There is no doubt that in sanctioning the transfer of air mail from private companies to the army, President Roosevelt made the most serious mis take of his administration. The death of ten army airmen, and the, complete demoralization of commercial air transportation, are two things the administration, will never completely live down. ' . But in FAIRNESS we must say this for the President. When he makes a mistake, he is willing, to rectify it, and do all he can to undo the harm that may have; been done. To date his admission of error has not been as complete or as frank as we might wish, but reading between the lines, it appears certain that; he is determined to give the private airplane companies a fair deal, put the air delivery into their hands, and see that our army air forces are improved and brought up to date. . At the start of his administration President Roosevelt said his program was to be one of trial and error; that he. expected to -make .mistakes but . when Jie found his way WASN'T the right way, he would waste no-time in changing it. That pledge it appears at this writing he is about to keep. Pity the poor Indian 1 We sat next to one in Union Square this morning, none other than Chief Lone-Scalp-Lock, a Creek, graduate of Carlisle in the class of '97, famous then as a foot ball: player and later coach at Washington State, now a very pitiful and lonely old man trying to sell copies of the Indian magazine. Chief Scalp-Lock has no teeth and so larnyx but by putting a cloth pad over the hole just undor his collar band, he can talk, although there is. a wheezy spluttering sound like a leaky valve, with' every word. The old boy opened up the conversation by being interested in a little feather in Ye Editor's hat, saying he had noticed feathers in men's hats in San Francisco and wondered why they were there. The only reason we could give him was that the clerk who sold us the hat, put it there. "I used to wear ftiathers in my hat, many of them," he wheezed and giving uk a .toothless smile, he opened the Indian magazine and showed us his picture when he weighed 175 pounds instead of 150 and was fitted out in full war bonnet and buckskin suit. He also showed us a picture of his daughter, a -very .beautiful girl, smiling, modern, very American, who teaches at the Haskell Indian school in Kansas. Hci; mother, he explained, was only half Indian 'As far as we can recall we have only spoken to one other whose, job ',8 ' housework.

Before we left an other munched an apple. Then there was a spill at a turn, five or six bicycles came together and came out twisted together like a snarl of angle worms while attendants slurried about aud For some time we have known the bicycle is coming back but we didn't suppose the six-day bicycle race would. However, one is being run off here now at the Civic auditorium, and we looked in on it for an hour or two today. We never had seen one before and thought' we might figure out, in what their fas cination consists. We came away without succeeding. Why anyone wishes to see ten or twelve husky gents, wear ing old fashioned bathing suits, some of them over winter un derwear, on old fashioned low handle bikes, meandering around a pine board sauoer hmir after hour, most of the time only fast enough to stay upright we oan't fathom. Of course there were occasional spurts,, and scattered cheers when, some frantic peddler shot up the outer ridge of the track and shot down ahead of them all, but in the ordinary sense of the term there was NO RACE in it. We understand the event is popular for late parties, the guests adjourning to the bicycle race about three or four a. m. where they can sit at little tables about the track and have MORE to eat and drink. No doubt one might get a kick out of the spectacle ct sunrise. . e We were more interested in the riders off duty than those in the ring. These gentlemen at least some of them, were snoozing in piano boxes open to full view, aud with a jazz band banging away most of the time, the drummer not being six feet are more efflca clous In any form of anemia than are the modern much touted and hence expensive organic Iron com pounds. One of the old fashioned Iron medicines which la now employed extensively in the treatment of slmplb anemia la Iron- ammonlum-cltrate, or as It la offic ially known. Iron and ammonium citrate. But with this difference In administration. Today the well-In formed physician prescribes doses at least ten times larger than did phy sicians a generation ago. The old- timer opined that a grain or two was enough to give In a dose. The doctor today gives at least 15 grains at a dose. Yet the doctor today knows more about the role of Iron In physical economy than the doctor of yester day knew. For one thing, we know now that approximately one-fourth of a grain of Iron a day la all that the body requires in health. 80 tar as our present knowledge of physio logy and nutrition goes there la no reason to suppose that the body ever needs more than this Iron ration In Illness. So the old-timer, with his one-grain dose of Iron, gave enough In one dose to last the patient all day and half the night theoretically. But there's a catch In this. . I know we doctors have a lot of dumb theories and traditions, but we are discarding them aa fast aa may be consistent with the dignity of the profession. One of our dumb theories that has stuck too long Is that all the medicine the patient swallows Is util ized by the body. The healthy Individual who haa never received any Iron In medicine, nevertheless gets his Iron ration from his food. The anemic Individual, perhaps taking the same food, falls to get his Iron ration from It. Why? Honestly, nobody knows. But phy siologists studying fhe problem ad- vanco the hypothesis that iron given In medicine merely serves to combine with sulphuretted- hydrogen and other sulphur compounds In the Intestine and these sulphur compounds must be removed before the Iron of food can be assimilated. Thla Ingenious explanation accounts for the extra- ordinary success modem physlclana have In the treatment of anemia with large doses of Iron. But it falls to ac count for the success physicians have In treating anemia with subcutaneous injections of inorganic iron if they nave any notable success with such treatment. Anyway, here's more blood and bet ter life to sll our anemic readers, and I don't care what brand of anemia they prefer. The recipe remains un changed: You mix It yourself, unless you are an utter Imbecile four ounces of Iron and ammonium cit rate (that's one Item) In a pint bot tle; tnen fill the bottle up with water. Dose:. Teaspoonful after food three times a day for at least three months. Take It In a little water sweetened with sugar and Havored as you like. QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS. Scat, You Roaches!
