This has been advertised as a serious gathering for two main reasons: the legionnaires are no longer kids, most of them near their middle forties; and for the first time in the history of the organization there is another world war on, or at least a second war between Germany and the Franco-British alliance. . 0 We have an idea it WILL be more serious than any of its predecessors, BUT that doesn't mean there will be anything resembling a Quaker meeting or a Sunday school confcrencel The next door neighbor she happens to be a grandmother in her 70's, reports she never saw such goings-on, all in fun of course but rather frightening to one of her years, trying to catch her train, which left, around the cocktail hour. She says she was never so thankful to get out of a place in her life, and had she been forty years younger, she is certain she never would, at least in time to catch the 5:20. Around the Stevens hotel on the lake front was the worst. One portly war votcran was holding forth on the corner with a fake radio microphone, and invited every girl who came along to say something to the folks, regarding the Legion gathering. As the unsuspecting gal put her lips to the mike, it disappeared and she was smacked on the mouch, while the assembled multitude broke into gales of laughter. Then there was a 40 ct 8 engine upon the cow-cajcher of which girls were invited to sit, while they had their pictures taken.

To the Editor: In his communication of 35!h, Mr. Krause thinks we should drive a car on the left side of road. I think the right side Is right, but I do think that the driver of a car srtta on the wrong side. When horse-drawn vehicles were In vogue the driver always aat on the right side, and why the change I do not know. Put the steering-wheel on the itghthand aide; then put a white line on each edge of the roadway for the driver to follow, and I think there will be fewer collisions. Prom his position on left side of car the driver cannot see the edge of road, and It become natural for hi in or her to follow the Hue and may follow It too closely and some times get over It.

Addreu Dr. William Brady, 263 El Canilno. Ueverly Hills, Calif. HOW TO Vitamin A was discovered years after vitamin B, and ws at first confused with what has since been recognized as vitamin D because both are soluble In oil and occur together i In the fat or oil of the liver of fishes and the body fat or oil of fishes, oysters and to a limited extent In the body fat or fat- 1 1 k e sterols In nnlmals and man. In the yolk of egg. In milk and cream and but ter. Pro-vitamin A. otherwise called carotene, of which at least three forms are known, occurs In green and yellow plants such as carrot, greens, (lists of vitamin rich foods will be given later) and If sufficient of the foods containing It are In cluded In the dally diet It probably fulfils the body's requirements, but carotene has to be converted into natural or real vitamin A by metab olism In the body before It can func tion as a vitamin. Nutrition chem ists estimate that a considerable part of the carotene taken either In food or In the pure form as medicine Is loot because It Is not utilized by the body as readily as natural or real vitamin A Is when taken either In food or In concentrated form aa medicine. When insufficient vitamin A la provided In the diet or otherwise, there la a tendency to eye tnmble called Xerophthalmia, dry eyea, chronic Irritation and low grade In flammation, sensation as though "sand In the eyes," in unrecognized end unchecked cases advancing to ulceration of cornea and serious dam age to the eyesight. In milder cases the only noticeable manifestation of shortage of vltnmln A may be night blindness. Inability to see well In the du4c or dim light, or against the glare of approaching traffic In night driving. This fairly common condi tion Is a factor in many traffic acci dents at night. Sometimes It Is a factor In the loss of a Job. For instance, a moving picture operator became unable to see the signals or cues for starting a new reel small dots or points of light, until he tried taking natural vitamin A and then within a day or two he could see as cues as well as anybody and his Job was saved. A familiar test for nlght-bllndneew la made with an In strument by means of which the subject's ability to see small points or dots of light in ft totally dark field Is registered. It must be re membered, however, that other con ditions than vitamin A deficiency may be accountable for night blind ness, although certainy it can do no The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. WASHINGTON, Sept. 38. With war news so scanty, the widespread mis conceptions of the European military situation are not surprising. Never theless, It is surprising how far the common picture of the war varies from that of American military and diplomatic experts. These men, whose information Is as good as any In the world, are unanimous on the vital point. Ger many's only real weakness lies In her inability to reproduce her heavy Industrial factories. The plants mak ing large armaments, unprocessed Meel, and, above all, the huge and Intricate tools needed by other plants, lie exposed to attack from the i.ir at Essen and 'Dortmund, Bochem. Ptlsen and one or two other centers. The equivalent English and French plants are Just as exposed, but the English and Frepch have the re sources to rebuild, slow and painful as that process would be. Because of its effect on world opinion, each side has waited for the other to begin the war In the air in dreadful earnest. Sooner or later, this caution will be exhausted, and 'hen, as they are still markedly in ferior to the Germans In air arma ments, the EnRllsh and French will suffer seriously for a time. Essen- ' tally, however, American expert be lieve that the present stalemate will continue until the English and French can build up air striking power to attack the Germans where they are vulnerable. All of which explains the press ing Importance of reponl of the arms embargo, which not only prevents the placing of additional airplane orders, but la now holding in this country ft lans number of planes bought and psld for by the democ racies. In reaching their conrluslon. the expert, begin by brushing aside the large, easy misconception, which the scarcity of war news has nourished. (1) They lautfh wryly at the no tion that this Is.

