The student desire that military drill be optional. It would give them more time for thinking, teas, play ing the slot machines, attending lec tures by Imported female com munists, and plain meditation. The question may be decided by the voters, by lnltattve petition. A ma jority of the voters have never been to college, or been screamed at by a second lieutenant, so they would gnlly vote "No." The populace have registered their will upon the stu dent fees, so why not upon military training. They should also be given the right for a voice In the selec tion of the Yell King. e In the Interest of clvlo beauty more decorative and artistic signs are urged at street Intersections, as a means of reducing auto speed ana traffic laws.

A policeman in Pershing Square is authority for the statement the transient embargo at the state line has been a great success, "The bos jest ain't coinin' in" he said, "it's the best thing ever happened to California. Tie next thing is to get the non-resident bums out of here ship them back to their home states. They're goin' to do that, too!" So we suggest n new slogan: "California, here we gol Lewis Ulrich, here we COME 1" At the moment the sun is shining the first since our arrival, but more rain is predicted. At that the total rainfall is lesB than it was at thic time a year ago, and several inches below normal. It appears the late fall and early winter were the driest in many years, and old Jupiter F. is merely making up for lost time. Everyone says business is better much better. Met some old friends from Jlockford, Illinois, wintering in California for the first time. They were stalled for 90 hours on the Illinois Central, at Ft. Dodge, Iowa, telephone poles. It has rained rival, but you should hear them rave about the beauties and climatic delights of southern California! Incidentally they couldn't get rooms at the Biltmore or Ambassador, and had hard work finding accommodations at the Huntington in Pasadena. "They say" the hotels here 1929.

All in all we shoultid say the men looked better than the gals, better health, less arti ficial. And they appeared to he having the better time. . By the way who said Herbert Marshall has a wooden leg? If so there must be springs in it or SOMETHING! (They called it the Screen Actors' Guild ball.) Speaking of movies, we certainly drew a pay ticket on the first one this trip Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy in "Rose Marie." Two of the finest voices and most vital, wIioIh- some personalities on the Bcreen and not a phoney or a false note from tho overture to the final fade out. Our highest praise for a movie has formerly been one worth seeing a second time. Guess that will have to be revised. Tho man on our left had seen Rose Marie three times this was his fourth. And tho only thing that distinguishes him from the decent average, is an eye for beauty and an ear for music. To see the show we had to stand half an hour in line. And could any blurbing superlatives provide a stronger testimonial than this "Waiting is an awful bore but the show was worth it." . Add prosperity note: The elderly gentleman in the Biltmore pipe shop three years ago was doing the job alone and having a tough time of it, now he has two clerks and they are busy all the time. Upton Sinclair is just another politician. After his defeat for the governorship he declared he was through with politics forever. Now he ii addressing Epie meetings, and leading an attack on Senator MeAdoo and what ho calls the reactionary delegation to the Democratic convention. It's an incurable disease. Once let the political bug bite you and you never recover, or almost never. Tes we have been to Los Angeles many, many times in the past couple of decades and it should bo an old story. But it isn't and probably never will be. In all the world no eity like this particularly along Main street and the lower business dis trict. We wondered at the peep shows, the honky tonks, the side show freaks, the sidewalk fakirs, that steady stream of soiled, sordid and repulsive humanity 20 years ago. Walk from Pershing Square. down to the Pacific Electric station and you still wonder! Can it be they arc getting a sense of humor in southern California after all these yearst At the movie Inst night the news reel gave a close-up of Long Beach after the recent hurri cane, shcils blown over, houses unroofed, trees down, and the announcer put over this: "A little breeze blows in southern California, Nebraska parers please copy." There was an ap preciable ripple of laughter in the packed house and one or two that might pass as guffaws. Perhaps they were from the Mid West, tourists who had dropped in, even so that they were net given the bum's ruh by the ushers, indicates SOME progress. Dropped up to see an old friend on the Times in the new building, and WHAT a building! He says the Times is beating out Hearst in circulation these days like "nobody's business" maintains Hearst is even more unpopular than Franklin D. Roosovelt in southern California!

Complaints which physicians have associated with the American custom of stuffing, over eating, eating as a social amenity, eating because It Is meal time, eating for "strength," eat ing as a pastime, eating against time, gulping and washing It down, and eating when under emotional, or, as the uned ucated call It, "nervous" tension or strain, eating without appetite or with a spurious appetite or craving Induced by Irri tants such as mustard, pepper, salt, alcohol: "Uver trouble," "bilious ness," "autointoxication," "dyspepsia," "Indigestion," "gas," flatulency, ful ness and dullness after meals, sick headaches, high blood pressure, hard ening of the arteries, apoplexy, chron ic nephritis, heart failure. In the Incipient or formative stage of one of these very human com plaints the victim laughs at doctors and their preachments and halls with delight any and all comments on the unwisdom of dieting. But there Is one picture the lalty cannot lightly laugh off that of the man on the verge of a stroke of paralysis (apoplexy, cerebral hemorrhage) or heart failure or uremic coma manifesting a hearty appetite and gorging a meal which Imposes a load far in excess of his poor capacity to handle, shortly be fore the tragedy. In the Bread and Milk Club you soon learn that one cannot expect to maintain health and efficiency by eating heartily and regularly; It Is rather a result or a sign of health and efficiency that one eats heartily and regularly. The picture of health Is spare of frame and rather pale as compared with the plethoric caric- j ature popularly conventionalized; this common florid picture is more like the Incipient stage of arteriosclerosis or the primary stage of myocardial degeneration.

