know. Lands is almost paranoic-

That is why he rejected Bing

a semi-pro there and in New

I'VE have recently celebrated
the anniversary of the birth
of William +. Cody. better
known as Buffalo Bill. Men and
women who value the traditions
of the old West. and remember
the part that Bill Cody played
in the winning of the West.
Joined in the anniversary dinner
and saw historic spots of the old
Oregon and Overland trails pic
tured. dramatlzed and inter-
preted.
AS they dined and listened to
the speakers. they heard all the
old tales of Bill Cody. how he
rode the pony express as
stripping. 3S4 miles in one ter
rifle stretch through hostile In
dian country, without a stop
except 10 leap from the back of
one running horse 10 another.
how he hired out TO General
Dodge and the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, stridng
across the prairics in the late
sixties TO provide them with
buffalo meat. and thereby won
the soubriquet that became
world famous.
They heard how he became
scout for the army in the los:
how he fought a duel on horse
back with Yellowhand. the war
chief of the Cheycnnes, and
killed the Indian with his hunt
ing knife; how when peaceful
days came to the plains he or
gained the Buffalo Bill Show
and took il 10 England and
TO France and re-enacted in the
show ring and sawdust the dra-
matte days OF the pioneers, the
Forty-niners. the Gold Rush, and
the Indian wars in which he had
played so prominent a part.
And a sight il was to see Col.
William F. Cody when he rode
into the arena of old Madison
Square Garden. Past 20. he was
as straight as a young Indian
buck. though his long hair,
sweeping his shoulders. and his
moustache and imperial were as
white as the SHOWS which cap
the Rockies.

War Has lis
Effect on
Digestion. Too

Modern warfare may result
in turning thousands of civilians
of war-torn countries into what
might be termed permanent
digestive cripples.
This thought was expressed
by DR.. Walter B. Cannon. Har-
ward University psychologist. en-
gagged 10 deliver series OF
Winter lectures at the Univer-
sity of California.
Doctor Cannon explained that
in time of anger or excitement
the human heart beats faster,
the blood pressure rises and
pulls the blood from the stom-
ach and digestive system TO the
brain and heart.
Under war conditions the
civilians Of bombed cities and
towns naturally have such re-
actions, the eminent psychologist
stated.
This reaction" Doctor Can
non said, makes a soldier moro
effective for fighting. hut when
civilians undergo this reaction
there Is q possibility that they
may become conditioned TO ex-
element"
In other words after the war
many persons will always be
affected by the sound of sirens,
roaring motors and explosions.
They are likely to undergo the
same reactions as when they
we're being bombed and this
continual drawing Of blood from
the digestive organs will greatly
affect their health, il was ex-
planned by the 69-year-old
psychologist.
One of the most famous men
in his field. Doctor Cannon is
past president of the Americah
Association for the Advance
ment Of Science.

II was possible that Fudge
did not hear her above the
barrage of loose bearings. The
jalopy drew TO the curb a
block ahead OF them.
There followed a revealing
pantomime. Fudge beckoned
invitingly to a girl walking
alone. She shook her head
and marched on haughtily.
"Well, of all the Fudge"
Eva yelled again.
He glanced back.

said fiercely. "If he prefers

JALOPY SHORTS ON
Fudge was not waiting to
be begged. The jalopy snorted
on. Eva regarded the rear on
which was painted an invita-

They looked somberly at

age miss. That is their faces
peered like pink moons from

appearance of having sprained

The girl ahead had not
these smart accessories. She
wore a somber, blue dress, al
most a uniform, and her legs
--horror!-were cased in
black hosiery.
Her face, however, had its
exotic points. Big, velvety
eyes combined with an under
shot chin to give her a re-
semblance to a petulant, white
pansy petal.

Their detection to a desirable

in Indianapolis, a refugee, two
months before, to live with
her aunt, the starchy made

Merry Hall, a girls school

Eva.
Her coming had thrilled
them at first. since they ex-

primly that she was young
