By this token there should have been an aud- ience of hardly more than 150 people at the city Auditorium last night. The audience did number more than 1,000. It was more than 30 percent of the normal voting population “of the city of Bismarck. It was a remarkable demonstration of the advancement of civic spirit in Bismarck. For the people present were there because they are interested in the yrowth and development of Bismarck on sound lines and in the potentialities of the coal industry of the state. The audience was a tribute to the work of the Associa- tion of Commerce in the last year. It was a warning to any zone who would seek to balk the civic advancement of Bis- marck for political or selfish gains, it is a warning to “poison spreaders” who would place other issues paramount to the general welfare of the city. Bismarck is the hub of the lignite industry. That indus- try can and will grow if it receives the ;full support of the people of the state and the people fight’ to protect it. The community is indebted to Major Stanley Washburn for his clear exposition of what lignite means to the Northwest in assuring cheap and plentiful fuel, of what far-reaching effect upon its industrial future the great gift of nature may have. It was a renewed testimonial to the faith held in North Dakota by her citizens and her people; it ‘was good to see =such men as Judge Christianson, Governor Nestos and Gov- ernor Hanna, who hold or have held high official positions, and who know North Dakota, stand before an audience and reaffirm their abiding faith in the commonwealth. SILLY GIRLS ds a silly girl more popular than the intelligent girl? This momentous question (don’t be too sure it isn’t momen- tous) was discussed recently by young ladies at University ot Chicago. There’s a popularly accepted belief that a frivolous girl is more attractive to men than a.girl inclined to discuss the Hinstein Theory in preference to the latest movie sensation. This belief, of course, is based on the supposition that men seek the company of women during leisure hours when. they want companionship that’ll be a complete change from the monotony of humdrum business. a A frivolous beauty undoubtedly is more alluring than a homely highbrow. Beauty compensates considerably for ivory brain. But an intelligent beauty has the field to her- self, a combination supreme. And deliver us from a homely woman who’s also silly. Publishers DETROIT Kresge Bldg. The final answer, of course, is in the law that water isn’t the only thing that seeks its own level. Personality and in- telligence also seek their own level. ‘The appeal of the so-called silly type of femininity is mainly to the silly type of man. The intelligent girl appeals _ Primarily to intelligent men. The law slips a cog frequently, when the leading actor wants to gratify personal vanity by comparison. For in- ‘stance, a beautiful woman can get a thrill by associating with women of lesser charms and observing her superiority sin this particular. So with mentality, there’s a natural ela- tion and satisfaction when any one discovers that his brain “power is superior to his associates’. Such is the psychology of the intelligent man attracted to| the “nobody home” type of feminine beauty. He’s gratify- : ing: his vanity, rather than worshiping the girl. __ ‘Our associates are mirrors in which we can see our own! images, like attracting like—or our own weakness, like at- | tracting unlike, to gratify vanity. | ‘ _, ADOPTS ALL FORMS ‘ Lizards, living in dark caves for thousands of years, became blind. Their eyes shrank and disappeared under the skin. Dr. Paul Kammerer, Austrian biologist, exposed sev- eral generations of these blind lizards to red light. Gradually :they “grew” eyes and could see. Nature eventually adapts all forms of life to their environ- ments. She changes them, giving new organs and shapes as needed and taking away what isn’t needed. This is a natural vlaw, and locked up in this law is the reason people have trou-| , bles and joys. Everything has a definite purpose. Nothing is ipfutile in our universe. DEATH A FAREWELL _ Aged Kentucky woman died, leaving these sealed instruc- tions: “I wish my funeral to be from my home. A cheap ;coffin and a plain gown. Let all who come to my funeral be TTY for I loved mirth when alive and I wish mirth when lead. : Do you believe in a life after death and that the departed :gone is going on to better and happier things? If so, death ‘should involve no more grief than bidding farewell to a loved tone departing on a joyous journey. pe a ee ot CONQUEST OF DISTANCE , _ It’s only 21 years since Augieres drove an auto at the then ‘phenomenal speed of 78 miles an hour. Airplane now travels ;mearly 300 miles an hour, or almost four times as fast as }tAugieres’ auto in 1902. It is not unreasonable to suppose that ‘speed will increase to 1000 miles an hour by 1950 or before. .') |The conquest of distance and time is the most outstandin, jecqomplishment of our generation. . - EDITORIAL REVIEW ————=— Comments reproduced {n_ this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.

