"They make yon want to be a Chinaman" remarked the building contractor from Pasadena, inhaling the last whjff of hi cirgaet and exhaling through his nose. "Yesl" we inquired speculatively not knowing exactly what the man meant or to whom he referred. "I mean these canaries from Hollywood" continued the gad faced gent disgustedly, as h swept a mournful eye from left to right over the assembly of pulchritudinons femininity, that fluttered through the hotel lobby from the dining room to the bar and visa versa. ' Chinamen tors: these cuties worship nothing but themselves and half the time they are too cockeyed to do that. Look at 'cm in their white slacks, and platinum curls, low brows and high heels, the scum of the earth I am telling you. If a quake could come alone and swallow up Hollywood, from soup to nuts, it would be the best thing that ever happened to southern California!" "As bad as that!" we observed, hoping he would go on, and perhaps give the wandering newspaper scribe more details re garding this modern Sodom and Gemorrah. But he had either decided he had had his say or found the response disappointing. At any rate he arose, pulled some loose change from his pocket and ambled over to play tne nicKei slot macnine. . . Having nothing better to do lemons and a plum clicked to a ine business is in Pasadena. "Well it's too good to be six months we have built over 20 homes in the Oak Knoll section alone high class stuff, from 10 to 25 thousand dollars, and sold 'cm as fast as we built 'em, in fact some of them before they were finished.. And cash on the line too. I don't know where the money is coming from or plenty of both. Do you know the Los Angeles district is second in the entire country, in building, an average of three million a month only beat by Greater New York, and including Brooklyn tool We remarked we had spent thought there waB very little as the business section of Wilshire was concerned. "Most of it is in the outside he explained. Not office buildings or factories. Pasadena is 12th in the entire country, in are going there to live than anywhere else in the U. S. A. Which as that a where I do my business, it suits me fine, feec that baby faced shrimp over there, j I..:. . . 1, . : .t, HHA.,Aa. -j,,Kl u: D;,l r j Borneo and drink, say you don't tell me, pal, I KNOW. ' And do you know what a the answer!" He turned away from the slot machine suddenly (which had been aa generous as most slot machines are) and faced ua pontifically' "The answer is this country is going dry, again! Yes sir, that's the answer. It would serve us right, too. If we can't handle our liquor, we oughtn't to have it . . ." ..... There was more to the conversation, but this gives the gist of it EXACTLY as it occurred, following the gay dinner which always marks Saturday night at these -"health" resorts of southern California. The contractor's view point struck us as rather unusual, for two reasons. In the first place he was no prude takes a drink himself now and1 then as he admitted in the second place there was no hilarious whoopee at the Soboba Hot Springs hotel. We expected it, but it never arrived. There was laughter, chatter, a certain exuberant camaraderie appar ent, also a fair sprinkling of "extras" from Hollywood but nothing noticeable in the latter direction aud no rough stuff at all. Lights were out by eleven and the place was as quiet as Tolo Junction. So what was wrong with our Pasadena friend! Perhaps he had suffered a shattered romance of some sort, or perhaps his chocolate sundae dessert had gone sour, What ever it was, that was the conversation as. it occurred and like other items in our wanderings about this sun-kissed state we present it for what it is worth. . . We have noticed this, however: in the three weeks we have been here and hereabouts one hears a great deal of criticism of Hollywood and the moral laxity it is alleged to represent. And also a surprising amount of adverse comment about drink ing and its increase. This was especially true in Pasadena, perhaps the contractor had fallen a victim to it. But he was so completely the reverse of the sanctimonious, straight-laced reformer type so obviously the rough diamond, he-man sort that, his unexpected outburst was, to say the least, surprising, and PERHAPS significant. Being at a hotel like this, far off from a railroad or civiliza tion, Hturk off alone by itself in the hills, is rather like being on a ship at sea. The guests are thrown into intimate associa tion whether they like it or not and naturally gravitate into more or less congenial groups. We have become quite well acquainted with an Austrian Jew from Los Angeles, who manu factures neckties. He came to this country as a boy, has worked hard, made his own way, and is now, we judge, of independent means, and probably for the first time in his life, inclined to take things a bit essy. Also for the first time disposed to observe the world s a whole, outside of his personal interests, and devote some thought to it, and to the political affairs of his own country. Not a man of education, or particularly well informed, we have been greatly struck by his native good sense, his tolerance, his genuine love for his adopted country, and his frank almost pathetic bewilderment. In sharp contrast to those who KNOW President Koosevelt is all wrong, as well as those who know he is entirely right; Mr. X frankly says he DOKSN'T know. He has a firm conviction there have been fundamental changes in this country and the world; the old days, he grants, are gone never to return, he gets this not only from his own observation but from relatives who write him from the Old World but as to just WHAT these changes are, just WHAT social, political and economic adjustments MUST BE MADE to meet them, in this direction he gropes for the light but can not find it. He doesn't know but he won't be happy until he HOES know and so this is what he is not a Republican or a Democrat, but a perplexed and rather frustrated son of the Old World and citizen of the New, searching for the TRUTH! We think it would be better for the country if there were more like him a few more who were not quite so cock sure, who were as indifferent as he is to prejudices and partisanship and as eairer as he is, just to find out what HAS happened and what HASN'T; what must be done and what need not be what, when all is said and done is the TTxl'TlI. and what isn't I R W.

