Department Comdr. Frank Lockhead will preside. This being the only meeting of the body | before Memorial day, final action must | be taken at this session on several im- | portant questions, chief of which is the participation of the Veterans of For- eign Wars in the annual memorial services at Arlington. Another matter | of importance that the council must take up is the final arrangements for the buddy poppy drive which will be held in this city on the three days pre- ceding Memorial day. The buddy poppy campaign of the Veterans of Foreign Wars has received the indorsement of President Hoover. | The President was the recipient last week of the first little buddy poppy to be distributed in the 1929 drive. Comdr. Lockhead also is in receipt of | the following letter from the president of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, Proctor L. Dough- erty: “The President of the United States having given his indorsement to the | annual buddy poppy campaign to be held under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars May 27 to 29, inclu- sive, I am glad to add my indorsement to the campaign as covering the Dis- trict of Columbia. I understand that these poppies are made by disabled serv- ice men in hospitals and elsewhere, and that the money obtained from their sale 1s expended for the relief of the families of those who died in the service of our country. This is a most worthy object, and I hope that it will be given support by the people of the District of Co- Jumbia.” Buddy poppies are distributed in every town and city of any size in the United States and its possessions by units of the Veterans of Foreign Wars during_the week preceding Memorial day. Besides the practical purpose of these campaigns, which is to provide funds for the relief of ex-service men and their dependents and for the main- tenance and upkeep of the National V. F. W. Home for Widows and Orphans, there is a sentimental value attached to the distribution of the flowers by this organization. By asking the general public to wear a buddy poppy on Me- morial day the V. F. W. hopes to keep alive the memory of those comrades who died in defense of their country. * Comdr. in Chief Eugene Carver was & visitor to the city during the week just passed. While here he consulted Capt. E. J. Bettelheim, chairman of the national legislative committee of the V. F. W, on several important issues that the organization is vitally interested in and he also accompanied the delegation that presented President Hoover with the first buddy poppy. The commander in chief stated the 25,000 increase in membership that he asked for following his election at Indian- apolis last Fall has already materialized and he is confident that at the close of his term in August he will be able to report a growth in the V. F. W. of more than 40,000 since a year ago. Mrs. Bessie Hankens of Revere, Mass., national president of the Ladies Aux- iliaries of the V. F. W, was also a wvisitor to Washington recently. Department Junior Vice Comdr. Abram Grudd, who is making arrange- ments for the On-to-St. Paul Club, announces that the railroads will again give the Veterans of Foreign Wars round-trip tickets for the price of a one-way fare on the occasion of the 1929 National Encampment of the or- ganization, to be held at St. Paul, Minn., August 25 to 30. He also announces the plan of chartering through Pullman sleeping cars for the round trip, Wash- ington to St. Paul and return, using the cars as sleeping quarters while at St. Paul, is being considered by his committee. Comrade Grudd will make a complete report to the council at the meeting tomorrow night, and he urges every comrade that is interested to be present. Paragraph 1 of General Orders, No. 16, issued over the signature of Capt. Frank Lockhead, department com- mander, reads as follows: “It is de- sired to bring to the attention of the Department of the District of Columbia, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the meri- torious achievements of the Overseas Drum and Bugle Corps of this depart- ment during the past few days. Scor- ing a distinct triumph at its appear- ance on the stage of the Fox Theater on Sunday, April 14, the corps marched to new and greater laurels by winning first prize at the Winchester apple blossom festival on April 19, thereby defeating all other drum and bugle corps entered in this event. In the few short weeks of its existence it is diffi- cult to believe the corps could have reached the high state of military disci- pline and bearing which carried it to success against all competitors in this and bugle corps classic. By its conduct and bearing the Overseas Drum and Bugle Corps carried the name of the Veterans of Forelign Wars before the public in & manner that can re- | flect only the most favorable attention | upon our honored organization. In | view of the service they have rendered the Department of the District of Columbia, I desire to commend the officers and members of the Overseas Drum and Bugle Corps for their untir- ing efforts in our behalf and to wish them a continuation in the future of the successes they have already en- Joyed.” Corps Comdr. Harvey L. Miller re- ports two new additions to the bugle section, Marion Stone of Peary Ship and Comrade Clarke of Equality-Walter Reed Post. E. J. Dowell of Front Line Post has been added to the drum sec- tlon.. Applications’ have been received | from the following experienced buglers: F. Caskey and J. Console of National | Capital Post and P.

