High Jand values and congestion of population have taken from youth its rightful heritage, a place to play. Even alleys, eelight of boyhood, are becoming a vanishing institution. How can we expect youngsters to seek innocent enjoyment when they haven’t any place for it? “He stays 1954 Uncle Sam says 1954 will be a big year in two ways. He hopes to announce then the final paying off of the war debt. The treasury’s plans are based that way. The date will be later if prices drop materially and the people’s incomes are eorrrenondingly cut, thereby reducing money available for taxation. ” In 1954, also, Uncle Sam expects to have the country bone-dry. That was the date set by experts when national ‘nrohibition went into effect. They didn’t kid themselves Be pyrcould be brought about overnight. One generation, at least. PEP To prove a man‘56 is still young, Arthur Thomas Wilson took a 7500-mile hike with a 50-pound pack on his. back. He started from Detroit with only 78 cents. Human nature is pretty decent, he decides, for motorists gave him lifts at lenst half the way. This cuts his actual hike to about 3700 miles, but that’s a big achievement for a man of 56. Many a man under 30 couldn’t do it. Physical condition in later years depends a lot ‘on the’ eare we give our bodily machinery in youth—also on hered- ity.

Dr. Abel of Jena University says German brewers used 41 times as much foodstuffs for beer as the foreign Quakers contributed in the same time for relief of underfed German children. Liquor is a tremendous consumer of foodstuffs. Prohi- bition in our country, for instance, has created a huge sur- wits of grains that used to be converted into beer and whis- ‘y.

