We missed Gertruile Stein in Pasadena, by an eye lash, we missed t lie bi tennis tournament here by a close shave, we missed tlm bijf floral display at Bakersfield, by receiving the last of three invitations half an hour too late, and we just missed the golf ball completely on the second tee of the local course. The last miss was the most disconcerting for it was witnessed bv two t'irU, on the bench nearby, all dressed up in a couple of flowered iiei ki'ichicfs, hnlf an ounce of cocoa nut oil, and a couple of dainty horse lauchs. Tough luck,' and particularly mortifying as the editor's daughter preceded him by smacking one straight clown the course for 200 yards! Oh hum, so it goes. The PHlm an item. One of the local millionaires presented the course to this popular sun bathing paradise, and the result shows what money and good golfing brains can, do. It is only a nine-hole course, and is built on a stretch and as flat as a pancake. Tet the greens are excellent, the fairways arc not bad, and every hole is interesting. The interest has been injected by the use of ledges of rock, through which and over which the ball must travel to arrive at its destination. There is one blind hole, which is a ducky one must shoot directly over a soaring ledge of rock which forms the foundation of one of these desert back drop mountains to reach the green and the result can't be known until the plaver has walked to within 50 feet of the pin. That walk is full of what the dramatists calj "suspense." Dolores Pel Pio is here at the Desert Inn accompanied by a dour looking Spanish duenna who may or may not be her mother. Dolores is beautiful as ever, but looks frail and rather sad. We havo an idea she has never fully recovered from that serious illness she had. Paul Lukas is also here and thereby hangs a tale. Last night sitting on the hotel porch, a good ooking chap in a beret cap attractive yonng"girl. When he had passed by our was Paul Lukas." "Sure it wasn't Herbert Hoover?" was our skeptical re joinder. Paul Lukas is old enough to be your papa and wouldn't be seen dead in a beret!" "I will bet you so-an-so it WAS Paul Lukas." "OK, we will take your so-an-so bet." Later in the lounge the same gent passed by and we rushed to the clerk to verify our skepticism and cash in on our perspi cacity. . "That isn't Paul LtiUas, is it?" we inquired. "That man there yes, that's Mr. Lukas he has been here off and on most of the winter." Paul Lukas in a beret another illusion shattered 1 and another miss! Palm Springs has grown a bit ago there are manv changes new open air restaurant called the "nut kettle" where extremely delicious salads are served at reasonable prices. We can recom mend one especially made of halved pears, cottage cheese, grape truit, and head lettuce, sprinkled with mayonnaise and nut meats. One of these days some one is going to make a fortune out of specializing in pear salads. ..... It's like mid summer here today a slight wind scatters the cotton from the cottnnwood trees -not welcomed as a garnish ment for the above pear salad, and annoying an elderly lady at the next table exceedingly. They have a way of catching on her thick and .bushy eyebrows, and she slaps away at them under the apparent impression they are butterflies or mosqui toes. She doesn't, enjoy her luncheon al fresco and finally moves indoors. Miss Madge Evans just drove up looking very neat and trim somewhat disappointed apparently no one met her. Madge looks just, the same off the stage as on which is rather unusual. She was finally greeted by Mr. and Mrs.,.Ffnnk Morgan who have a house for the winter and spring. Movie stars are thicker here than in Hollywood. This is a grand place to loso a cold and also it seems to pick one up. What could bo more logical when one comes to think about, it? R. W.

