LEGION MEN ON HERO LIST
>avid O'Leary and W. W. Cotton of
Pasadena Pott Rescue Victoms
of Exploaion.
There came a deafening roar, and
out of the building gushed the strong
odor of ammonia
gases. David J.
O'Leary, adju-
tant, and W. W.
Col ton. of the
Pasadena, Cal.,
I'oat No. 13,
American legion,
peered through
the dark toward
the post club-
rooms.
"My God."
O'Leary cried.
ta" "The boy scouts
are holding a meeting up there. And
the curetakers must be In there, too."
The men ran Into the building,
fought their way through the deadly
ammonia fumes, one in search of the
caretakers, the other upstairs to the
clubrooms, where the Pasadena boy
scouts were holding their meeting.
But the boy scouts, acting with the
steadiness of nerve and calm discipline
that are the result of their training,
slready were marching out of the
building—arid carrying, four of them
detailed for the work, a crippled boy
scyut who had been overcome. They
had even remembered to pull a pillow-
case over the stricken boy's head, and
they carried him out to safety and
revived him.
Colton and O'Leary, staggering,
groping their way, searched for and
found Mrs. Maude
FI s h b u r n and
Mrs. A. Hare, the
caretakers, w h o
had been sleeping
In their quarters
In the building.
They curried both
women to safety.

them. The two
Legionnaires also
were resusci-
tated.
The post's clubrooms are over an Ice
plant, and It was an ammonia tank ip
the plum which exploded. It was de-,
dared that If It bad not been for tlV1
bravery of O'Leary and Colton the two
women would have met death.

win. One of these
has come to the
,crefront lo
' smashing fashiou
in uie national dispute between Brig-
adier General Sawyer and the nation-
ti rehabilitation committee of the
American Legion over the committee's
claim of governmental neglect and ob-
struction . in providing hospitals for
the disabled veterans.
He Is Humphrey McBride, former
lieutenant colonel, of St. Louis, and
chairman of the rehabilitation com-
mitter of District No. 9, comprising
Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska
In the United States Veterans' bureau
designation of territory. Following
Sawyer's statement to A. A. Sprugue, 1
chairman • of the national committee
that "we now have hospitals enough
except in two districts," Mr. McBride
created something of a furore In mak-
ing a detailed report of conditions in
District No. 9, which was not one of
the districts mentioned by the general,
and supporting Mr, Sprague's strong
claim that General Sawyer falls to
comprehend the nuture of the great
problem the disabled present.
Mr. McBride quotes the government
report of 1,348 beds available In Mis-
souri for disabled veterans and as-
serts a careful check by his committee
.•fin locate only 1,143. He asserts
there are 5,000 cases of Insane with
only 402 In hospitals, and that part
of these are In contract institutions
at an average expense of $300 a day
without any supervision whatsoever
over the care given them.
"There are 518 Insane comrades who
should be receiving the best of care,
'n Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Ne-
braska," he declares. "They should
*je In hospitals. The district absolute-
ly requires immediately up-to-date hos-
pital facilities for treatment of 1,000
insane veterans. .
"There Is urgent need for satisfac-
tory hospital facilities for 1,000 med-
ical and surgical cases in order that
Ihe suspected insane or tuberculous vet-
erans may be provided with observa-
tion and diagnosis, and that hundreds
of totally or partially disabled veter
ans may be treated and re-examined
ps the occasion requires. Therf are,
according to the actual records of the
Veterans' bureau 0.000 ex-service men
in this district suffering with tubercu-
losis; 191 are in hospitals within the
district, 52 of them in contract hos-
pitals, 139 in government loaned or
leased institutions. Many more have
been sent to the South or West far
away from homes and families. This
district Imperatively needs two 500-
hed hospitals located at points within
the district, and easy of access."

Spoiled Diamonds.
Among the crown jewels of the
Hapsburgs were two large diamonds
of ruby tint which were always re-
garded as especially valuable and
whenever the royal Jewels were placed
on exhibition these stones were under
special guard. It was necessary some
time ago to dispose of the jewels, and
as they were being prepared for ex-
hibition, prior to being offered fbr sale,
they were put through a wash which
unfortunately removed the color of the
precious stones and left them perfect-
ly white. Instead of demanding a
fabulous price as ruby diamonds, they
were sold simply as white stones.—
