMBER®16° 19282 PART ~ 6.2 Veterans of (Continued from Sev age.) Wood announces that & number of im- portant matters will be discussed and Teports of varlous committees received. The conference of post commanders and post adjutants last Monday in room 1046, United States Veterans' Bureau, was not only a successful affair, but it was the consgnsus of opinion that great- er progress had been made since the department convention last August in getting members paid up for the suc- coeding year than in any previous year i the history of the organization. Tentative Teports from the various | posts showed that over 25 per cent of the 1928 members hed already paid their dues for the coming year. The Vincent B. Costello Post has organized a “flying squadron” and is cngaged today in Younding up its members with a view to winning one of the trophies donated by the department commander. All of the posts in the department, With the ex- ception of four, were represented at the conference. This was the first of a series of conferences which will be held throughout the year, when subjects af- fecting all of the posts will be discuss and the commanders and adjutants given an opportunity to exchange ideas. The silver trophy donated by Past National Comdr. Edward E. Spafford for the post showing the greatest per| cent gain in membership during the past three years has been presented to Lafayette Post, No. 9, of this depart- ment. The award was made at the San Antonio convention and the name of Lafayette Post is the first to be en- graved on the silver shield which adorns the base of the trophy. The remainin nine shields will be engraved each year as the winning post of the local depa ment is honored at future national con- | ventions First Vice Comdr. Thomas D. Walsh | and Department Adjt. Howard S. Fisk | roturned a few days ago from Indi:\h-{ apolis, Ind., where they attended a con- ference of department commanders and department adjutants called by Na- tional Comdr. Paul V. McNutt and Na- | tional Adjt. James F. Barton. The con- | ference was held in the administration building at national headquarters and | was attended by officials from every State in the Union, the District of Co- Jumbia and one foreign department, that of Italy. The conference was featured by ad- dresses by Past Department Comdr. Watson ‘B. Miller of this department, now chairman of the national rehabil- itation committee, and John Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the national fegislative committee. ~The sessions covered a period of three days of the| previous week and continued from 9 e'clock in the morning until 6 in the evening. Mr. Miller spoke on the na- tional program regarding ‘“rehabili- tation,” and Mr. Taylor selected as his subject, “The National Legislative Pro- gram for the Year and How the Depart- ments Could Assist the National Leg- 4slative Commmittee.” During the sessions other speakers talked on child welfare, membership eommunity service, fundemental post organization, publicity, national defense, department publications, legal and policy problems, incorporation, emerg- ency units, junior base ball, selling the American Legion and many other sub- | Jects of general interest to members of the organization. The last day of the conference the members motored in busses over to the plant where the American Legion monthly magazine is printed and spent the afternoon watch- ing the production of the nearly one mmillion copies as they were being dis- tributed and mailed to every section of the world. The conference was featured in the ‘closing hour with an address by Na- tional Comdr. McNutt, in which he stressed activity on the part of the ‘American Legion in backing the naval bullding program as outlined by Presi- dent Calvin Coolidge on Armistice night at the Washington Auditorium, in this city, to the end that the United States may fulfill its standard in the 5—5—3 Tatio agreement between England, Ja- pan and the United States. The na- tional commander pointed out that “the United States was the only one of the three great powers that had lived up to the spirit and letter of the agree- snent and naval disarmament confer- gnces of Washington and Geneva. Al- though the American Legion stands firmly behind it policy of an adequate ‘national defense, it is as well deeply | terested in all steps toward peace,” he concluded. The entertainment provided for the wisiting commanders and adjutants con- pisted of a “Soviet” dinner and a ban- suet by the Forty and Eight the clos- ing night. National officers addressed all of the conferences and the social affairs during the three days of the conference. Vice Comdr. Walsh and Adjt. Fisk were highly gratified at_their reception at the conference, and incidentally be- came acquainted with many of the commanders and adjutants from the Btates. They spoke of the conference BS being not only interesting. but edu- cational as well, and they have brought pack to this department information which will be of value to the posts, their officers and members of the rank pnd file as well. The American Legion department pdjutants and_cemmanders of all the 8 States, the District of Columbia and geveral departments outside the bound- aries of the United States have re- turned home with the outstanding Legion objectives for the coming year mpressed upon them by the annual onference that ended last week at Eal\onnl headquarters at Indianapolis, nd. Dan Sowers, national Americanism director, emphasized the best Legion fethod of treating Communists. “The individual Communist thrives | on public opposition,” he said. “They | H.

