It Is a shrine that instills in all true Americans a deeper appreciation of the manhood and the sacrifice ot those who were quartered there during the darkest hour of the revolution. It is symbolic of a never-dying devotion to a cause and to a great commander that kept hope alive." VETERANS' BENEFITS The approach of the mid-winter season each year recalls to the mind or the student of American history thi' story of Valley Forge.

national park, situated a few miles from Philadelphia, has been called with justification, the shrine of American liberty, and It gives to all who visit It a truer appreciation of the manhood which made our nation possible. Under the caption, "Tile Shrine of AmorUjan Liberty," Mr. Arthur says, in part, in tho current issue of the National Republic: "There la no finer example 1n American history ot faith and pluck than that which wtis made at Valley P'orge by the Continental array under their commander-in-chief, George Washington, in the winter ot 1777- 177S. "It is doubtful whether the sacrifice of the Continental army has ever been adequately realized. Half starved, Ill-clad, poorly sheltered and In great peril, not only from the pangs of hunger and cold, but also from enemy attacks, they huddled about their camp fires while the British under Lord Howe, at the capital of Philadelphia, cele bruted the taking ot it with dancee and other gala events.

"In Marshall's Washington we find 'At no period of the war had the army been reduced to a sltualionot greater peril than during the winter'at Valley Forge. More than once they were absolutely without What hardships were undergone can. be.de­ duced from tho fact that only 5,000 out of the 17,000 who encamped there In December for that winter were fit for active duty. Clothing, no less than food, was scarce. Men wore each other's in order that the naked could he clad and take their turn at active duties.

"One account tells of Washington cold morning, meeting his sentinel as the commander left head- the Potts' house. The sentinel was making vigorous efforts with hie hands and legs tn order to keep warm. Noting this, Washington asked biru if he had hnd his breakfast. Upon receiving a negative reply, Washington hurried the sentinel inside the house, and while ho was being served a breakfast within, by Washington, George "Washington, with the sentinel's gun, stood guard outside his own house until the soldier's return, "Illustrative also of the conditions in the camp at beautiful yet tragic, Valley Forge, so close to Philadelphia, so near to the British, le the Democratic leaders In the house nre not expecllug any action to be taken on President Hoover's recommendation that $127,000,000 a year be cut from veterans' benefits. Uncle Hum pays to veterans moTe than $1,000,000,000 a year.

This la the largest single Hem of federal government cost. It does not represent the total cost ot wars, past and future. The army and the navy costs must be figured, so that the total outlay due to war and defensive preparation is about one-half the amount of federal appropriations. Unless the American' people are fortunate enough to escape conflict permanently, war finally may bankrupt the federal government. Another war similar to the Spanish- American or tho world conflict in their effect upon the United Stales treasury would cfdd more than a score of billions'of dollars to the public debt and another billion or so to the annual cost through bene-, fits to former service, men, These annual costs go on for generations.

Uncle Sam Is Btill paying scores of millions in pensions and maintenance of soldiers' homes because of the civil war, which ended nearly 70 years ago. Pensions are etlll paid to widows of veterans of the War of 1812. If no war involves the United States for another 100 years, Uncle Sam will be paying Boldiers' benefits In 2032. The country has been imposed upon by thousands on thousands of former soldiers. Veterans of many wars have drawn pensions and ob tnlned benefits to which they were not justly entitled, There ought to be some way to put an end to lm positions of this kind.

Former soldiers who are able lu mind and body, or who never were Injured or wounded In the service, or who are economically able to support themselves should not receive money from thi; federal government. Congress down through the generations of the republic's existence has employed too much sympathy and sentiment and not enough common sense In disposing of pension and benefit claims. It would seem that men who men to war, who engaged In who were wounded or Injured In the service through accident or exposure and who suffered permanent disability that handi- them, should be cared for bv all means. It would seem that njon who went to war, who engaged in battles and who escaped hurt ttud disability while In the service should receive nothing beyond the bonus already voted by congress. Also it would seem that men and women who were In the service, who never left the country, who suffered no wounds or Injuries and who as able in inlnd and body as they were It, WHAT'S IN A KISS Answer trie this.

What's in a kiss? content Or devilment? The end of the road Or just the beginning? A head to lose Or a heart for the winning? Sadness, gladness, Oft-times madness. Answer me this, What's not in a kiss? GARDNER, in the' Minneapolis Journal. OPINIONS OF OTHER EDITORS MANCHURIA IN THE WOULD FORUM R. YOSUKE MATSUOKA, Japan's representative at Geneva; had to listen to speech alter speech ot Indignation when the League assembly opend Its discussion of the. Manchuria problem.