FOLEY IN THE SCHOOLS The Grand Forks Business and Professional Women’s club of Grand Forks has initiated a move- ment for the recognition of James W. Foley, the North Dakota poet whose verse has charmed so many thousands, by faving a° special ‘day designated for the study of his poems in the public schools of the elate. nse is not to add to the pre Hist of holidays or xo cumber the curriculum with new material. tade in the study of Engtish a litle sipe- cial attention to a brilllant North Dakota writer, and to designate a particular time for that purpose. Foley's poems grew out of the soil and the atmosphere of North Dakota. They are as @truly the product of this state as are its wheat and cattle. In their grace- fully turned 1 their humor and their deeper sentiment they com- pare well with work of many whom we have considered masters and they have been considered worthy of a place in publications of unusually high standards and exacting requirements. The designation of a Foley day will not confuse the work of the of study. It will tend rather to stimulate interest in the study of English by bringing the pupils in- to what they will measure of personal contact with one of Its writers. It will further- more tend ‘o create in them an ap- an honorable pride in the fact. that one of its sons, reared on its plaing and educated in its schools, has produced jiterary work. of high rank, who has touched the strings of his harp so skillfully and tend- erly that its strains have awakened echoes in muititudes of hearts throughout the land. In seeking to promote this recog- nition the local society is engaged im a useful work, an hoped that t is 10 be the public authoricies veight to its recom- rand Forks Herald. THE DUTY OF CIVILIZATION Perhaps the fault of today lies somewhat in the alleged “decay of faith.” If this life is all, g¢t what you can before age sets in, is nat- urally its philosophy and creed. The larger view iis that age is the autumnal shutting down of the ac- tivities for a season. It is not dealth, but yest and recuperation for another spring. Then, like the vigorous tree, all ‘that we have gained and built into ourselves we retain and add to by new season: of vigorous and delightful growth. For all this, the studies that “de- velop taste and enrich personality” are clearly of the first importance, We must know what the great minds of ‘the race have thought and done, and we must, if possible, add thereto what little contribution we may, and pass ‘the torch on t> other hands.—-Barron News-Shield. ADVENTURE OF ' THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton The next riddle was Nick's. course the Riddle Lady helped him with the rhyme, but it was his own idea and he was very proud of it. This was it: “['m as round as a pencil and long as a bean, With the brightest red jacket, that ever was seen, I have fifty brave brothers strung in a row, ; Exactly alike from collar to toe. “We are not jumping-jacks, but we end with ‘a string, And like jumping-jacks, we’ all know how to sprin| If our coat tails catch fire, we burst with a Crack, Our lovely red jackets Split right up the back! “We are fond of gun powder—it’s chiefly our diet, But after we're stuffed, we myst keep very quiet, Not only hecause we're not fond of a racket, But each of us hes to have holes in his jacket. “Dates we cannot remember — there’s no use to try, But one thing we know—that’s the Fourth of July. Then our enemies fight us—they’re matches and punk, And after the Fourth we are nothing but junk, “The older folk hate us—we make such a noise, But we give pecks of pleasure to rackety boys, And that, we are told, is a fine way to end, i To willingly give up your life for a friend.” \ “What is it?” asked Nick proudly. * “Yes, what is it?” repeated Nancy who was ‘in the secret. “My goodness! I don’t know!” de- clared Jack Sprat. “And I don’t know!” said the Fat . “They don’t have such things the Fourth of July in Bombay where I live.” “It’s nothing I know about,” said the Pieman, who. was going through Riddle Town on his way to the Mar- ket Town Fair, “I'm relieved to know that there is somebody else besides myself who issafraid of getting a hole in his jacket,” chuckled Humpty Dumpty.
