LEGION MAN DISPLAYS NERVE Airplane Fighter Takes to Coal Cars to Reach Vocational Tramlng School. There's no striking similarity be tween piloting a highflying alrplano. of the Marine Corps to riding In the coal cars of ii freight train. But between these modes of travel, Thomas D. Lane, Junior law student at the University of Kansas, will com plete his educa tion. Lane, a (mem ber of the Argonne post of the American Legion at St. Paul, Minn., was attending school in the Kansas university when his money ran out. A letter forwarded to him from his native state told of tho work of the Federal Board for Vocational, Education In Minneapolis. Thrdugh disability incident to his service as a flyer, he was entitled to the Federal educational aid. Without sufficient funds to make the long trip, nevertheless he set out to appear be fore the board. Three days in n box car, a coal gondola and the tenders of three passenger trains conveyed him to his destination. Several fast changes of cars, unusual maneuvers and debates with trainmen were necessary, but the aviator came through smiling. Ono mall clerk proved frlenftly, but that train was bound for Chicago. After two more trials he found a bunk on some coal and woke up tho next morning in the St, Paul yards. Placing his case before the board, he was classed "Section One," en titling him to tuition, supplies and training pay until he completes his course. MAKES DRIVE FOR AUXILIARY President of Texas Organization Shows That She Comes From Fighting Stock.

Clinton Murray, of llbus ton, Tex presl dent of the Women's Auxili ary of the Ameri can Legion of that state. The first unit of the Auxiliary of the American Legion was founded there. When her husband, who was past the age limit, was accepted by the Medical Corps during the World war, Mrs. Murray likewise volunteered.

The Women's Auxiliary was organiz ed nationally in Austin, Tex., July' 20, 1010. Mrs. Murray was one of tho first women to organize n unit In Houston In March 1020. When she became state president, there were twenty-three units in the department. Under her direction, thirty additional units have been formed and fifty others are now organizing.

In a Uttle cemetery among the pines where sleep the members of his family at Cloquet, Minn., the body of John De Foe, the first Minnesota Indian sol dier to die fighting for his country, was laid to rest. 'Carl Anderson post of the American Legion paid homage at his funeral. . Elsewhere through Minnesotn, Le glonires have been paying tribute at the funerals of their dead buddies, whose bodies are being returned from overseas. "He was a clean-cut American, one of our very best, and his memory will be dear and sacred," said tho com mander of Winnebago post, at the fun eral servlco of Private Vernon Bailey, In which fifty uniformed Legionnaires took part.

ADDS TO LEGION'S STRENGTH Commander of Minnesota Department Has Way of Doing Things That Qats Results. Under the direction Vernon, commander of sotn of A. n. the Mlnne depnrtment of the American Legion, that state has become one of tho strongest Legion depart ments In tho country. Commander Vernon's theory is that success comes to the Le- Af. H gton In proportion gives to. Its mem bers and to the state. In carrying out this policy he has built up a Legion Service bureau which handles ono thousand ex-service claims a month and a department branch of the American Legion News Service. Early In 1021, when the Federal board for vocational education pre pared to send representatives tq six teen centers In the state to examine disabled veterans, the authorities were handicapped by n lack, of pub licity. Commander Vernon prepared twenty thousand large posters and placed them on every billboard In the state. This was supplemented with Information to every newspaper In re gard to where every disabled man should report to receive compensation, vocational training and medical treat ment. , When an unexpected number of veterans enlisted for vocatldnal train ing. Mr. Vernon appealed to 20,000 business men to place the men In their establishments. Tho merchants nnd manufacturers responded with u good 'will and all the vocational students were placed to good advantage. MERITED TRIBUTE TO LEGION Leslie's Weekly Editorially Honors Brave Men Who Jferved In the World War. "The American Legion begins to look like a full-page composite photograph of biographic Americanism from Put nam to Pershing," reads a recent ed itorial in Leslie's Weekly. "It moves with the -weight of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic'" and tho levity of "Yankee Doodle," with u ululnnt yell from "Dixie." Its large composition Is a token of great trust, and the old Roman legions, and other legions of time, begin to look like pop-guns. It neither tries to roar with a lion's heart, nor win a woman's quite different from the pomaded mustaches of Pots dam. Its manners are quiet ;'ltsraem ory la excellent; Its emotion's nre strong, art it Is prepared to roll aV the refractory elements In one bundle and hang them on one hook. "Without n proclamation,- an agita tion or unloosing a pack of schemes, It has created a civil prestige to match its military splendor. Old soldiers of all ages and all lands nre prone to harp on one string, but the tramp of the Legion Is In time and tune with all the chords of throbbing life. It is not mprely handsome clay In uniform; but sinewed In manhood from Its toes to Its brains. It has that delightful mixture of sense and spirit, of power nnd chivalry, of shop and farm, which tickles the popular taste. It neither bleats over Its woes nor boasts of Us prowess. ,(Vhen the mighty military machine dissolved In our citizenship the frag ments coalesced through the sym pathetic ottractlon of a high purpose for In defending the institutions of Americn the Legion Iparned how to value them. Thus It possesses a moral prerogative to tread down lurking dls Ioyalty. We are proud to be the fath ers and mothers, cousins and aunts of the Legion. We shall sle.ep sound at nights. And when the historian winds up the task of glory-painting Its bat tles we trust that he will use a golden drop of ink in stating that congress denlt n belated, but a glad and gener ous, bonus." FATHER M0RAN AIDS LEGION Former Army Chaplain Assists In Ob taining Armistice Day Leglsla . tlon In Minnesota. When Legion the state Minnesotn American legislative commit tee at tho open ing of tho state legislature ap pointed sub-com mittees to pilot Its various, bills through the house and senate, Father D.
