A REAL HERO It is always good to read about gen- vjfne bravery. Lieutenant Jovice, of the Jugoslavian infantry, was lecturing his platoon on hand grenades recenty. He exhibited grenade, pointed to the firing pin, explained that the grenade would just five seconds after the pin pulled out.

And just at that moment, through mischance, the pin fell out! The room was full of soldiers. Many would be killed if the grenade exploded there. Out of the window was a courtyard, also full of men. To throw it oat the window would kill some of them. And Lieutenant Jovice had just five seconds to think.

Quickly he ordered Of course if a Pacific Coast congressman dies it's pretty expensive. When a California member passed away a few years ago it cost $5335 in for there was a and a sergeant-at- arms and one or two miscellaneous attendants, as usual, went along with the party. In such instances it is sometimes difficult to recruit a full committee, but there are usually congressmen who have never been to California and appreciate the free ride with expenses paid. The funeral com- mittee travels in a private car, and if the death comes toward the end of a session the opportunity to serve and do homage enables a member to save his men to lie flat. Then he ran to a corner and bugged the grenade tightly to his side.

The five seconds passed, and the grenade exploded. Lieutenant Jovice's right arm was torn no one else was hurt. It will be a long time before you read of a braver man than he. considerably on his mileage allowance if the destination Is anywhere near his own district. The initial expense of a member's death comes when the widow is paid $10000, a year's salary.

Each of his clerks receives a month's salary and the cost of eulogy and issuing special Congressional Records containing the eulogies runs into the thousands. The STEAMSHIP 192O EVERY DAY I FEEL.

I would gasp for air and run to the window to get my breath But that is all over now, an- so are the other things that both ered me headaches and constipation since I began the Sargon treatment.

"About ten years ago my health began to go down. My appetite almost left me and I began to suffer from stomach trouble. I developed a general catarrhal condition later and after that, the bad headaches started. It also grew to be a regular thing for me to take laxatives or some sort of medicine nearly every day. "Finally, I started Sargon and Sarv gon Soft Mass Pills.

Now I'm absolutely free of my former troubles and am prcud of my health. I've gained nine pounds, I never have headaches any more and my sleep is not broken by those smothering spells any more. I'm just better and stronger in every way. My husband also took Sargon and get wonderful benefits, so I don't know which talks about it the most, he or Cordelia E.

At first glance, this looks like a good idea Cavalry is of little use in trench warfare, and trench warfare seams to be all tiie rage in modern war.

Airplanes do the scouting that cavalry trod to do; and when you face your enemy over a length of unbroken trenches the cavalry cannot form the "screening" function that once made it so valuable. Furthermore, the eld-style cavalry charge could never live under the fire of machine guns and rapid-fire field artillery. Consequently, the proposal to abolish toe cavalry entirely sounds reasonable. But the question is far from being disposed of that easily. To begin with, there can still be conditions under which cavalry would be essential.

Not every war that we might get into would call for unbroken trench limit oh Senators. The records show that it cost $2250 to place the late Senator Willis of Ohio, in a state bronze casket and inter him in a udylite vault, plus other charges and one of $276.50 for broadcasting the funeral services. The highest price yet paid for a senatorial casket is $2500. Flowers, gloves for pallbearers, limousines and many minor charges make the bill pile up. Cigars, tips, taxis and such matters are charged up by members of the committees.

The House custom is to eulogize four or five deceased members on the same day, and few attend except those who are to speak.

From a half dozen to a score eulogies are accored each one. Sometimes, also, a colleague of the deceased can't wait until eulogy day. In the last session one member took the floor to eulogize a departed colleague whom few had ever heard of.
