URGES HELP IN LEGION DRIVE Sprague Sounds Call for Contributions Colonel A. A. Sprague, whose vigorous fight for disabled veterans three years ago resulted in the present reforms in the United States Veterans' bureau, has is- sued the following statement urging sup- port of the American Legion Endowment fund of which President Calvin Coolidge is honorary chairman: "North shore citizens are asked to in- vest in the American Legion. The cam- paign to raise $400,000 in Chicago and vicinity to support the work the Legion is doing for the disabled and for the widows and orphans is now under way. "This is a safe investment. The Amer- ican Legion has already proven its ability and right to represent service men. Its members are still young. The great ma- jority are not yet established in business. Many have not yet recovered from their war service. They will be the backbone of American Life for a generation. If anyone can be trusted, they can be. "This is a wise investment. No one knows as well as they the real problems of those who suffered from the War. No one else is so capable of selecting the worthy from the spurious. This is the best guarantee that money given will be well spent and will only accomplish real good. The Legion is organized to do this and has done much already. "This is a necessary investment. There are countless thousands of men, women and little children who deserve and need the wise and practical help of the Amer- ican Legion. This fund will make it pos- sible for them to continue what they have begun and to perform many services which they have been unable to do be- cause of lack of funds. "Many citizens who have been want- ing to contribute to some memorial fund which would be of practical and perma- nent benefit will find their opportunity here. "Chicago and its suburbs can and will do their share." Dames and Damsels of Domecon Have a Dinner The New Trier Domecon club held a dinner last Wednesday evening in the school mess hall at 6 o'clock. All the girls' mothers were invited. The decorations were green and yellow, carrying out the St. Patrick's Day idea. Miss Adelle Savage, president of the club, presided as toastmistress. After the dinner speeches were given, Mrs. Simmonson, New Trier house director, talked on closer re- lationship between the girls of the domestic science department and the home. Miss Van Horn, one of the teachers of the domestic department, gave the view of the department on the same subject. Mrs. William Miller "of Glencoe, gave the mothers' view on the same subject.