Thla question applies partic ularly to the odd queries I some times select to answer here. To tell the truth a norel experience for a doctor I do edit most of the ques tions, and I take pains to alter minor points so that no one can possibly guess the source of the Inquiry. Still In truth I dare not print the strangest quer ies these I answer only by private letter. I do select for printing certain questions which seem Instructive even If only to show the multiformity of popular ideas about health and dis ease; and letters which I believe may do good but will not do harm, such as this: Dear Dr. Brady: Some one Inquired about a cure for cataract. I was a victim of the ailment and didn't see a thing for four years. I was treated by special ists In Oermany, France and differ ent cities abroad, without benefit. My grandmother cured me at home Just poulticing my eyes with fresh raw grated carrot. Also a wash so lution made of German Chamomile Flowers. I was also kept on the strict diet. When I was six yeais old I could see again and never had any more trouble. I can see well, sew a great deal and am very fond of reading and do plenty of It. I am 33 years old. I also drive the car for my his band a lot. I have never worn gloss es. (J. R. N.) The letter Is written In peculiar script with many Idioms dlfftcult to Intepret accurately, and unfortunate ly the correspondent did not give her address, so I am unable to obtain fur ther Information about the mat ter. Sometimes t think there should be a law well, too many people naively omit to give their names or address or omit equally Important things when writing a letter to which they expect a reply I Too many, use such meaningless terms as "Local or City" in lieu of the proper name of the place. Too many write anonymously, whether by Intent or- oversight. And eke and ouch, many, many too many tax a fellow beyond endurance with Inapposite apologies or remarks, such as a long quotation or something a fellow has written himself, or a pat ronising explanation of how the cor respondent happened to take his pen in hand, or an apology for haste or pencil. Raw carrots la one of the best nat ural sources of vitamin A. Lack of vitamin A causes xerophtalmia (dry eyes) and night blindness (nyctalo pia).

I begin to think It Is true that there la no such person aa Dr. Wm. Brady and that the stuff published under that name Is merely medical doctor's propaganda . . (A. A. P.) Answer This time you gave your address "City." Probably you did so the first time, and the pos toff Ice couldn't decide which city you meant. I don't know which city It is either. If you will keep uor credulity a bit longer and divulge the name of your city, I promise we'll have you rollin your dozen evern morning with the best of us. Incidentally I'll be glad to mall the monograph on the Somer saultaqua to a few thousand other crabld ginks who get up mornings with a hang-over grouch, if they will pay the freight you know, dumbell, provide a 3-cent-stamped envelope bearing your correct address. Don't say "Local" or "City." Come right out and name your town as tho you were not ashamed of it. The monograph tells what somersaults are for and how to turn 'em. It la Illustrated, so you can't go wrong. (Copyright 1036, John T. Dllle Co.) ! Ed. Note: Tersons wishing to communlconte with Dr, Brady should send letter direct to Dr William Brady, M.

Hlghest-ho of the actual reporter names I've always thought waa Ash by Deering. on the old Morning Tele graph. The Evening World had for a time a police run reporter with a drawing room moniker.

Sudden thought: I never bad a dog that waant wanting to get in or ou' when I waa trying to talk on the phone. Every six months or so writers are likely to receive a sheaf of clippings about themselves or their work, in the manner of a clipping service, from "Coxey." He la an Insurance man along the Broadway patrol, a kindly fellow with an unusual admiration for literary folk and sympathy for lean stretches often their lot. One of his gestures resulted In a windfall for the widow of a deservedly famous American writer. Out of his own funds. "Coxey" kept a policy going that, would have, due to a long Ill ness, lapsed. The widow thought she was facing the. world without funds. But along came a check for 9200.000. New York's best known Insurance man la probably Vash Young, a des cendant of the Illustrious Brlgham and reputedly the writer of the heft iest policies In town. He la a bald, beaming apostle of cheer who devotes one day a week solely to comforting those beached by the depression. He has authored several books of philo sophic pep one "A Fortune to Share" becoming a best seller and also lec tures and talks over the radio. He reverses the usual formula of the In surance solicitors by avoiding direct solicitation. You must bring up the subject yourself.

What they thought of Gongwer was even worse than what Gongwer thought of them. The Bulkleyltes Insisted on naming their Roosevelt pledged delegates. For' them. Mr. West also turned on hla sympathy signal. This news got out also. It not only caused con fusion, but both factions began to look at. Mr. West out of the corners of their eyes. It took some time to get every one back on the right track. Then. Just at the moment of agreement, Mr. West discovered that he had left the necessary papers In Col umbus, far. far away. If the op posing factions were suspicious be fore, they were thoroughly distrust ful at thla development. The papers were the detegate pledge slips which Mr. Roosevelt had signed and dven to West. Blank spaces were left for the names of the delegates finally agreed upon. There was nothing for Mr. West to do but go to Columbus and get hla papers. When he boarded the train, two heavy gentlemen took a seat right behind him. They were recognized as a couple of Gongwer strong boys who wanted to learn Just whom Mr. West wanted to see In Columbus and how come those papers got lost. No Whan the trio .aft the train at Columbus, two other stout men fell nonchalantly Into the procession. Of course they would be a couple of Bulkley bodyguards who wanted to see what the Oongwer body guards did to Mr. West. Fortunately (for Mr. west) ne found hla papers. The agreement on the Roosevelt alate waa effected without the firing of a single ahot The agreement permitted Gongwer to name his own delegates, nut noi himself. That waa all he wanted anyway. However, there la a movement afoot to divide the seats of the Ohio delegation at the Philadelphia convention. The Oongwer delegatea may be put on one side of the hall and the Bulkley delegatea on the other. At least both will be disarmed before being permitted to nter the hall. Despite all that Mr". West Inad vertently did to prevent a pro nnrunvit nr nut here. It con tinues to grow and grow. Factions which are flaying each other pub licly are all for Roosevelt.