Da-| vis was an inglorious and insigni- | ficant contest between the Smith} and the McAdoo factions. It was rot the product of a mature and deliberate preference on the part of a majority of the Democratic | delegates. It was not intended | and ‘will not tend to heal the| wounds which in the heat of bat- tle the two factions had dealt one another, It will not serve to pull the party together as an instru- ment of economic legislation andj; to give the disaffected agricultural states any sufficient assurance that their grievances will be fully ) considered. It wag tantamount to an evasion of almost every issue and respon- sibility which circumstance and its own makeup had imposed on the party. In effect it unloaded these responsibilities on a good and intelligent man whose atti- tude in respect to them had been | inoffensive and noncommittal. The default was the more con- spicuous and unnecessary because the Democratic convention found submitted to it for consideration a candidate whose nomination would have ibeen as brave and sig- nificant an act as that of Davis was evasive and meaningless. Senator Thomas J. Walsh posses- ed all the qualifications which John Davig lacked. By nominating him the Demo- crats would have vindicated them- selves as a party which could turn ar. exceptionally ‘bitter conflict to good account by attaining through it a really integrating decision.—- The New Republic. “LIP-LAZY” AMERICAN It is curious that the American man, with his perceptions always alive to assets, has not sensed the value of a trainéd speaking voice. There are few posessions more of an asset than the ability to speak distinctly and to know where to put the emphasis, whether a man salesman or an executive, anxio! make his points effective in speaking to a business conference, before a board of directors, a committee, or a public audience. It is one of the most valuable “selling” qualities a man can possess, whether he is sell- ing a bill of merchandise or making a point in argument. Nothing is of equal value to the: lawyer impressing a jury or bench, it is the chief asset of the preacher, is invaluable to the statesman, it is the instrument of success with the public speaker. Yet apparently we pay not the slightest attention to the almost complete absence of a study of the r our slurring speech and our cave- era of international relations faces ciency, “How well he speaks!” should not be the occasional surprised comment; it should be, as it can be, the na- tionally accepted hall-mark of the American—Edward Bok in the Cen- tury, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Little Cartoon Fulla Kicks — Hue) | ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Weeny, the elephant, and Nancy and Nick left Mrs. Lion’s house in such a hurry that they almost for- got their satchel. Weeny just had time to grab it with his trunk before Mister Lion came roaring after them. But no wonder Mister Lion was cross! Weeny had eaten up every bit of his dinner, soup, biscuits, marmalade and all! “Where’s my dinner? I want my dinner,” roared poor Mister. Lion. “You said you were having croco- dile wings and guinea. pig _ tails,” laughed the elephant. “So.I guess you have as many now as you had before. Goodby.” And away he trottted down the road with Nancy and Nick on his back, giggling so hard that hid sides shook up and down and it was all the children could do to stick on. By and by he stopped, “Ho, hum,” he said, putting his satchel down and wiping his tiny eyes with his trunk. “I am having the best time on my vacation. But I do wish I could find a peanut tree.” “I told you that peanuts grow on trees,” said Nick, “Did you?” said Weeny. “So you did. I remember. You said they grew in paper bags.” “No, I didn't,” said don’t Nick. “L WATCH OUT FOR AUTOMOBILES Another aged man has been in- jured by an automobile. This makes the second aged man to have been sent to the hospital in two days. The automobile that hit him had just had an argument with a street car. The street car got the best of the encounter, but the old man lost in the final round. It is dangerous to be on the streets these days. Automobile drivers—many of them—are usually in a hurry. People who walk must not get in their path. Death lurks there. It’s insanity at the steering wheel. People are buying automobiles when they should be building a savings account. They are too foolish to work and save. So it is hard to expect them to be anything else but insane when they get tanked up with a few gallons of gasoline. Pedestrians can only stand by and let the fools drive on. Keep out of their way. Sooner or later they will commit suicide against a telephone pole.—Evansville Journal. FULL TICKET NOT NEEDED Mark Sullivan says that one weak- ness of Mr, LaFollette’s candidacy is that he is not buttressed with full congressional, state and local tic- kets. Mr. Sullivan continues: “It is the candidates for minor offices who get the voters out to the polls on election day.* * * It is these who call on the voters on election morning and provide the automo- biles.” Nevertheless in the 1912 campaign when Theodore Roosevelt was .the Progressive candidate for president, he proved much stronger than his party associates in Rhode Island. His vote in this state was 16,878, while that for the Progressive can- didate for governor was only 8,457. It is an open question how much ket here would do Mr. LaFollette— Providence Journal. PARLOR FOR MAIDS Omaha, Neb. Aug. 6.—A special “maid’s parlor” has solved the ser- vant problem for Dr. Jennie Callfas, who is prominent in national poli- Dr. Callfas’ home in Omaha contains a small parlor that is her maid’s own when her young man comes calling. Dr. Callfas has lost several maids in this way'by mar- riage, but has kept many others for years at a time, * said—” But Weeny interrupted him. “I do declare. I didn’t know we had come so far. Do I or do I not see Mister Giraffe’s head over those tree tops. Get me my specks, Nancy.” So Nancy slid down and opened his satchel and gave him his specks and he hooked them behind his ears. “Yes, sir. That's him,” said Weeny. “That's he,” corrected Nick, “It’s him,” \said Weeny crossly. “I guess I know my geography, so I do. I know it’s him because he looks as though his ears had been stuck on with elothes-pins, such funny horns be has. Hello there, Mister Giraffe!” g Mister Giraffe looked their way and made some funny motions with his head. “What's he doing?” asked Nick. “Wig-waggjng,’ said! Weeny. “Giraffe’s can’t say a word—no voices at all! So they've learned to wig-wag.” “What’s he saying?” asked Nancy. “He said to please come and help him,” said Weeny. So over they went. “My wife went to a party and left the washing out to dry,” wig- wagged Mister Giraffe. “She al- ways uses my neck on Mondays for the clothes-line, But I got a crick in it and straightened up, and the clothes all fell off. She'll be as cross as a plus-mark when she comes back. I was wondering what to do.” “We'll help you,”-said Nancy. So she. and Nick and Weeny picked up the clothes and hung them on Mister Giraffe’s neck again, while he obligingly stretched it out. “Goodby,” said Weeny. “We're going ‘on our vacation.” Mister Giraffe did answer. He didn't dare to wig-wag or the clothes would have slid off again.

