The COnUentiOn?-Just q Gag

A N afternoon in Buffalo has taught me that
n legion convention. insofar as the formal pro-
ceedings go, IS just gag. They say that thrty-flve
thousand veterans here for the session which is
current. Judging from the clamOr in the lobby the
sound Of explosions IN the street outside and the
volume Of Sweet Adehne" from just across the
court. the newspapers have gTavely minimized the
numbers. Look into any nook and Granny of Buff
falo and you viii find that the name Is legion. If
there any less than a million of the merry
makers I am a sucker at sound ranging.
And yet scarcely more tnan a thousand persons
have listened 10 any Of the speeches formal reso-

solemn deliberations take place The average veter-

menace but solely for the purpose of getting rid OF

successful I haven't seen much as the shadow Of

When the legiOnnaire starts for home after
three or four-day session his eyClds naturally are
a little weary. He has IN most cases a family to
which he must report. That. after all, is why he
went to the convention. On the way home he has

the masses Of the people have

the masses Of the people have
none.
We can solve this problem any
day we are ready to produce for
use. The difference between pro-
ducing for use and for profit is
just this-that in producing for
use, the people own what they
have produced, and so they can
consume it.
President Roosevelt admits that
the old system has broken down.
Here in California we don't need
anybody to tell us. We have a
million and a quarter persons de-
pendent upon public charity for
their existence.
We have come before the peo-
pie with a plan; We call it the
Epic plan, from the first letters
of our slogan, End Poverty in
California" We say there is no
other possible remedy but to put
the unemployed at productive la
Dor and let them produce what
they are going to consume, and
thus take them off the backs of
the taxpayers.
1t is necessary to have land on
while the unemployed may grow
their own food, and factories in
which they may produce their
own shoes and clothing. Let Us
begin with the factories.
There are close to 1000 Of them
idle in our state, and most of the
others are running on short time.
They are running into debt; the
owners are holding on.
We say to some Of these owners:
Let the state take your factory
on rental basis for three years.
We will pay your costs and your
overhead and your organization
can work for us"
We shall bring in the unem-
ployed and put them to work at
producing. We will turn out goods
in a tremendous food and note
this crucial fact:
The goods will not belong to the
private owner of the factory but
to the people who do the work.
Since they own the goods, they
will be able to consume them, or
exchange them with others who
are producing other kinds Of goods
under the same system.
What about food?
Our farmers today are producing
a great surplus. We shall say to
the farmers:
Bring this food to our state
depots and you will be given
warehouse receipts which will be
receivable for taxes" Tens of
thousands Of farmers are losing
their homes today because they
can not get cash to pay their
taxes. But they can pay with
food, and the unemployed work
ers can eat the food, and very
soon they will be turning out goods
which the farmers want and will
take in exchange for more food.

Nevertheless, seriousness is the

a seriousness which, until his mar

Astrid and Leopold already had
been married in a civil ceremony
in Stockholm. Four days later
the Swedish cruiser Fylgia brought
the bride and her parents to Bel

1t was on the quay in Antwerp

Prince Charles and Princess Inge-

bride, were on the vessels deck.
Astrid started down the gang

Suddenly a young man in mill

away from the official party on
the dock and rushed up the gang
plank. 1t was Leopold.
He seized the white-garbed
princess in his arms, and in the
sight of the cheering thousands,
gave her a very plebeian, very i'm
pulsive, and very ardent hug and
kiss.
That was Astrid's welcome to
Belgium.

that they should kiss one another

Your Health
BY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

A S soon as you discover you have fever, get TO
"A bed! The presence Of fever indicates that you
are sick and that your body is engaged in conflict
with toxic substances. No matter how Insignificant
the fever may be at the beginning, it may gradually
get worse.
The experience Of many centuries shows that
complete rest is great aid to the body in fighting
off infection or poison. Complete rest involves more
than going to bed.
THE patient must be bathed regularly while in
l. bed. Under such circumstances it is necessary
to have rubber sheeting and TO change bed linens.
Sometimes rubbing with alcohol, and powdering,
will help to keen his skin in good condition and
even t. cheer him up
Furthermore, any one who is seriously sick should
have mental rest Mental rest means avoidance of
worry avoidance Of attention to important problems
Of business and avoidance Of arguments with the
family.
CLEEP is Of utmost importance AS rule, persons
- with fever do not sleep we'll for long periods
Of time Therefore they should be permitted 70
sleep as much during the day as they can, and
Sleep at night mag be helped by administration OF
suitable remedies.

fataliStic courage in him.
A king must run risks as we'll as
any other man-so, it would seem,
their logic goes. To guard ones
life too cautiously is ignoble. Take
the chances that gentleman
must take to live, like man-and
take the consequences.
HOWEVER, there are some
L Il things that Leopold will not
do which some "sportsmen" thrive
on. He will not hunt. He detests
killing birds or animals for sport.
Fishing he eXempts from his list
of "Wont's."
Leopold is a good fisherman.
And recently he has developed a
considerable interest in aviation.
About 4 in the afternoon
Leopold comes off the links,
changes his clothes, and starts
business again. This time he works
in his study at Stuyvenberg, read
ing reports and seeing advisers.

The most important single fact
for the people to get clear in their
minds at the present time is that
they do not have to be poor any
more. We have moved out of the
age Of scarcity and into the age Of
superfuity. We no longer have to
get rich by robbing our neighbor
we can get rich by using our
own creative powers.
1t is no longer a problem of pro-
duction but of distribution.
Why can't the people get the
wealth today?
Because they are competing
against another, holding wages
and salaries down. We are pro-
ducing for the profit of private
owners, and those owners have
