(NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 New York.-Knitted ensembles have taken on new dressiness. Now they are perfect not only for travelling and country week-ends, but for cool days in town, luncheon and informal bridge parties.
 Knitted skirts no longer are plain, tubular, unkind-to- the -average-fig- ure affairs. Many models have soft flares knitted into the bottom of the hemline. Some knitted-in pleats in groups at the sides or front. Others are made with novelty stitches which give 8 gored and flared effect.
 Colors are simply lovely. You will like your old favorites, beige and pastels, of course, but you'll be fas- cinated by violet, tulip yellow, vari- ous grays, tree-bark brown, Chinese green and red and soft, rather dusty medium blues.

TEHY THINK THEY ARE BETTER
 A young man who notes l do not approve of boozeguzzling informs me that @ great many, both old and young, disagree with me.
 If I were not aware of that I should scarcely mention the matter here. After all, is there anything more tiresome than reiteration by teachers, doctors or authorities of things one already knows, whether they are so or not? Doesn't it make you feel an awful fool, for inc stance to pay a fee for medical ad- vice only to be told you have a "cold" and must be careful not to take more "cold," you simpleton2 On the other hand if the doctor goes into a scientific trance and finds you have @ streptococcus in- vasion of the antrum, don't you feel that's something for your money?
 Continues the young man:
 both old and young dis
 agree with you. The opinions of
 the young you may not consider
 important, because of their in- experience. But I know many men of fifty or sixty, who may be considered to have mature wis., dom, who say they know no man
 who amounts to anything who
 doesn't drink, and that they are frankly a bit suspicious of any non-drinker.
 This becomes personal, for I am one of those oddities that do not drink. l am at the vriile age of 24 when I ought to be one of the boys. Nearly all of my ac- uuaintances and pals like @ bit of @ nip. Perhaps the main rea- son why I never take any comes from my mothers hatred of drink.
 She had plenty of reason.
 What this country needs right now is 8 million more mothers like that and ten million more boys who have greater respect for their mothers wishes than they have for the boon companionship of deefctive indivi- duals who require the narcotic acc ton of alcohol to make them feel right.
 When a fellow declines drink
 he is apt to be placed in solitary confinement. One of the easiest
 ways to offend is to refuse Q drink. I know.

Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Among the interesting develop ments in dietary control of dis- ease has been the use of the so- called ketogenic diets in epilepsy.
 Such diets are based on an ob- servation that the frequency of epileptic attacks was reduced when those afflicted went for time without food.
 Starvation produces acidosis. Ap- parently, production of acidosis has sentative effect and cuts down the convulsions.
 There is also a theory that the diet which tends to produce aci- dosis is effective, in that 1t causes an increased elimination of water from the body. There are many who believe that the seizures Of epilepsy, of eclampsia, and other convulsive disorders are associated with accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the nervous system.
 Many years ago, 1t was pointed out that diets which are high in fats and low in sugars have a ten- dency to eliminate water from the body.
 Whether or not the results are brought about by acidosis, the elimination of water, or some other factor, there seem to be certain cases of epilepsy which are benefit ed by the use of the ketogenic diet.
 Tn this diet, which the physician, of course, prescribes for each pa tient as required, alcoholic drinks, spices, and condiments usually are omitted. Fluids, too, are restricted. since 1t is the desire to produce some dehydration.

VETERAN FOR GOVERNOR

To The Editor,
When the boys enlisted and went to
war in 1917, there were all kinds of
promises made as to what would be
done for them, if they were lucky
enough to return.
North Carolina is the only state in
the union who has not had veteran
for governor. KS.
The veterans would not organize
and support Sandy Graham merely
because he is an ex-service man; but
they most respectfully insist that he
is thoroughly fitted by training and
experience. They are familiar with
his record as a legislator and lieuten-
ant governor of this state. He is
known to be a fearless, efficient Of
ficial, ever watchful in all matters
concerning the citizens of this state
His honesty and integrity as an Off
cial and citizen is beyond reproach.
The veterans are honest in their
request. They sincerely feel that
'Sandys" experience, training, ability,
character and past record has fitted
him for the governors seat, equal if
not far superior than his opponents.
With his past experience together
with his World War record, the vete-
rams are asking that he be nominal

New York, May 26.-Lou was a very
| remarkable woman. She was cracked.
She was as balmy as a bird. But she
had character. l suppose, too, there
| have been others cut to her eccentric
pattern in the naelstrom of Manhat-
tanfS forgotten stratum. And so I
give you a flash of her
Louis origins are obscured. She
turned up the other night in the notes
of young police reporter I know
when she was taken to Bellevue,
charged with drunkenness. She wasn't
drunk, it turned out, only a little
/ loony. She had been peering into trash
cans and weaving down the street so
crafty that a cop hailed her.
They found $4,000 credited to her
account in four different banks the
bank books were tied around her
waist. There seems to be an epidemic
in Manhattan now of these plutocra-
tic paupers. Another old lady had
been taken in just few days pre-
viOusly with bank books showing ow-
nership to $4,000 and so Lou was
news for my police reporter friend. I
asked him to describe her to me; per-
haps she was typical of a metropo-
Titan type.
"Oh, she was dressed in rags" he
said. "They always are. She had on
five petticoats. The nurse told me
that. No home. A wild eye. Delusions
of persecution. She was pretty far
gone.'
l wanted to know where he thought
she came from-how she came upon
such strange and depressing ways.
ooh, she's a native-born New York
| err. You can depend on that. All the
daffy ones are. Probably the city ran
her cuckoo, just as it'll run you and
me some of these days. Come to think
Jim, you have rather strange look

But what about Lou? Did they

Cure her? Don't be silly She'll be
! back on the street in a month, if they
let her out of the hospital, peering in
to trash cans and nursing her bank
books. But there was one rather fun
ny, and sort of pathetic thing she
said. When they took her bank books
away from her she cried, Take my
money if you want it, but give me my
J books back. 1 don't care about the
money but I've been nursing these
books for fifteen years."
So Lou had a sort of character. Fiji

books. Long ago she lost all associa-

money was secondary. The books
were what counted They were a SYM

The announcement of Editor Den

siderable interest on Capitol Hill. He
has a host of friends in the state and
his election by the voters of the dis

first two years of his administration.
/ Editor Dennis is a man who has
proven his worth in many ways, he
has made a success of his newspaper
and he enjoys a most excellent repu-
tation for his splendid ability and in

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The German
government reluctantly appointed a
food administrator. It was an adj
mission to the Allies that their block
ade, designed to starve out the civil
liam population, was having a meas
ure of success. It was another argu-
ment with which proponents of
hluthleSS submarine warfare could
beat down those who were against it..
Actually, however, appointment of
food dictatorship was not actual
ed by shortage so much as a de-
mand for checkmating of profiteer-
ing. The bread tickets were issued
at first, to enable the poor to have
cheap bread and force those who
wanted to buy more food than the
bread ticket prescribed, to pay heav-
lily for the indulgence.
About this time the rations of the
common soldier in the Kaiser's army
became. Breakfast-coffee or a sub
stitute, with dry bread. Lunch-soup
with occasional small pieces of meat;
vegetables and bread. Supper
bread and marmalada