In his form ative years he became identified with the ten-twent-thlrtswlth the frail hero ine, hissing vil lain and virtue triumphant. He was re garded as some thing of a piay- wrlghtlng hack until he won the Pulitzer prira prize with a mar bly threnody of his native Maine, "Icebound." This yesr he brought his son. Donald. Into his field with a Joint dramatisation of "Ethan Frome," one of the outstanding hits. Another son, Owen, Jr., has be come an actor of some distinction. Nearly all of the present crop or dramatic critics remember when the elder Davis wss regarded as some thing of a Corse Peyton of his call ing. Nobody took his efforts very seriously. Just another blood and thundererl He has changed all that without changing so very much himself. He has no truck with the Intelligentsia He's a big, virile, home-spun fellow without the slightest affectation. A survivor of the sophistries that burled mnny of his kind. A plain playwright with plain messages that somehow never die. Broadway, with Its Incessnnt curi osity, has a new topic. That was the appearance at a first night or so Of one of Its better known bachelors. George Jean Nathan, with a cele brated bachelor lady. Elsa Maxwell. Usually Nathans partner for a pre miere Is Lillian Oish. now In Eu rope. So stnndArdlwd are the open ing night companionships that any variation, such as Nalhan squiring MlM Maxwell, becomes an intermis sion sensation. They are old friends. New York Una many who pair off In purely Platonic friendships and have become familiars at various gal ties. Such as Alexander Wooli rott and Neysa McM-ln, Fannie Hurst and Daniel Frohman. Mstiry Paul and Beth Ary. Miriam Hop kins and Ward Morchou. and Rob ert Garland and Miss Ruby Schl naM. Then there are many who are generally wen in public with their mothers. The.se Include Clifton Webb, Richard Watts, Bernard Sobel, Milton Rrrle and Ginger Rogers. Perhaps the most notable of the brother and sister combinations be fore their marriages, were Fred and Adrle AM Ire. He wss her constant escort and both were happier when theh chair edged. Together they were hilarious. Aran rather staid and silent. That demeanor is oltm Brady, M D. THE SCARED or hot as you prefer. Ordinary glass ful of milk, with cracker or bread or wheat biscuit, beginning as early as you wish In the morning, and at regular intervals of three hours all day and up to the last meal just be fore you turn In at night. The milk must be sipped leisurely and the breadstuff munched slowly: never gulp the milk hurriedly and above all never use It to wash down the food you ought to chew.

Do most people have sick stomach after removal of gall bladder? Has removal of gall bladder any very bad effect on health? (Mrs. D. A. W.) Ans. The gall bladder Is merely a reservoir for an ounce or two of bile. When It Is removed the gall duct carries on the function Just as well. So one can live long and comfortably and there Is no reason to have sick stomach after removal of this more op less vestigial structure. Memory What would cause a young person to lose his memory and be unable to concentrate? Do you know of any remedy for sinus trouble? (L. S.) Ans. Many disturbances or impair ments of health affect memory and capacity to concentrate Just as they do other functions of body and mind. Sinusitis, for Instance. General, hy giene, living habits, must be correct ed; conservative medical treatment by physician who treats nose and throat diseases; In a few cases minor surgical procedures are helpful. Read the book "Diet in Sinus Infections" and I regret to say "Colds." by Egon V. Ullman, M. D., MacMlllan Co., N. Y., 1933. (Copyright, 1936. John P. Dille Co.) Ed.

No actor has had so many on-agaln. off-agaln breaks. It became pro verbial that when he got his head above water some one swatted him with an oar. His life for ten years has been a Big-iag of dips from the top with domestc unhapplness. failures In "new ventures and law suits. Yet he has been his funniest when the outlook waa blackest. The red cheeked John Bull looking cutter at the meat shop may have air good solution as the next fellow. I asked him today what he thought about the world outlook.

