GET DELEGATES
CRY CANDIDATES
FOR STATE SEAT
GovernofShip AapIrants See
Little Hope of Nominations
In Primary a.

A final drive for delegates to the
State convention is being made by
candidates for Governor in both
parties this week. April 16 is the
last day for filing petitions Of can
didates for these places.
Candidates Of both parties are
agreed that there is little possibility
of nomination in either primary. be-
cause Of the rule that candidates
must have a majority Of all votes
cast. For this reason. at least as
much attention is being given to fling
Of candidates for delegates as to OBJ
tanning votes, although it is expected
the candidates with the highest num-
Der Of votes will have the advantage
in the convention.
Khan Fights Indicated
It is reported that IN many counties
names of Khan and anti-Klan dele
gates are being filed without much
regard to their stand for candidates
for Governor. This is taken as-an in
dication that Khan fights may be ex-
pected in the conventions, with pos
sible attempts to write platform planks
on the subject.
In connection with the Khan issue
there are persistent reports that
Mayor George r. Durgan Of Lafay-
cite, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, is making
gains among the anti-Klan element.
He Is seeking office on a platform OF
opposition TO the Khan. Durgan head
quarters have been opened at the Odd
Fellow Bldg.
Soft Pedal Used
On the other hand, It Is reported that
friends of Mayor Shank, who is seek
ing the Republican nomination, are
attempting to soft-pedal the kim
issue. Shank at the beginning of his
campaign openly opposed the Khan,
but not much has been heard from his
camp on the subject recently.
Since the campaign started there
have been reports that this or that
candidate would withdraw. Thus far
there have been no Withdrawals. Fri
day is the last day on which a can
didate may withdraw his name.
II there are no. Withdrawals up to
that time the names Of eight Demo
Gratis and Six Republicans viii appear
on the ballots as candidates for Gov
ernor.

EARLY TRADING SLOW
TheWALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK, April stocks were
in a state of suspended judgment at
the start Of the week awaiting publ
cation of the Dawes report. That
European financial markets expect
favorable results from this develop
ment was evident from the action Of
sterling, which gained about a cent in
preliminary dealings.
Although no definite date has been
fixed for the announcement of the ex-
perts' findings, Wall Street had hoped
that they might be made public over
the weekend, and some disappoint-
ment was reflected in the sluggishness
of the general list in the early trad
ing. But this was manifested in the
falling off of dealings rather than in
any substantial losses in active stocks,
which were sustained by General
Dawes formal statement that the re-
port would be ready Wednesday.

INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC
EVENTS ON FASHIONS

The present craze for oriental colors
and designs which is sweeping the
country, is more or less a direct out
growth of the interest centered in
Egypt due to the successful archeo-
logical expeditions being conducted
there.
The eyes of the world are turned
toward those ancient tombs which are
yielding their secrets of long gone
days. The success of the explorers is
triumph in which the whole world
wants to share.
The designers and manufacturers of
textile fabrics are expressing their in
terest by, bringing forth bewildering
array of materials, oriental in color
and design.
The dress designers are creating cos
tunes which they know or think to
be Egyptian in line and feeling.
The merchant is filling his shop with
these costumes and his shelves over
flow with riot of color and design.
The jeweler and the bootmaker will
make their wares in keeping with the
rest Of the costume, as will the manu-
facturer of every dress accessory
known to woman.
The feminine world will array it
self in a coat Of many colors and
fashions decree will be executed.
Surely King Tut in all his glory
was never more magnificent than he
is now in memory.
Strange that king of dead and
gone civilization should be the arbiter
his time? Not so strange at that. Pub
lie events have always made their I'M
press on the fashions Of the day.
In olden times when coats of mail
were part of mans war equipment, the
clothes were tight fitting, so that the
coat of mail could be worn over them.
The women's clothes were reflection
| of the mems. In times of peace they
were apt to be loose and flowing. The
military feeling was present In the
styles Of 1914-1918
We never go through presidential
election without featuring new color,