MAYBE MY IRON Formerly I harped a good deal on the Idea that anemia Is rarely If ever due to a lack of Iron, and ! that It la diffi cult to select a diet which does not provide all the Iron the body requires. Infants or Inval ids restricted to exclusive milk diet do not get enough Iron, be cause milk la poor In Iron, but the addition of a spoonful or two of powdered spinach to a bot tle or glaaa of milk will correct the deficiency, besides furnishing desir able vitamins. When there la no need to restrict the diet, these Items are rich In Iron: Beans, peaa. egg yolk, molasses, oysters, peanuts, dried prunea. wheat bran, entire (unmllled ) wheat, lean beef, oat meal, spinach green or dried, maple syrup, cocoa, currants, dates, rais ins, brown bread, graham bread, dried apples, dried apricots, walnuts, pecans, dandelion greens. So far, fine. But recently, the knowing onea observe, I aeem to have decided that one can't get enough Iron, for I advise that the old timers consider enormous doaea of iron for simple anemia. How come I have changed my mind about this? And how can I contradict myself so flagrantly and get away with it? Here's another thing not many have yet noticed. I'm laying on chiropractors lately. I may as well confess. One of 'em wrote me a cordial letter and . under separate cover sent me a swell pipe and a canister of the choicest 'baccy and before I realized It I found myselt taking a quizzical, tolerant attitude, where always before I had been poisonous. But I haven't been subsidized by the medicine Interests. My teaching about Iron and anemia hasn't chang ed at all. In order to relieve the anxiety of those who are upset about thla, I offer the following explanation In the booklet "Blood and Health" copy of which you may have If you send ten cents In coin and a stamped envelope bearing your address : "The greater part or possibly all of the Iron given as medicine serves to take up and combine with the hydrogen sulphide In the Intesttne. This hydrogen sulphide Interferes with the assimilation of iron in food or medicine. Thus the black ening of the dejecta by iron taken as medicine may be regarded as an Indication that the medicine la doing good It is removing some dhoti AMn iiirnin imiLttrnj memo PAY AS THEY CAN PORTLAND. Ore., April (AP) To the conscience of each man and woman has been left the question of payment of the debt he or she owed the late Dr. Prank Maxon Taylor of Portland. Dr. Taylor, physician and surgeon, died April 1. It was revealed today that his will Instructed that all rec ords of patients be destroyed by fire upon his death and that collections of accounts be made only from those volunteerlnu to pay for the services he had rendered. After the burning of the records, the physician . directed, advertise ments are to be placed with Portland newspapers requesting all persons "knowing themselves to be Indebted to me for professional services, to make proffer of settlement of same In whatever sum said persons consider a Just and equitable money value for such services, or as much thereof as he or she can pay without material injury to himself or herself, or those depending on them. (Continued from Page One) Old political stage-hands paid lit tle attention to the exuberant claim, made by both Republican and Democratic orators about the recent sectional elections. The bea Michigan authorities be lieve the result there may have Indicated that Mr. Roosevelt could not carry that state today. Inas much as he did not carry It last November, thla deduction Is hardly sensational. The Chicago election meant little because the Republi cans did not present their best can didates, did not try. Too manv local personalities were involved In thr.e two sections, snh elsewhere, to warrant any worth while national conclusions.

IB RUNNING LOW thing which prevents the utilization of Iron by the body. There, now. If that isn't a per fectly satisfactory alibi and withal a scientifically sound one, I'm a quack. Mind, It Is not just my notion, but the accepted view or many good physicians. Of course, all I know la what I read In the medical Journals and what I pick up listening In when good doctors get together. Although I go Bia bla here unmercifully, I'm aphasic when real doctors are holding a symposium. In that way I find there are lota of things I don't know, and now and then a thing the other doctors don't know. In a healthy body there la a scant teaspoonful of Iron. The body requires perhaps one-fourth grain or iron dally.- But the suoceaful treatment of anemia calls for about a teaspoonful of 'Iron daily to re store the ability of the Intestine to assimilate the normal dally ration of Iron. QUESTIONR AND ANSWERS Eyestrain . Should a person suffering from headache after reading, studying or sewing go to have her eyes exam ined? (W. R.) Answer First, I think, ahe should consult a regular physician, and If the headache is not dye to an ordinary cause- he will advise about the oculist. Headache due to eye strain Is by no means so common as some merchants would have you think. Difficult Duty Please advise me how I am to approach my son aged IS who haa fallen into the habit ... (J. F. T.) Answer I don't know. The Ideal way, if possible. Is for dad to try to keep the boy's confidence and help him to break the habit, but never make too much fuss about It. I'll be glad to send you, or the boy himself if he cares to confide In me, a letter of advice. Be sure to Inclose stamped envelope bearing your address when you desire a reply by mall. Copperas . Please tell me about copperas for darkening gray hair. (M. R.) Answer A lump of copperas (iron sulphate) the size of a chestnut dissolved In a pint of tea. This has been used with satisfaction aa a rinse for the hair by many whose hair Is turning gray. Of course It doesn't restore color. It simply dar kens the conspicuous gray for the time being, and must be applied daily or frequently..

