the Texas-in-the-war celebra-
ton. They let some other news
papermen come along too. be-
cause IL seems they have the
eccentric idea that they'd also
like some news about it in the
papers. This is one of the mani
festatlons of the modern age
and there doesn't seem TO be
anything l can do about IT,
We left Waco and went TO
Temple. Then we went in an
army transport 10 Austin, which
is the state capital. The gov
ernor took a look at us and saw
such a fine body Of men that he
made us all honorary Rangers.
Then we ,yere taken TO the
University of Texas. which does
not have a president for the
nonce, because Homer p. Rainey
quit in a big row with the board
Of regents.
1t seems the regents caught
Rainey saying nice words about
Vice President Wallace, which
is considered little short of
treason in this part of Texas.
WE TOOK another army plane
w to San Antonio, where we
were given a wonderful time by
the chamber of commerce. San
Antonio is truly the magic city
and the fact that Ia members
of the chamber are looking over
my shoulder does not influence
me in the least.
They gave us a big dinner in
a lovely outdoor amphitheater,
and we all had TO make speeches.
All / gotta say is that news
papcrmen shouldn't talk.
Mr.. Lyle Wilson of Washing
ton got SO tangled in eulogizing
San Antonio that he said he in
tended TO come back and visit
IL some day. even if he had TO
bring his wife.
Mr.. Ray Tucker Of Washing
ton was called TO the micro
phone, but the glare of flood
lights blinded him. He walked
straight past the POSTMASTER
into a clump Of banana trees,
and we had a terrible time get
ting him out.

TIVE thyroid gets out Of whack

Enlargement OF the thyroid.
rs every one knows, is called
goiter.
The enlargement may or may
not mean that the thyroid IS
supplying extra secretion.
In goiter countries where the
soil and water is poor IN iodine,
enlargement of the thyroid
gland is common and means
only that il has developed more
cells in order 10 catch every bit
of iodine which goes into the
circulating blood.
This form of goiter can he
easily controlled by adding
iodine to the diet.
There remains the great
group of thyroid disorders in

LIS successor as head Of the
H Marking government is
Chen Kung-Po. Chen. when I
first met him in Canton in 1925,
was an idealist, an intellectual
labor leader, pro-Russian. the
bridge between the Kuomintang
and the Communists.
In Canton and later in the
Hankow government, Chen
Kung-Po was gadfly, stirring
up discomfort, driving labor to
strike, conducting anti-foreign
boycotts and hating all foreign
ers, but particularly the British
and the japanese.
I do not know when Chen
turned pro-Japanese but he was
always close TO Wang Ching
Wei and undoubtedly followed
his leadership into the japanese
camp.

Letters From
A Soldier

After looking at half a dozen

that Bonzelaar had set his
watch an hour ahead, the night
before.
At CHOCCOLQCCO, where
"A we had so much forest fire
fighting to do. a half dozen nom
CONS came in at l a. m. from
the fire, stirred up a sleeping
victim and told him he'd better
hurry and get dressed, it was
late.
He saw them all dressed,
climbed into his own clothes,
washed his face-and realized
how he'd been hoodwinked
when he found the others all
undresSed and gone to bed.
This horSeplay even extends
to the hospital, in the wards
where the men are convalscent,
or about to return to active
duty. The standard trick there
is to load somebody's bed with
pieces of ice, a startling and
effective method of torture and
one that 1 hope / never am SUBJ
jected to.
Come to think of it, most of
the practical joking appears to
be related to keeping people out
of bed or keeping them in-and
in view of the way every CT
loves his sleep. I guess it strikes
at the essence of army luxury.

won't be so sparing OF her
kisses.
There must be a woman,
some where. who could love me.
What is your advice? X Is.
DEAR r. B.;
In MY opinion, woman who
L fails 10 gNe her husband
either cherishing devotion or
children,-one or the other
has fatty defaulted on the spirit
and indeed the letter of the
marriage contract.
The institution Of marriage,
as foStered and safeguarded by
church and state. Is primarily
dedicated TO the proposition Of
reproducing the human family
in an orderly, responsible way.
And the principal secondary
purpose Of marriage is 10 afford
mutual emotional consolation
and moral support to the con-
tracing parties, in a sacrosanct
relationship Of unreserved in
tlmacy and reciprocal positive
sympathy.--as is clearly indi-
Gated by the traditional ex-
change Of vows 10 love, honor
and chcrish" each other.
Taking your story at face
value, and measuring your So
called marriage against this
simple blueprint Of the bona fide.
one must conclude that a valid
relationship does not exist: and
that the woman who bears your
name is essentially a Swindler
in the role OF wife.
Thus / cannot feel that you
are officially bound 10 go on
this way and never know any
other kind of married life"
Rather. / think your wife is
wilfully guilty Of a type of NAL
feSance that automatically es-
tablishes your right 10 enforce
dissolution Of the contract, if
you so desire.
But ] wonder if there isn't a
chance Of evoking a satisfactory
relationship. even yet,-by de-
liberately giving her the benefit,
for a change. OF the casual cold
shoulder treatment she has
given you for so long

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
/. r. ST have a friend who
contends that ice water OF iced
drinks Of any kind are bad for
a person or bad for digestion. Is
this true?
Al should think your friend
could look around him in
America and see that iced
drinks are not bad for people,
because we all drink beverages
much cooler than Europeans
or Asialcs, yet We remain pretty
healthy. The stomach has a re-
markable capacity of reducing
all foods and fluids TO body
temperature very rapidly.
NJ. P:--When a person has a
urinalySis done and il reports
the specific gravity is such-and-
such. what does that mean?
Answer: Specific gravity in a
fluid refers 10 how much solid
matter is dissolved in it. The
specific gravity Of distilled
water is l. The normal specific
gravity of urine is sSR0.
