Women War Veterans’ Reward for Bravery Somewhere in the jumble of readjustment after the World war, a little group of volunteers who served the United States overseas became lost. They were the women—most of them just girls then—who served in France as nurses, autamobile drivers and aides in many branches of the army. Their work carried them up to the front, and they were subjected to shellfire, bombs and poison gas. Many of them were wounded, many others were gassed. Now, unprovided for in many cases, aging and faltering under aggravation of old wounds and mental shock and lacking the organizational punch to carry through a program which would aid them, this little band of women is calling for help. According to Miss Dorothy Frooks, national commander of the Women World War Veterans, reductions in compensation cut the incomes of those who were disabled from $60 monthly to $28 and less. In cases of full hospitalization, she says, many of the women. receive only $6 a month and, being unable either to support themselves or have the $28 restored, remain in the ing here and passing our legislation since the president of the senate has gone away.

One can only guess as to what Garner But every insider, Roosevelt and Garner adherents alike, agreed that Roosevelt itely needed Gar- ner’s help at a tight point in the court fight. the White House and Garner arose the suggestion that Roosevelt would be willing to make a trade with Gar- ner on certain policies in return for the vice president's support. One guess, made by a man who nearly always guesses right, was that Garner would win the assurance that bill would be helpful in that field. He is equally violent against sitdown strikes, the CIO, higher wages for ne workers 08 well as port whites an the south, government spend- ing for WPA. Recall of Garner, who had walked cut from his post while Roosevelt, in effect, had elevated his nose and sug- gested the vice president would never be missed if that was the way he felt about it, indicated the desperate Position in which the administration forces felt themselves to be after Ma- Jority Leader Robinson’s death.

People generally do not heed what Physiclans tell them about the health value of sunlight. Most of the talk about vitamin D goes in one ear and out the other. People generally do not know that sunlight is the sourse of all the vitamin D in the world. Indeed the average layman has vague fears of the harm sunlight may do, apart from sunburn or sunstroke, for wise- acre. Yankee commentators have taught him it may addie his brains or inflame his spinal cord. Uneducated mothers are cautioned against Have a little solarium in your home and these silly notions, propagated by various interests, will not do your family so much harm. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Patellar Reflex Significance of not showing any reflex when knee is tapped? Why do doctors include this in their examinations? Has the reflex any significance as to low mentality? (Mrs, L, D. G.) Answer—It gives the physician an idea as to the integrity of spinal cord AND THAT REMINDS US OF THE OLD GAG= WHAT'S THE IDEA OF ALL THis A COMMUNIST, HUH! fact that Roosevelt would have to trade with Garner became obvious at once. The Iste Joe Robinson had oper- ated on a personal basis and there was no administration machine in the senate. He had exchanged favors for favors, but these were personal favors and this became obvious after his death to the great demoralization of the administration’s court fight. The real Capitol Hill battling had been left to the department of justice, which meant, in effect, only Aasist- ant Attorney General Joe Keenan. eee His Luck Holds Good Some of Roosevelt's closest friends and most influential advisers begged him in vain to go on the funeral train With the body of Robinson to Arkansas, for strategic reasons, of course, The president's failure to board that train aroused plenty of criticism, not only from the few who felt he should have paid the final tribute to 8 loyal follower, but also—and per- haps mostly—from political enemies who made the most of it, Roosevelt's unjustly celebrated luck hospitals. From the veterans’ administration comes a reply that male veterans under hospital treatment without dependents receive the same amount, and an intimation that the fault, if anybody’s, lies outside its domain. While these women veterans are all full members of the American Legion, no major action to cover their cases of war disability was taken, Miss Frooks says, until 10 years after the armistice. Members of the women’s organization themselves admit laxity in working for protective laws. Such legislation has been introduced but not pressed. The misfortune of these women will amaze many Amer- icans who thought, when the nation literally “went the limit” to appropriate millions for a bonus little more than a year ago, that that gesture cleared up for a long time all the little odds and ends of tragedy associated with our part in the war. It is amazing, too, that this band of women could go along all these years with the hope that when their own resources ran out a grateful government automatically would take good care of them. Of course, such a delusion may have been inspired by the war-shouters of 1917, for when they wére drumming up com- pression for the struggle to save democracy, hardly anything was too much to promise a volunteer. Then too, its’ just possible that the women veterans erred in not forming a powerful lobby to camp out in the legislative halls when the rewards for valor were dealt out. For patriotism alone, it seems, doesn’t attain full standing until it is stiffened with a shot or two of political expediency.

KENT CANDOR VERSUS CHARM ‘The newspaper correspondents in Washington who were s0 delighted with the jolly nature.of the White House press conferences, contrasting the merry, first-name-calling infor- mality of Mr. Roosevelt with the stiff austerity of the serious Mr. Hoover, have lost a little of their taste for the former.
