Postal Savings VS.. boarding

Congress can help the Hoover anti boarding cam
paign.
Uncle Sans postal savings system has become a
favorite bank in these hard times. And it can be-
come an even more important and helpful one if
congress will permit the deposit limit to be increased
Banking difficulties have sent people everywhere
to postoces to deposit their savings for people have
no fear of turning their money to the federal
government for safe keeping.
Effort is being made to permit person, now
limited to $4,000, to deposit as much as $4,000 or
10000 in his postal savings account.
This would be a splendid plan, for more than one
reason. 1t is calculated to draw more boarded money
out into the open and to help banks generally. For
the law provides that postal savings funds lent to banks
shall go to banks in the same community from which
the funds have been received.
Raising the limit would not injure the present
savings systems of individual banks for the govern
ment pays less interest than do the private financial
houses.
Postals savings completes only with boarding; and
boarding, all will agree needs very aggressive and
powerful competitor now.

VxTHEN Alfalfa Bill receives tn,

"A ~ ~S@~~N~~SS ~~~O
w gentlemen of the press, he
generally removes his shoes in order
not to scratch the table. But aside
from this concession to good form,
the Governor of Oklahoma presents
picture of rugged southwest in
dividualisn interrupted by the
nicetieS of Mammon manners.
1t will not suffice to call Bill a
she man." This candidate for the
presidency is even more aggres-
sively self-reliant than that. He
is, in fact, a me-man"
Accordingly, it comes as a shock
to this very distant admirer of AL
faIfa Bill to find that he is sitting
for his portrait in Washington
studio. And I believe that it will
cost him votes down among the
hills of Oklahoma.
1t is bad enough for Bill to go
to studio at all. People who
know their motion pictures can't
be fooled as to what goes on in
these haunts of the art artists.
Suppose, for instance, Bill had
been ushered into the den while a
model was silhouetted against the
north light.
How would Bill like that? And,
what is more important, what would
have been the reaction of hun
dred thousand honest citizens back
home?

A finder Box

OUCH a complicated state of af-
~ fairs leaves but one thing clear
and that is the possibility of war.
AS long as bombs and bullets con-
tinue to fall on Shanghai, as long
as men and ships of various ma
tions continue to gather there, and
as long as efforts for peace prove
unavailing, people throughout the
civilized world will be troubled by
the thought that war can occur.
And it can, even though no one
in responsible position wants such
a thing.
Shanghai is finder box likely to
be set off by any spark.
The situation is such that mis-
guided corporal could set the world
by the ears, just as a misguided stu
dent did eighteen years ago.

at all for whom Bill sat. His choice
fell upon a Hungarian fellow.
This is the sort of heresy which
may lead to accommodation. A
statesman has his picture painted
by some man from across the seas,
and before you know it that same
statesman has begun to order gou-
lash in public places and under
taken campaign for the repudia-
ton of all foreign debts.
And it isn't going to help Bill
much when Oklahoma learns that
the name of the artist who has con-
signed the Governor to posterity is
Adolphe Kiss.
How will that look in the school
books of a generation hence? will

his country, a reproduction of the

SINKING OF TUSCANIA
February 5

ON Feb. 5, 1918, the British ship
~ Tuscania, carrying American
troops, was sunk by submarine
off the north coast Of Ireland.
There we're 2,179 American SOL
diers aboard. First reports said
that there were eighty-two known
dead and 216 missing. However, 1854
bodies were later washed ashore
on the Scottish coast and buried
there. At that time thirty or more
had not been identified.
A number of the crew were
killed in the explosion in the en-
CINE room.
The soldiers were mostly ma
tional guardsmen from Michigan
and Wisconsin.
The Tuscania was torpedoed in
the early morning. Two torpe-
does were launched at the ship,
but one passed astern. Rescue
work was done by British de-
Stroyers and trawlers.

