Main Street of Desdemona, Tex., Legion headquarters in lower part of whito
How a post of the American Le
gion purified a little oil-boom town in
Texas when respect lor law ami order
had become a mockery is told in the
American Legion Weekly.
Desdeinbua, Tex., was hardly more
than a stop for wayfarers on the road,
a slumbrous, dusty community, until
oil came and the town took on new life
and lured hosts of brawny adventur
ers. The treasure hunters came to
prospect and pioneer, but, as is inevi
tably the case, there followed after
them a horde of shifty-eyed gentry
and red lipped women. The word was
passed out that the lid was off in Des
demona.
Then the ring ran up against The
American Legion. Individually for a
long time the members of Penvy-Brlce
post tried quietly to combat the spread
of vice in Desdemona. The ring, aid
ed by the town constable, a deputy
sheriff and the justice of tbe ace, de
cided that it would crush this organi
zation of veterans who stood for ideals
that were not compatible with places
of unsavory repute. It began by
threatening the Legionnaires with vio
lence and when it found them unwil
ling to retaliate it grew more arro
gant. '11. post quietly called a cap
tain of Texas rangers from Austin.

building at the right.
The captain found Desdemona In \
tumult. Armed members of the vice!
ring were parading through the streets ;
In confident bravado. The post mar
shaled Its forces and ordered the three
offending "peace" officers of the town
to leave within twenty-four hours. The
latter returned a contemptuous re
fusal. Desdemona seethed. From oil I
fields and camps hundreds of men
poured Into town to lie present when
the ultimatum should expire.
Eighteen Legionnaires were sworn
In ns deputy rangers and mingled with
the crowd while the offending officers j
swaggered down th;' main street. Just :
us the time limit expired one unarmed
member of the Legion post stepped up
to the officers and ordered Ihem to
surrender. A dozen revolvers leaped
from a dozen hips and all the bravado
went out of the ring. The Legion dep- ,
uties disarmed the leaders and march-1
ed them off to tin office, where the;,
wrote out their resignations us town ;
officials.
Tbe next morning the roads from
Desdemona were dotted with atttomo- '
biles bearing the exodus of the sport
ing fraternity to newer and greener
pastures. Desdemona was through
with them.
ATTENTION TO DISABLED MEN
Many Posts Join In Campaign to Pro
vide ,Aid and Care for Afflicted
< Ex-Service Boys.
Quick response has been manifested
by scores of posts of the Legion In the
campaign launched by the American-
Ism commission to aid and care for
disabled service men. Reports from
ail sections of the country tell of en
tertainments arranged tor the wound
ed ami of visits to the hospitals where
they are confined.
Eight service men who are now in
the Fox Hills (N. V.) hospital have
been assigned to the Scnrsdale post,
which is planning to look after them
follow their discharge from the in
stitution, while th,' New Haven
(Conn. post presents a weekly enter
tainment for the 100 veterans conva
lescing in the hospital in that city.
"l.ins along similar lines are being
carried out by the John Purroy Mitch
el post of New York city, which has
appointed a committee to advise and
assist wounded men in the Polyclinic
hospital, and a group of patients from
this institution are entertained each
week at the Kuollwood Country club at
White Plains. The men are taken out
into the country in motorcars.
