At Republican Convention

Cleveland, O., June ia pretty
title dark eyed doe enters the recep-
ion room at Landon headquarters in
| downtown hotel here. She is 49,
year-old Peggy Ann Landon, come to
make friends, and to hear her father
sawed up as presidential timber for
he Republican party of 1886.
Miss Landon darts here and there,
saying how do you do with consid-
cradle poise. All her movements are
quick and alert She looks you straight
in the eye, and you feel as though
her probable learning rate were not
to be sneezed at.
flawlss complexion matches the
color of her tan dress. Chocolate
colored gloves are the color of her
eyes and hair, and her off-the-face
hat is becoming to an upturned nose
There is a feather in her hat, on it
n gold letters-"Landon for Presi-
dent"
Every other word is interrupted
IS Miss Landon makes her way, SEN
ence by sentence, across the room
Everybody wants to shake hands with
her, and pass the time of day.
A dour looking fellow comes along
I'm a good Landon man." he says
with a sob in his voice. "My little
12-year-old daughter-be grateful
your autograph" His thumb pins a
picture of Governor Landon firmly
IN the table.

man and finds five others underneath.
Please, he wants them all signed.
Miss Landon winds up at a table,
where she buys two blue gangham
elephants and pays spot cash. There
is some difficulty about change, but
a big blond fellow who accompanies
her comes to the rescue, and the deal
is completed satisfactorily.
When asked how she was standing
up under the strain of convention
Miss Landon made gestures of COM
plett well-being.
ooh, WELL" muttered someone stand
ing near by, cts youth" Miss Lam
don said youth or no youth, conven-
tons are new to her, and so she likes
them very much. But, heavens, no!
she doesn't go to every session at
the Public auditorium.
AS for a college education, it's vir-
tually a necessity in these days, Miss
Landon says, and the University of
Kansas, where she is a junior, is very
progressive. They know enough to
let you alone with your liberty, and a
fat lot they care whether you study
your lessons or not.
after ALL" saws Miss Landon
when you get out in the world peo-
pie aren't going to treat you like a
baby and say, Darling, put on your
blue dress today"
College? o. X, Says Peggy
No themes on what 1 Got Out Of
College," were required this year at
the University of Kansas, and Miss
Landon doesn't think she'll have to
write one in the autumn on "How I
Spent My Vacation" But if she does.
t. will be a cinch

MILK RISE

Health Officer George C. Ruh-
land was informed today by a
delegation of representatives from

clubs. that a raise in the price Of
milk here can be avoided through
relaxation Of District regulations.

thew F. Boyd, representating the
Consumers Council, recalled to
DR.. Rutland that a local regula-
tion requires that a member Of
the Health Department. staff shall
inspect a dairy before it's milk
may be shipped into the District.
They declared that any at
tempt by local producers to raise
prices could be defeated by per-
mitting the shipping of milk
from other States upon certifica'
ton of the State health depart
ment.
DR.. Rutland was told that
nearly all the cream used locally
in making ice cream is shipped
here from Wisconsin. He was

tice officials whom he accuses Of

The suit is expected to clarity
several important questions in

vided for in the statutes for pa

Says:

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-One
thing is certain, that Spanish
revolution will never peter out
due to the lack Of munitions,
with France now threatening to
send planes to the Reds, and
Germany and Italy already con-
tributing them to the FaSciStS
-. Well, 1 guess war is like any
other game! Instead of fCGting
the Spanish play their hands
out, everybody's trying to kibitz.
Seems to me that the trouble
with the world is too many peO-
pie minding other peoples buSi-
ness. You can't even have a
private war any more.
And from the number of con-
fIictS that have been going on
in various places recently, ap-
parentIy that next world war is
already here. Only this time
we're getting it on the install
ment plan.
So, with the blare of trumpetS,
the beat of war drums, the hum
of airplanes, and the rattle Of
death, it sounds like the OF
Grim Reaper now waves his
Scythe to the rhythm Of hiS
own swing band.
