The largest organization, the Legion, | says that politics must not be in- dulged in to the extent that if a person held a paid public office, he could not be an officer of the Le- gion. Politics is frowned upon in the American Legion. Many good members have been forced to resign from an executive position just be- | cause they happened to take a paid office. Politicians know that a pop- ular Legionnaire, who has good in ex-servicemen's would have a strong influence with the voters, and draft him for a po- litical office.

The customer drained the glass and smacked his lips over the concoction, Still he sat there. “Let's have a little chaser of that same stuff.” he whispered across the marble #lab, and had to repeat twice before the clerk heard him.
