There has been a slowing down in manu- facturing, particularly in the basic industry, steel. In Hlinois the employment index now stands at 8.6 per cent below May, 1923, and generally the level of industrial opera- tions is about where it was in October, 1922. The situation has been felt more keenly in central and southern Illinois than in Chicago, where a building boom has reduced unem- ployment. There is no lack of optimism among the industrial lead- ers, however. Uncertainties of a presidential year, with the coftinued turmoil Congress in the session just closed with respect to taxation, are held responsible in many quar- ters for a slowing down in the industrial field. Belief is expressed in many quarters that with the passing of the presidential year and a general improvement of conditions abroad, business activity will be much more brisk next fall. In some quarters economists regard the present situation as just another phase in the gradual readjustment of condi- tions to a more normal level. A decline in manufacturing production and a possible consequent price decline, together with good agricultural prospects, is expected by economists to improve the buying ratio of the farmer next fall. One of the leading economists asserts that in spite of the politi- cal upheavals abroad, Europe has made much progress to- ward economic rehabilitation. The railroads, while not re- porting Jarge returns, are constantly making improvements, and they constitute perhaps the largest single industrial purchasing power in the nation. The country at large has the soundest and largest volume of credit reserve in its his- tory. Ease of money is noticeable at this time in the bond market, and the seeking of investment by capital is expected by many leaders in business to make itself felt in increased activity in the next few mont JEKYLL-HYDE The terrble thriller, “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. de,” was wiitten by Stevenson in six days. This is disclosed in Lloyd Osbourne’s book about Steven- son. Writing this amazing novel in six days, Stevenson had to churn out 10,000 words a day. He wrote it sitting up in bed. That was Mark Twain’s system. __ Like all writers, Stevenson unquestionably had weeks When he couldn’t write an interesting word. Naturally, peo- ple used to talk about inspiration in writing. Now we know that “inspiration” is largely a physical condition—perfect co-ordination of the endocrine glands, with blood pressure high pulse, fast dnd the thyroid burning the body like a fur- n. ce with the draft open. : CHILDBIRTH More women have died in childbirth than men killed in all the wars. The international conference on this subject, to be held in London early in July, is especially important to Americans, for our material mortality rate is higher than in any other of the 20 leading nations. Nearly 19,000 American mothers will die in childbirth this year. Thousands could be saved by proper medical at- A “tention.

This doesn’t tally with the old story that the Israelites were delivered from bondage against the wishes of the king. Carter says archaeologists believe that the Exodus was a forced expulsion, as if the Egyptians feared the Jews would som own the country. Regardless of the Exodus, it’s true that persecution of the Jews through the centuries has been largely animated by’ jealousy—inability to compete with them, MORE DARIN Some situations are so obvious that they need no editorial ccmment. A judge in a courtroom at Winchendon, Mass., sniffs the air and detects the peculiar catsup odor of moonshine mash. Investigation discloses a 50-gallon still going full-blast in the cellar, nine feet under the judge’s bench. The bootlegging fraternity has been becoming more dar- ing. but this case wins the tin badge. In a sense, it is sym- bolic of the illicit liquor situation, conducted under the very nove of the law. DIRT One thing we’ll never conquer is dirt. Dusting, clothes washing, body bathing, machinery cleaning, floor sweeping. street scraping—all these are by-products of civilization and will last as long as civilization. The very existence of dirt and dust makes it certain that man will always have to work. The soap industry furnishes figures illustrating how dirt keeps us hustling. Americans this year will make 2500 million cakes of soap. Our lazy arcestors. invented perfumes so they wouldn’t have to use so much soap. BIBLE The Bible continues to’ be the world’s best seller.

