AFTERNOON, APRIL 17, 19'24 Ml OPPOSES alow poucy Essay Contest Expected To En roll 300,000 Children In Opposition to Dosctrine INDIANAPOLIS, April 17. Communism as a menace to Ameri can institutions will be the subject of the American Legion’s third an nual essay contest among school children of the nation. The contest, expected to enroll the efforts of at least 300,000 school children will continue until June 15, when essays must be in the hands of the county superin tendents of schools for judgment. The time of ending the contest has been changed by the Legion from fall to spring in order to conform the contest to the average school year. • The subject is confined to the title “Why Communism is a Menace to Americanism.’’ Garland W. Powell, Director of the Legion’s National Americanism Commission, is in charge nationally. Previous contests conducted by the Legion took similar phases of Americanism. The first was “How the American Legion Can Best Serve the Nation” and was won by Ah Sing Ching, a Hawaiian youth of Chinese extraction. The 1923 con test took immigration “Why Ameri ca Should Prohibit All Immigration for Five YearS.” In the two contests it is estimated that 500,000 children took part and Mr. Powell believes that 1924 will show a greater enrollment than any preceding attempt because bf change in dates. The rules of the contest provide that all essays submitted must be in the hands of county school super intendents by midnight of June 15, after which they will be passed on by local judges. Winning essays from each county will in turn be sent to State judges, designated by superintendents of public instruc tion or school commissioners. While three winners will be announced by State judges, but one essay will go into national competition from each State, and must be in the hands of the judges by August 10th. Natio nal winners will be announced as soon thereafter as possible. Winner of first place in national competition will be awarded $750 in cash to be used as a scholarship, fund in any school, college or uni-* versity designated by the winner. Second will receive SSOO, and third, $250 for the same purpose. In ad dition to these awards, many Le gion posts and departments present local and State winners with medals and cash . rum raw FUNERALJ IBM Negro Auto Wrack Victim Was Well Thought Os By Many Whites In Americus Funeral services over the remains of Frank McCullough, young negro man who was killed in an automo bile wreck on the Bumphead road Monday night, will be held from the Methodist church, corner of Jack son and Wild streets, Friday af ternoon at 3 o’clock, conducted by Rev. ,M.

A girl n.ay have a pretty face or a pleasant personality—yet if her teeth have a yellowish look she can not be truly charming to men. Men admire personal daintiness in a woman more than the clothes she wears. Notice the girl with pearly white teeth sh e has a charm and attractiveness that is always lacking in the girl with yel lowish teeth. Yet there are still many girls with dull, dingy teeth who have not found out that teeth stains and dis colorations can be completely re moved by using a scientific treat ment recently perfected. This marvelous discovery is known as Bleachodent Combination. Con tains a mild liquid which quickly softens and loosens the hardened stains which cling to th e teeth so that they can be gently removed by the special kind of paste included in treatment. .