The logic ho heard wus irresistible. For with one accord the orators, wisely enough, segregated the two aspects of the issue; one, the Stno-Japaneso dispute and, two, Japan dispute with the world, arising out of the aggressive methods which she has pursued in Manchuria. It was on this second aspect that the small powers, who dominate the assembly, directed their offensive. How far the Japanese have strayed from "legitimate self-tlcfense" Is apparent in the war news from Mah- churta which Is appearkiR side by side with the rejeord of the Geneva debutes. Nipponese troops are spreading out along that indeterminate frontier dividing Manchur'a from Mongolia.

If thlB amounts to protection of concessioner! property, hundreds of miles farther south, llien it Is a new use of tho term. The fact of tho matter that even in the lapaiiose lexicon it lias long been o'erloapt. Japanese militarism is in tho saddle, it has waited for this opportunity for many long years. Having embraced it, It has gone from one "justification" to another, add thet-e Is now apparently no hope that It will halt until nil the Mancburlan borders have been sealed. The sight is sufficient to account for the small Pnmers' chagrin.

It a great power caJBfrun amok in this fashion, what haremes of the peace treaties, which are the real frontiers of the Ieeeer nations, their true shield and buckler? Japan's action has done more to disturb their feeling of security (ban any other action since the World war. No wonder, therefore, that in unanimity they describe Manchuria as "this BUpreme test." Fortunately enough, the test ndays centers upon the acceptiag or ignoring of a formula which would satisfy tho requirements of justlco as well as of peace, namely, the Lytton report. If the conflict can be settled within the framework of this report, then the small nations will be to regain their case. To great credit the lesser states have shown a statesmanship on this occasion which did not always characterize their deliberations earlier in tho year. Some observers had expected that, responding to their emotions, they would Insist on a forward march to article 16, the "sanctions" article lu the League covenant.

So far they havo falsified tho prediction. Under the able leadership of Foreign Minister Eduard Beues, they are still sticking to article IB, which permits the fullest exploration of conciliation. It Is to be hoped that this attitude will persist. So much Is at stake and so Important Is the possibility of ushering In a new modus of relations in the Far East that the utmost patience Is justified in striving for a pcacing settlement. The problem has now been remitted to the more conversational forum of tho committee of nineteen, with Russia and tho United StateB added.

This should be all to the good. If the wor'd will stand together, the legions ot Nippon in all probability will be brought back to reason, after they have recovered from the excitement ot their rampage. The more immediate concern relates to the attitude of the two great non-League members. If their peace policy is worth anything at all to world organization, thy cannot ignore the call which will soon come their Christian Science Monitor. taxes against those wfio should never have been permitted to escape in the first place I appeal to all who believe In the efficacy of the amendment not to sit idly by, but to give support and courage to the legislature that will offset terrible pressure that will be brought to bear at Charleston In an attempt to further enslave the ens aved.

From hlB own experience in the legislature, he knows.how vigorously the privileged interests opposed, the levy limitation amendment. Hb appreciates the power they wie.ld tn the legislative affairs of this state, and- he knows the lengths to which they will go in an effort to avoid the tax shift made possible by levy limitation. It is well for both members of the legislature and the public: at large to be on guard.

It not, we will awaken some day to find that the tax load lias not been shifted from the ordinary citizen to the wealthy interests capable of bearing It, but merely from the tired shoulder to the other of the harrassed common Intelligencer. FROM Last Night's Mail By KODNEY DUTCHES of the voters In the recent presidential election writing In to protest against the suggestion that our old friend the "forgotten man" didn't know what he was doing when he decided, not to say won, the election by soundly trouncing the party In power. "-Doubtless that Is what a correspondent deserves when he advances the theory that the "forgotten roan" votes blindly when he supports the politicians who assured him they, were responsible for the nation's prosperity and equally blindly when they let him down ft tailing to deliver the goods and allowing him to suffer the consequences. The theory 1 based on the' fact that the electorate is seldom credited with perclplence and discrimination excepted by obviously prejudiced beneficiaries and on the certainty that if the "forgotten man" acted on his wisdom in burying Mr, Hoover, he must have erred sadly in defeating certain of his friends among Republican candidates at the primaries or the elections.