land. Not sc long ago our shop win
dows were filed with Mrs. Harding

bered as the favorite color of Presi-

Kings and queens and others who oc-

ESSAY CONTEST is
NOW IN PROGRESS

The third annual essay contest of
the American Legion began April 1
with the chosen subject, why Com
munism Is a Menace to Americanism."
This contest, conducted by the Ameri-
canism commission of the Legion, Is
held annually with view of enlisting
a majority Of thought in the direction
of some vital question facing Americas
citizenship.
Heretofore the contest has closed in
the fall, but in order to coincide the
work with that of the school year Gar
land w. Powell, director of the Lee
gion's Americanism commission, decid-
ed to open the contest in the spring and
close it with the completion Of school
terms.
According to Mr.. Powell, 100000
school children participated in the last
contest held by the Legion, which took
as its subject, "Why America Should
Prohibit Immigration for Five Years"
A previous contest conducted by the
Legion enlisted efforts of 100000 chill
dren, who submitted essays on the sub
ject How the American Legion Can
Best Serve the Nation"
Each of the subjects chosen reflects
some phase of American Legion activ-
ity and the Legion view of such poll
cies. The Legion believes that by
bringing the subject before the chill
dren of the nation it can cause dis
cussion in many American homes that
will be of vital import to the welfare
Of America.
Prizes aggregating $500 are award
ceives $3.50 in cash, to be applied as
scholarship in any school, college or
university he may designate. Second
receives $500 and third $3.50, each for
scholarships. The essays are chosen
by elimination. Beginning with the
county superintendent of schools in
each county, who selects local judges,
the three most representative essays
are sent on to judges designated by the
state superintendent, superintendent
of public instruction or school commits
sion. These judges pass on the three
best essays submitted in the state.
The winning essay from each state is
sent into national competition, from
which are chosen the three winners by
a committee of judges selected by the
Legion. Posts frequently give medals
and awards to, winners in their own
counties, state departments of the Lee
gion provide medals for the three
winning essayists there and the cash
awards are made by the national
judges.
The cooperation of practically every
educational official in the country has
been afforded the Legion since these
contests have been instituted. In adj
ditiop, educational bodies and organi-
cations have accorded the Legion a
great amount of help. Efforts have
been made this year through some Of
the nations largest fraternal bodies to
concentrate the efforts of school chill
dren in the contest.

FORTY AND EIGHT"
AIDS LEGION POSTS

The Forty and Eight-the play

proving a valuable adjunct to the par
ent organization in many instances.
Certain problems arise in Legion posts

gion, usually successfully.
This has been true of the organiza-
ton practically since Its formation by
Joseph W. Breen, Philadelphia, In
1921. Originally intended to express
the joyousness of the veteran, the So
ciety has taken over many arduous
duties to perform that the Legion has
been unable to meet on account of it's
more cumbersome organization.
In recent months this has been seen
in national way. In addition to play

HOME HINTS
AND DIET
By iNEz sEARLEs WILSON
DIGEsTIBILITY OF CHEESE

Is cheese as indigestible as 1t is
| ordinarily credited with being? Elk
perinents carried on by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture In cooperation
with the Bureau of Animal Husbandry
seem to show that this is not the case.
These experiments were conducted
with young men as subjects They
were given a diet consisting Of bread,
American cheese and fruit. The re-
suits proved that over 80 per cent Of
the protein was digested and that 80
per cent of the energy was available
| and there were no evidences Of diges-
tive difficulties.
The digestion of the protein of
cheese takes place in the intestines
rather than in the stomach and this
may be the cause of the general opin-
ion that cheese is "heayy" food.
There is a large amount Of fat
present In cheese and it forms coat
ing around the protein. This makes
it difficult for the digestive juices to
reach the protein and thus the diges-
tive. processes In the stomach are re-
tarded
Distress, due to eating cheese, has
been attributed to the presence of free
fatty acids which are produced dur
Ing the ripening process. The same
condition may be brought about by
cooking cheese at temperature so
high that the fat Is decomposed and
fatty acids freed
Further experiments, In which the
energy required to digest cheese was
measured, prove that the same amount
of meat is assimilated no more easily.
In order to lessen the length of time
that cheese remains in the stomach, 1t
should be taken in as finely divided
a state as possible. Careful chewing
will help. The practice of eating
crackers with cheese, especially soft
cheese, is a great aid in separating
the particles. Hard cheese is more
readily reduced to small pieces Melt
ing cheese and mixing 1t with other
foods is the very best way of making
1t possible for the digestive juices to
reach the protein.
The use of baking soda and other
like alkalies has been recommended
for making the cheese more digestible
In that it renders the protein soluble.
Experiment does not bear out this
claim The alkali does neutralize the
fatty acids which may or may not be
an advantage as it affects the favor OF
the cheese.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted to prove the value of cheese as
food. The results have been very
satisfactory. Not only is 1t a highly
nutritive food, but it is in a form
which can be assimilated by the body
without the expenditure of undue en-
ergy. 1t does not cause digestive dis
turbances. 1t may be combined in mum
berless ways with other foods to make
attractive and palatable dishes in
which both fat and protein are fur.
nished in an economical form.

