WHERE TOMMY MADE A POINT
Remarkable That School Teacher Had
Never Noticed That Quite Simple
. Truth Before.
Arithmetic, according to the average
mall boy, was simply Invented In or
der to give teachers u good excuse for
punishing thi-Ir unluTppy' pupils. Ami
certainly little Tommy Smith found It
,ue unpleasant feature of his young
life.
"Now, Tommy Smith," snld the
school teacher one morning, during the
usunl hour of torture, "whut 1b the
hnlf of eight?"
"Wlfielt way, teacher?" asked the
youngster cautiously.
"Which way!" replied the aston
ished lady. "What do you mean?"
"Well, on top or sideways, tench
er?" said Tommy.
"Whnt difference does that make?"
"Why," Tommy explnlned, with a
pitying nlr, "half on" the top of eight
Ih nought, hut half of it sideways Is
three." London Answers.

AMERICAN LEGION NOW HAS THE DEPARTMENT OF PANAMA
Scene on the Itland of Taboga, Where the Department of Panama Hc.'d lu
Recent Convention.
Sixteen years ago when President
Itnoscveli called on the ni"ii of Amur
lea to enlist In the great adventure of
cutting u wntcrwa from ocean to
ocean through the Isthmus of Panama
that the strength of the American
licet might not be divided by a voyage
of weeks fiom the east to the west
coast lliere were thousands of volun
teers who answered his call. To Pan
ama they went and built the great
canal, lighting all the time ngniiist per
petual heat, almost perpetual rain,
fevers ami all the pests of the tropics.
Many of them gave up the .struggle
and returned homo but others stayed
until the great dream came true. And
they are there yet In that far-llung
outpost of America by the locks that
me lapped by the waters of two
oceans.
Again In April. 1017, came a call to
duty n summons to whr ami that
call was not unheard at the canal.
One by one men and women dropped
out of the .shops and olllces and
donned the army khaki and the navy
blue or the modest cap ami cape of
the army nurse corps until on Novem
ber 11, 1!)IS, the dny of the armistice,
there were approximately ,100 Canal
men and women In uniform.
They saw service lu all branches of
American arms. They were on land
and sea, In the air ami tinder the wa
ter. They were a versatile people and
they were lighters as their building of
the canal had proved. They came bnck
with almost every medal and decora
tion of the war, Including citations
from the l'rench, British and the other
allies
lu September of last year several of
tlie-i lighters met to form a post of
the American Legion. One had re
ccntl been an aviator In I'rance, nu
mber as a lieutenant of engineers
bad done things In No Man's Land
that high British ollicers said were Im
possible. A third, after many months
of volunteer ambulance driving before
America enteied the war, had enlist
ed In the French nrtlllery nnd had
ended as a lieutenant. This tlrst post
was Immediately followed by a .sec
ond and the creation of the depart
ment of Panamii of the American Le
gion witli headipiarters at Cristobal.
The llrsl convention of the depart
ment was held recently on the Island
of Tabogii, V2 miles from the main
laud of the Isthmus of Panama and In
sight of the spot where lu lfil.'t Vnsco
Nunoz de Balboa discovered the Pa
cific ocean. At this convention Klbort
S. Wald was elected department com
mander and Kdward J. Dally, depart
ment adjutant for the coining year.
These olllces previously had been held
by Conylngham Patterson and Her
bert Pearson, respectively. Arrange
ments were also made to have the
Pnnnma department represented at
the Cle eland convention.
SHALL GIRLS BE ADMITTED?
Membership Question Looms Before
Officials of Legion Some "Y"
Workers Present Claims.
A recurring question before the olll
clals of the American Legion Is that
of eligibility to membership. .lust
where is the line to he drawn? Shall,
for Inst mice, those "little sisters of the
army." the "Y" girls, bo ndnrfjtcd to
full membership?
Although at present they stjind with
out the pale there are some who be
lieve they should be taken In. Some
of the girls themselves have very
modestl presented their claims. The
following Is an excerpt from a letter
from Miss Snllle Lou Massey of Meri
dian. Miss., to the national com-1
mnndcr:
"1 am Just one of hundreds of 'Y'
girls at home now, wearing pretty
clothes which don't seem iqulte right
nt'ter having worn the uniform. In j
France we cooked, kept house, handed I
out magazines and papers and danced

MEDAL OF HONOR SAVED HIM
New Jersey Legion Member Escapes
Jail Sentence by Display of
His Emblem.
Sentimental considerations left nut
of the reckoning, Frank Sadowskl, an
American Legion member of Newark,
N. J found out the other day that a
Congrewlonnl Medal of Honor Is a
handy thing to have.
Sadowskl works In tho day time nnd
bleeps at nlg'ht. That Is, ho had been
sleeping of nights until a couple of
loving cnts began a noisy courtship on
his back fence. Sadowskl stood It as
long as ho could and then went down
In his old barracks ling and dragged
out tho trusty automatic ho carried In
France. The cats became casualties
and Sadow&kl became a prisoner of
the Inw nnd was hailed Into court ,
clmrgud with disturbing tho pence.
The evidence was all against him
nnd he "was nbout to bo sentenced
when, Inndvertently, ho mentioned
that ho onco killed six Hermans sin
gle) handed nnd captured their mnchluo
gun with tho snmo revolver with which
ho routed the yowling cjits. For this
fent ho won America's highest wnr
honor, nnjl a string of leswor medals.
He produced the medals as proof and
tho Judge let him off.

COMMON ERROR IN GRAMMAR
Words "Begun" and. "Began" Are
Wrongly Used by Those Careless
In Their Speech.
It Is quite common to hear home
one Miy, "I begun to do that work
justcrdny," "the battle begun between
the two armies," etc. This use of
"begun" to express the past tene
(sometimes called the preterit) of
"begin" Is not Incorrect, according to
some authorities on the uses of words,
but there Is u fairly general agree
ment that the better word to u:e Is
"began.''' If you wish to safeguard
youtself against possible criticism, say
"I began to do that work yesterday,"
"The battle began between the two
armies," etc., not "begun."
Hlchard Grand White, In "Words
nnd Their Uses," n high nuthorlty,
criticises and condemns the use of
"begun" Instead of "began" to express
the past.
Of course. It Is Incorrect beyond any
doubt to say, "I have began" to ex
press the perfect tense of "begin."
