Eleven commandments In "reverse English" have been found useful by William Q. Setllffe, frtate adjutant of the American Legion In Illinois, In building up the Legion's program for that state. They are as follows: 1. Don't nttend meetings If It rnlns. You might got your feet wet, nnd you uro not In the physical condition you wero nt the cantonments, or nt Brest. 2. Don't think of going If It is n warm, moonlight night. There are lots of other things you could do thnt sort of a night. F'r Instnnct Oh, roll your own Idea. .'I. If you should attend n meeting, find fault with everything that's go ing on. If your ofllcers nre showing pep, demand to know In open meeting what political offices they Intend run ning for. 4. Never accept an office In the pot. Moit otllces have duties connected with them, and It Is much easier to criticize the way the other fellow Is trying to handle the Job. fi. Get sore nt the orgnnlzatloo If you are not appointed on a committee. (I. It you are nppolnted, don t both er about attending the committee meetings. They often are a bore. 7. During discussion of a motion keep still. After It has passed, tell some one why they should have voted It down. 8. Forgot to pay your dues. Tho post can get nlong awhile longer with out your contribution. 1). Don't try to get new members. George will do It. 10. Don't tlo any work on post af fairs, or any more than Is absolutely necessary. When other members roll up their sleeves and give unselfishly or ther time nnd ability to help things along, get up on your hind legs and howl Hint the post Is being run by a clique. 11. Kemember, you owe no duty or obligation to a sick or disabled buddy youi own personnl comfort comes first. DOCTOR IS DEPT. COMMANDER Ira L. Parsons, M.
