REAL HERO It is always good to read about gensine bravery. Lieutenant Jovice, of the Jugoslavian Infantry, was lecturing his platoon on hand grenades recenty.

He exhibited grenade, pointed to the firing pin, and explained that the grenade would explode just five seconds after the pin was pulled out. And just at that moment, through some mischance, the pin fell out! The room was full of soldiers. Many would be killed it the grenade exploded there. Out of the window was a courtyard, also full of men. To throw it out the window would kill some of them.

And Lieutenant Jovice had just five seconds to think. Quickly he ordered his men to lie Dat. Then he ran to a corner and hugred the grenade tightly to his side. The five seconds passed, and the grenade exploded. Lieutenant Jovice's right arm was torn off- no one else was hurt.

It will be a long time before you read of a braver man than he. CAVALRY ISN'T OUT OF DATE While President Hoover and the army general staff are looking for ways in which the army budget can be pruned of unnecessary expenditures, a number of civilians have suggested that the cavalry might well be abolished. At first glance, this looks like a good idea Cavalry is of little use in trench warfare, and trench warfare seems to be all the rage in modern war. Airplanes do the scouting that cavalry used to do; and when you face your enemy over a 200 length of unbroken trenches the cavalry cannot perform the "screening" function that once made it so valuable. Furthermore, the cid-style cavalry charge could never live under the fire of machine guns and rapid-fire field artillery.

Consequently, the proposal to abolish the 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 combat. In semi-desert and mountainous country the cavalryman would be invaluable.

In addition, there are plenty of compeient military men who believe that the cavalry could have been used in the World War far more than it was. It has been said, by men fully qualified to speak, that the allies could have won the war long before they did if they had had enough cavalry divisions ready for use on the western front at the right time. One critic has said that only the tack of sufficent cavalry prevented Pershing from completely smashing the entire German line at the battle of St: Mihiel. Modern armies are pretty well mechanized, what with airplanes, tanks, motor trucks and the like. But it remains to be proved that the -time, picturesque cavalryman is out of date Meanwhile, it is foolish to suggest that our army lop off this arm.

LETTER By Rodney DuTCHER -When an ordinary person dies it's just too bad and his surviving relatives have to figure out how to meet the funeral expenses. But when a member of Congress passes to his reward his death and burial are expensive for the federal! treasury. When a Congressman dies an adjournment is taken in respect to the departed brother, resolutions of sorrow are drawn up, a committee of 10 or 15 men is appointed to escort the remains home, a Sunday is set aside to eulogize the dead man both in the Congressional Record and a special volume and the bill may run as high as $20,000. No matter how obscure a member may have been nor how unpopular he gets all this, attention when he is dead. 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 railroad fares alone, for there was a committee of 14 and a sergeant-atarms 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 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 $10 000, 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 runs into the thousands.

The burial expenses and all incidental expenses of the committee are pair, and although members of the House are limited to a $400 casket there's no limit on 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 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. Last year the Baltimore Ohio railroad collected $6481 for fares, berths and food in connection with the funeral of the late Senator Jones of New Mexico.

Few ceremonies here are more remarkable than the Sunday eulogies. The Senate eulogizes merely its own, but the House always eulogizes a dead senator, though it may wait until two or three years after his death. The House custom is to eulogize four or five deceased members on the 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. His eulogy, as shown in the Record, is crammed with such time-worn phrases as "grief-stricken yet grateful public," "last full measure of devotion," "the transient life of man," "the mystical problem of life," "the great caravan from whose bourne no traveler ever returns," "his spirit marches down the aisle of eternity," "he stands naked before the great white throne of God" and much more of the same. This is typical of congressional eulogies. Some great ones have been deliveredator Jim Reed's tribute to late LaFollette was a classic- many are pretty cheap. Those studded with poetry probably are the worst.

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 Sargon Soft Mass Pills.
