To accomplish this, a nationwide drive will be launched from local posts in every city and town in the country on March 20, and employers and buainesa men will be called into conference to deviae ways and means of creating Jobs and putting an end to a situation which Hanford MacNlder, Legion com mander has called the "greatest crisis in the Legion’s history.” Civic organizations from Maine to California have been asked to swing into line to back, up the Legion and make a concerted effort-which will be felt in all sections of the country. By stimulating Industry, by pushing engineering projects end municipal development, by speeding up public utility enterprises, road building, paving, dredging, truck gardening, reforestation and reclamatipn, and by encouraging the “back to the farm” movement, the Legion hopes to break the labor slump which has kept wor thy men out of work and caused widespread distress. Each city will be divided into regions, each under its own post and employment commit tee. with a general committee coor dinating the efforts of all.

Thirty-six thousand questionnaires were sent out last week by state headquarters of the American Legion of Oregon to the 110 posts in the state, preparatory to the clean-up drive which will start March 20. The questionalrss ask for information from the veteran aa to any disabil ities existing In connection with his service in the world war. It also seeks to determine whether the vet eran is due any travel pay. allot ments. back pay, insurance for de ceased veteran, etc.. Incidental to his service in the military or naval forces. Other questions which the veteran will answer will shape the policy of the legion on matters of im portance. Personal canvass will be started by the posts of the Legion.

Bonus Facts All Initial applications must be filed with the commission before May 25. regardless of whether applicant wishes the cash bonus or the loan. The initial application establishes the eligibility of the applicant to re ceive either the cash bonus or the loan. In this application the appli cant states which option he prefers. If he wants the loan he states how much he will want, when he will want It, and the class of properly he will offer as security. The answers to these questions are not binding, and are desired only as information for the commission to enable them to fix the time and amount of future bond iaauea. The commiaelon now has six clerks checking initial applications. In ad dition they have one clerk employed in the naval office at Seattle and one In the war department at Washing ton, D. C., to obtain service records of applicants. These records were formerly sup plied by the war and navy depart ments, but this was discontinued re cently on account of exhausted ap propriations. Rather than delay the passage of bonus claims, the commis sion has incurred the extra expense In obtaining these records. It is ex pected that the entire machinery for checking initial applications will be dispensed with soon after June 1. After eligibility 1 b once established there is no time limit under the law for filing applicatioas for loans. ----------o-------- - LOCAL DEALER EXPOSES SOME BATTERY ~FA1TF.fi Salvaged batteries are the latest menace to qiotorists. G. W. Wells, local distributor for Westingbouae batteries In a statement made last night exposed a scheme which he says is national in scope to extract money from motorist’s pockets by selling salvaged batteries made from parts of discarded ones under the representation that they are new and for prices only a little below the mar ket price of standard batteries. “The scheme while old In funda mental principles, is new applied to automobile batteries," Mr. Wells said "and it thratens to become a serious problem to dealers in automobile sup plies who are trying to give the buying public full value for money received.” According to Mr. Welle, the sal vaged battery concerns buy up all the used and discarded batteries they can find, take from them the parts that are still usable, add to them what new parts are necessary and sell them in freshly painted boxes for the real article. “Investigations recently made,” continued Mr. Wells, “showed that the fake batteries contain on an av erage of not more than five per cent of new parts. Usually a few new plates are added and electrolyte and the whole thing is assembled In a new box. The buyer of that battery paya a good price for It but receives a cripple that won’t even turn his engine over after a few weeks of work. As the plates are the back bone of the battery and the part that must be relied upon to give service if the battery as a whole is to be sat isfactory, it is, of course, in the plates that the weakness of a poor battery usually manifests itself first. Such a one may render service for a week or a month or even more, de pending upon how much was left of the old battery before the salvage process was begun. But in the end It proves unsatisfactory to the buyer, no m atter how low a price he paid for it originally." The price of standard batteries has been reduced to a low level, accord ing to Mr. Wells, hence it Is to the interest of every car owner to be on guard against anyone who might try to sell him a battery at a very low price. With such batteries on the market, it might be possible for a car owner to buy back most of the parts of one of his old batteries and to pay a good price for what, had been Junk a little while before. At beat,” Mr. Wells said, "the whole scheme works against the manufac turers of standard batteries who are doing everything they can to make batteries that will give maximum service at reasonable coet." ----------o---------- Divinity Candv It takes two saucepans to make the candy—one for three cupfuls gran ulated sugar, a cupful thick syrup and two-thirds cupful water; .the other for cupful granulated sugar and half-cupful water.
