TT has been week OF conventions,

Army drive. The term "circus"
might apply equally to some con-
ventions, but those OF the South
ern Sociological Congress and the
seventy-ntth ANNUAL session OF tae
Southern Bsptists, and [ he first
annual convention OF the American
Women's Legion were all OF them
quite demure and orderly. Nothing
in the least suggestive OF circus
about them. but on the other hand
the two-day meet OF the army and
postal asroplanes, put on come really
'circussy" stunts out at Boiling Field,
and attracted a good deal OF stteD'
tion from those who knew what was
going on. ~ "a e ~

That the President should begin

no surprise to those familiar with dip
