Memorial to Late •American Legion
National Commander Is Dedicated
• at Cincinnati.
On the hills overlooking his boms
city, Cincinnati, stands s memorial to
Frederick W. (Jalbraith, decejt^eiTlna*
tlonal commander of tlie AmerR v an Le
gion—“killed In line-of duty.” r This
memorial takes the form of a parapet
on which is V bronze tablet., Behind
*re the ashes of the former Legion
head. It was erected by the veterans’
organisation and has become a na
tional shrine for Legionnaires. T -
Galbraith was killed as he sped by
automobile from Indianapolis, head
quarters .city, to Chicago, with Mijton
L Foreman, past national commander,
on theif ifray to face a great problem
for the veterans’ organization. It was
on such a mission' fraught with good
for hil? nation, that he met his end like
the brave soldier he was.
The tomb was formally dedicated by
National Commander John R. Quinn
on The occasion of his first public ap
pearance after Tils election. In his
address, he characterized the departed,
leader as the “spirit of the American
Legion.” Commander Quinn declared'
that to Galbraith and to the myrfkd
members of the Ueglon, the organiza
tion means tb* flesh and blood of
America's fighting men, the soul of
those who sleep on’Flanders' field and
In the depths of the ocean, and the
voice of four million who rallied to
their wuntry’s flag when it was en
danger^!.
The Legion leader said that the stim
ulation of the principles of American
ism. as sponsored by the beloved lead
er. Galbraith, could and would lead
the organization to greater heights for
the nation

SCOUT SAVES WOMAN’S
■ S . ?e
The first uses Mrs. M. E. Graves of
JauTHica, Long Island, made of, her
injured right hand as soon as ir wa»
sufficiently .healed to*serve her, was to
write her appreciation of a boy scout
who, through his prompt first aid, hhd
saved her from bleeding to death.
Mrs. Graves on the morning of the
accident, while engaging in preserving
fruit, came across a broken Jar, which
she threw into the - ash can. Some
time later as the fruit peelings piled—
upon the kitchen table, Mrs. Graves
gathered them up and hastened to dis
pose of them. With her thoughts in
tent upon her work, and forgetful of
the broken Jar, Mrs. Graves plunged '
her hands ipto the ash cun. Her right
hand struck the jagged glass which
Inflicted three cuts, and severed the
artery.
Horrified at the stream of blood
which came from the wounds, Mrs.
Graves ran to the telephone to call a
doctor. In her effort to make the call,
ahe became weakened from loss of
blood, and staggered to the door to
look for other a>*sl*tainoe.
At that moment 8«*>uit Michael

Arthur Williams turned away impa
tiently and went to his desk. But all
morning there came to him again and
again the memory of the conversation
and the look that had been on Clark
Winston’s face us he had voiced his
determination to make New Year re
solves. Each time the thought cjime

but somehow he found it hard to do.
For there had come to him, too, the
memory of a time fc'heu he, too, had
made such resolutions—wiien hyi, too,
had looked to the future with the Je-
alre deep within him to make himself
more worthy each day of tlie wo- inn

however, he was content to drift a’.ong
