Tens of thousands remain there, beneath acres of crosses. And each Springtime, the warm May.

sun spreads a glory pi' poppies over the graves of Flanders and France. Over here, each Springtime, graying men of noddle average age of World war veterans is 47 now--pass dreary hospital hours making duplicates of those poppies; and these are sold for the help of the living in honor of the dead. On 26, under thetauspices of the Veterans Foreign wars, the hospital-made popples will be sold in every American comm i The money raised will go for welfare work among veterans, and for the benefit of widows and orphans of our soldier dead. As the poppies of i nature spread a blanket of beauty over the fields where American soldiers fell, so the poppies made for the sale spread a protection of comfort and aid over the Tragic lives of those who remain. Last year.the number of veterans admitted to government hospitals was the highest on reco'nl This "year, generous California should i lead.

in making the nation's poppy sale the greatest in history. Buy a poppy! Hey, Los Angeles! The thriving city of Oakland is plenty and rightfully sore. All over a Chinese throne--a honey of a throne, specked with more jewels than Myrna Loy has freckles, and worth $2,000,000. The throne was smuggled out of Peip- ing, under Japanese noses, two years ago. It went to Holland.

Recently it was decided to ship it to Prof. Otto Munchcn, of Oakland, for exhibition purposes in aiding a fund-raising drive for Chinese relief. The throne didn't arrive. It just vanished. G-meii were called in.

It was found the other day, imgarded and lone, in a crate on a Xcw York wharf--because the Hollander who shipped it. via Dutch liner, thought Oakland a suburb of New York! Oakland, officially, is too i i a to comment. 'But Los Angeles Kay Davidson, veteran publicity man and Angclcno patriot, violently objects. "When suburbs are claimed in California," asserts Davidson, Angeles will claim 'em!" At last. Hitler's great work, "Mein Kampf," appears in a complete translation.

Daily Washington Merry Go Round By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON--If you wont the key to what Hitler is doing regarding Danzig, all you have to do is go back to May exactly one year ago and the tactics he employed regarding Czechoslovakia. At that time he opened his first drive for the Sudc- trnland, but found vigorous opposition from the French and British--so vigorous a any precipitous action by him probably would have meant war.

So he put the Sudetenlnnd pot on the buck of the stove to simmer. Later, when there had been enough Nazi riots in the Smletenbnd and when the French and British people were sufficiently fed up with the whole business, he hrongh the pot to the front of the stove and to a quick boil. Today Hitler is following exactly the same formula in Danzig. When Danzig first became an issue, Chamberlain issued belligerent statements in the house of commons announcing that Britain would fight. Roosevelt also addressed peace messages to Hitk-r and II Duce which put them on the spot.

But Hitler spurred for time, put the Danzig question on the hack of the stove to simmer. And today the British are advising the Poles to compromise instead of going to war; exactly the same advice they gave the Czechs last October. So you can mark it down as certain that Hitler is sure to take Danzig. Tho exact (late is the only thing which remains uncertain. FINISH A When that time comes, Hitler will also take the proposed corridor or roadway across the Polish'cor- ridor to Ksist Prussia, the significance of which is all- important.

That 16-kilometer strip across the Polish corridor means that whenever Hitler wants to, he can shut Poland off completely from Gdynia and the sea. This roadway would be almost equivalent to giving Canada a narrow strip of land from Connecticut through the Bronx across the Hudson to New Jersey, completely isolating the area around New York City from the Port of New York. Once Hitler has taken Danzig and a road across the Polish corridor, ho has Poland at his mercy in about the same way he had Czechoslovakia at bis mercy after swallowing the Sudctenland. Thus when he gets ready to take the rest of Poland, its conquest would be much airier--though not so easy us the final conquest of Czechoslovakia. The Poles are better fighters.

A While the house of representatives was allowing itself to lie shocked by the booklet of nude artists' models, used by the WPA federal art project, Isa Glenn, the authoress, accosted Congrcsswoman Caroline O'Day. "Caroline," she said, "I hope you didn't pretend to be shocked by that book of nudes. You haven't forgotten, have you, how we both studied art in Paris at age sixteen, and painted girls in the And they were really nude--without so much as an apron hiring!" CHIP'S I I Friends are twitting Chip Robert, vivacious secretary of the Democratic national committee, that he was not hia usual self at the chrip.tcr.inR of his br.hy daughter. The christening was one of the social events of the Washington spring season. St.

John's church, where the president worships, was packed i digk- nitaries. The proud father, who is also secretary of the southeast governors' conference, was clad in cutaway and striped trousers. But he appeared nervous. Doris Duke Cromwell, richest woman in America and one of the godmothers, was late. The assemblage waited ten minutes.

Finally she arrived. Just as she did so, a friend remarked to Chip: "Chippy, you're not yourself today. Here you were, with supreme court justices and cabinet members in this congregation all waiting for ten Yet you didn't make one speech for the southeast governors' conference or try to raise a single dollar for the Democratic national committee. "Chip, you certainly are slipping." NOTE; Glamorous Evie Robert, mother of the child, hesitated three months before she could decide on a name, finally chose Alice Berney, after a grandmother. Friends wanted her to name the baby "Franklina" because she was horn on Roosevelt's birthday.

CAPITAL CHAFF Chief Justice Hughes recently remained at a dinner given in his honor hy Under-Sccrctary of State Wf-lles until after midninght. According to protocol he should havo left at 10:30 so that the other guests riViilii go home; for under tho rules of Washington society, no one can leavp a dinner party until the guest of honor leaves. But in this case, Hughes was having too good a time. "Young Republican," a magazine published with Republican national committee backing, is getting to be a breezy and readable A significant slander suit is being settled in Cumberland, by which a radio station apologizes to John L. Lewis and John T.

