You have watched Bismarck’s growth, tried to guess which suburb would develop next or where the center of the shoppign district would move in another 50 years. . You have heard old residents tell almost un- believable stories of the old days in Bismarck and the changes that have been wrought by time. Yet those changes are nothing to what the fu- ture will bring. . S - Editor Y DETROIT Kresge Bldg. TH — What will Bismarck be like in, say, the year gon ard to anwer. But eventually our city will inevitably crumble into the dust. It may’ take thousands of years, but history. repeats, and all cities, all civilizations, ultimately vanish. Suppose you could turn back the clock and visit Babylon, Ninevah, Thebes or Tyre in the days before they were depopulated and turned into ruins with passing of the civilizations which they crowned. — You’d talk to the inhabitants and they’d give you a great laugh if you suggested that “even this may pass awdy.”. : In the “Arabian Nights”. you read of the glor- ies of ancient Bagdad. At the height of its power, Bagdad was as big. as Chicago of today., Over- night came Chinese ‘armies, beheaded the’ 800,- 000 inhabitants who had not fled, and built a pyramid of the heads." Bagdad crumbled into the desert sands—so desolute that. it, was never re- built, the new Bagdad rising across the river. The men who afe erecting the giant Bush build- ing in London, England, believe that: in a few thousand years London may be a deserted ruins, with archeologists excavating to learn the habits and customs of the people of 1921. So, deep down in the concrete foundations of the Bush building, they are constructing a sealed chamber in which will be deposited articles typi- cal of our present civilization. Acting on the advice of H. G. Wells, the ar-| ticles will inclide a safety razor, a cotton reel, a bottle of pickles, a mail-order catalog, some pat- ent medicines, a typewriter, a sewing machine, | a railroad time-table, a moving picture machine and film. : ‘| Archeologists of the year 4000 or later, digging under the Bush building, will scratch their heads| bewilderedly and try'to guess what these crude articles might have been used for by the barbar- ians of 1921. . LONG SKIRTS RETURN M. Joseph Paquin, a dressmaker whose name all women recognize, says that the day of abbre-|entertainec view that the evil of immorality is; it, but there is no denying the photo- viated dress has passed, and that a renaissance of modesty is at hand. That’s in Paris, changes of style thére are soon reflected in tne United States. He says short skirts and low cut corsages are Which Rev. Mr. Straton favors has never been| be going, and that long and full skirts are a feature | fully tested, it is a matter of historic record that) t of spring models he has designed. So, aspects of women’s Gress against which some men have been inveighing, are to disap- pear. Will that end criticism of women’s dress? Probably not. j Magazines of bygone periods show that there in those periods when dresses were long, and the fashion was to look demure. Psychologists may} be right who say that immodestiy is less often in. what is viewed than in the mind which complains, of it. | Seah, Ae Sem AFTER NINETY YEARS “Europe’s tottering civilization” has become a stock phrase of current editorial discussion. But it’s not the first time that it has seemed .to be tipping over while the horrified spectators look: on ‘helplessly. See what Thomas Carlyle wrote in 1831: “Sad to look upon in the highest stage of civili- zation, nine-tenths of mankind have to struggle, in the lowest battle of savage or even animal man; the battle against Famine * bred “In one country we haye seen lava-torrents of fever-frenzy envclope all things; government succeeds government like the phantasma of a dy- ing brain. In another country, we can even now see in maddest alisvnation, the peasant govern- ed by such guidar<e as this: To labor earnestly one month in raisir¢g wheat, and the next month Jal earnestly in burning it. vee 1 4 jlacks the moral ideals and the moral courage to never has been more criticism of fashions than! THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE jless hopeless than the Europe that ‘seems toter- ing now. ¢ ‘ “Society, were it not by nature immortal, and its death ever a new birth, might appear, as it does in the eyes of some, to be sick to dissolution, ‘and even now writhing in its last agony.” ' The “dying” Europe of Carlyle’s' time got well Fifth Ave. Bldg. and flowered into a civilization that made the’ nineteenth century the most progressive of the ‘ages. &® The lession of history is the consolation of de- | Spair. _ MAIL IT EARLY Do you let your business letters pile up during the day and then dump them into the mail boxes around 5 in the afternoon? If so, you are help- | | | ‘ing -delay the delivery of mails by 12 hours, ac-! cording to postoffice officials. In Chicago, for instance, more than 1,5000,000 ‘letters are mailed between 5 and 6 o’clock p. m. iIt’s the same story in every town. | . The postoffice “sorters” are bound to get be- |hind schedule if a whole day’s work floods them in one hour. Then, too, evening mail trains are overcrowded, while morning and afternoon trains carry little mail. Make those early trains with your letters, by posting ‘your mail thruoghout the day——and help the postoffice give you quick service. | | i BACK TO EARTH We all had to speed up during the war. It didn’t matter how much it cost to get a thing done, just so it was done fast. Hence it fre- quently was considered all right to pour money down the sewer, just so it produced Speed. “We've got to get that idea out of our heads,” says the general manager of a big corporation. “Mark you, I don’t mean that we can slow down. We've all got to buckle in and work harder than ever—to make business good again and to pay off our enormous national debt. awful time getting that idea out of their heads.: When they want a pencil, their first thought still is to wire for it. : “We've got to get rid of that idea—and go back, to the old-time way of doing things on an econom-: ical basis, back to a postage-stamp instead of a telegram schedule. Expenses have go to pared tothe core. The individual and business that, economize are the only ones that can survive.) The war-time spending drunk is over.

John Roach Straton of New York! to say: - Sickening as the details are, I am glad! the newspapers are publishing them. Let those/ | who are guilty of these infamies be brought. to \the bar of an enlightened and righteous public| /opinion.” This is contrary to the rather widely-| | minimized by hushing up the facts. It is a fair; But| question for debate, and undoubtedly there is) ‘“Nine-tenths of the American towns ;much to be' said on both sides. Yet it should be observed that whereas the remedy of publicity | ithe lack of newspaper publicity has never in the ‘slightest degree checked social decadence. | The logical conclusion seems to be that public- jity may do good provided it stirs society to’ de-| ‘fend itself from corruption, and that if society do that its case is too hopeless for the question of method in dealing with immorality to be of great consequence. |Why, asked Mr.. Straton,' should not men of prominence who figured in di- rovce scandals be ousted from their business po- sitions of responsibility, excluded from .their clubs, and ostracised sociaty? Why not, in short,| apply the treatment which President Hadley of! Yale urged years ago for the curbing of those) whom Theodore Ropsevelt called “malefactors of! great wealth”? Publicity can at least be said to! put the responsibility squarely up to society. “ | If society shirks that responsibility and ami-) ably condones the offenses of people of social! prominence, nothing further can be done till a! wave of reform clears the moral atmosphere. ; The actual conditions may not be so bad as Mr. Straton depicted them or as an occasional sensa-| tion case aired in the courts and the newspaper, would suggest. But it is admitted that the moral, tone which prevails. is far from ideal, and it is rather generally. felt that laxity is increasing.’ If this is the case the cure is quite certainly not; to be found in suppression of the:facts; it may perhaps be found in publicity but only if public! pinion gives firm support to the cause of moral.

Main Street Monotony| By Dr. William E. Barton Mr. Lewis has set the literary crit- ics discussing his book “Main Street.” Those of us who were born, as I was, on Main Street in an American town, know that life’ th is not quite so sordid and uninviting as he describes graphic accuracy of many of his de- scriptions, He says: are so much alike that it is the com- pletest boredom to wander from one to another. There is the same lum- r yard, the same railroad station, @ same garage, the same creamery, he shame box-like, houses and two- story shops * * * Such a society functions admirably in the large pro- duction of cheap automobiles, dollar watches, and safety razors. ‘But it is not satisefid till the entire world also admits that the end and joyous pur- pose of living is to ride in flivvers, to make advertising pictures of dollar watches, and in the twilight to sit! talking not of love and courage but of the convenience of safety razors: * * * The more intelligent young] people and the fortunate widows flee to the cities with ability, and, in spite; of fictional tradition, resolutely stay there, seldom returning even for the holidays. The most protesting patri- ots of the towns leave them, if they can acord it, and in old age go to live in California or in the cities.
