WHO CARES ABOUT
 GAMMAS AND THINGS?

Life is short, at least I find 1t so, this grand bowling weather and the greens in the finest condition ever, so, children, please spare me all the mathematical problems - that will be as good as vacation for me, and besides it will enable me to put in just that much more time on real health questions readers submit by mail Sometimes, believe it or not, correspondents accuse me of swiping the stamps from their self addressed envelopes and throwing their let ters in the chucker, and sometimes they are right. But most of the time the letter is waiting here on my desk, until I can ponder the problem carefully and send the an- swer I'd want if I were in the cor respondents place. I may seem hard-boiled sometimes, but under heath the cloak I'm not a bad scout when I go to bed nights I like to say my prayers and think I've done my good deed for the day.
 In order to appease the insistent demand for useless information and ease my conscience a bit, I'll give here all of it I can garner in refer ence to vitamin potencies or units for measuring vitamin strength.
 A gram is the metric unit of weight-the weight of cubic cen- timeter of water at temperature of degrees c. (about 39 degrees F., 8 few degrees above freeZing). A milligram (mg) is one-thousandth of a gram. A microgram is one- thousandth of 8 milligram. Some times, to make it harder, micro grams are called gamma. Now a gram is approximately equal to 151s grains. A milligram is approxi- mately equal to 1-65th of grain. A nicrogram is approximately l. 68000th of a grain, one -millionth of a gram. Please don't blame me for this. You asked for it. I wouldn't know-I'm just copying the answers out of 8 book.
 One international unit is the same as one U. s. P. unit-or was at four o'clock last week. It is not at all clear why the LISP. horned into the argument at all.
 One international unit of Bl (thi- amin) is approximately equivalent to Sherman units, but don't bank on this, for the boys in the labora- tory are still arguing about it.
 One international unit of vitamin A is now considered to be 0.6 micro

 And it is astonishing how many laymen want to know about gam mas and things. They complain al- most daily because Webster ducked gammas in his last edition. Huh, that isn't half of 1t.

 Knees are worse tattiet.-ss = sye than graying hair. Just take a look around any beach and you'll see what mean.
 Tenseness, stiffness in those knee joints should concern you more than your first gray hair. your first line or two around the eyes. The woman who has to lower herself into chair with the help of hands placed on her chair is the one who makes observers conscious of her birthdays. So long as she can sit and rise smoothly, gracefully, and has springy, youthful walk, nobody is going to think of her age.
 Premature, slight stiffening of the knees may be due to nothing more than the lack of exercise. Try some workouts. If they are ineffective, of course you should consult a physician, for the stiff ness, especially stiffness accom- panied by pain, may signal an ill., ness.

people by the people.
In his review of the past quar-

World War I, Judge Burney point
ed out that our annual recognition
of this date has been for the great
victory won by American boys on
European battle fields which gave
us the right to return to our peace.

Nov it has a bigger meaning.
These are times for rededication
to the principles of the four free
doms and to pay tribute to the
boys of World War I and those
who have given their lives since
December 7 in Pearl Harbor, Wake
Island, Bataan, the Solomons and
wherever American boys are fight
