WILHELM RETURNS FROM CONVENTION representatives from the 11th congressional district to the national Legion convention at San Francisco, has returned. The delegation of 10 from the local post has also returned. As a committee member and required to be on the convention floor a great deal of the time, Dr. Wilhelm had an opportunity to keep in touch. He is compiling a report for the Orange-co Council. Among matters coming up for consideration were Ku Klux Klan, adjusted compensation and rehabilitation of disabled veterans, the beautifying of the Arlington national cemetery, said to be in no unkempt condition, and immigration. There was a great fight over the Klan which ended in the Legion declaring its opposition to any organization which does not foster law and order and respect for the American flag, but named no organization. The convention urged adjusted compensation and rehabilitation. It asked that the Arlington cemetery be given attention, and that part where world war veterans are buried be named in honor of them. A resolution asked congress to prohibit all immigration for five years, and after that to use the selective system. Speakers included Hiram Johnson, James J. Davis, secretary of labor; General Frank Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, and others. President Coolidge sent regrets that he could not be present. General Hines, brot out many things of great interest to the ex-service men. He stressed the preferential treatment of the ex-service men, and said that none but ex-service men were employed in the Bureau. He told of the compressing of the various district depots of the Bureau into three great central depots in New York, Chicago and Federal Park. This results, he said, in an annual saving in office rental of about $800,000, and several million dollars in checking supplies. He said the Bureau makes a detailed report of how every dollar is spent. First consideration is given to vocational training. DENVER TRAFFIC TIED UP BY SNOW DENVER, Oct. 25—(INS)—Four and one half inches of snow lie on the ground this morning, and considerable damage to power and telephone lines throughout the state has been reported as a result of rain and snowfall. On the western slope the snow was accompanied by heavy winds which piled up huge drifts, making all roads impassable. Tranway cars in Denver were tied up in the early evening and snow plows were used throughout the night. Branches of trees were torn off, and automobile traffic was crippled. Heavy rains and snow in the Greely district threw out of employment temporarily, thousands of men engaged in digging beets and potatoes. Factories are running short and should a heavy freeze occur the damage to potatoes would be heavy. No deaths have been reported but three men marooned at the top of Pikes Peak were rescued with great difficulty. The storm, according to local weather bureau officials, extended over the entire west from Montana to New Mexico and from Nevada to the Mississippi river. ermment hospital, where they would not have been permitted to expose themselves. Consideration should be given, he said to the question of hospitalization of all the veterans of all wars. He spoke also of the result of vocational training, and said that the Bureau had been able to place from 97 to 99 percent of its vacational graduates. The address of Secretary Davis on immigration was also of great interest to the convention, Dr. Wilhelmi said. He said foreign born Americans numbered approximately 13,000,000. Intelligence tests show the following ratings: vastly superior .011 per cent; superior .021 per cent; high average .073 per cent; average .265 per cent; low average .165 per cent; inferior .398 per cent; and very inferior .148 per cent. Thus, said Mr. Davies, more than 6,000,000 of our foreign-born population is rated inferior. Had these tests been applied more than 45 per cent of them would S. F.

He said the Bureau makes a detailed report of how every dollar is spent. First consideration is given to vocational training. He emphasized that while the board of appeals had 29,000 cases to consider in the first five months of this year, a current basis has been maintained. This is made possible, he said, by standardized methods which prevent the overlapping of one department on the work of another. Permanent partial rating, he pointed out, has eliminated a lot of red tape in the matter of chasing from place to place for examination. He said that pending claims have been reduced from 41,882 to a current basis within a year. During the past year, up to Sept 1, there were 926,404 disability claims, and there is a daily increase of these on an average of 266. Last year the daily average was 481, which shows that the peak is passed. He said the Bureau also endeavors to give prompt information. He said it is the aim of the Bureau to make the hospital service the very best in the nation, if not in the world. He warned against home treatment as a minnemonic and dangerous, saying that many men had died of exposure in taking home treatment, whereas it would not have happened had they been in a gov- ROPER MEANS less time and more enjoyment in the kitchen The beauty of the Roper Gas Range together with its many labor and money saving conveniences and gas saving devices makes cooking a joy.

DEFENCELESS FROM AIR ATTACK SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25—(INS)—Less than half the cost of one super-dreadnaught would make San Francisco impregnable against attack by the navies and air fleets of the world, according to Brigadier General Henry D. Tood, Jr., commandant of the ninth coast artillery district, who in a statement at the Presidio today declared this port was now practically defenceless against an air attack. While the general character of the coast defences are excellent, General Todd declared they were designed and armed about 20 years ago and since that time armament has increased greatly in power. UNIQUE DWELLING ON HISTORIC SITE ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25—Discoveries of traces of the original "caverman" in Stratman Cave, Maries County, Missouri, believed by anthropologists to be the first actual evidence of that strange race of savages that lived in America thousands of years before history began are to be followed up by intensive explorations in the cave country. Anthropologists, headed by Gerald Fowke, working under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, think they are on the way to remarkable discoveries, which eventually may pull away the curtain that hides many weird secrets of antiquity. The explorers have just a little piece of chert or flint upon which to work. It was dug up in a deep stratum of rock far beneath the level in which Indian relics are usually found. The flint, carefully chipped and evidently either a weapon of war or an implement of agriculture, may represent a specimen of life in the paleolithic or old-stone age—the most remote period of which modern civilization has any knowledge.