Co mment the on Day's News By FRANK JENKINS HERE Is an interesting statement, culled from the news: "Since April 7, 1933, when modifi cation went Into effect, the federal government and the states have col lected more than 1,225,000.000 In liquor taxes and license fees." That Is a Ipt of money. OMPETENT authorities tell us that v at least 23 per cent or the price the consumer pays for liquor goes to the federal and state governments In the form of taxes. .If that Is true, it means that In the two and three-quarter years since prohibition waa modified the people of the United Staes have spent about FIVE BILLION dollars for liquor. That is at the rate of nearly two billion dollars a year. IF WE would all cut out liquor, and . turn over to the government the money we have been spending for It, we could pay off our present stagger ing national debt in about 18 years assuming, of course, that no more was added to the present debt total. - IN THE calendar years of 1934 and 1935, the federal government col lected $833,066,159 in taxes on alco holic beverages. That Is at the rate of considerably more than 400 million dollars a year. Your grandfather can remember when the TOTAL cost of running the federal government was only about 400 million dollars a year. Now 400 million dollars is only a drop In the bucket. WHY Is the cost of federal govern ment going up? Here Is one reason: On June 30, 1928, at the end of the Coolldge administration, the number of persons on the payroll of the fed eral government was 540,867. On June 30. 1932, at the : end of the Hoo ver administration, the number of persons on the federal payroll was 563,196. On September 30, 1935. about mid way of the Roosevelt administration, the number of persons on the fed eral payroll was 794,457. WHY have the federal payrolls gone up so rapidly? Well, it's this way: We've been steadily buying more and more government or at least having more and more government sold to us and as we get more and more government It takes more peo ple to handle It. fJERE Is something for all of us to A remember: Employes of private Industry are engaged In producing things which we eat and wear, or otherwise need or enjoy. Government employes are en gaged in producing GOVERNMENT, which we can't cat and can't wear and of which we need only a certain reasonable amount. In other words, the ipore govern ment we have, the less of other things we must get along with. (Continued from Faga One.) Wagner has been talking about. How ever, no announcement will be Issued to that effect. It may not be true, and probably Is not, but the diplomats here have been getting considerable enjoyment out of their Inside story about Ed ward VIII's first message to parlia ment. As you know, the king's speech comes from the throne, but the prime minister always reads it. In fact, he edits It beforehand. Mr. Baldwin was playing editor with the speech, which, in accordance with custom, Is always liberally sprinkled with references to the problems and destiny of the em pire and the supreme power controll ing the lives of kings and men. At one point, Baldwin scribbled In pencil: "Refer to A. O.." When the king's secretary received the speech back from Baldwin, he noted the ref erence and sent the particular pas sage to the attorney general. The latter spent several hours going through the passage but failed to find anything wrong. Next day he tok it to Bnldwln and asked specifi cally v. hat legal point he had In mind, "Oh." Baldwin Is reported to have replied. "I did not mean you. I meant the king should make another refer ence at that point to Almighty God."

You can appreciate how congress men feel about the Townsend menace If you will consider the predicament of a prominent house leader. Some weeks ago, he was dismayed to find two Townsend candidates opposing him in the primaries. What dis mayed him doubly later was the fact that one of them withdrew. Had ex-V ice-President Curtis lived a few weeks longer, he would have made his first speech of the 1936 campaign. He was slated to get (250 for a debate in an eastern city. The Townsend investigating com mittee, on the whole. Is stronger than the house average. At least three of the Investigators rank as first class lawyers. Incidentally, Speaker Byrns had diffculty in getting a committee. Several congressmen refused to serve. Congressional leaders were privately warned a few days ago to prepare themselves for an economy crack down by the White House at any time. The lack of inner New Deal co-ordination Is hinted by the fact that, while SEC Commissioner Landls was telling Prlncetonlans that people were buying too many stocks. Postmaster General Farley was telling Kansans that prosperity Is here. FORT WORTH, Tex.

As theso runes strongly resembla the Etruscan script of the 7th and 6th centuries It la considered pos sible that the latter obtained It from the Illyrlans. and that the entire pr Roman culture In northern and cen tral Italy may have been largely In fluenced by tho Alpine population. That Alpine Illyrlans migrated to the Balkans in pre-hlstorlc times. Y where they established a distinct cul- ture, is considered as an established ' fact. The ancient mine and, close to it, the miners' laree settlement mora situated at an altitude of 5.500 feet on tne Kelch-Alpe near Kltri.nah.l which la a popular Alpine akllne ra rest. The mine, which has hn ntnit- ed for about 13 centuries, was ex tremely rich, as one single gallery, ac cording to expert mining engineers, yielded 200,000 tons of raw copper In me course or 600 years. Production methods were surpris ingly well developed here In the 14th or 13th century. The mine waa surrounded by smel ters and refineries. Curiously, the refined metal wis not worked on the spot, since no trace of manufacturing so far has been discovered In the neighborhood. Bronze tools are comparatively rare among tho finds, tho conclusion b lng that the metal waa aent to fac tories whose location has yet to o found. The economic atructure of trua J mountain settlement Is of special In- 1 terest as, according to all Indications. ' It was a combination of mining and dairy farming. Possibly the aurplus of dairy products waa exported with the copper. It is considered possible that Kelci. Alpe, which doubtless was one of tha main copper production centers of the bronze era, was an Important cul tural center as well.