Dawes for the vice pres- idency has set the Democratic | leaders guessing in anticipation of } the New York convention. In times past it has been the| habit for the most part to think of | the second e on a national ticket as palely incidental in com- ‘parison with the choice of a pres- idential nominee. This year, in both old iparties, the first. and sec- | ond places on the tickets are re- garded with almost equal serious- ness, and there is a reason, It is among the possibilities that neither the Electoral college nor the House ot Representatives will elect a president, but that that important | busin will go to the Senate. In that e the Senate would tbe con- fined in its choice to the two can- didates for the vice presidency re- ceiving the largest number of elec- toral votes. | There is not much doubt that these two candidates will be the Republican and Demo- cratic nominees. If the election of a President should go to the Senate, the atti- tude of the insurgent and third party members of that chamber will be of very great importance Senator LaFollette and those who take counsel of him as leader are not at all enamored of the Demo- ocratic party, but in the recent ses- sion of Congress they were even less enamored of the Republican party. The insurgent Republicans of the group are discordantly out of tune with the administration and what it stands for, while Senators Shipstead and Magnus Johnson have been valuable allies for the Democratic minority. In Charles G. Dawes the Repub- leans ha a financier-business man who is an aggre: sive conservative as c the vice presidency. The question for the Democrats to decide has to do with the type of man_ they should nominate to contest with Dawes. Should he be a man who will appeal to the -conservat! business interests of the country, or should he ‘be one who will make stronger appeal than Dawes to the LaFollette school of politics? In the answer to this question there must necessarily be consider- able gambling on the outcome of the November election. If there is to be a good prospect that the m ter of the presidency and vice pres- idency will be decided definitely by the people at the polls, good poli- tics would seem to be thay the Democrats should have a nominee tor the vice presidency of the sime type as Dawes. If the pros- pect appears to be otherwise, good politics would seem to dictate to the Democratic p y that its vice presidential candidate should be of a type more to the liking of insurg- ency’ and the third party than is Dawes. Here is where the Demo- cratic guessing contest comes in. Nobody can foretell what will hap- pen in-November. The Democratic problem is further complicated by geographic ‘consideration and by the political outlook in various states that may ‘be classed in the doubtless column. — Minneapolis Tribune. | PEOPLE'S FORUM | > THE DAW TH ON HISTORY OF BISMARCK Editor Tribune: As a matter of pioneer history I desire to comment on what I be-| lieve are a few inadvertent errors in Miss Elizabeth Jone’s very esting story published in Friday's Tribune on the early history of the Presbyterian Church, and of the pioneer women of Bismarck. Miss Jones says, “Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Dunn are the only two of the pioneer women of this early day living in Bismarck.” There are five other women living in Bismarck to- day, who came to Bismarck at or before the arrival of Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Dunn. Two of these women were real pioneers, coming to Bis- marck before there was any rail- road. Mrs. John Sebrey and Mrs. J. yc: Pollock came in the summer of 1872. Mrs. C. L. Pearce, Mrs, C. W. Blunt and Mrs. A. C. Hinckley came in the summer of 1873. None of these women came by railroad. Like Mrs. Ward, they came overland in covered wagons from their homes in nnesota. The names of Mrs. Pye, Goff, Call, Raymond and others could be added to the list mentioned by Miss Jones. Mrs. Pye and Mrs. Goff were real church workers, Then there was J. D. Mann, bet- known as “Deacon Mann,” who interested in the upbuilding of j the chureh. Col. C. A. Lounsherry speaking of the organization of the church says: “In June 1873, Rev. D. C. Lyon of St. Paul, and Rev, I. O. Sloan of Minnesota, went to Bis- marck for the purpose of organizing a Presbyterian church. There were but four of us, John W. Fisher, Henry F. Douglass, myself and one other whose name I do not recall. We built the church, receiving aid from all classes. W. H. White of Fargo was present at that church organization. The saloon and gamb- ling houses were all night and every day in the week concerns at Bis- marck then, but by a preconcerted movement every saloon and every place of business’ was closed that day during the church hour.” Rev. Sloan, who was called “Father Sloan” was respected by the saloon and gambling element, and it is com- mon history that this element con- tributed freely to his support and to the maintenance .of his church in those pioneer days. Miss Jones further says, “Right next to Dr. Dunn’s drug store was “Whisky Fisher’s saloon.” This had reference to the late Asa Fisher. This is the first time that I ever heard Mr. Fisher called by that name, and I have, lived in Bismarck |e nearly half a century. Asa Fisher was called. by the sporting THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Otherwise It Will Be a Pleasant Summer dame ochn. me TE, vi GOING To =) / SIN UNTIL NOVEMBER . ' SS Nw! i ki wih!

