Editorial Correspondence
PALM SPRINGS, April 3. This hag been a trip of misses.
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

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. It.

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

PAY AS THEY CAN
PORTLAND. Ore., April (AP)
To the conscience of each man and
woman has been left the question 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

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..

My first column graced the editor

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

Then came the big adventure In
New York. The crack up of a maga

succession of Jobs and dismissals
and two years of unemployment
during which the column Idea you

columns In a West 57th street
boarding house room, took them
around and waited in ante-rooms
for verdicts. During thla dreary tra

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

So far as I can learn I waa first to

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.
