There are several bids in from local truck agents and they handle standard equipment. If prices; and other conditions are equal, the local menj should get the business. While the voters of Bismarck decided against > a bond issue for the purchase of a fire truck at a cost of $15,000; the vote should in no way be con-| strued as hostile to better fire protection. That responsibility rests:with the members of the city commission and if they have found a way to finance ? the purchase of a fire truck without increasing : the tax load, the citizens generally are not going to oppose the expenditure within reasonable limits. i The Tribune has taken the position from the start that the purchase of a moderately priced fire truck could be financed out of the regular tax in- come by the practice of a little well advised economy. :’ Doubtless the commission has found a way to do this very thing. Editor | MESSAGE FROM MARS | The. most startling possibiltiy in your lifetime is that you may pick up a newspaper one of these days ‘and read this headline: SCIENTISTS DECIPHER ' WIRELESS FROM MARS That is very apt to happen, says Marconi, who again insists that he. is intercepting wireless waves that seem to originate somewhere. out. in space, not on the earth. Telsa and Edison, two other great scientists, also believe that Mars’may be inhabited and that| communication between it and the earth is only a matter of. time. Steinmetz, the electrical wizard, says it would cost $1,000,000,000 to build a wireless apparatus of sufficient power to send a return message to Mars. ’ The closest Mars ever gets to the earth:is about 50,000,000 miles. At times it is 250,000,000 miles away. : | Scientists who believe that Mars is inhabited | make these two arguments: . ONE: Mars has water, heat, atmosphere and changeable seasons, like the earth, in which hu- man life could exist. i | TWO: Great astronomers like Lowell and Pick- it ering presented rather convincing evidence that Mars is inhabited. This was their evidence: Mars has large Polar snowcaps. These appear to melt, with the coming of summer, the water being conveyed over Mars, in what seem to be artificial irrigation canals. As} the water fills these canals, the.canal zones be- come darker, suggesting vegetation rising in the desert. What the astronomers see is not the canals, but the strips of vegetation along them. To dig and handle such vast engineering feats as the Martian canals would require high intelli- gence. What would be the first. message from Mai's? ? Probably this: “We are slowly freezing and dying of thirst.” ' For that describes life on Mars —an ancient planet, a desert probably artificially irrigated. And the temperature on Mars is about twice as/ cold as on the earth, according to estimates by \ _ Dr. C. B. Abbott, director of the Smithsonian | * Astrophysical Observatory. se { = Could Mars tell us much? Unquestionably. if ” For civilization, if it exists up there, probably is 200,000 years in advance of ours. How to communicate? Mathematics is the only = universal language. Maybe Marconi, Telsa and Steinmetz are} wrong. Maybe Mars is, as most people think, just a bright light in space for man to look at. But the possibility of communicating with Mars, by i ‘> electricity, is the greatest and most fascinating prospect confronting the imagination of man. ate sabe ane! case # “Ivanhoe” is one of the books most often taken out of three of the largest branches of the New York public library and other novels by the same author are “more in demand than ever before.” : Literary fashions come and go, but even after the lapse of more than a hundred years Sir Walter reas me TRIBUN Elyoung readers, for whose wholesom |the exchange and beat it.

The Paris authorities hasten to explain that these disappearances are not an indication of the city’s crime record. Investigation discloses that the great majority of those who disappear are wives who have tired of their husbands and choose this as the easiest way of solving their marriage difficulties. WIVES As women check up the first year of their politi- cal enfranchisement, Mrs. Florence Hilles, new chairman of the women’s party, comes out with 37 recommendations, for, giying women equality with men. : } ah Ve : Par ste y Most interesting of these is “the right of wo- men to keep their maiden names after marriage.” Time works strange changes. The day may come when John Smith, marrying Susan Browne, will have to change his name to Mr. Susan Browne. LABOR.SHORTAGE Hawaii is one“of'tlé"féw places in the world, if not the only one, where there is a labor short- age during these times of world-wide depression. The scarcity there is so acute that the loss of half the sugar crop is threatened because of in- ability to harvest it. Unless the situation can be relieved before October the sugar planters face a loss of between $50,000,000 and $60,000,000. That’s why Washington has been appealed to to permit a suspension of the law excluding the Chi- nese so that 25,000 of them may be brought in. : RABBIT ae A rabbit fights and whips a hound belonging to:John Andrews, farmer, says a report from Kinston,.

The probated will of Prof. George Trumbull Ladd, of Yale, provides for cremation of his body and burial of part of his ashes under a camphor tree‘he planted in Nagasaki, Japan. That would interest Attila the Hun, who died in the year 453. He thought he had devised for himself the most unique funeral of all times, by ordering his burial in a gold coffin and execution of the burial party so that the grave’s location would forever be a secret. ° SPEED A world’s record is broken by a pigeon which carried a message from Mayor Thompson, of Chi- cago, to President Harding. : \ » The bird flew an average of 39 miles an hour] for 16 hours. : Think of the tremendous energy stored in its wings. eee dine Artificial power, like gasoline, is not nearly as wonderful as the power Nature gives to those/ most perfect machines, the bodies of birds, -ani- mals and humans.

The story concerns Peter, a young man who has served a. prison sentence but who is living straight, working as @ butler in a fashionable home. In the same house lives his sweetheart Claire, a maid, who also has had a past, but who holds herself subject to Peter’s commands. Peter is recognized by a former warden of the prison where he was confined and his identity is revealed. But the em- ployer decdes to give Peter a chance to make good. The former warden seeks to embroil Peter’s employer in a fraudulent scheme to defraud tho stockholders of a company. in which both are inter- ested and when the ex-warden ob- tains a proxy which gives him the balance of power, Peter contrives a general hold-up of the guests of a party at which the former warden is present. The only person who loses anything is the ex-warden and his proxy has been stolen! Peter turns this over to his employer and when this motive in staging the supposed hold up is revealed, his future is made secure. The picture is filled with thrills and there is much relishable comedy. The story is one of dramatic strongth and its heart appeal is irresistable. A Christie comedy, “Nobody's Wife,” and a Chester Screenic are on the same program. @ BISMARCK. NORTH DAKOTA © Known all over the Northwest for Quality ® MAIL US YOUR FILMS © ‘HIS.