Harvey L. Miller of Front Line Post as candidate for the office of department commander at the annual election to be held in trict of Columbia Department, Veterans of Foreign Wars' home project, with the provision that proper restrictions be adopted to limit the sum to be appropri- ated for its maintenance and assuring its operation in a manner which would reflect credit on the District organiza- tion. It was also decided to secure a supply of overseas caps in Veterans of Foreign Wars colors in time for Me- morial da; Comrades Babcock and Brodie were reported in Mt. Alto and Walter Reed Hospitals, respectively. C. W. Burden has been transferred to the | Honolulu _Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Through these visitations mem- bers of the rank and file have been given an opportunity to become ac- quainted with departmental officers, and through their addresses become in- | formed of the activities of the legion in this city. Several recommendations affecting the hospitalization and care of disabled veterans of the World War were made at the annual Spring conference of the national rehabilitation committee of the American Legion held in Washington recently. The conference approved & proposal that all classes of veterans with service-connected disabilities, after receiving maximum benefit from hospi- talization, should be permitted to return to their homes under approved condi- tions and be granted added compensa- tion in an amount adequate to the proper support of themselves and their families. A consolidation of Federal agencies handling matters of veteran relief was also approved. Enactment by the vari- ous States of a uniform guardianship law in the interest of incompetent and insane veterans was urged. Resolutions were adopted relative to many matters of a highly technical character i ing the administrative and rating pro- cedure of the Veterans' Bureau. The general program for the construction of additional hospital facilities, as present- ed to Congress at the Winter session by the American Legion, was indorsed by the conference. ‘The conference was attended by rep- Tesentatives of 40 States, Watson B.

May 7—Edward Douglas White Post, €olonial Hotel, 8 p.m. Incident to the approaching depart- ment convention to be held in August, Department Comdr. Harlan Wood has appointed a convention committee to arrange all details in connection with this annual event. The committee was authorized at the last meeting of the department executive committee to se- lect the dates of the convenion during the week beginning August 12, and also a suitable hall for holding the con- vention. Last year the convention was held in the northeast section of the city, and there is a possibility that the convention will be held in & new sec- tion of the National Capital. The con- vention will cover a period of two and possibly run over into a third day. Prior to the opening of the convention on the first night, the Legionnaires of the District participate in a parade, headed by the two drum and bugle corps in the local department. The com- mittee in charge of the convention de- tails this year is composed of A. A. Cheney, chairman; Bernard S. Busch- er, vice chairman; Mrs. Lucille Allan, Warren E. Miller, Richard A. O'Brien, ‘Wallace Streater, Francis F. Miller, T. E. Jones and T. E. Franklin. In the national membership race for honors in the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary Co-operative Handicap, which closes May 18, the De- partment of the District of Columbia is still holding first honors, with the De- partment of Hawail, which won the Henry D. Lindsley Trophy, runner-up. The District percentage is 14549 of paid-up members this year, while Ha- wall has a percentage of 142.25. The Department of Wyoming is third with 97.08. Department of Indiana fourth with 9389 and the Department of Michigan fifth with a percentage of 92.43. Department Comdr. Harlan Wood is stressing the necessity of every mem- ber of this department putting forth every effort to increase the vid to the finish in order jo win this membhership race. Announcement of the winner will be made through the press of the coun- try on the afternoon of May 18, the same time that the winner of the fifty- fifth annual derby winner is announced at the Louisville race track. Legion- naires are urged to put applications of thelr wives, mothers, sisters and daugh- ters in the various auxiliary units of this depar ment, as every new member in the suxiliary is equal to ten in the Legion in this co-operative