AMERICA’S LEGION This community, like every other, has its contingent of American Legionnaires. | Nearly a score of years ago they returned i triumphant from the Great War and be- | came citizens to whom we _ point with | pride. Today we can look upon them | doubly proud because the American Legion | has demonstrated itself as typifying the | true spirit'of Americanism upon which! this nation was founded. { In New York City recently some 300,- | 000 Legionnaires paraded that spirit up| fabulous Fifth avenue for 18 hours in the ; fashionable thoroughfare—scene of May | Day parades when the red flag of Com-| munism is flaunted and where the flags | and soap box champions of other “isms” beg attention and followers—the Amer- | ican Legion paraded the American flag | and demonstrated to the millions who lined | the avenue that there is still a deep | patriotic reverence for that flag and the | Constitutional rights of every one of this | nation’s 130 million citizens, In convention the legion delegates did | not ponder political and partisan issues | but voted on matters of far greater na-!} tional import. They voted to ask Congress | for an investigation and deportation of those alien “ism” groups and they re- affirmed their faith in the Bill of Rights: as a living document designed for the pro-! tection of the humblest citizen. { This community is fortunate to have! among its citizens a number of these true Americans—the Legionnaires. However, it is regrettable that the legion’s. gigantic Se have | yy, parade up Fifth avenue could not been made the entire length of the Lincoln Highway. Had this been possible, there would not be a man, woman or growing | youth in America today who would not | feel reassured that there is a strong patriotic ferver for defense of individua) liberty. CONVERSATION TOPICS Investigators classified 500 conversa- tions overheard in public places to find out just what men and women talk about, in Cleveland and New York. They found that the subjects varied little in the two cities. Men’s conversations were 48 per cent | ‘about business, 15 per cent about sports and amusements, 12 per cent about other men, these being the most frequent topi Conversations of women were most frequently about men, this topic showing great variation in the two cities, 22 per cent in New York. Clothes were the sub- | ject of 20 per cent and other women 15) per cent. { In Mixed company, men talked most to women about amusements, next of business and money. Women conversed with men about themselves and other women, It is likely that at times when some matter of unusual interest is up for discus- sion, such as the Lindbergh case, King Ed- ward’s romance, or something of the sort, both men and women talk about what is uppermost in the public mind. Otherwise, the topics named by the investigators are probably most discussed. At any rate their findings are inter- esting. What do you talk about? ITALY JOINS "EM Surprised at the sudden speed of Great Britain and France in setting up an anti-pirate patrol in the Mediterranean and faced with the choice of cooperating or waging war in the “Italian sea” Mus- solini has decided to join forces and save his face. j That the two great democracies were | able to act with dispatch and make effec- ‘tive their determination to protect com-} merce fromj unlawful attacks is an evi- | Wee QF power that they possess and | an indicatiop that the rule of the dictators ‘ all forces. guropean. sources comes an, inkling that?the Italians are planning to} end new troops to Spain in order to offset | the diplomatic defeat over the u-boat | patrol.
