A new type of Valentine this year was the voice across the At- lantlc as Anglo-American lovers, who could afford it, exchanged greetings of “Hello, swectheart. Guess who it is.” Radio tele- phony proved the most popular means of exchange of love greet- ings between England and Amer- fca this vear. Almost dead for the past 30 years, Valentine's Day was reviv- ed in England today as a “leap year” event. Where the English youth formerly sought the most choico verses of love for his sweetheart, the fair sex is now the best customer of posteard stalls on Valentine's Day.

The complaint was made in the equity session of superior court by Robert A. Adams, national judge ocate, with Leo M. Harlow and Francis J. Goode, former depa.t- ment commanders, and James A. Donovan of Lawrence, department judge advocate, as associated coun- sel. It was set forth by the Legion that it had chartered 29 ships for the trip to France, had advertised cxtensively and had made plans for the greatest single excursion of its kind in history. The bill declared that the plaintiff was given the sole right to use the name. the American Legion, by act of congress and that its omblem, appearing on the button, was patented. It further recited that at a meet- representatives of travel agencies in New York last May the Legion explained its plan to handle all transportation and housing commodations for and that it was voted by the meet- ing to give the Legion complete co- cperation, The defendant was repre- sented at the meeting and made 10 ohjection, it was said The Legion now charges Marsters, which has offices in Bos- York, has advertised a tour to coincide with the Paris using the emblem, the Ameri- ks a per- m:\nnm injunction against all of | these and damages for resulting 1.<< nflm the alleged violation of the agreement. The importance of the suit, ac- | cording to attorneys for the Legion, lies not only in the competition of- fered by the Marsters but in the fact that if the agency is sustained by the court the way would be «pen ior i competitors which would seriously jeopardize the name, and the slogans of th the convention | that | contracts | as boys and girls have done ce the | seology of |world hegan and will until the end | g of time.