LM WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1924 GO BACK HOME WHEN YOU ue By Albert Apple Ya It is the unwritten law of évery Hindu that he shall re- | | visit the place of his birth at least once every 12 years, Dahn Gopal Mukerji writes in the Atlantic Monthly. | He advances the novel theory that a wave of homesick. ‘ness comes to people in cycles or periods 12 years apart. How does this match your own experience? ' A trip to the Old Home Town after an absence of 12 years is nearly always disappointing, even dismal. The thrill of anticipation increases as your train or touring aute nears the destination where your childhood was staged. You find many new buildings, though a lot of the old \land-marks remain. . i The big change is in the people. Friends of long ago have-scattered to the far points of the compass. Many have pasged on into eternity. Of those who have remained in the Old’ Home Town only a few are “the same as ever.” Others have changed so much that you hardly recognize them. It is interesting to observe how Bill has improved and Walter deteriorated. The brightest boy in school, like as | not, will be found holding down an unimportant job at low \pay. The supposed dunce may startle you by his great suc- cess. . | The net result is a conclusion that very few people turn | out as others expect they will. Time is the acid test. It de- stroys the weak. It unearths and elevates the strong. On your visit ‘to the Old Home Town you meet a child- hood chum. After a little coaching, he remembers your identity. You talk over the old days and exchange ideas and philosophies of life. : Gradually, as you study the crony of long ago, you sense that you are talking to a 95 per cent different person than the one you formerly knew. * Time has changed his body, hig thinking, his character. And you, to him, have undergone as great a change. Personality, is not a fixed and permanent thing. It changes so much as time passes that it’s doubtful if we'd recognize present associates at all if we met them 500 years from now in some other world. Or even 50 years from now, on earth. and more girders’ fell at his side. New York, Aug. 6.—Tons of steel girders fell when a derrick lifting them to the top of a 15-story build- ing broke. -Arthur Brown, was buried beneath the. debris. Hun- dreds crowded to the scene. Brown walking beneath, walked calmly from beneath the wreckage, which had fallen in such a manner as to make a protection wall for him. Only his clothes were dusty, A newspaper photographer, near at hand, induced Brown to pose in the spot on which the heavy girders had fallen. Just as Brown started to the spot, the remaining half of the derrick Brown finally posed for the pic- tures—a block: away... \ Segue ia) 6 While the boys of New York play marbles the girls play. jacks.

She looks haggard and worn, I think she is frighten- ed to death. She probably sent that letter on impulse. I can see, too, that Karl is not very happy. What do you think I'd. better do, dear? I’m almost sure that if I tell this thing about Alice, Karl will never marry her, and on the other hand, I am almost sure that. if Karl marries her, he will be perfectly un- happy. While Alice. is my sister, she has done me a great wrong, and Karl has ever been kind and sweet to me. & By the way, there's another com- plication in this tragedy of errors Alice (you see, I keep saying Alice, although the letter-was anonymous, for I know no one except Karl who could have -written that letter, but Alice) did mot put “personal” on the outside ‘of the envelope, and Sally Atherton opened it, hand-grasping tomfpelery of the professional introducer, so prevalent today. . For the honor of the Chinese code demands that if No. 1 introduces No. 2 to No. 3 and if No. 2 subse- quently incurs a bad debt with No. 8, then, No. 1 is honor-bound to make good the loss No, 3 has sus- tained.

There's a couple whose married life I shall follow with great interest. Beatrice, of course you know, is a young woman of great common sense, but Dick Summers is even more erratic than Jack.

When Jack handed the “Yiletter to me, I found ‘a notation on the bottom of it from Sally, It read: “This letter’ was ‘not marked ‘per- sonal,’ consequently I opened it. Now that I havé ‘done’ so, I cannot }- help saying.that no one should pay any attention to anonymous letters. I think this note especially dam- nable.” rs She not only did this, but she called me up and told me she had opened the letter, and exactly wi was in it, so that I was warned be- fore, Jack got home, Surely, you mon sense if she remains normal and happy.
