V V VV \ VV A Soldier Promoted John Lomax is one of those birds from the navy who objects to giving the army all the credit for winning the late war. John says the sailors 4id some of the winning and that they ought to have some of the at tention now that its all over. He insisted that the soldier, who has Iteen standing in the J-??gion window ap town for the last week, should be promoted and turned into a sailor. To the old army men, that was not cnuch of a promotion. However, the man-in-the-window has changed his mniform from khaki to blue and some of our most hardboiled ex officers readily admit that the old seageant makes a pretty good sail ?r and that he is still a good adver tisement for the Legion. A FaM? Once upon a time there lived a citizen of the United States. An in ternational conflagration known as tiie World War involved his coun try. He could not go to the war, %nt throughout the conflict this man kept his living expenses down to ?0 cents a day. He allowed himself, in addition, $30 a month for such luxuries as tobacco, Liberty Bonds, 1% insurance and support of depend |l. ' mts. The rest of his income he gave to the government. If oral: He is the only man in the 7 world who has the right to call ad justed compensation "the "bonus."? American Legion Weekly.

ME EXACT RETURNS WILL NOT BE KNOWN FOR WEEK OFFI CIALS BELIEVE THAT NINE TENTHS OF WORKERS FA VOR WALKOUT Indianapolis, March 11.?The strike vote of soft coal miners was n< completed tonight by local unions scattered throughout the country and though the exact returns will not be known for a week officials of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica here believed that nine-tenths or more of the workers cast their bal lots for a walk out on April 1 unless new wage agreement is made in th% meantime. "Chances of getting a wage con ference with the operators of the central competitive fields, compris ing western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana and Illinois, seemed remote to the union chiefs for no change in the attitude of operators offering in interstate conference resulted from the appeal of Secretary of La Dor Davis for the two sides getting together. The only possibility of a conference as viewed by union offi cials was for the government calling 30th operators and miners to Wash norhnn ihnt no one a* union head quarters had any information that rnch a call was contemplated by ad ministration officials. What may happen in th& Penn sylvania anthracite fields depends on the outcome of the meeting between anion officials and pperators at New STork next Wednesday. To the ex tent only of having arranged for a joint conference is the strike situa tion in the soft and hard coal fields different though no referendum vote was cast by the anthracite miners, rheir convention, however, declared for a suspension in the event a new wage agreement did not provide for wage advances. In the soft coal iields the miners ask the retention if their present basic wage scales. The international executive board >f the union ended a four day meeting here today with the an nouncement that its last day's work ivas purely routine business. Ne consideration was given the strike situation, members said, adding that ill questions relating to the strike were for the policy committee, which has not yet been called. President John L. Lewis said no iate for the policy committee meet ing has been set. Tabulation of the strike vote will begin next Thursday rhough the vote may be overwhelm ingly in favor of the strike, it is not lecesarily final for the policy com nittee has broad authority for deal ng with any emergency question iiat may arise in connection with he strike. However, the union offi cials have not manifested any in ention of offsetting the strike in ab lence of any conference with the >perators. i/\i\ i riv/iu-viu/ jL/i? 11/c.j 50-50 WITH HER MOTHER New York, Mar. 2.?Mary Piekford ;oes fifty-fifty with her mother on verything she earns. This testimony was given today by Irs.
