R. COE Cody, Wyoming American Legion (C# ?h. f ? r T . h, ■ D *P*rtment Supplied by the American Legton Neww Service.) LEGION LIKED "MAC’S” NERVE Veteran of the U. 8. Navy la Chosen aa One of the Organization's National Heads. John Alexander McCormack, vice commander of the American Legion. liked the looks of the navy as far back as 1904. He still thinks it is a good organi zation, although In recent years be has trans ferred his ener gies to the Navy Tuberculosis hos pital at Fort Lyon, Colo. Mr. McCormack joined the navy M /-Io when he was seventeen years old. In 1905 he wns transferred from ap prentice seaman to hospital appren tice, and the following year was one of those who administered aid to the survivors of the famous turret explo sion on board the U. S. 8. Kearsarge, on Good Friday afternoon. He quit the navy In 1908, but heard the voice of the see again In 1915. Within a year he was helping capture Vera ■ Cruz with the landing party that went ! ashore from the Atlantic fleet. Before 1917 had ended he had es tablished a hospital at St. Angers, and Naval Base Hospital No. 1 at Brest. One of the things he does not mention about his career Is the outbreak of a fire at Brest, during which he carried out several helpless patients and near ly ruined a couple of serviceable hands. During the Marne offensive he was on an operating team at Juilly. The Legion thought so much of his spirit and capabilities that they elect ed him one of their national heads. WARM FRIEND OF THE LEGION John Lambrca of St Paul la Ever Ready to Feed the Hungry Ex-Service Man. Whenever an ex-service man holding one hand on his stomach applies at the American Le gion tn St. Paul. Minn., the Legion asks: “Why don’t you go to see John?" “John" Is John C. Lam bros, a restaurant pro prietor whose hobby is satisfy ing the gnawings of w’orthy ex-sol diers who are looking around for a job. At a recent celebration at the St. Paul armory he tackled a t ig contract and fed 600 men at cost —and It didn’t cost very much at that. Although Lambros was born in Se derocastron, Greece, nobody minds be cause nobody can pronounce it. And everybody swears that he is more of an American than many citizens of na tive birth. He has been in this coun try for 13 years, during which time he has developed this great passion for seeing that people do not go hungry in St. Paul, and become a warm friend and helper to the American Legion. “LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD” National Commander MacNlder Offer* Clever Fling at Editorial Com ment on Hi* Youthfulness. Being referred to as a “child” Is all right if on* knows the trick of turning the phrase. The New York Times, In an editorial, referred to the youthfulness of Hanford MacNlder, commander of th* American Legion. In the next speech MacNlder made, he said: “You remember the story of the shaky young second lieutenant who was suddenly called upon to take com mand of a hard-boiled company. As he stepped to the front, some private In the rear rank muttered: ’And a little child shall lead them.’ The of ficer commanded the man who made the remark to step two paces for ward —and the whole company stepped up. “He dismissed them and ten minutes later the following bulletin was posted on the company’s board: This com pany will assemble at 3 p. m. In heavy marching order for a twenty-mlle hike. And a little child shall lead them— on a d—n big horse.’ ” One Killed In 6TI Blare Whiting, Ind. —One man was killed, three were Injured, and a battery of 10 oil stills of the Standard Oil com pany burned up when an explosion In a single still started a fire Friday which for several hours was beyond control. The Intense heat from the fire made a thorough Investigation irupos Mble for some time with the result that there were rumors that the cas ualty list was much larger. These proved to be unfounded, however. Damage was estimated at between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. Phon* your news item* to No. 9. POSTAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK IS OBSERVED May 1 Sees Inaugurated First General Campaign of Kind in Service. Without the Postal Service, business would languish In a day, and be at a standstill in a week. Public opinion would die of dry rot. Actional hatred or prejudice only would flourish, and narrow-mindedness thrive. It is the biggest distinctive business in the world and it c*mes nearer to the Innermost Interests of a greater num ber of men and women than any other Institution on earth. No private busi ness, however widespread, touches so many lives so often or sharply; no church reaches into so many souls, flutters so many pulses, has so many human beings dependent on Its min istrations. “Postal Improvement Week" has 1 been set for May 1, by the Postmaster I General. This Is the first general cam-| paign of Its kind In the Postal Service for several decades. Business men and their organizations, large users of; the mall, newspapers, motion pictures, advertisers, and the entire organiza tion of 326,000 postal workers are to be enlisted In this country-wide campaign J of Interest In postal improvements. Your help la vital. Address your let ters plainly with pen or typewriter. Give street address. Spell out name of State, don’t abbreviate. Put your return address In the upper left hand corner of enve;ope (not on the back) and always look at your letter b*;'o<a dropping In the mall to see If it Is properly addressed. This car* In the use of th* mall* is for your benefit and speeds up the dispatch and delivery of mall matter. If you have any complaints of poor service make them to your postmaster. He has Instructions to investigate them and report to the department. COURTESY It sticks in human relations like i postage stamps on letters. The; POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ex i peets it to be used by its postmasters and employees in dealing with ths I public. Help them in its use beginning with POSTAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK. May 1-6, 1922. THANK YOU WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY The Dead Letter Office has been in existence ever since Ben Franklin started our postal service. Even then people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel Smithers, “Atlantic Coast,” and ex pected Ben to know just where Zeke lived. Perhaps they had Zeke’s address in letters up In the garret, maybe a chest full of ’em, but then It was easier to let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are addressing letters to John Smith, New York. N. Y m or Chicago, 111., thinking Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is just as incomplete as was Zeke’s ad dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart ment asks you to put the number and street In the address. It helps you. How do you expect the Postal Clerk to know whether you mean Trinidad. California, or Trinidad, Colorado? ALWAYS SPELL OUT THE NAME OF THE STATE IN FULL IN THE ADDRESS. “MORE BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT* This apt phrase was used in Presi dent Harding’s first message to Con gress and applies particularly In postal management where postmasters are being impressed with the fact that they are managers of local branches of th* biggest business in the world. HERE COMES A STRANGER! Let’s make our post office look neat, Mr. Postmaster. Straighten up the rural letter box, Mr. Farmer. Tidy up some, Mr. Rural Carrier. First Impressions are lasting. Maybe Mr. Stranger, taking notice of these Im provements. will come back, bringing you benefits. Start these with “POS TAL IMPROVEMENT WEEK” May 16. HUMANIZING THE POSTAL SERVICE “There Is no unimportant person or part of our service. It Is a total of human units and their co operation is the key to its success. In its last analysis, postal duties are accommo dations performed for our neighbors and friends and should be so regarded, rather than as a hired service per form*? for an absentee employer.”— Postmaster General Hubert Work. ) Almost Unbelievable Fineness.