IotUa Post Plans to
Render Civic Service

Tama, Ia, is but small city, but
the Legionnaires there, sensing need
for definite performance of some civic
duty, have hit on fourfold plan which
they believe will bring their town into
national prominence.
The first undertaking of Tama Lee
gionnaires will be to establish a free
dental clinic in the public schools.
Next, the post proposes the opening
Of a series of Fairgrounds in the city.
The third move of the Legion men
will be to open tourist park near
Lake Cherry, a favored spot with au-
tomobilists, and the last, but not the
least important to the community will
be safeguarding of the milk supply of
the city, which community leaders de-
clare will be Of greatest assistance.

Winter Outing Club
NeO Legion Enterprise

A Winter Outing club is the latest
enterprise of the American Legion and
the Forty and Eight voiture in Keen,
N. H. Imagine, If you can, the thrill
of a tenth of-a-mile slide far up on a
hillside, to the landing chute in the
valley, many feet below.
For a long time, the chamber OF
commerce in Keen had been endeavor-
ing to build up an interest in winter
sports, but without great success. Pre-
vious attempts to construct tobog-
gan slide had failed. But when the
Legion men took up the proposition,
the busy ring Of hammers of carpen-
tiers was soon heard and the slide soon
became a matter of fact. One of the
first to make the trip down the long
slide was Past National Commander
Owsley who got a perfectly good thrill
shooting down the hillside through the
pine-clad country. The slide was con-
structed under direction of Prof.
Charles Proctor of Dartmouth college,
an expert.

the Forty and Eight is extending con-
tact for the national officers of the Lee
gion by personal visits to many sec
lions that the organization leaders
will be unable to reach during the
year.
Robert ]. Murphy, chef chemin de
fer, or principal officer of the society,
has had outlined for him seven
months tour which takes him into
practically every state. Murphy, with
a Legion spirit born of association
with organization affairs in Iowa,
where interest Is usually at food tide,
has responded cheerfully to the task
and is meeting with a splendid recep-
ton wherever he has gone. Choosing
as his subject 1.-THE objectionable
SIM" which he says is just way Of
telling the veterans that you can't
take anything out of the Legion with
out putting something in, the Forty
and Eight head is speaking before
large groups of Legionnaires.
Following a trip through the Cen
trail West, after national headquarters
of the society had been opened in In
dianapolts, Murphy has been visiting
Legionnaires on this extensive tour.
He went into the South, covered ten
states thoroughly, and in addition to
boosting his own organization was the
center of much real Legion activity.
Next he journeys to New England and
will wind up his tour and term of Of
fee with long trip through the West,
ending at st. Paul, the convention city,
in the fall.
He has been closely associated with
Legion affairs since his return from
service. He organized post In his
home town, Nora Springs, Ia, and
served as county commander of all
posts there. He was named to the Of
fee in the Forty and Eight, and re-
ceived national recognition at San
Francisco because of his advancement
of the society's aims.
During the war Murphy served as
an instructor In the Officers Training
school at Camp Pike, Ark. He was
discharged from service with the rank
of first lieutenant of infantry.
