Dad eye sight means dull pupils and han dicapped workers. Malnutrition Is another source of defective adults that needs euro from the school nurse. Too few peoplo know how to feed their children High cost ot milk means actual star vation of children. It might bo moro polite to the reader to say that our foreigners are the peoplo who don t know how to eat; but truth of tho matter Is that any number of straight Amorlcans are starving their children by feeding them enough bulk, but not the food that a child needs to (row on.

Perhaps the defeat of Senator Johnson in New Jersey gives as much satisfaction as anything. Yet the fact can't be denied that with a few "Wood, like an illustrious predecessor, will be out of the running. J' or it he can t keep convention will have none ot certain that when the official count is made, his few hun dred vote lead, will not be lost in the shuffle. Nor do things look bright forthe dark horse, Harding. For a favorite son to win hLs home state by only ten thous and, gives him no prestige with the political bookies. If Lowden's showing in Illinois was disappointing, Harding's performance in Ohio, must be crushing. The wets may liiul solace in uovernor luiwunls load ing his delegation in New Jersey. Hut in Massachusetts, Congressman O 'Council on an anti-dry platform was com pletely snowed under. The old guard won in .Massachusetts as it did m JNew York, but while one or two the majority are unpledged and may be expected to jockey for position as the New York delegation will. Lucky for Hiram he withdrew irom the England will have none of him. . - All of which strengthens the belief that a dark horse will have the best chance in the Chicago convention. The Old Guard will not be grieved if Wood is killed off. They want some one thev can handle. So California promises to as i.t was in 191(i. If Johnson wins, as is probable with money, the machine, and native son sentiment behind him, then watch tho hreworks then the old boys will be faced by a man who can't be handled and whose record is clean. Whatever ensues now, there won t be much tatting m the Coliseum galleries this June. DIRTY POLITICS HOW SOON we lorget. Unly two years ago placarded on every street corner was the slogan, "Save food and win the war." And the American peoplo saved it and the war was won. The man who asked the American people to do that was Herbert Hoover. It was also Herbert Hoover who guaran teed to the American farmer a fair return for his wheat and to the people of the country price lor tneir nreati. A - . , -r Hut lor the Hoover program ine war wouid nave v u- ncssed the greatest orgy of the world, and while the farmers would have made money, it is no exaggeration to say that money so secured would now be worth no more than the German mark. " It was a great patriotic service Hoover rendered, and every right thinking citizen should be grateful for it. Hut are they If Not if one is to judge by the anti-Hoover propo ganda that the Johnson forces arc conducting in California. Pamphlets have recently been sent to every fanner in that state, painting Hoover as the diabolical monster who robbed the poor but honest farmer of California, during the war of his legitimate profits, one of the most contempti ble appeals to selfish interest and class greed, a political campaign has ever witnessed. "Vote for Hiram Johnson, the friend of the poor man and the champion of the hard-working and deserving farmer." Could anything show more clearly the degra dation of Anierican'politics, the reprehensible depths to which otherwise self-respecting American citizens will sink, in a mail desire to gain political advantage? Small wonder Herbert Hoover was reluctant to enter a contest where such tactics are tolerated, small wonder that he should prefer to devote his energies to feeding the starving women and children of Europe, and leave the po litical hodge-podge to the natural born mud-slingcrs and blackguards. 11 . - . . .

A Battery Service Station in the Jungle "A L'SI, Service Station in the Jun gles of Borneo? That would sound rather ridiculous, wouldn't it?" said M. B. Walker of Auto Klectrlc Equip ment Co.. of the local L'SL Service Station representative for this sec tion, in the course of a discussion of. storage battery problems Willi a rep resentative of this paper today. "The fact is," lie continued, "that too many motorists in our own coun try are still in tho Jungle on mutters pertaining to the care and upkeep of thuir storage batteries. They are wandering about aimlessly in the darkness of battery-misunderstanding. They, only seo daylight when they accidentally stumble upon a L'SL Service Stution signboard. '"Perhaps It may bo better from tho viewpoint of some service sta tions to keep them groping blindly junglewurd, but this is not the case with me, nor with the service station I represent. The automobile-driving public should have, at least, a fair knowledge of the storage buttery. They know their motors; why do they neglect their batteries? "There's the battery plates, for in stance. There isn't a motorist in five who knows the difference between a machine-pasted battery plate and a hand-pasted plate, nor the relative staying qualities of eacb. Nor is there ono in forty who understands why a plate will buckle or how to "hydrometo" his buttery. .Most of 'em get flustered wbeu battery trou bles occur and make record time to the service station. "We are glad to meet 'em, of course. Hut take it from me I'd sooner seo a motorist, for his own comfort, know more about that little black box attached to his car." Adv.