Severe deficiency of vitamin A Is likely to be responsible for an ob stinate akin condition characterized by hard, dry red papules, the seat of the papule being the orifice of the sebaceous gland and the hair follicles In areas covered with down or hair, as the outer surfaces of the calves and forearms, sometimes the face where the trouble Is mistaken for acne (blackheads and pimples.) The therapeutic test Is equally harm less to try In these cases take 100. 000 units of natural vitamin A dally for a few weeks If the skin improves see to the A In your diet; If no Im provement occurs Inside of a month no harm done but It Is clear the trouble Is not due to shortage of vitamin A. Ql'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS Meat. Does meat contain vitamins, min erals or any essential substance which cannot be found In other foods? (O. R. H.)

D.. 365 El Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. news than anyone else, but they know enough to be sure the de mocracies are fighting or keeps. In addition to departmental reports, American officials have received such private testimony as that of an American lawyer recently returned from France. When the war broke out, he of fered the French war ministry a client's chateau near Paris for iuse as a hospital. Acceptance was delayed by formalities, until one morning the war ministry telephoned him to say that a tralnload of gas casualties was returning from the front, that it was desirable not to route them through Paris, and that the chateau would therefore be used at once. While waiting for a boat to take him home, the same man visited a coun try district, where the prefect, an old friend of his, told him that, of the 6000 men to whom he had sent mobilization notices, blue cards meaning death or disability had al ready been returned for 1500. These statements by a highly responsible man seem all the more ghostly, con sidering that thus far this Is sup posed to have been a virtually blood less and entirely gasless conflict. (3) The twin expectations that Germany will soon suffer a social crack-up or be soon starved out are considered quite groundless. Over a long period, the social crack-up Is thought possible. There are foci of discontent, such as the minora an gered by the stretch-out. the Czech population, and, curiously enough, certain powerful business groups. But three years Is the minimum period mentioned by the experts for the discontent to take effect. As for the notion that German re sources are Inadequate for fairly pro tracted fighting, American general staff statistics proving the contrary were printed In this space several months ago. At that time, the mili tary observers believed that the Germans had supplies for ordinary needs In a war lasting at least ft year and probably two. With Rumania's oil and the raw materia! of all Russia at her disposal Germany has THE CREST 213 West Main Street Is Now Under the Management Of Mrs. Margaret LeMoine We Will Feature Popular Light Lunches, Salads, Barbecue Sandwiches and Mr. Buckingham's Candies and Ice Cream supplies for at least two years and probably three. In making this fort cast, the experts take Into account the shortage of German tank cars, the difficulties of transport from Russia Into Germany and all the other hopeful factors so much re lied on by wishful thinkers. (The Germans' Inability to rep lac heavy Industrial plants la not affected, however, by their successes In east ern Europe.) With tbeae misconceptions out of the way, the experts note two pos sibilities of a slightly different class. Germany may change the face of the wsr by going through Holland, Belgium or Switzerland, but Is ex tremely unlikely to do so since these moves would open flanks unprotected by the westwall. Germany and Rus sia may also Join In a drive down through southern Russia Into Asia, endangering Irak. Iran, French Syria, and even the Sues canal. But this. too. Is thought unlikely. Thus, the military picture is re duced to a simple stalemate along the westwall and Maglnot line. As Germany Is adequately supplied, the war at sea can only have a delayed effect. The war on the land cannot be decisive. The war In the air must end by tipping the balance one way or the other. 1 liy FKA.NK J K.N KINS CHAIRMAN Die. of the house com mute, oh un-American activi ties snys the justice department ha. been ordered by the administration to weed out S850 communists from the government service.

The Germans say their alrplanea attacked a squadron of British ships and seriously damaged at least one. with no German losses. The British admiralty announces that one German flying boat waa shot down, another waa damaged and still another forced to descend In the North Sea, where a British destroyer was sent to "collect" It and ltt crew. The British announcement My. no British ship wa hit and th.ro were no British casualties. In the war news you "paya your money and you takes your choice." RUSSIA today (Wednesday) Is ac cusing little Esthonla of "har boring unidentified submarines." If Russia WANTS Esthonla, one excuse la as good as another. MOSCOW, where Russian, Turkish and Oerman diplomats are gath ered. Is much more Important In the war news todsy than the western front, where a show la belnjt put on but nothing much la happening In the way of real fighting. At the present stage of the war, what the diplomats are doing I. Immensely more significant than what the armies an doing.

The argument: Mr Roosevelt la Impulsive and yields read ily to his emotions, and to prevent him from doing something that un wittingly might drag America into war, the congress should remain In continuous session "for the dura tion." These apprehensive citizens feel that congress would act as a safety valve and If In session could serve a ft restraining force. It violates no confidence to report that this Irapetulatlc characteristic of Mr Roosevelt Is causing some uneasiness with a minor percentage of senators and representatives. No member relishes the thought of remaining in continuous session, but this can be accomlished by three-day recesses, with only a handful of members reporting and the others returning home, but prepared to race back to the national capital If need ed. No gentleman, of course. If the recess plan is adopted, would sug gest the absence of a quorum. That would not be cricket. Having the legislative branch keep an eye on the executive branch would not be politics, but precaution.

"Territorial waters" Is an elastic term and the President Interprets It to mean wher ever American Interests are concerned With or without a proclamation, the President Is expected to consider American Interests In the Pacific from a line drawn off the Alaskan coast, and beyond the Hawaiian Isl ands, the Immense triangle in which the Pacific fleet has held Its war games and possibly to the Philip pines.
