Soe 6, THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1878) EER PROSPERITY AND HEALTH Prosperity ruined many a stomach. When | money was flush in wartime, people slipped away | from plain food and bought lobsters, fancy jellies, | candied fruits and high-priced canned meats. | Fred Dutton, grocer from Columbus, O., tells a) canners’ convention that fancy food is going out! and plain old-fashioned staples — like canned to-; matges and corned beef and’ cabbage—coming! back. : This, is bad news for delicatessen dealers and} stomach specialists, but it is fortunate for the na-! tional health. Most of us dig our graves with our} teeth. Business depression occasionally is a blessing in disguise, starving some into good health. , More people commit suicide with’ their!

Divorce lawvers in Sweden check up and dis- cover that the third year is the “crisis” in married | Hfo. Thet’s when mates are most likely to agree to disagree. = Sir George Lewis, England’s fashionable divorce luwyer, savs the danger period is between the sev- enth and tenth years. j Both of them are wrong. The real danger per- iod In married life is before the knot is tied — when he or she picks the wrong mate. Men and.women are called on to make many | important decisions in life, but none as vital as} whom to marry. Many of us, in love’s gamble, back the wrong card. One out of nine American weddings ends in divorce. NEON For 20 years neon gas has been an almost‘ use- less curiosity in the chemist’s laboratory. Now it will be put to work, in an improved spark detector for autoists, says a bulletin of American Chemical Society. | Every discovery made by man has, potential | usefulness, though it may be useless when discov- ered and for years following. The Einstein theory doesn’t seem to be import-| ant in the average man’s life. It isn’t—now. Fu- ture will use it constantly. For it’s the beginning of man’s thinking in four dimensions instead of | three. QUAKES Earthquakes soon will be predicted, same as! weather is forecasted in advance, according to| Professor A.:C. Lawson of the University of Cali- | fornia. ‘ : ‘ | Predicting will be done by watching the “creep” Of the earth—slight and gradual changes ‘in lati- | tude. These precede quakes. ( “Warned of coming quakes, inhabitants could | speed away, returning to rebuild after the dis- aster. eon is ideal scientific work—saving of human life. COMPLEX : : The telephone wires in United States would make 100 unbroken telephone lines from the earth to the moon. Over those wires, Americans daily carry on 33,- 000,000 phone conversations. Yet it is only 45 years since the ‘telephone was invented. Our civilization is becoming terrifically complex. Is the machine getting so intricate that we cannot make it function? Often it seems’so. Maybe the real cure for our economic troubles is a return to the simple life. « FIRE Many farmers this winter will burn corn for fuel. Department of Agriculture says corn at 25 cents a bushel equals coal at $12.50 a ton. Many miners are idle, no market for their prod- duet. Many people are starving while others burn corn. Things certainly are tonsv-turvev. Worst nart of the lack of balance is that miners can’t eat coal. : Production’problem has been practically solved. Problem of distribution has barely been touched. OYSTERS , Tony Primiano opened 1278 oysters in an hour, winning a contest at Warren, R.I. He claims the the administration, over the alarmed protest of yates Pioneer’ world championship. As far as we're concerned, he can have it. Anyone who has even tried |to open even one of the nvesent situation in national political! af- | He sa s {has speed and that his fingers must be powerful | lenough to pull a spike out of an oak plank. | | The oyster contest, however, would make most ‘of us yawn if we participated. What is it that |makes people interested in so many different ithings | And what sort of contest-interests you most ‘Probably it is clogely allied to the thing that'd) ibring you greatest success. | HAREMS In India, where girls often marry when they are | jeight, 40,000,000 fare in harems. That’s about as -|many girls and women as there are in the United | ‘States, not counting old ladies. Woman, in Caucasian civilization, has made great progress toward liberty and equality, com- ‘de Bismarck). . eay {pared with the Orient, though she still has a lot ‘coming to her. 4 Dr. William Lewis Chapman, ill, was wheeled into Sing Sing hospital. Sitting in an invalid chair, he operated, removing a bullet from the! brain of Roman Leondowski, life-termer, That} was seven months ago. It is announced that the! operation has cured Leondowski of insanity. ' Physicians some day will have charge of all criminals. | Surgeon’s knife removes bullets from brains. Can it remove wrong ideas? Why not? ; , CHEAP i In Anatolia, where Greeks marched against Turks, food prices are so low that visitors rub their eyes and pinch themselves. Eggs sell for 6 cents a dozen there, a whole sheep for 60 cents. | But wages in Anatola are correspondingly low. When you find a soft snap, look for the joker. There always is one. PROFITS | a The railroads madé $530,665,927 net profits in the 12. months ended last August'31. In announc- ing this: the Association of Railway Execntivec points out that it is an annual earning of a frac- tion less than 3 per cent on investment, Grain growers, cattlemen, cotton planters and many manufacturers who have been selling at a loss will envy the poor, unfortunate railroads. INCOME To get furs for women, thousands of trappers toil in Canada’s terrific winter cold. Latest report shows that Canadian trappers in one year brought to the market the pelts of 2,924,- 500 fur-bearing animals. ‘ These were worth a total of $10,122,571. During the boom, one auto manufacturer in De- troit is understood to have made'that much in 20 days. x RIPE : The wrecking crews, sent out by economists to investigate the business smash that began: in 1920, make this comment: “A great business boom occurs, roughly, every. 50 years.” These periods of higlt prices and prosperity coincides with big wars. Big prosperity booms culminated in the World War, the Civil War and the Napoleonic Wars. Is war the cause, of prosperity or prosperity the cause of war? Probably the latter, though it’s like the problem: Which came first, the egg or the chicken? EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this. column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. MIDDLEWEST SHOWS POWER The center of “political gravity” in the United |States has moved west. Harding’s advocacy of \the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes waterways "project is proof of the significant change. New York stands opposed to this development \because it acutely realizes that construction of the waterway would mean the loss of a vast volume of export and import freight which now flows over jits wharves. New England also is opposel, although it has not been as active in fighting the proposal as New York. ‘In this case, there is fear—which is justi- fied in every way—lest construction of the water- way may result in the loss of industries, attracted to the Middle West because of nearness to raw material supplies once direct ocean transportation ‘has been assured. Time was when this opposition would have been sufficient to have killed any proposal in which the active aid of the Federal government was in- volved. It is not beyond the bounds of possibility ‘that an Eastern “bloc” hostile to the improvement may delay action on necessary appropriation measures for years. é Yesterday. however. addressing the farm con- ference, President Harding unreservedly com- imended this means of reaching “the heart of the) .;..; ‘continent. with its vast resources in both agricul- | \tare and industry.” It is this district—the Mid-| idle West—which alone is making a fight to obtain | |Federal aid for the project.

As usual, ‘there will be two sonventions, one of rural delegates representing league units and the other representing labgr organiza- tions. \ Townley would’ stand an excellent chance of putting his program thnough the \Nonpartisan league conventions, but with the present outlook he could aot get approval from’ the radical tabor meecing.

He’s Lost Knack “North Dakota,” he went on, “is the only state in the .country where the farmers and laboring men have s:uck. I don’t seem to be able to make it work anywhere else. I've lost the knack, T think.” H The league made a mistake when it | did not trust government affairs to | regular politicians in North Dakota, ; he indicated, in a semiapology for break-down of the league administra- ; ion there. Farmers and working ‘ men, he said, should not elect men to | office who know nothing about gov- ; ernment. “We've tried that and it don’t work,” | fe said. “Our government is run by peliticiar They will always run it.
