A bugle and drum program by the 40 and 8, Argonne post, accompanied Crain’s address urging the Legion to keep Washington’s memory free of politics and intolerance.

A proposed marriage license screening would compile lists of inmates from state institutions for the feebleminded, to be checked by county clerks before license issuance, with safeguards for court-approved cases.
