A Los Angeles young woman passed hundreds of dollars worth of bogus checks in San Francisco “because she hated the town.” A Minneapolis young couple, 19 and 17 years, abandoned their 10-day-old babe to unknown hands because “it was the baby or the automobile—we couldn’t take care of both.” An overgrown Maryland boy killed a man so that he could get possession of three cents the latter had. Mary MacGuire, once rich but now old and infirm, dies alone and penniless in a Kansas City basement after 29 years of fighting loyalty to four sons, all of whom were criminals and desperadoes. An old, bent man goes, each day, to the office of Indiana Supreme Court clerk to porg for hours over the transcript of an alimony case that was decided against him many years ago. A Minnesota couple buys an old, gruesome and discarded auto-hearse and will change the curtains and windows, put in a regular bed and employ it as their home during a 3500- mile auto trip. A West Virginia Republican, piqued because a neighbor named his new-born babe after Davis, responded by naming his twins “Hell” and “Maria.” a Hundreds of visitors daily visit the grave of young Calvin : Publishers DETROIT Kresge Bldg. nen Editorial Review Comments reproduced in_ this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented bere in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are }} being discussed in the day, the press of ITALY’S BETTER ESTATE (Minneapolis Journal) Italy is said to be more prosper- ! ous today than ever before in mod- ern history. Back four or five cen- turies, Italy was very prosperous in communities and for periods, and that in a time when the rest of Europe was enjoying that “civiliza- | tion on a dung hill,” as one torian characterizes the middle ages. But Italian prosperity today ex- ceeds any prosperity enjoyed be- tween the “Risorgimento” and that n 1915 upon which Italy entered | the World War. Italy has herself to thank for the present state of things. And she has attained it despite a national debt so great that it looks impossi- ble even to liquidate, and after an industrial and social disorganization that did seem fatal. She owes her comparatively happy estate to herself, we say. She owes it to leadership, yes; but she chose the leadership and she sticks to her loyalty. True, not every nation gets a proper leader when it needs him. But true also, not every people pre- fer the right leader. “As Greece did not Venizelos. Mussolini inspired, directed and rode the Fascist revolution. That performance was a feat helped, no doubt, by good luck. But since he assumed power, he has evinced mar- velously correct administration, both positively and negatively. But the Italians respond to his direction. They have gone to. work, industri- ously, faithfully, intelligently. Mus- solini may be the lever, bat the Ital- ian people supply the fulerum. Mussolini in Italy does what he does by a dictatorship consented to by the people. That recourse ar- gues real political incompetence in the people. Such incompetence the American people have not exhibited, or anyhow do not acknowledge inl themselves, We as a people cannot avoid the test of our political competence, however. Lax administration grows less and less tolerable. And we shall require our Mussolini, unless we can evince renewed power to rule ourselves. Good dictatorship supplies admir- Coolidge and they have literally hacked a nearby stone fence to pieces and carried the broken rocks away as souvenirs. “Comanche,” General Custer’s famous war horse and one of the two living things to escape the Little Big Horn massacre, now stands, stuffed, in the museum of the Uni- versity of Kansas, and “Comanche” has had seven tails since his death because souvenir hunters have robbed him, a hair at a time, all thinking they were securing hairs from the original tail. The most interesting study of mankind is man. View your newspaper of the day from that angle and you will, as is here set down, find things to strain your logic, your phil- osophy and your wonder. TROUBLE There are no new problems—just the same old problems masquerading in new form: 4 Fascinated by the belief in our generation’s importance, we imagine that our problem of traffic congestion is some- thing new, the creation of our marvelous mechanical pro- gress. But ancient Rome had traffic problems equally acute, says Dr. T. Ashby, one of the cheif diggers excavating Romau ruins. Chariot speed maniacs kept officials busy. Probably the future will be worried by traffic congestion in the air, planes swarming by millions. SKYWARD The round-the-world flight by American airmen has held:attention so closely that few of us “caught” what may be a more important achievement later—the try-out of the first flying freight car at Mitchell Field, Long Island. This plane can transport three tons of freight. Planes will carry passengers, express and freight, in tre- mendous volume. It may seem incredible now—but not any more than was the case when the first steam railroad was being developed. Or maybe you recall the laughs that greet- ed the first “horseless carriages.” # EATS More agitation about eating foods containing vitamines, mysterious substances that keep us healthy. The savage is healthy, but doesn’t worry about vitamines. Sir David C. Bruce, eminent scientist, tells why. The savage lives on the natural foods of the earth. It is only when man “begins by artificial means to polish his rice, whiten his flour and tin his beef and vegetables that the trouble begins.” We’re still in fresh vegetable season. Get your vitamines natyrally, especially by eating plenty of leaf vegetables, such as lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard and other greens. DISEASED Disease costs America 3000 million dollars a year and other civilized countries according, claims Sir David C. Bruee. He’s figuring only the loss through people being “laid up” from work by illness. About seven years at this rate would balance the national debt. Unfortunately, there seems no big-scale relief. As fast’as we conquer one disease, nature sends new ones. Nerve maladies are replacing conquered fevers. ~ GAIN y Out of miles of statistics and endless argument about our foreign trade comes this fact which sums the situation in a nutshell: Reducing our foreign trade to 1913 prices (so we won’t be fooled into mistaking higher prices for an increase in the physical volume of trade), American exports are about 20 per cent more than they were before the war, and imports have increased 45 per cent ns DEATHS Auto deaths increase—8100 in the first six weeks this year It’s fine to have safety days. But safety first must une a HABIT, vigilance constant. P anger is present every day. Caution should be, also. { Drive slowly. And ‘remember particularly that August is able government, as long as it stays good. The fatality inherent in dic- tatorship is its refusal to stay good. How long will Mussolini last as the good dictator, the admirable admin- istrator, who works disinterestedly 16 hours a day? A leaf out of Napoleon's life sup- plies the answer. The Bonaparte who was First Consul, the Napoleon who was first emperor, was one of the ablest administrators in all his- tory. The government he gave France was the best in every sense THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Weeny and the Twins bade Gipsy the Mule good-bye and started on more adventures. “Did you know any more people in the circus?” asked Nancy as Weeny trotted along with the Twins on his back. Suddenly Weeny began to laugh. “Didn't I, though. I was just think- ing of Buddy Ostrich. Buddy was a dreadful goose and everybody was always poking fun at him. But he had a kind heart so he had a lot of friends. Did you ever notice that people with really kind, hearts al- ways have friends? But they have to be really ones. Really . kind of efficiency. But as he grew old- er, he grew more self-indulgent, he began leaving decisions to his secre- taries. And his administration de- teriorated. As will Mussolin’s if he continues dictator for long. It is to be said for him that ap- parently he recognizes as much. He will strive to restore Italy to self- government gradually. For there is no real substitute for self-govern- ment. If a people fail in it, they are ultimately doomed to bad gov- ernment, to oppression. The height of a small boy's ambi- tion is usually about six feet. A man with a grouchy look seldom gets a pleasant one. Most of us can be glad we don't get everything coming to us. Biting off more than you canj chew is much better than going hungry. When a cynic sees a man helping a lady across the street, he wonders where her husband is. Mosquitoes haven't been happy} since the pajamas replaced the nightgowns. It is hard to get men to church because they don’t care what the other men are wearing. It is even hard to decide what you wish you could do in August. The man ‘with a line of talk is usually fishing for something. The way you turn out often de- pends upon the time you turn in. A dime’s worth of ice isn’t always what it is cracked up to be. The objection to vacation love af- fairs is some play for keeps instead of just for fun. Lots of people would be poor if they didn’t owe so much. People who live faster than others don’t go as far. . Statistics show doctors collect only one-fourth of their fees, so you can show this to your doctor, , A sire thing is when daughter decides she is going anyhow, _ The’ street car system could be iniproved by, granting stopovers. A loafer is always glad when Mon- day comes, because he hasn’t seen the greatest month for railroad grade-crossing accidents. Rumor says a movie star will marry a friend’s husband. Don’t get mad. She may be doing the friend a favor. Most of us have an idea that heaven is a place wheré there is enough good luck to go around. 18 2G LEE NPR ICSPE SOS every show in town, A political méchine is stldom & ldbor-saving machine. ~ Wouldn't. the ~ place iF the te ae Pe egpartul. zine covers opened a beauty shop?

