Since then lie had been used on the street cleaning wagon.. Mr. Chas. It. Simmons, the genial pro- I prietor of the Royal hotel, is a firm : believer in the figure 13. Mr. Simmons sa>s that every job he ever had he begun work on the 13th of the month, that he was married on the 13th, every time he had sold a hotel or bought one the trade was made on that date and also that they were opened for business on the 13th. When he came to Lancaster he opened for business on the 13th and the first night lie had 13 guests. So if Mr. Simmons is ever "hoodooed" it will have to be on some other number than 13.

FOR ANTI-BONUS MAN Republicans Seek to Name Head of the * American Legion. Coming just before the November election, the American Legion national convention at New Orleans, October 1C-20, may prove u factor in the political nitration, it is bciicvcd in Washington. Campaign managers of the two major parties, and particularly the Republicans, will watch the convention closely for evidence as to the political j temper of the ex-soldiers. The party i lenders frankly wonder what the effect of 1'resident Harding's veto of tlie* bonus bill will be. Next to getting a line on the "political temper" of the legionaircs, Republic in leaders arc most interested | in the election of a new national com- 1 ma ruler t?> succeed Hanford MacNidcr. Supporters of the administration within the ranks of the convention delegates are now organizing for a determined attempt to secure election of an anti-bonus man.. If they can not elect a man who is actually opposed to the bonus they hope to at least get a commander who will not aggressively push the bonus question for the pi t sent and who will be more amenable to the contention of the administration that the country's finances arc in no shape to stand bonus drain at this time. The anti-bonus movement within the convention will undoubtedly fail according to the Washington view, hut if it should succeed it is felt tiiat political disintegration of the legion would be the result. The most important legislative proposal likely to come from the convcn lion this year ia Tor enactment of a universal jervicc act, providing automatic conscription of all classes?labor, industry and capital?in event of a future declaration (of war.
