Legion Approves Plan of Coolid^e for November 11 Commander Agrees That Em phasis on Peace Is Proper Spirit in Which to Cele brate Armistice Day. Washington, Nov. 7. — President Coolldge today made public a letter from James A. Drain, national com mander of the American Legion, who assured him that ‘‘your sentiments" as to the observance of Armistice day are the sentiments of the legion. Mr. Drain's letter was in reply to a communication from the president who suggested that the legion empha size the need of peace In Its Armistice day celebration. The legion desires peace, its com mander wrote and ‘‘strives for peace ' as Its opportunities for acquaint Inc Itself with “the alternative of peace have been exceptional.” Mr. Drain said the legion ‘‘is doing what It can to advance the day when armaments may be reduced and hopes that Its labors may help U hasten the time when a convention of the powers will be called to re duce all military establishments. But until that day does come the legion will insist that the United States takes steps of Its own to put war and the prospects of war more remote.” ‘ Urges Draft Dill. , ‘To this end." he continued, ‘‘the Jegion has long advocated and will press for enactment at the coming session of congress of what is pop ularly known as the universal draft Hll, which would plaee on all citizens tn equal obligati n in war by utiliza tion through the government of man power to fight, man power to work, factory power to produce, and money power to finance. This Is a peace kneasure because It places the bur dens of war equally upon all citizens, ft is a preparedness measure because It provides the nation with the means for defending Itself with a maximum bf efficiency and minimum of cost. ‘‘The legion believes there will never be lasting peuce until we have justice between nations, and that this means the erection of some form of Auto Big Factor In Immorality Among Students, Dean Warns By International Nrwi Service. Urbana. 111., Nov. 7.—The old one about the camel and the needle's eye was dusted off here today and made applicable to the college student own lng an automobile and his chances ot uprightness and progress. “The automobile—the modern satan." might have been the caption of the letter pent out by Thomas Arkle Clark, dean of men at the Uni versity of Illinois, to parents of all students owning automobiles. The letter indicted the automobile as a "waster of time and money, an encourager of loafing and Immorality and a factor in poor scholastic stand ing.” "Whatever of drinking and stealing and sexual immorality exists among college students is largely in con nectlon with the automobile,” the let ter reads. "The passion for driving seems often to stimulate other pas sions and unconventionalities and actual immorality often results. "Youth is perhaps no more respon sible than it always has been, but the automobile is an unnecessary evil and on added temptation to loaiing and moral irresponsibility." The letter points out that the uni versity has made no regulations about student-owned automobiles and does not wish to do so, but it calls upon parents for co-operation. Recently several college fraternities passed rules regulating the use of automobiles owned by members. The majority of these specify that ma clones can be used only on week ends and college holidays or for actual business purposes. competent world court. It will put forth all efforts to attain this. Must Maintain Navy. “Until an International concord Is attained for the reduction of arma ments and adjudication of controver sies on the principles of justice, the United States must maintain the navy the equal of any in the world, a small but competent army capable of quick expansion, adequate air forces, a national guard and ade quate reserve forces for air, land and sea duty. Furthermore, industry must bo kept currently informed and prepared in peaco time for its emer gency obligations. "The legion will emphasize on Armistice day the substance of your words that 'humanity has more reasons for unity than for discord.' ” MAIL BRIDE BIG COST TO MAN, 70 David N.

BURGESS. Th# Ignorant will noon expose The little that he really knowa —Chatterer the Red Squirrel Chatterer’* Queer Harvest. Peter Rabbit peeked and npled and spied and peeked, trying to find out what Chatterer the Red Squirrel was doing with the mushrooms he gathered. Chatterer moves so qulekly that he is not easy to follow. But at last Peter dlocovered that Chatterer was climbing a certain tree with Ufa* \ He ran up on the trunk, and then out on a branch. those mushrooms and coming down without them. Now that tree didn't look as If It could be hollow Peter was sure that It wasn't hollow. If It wasn't hollow, where did Chatter er put those mushrooms? Peter crept around to where he could watch better. Presently Chat terer came running to the tree with a big mushroom in his mouth. He ran up the trunk, then out on a branch and carefully put the mushroom be twren two twigs where they forked and where they would hold that mushroom. Then Peter saw that there were other mushrooms there, and that there were mushrooms held in the same way on other branches. They were not very high above the ground. ■'That's a queer way of storing up those mushrooms," thought Peter. "They are not hidden at all. And what a lot of them! How can he ever expect to eat all those before they spoil? I thought Chatterer had sense, but I am beginning to doubt it. No one with sense would spend his time gathering a lot of food Just to spoil." Peter hopped out to where Chat terer was hunting for more mush rooms. "If," said Peter, "I were fool ish enough to work as hard as you do I certainly wouldn’t waste my time gathering a lot of things that are bound to spoil. I thought you had more sense than that. Chatterer." ''Who says I am gathering a lot of food that Is bound to spoil?" demand ed Chatterer angerily. "I do," retorted Peter. "Every body knows that mushrooms don't last any time at all.” "Is that so?” retorted Chatterer. “Then I know more than everybody knows. When you are running your legs off In the middle of the winter trying to find enough food to keep alive, I shall be feasting on mush rooms. My, it makes my mouth water now Just to think of it!" Peter began to laugh. “Do you mean to tell me that you think those mushrooms are going to keep up Uiere in that tree where you put tfcem?” he demanded. 1 "No, I don’t mean to tell you any thing of the kind," snapped Chatter er. "Those mushrooms will he stored away in my driest, safest storehouse." "Then what Is the idea of putting them up in that tree?” demanded Peter. "To dry, stupid! to dry!" retorted Chatterer. "Mushrooms properly dried will keep until next spring if I want to keep them that long. When those mushrooms have dried out Just right I’ll store them away. Then in the winter while you are going hungry I will be feasting. Ha! Just look at that big mushroom over there!" Chatterer whisked over to it. picked it and haced away to the tree where the other mushrooms were hung to dry. Peter looked foolish. He scratched a long ear with a long hind foot. "I wonder If it r’.n be true." said h».' It was true as Peter found out in the winter, when he one day ran across Chatterer eating one of those very mushrooms. (Coovrisht. 1924.)