To his house to visit him.” “Sure, we can,” nodded Weeny. “That's where I'm going now. Only Buddy doesn’t have a house, really. His, home is where he hangs his hat®he says, and I guess it’s true. But I know just about where he lives and we'll be sure to find him.” Weeny crossed about forty coun- tries and an ocean and came finally to the hot country where the os- triches lived. Next he hunted a sandy plain, and then he stopped and looked in every direction. “I don’t see him,” he said. “I don’t even see any place he could hang his hat. There isn’t a weed growing anywhere,” said Nick. “That wouldn’t bother him,” said Weeny. “He doesn't wear any hat.” “You know why,” said a voice, and they all turned around in surprise. There. stood. Buddy Ostrich. He was such a fast runner that he had caught up to them in two minutes after he first spied them over a little, sand hill. “Hello, there!” cried Weeny, turn- ing around and wrapping his trunk around Buddy’s long neck and hug- ging him. “Say,” said Buddy. “I wish you wouldn’t do that, Weeny. It makes me nervous. Your trunk reminds me of a lasso quite enough, without having it wrapped around my neck. That's the way the hunters catch us. By chasing us on horses and lassoing us like cowsboys lasso cows on the prairies.” “Why don’t you wear a hat, Bud- dy?” asked Nancy, who hadn’t for- he said. said Buddy. “When T was in the circus I found out what people do with the feathers they pull out of our tails. They dye them all sorts of colors and put them on hats and make fans out of them and trim dresses and everything. I used to hide my head in the hand when I saw a hunter coming, but I soon found that it didn’t do atly good It left too much of me sticking out.” “You can be glad you aren't a tur- key,” said Weeny. “It may be bad to be an ostrich, but it’s worse to be a turkey.” z : “Why?” asked Buddy Ostrich. “Because a turkey loses its head instead of its tail,” ‘said . Weeny. “You can grow more tail feathers, but it’s pretty hard work to grow a new head.” “Why, I never thought of that!” exied Buddy. “You always were a cheerful person, Weeny, and I’m glad you came.” (Vo Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

