interpreted to mean that the militia,
 or guard, could be summoned to fight invaders only if those invaders had already crossed the border.
 In 1912, however, Attorney Gen.
 eral Wickersham handed down a ruling on the matter which con- siderably changed possibilities.
 ACTUAL POWER
 QUESTIONABLE
 ] Wickersham ruled that the militia could not, in the ordinary course of things, be sent across the border. However, he said, if the invaders had been repelled in this country and it was necessary to chase them across the border in order to cap- ture and disarm them, the militia could be used in that way; further more, if an invading force were mobilizing beyond the border with evident intent to invade the United States, the militia might be ordered to cross the border and 'repel" them before they got here.
 How broad the Presidents powers may be is open to some question. If European troops should be landed on one of the Caribbean islands, for instance, the matter of their "evi- dent intent" to invade the United States would probably be for the President to decide.
 GUARDS STRENGTH
 KEPT SECRET
 The exact degree of preparedness which the national guard has today is kept secret.
 The guard contains 18 fully or- ganized infantry divisions of the so- called square" type-four infantry regiments and three artillery regi- ments apiece. In addition, there are q air corps observation squadrons, four cavalry divisions, q anti-air- crafts regiments, II harbor defense regiments and three mobile tractor drawn 6-inch gun artillery regi- ments-the whole coming to total of 242,708 officers and men.
 What is kept secret is the state of the guards equipment. Large sums have been voted in recent years | -$43, 100000 in 1899, $71, 100000 in 1940, and $88,000,000 for the coming | year.
 It is known that much of the | national guard equipment which has | been on order has been diverted to | the regular army on delivery. EVEN SENATORS ARE STYMIED
 The army is secretive about a | lot of things these days. One of them is the amount of surplus war mater ial sold to the allies.
 Newspapermen are told the army just doesn't have the figures, since -technically-the sales are made by the manufacturers, to whom the army turns back its surpluses. Even members of the senate can't find out. I know three who have tried re- peatedly in recent weeks and got | nowhere. One of them says when he calls the War Department and asks about it, he is told :"Yes, senator, we'll have someone look that up right away" That, invariably, is the last he hears about it.

the clear sweet taste of a grass blade" If you don't find grass juice to your taste. you may, if you desire, switch to alfalfa juice, which is also on sale at fifty cents bottle.
 Truly it is an awesome civiliza- tion in which we live, one whose ultimate refinements are high ex- plosive bombs dropped from shiny airplanes and grass juice that coAs one the order of eight times as much as milk. After thousands of years of effort, man has at last pro- gressed to that point where he can drink what COWS eat while he waits for a bomb to polish him of. Maybe Nebuchadnezzar was only twenty five hundreds ahead of his time.

NEW ROAD THROUGH THE
 VALLEY"
Bridgeport Times Starr

Yesterday-for a brief moment we toyed with the happy idea that the State Highway department was planning a new and separate road from the Merritt Parkway to Shell ton, which would leave the present Shelton road as a truck route while passenger traffic could use the new road.
 That idea of ours was, it appears. too good to be true. What we're go- ing to get, next year some time, is a rebuilding of the present road along modern lines and for the com-