membership race. There are 52 departments com- peting for first honors, and while the District increased its lead by » small margin last week over Hawaii, Depart- ment Comdr. Wood and the members of his membership committee are de- sirous that there be no let up in the drive. One advantage which the Dis- trict has over Hawaii in this race is that the rules call for all membership cards and checks must be in the hands of the national treasurer at Indianapo- is, Ind., not later than 2 o'clock on the afternoon of May 18. In the race for the Lindsley Trophy the District led the fleld for weeks and at the finish the Department of Hawall came through with enough members to nose into first place and win the honor. " In the local feld of posts participat- ing In & membership campaign at the same time the national race is going on Victory Post is leading the fleld with a percentage of 114 paid-up members this year over last year, with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Post second with 90 per cent; Vincent B. Costello, third, 78 per cent; James E. Walker, fcurth, 76 per cent, and Kenneth H. Nash, fifth, with 66 per cent. Among the auxiliary units Kenneth H. Nash unit jumped out into first place last | week with a paid-up membership of 64 r cent; with George E. Killeen and | Vincent B. Costello units tie for second honors with 50 per cent each, and Henry C. Spengler unit next in line with 40 per cent, followed closely by James Reese Europe unit with 39 per cent. Department Adjut. Howard S. Fisk has been advised that the second an- nual memorial pligrimage to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, under the auspices of the Kings County committee, the American Legion Auxiliary, Brooklyn, department of New York, will take place this year May 23, 24 and 25.

Costello Unit, No. 15, has held two poppy meetings since the last business meeting. The first was April 23, in the District Building, and the second, April 29, at the home of Mrs. Reynolds, 1608 Q street. The next business meeting is to be held May 7, in room 402 District Building. Members are urged to attend. ‘The regular meeting of the George E. Killeen Unit, American Legion Auxili ary, will be held next Wednesday at 1750 Massachusetts avenue.

Lincoln Post, No. 17, the American Legion, met recently at the Betty Ann Inn, 1419 Park road, with Comdr. Ar- thur A. Chenay presiding. The depart- ment visitation committee, headed by Department Commander Harlan Wood and National Legislative Committeeman Paul McGahan, were present. The lat- ter two addressed the members on top- ics of interest to the membership of the Legion and Auxiliary. A committee was ap, gate the activities of tributing pamphlets among school chil- dren of Mount Pleasant which are said to_be un-American. New uniform caps were exhibited to the members, preparatory to placing an order to outfit the post. The Lincoln Post boys’ base ball team will take the field May 12 ready to meet all comers. Refreshments were served after adjournment at 10 p.m. The last of the 10,000,000 popples which the American public will wear on Memorial day in honor of the World War dead are being completed by dis- abled veterans in Government hospitals and convalescent workshops throughout the country. The unusually large de- mand for the memorial flowers this year will keep the disabled men busy to the last minute in filling orders, accord- ing to Mrs. Paul Akin, national poppy director of the American Legion Auxil- iary, which is sponsoring the poppy sale. By Memorial day the disabled vet- erans will have earned approximately $100,000 making popples, Mrs. Akin said. ‘The men are paid 1 cent each for the flowers they make, the money being vanced to them weekly by the Auxiliary, which also furnishes the materials. As all of the poppy-makers are men who receive little or no Government compen- sation, this money has'been the sole means of support for many of their families during the Winter and Spring. ‘The regular monthly meeting of the Belleau Wood Post, No. 3, the Ameri- can Legion, will be held today at 3 o'clock at the home of Gertrude T. Lowen, 329 Rhode Island avenue north- east. ‘The members will make popples which are to be used to decorate the graves at Arlington Cemetery on Me- morial day, and plans will be formu- lated to hold exercises at the graves of the comrades who are not buried in Arlington Cemetery. ‘The visitation of the department commander and his officers, which was to have been May 13, has been pos! | poned until some time in June, when | the U.

