From Thin To Plump
 Girls

The expressions of happiness and gratitude of several of his young. lady patients for whom he prescribed the recently successful flesh forming prod- uct known as three-grain hypo- nuclane tablets is related by a physi- oian in one of the medical publications and 1t comes as a surprise to the or tiinary layman to learn the heart throbs of distress which seems to af- feet SO many young people who are abnormally thin. Also to know that the weight can be so readily increased by the use, regularly for several months, of this peculiarly named prep apothecary shops in sealed packages with complete instructions for self administration.

Following this, guests dressed in costumes of Colonial and Revolutionary days began to arrive for an afternoon of quilting at the home of Jerusha Dow (ALary Wattles) who proved herself capable and enter taihing hostess.

he entered the service he was what was known as an auxiliary carrier, Major Wells being the regular carrier. The sal ary of the position at that time was $500 per year and after working at tlifs salary for one year he became regular carrier at salary of $S50. He is the only reg ular carrier in the service who has since continuous service since that time.
 When MT. Case entered the employ ment of the local postoffice President Ar thur was chief executive. filling out the the unexpired term of President Garfield. MT. Case was assigned the Washington street route when he went into the ser vice and for 20 years he had this route until a fall necessitated a change. He was then transferred to the Jail Hill route and later to the Thamesville route and now has the business section of the city At first MT. Case worked 10 to 12 hours per day and even later on some occasions Fs
 It is estimated that during his servive as mail carrier MT. Case has walked 15s, 420 miles, a record that is hardly likely to be equaaled by any other carrier in, Uncle Sam's service.
 MT. Case on Thursday received many congratulations on his birthday and many wishes for continued health, which is likely as MT Case possesses a re- fnarkable constitution

LEGION TO DISCUSS |
PLACE IN POLITICS
Ican't Remain Silent on Cues
tions Because They Are Po-
liticaI," D'Olier Asserts
POSITION MUST BE CLEAR
nv the Associated Press

Cleveland. Sept. 23.-One of the
most important questions to be uis-
cussed before the second annual conven-
,;on of the American Legion, which
opened here, Monday, is that of the
Iceion's participation in politics,
franklin D'Olier, national commander,
declared today.
"The Legion constitution states that
the organization shall be absoiutely
'nonpolitical, /" Mr.. D'Oler said, "and
shall not be used for dissemination of
partisan principles or for the promo
ton of candidacy of any person seeking
publc Office or preferment.
Legion men everywhere believe that
this provision is the fundamental prin-
cinle of the Legion's being. At the
same time they do not believe they must
ot all times be silent on certain mat
ters lust because they happen to be po-
litical. Where matters come up which
clearly involve the principles for which
the Legion stands, the Legion will not
hesitate to give its;-opinion in strong
terms
Lcmuel Bolles, national adJutant,
said that the Legion must participate
in politics. to certain extent, and not
take the political clause in its cons,ltu-
ton too literally.
This principle should be carried out
with Judgment" he said. "The Legion
should not side with any political party
or candidate, but it should take stand
on questions vital to the nations well
fare If we fail to do this, we will be
ucglecting a public duty"

Detroit Faces Close Do,u,,
OUing to Freight Tie-Up
Inability Of Automobile Plants
to Get Material or Ship Fin.
ishcd Product PrOves Serious


DETROIT, Mich, May 7.-Never be
fore in the history OF Detroit has the
freight situation been in such de.
moralized condition as it is at present
owing to the switchmen's strike. This
situation, instead of growing better, is
daily becoming worse. The return tc
work by the switchmen will, of course
case matters, but it will be many weeks
before conditions reach normal
Detroit is one Of the cOuntry's great
est manufacturing cities, not only in
the automobile industry, but in every
thing from pins to going fright
ers. Every freight house is filled to
capacity and the accepting of more
ceased weeks ago.
Inability of the automobile plants to
either get necessary material into the
city or the finished product out has
proved serious blow Every conceiva-
Bile place that will hold automobiles is
illed, and an average Of 1000 day are
being driven to distant points from De-
troit and Flint, Mich. Raw materials
especially steel, form the most serious
question with these ind lstres.
The railroad situation is exercising a
detrimental influence upon financial
conditions locally. Without an ade,
market merchandise, and delayed ship
ments tc market invariably mean the
tle-up of credit and huge unpaid loan
account.
The coal question is extremely ser-
Gus. What is on hand is being rapidly
exhausted, and the Detroit Edison Com
pany, to which a great majority of the
industries lock for power, is doing
everything possible to keep the plants
running on even a re luced schedule.
iderable coal is being shipped by
boat,~but these coal-laden "ships that
pass in the night" mean nothing to in
dustrial Detroit. A majority of the
boats are going to the ore region light
on account of inability to get the coal
from the mines to tie Lake Erie docks
With approximately 1000 carpenters,
plumbers, bricklayers and electricians
on strike, the housing question has
become more complicated and men are
beginning to leave the city by thou
sands in an effort to dodge the already
high cost of living.
Detroit, like other cities, is in need
of everything that is shipped by
freight, produce, coal, building ma
terial, automobile steel and acces-
sories. The real pinch is expected in
the automobile industry when it's pres
ent steel supply is exhausted and the
plants are forced to wait for the steel
mills to resume operation on some
thing like a normal basis. By many
it is believed a complete shutdown is
imminent. The financial loss up to TIE
present time cannot De estimated, but
is certain to run into many millions of
dollars.

Rail Strike Threatens
To Tie Up Buffalo Plants
Coal Is Not Being Received
in Sufficient Quantities to
) pplv the Industries

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
BUFFALO, May 10.-In spite of
optimistic reports by railroad officials.
freight movements in and out of this
city to-day are far from normal. Ship
ments are being sdetracked in large
quantities, and practically the only
commodities moving with any degree of
regularity are perishables. All roads
except the Pennsylvania have lifted the
general embargoes, but restrictions of
various sorts are being maintained by
every line.
Steel and packing plants here report
that their output is in danger of being
reduced if the strike continues, as but
a small amount of coal is reaching the
city.
A. j. Whitney, superintendent of the
Pennsylvania, said that freight move
ments were less than 75 per cent of
normal and that only twenty-fou train
crews were at work in the yards.
The New York Central, according to
Superintendent L. S. Emery, is running
almost normal" Eastbound freight
IS accepted for points only as far as
Newburgh.
The Lehigh Valley is operating about
ID per cent of normal, according to
officials, and strings of cars are being
sidetracked in the yards. The Erie is
operating on rs per cent basis. The
Lackawanna is not faring as we'll, ac
cording to officials, moving even neces-
sary shipments slowly. 1t is operating
about 30 per cent of normal.
None of the strikers has returned,
although there is said to be move,
ment among the older switchmen to
bolt the "outlew" ranks. Railroad
officials are firm in their declaration
