Some of the schemes, according to . the promoters’ visions, would net the | Legion sums as high as $10,000. Few suggested that the Legion would come out less than $5,000 ahead. Proposals Mostly Dreams. | “But,” Steve Kriwanek, chairman of the committee, said, “most of them were dreams. They all had a scheme | that would make a lot of money, but none had any money of their own to start with.” | One genius proposed that the Le- | « gion print 100,000 copies of a poem he had composed.

Then. when the Legionnaires came to town, he would set up booths and register 3.000 of them—also at $2 each. The pro- m then p! nsed shuffling the registration car pairing off the men and women and everybody would be happy, the Legion with a $6.000 profit and he with his “50-50" share of $6,000.