A. was an insurance scent, And an on. T attain, tu vmi by the almple and blundering process of being a failure at everything else. In other words, hit bottom hnnt enough and you may bound up ami i:eagea columnist with a cane ono everything. My first column graced the editor ial page of a paper In Dayton. O. It was and was there ever such Imag inative ingenuity? captioned "Just For Fun." pinched out in the brief interludes of editing copy, writing head-lines, making up pages and covering what waa called "the City Hall run." The column ran for four days before the publisher noticed It and whistled up the tube for me The column was ringed In deep mourning on his desk. "What's the Idea of this? ' he scowled. "Don't you like it?" I twittered. He bellowed: I not only don't like It, I won't have It!" Oenius staggered a moment and as I tottered up the stairs he called: "And don't have a lot of your friends writing in how they miss It." The whltehalred old mind readerl The next experimenting In col umnlng waa in Cincinnati on The Post. I was still trying to sneak over the Idea while nobody was looking. Came a day when a fellow who had fallen heir to Charles R. Barnes's column. "All Sorts." quit or went on bender, I don't recall which. As assistant to the telegraph editor I timidly whined to fill the space. I could, but there was to be no by line, which took the heart right out of me. I dashed It off for two weeks with a mounting ego that volcanoed Into 12 point Initialed black face: "By O. O. M." After all I didn't sign my full name. It got through the first edition but the page waa made over to delete It and I returned to full time assistant telegraph editing Someone else did the column until thej tot another regular boy. Waa I the office laugh! Then came the big adventure In New York. The crack up of a maga zine to which I had been billeted succession of Jobs and dismissals and two years of unemployment during which the column Idea you are now reading waa born. I wrote columns In a West 57th street boarding house room, took them around and waited in ante-rooms for verdicts. During thla dreary tra vail Herb Swope told me: "We have no place for you on The World, but you have something." All I could see that I had waa a slight dizziness from malnutrition, but it was light In a dark place and, so encouraged. I began to mimeograph my stuff and waft it around the circuit free. So far as I can learn I waa first to syndicate a New York column In this century. To blaze a trail and endure aome hardships of the pion eer Is as much fun aa anyone can have. I was much younger then, the world was my oyster and Just to bv alive was a rip roaring Jamboree. It my path-finding made it a bit eas ier, and I think it did. for those who came alter. I am happy. In the ma ture reflection of serener years. I can look back down the often rocky road somewhat dispassionately. I am thoroughly convinced I would trave. It aain. And that seems to me tlv height of contentment: To have don the thing you really wanted to do. E FT. ASTORIA. Ore.. April 0. (API In formation was received here today from Washington. D.

H J WASHINGTON, April 6. (P) Eighteen yeara to the day. after America entered the Great War. this country la once more faced with an European crisis which might develop into another world upset. To 'he country which haa led an unfaltering struggle for peace, the distant rumblings seem rather muf fled, but to those In power In Wash ington, many of whom held Import ant political positions during the World war, things do not look any too bright . No one who held a high executive position In either the army or navy at that time la In active service. General Pershing alone, who holds a lifetime commission aa general of the amues despite hla retirement, haa any close contact at Washington. The military forces are not the only ones who have changed. Although the same political party la In power, Wood row Wilson, then president, haa passed on. His chief aides are all out of the picture, either through retirement or death. The man who waa his undersecre tary of the navy now la the chief executive. Only IS of 06 senators of today were in the war-making 65th con gress. With them ait Vice -President Gar ner and nine senators who were In the house then and McAdoo of Cali fornia, war-time treasury secretary. In the house aits one senator of 1917.

Ye Poet's Cornei THE OAK One day aa I strolled down a shady lane, 1 I heard a noise like rain upon a window pane: I stopped to learn from whence came the sound. And found It was acorns dropping to the ground. From the boughs of an Oak, tall, stately and grand, Who once had been an acorn fallen upon the land. I knew that the Oak had stood there for long. And as I lingered he sung me a true song. He told me of rains and of lengthy droughts. Of wind that his stripped off his boughs. He told me of Indians all painted red, Of Pioneers crawling to hla shade almost dead. He told me of wild horses, cattle and deer. That once grazed In the meadows near. He told me of antelope and buffalo, too. The likes of which you and I never knew. He told me of the noise, the sorrow and fun, When storms at night made the wild folk run. . He told me of times when the grass grew tall. When trees and wild folk was hla company all. He told me of the squirrels and of the doves. That once In his boughs met to make love. But the last story he told was the saddest of all; That was how man's axe made his brothers fall. I. R. Chandler. 4 Dlx to England HOLLYWOOD.- April 6.