INVESTIGATIONS concerning vi
4 tamin A indicate that it bears
some part in the development OF
resistance to infection.
When animals are completely de-
prived Of vitamin A, their mucous
membranes in the respiratory tract
break down and afford easy access
to infective germs.
Hence it would seem to be de-
sirable to add a sufficient amount
of vitamin A to diets which are
deficient in this principle.
On the other hand, recent expert
ments carried out over periods OF
several months have indicated that
feeding of excess amounts of vita
min A did not prevent colds among
groups of children who were COM
pared with others not receiving ex-
cess amounts of vitanin A.
Certainly there is reason to be-
lieve that feeding Of sufficient
amounts of vitannin A is beneficial

Conventions Babel Setting
for Time onored PoIit-
icaI Trading.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, July Hot dog
stands and orangeade founts sup
planted the famous "smoke-fllled
room" as the locale Of high-powered
political trading before the Demo-
cratic convention began TO ballot
early today.
It was necessary for the leaders OF
both the Roosevelt and anti-Roose-
welt factions to be on the scene as
the convention dragged sleepily
through the night toward dawn.
Leaders of key" delegations with
whom they dealt had to stand by
with Their forces.
With the noise and din from the
stadium pulsing through and the
1abber of conversation of the stroll
lers, the Uttered corridors outside
were just as satisfactory for the
most private conferences as the cor
ner Of Forty-second and Broadway
Or, as they prefer it here, the cor
ner of State and Madison.
Hague Stands at Doorway
Frank Hague, the hard boiled
boss of northern New Jersey and 60
between for Alfred E. Smith with
others in the stop Roosevelt" drive,
stood at one of the doorways, lean
ing on his cane, receiving reports
from his aids
Except for the dapper appearance,
he might have been Tammany's one
time leader, Charlie" Murphy, who
was wont to lean against the lamp
post at Fourteenth street and do his
business.
William Gibbs McAdoo, eight
years ago the bitter foe of Smith
and Tammany, separated himself
from one conference and Hague
stopped him. The two chatted for a
moment-and the former secretary
OF the treasury, agile enough to be
twenty years younger, delicateIy
sided away.
Trifing, but Historic
That meeting-trifling as it NAV
nave been-was historic, for it sig
mined at least a show of harmony
between two elements of the Demo-
cratic party who only a few wears
ago were as wide apart as the
poles. 1t is peculiar alignment.
Roosevelt leaders-James A. Far
ley. Bruce Kremer, Senators G. G.
OH (Wash0 and Burton K.

quarters in smoking room upstairs.
which was the nearest they came
TO the famous "smoke-filled room"
now associated with the nomination
OF Warren G. Harding here in
1920.
Senator Huey Long Oa), one of
the most active in the Roosevelt
camp, was in and out of this room
rushing hither and thither about
the Corridors and the floor, the
starchleSs tails of his linen coat
Tapping half-heartedly.
Long pulled former Governor
Harry F. Byrd (Va) aside at one
point, and invited him upstairs for
a drink Of orange juice. This So
ciable gathering inspired reports of
possible negotiations for the votes

VERDICT IN HAWAII
WAR GAME WAITED
High Army and Navy Officers
Gather to Reach Off,
cial Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, February 15.-An old
question, who won the War?" bobbed
up in new form here today as high
United States Army and Navy officers
gathered data to decide offlclally the
outcome of the maneuvers ended Sat-
urday. -.
The war" between the Black
forces, defending the Hawaiian Islands
against an attempt of the Blue" fight
ers to recapture them. was over after
the Blue" fighters had succeeded in
landing an Army transported from the
mainland. The official result will not
be reached until after Thursday. when
high officers of both arms Of the serv-
Ice attack the question scientifically.
62 Ships in Attack.
The entire United States battle fleet
of So vessels participated in the at
tack, bringing into play the aircraft
carriers Lexington and Saratoga, 9 bat
tleships, 4 cruisers, 25 destroyers, sub
marines, 2 transports and auxiliary
craft. The ships carried about $4,000
officers and men, besides 600 Marines
and 600 soldiers.
The Black forces, representing an
enemy which had captured the islands
and was defending them against the
Blue attackers, had only $4,000 men
and 750 officers and were inferior both
in airplanes and ships.
Blue forces maneuvered six days be-
yond the range of coast defense guns
sending airplanes to theoretically
bomb Black defense positions and es-
tablishing a base at Hilo, 200 miles
from here, before landing troops.
What Game Proved.
Some of the lessons of the maneu-
vers as related by officers were:
That the defense forces, outnum-
bered two to one, demonstrated the
increased efficiency of airplanes oper-
ating from land bases over those func-
tioning from ships.
That the Army doesn't like to get its
feet wet Soldiers landing in small
boats were inclined to follow one an
other over the bow in jumping to dry
land. But the Marines tossed their
waterproof equipment over the side and
waded ashore.
Army airmen flew more than $4,000
miles during the maneuverS. The Army
and Navy each lost one plane, forced
down at sea. There was some minor
damage to planes, but not one injury
to personnel during the operations.
