Boy of seems perfectly healthy in
every way. except that he grinds his
teeth in his sleep He has done so
for year past. He is not nervous
and has we'll balanced diet.-(Mrs
S. b.
Answer - Many h ildren have
worms, whether they have any symp-
toms or not. Careful investigation
has proved that gritting the teeth in
sleep is as likely to occur in children
who have worms as it is in children
who haven't worms. The grinding of
the teeth may be due to local irrita-
ton which calls for the advice or
services of the dentist, or to some re-
fleX irritation, for instance irritation
Of the bladder by excessively acid
urine, which calls for the advice of
the physician. Sometimes a largely
vegetable and fruit diet will suffice
to correct this excessive acidity. Such
child should have the benefit of
exposure of the naked body to SUM-
shine, and perhaps course of cod
liver oil.

Hoover Coming West

Information on the grapevine out
OF Washington is that President
Hoover will make a western trip be-
fore the election. His original plans
according to official announcements
early in the campaign, were to re-
main at the capital and to make few
speeches. Recent developments, how
ever, have changed all that.
To so-called inside" information is
that the President is certain to visit
the pivotal states of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, all of vast Importance in the
political picture, and may even pene
trate farther into the cornbelt.
1t he gets west of the Mississippi
river he probably will touch more
definitely on the farm question ant
if he does his declarations will be
watched with interest.

Bob leading, they entered the great
glass-covered patio and walked
down a long lane of tables ringed in
cigarette smoke. Surrounding the
patio crowded tables were scattered
in the half-light about the cleared
space that Mendoza held for the
dancers. A babel of voices, English
and Spanish. rose to greet Don Bob.
Walters hurried among the tables,
and everywhere Ted was conscious
Of the hair and shoulders of women,
and of the appraising scrutiny of
men. AS Ted passed, several of the
women raised their eyes, stopping
for a moment to follow his broad
shoulders. Enviously one dance hall
girl whispered to another. There's
caballero for you," then turned
YEARLY back to her companion.
Already both men has passed
through the low adobe arch into
the patio itself, where, under the
ever-changing lights cast from above,
two dancers were weaving a slow,
sensuous tango for the pleasure of
Mendoza's varied clientele. A waiter
was bowling before them.
"A table for two, Senior Don Bob?"
They sat down outside the circle
of light, and for a time Don Bob
smoked in silence.
THE man l want isn't here" he
said at last. He rose. "Sit here and
watch the dancing, Ted. III be back
within the half-hour."
Musingly Bob looked at the room
filled with women, whose perfume
and laughter rose like a spell about
them. Il leave you" he said, among
many attractive playfellows. You
know these border people call Men
doza's the end of mans DESIRES 1t
always seemed little misleading
to me, that phrase. So cuidado."
Beyond the patio Bob turned and
mounting narrow stairway, climbed
to the upper floor. then passed down
a darkened passage at the farther
end of which yellow lamp cleaned
Before closed door he stopped and
knocked.
"Quien esq" Fresh and clear a
woman's voice came through the
door. An eager voice, and again
came the question, this time re.
peated in English, "Who is it,"
For answer Bob turned the knob
and entered.
A girl was sitting there. White
dead-white, her face was-almost toe
white, although it served to make
still larger the great dark eyes, and

Legion is For Bonus

BY all overwhelming vote the Am
erican Legion declared for immediate
payment of adjusted compensation,
otherwise known as the bonus.
One little-known reason for this is
the competition for membership
which exists between the Legion and
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars.
When the Legion was stampeded
into declaration against the bonus
n year ago at Detroit, the result was
a tremendous howl from the rank and
file of its membership. Just how
strong that bareback was can be esti-
mated from the vote cast on the
question by North Dakota Legion posts
last winter. At that time only a few
months after the Detroit meeting,
many posts cast a 100 per cent vote
for immediate payment.
Meanwhile the Veterans of Foreign
Wars had taken an aggressive stand
and began weaving away many men,
bers of the Legion on the ground that
it was truly representative of the de-
sires of the ordinary veteran.
Feeling this pressure, the Legion de-
cided to consult its membership on
the question and the decision was un-
mistakable.
declared for immediate payment of
the bonus that the vote at Portland
was mere formality.
1t is regrettable, however, that the
Legion did not, insofar as press re-
ports show, take any steps to correct
the many abuses which have grown
up in connection with disability COM
pensation. This is costing the gov
eminent more than a billion dollars
yearly and the burden on federal
finances has grown almost intolerable.
Indications are that strong demands
for revision of these allowances will
be made on the next congress and
that the Legion will be in a difficult
position If it attempts to justify the
payment of disability compensation to
men who are so we'll able to work that
they are drawing big salaries in pri-
vate life.
The veterans organization would
have been in much stronger position
with the public had it initiated a
movement to clean up the obvious
abuses in this department of the gov
ernment, even though it is only par
TALLY responsible for them.

some reason. When I was young
ster in Hollywood, Owen was sitting
pretty close to the movie peaks. In
the act, short film appears wherein
he is cast. A gag requires that he
shoot the screen figure from the
stage. One of the lines requires him
to say to the screen reflection:

enunciation was of the dramatic

were monotonously intoned. The

reason, few of the screen people have
become stage successes. Lily Damita

MYTHS ON WHICH THE MARK
ING SUPERSTITION THRIVES
I seen YOUR article on Non EXL

I seen your article on Non-EXplod-
able Superstition, writes Califor-
Man. I beg to say I know of four
cases of markings as follows ;.
young man selling books had lost an
car in an accident. He rang doorbell
and Mrs. was startled so on
seeing the young man that when her
son was born he had only one ear
They owned large dog. One day
the dog came up behind her chair
and put his paw on her hand where
it rested on the arm of the chair, and
when her child was born it had de-
formed hand ., One-armed stage
driver left package on the porch and
stopped to tell Mr.. and Mrs. --
he had left the package. When the
child was born to this couple his left
arm was missing and he drove horses
as did the stage driver ;. Mr.. -
ran a store and he done most of his
own butchering. One day he came
home with a spatter of blood on his
cheek. His wife was startled because
she thought he had been hurt, and
when their son was born there was
a red mark on one cheek My
mother burned her foot when young,
so that one toe drew down under the
others. 1 was born with both feet
with toes drawn down that way -.
Well, now, folks, without abiding
to the Californian's obvious ignor-
ance of embryology and other things,
isn't it all pretty silly stuff for grown
men and women to retail? Especially
the one about the family dog putting
his paw on the eXpectant mothers
hand - might have been more i'm
pressive if it had been some strange
dog, perhaps rather mad one with
foam on his mouth and fire in his eve
and all that sort of hokum. But to
ascribe any such congenItal defect Or
abnormality to the affectionate ges-
ture of the faithful old dog is-Well,
it goes to show how much these SUI
perstitious people will strain the
facts to make a story, story cruelty
and viciously calculated to keep ig-
norant expectant mothers in a con-
slant state of anxiety or terror lest
some such marking" occur to them.
Only ignorant people take such SUI
perstitions seriously. If our common
schools properly taught our youth
then every schoolboy and every
schoolgirl would know as much as I
do about such matters and no pros
pective mother would ever worry a
little bit about the marking super
stition.
1t is not only people who say "they
was" II SEEM and che done" that
are readily deluded about this and
many other superstitions affecting
health. Plenty of high school and
college graduates are ignorant and
credulous concerning such matters.
Precious little human anatomy, ply
siology and hygiene is taught in high
schools or colleges. The quack and
nostrum interests see to that, for
they prefer the picking as it is now.