The District of Columbia department of the Disabled American Veterans is planning to travel to the ninth national convention at Detroit the last week in June with the delegations from Balti- more, Norfolk, Roanoke and Richmond. Und-r the national schedule the de- partment will be entitled to 10 votes on the floor at Detroit, and Ralph Cham- bers i3 in correspondence with the out- fits in Maryland and Virginia in order to have the largest possible party from this section travel together westwayd. The department here is now in the midst of a membership drive and last week witnessed the passing of the high mark of convention time a year ago in the number of disabled men in Wash- ington who carry D. A. V. cards. George W. Phillips is conducting the membership campaign from the depart- ment headquarters at 1427 H street, and he is of the opinion that not only will the total for the District be exceeded when the books close May 30, but that each of the four chapters here wiil have longer rolls than one year ago. ‘The annual convention of the District of Columbia department will be held in the District Building boardroom within the next month and slates are now being drawn while the chapters are pre- paring resolutions that will be presented to the department for approval and later carried by the delegation to Detroit. A detail, headed by State Comdr. Fred Kochli, will represent the D. A. V. at the mother's day observance at Arling- ton Cemetery next Sunday. Ear]l Hendrick®, new D. A. V. laison officer with headquarters at 1540 I street, is now visiting the diagnostic clinic at Mount Alto on Wisconsin avenue on regular schedule. This institution, which is one of the three diagnostic clinics maintained by the Veterans' Bureau, draws its patients from all sections of the East, and in | addition to the disabled men from | Washington, Hendricks handles the | cases of all men who come to Mount | Alto from other D). A. V. chapters east |of the Allegheny Mountains. Capt. Fred Kochli, Capt. Turner Lewis, Lieut. George Tilghman and Lieut. G. W. Phillips will be among the members of the D. A. V. from Washing- ton who will go to New York May 24 |and 25 to participate in the national convention of the Disabled Emergency | Officers’ Assoclation and observe the anniversary of the passage of the Tyson- | Fitzgerald retirement bill by a victory | dinner at the Astor Hotel. Michael Inselbuch of the Roosevelt | Hotel, adjutant of the Blind Chapter of the D. A. V,, has issued a statement | that a concert to be given at a Wash- ington hotel in the near future has no connection with his chapter, which is ths largest unit of World War men whose sight was destroyed. Despite the fs that congressional leaders are determined to restrict legis- lation largely to farm relief and tariff revision, national officials of the D. A. V. are still endeavoring to obtain enact- ment during the special session of the Rogers’ bill for additional hospital con- struction for the Veterans’ Bureau. Statistics have been prepared showing | the need for additional facilities for the care of mental and nervous cases among veterans and the D. A. V. is hopeful of | getting an exception to the congress- | fonal program and having action taken {on the bill which is being handled by | Congresswoman Edyth Rogers of Mas- sachusetts. | _One matter to be discussed at the Detroit convention of the D. A. V. that has a direct bearing on Washington is the proposal to have Congress authorize the organization of joint boards of the Department of Labor and the Veterans’ Bureau to handle the unemployment problem among former service men. The D. A. V. is asking that these joint boards function in each of the regional officer of the Veterans' Bureau ughout the country, claiming t they will not only lessen the unemploy ment problem, but assist in the placing of the disabled in work of such a clas as to lessen a result of the war dis abilities. This plan has the indorsement of the President’s commission, of which Con- | gresswoman Hamilton Fish, jr., of New | York has been chairman, ‘and it | expected that the D. A. V. natonal convention will consider ways and means of having these boards author- ized either through executive order or by action of Congress, Military Order World War. ‘The general staff of the Military Or- der of the World War recently met in | this city at the national headquarters and considered various phases of na- S TUDEBAKER leads the world in sales of eight-cylinder automobiles!
