KNOTTY PROBLEMS

At FIFTH MEETING
Bonus, Disarmament and Care

10000 ANE ATTENDING
Elaborate Program of Business
and Entertainment Faced By
Legion Convention

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. H.
San francisco has surrendered. The
Golden Gate metropolis capitulates
in the face Of On invading horde of
10000 American Legionnaires and
turns over the keys of the city to
veterans of the World War, who
Will constitute an army of occuppa-
ton during the legion's fifth an
nual convention here, Oct. Is To
10.
The convention will be a combina-
ton of work and play. There will
be division reunions, parades,
dances--even fleet maneuvers-to
regale the ex-servicee men. And
there will be serious business.
Problems expected To be in the 1ore
front of debate when the legion as
! sembles include:
Measures urging more stringent
immigration laws.
A program for solving the prob
lens of disabled war veterans.
PROVISION for orphans of World
War veterans.
A more strenuous Americaniza-
ton program.
An international aid disarma-
ment conference.
And, last but not least, the old
question of adjusted compensation.
Bonus Up Again.
The problem of adjusted compen-
satlon, or national bonus, may
furnish most of the smoke at the
legion's sessions. 1t is not unlikely
that the election of national com
mander will hinge around the bo-
nus battle.
The question, it is believed, will
come up in the form of resolu-
ton advocating that Congress pass
compensation measure. That Con-
gress will do so at its next session
is conceded by some of the bonus
foremost opponents, including Con-
gresham Theodore E. Burton of
Cleveland. But, according to fore
cast, the bonus question will be-
come involved with amendments,
notifications and provisions to
such an extent that the measure
will occupy much of the eonven-
tons time.
Legion leaders, it is predicted,
all will be drawn into this debate,
and thus it may become he real
battle-ground for the commander
ship candidates.
Immigration Laws.
More stringent immigration laws
will be urged as part of the legion's
light against radicalism. Advocates
argue th&t the manpower already
IN the countly is ample for the
work hers, and Jhat laXer immi9ra-
clon laws will create an unwelcome
and unemployed surplus. The sup
ply of unAmericanized foreigners,
~hey contend, more than taxes the
machinery for Americanizing them,
and they will propose suspending
XII immigration for five years.
Provision for orphans of World
War veterans will be advocated in
two measures, one arguing for
national home and the other pro-
posing their care be a matter to
be handled through state divisions
Questions concerning the still UNI

Destroys Health and Causes Pre-
mature Degeneration of al Vital
Organs

You are a wise man or woman if
you understand your colon and keep
it in perfect working order. Health,
happiness, vigor and long life are
the gifts which an active colon gives
you-and a lazy colon takes away.
Your colon is the last five feet of
your digestive canal. 1t is your sew
erage systemi your garbage can, so
to speak. Keep it clean and you are
we'll and happy; let it stagnate and
it will distill the poisons of decay,
fermentation (gas) and putliefae-
ton into your blood, poisoning your
brain and nerves so that you are
restless, irritable and blue; poison
ing your heart so that you are
weak, listless and lazy; poisoning
your lungs so that your breath is
heavy or foul; poisoning your stom-
ach and digestive organs so that
you are bloated, belching and I'M
comfortable with gas pains; poison
ing your blood so that your skin
looks yellow, sallow and unhealthy;
poisoning every part and organ of
your body, through your blood,
making you look and feel old and
ugly long before your time; making
your joints and your back stiff and
rheumatic; your eyes duh and your
brain sluggish.
By the perfect law of Nature,
your colon should empty itself three
times day-within an hour after
eating. Does your colon work that
well? If not, it has lost it's tone.

BARN BURNED

IlFION, Oct. 1.-THE large
barn of Mr.. r. F. Payne, of Vance
VILE, was burned recently, with
all its contents. The loss includ-
ed eleven tons of hay, a two-horse
wagon, Buick automobile, two
cows and calf and one hog. Mr..
Payne is in Florida at present and
it is not known whether he had any
insurance on the barn or not. The
barn was new one being built
last spring and was about so by
100 feet.

are absolutely and irrevocably lost to
the owners.
1 asked if it were true that some
garages had faxed floors built in for the
purpose of hiding stolen cars. Here's
what 1 learned
"They certainly have. There's one. for
instance, in Cambridge, Mass, which has
only single floor when you go into it
and examine it. In the rear is solid
looking brick wall, but it isn't really
brick, but just painted to look like brick.
Well, in the back Of the garage there is
an old stable, not more than fifteen or
sixteen feet square, with dusty old win
dows, closed tight with packing boxes,
&C. The inside of this stable is nothing
but hidden elevator which leads to the
hidden top floor, where there is room for
nearly twenty cars. All the stolen cars
are on that floor, being taken apart and
changed, until ready to be driven around
to prospective purchasers. This garage
was built for the crooked business"
I was wondering whether there were
many garages engaged in this business,
and asked the question. He shook his
head:
mo. There cannot be more than one
or two in each section or district because
the competition would be strong enough,
if there were more, to have one try and
put the other one out of business by an
anonymous letter to the police or the in
surance companies. But two or three
garages can take care of all the stolen
cars disappearing in city like Boston;
not more than eight or ten handle the
whole stolen car business in New York,
and in other cities in proportion. Here
and there you will find a fence in the
open country usually between two large
cities, or on the rum traffic lines to and
from Canada"
And with that soothing information he
was compelled to stop, for the officer in
charge informed us that the time allow
ance of the interview had expired and
that the ex-auto thief would have to go
back to the shoe shop, there to cut hides
into "uppers" for an honest mans work
ing shoes.

Hunting Wild Boar in Honolulu

is worth all the trouble required because
it is feast fit for the gods.
Goat hunting in the Hawaiian Islands
is found around Mount Haleakala, which,
by the way, is the largest extinct vol
cano in the world.
A small one room house made of stone
has been erected there and the only water
one can secure is rainwater, which runs
from the roof of the shack into tank.
The goats are quite plentiful down in
the valley; in fact l counted twenty-seven
in one herd and several small bands could
plainly be seen grazing near by.
While It only takes less than an hour
to go down to the bottom of the canyon
it takes six hours to climb out, which, no
doubt, explains why so few hunters ven
ture there.
Another great drawback is that there
is only one place in the valley where
water can be found, and then one has
to be thoroughly familiar with the dim,
narrow trail that leads to a natural basin
which is kept filled by the rainfall.

out of fishing for sharks few miles from

~ PORTSMEN who contemplate Wis
iting Honolulu will find but very
little use for rifle, as the only
big game found there are wild boars and
goats.
The rifle is not used in hunting wild
boar because the brush is SO dense that
it is almost impossible to get action
with a gun, consequently sportsmen
hunt the wild boar with dogs and when
the animal is cornered it is shot with
a revolver.
Whenever the natives get wild BOAR
they have what is called Luau. They
dig a hole in the ground about four
feet square and four feet deep, at the
bottom of which is placed several rocks
heated to very hot temperature, over
which are placed banana leaves and
palms. The boar is carefully cleaned and
then stuffed with bananas, sweet pota-
toes, nuts, and then filled up with small
hot rocks. The pig is inclosed In
gunny sack or burlap and is lowered
upon the bed of leaves and palms. A
blanket is thrown over the hog, and the
hole is then filed with banana leaves and
palms 1t takes about three hours to
properly prepare genuine Luau, but it