Doyle, formerly of the.472d En- gineers, was chosen senior vice com- mander, and Michael Kostich, formerly of the 326th Infantry, was named junior vice commander. Election of members of the chapter executive committee was: Margaret E. Ryan, Lee T. Turner, R. L. Cham- bers and Frank M. Owens. ‘The report of Adjt. George Martin showed the organization to be in good condition, but it was decided to im- mediately launch a drive for new mem- bers in the hope of strengthening the delegation which will go from this city to the national convention at Detroit next June. Instead of the chapter independently conducting Christmas exercises at the hospitals, it was decided to co-operate in a plan which is being made by the District of Columbia Department of the D. A. V. to have a special com- mittee handle the whole program dur- ing the holidays. After the holidays, 1t is expected, 1t will be possible to form a definite esti- mate as to what is to be done on legis- Iation for the disabled during the pres- ent session of Congress, according to an announcement last week by the Washington office of the D. A. V. The national legislative program of the D. A. V., carrying proposed changes reau, has already been covered in an omnibus bill which will be considered by a subcommittee of the veterans’ com- mittee of the House. This group is composed of Chairman Royal C. John- son and Representatives Bird Vincent of Michigan and A. L. Buiwinkle of North Carolina.

A. V. against the manner In which the Tyson-Fitzgerald retirement bill is being administered, and one of the first of the suggested amendments to this law_was offered by Senator Bingham of Connecticut. While Senator Bing- ham opposed this measure in its orig- inal form, he now fathers a bill to prevent the Veterans' Bureau from re- ducing the ratings of former emergency officers from the ratings they held when the law was enacted last May, and wants an_extension of one year for the time of filing retirement. The D. A. V.-is supporting a bill introduced last_week by Representa- tive Hamilton Fish, jr., of New York to allow $8 a month to men who are hospitalized but who are not receiving compensation. There are dozens of men in the four Government hospitals of Washington who have never vet been able to con- nect their disabilities to the World War service, and should the Fish bill be passed, this will afford some relief dur- ing the time these men are undergo- ing treatment. Efforts are being made to have the proposed executive order covering mili- tary preference in civil service employ- ment issued before Christmas. Some time ago, after hearing the tes- timony of representatives of the D. A. V. and others, the President’s commission filed its report at the White House, and it is now expected that only a short time will elapse before a decision as to the recommendations is made.

NEW YORK (#)—The American Museum of Natural History has Opencdl a hall of fishes, where visitors may see | for themselves the records that cause scientists to belleve that possibly land animals once came from the sea. A few fishes living today have true lungs by which they breathe even after | the water in which they live has dmd; up. Specimens of these fish are on | exhibition, with four legs in the shape of paddles, which are the equivalent of fore and hind legs of land animals The theory is that these fish belong to long past ages. They come from Aus- trallan and African waters and are named lung fish. The exhibits grade fish, showing in the highest types the fighting tarpon and trout whose ability to escape after being hooked furnishes one of the chief pleasures of anglers. The great predatory fish of the oceans and the world’s most beautiful water inhabitants are shown in repro- ductions that depict their natural actions. Models show how fish swim, how some possess marvelous mecha- nisms for transmitting slight changes in water pressure to their interior bal- ancing organs, how they breathe, build r nests and protect their young. COLORADO AREA STARTS MARKETING ONION CROP Unknown in Locality Four Years Ago, Crop Now Covers 600 Acres. By the Associated Press. ROCKY FORD, Colo.—From now un- til the end of January the Arkansas Valley of Colorado will pour into the market its crop of great white Valencia onions. . Four years ago they were unknown in the valley. An importation from Spain, the onions had been grown and stored successfully in only two places in the United States—the east shore of Salt Lake, in Utah, and in the Yakima Valley of Washington. ‘The soil and climate of the Arkansas Valley has proven itself ideal to Valen- cia culture. The bulb matures in the heat of Summer, is cured and stored in adobe warehouses for the Winter mar- ket. This year's area of 600 acres is expected to be increased to 1,000 or 1,500 acres next year. Women hold a unique place in- the Colorado harvest of Valencias. It has been found that with a little stool and pair of mule shears women can go down the long rows, topping more onions in a day than the same number of men, Many women and girls of Rocky Ford were employed as toppers this year at $3 a day. ——— Remains of a hippopotamus recently found in South Africa are believe 10,000 years old. e 1'°J NIW VORK DIRECT SWEDISHAMERICANLINE iy st_local_agent. targe, modern, comfort- ships. | Excellént cuisine Winter Cruises West Indies Mediterranean Around the World South America Africa Bermuda Havana Panama Canal Jamaica Porto Rico Ask_for Spe Europe Make your reservations mnow for Spring and Summer sailings, in order to secure choice accom- modations.