So Henderson got out the speech, read it and sent copies to two Catholic senators, suggesting thr.t they put it in the" Congressional Record. He said that if he had to make the speech over again, he would not change a word. The speech predicted exactly wbat the Chamberlain appeasement policy has harvested today. WAGNER LABOR FIGHT Not all the savage battling over the Wagner labor act is centered in Washington.

The hig headlines are made here, but actually the capital is only one sector of a nationwide battlefront. Tbe law is under hot fire in a score of states, and two already have adopted statutes which materially amend it in effect. Mastermind of the state drive is Dr. Glenn Frank, former president of Wisconsin university, now chairman of the Republican program committee. By astutely trading on AFL complaints against the national labor board, and by unifying business and farm elements behind him, Frank has been able to chalk up notable successes.

The Wisconflin and Minnesota legislatures have enacted restrictive measures, and Michigan is about to follow suit. It is significant that the Michigan bill is identical, word for word, with the Wisconsin law, and varies only slightly from the Minnesota statute. Another interesting sidelight is the apparent close alliance between Senator Burke of Nebraska, Democrat, and Glenn Frank, Republican, Burke was addressing group of Milwaukee bus! ness men while Glenn Frank's bill was under consideration in the. legislature, and said, "When" I rend about your labor bill in the paper this morning, I almost thought I was reading my own amendments to the Wagner act."

Miss Loy storms angrily to Breiit, "You lire a beast, aren't you Director Brown stops the scene and says, "Let's try it ovcr ngnin." He winks at Brent who steps on Miss hoy's toe just as the camera starts to turn. When she says her line this time, there is plenty of acidity in her voice. Afterwards Brown chuckles and says, "George and I have out the perfect system for keeping Myrna Loy in character.

That is, if her toe just holds out." Myrna laughs. "I'm warning you right now," she says. "The next time George Brent steps on my foot, I'm going to give him a kick in the shins that he'll remember."

He loaded poles into his Model and started home. One pole slipped under the car and got mixed up in the steering apparatus.

In making sharp turn, the car leaped down an embankment and hurled him against a tree. His spine was wrecked; his legs paralyzed. He has never taken a step since that May day ten years ago. Condemned to a wheel chair. At twenty-four! He rebelled.

He fumed. But as the years dragged on, a gradual change cnmr over his spirit. He realized that MB rebellion wasn't getting him anything he wanted; and what was'worse, it was bringing him a lot of unhappiness that he didn't want. "I noticed," ho said as he related the story to me, "that other people were kind and courteous to me. So I decided I ought to bo i and courteous to them." Ben Fortson's courtesy was the first i I noticed about him as his chair was wheeled into a ho- tel elevator.

KEEPING FIT By ARTIE McGOVERN TRAIN FOR YOUR FAVORITE SPORT- Many a championship hns been won or lost by a player's physical condition. A i the game in sportsman who his ability to piny which he specializes warning, fullttr: hrintltur IB Uxi." "blow up" completely. The reason is not that be has suddenly forgotten the fundamentals of the game he knows so well, but more than likely the fine stage of skill that has placed him among topnotch players has buen temporarily dulled by some minor physical defect. How, you ask, does thnt nffcct us, wbo are not by any means in the championship or professional class? It has a great deal to do i the pleasure and benefits we derive from outdoor sports. Aside from the effects ot! physical disturbances on the quality of our playing, we cannot enjoy the game if we do not feel perfectly well.

This is "outdoor recreation" season and it is up to you to see to it that you can get as much as you possibly can out of your favorite games. To do this, your first and most important step is to keep fit. Most of us have to limit active participation in games to week ends, but this docs not mean that we can afford to sit back and relax all week. In fact, it affords us all the more, reason for keeping up an exercise routine to maintain muscular tone and co-ordination. The trouble with most sports enthusiasts is that they over-do in the pursuit of their favorite game one or two days a week and then do absolutely nothing about it throughout tno rest of the week.

In this event, sports are a liability rather than an asset in your health account. I addition to your regulur Daily Dozen, there arc a number of special exercises that I have planned witb respect to training fof various sports. You will find these interesting from a viewpoint of injecting variety into your routine, as well as of definite- benefit to your fame. During the next few days, I will discuss some of them in this column.

Borg of Let's Explore Your Mind By ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAM D. Sc. Answer to Question No. 1. Not the chronic travelers.

Dr. Karen Homey brings this out in a study of personality from the standpoint of a psychoanalyst. She thinks the chronic world travelers are, as rule, trying to escape from themselves and to find the happiness in constantly changing environment that can only come from harmony of the emotions within and acceptance of the environment as it is. Answer to Question No. 2 2.

No, it is one of the worst. Science is a vastly better" teacher. Has man's experience with war taught him anything? No. Did the experience of msn with his mental problems teach him anything about feeblemindedness, emotional balance, measurement of intelligence? No. All that man's experience taught him about mental abormal- ities was to burn witches, brutalize criminals and to go through incan- tations to stop epidemics.

Even in economics and politics experience has taught man little if anything. Poliiical science and scientific economies are just beginning to teach him a little. Man's only hope of solving social problems lies in applying science to thorn as he has to his chemistry and machines. Answer to Question No. 3 Partly this, although it Is usually rather unconscious.

Psychologists, who have had experience in marriage counseling believe- it is not so much to repair broken hearts as it is to repair broken habits. Men who really love their wives-which investigation shows includes over 80 per cent of them--cannot realize until they are' gone how much they have depended on them. Remarriage docs not necessarily signify they havo forgotten the first wife but that she herself built up habits of lifo without which life becomes unbearable..