Turn- i Mn voice A WORD OF WARNING ECLARING recent talk about outlawing West Virginia's new land tax amendment "all hunk," former Delegate A. J.

Wifainson, of Huntington calls upon the people of West Virginia to give the incoming legislature sufficient courage to overcome the pressure of the privileged interests. Predicting an unprecedented effort to control the legislature In the enactment of new tax legislation made necessary by the amendment) Mr. Wilkinson said, during the course of a recent interview: "We the amendment limits the power to tax the farm and the home to a point where It met ability to pay, and will force the levying of By HUBBARD KEAVY is impossible to be a good housekeeper, says Marian Nixon, and a good actress, too. This statement is at variance with those of some actresses, who claim to be capable of managing their homes and their careers slmulr taneously. Marian admits that when she Is working fortunately," she was happy to say, "that is now practically all the she has no'time for her home.

Between pictures, Marian told me, there' are gowns, for personal and picture use, to be fitted, new hair- dresses to be arranged, photographed and tested, shopping to be done, manuscripts to be read, social obligations to be fulfilled. Marian, you see, takes her career very seriously. She. is determined to become a star and, one guesses, will allow no obstacle to stand in her way in reaching that goal. Marian bad an uphill fight, one that has lasted for more than eight years.

Only In the past year has alio moved into the front line of featuredom. "It probably sounds a little afr surd to say I haven't time to manage my house," said Marian, "but it's true. Movies are a full-time job, "Of course, I have a little time between pictures to perform a few housewifely jobs like checking over the linen and looking in the corners for dust. "When I do have two or three days of liberty, there are so many things to be done, things that are part of the job, that I have to leave house to be cared for by others." As proof of her continuous activity, Marian named seven films in which she has' had parte already this year. The rumors that she and her husband, the wealthy Edward Hill- nian are separated or separating continue to hpund Marian.

They have denied by her and HiH- man as often as they crop up. Marian told, me: "At first.Mr.. Hlllmah didn't like Hollywood, because he waa accustomed to living in ttie East. But how lie has friends here and he says he wouldn't want to live anywhere else." By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON. VEN assuming complete party harmony, two potential major obstacles to the Democratic legislative' program loomed impressively as senators and representatives gathered at Washington for the Opening of the final session ot the Seventy- second congress.

They are the veto power held by President Hoover and the senate's long-distance talking proclivities. However successful may be every other maneuver in forwarding the winter legislative budget planned by President-elect Roosevelt and his congressional advisers, the whole scheme or any paTt of it can be halted by a thinly disguised senate filibuster or by a presidential thumbs down on an otherwise complete bill. TDUT the "forgotten man," insofar as he has been willing to express himself to your correspondent, Indignantly- denies the cttarge that he "swung blindly." His eyes were wide open, says he. One such protest comes from a linotype operator in a southern city. He obviously considers himself one of the "forgotten" group, though he says he has.been fortunate enough to have.a job thus far.

He used to publish a small weekly newspaper. (Receiving a letter from a linotype operator is the sort of unusual thing a correspondent brags about to other correspondents.) "You are mistaken," says he. "He (the forgotten man) struck out In fury, but not tn blind fury. He knew who he was whose hide be wanted. He was striking out against the gigantic industrial power companies, the railroads, the bankers and the telephone company, To htm they represented the Republican the government which will demand the sacrifice of a man's life and family In its service during war time, but when that man and his family, are hungry and cold will bayonet him and gas and 'bomb his wife and babies.

"The forgotten, man sees the banker whose bank closed, taking his life savings, walking the street in fine raiment or driving a large shiny new automobile while the forgotten depositor walks in soleless shoes, threadbare clothes and empty stomach, searching but rarely finding, a few days' work in order to buy a loaf of bread and pay wartime prices for gas, lights and water. "The forgotten man has seen Hoover turn to the representatives of the power and banking interests for advice in extending relief. AVERAGE FLYING CADET figures taken by the medical'dlvlsion, office of the chief of the air corps, the average flying cadet graduated from the advanced Hying school, Kelly Field Is 24 years feet 9 and a quarter inches tall, weighs 155 pounds, has a pulse of 71, a blood pressure of 116, and a depth perceptive of 12. These figures cover statistics over a period of four or five years. say the forgotten man looks with fishy eye upon Roosevelt now that he Is elected.

