Dementia Desertania
Attacks Militia

Headquarters Washington National
Guard, Calexico, Cal, Aug. s.-For the
first time since their arrival from the
northwest, Washington troops today
found use for the scorching sun. Old
Sol is made the goat for nearly every
breach of discipline in eamfp. Troopers
blame nearly everything on the heat.
: From the time the mercury passes the
100 degree mark and shoots on up to
10 or 15 degrees above, "affected by
the heat" seems to be the universal
alibi.
Thus, today, when several guardsmen
were called to appear at headquarters
for venturing too close to Mexicali
gambling houses across the border -
which happens to be across the street
here, each man held the desert heat re-
sponsible.
The alibi is becoming so common that
surgeons of the hospital corps have
termed it "dementia desertania.
Dementia desertania is an amazingly
contagious affliction they say.

DR.. Harding got her name, Eight

enforced it after ousting one school
board and arresting another on Grim
inal charge of selling illegal school
books, "bootlegging school books, "
she called it.
Another name, "lnjunction" Hard

injunction restraining the city of
Topeka from making ''park for the
rich" and another restraining the
street car company from going down
Eighth street when it had promised to
60 down Tenth.
"Is it any wonder 7 am called a
