It isn't gener nlly retillzed, hut the law appar ently remlii that the president could Bend national guard troops to fight in at leant certain parts of the new world without any 11 thorlatlou by congi-etui. The word "apparently" la used, tx-ciuiKt' there is snme conflict nr opinluu. Hut hero Ih the setup: Ihe count It 11 1 Ion authorizes the president to call out "the militia" to repel Invasion, put down rebel lion or enforce the taws. This was always interpreted to mean that the inllltla. nr uunrd. could lie summoned to flcht invaders only 11 tnose invaders tiad ulreaily crossed the border. In 1H12. however. Attorney Gen eral WlckerrOiam handed down a iiilliiK on the matter which con siderably changed possibilities. Actual Power Questionable U'lckershaiu ruled that the inllltla could not. in the ordi nary course of things, be sent across the border. However, he said, i the invaders had been re pelled lu this country and it was necessary to chase them across the border in order to ciipture and disarm tUein. the militia could be used in that way; 'furth ermore. If an invading force "were inobilllnc beyond the border with evident Intent to invade the Unit ed States, the militia might be or dered to cross Ihe border and "re pel" them before they got her. Mow broad tlto president's pow ers may be is open lo some ques tion. If Kuropean troops should i tie landed on one of tbe Caribbean , islands, for Instance, the matter I of their "evident Intent" to Invade the United States would probably !be for the president to decide. Guard's Strength Secret The exact degree of prepared ness which the national guard has today Is kept secret. The guard contains 18 fully or ganized Infantry divisions of the so-called "square" type four in fantry regiments apiece. In addi tion, there are HI air corps obser vation squadrons, four cavalry divisions. 21 anti-aircraft regi ments, II harbor defense regi ments and three mobile tractor drawn 8-lnch gun artillery regi ments the whole coming to a to tal of 212,708 officers and men. What is kept secret Is the state nf the guard's equipment. Large sums have been voted In recent years S43.unu.uno in 11139. 171.- iiuo.nuo In lrilti. and IH8.OOU.Ooo for the coming year. It is known that much of the national guard equipment which has been on order has been ill verted to the regular army on de livery. Kind Cruelty The puffin, a bird of the Far North, deserts Its young, thereby reducing their woight, by starva tion, and enabling them to flutter down to the sea lightly and safe v from their nests on hlirh cliffs. Sole. Atjtncy for Ftsk Tires Hert Designated Announcement was made today by W. L. llerron, local sales re presentative of Tide Water Asso ciated Oil company, that his com pany bad completed arrangements for the exclusive sale of Flsk tires throughout the Pacific coast mar keting territory. Mr. Herron particularly stressed the features of the Flsk Saftl Flight tire with its exclusive pat ented white rubber Insert tread which had led to the claim that this famous crcutlon of Fik Is the safest tire ever built. Newspaper advertising Is being used to introduce Pacific coast motorists to this new service, whereby Flsk tires can now be ob tained at Associated service sta tions throughout tbe west.