CROSS EYES CORRECTED THIS MUSCULAR DEFECT CORRECTION AND STRAIN RELEIVED BY PROPERLY ADJUSTED GLASSES. DR W A BLAKELY OPTOMETRIST ANAKEIM CALL STATE INS. FUND BUSINESS GROWS SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25—The report of the state compensation insurance fund for the fiscal year recently closed shows its business to have advanced leaps and bounds, the increase over that of the preceding year having been in excess of 24 per cent. A comparison with the net workmen's compensation premiums written by more than 100 insurance concerns doing business throughout the United States, shows the state fund to occupy seventh place, although its operations are confined to California alone. If this rate of increase continues, it is the prediction of actuarial experts that within a short time the premium income of the state compensation insurance fund will be exceeded by that of only two companies which do a nation-wide business. PRINCE MIXES WITH CANADIAN COWMEN HIGH RIVER, Alta., Oct. 25—Any remnants of royal pomp which may have been clinging to the party of the Prince of Wales during the last days of his visit to his ranch near here were completely obscured on the day a delegation of cattlemen who had been attending the Breeders' convention called on him. The secret service men who ignore the staff of secretaries and guardians, and it was evident that the prince was "for it" wholeheartedly. They merely considered themselves as "law-abiding citizens" and the prince as a "neighbor," and so it was. The prince mixed with the chauffeurs and the cow hands and enjoyed himself immensely. George Lane, one of the old-timers up here, is 70 years old, but he's 6 feet 2 inches in height and rides with the best of them. Lane and the prince were pals during the day. They sat on the corral fence together and "talked the situation over." CONSTANTINOPLE COPS TO 'PRETTY UP' CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 25. MODERN LIFE CAUSES MADNESS MASSILLON, Oct. 25—Civilization is "literally driving people mad." Dodging street cars, sidestepping automobiles and eating rich foods are modern contributions to an increasing percentage of insanity. Dr. A. G. Hyde, for ten years superintendent of the Massillon state hospital, told International News Service. "Each year there is a larger number of patients admitted to the hospital." Dr. Hyde said. "We are 400 over normal capacity now, and more are being admitted daily. There is no doubt that the speed with which the world is living is responsible in part." Infected teeth often cause insanity, he said, and bad teeth—due to eating rich foods—are more prevalent today than ever before. For that reason a dental clinic is maintained at the hospital. As soon as a patient is admitted his teeth are examined, and suspicious molars and cuspidips are extracted. Tonsils are next examined. Bad tonsils cause insanity in many cases, Dr. Hyde said, and in all cases where the tonsils are found to be diseased they are removed. An Orange grove yesterday. A community of 20 homes tomorrow.

CONSTANTINOPLE COPS TO 'PRETTY UP' CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 25. — This city, as befitting the chief city of the Moslem empire, is to have a smarter police force, according to a new order issued by the director of police. In a circular to policemen, he orders them to shave a minimum of twice weekly and not to wear their police caps at the "fashionable angle." For correct deportment policemen going on duty will be reviewed by the local superintendent. Policemen while in the streets must preserve a serious demeanor, inspiring respect, he adds. PREPARE FOR RUSH LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25 — (INS) — More than 100,000,000 postage stamps are enroute to Los Angeles for the Christmas package rush. Postmaster O'Brien has ordered 1,000,000 more Harding stamps, so great has been the demand for that issue. What makes them run ... when they don't have to? USKY as young Spartans! Lively as spring lambs! What makes them run ... they don't have to? Is the tireless fountain of energy Happily, there is such a food. It is called Germea for a peculiar reason. But this reason is what makes Germea peculiarly good for children. The reason is this: USKY as young Spartans! Lively as spring lambs! What makes them run ... they don't have to? is the tireless fountain of energy every normal child! Turn a hunch of healthy youngsters loose for no special reason, they will into a wild run. What matters they're running? It is the spirit the chase—even when there is going to chase. It is the winged bird of childhood. But this wonderful fountain of energy doesn't flow of itself. It must be filled and refilled—constantly. It takes food to do the filling. This is one of the ever-present needs of mothers, "What can I give my children that will supply quick-to-use energy they need yet stay with them?" Happily, there is such a food. It is called Germea for a peculiar reason. But this reason is what makes Germea peculiarly good for children. The reason is this: Germea is made from "germ," the very heart-center of the wheat. Only 2% of the life-giving germ is found in the whole of the wheat. Yet Germea, because of its special process of manufacture, contains 10% of "germ." In other words—five times as much life-energy as there is in the whole of the wheat! So why not do as many other wise mothers are doing—make Sperry Germea the mainstay of your children's breakfast. It will mean more power to them and less worry to you. SPERRY GERMEA The life of the wheat The family breakfast cereal Your grocer has it
