LEGIONNAIRES AID
VETERANS OF 1864
The ’things that will or will not
make good news copy vary greatly
with the passing of the years. An
nouncement that the Fnlon Veteran
Legion would hold Its annual national
convention some time In September In
Altoona, Pa., made only a hare Inch
of newspaper copy. “And who, and
what, is the Union Veteran Legion
anyway, that they should be given
even an inek-of-space In the newspa
pers? I don’t recollect ever having
heard of them," you say. Which Is
rather surprising, for at one time in
the nation’s history the Union Veteran
Legion was making column after col
umn of breathless copy. Sherman’s
march to the sea made good copy in
those days—first-page stuff that was
avidly read hy a grateful populace.
But that was more than a half cen
tury ago and news values change and
the makers of much of that copy, the
Union Veteran Legion, are dropped
from the first page entirely and get
only a skimpy Inch on an inside sheet.
However, there are those in these
United States who read the newspa
pers rather carefully, among them the
American Legion, and the bare Inch
of copy concerning the proposed na
tional convention of the Union Vet
eran Legion was sufficient to catch
the eye of American Legionnaires of
Altoona and Interest them to such jin
extent that a committee was Imme
diately appointed to aid the Unton
Veteran Legion In preparing for their
national convention. In . appointing
the committee to help the Union Vet
eran I/eglon with their convention, the
American Legion was motivated by
the following facts:
To he a member of the Union Vet
eran Legion one must have been i
volunteer and have served not less
than three years In the Civil war
Most of the surviving members of the
organization are very old, and the
toll, hnrassments and uncertainty ol
preparing for a national convention
would he a severe strain upon the
strength of the veterans of ’04. So

venerable comrades to enable them to

Widow in Need of Aid
A widow of Ohio who had two sons
in the service, one having died In
service and one since us a result of
service, held two compensation checks
received by her son but not indorsed
by him before his death. The burial
expenses for her son amounted to
more than $500. She needed cash. Her

If, after his death, she needed advice
and assistance to go to the American
Legion. She did. Through the agency
of the American Legion the Probate
court was prevailed upon to execute
administration papers at a cost of $20
1 less than In usyml cases and the much-
neCded checks were redrawn In favor
of the widow. Claim was made hy the
service department of the Legion for
death compensation Tor the widow and
In less than three weeks the claim was
allowed by the bureau and the widow
granted a death compensation of $25
a month until 1937.
Takes Rap at Wealthy
Women Who Seek Honor
If bachelors of the Legion could
only figure out some way to induce
rich American heiresses to heed the
words of Gov. Pat M. Neff of Texas
when he addressed the sixth annual
convention of the Texas department
of the Legion, they would, as the say
ing goes, “he sitting pretty.” Gov
ernor Neff sympathized as follows:
“I have no patience and very little
respect for those wealthy American
daughters who are willing to trade
their wealth to an empty European
title. If I were an American girl I
would rather he the wife of an Amer
ican Legionnaire, though of humblg
means, than the wife of ■ silly duke
with no other claim than that he Is
the son of some queen and lives
among the pictures of a forgotten
past.”

dirigible, the Shenandoah, started on a

west to Fort Worth, Tex., for her first

from there Is up the Pacific coast to

In a bulletin read before the officer*
and men of the Thirty-eighth division

H. Tyndall, national treasurer of the

preciation to the men of his command
for their efficient and enthusiastic co
operation In the recent field maneuv