We are going on another adventure.’ “Where to?” asked Nick excited- ly, hopping out of bed and starting to put on his clothes. ‘ “You'll find out, you'll find out, you'll find out!” sang:Johnny Jump Up, dancing about on the window- sill in the moonlight. Nancy was dressed first, and put on the tiny shoes the fairy handed to her. But Nick was only a second behind her, so eager was he to be off. g And, oh, how tiny they became the instant the magic shoes touched their feet. So little that a lightning bug passing by called out, “Good evening, beetles, how did you get away up here?” One, two, three, four, five!

It's a good time to learn sleeping in the out-of-doors. It’s a good time to learn how to weag light, l6ose and porous, clothes.

Up went the Twins after him. YeAnd’ there by the light of the moon they could see a tiny Japanese maiden no bigger than a humming bird. She had on a little straight dress of bright silk, embroidered in col- ored flowers, and a wide sash that tied in a big bow behind. Her black hair was piled up high on her head and stuck full of little fans and she carried a paper parasol. “Oh, are you a fairy?” Nan ey nodded the tiny maiden, “a Japanese fairy from far Japan. It is-a lovely place on the other side of the world and that is where Johnny Jump Up is going to take you tonight. I brought three tickets for vou.” “All rightee, if you say so,” Johnny Jump Up, turning a sault. “Have you seen the titmouse anywhere? We can’t go unless he takes us.” “Oh, I'm here,” called a sleepy voice. “I've been waiting ever since the sun went down. Every other self-respecting bird was in bed hours BY CONDO cried ago. All I got was forty winks and I never can get rested under fifty.” “You c&n sleep when you get back, lazybones,” chirped Johnny Jump Up merrily. ““Hop on, Nancy! Hop on, Nick!” And giving. a little jump, the fairy man: hopped on, too. Away flew the titmouse and they all waved goodby to the little Japa- nese fairy in the cherry tree.. After crossing a very wide ocean, they came to Japan. The sun was shining because, being on the other side of the world, it was day. “Oh, Japan's all pink!” cried Nancy, looking down from her place on the bird’s back. “It is now, for their cherry blos- soms are out and they are pink in- stead of white, as ours are,” said the fairy. Just then the titmouse yawned. “I think we'd better be going home,” he said. “I want my other ten winks of sleep.” +(To Be Continued) « (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

By Albert Apple” : CUPID’S SENSE OF HUMOR : By Albert Apple . . ‘ : Wedding invitations are being sent out by this year’s crop of June brides. People soon will be saying, “I wonder what she sees in him?” or “What do you suppose made’him fall for her?” Queer teams often stand up before the clergyman, to happily (or unhappily) forever after. live Well-mated couples there are, plenty of them. But now and then cupid seems to have a sense of humor. Nature is a specialist at standarization. Blades of grass are much alike when matured. So are lions, camels, ele- phants, violets, trees. People. seem ‘to vary more than any other form of life. Out of millions upon millions, duplicates are rare. It_is almost phenomenal when a person doesn’t have some di tinctive marking or eccentricity or manner distinguishing him from all others. Nature isn’t very keen on this tendency to vary from type. She is constantly striving to restore the balance — to keep the individuals of the race as much alike as possible. That's why Beauty marries the Beast. It also explai nk marriages of big men and little women, fat women and slen- der men, intellectuals mating with average intelligence. There’s a wise old saying about people having most chances of being happy if they marry opposites. The pop- ular interpretation of this is that blonds should marry brunets. But it applies equally to other personal differences. + Take a husband brainier than his wife. ing her improve her mind. He enjoys help- She “looks up to” hirh with respect.

