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.
A record for service to America that
dates from Revolutionary days und
includes the
deeds of Nn
tlianicl Green and
Daniel Boone, Is
perpetuated i n
Mrs. E. 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. She
made a record of thirty addresses in
one week during a Red Cross drive.
She sold Liberty bonds, organized Red
Cross units and did active canteen
work.
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. Mrs.
Murray plans to obtain a unit for
each of the 201 posts of the Legion in
Texas.
Mrs. Murray was born In Concordia
Parish, La. Both her father and
mother came of old Revolutionary
stock. Ilcr mother's paternal ancestor
was a neat; kinsman of Daniel Boone;
her father's, paternal ancestor was
a descendant of Nathaniel Greene.
During the Civil War her father served
as a captain of cavalry In Forrest's
Brigade.
PAY TRIBUTE TO THEIR DEAD
Minnesota Legionnaires Pay Homage
to Deceased Buddies Who Fought
for Their Country.
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.
The body of Ralph Oracle, after
whom Bemldjl post Is named, was
burled ut his home town with honors.
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."

Fraternity the Great Need.
It was Victor Hugo who conceived
this thought: "The true reslstnnco of
man against catastrophes Is an aug
mentation of humanity. Love one an
other, nld ono another. Solidarity of
men Is the retort to complicity of mys
terious facts. It Is thus that is estab
lished on earth the third term, of the
grand human formula, frntcrnlty. Gov
ernments put obstacles In the vyny of
liberty and equality, they will come In
their time, in spite of the monarchy;
equality In spite of the aristocracy.
But fraternity Is tho opening door, the
emptying purse, tho Helping hnnd.".

many articles that today havo been discarded, as you will readily admit.
Do you recall anything that has more modestly appealed to th
public than has Fletcher's Castoria: modest in all its claims, pleading
at aU times and truthfully for our babies?
The big splurg, the misleading claims may win for a time, but
the honest truth-telling advertiser is like the old story of the tortoise
that beat the hare.
pothers everywhere, and their daughters, now mothers, speak
frankly, glowingly, enthusiastically in praise of Fletcher's Castoria.
Speak of it lovingly as a friend that has brought comfort, cheer and
smiles to their little-one.
To them: to these true mothers no argument can induce them
to set asido their b'ottle of Castoria, their old friend, that they might
try even another and unknown remedy for babies. Then, would YOU
think of going to YOUR OWN medicine chest to find relief for Baby's