Some- thing must break pretty soon in this damned mix-up. If it doesn’t I shall go crazy. You know mother has made w with that devastating old maid, Priscilla Bradford, and Priscilla is staying at the apartment with her. I think she has nosed around enough so that she knows something is. wrong between Leslie and me, but she has been smart enough this time not to speak to me about it. Mother is getting back into her old captious, critical mood, and even Miss Anderson looks worn out with her. Miss Anderson asked me the other night when I thought Miss Bradford was going away, and I bluntly made the same inquiry of mothér, “Why, I don’t know, John,” moth- er answered. “She was invited for the wedding anniversary, you know.” “Well, the wedding ‘anniversary didn’t come off, mother dear, conse- quently it seems to me if she had any sense she wouldn't stick around. “Miss Anderson is about fed up with her, I think,” I was foolish enough to hazard. “Has Miss Anderson been plaining to you, John?” mother. “Not at all, not at all, but I get very tired of trying to be polite to that old maid. You know. I never liked her, and I’ve only endured her in, my house because for some un- accountable reason you seem to like to haye her around.” Mother looked heartbroken, and went, off ‘to her own apartment. 1 haven't seen her for the last day or EVERETT TRUE com- bristled GOING TO.

Do you know, Syd, he’s beginning. to put words together. He has been back- ward in talking. I am now teaching him to say “Jackie loyes mother.” I think that will please Leslie, don’t you? My business is going along fine— never had so much of it in my life before, and I attribute it all. to Mrs. Atherton. I've been a little out. of patience with her, since Leslie went away, however, for she has hardly looked at me, and if she were a mind to, she could brighten my loneline: a lot. I like to talk to her, she ways has something original to Now, Syd, I hope you won't be stubborn as Leslie has been. as Do you think I could go over to the Hamil- ton’s without shattering my dignity at all?

There, old man, you have my whole story since you left, and I have only one piece of news to send you. Ruth Ellington has married Walter Burke. I hope she will be happier than she was with Harry. I never cared much for her, but Leslie loved her. She certainly has step- ped into a mint of money; the Burke fortune has trebled in the last three years. For heaven’s sake, write to me immediately.

At the same time that work com- mences on the big ship at Carding- ton, another of similaresize will be begun at Howden. Both of those immense airships will be approx imately 7§0 feet long, 110 feet in diameter, and capable of carrying 220 passengers at 80 miles an hour on a non-stop flight of 3,000 miles. It is stated that such a vessel cruising at 40 miles an hour will be able to remain in the air for near- ly thtee weeks without alighting to replenish fuel.