No, he not look with fishy eye on Roosevelt. He looks with fishy eye on such men in the Democratic party as Jack Garner, vice-president-elect, wealthy banker of Texas, who fought the bonus and the LaFollette Costigan bill, donated millions to the corporations and then tried to put a federal sales tax on every article to be purchased by the forgotten man, Including power bills. "Will Mr. Roosevelt listen to the Federation of Labor, representative of millions of organized forgotten men and millions more not" organized; the representatives of the rank and file of ex-soldiers, their families and friends, or will he listen to the sweet song of 'AH is well' sung by the bankers, the chambers of commerce, foes of every wage earner, and the representatives ot the power trusts and railroads who are now exploiting millions more forgotten men?" What all this Indicates as to the relative blindness of the "forgotten man" seems to be a good field for argument. West Virginia Briefsl theft of 11 cases pf explosive powder from the Webb Coal company near here was reported to etate police.

Physicians held little hope for his recovery. A WASHINGTON BYSTANDER the two, the Bystander is Inclined to view the senate rules as far more of a danger to the hopes the Democrats may have of avoiding an early special session of new congress than the prospect of vetoes by President Hoover.

After all, with a new eenate and house, each so completely in Democratic hands as to leave the Republicans in an all but powerless minority, what would be gained by obstructive tactics this winter? If the Democrata can agree on a program now, their absolute power to put It through after March 4 meaiiB that to block the.bills this winter could only delay, not prevent, enactment. For that reason it appears possible that President Hoover will be inclined to exercise hie veto power only In what he feels to. be a vital case of policy disagreement. Bills aB to revenue -ralBing methods to balance the budget, as to farm relief or as to any other subject which may be framed in the winter session undoubtedly will show greater evidence of Republican influence in drafting than similar measures as they come from the next congress with its huge Democratic majorities. During the winter session the Republicans stand on an almost parity in voting strength In both Tiouse's by virtue of the 175 or so "lame duck" senators.and representatives still sitting, although voted out of office.

To get any program that obviate, or at least delay, for months necessity of calling a special session of the new congress. Democratic leaders obviously will 1 have to seek all the Republican support it can find. such necessity faces the majority party, after' March 4. Wherefore It would seem that Republican leadership might well prefer to get whatever legislative benefits its stronger status in the dying congress- provide rather than, through exercise of the veto, throw the program into the next congress with its numerically feeble Republican Influence. DAILY HEALTH SERVICE 3 By DR.

MORRIS FISHBEFN The person' who is compelled to wear any form of removable appliance in the mouth to replace natural teeth has special problems to which dentists have heen giving concern. False teeth, artificial teeth, removable' bridges and plates are Included In, this category. The dental society of Portland, recently has Issued a bulletin on the considerations involved. The society points out first of all that the person Who is going to lose his natural teeth by extraction because of Infections or due to any other cause should have a thorough study by the uee ot the X-ray before any natural teeth are The dentist who le going to make the artificial denture can then advise intelligently which teeth may be extracted. This Is particularly im- fortant because he wants to restore the patient's natural appearance and he wants to retain everything possible to permit the making of the most suitable denture.

To do this he takes impressions of the mouth, makes a record of the patient's profile and facial contour studies the natural color of the teeth and similar factors. It is sometimes possible In making an artificial denture to correct the lower portion ot the face. When a person is fitted with an art'ficlal denture his exprlence Is like being fitted with a suit or a dress. It may not be exactly right the first time and some adjustments may necessary. When the work Is completed the patten': should not assume that it Is permanent.

The human body is a growing and' charming organism which differs from year to year. This means that dentures should be studied from time to time if they become uncomfortable so that old ones may be refitted or new ones substituted. If this Is not done there actually may be changes In the appearance of the face, deep lines and wrinkles being associated in some instances with the constant wearing of unsuitable dentures. Artificial plates and teeth must be given even more care than natural teeth. Tbey should, be brushed carefully end thoroughly after each meal and on going to bed at night.

In this cleaning, cold or lukewarm wr'er should be hot water. It is just as important to be careful about handling dentures as handling expensive eyeglasses. The dentists sivrgest that when removing the dentures from the mouth the wearer should lean over a washbowl filled two-thirds full of water and hold the plates close, to the water when brushing them. Then the water will break the fall If he happens to drop the artificial plate. It is not advisable to try to crack nuts with artificial teeth.

Biting threads, eating hard candy and chewing on bones are sometimes responsible for ruining expensive dentures. Throwing The Harpoon President Hoover Intends to take a vacation after March 4.