Each admires what he or she lacks and the other has in character, brains and disposition. In the final analysis, all of this probably is nature’s sys- tem of restoring glandular balance to the race. For instance, a person with a sluggish thyroid gland is apt to be dull and indolent. When this type mates with a husband or wife pos- sessed of an over-active thyroid, children are apt to have normal thyroid. thryoid situation.

She does not know Paula well enough, and that dear Priscilla Bradford, is off the map as as far as the ‘Prescotts are concerned, Don't think me conceited and ego- tistical, but I have been wondering if there isn’t a little personal inter- est in Paula’s-letter. I hear you say “don’t be a damn fool, Jack.” But isn’t it a scream, that a man’s wife should play rival in the affec- tions of his: former sweatheart and beat him out at the’ game. Paula has invested Leslie with a halo since her visit here. Of course you know she came back fully determined to kick up a fuss, but Leslie, bless her heart, disarmed her with kindness. Paula expected that Leslie would be quite as up- stage as the rest of the society wo- men about this town and would treat her with righteous contempt, but when Leslie, although she said noth- ing, made no denials or admissions, made Paula understand that. she knew she was the mother of little Jack, the French girl was flabber- gasted. Of. course Paula had no way of knowing that at that: time Leslie thought you were the father of Jack, and she thought Leslie’s forgiveness was divine. Especially was she grateful for being left alone with the child for a little while. Now whaf am I going to do? It is a strange thing, Syd, that a woman can never drop anything completely. She always wants to keep bringing o> it up and parading it whether it’s a joy or a sorrow, a success or a dis- grace. On the other hand, a man, no matter what his remorse’ or other emotions may be, will content= ‘him- self in saying “That's that’: and burying it decently. Paula ‘ will probably keep cases on me the reat of my natural life. Leslie is going to have sume kind of'a jamboree to celebrate our third anniversary. She writes me that someone has said that if you safely weather that date on the calendar of married tife; you can’ jog along’there- after with more or less surety of being able to stand the bonds of dou- ble harness. Of course you are coming over for the celebration. Don’t forget that you were the best man at the start of this marital marathon, and you ought to be here to cheer u we pass the first lap. 5 sas I didn’t like the tone of !your let- ter whén you spoke of Sally Ather- ton. When ‘you see her you will realize what a pal she can be to a man, although I don't think she would ever be a success as a wife. I told you, however, in my last that I hoped she would bowl you over ard I think that she could if she'd try. I have come to the conclusion that that woman could do most anything. If she doesn’t do it it is because she doesn’t want to. I wonder if I wrote you that mother is here. Under the tutelage of a nurse and cpmpanion I hire for her? She has grown quite hv- man. Being humanized, she cannot help liking Leslie, who, between you and me, Syd, is the nearest an angel of all the women I have ever known. If she were more angelic she couldn’t live with such a sinner as Your friend, JACK.

Coolidge took over a certain piece of property from the bank. But, bewause he was so kind to people, he made a poor land- lord and gid not collect enough ‘rent, So this ‘property became a liability to him. A friend of mine went to Coolidge and asked if he'd sell the property. Coolidge named a price. “Pil take it,” said the man, ‘imake out a deed and I'll pay you’now.” But Coolidge was busy. “Come back in a few days,” he said. >» The next day a wealthy man came to see Coolidge and asked if the property was for sale. Coolidge said it was, and named a price $300 higher than the: previous price. The. man offered to buy it on the spot, but Coolidge told him to come back in & few days. Then he sent for the firgt purchaser. \ He told him what had happened. “John, you are a poor man,” he said. “You can’t .afford to improve this place. Let me sell it.to the other man and give you the $300 dif- ference.” _The man agreed and Coolidge gave him the $300, although’the man had no option and no legal claim. to the money. The man said that he offered to pay Coolidge for: drawing up the deed, but that Coolidge re- fused to accept ‘money for that, so he put $10 in Coolidge’s overcoat pocket, 3 elf someone asks a favor of Cool- idge, he first determines whether or not it should be granted.
