A lawyer deals chiefly with precedent. An engineer deals with cause and effect, a business man with result: Logically a business man or engineer would make the best president. But the voters have a fear, usually with good reason, that the successful business man or engi- neer elected to office would be too “close” to his former associates. The same objection holds true with most law- yers. The lawyers got a near-monopoly on the White House job in the days when politics was chiefly oratory, and law- yers are the natural orators. Maybe what we really need is a psychiatrist for pres- ident. Publishers BRAINS Dr. Goldenweiser speaking: “If you take the brains otf 1000 ordinary undistinguished individuals and then 1000 scientists, artists and men of eminence, you will find no dis- tinguishable difference between the two series in size and weight.” But you would find a difference in the shape of the brain, the same as a high forehead and eyes far apart are sure signs of intelligence. However, the intellect is not in the brain—which is, to thought, just what the telephone is to the conversation that passes through it. Lincoln’s brain has gone to dust, but his thoughts live on. - KING Do you want to be a king? A job’s open for you. Ex- plorers return with news that a ruler is wanted by the king- dom of Cabinda at the mouth of the Congo river in Africa. They have a genial custom over there of killing the king the first night after initiating him into office. So, no king for many years. Nothing is quite as effective as death. Nature is shrewd in limiting the years we spend on earth. Death is her way of restoring balance. It checks the clever brain prying too intimately into nature’s secrets. Above all, it makes room for another train‘load of excursionists—the next generation. HANDS Women’s hands are getting larger, a glove maker claims. He says the average glove is a size larger than it used to be, also cut wider. Behold, here, the workings of the law of evolution. Human body changes through the centuries. Your ancestors had lower foreheads. Scientists say that the groove extending to your nose from the middle of your upper lip is an hereditary scar from prehistoric forerunners, who had split upper lips like a rodent. Few modern men can squeeze into the armor worn by the average warrior five centuries ago. FUTILE The Lakuta tribe, living along the upper Nile in Africa, want rain. So they appeal to their chief, the magician put into public office chiefly on account of his supposed rain- making powers. He orders rain. If it doesn’t come, his savage followers shoot arrows at the sky in reproof. This story, brought by explorers, amuses Americans who figuratively shoot arrows at the natural laws of economics, when the laws fail to function pleasingly. Our public will never be satisfied until the law of supply and demands is repealed. OIL In 13 years the supply of oil stored underground by_na- ture will be exhausted, a prominent geologist warns. This has been a stock prediction for half a century, and it usually precedes discovery of another big new oil field. : Of course, it’s just a matter of time until the oil will be gone. For lubrication man will use such things as lard. For explosive power in engine he’ll turn to alcohol—now widely used instead of “gas” by Cuban motorists. Gallon of alcohol, exploded bit by bit, will in effect hurl an auto some 15 miles. Does even more in the stomach. JOLTED A writer or poet might produce better work after getting a wallop on the jaw, claims a scientist. “Energy aroused by anger may flow into intellectual responses—result in exces- sive physical or mental activity.” A hard jolt of any kind is a great stimulant. Men go to seed on the job when the path is too easy for too long. Getting fired is often the best jolt. It rouses a man from lethargy, usually he gets a better job—is fired up instead of down. SMOKING Tohacco factories in our country now have an output worth over 1000 million dollars a year—at wholesale prices. About four-fifths of this is used by Americans, rest ex- orted. i You’ve noticed lately not much news about prohibition- of-tobacco. campaign, Backfire of liquor prohibition has halted agitation against Lady Nicotine—temporarily. Just a lulli—reformers must have jobs. FAULTY : How are your eyes? Out of every 100 industria] em- ployes, 44 have defective vision, a survey shows. “That’s a pretty good showing, after all—probably bet- ter than that is the case with stomach, brain, liver, lungs and other important organs of the body. Nature would give us hetter physical machinery if he wanted us to be here longer instead of just on an observation trip. a Lea Se and gets soaked Editorial Review reproduced in this |/ \ / 1 i \ | | Comments column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They ure presented here in order that our readers may have both asides of important issues which are being discussed in the day. ee | AN HISTORIC PA (Seattle Daily Times) the press of Nothing ‘better could illustrate the British habit of understate- | ment and undervaluation of per-! sonal achievement than the mod- | est log of the world flight written | by Maj. MacLaren, commander of | the Hnglish plane. Obstacles over- | come, perils encountered and hard- | ships are not recounted in that re- markable document. It is merely a plain, matter-of-fact record of events from day to day. The log of the British expedition, ag printed in the London Times, | shows that Maj. MacLaren sighted the American fliers as they passed over the Burmese coast. It was an, historic passing, but if the British | commander felt any emotion it was | not chronicled in the log. Unfortu- | nutely, the Americans could not | know that he had been forced down in the mouth of a sm@l creek. Doubtless they would hgve been glad to have exchanged} a little signal talk, but the visibility was low and a monsoon was blowing. The nearest the British com- mander came to a display of emo- tion was when he recorded the safe passage over the Yoma moun- tains. After flying in a torrential rain he was forced to turn back to the coast. He made another at- tempt and, as he says, “commen- ced crossing the Yoma_ moun- tains.” He then continued as fol- lows: “Just scraped through 1 tween clouds and hills 5:30, safely over, thank goodness. However admirable the habit of understatement may be, there are times when a little judicious ad- vertising may assist general un- derstanding and bring about pro- per appreciation. (Providence Journal) The statement made in Paris the other day by Gen. Berenguer, for- mer Spanish high commissioner in Morrotco, that “the ~ Moroccan business can be liquidated in a; few years to the best interests of Spain, if we continue the meth- ods which have been and still are being employed by Marshal Lyaut- ey,” would sound better if Spain had more to show for the years, she has already spent in pacifying | the country. The world has been waiting pa- tiently for the Spanish govern- ment to exhibit some progress in settling the issue in her portion of Morocco. If continuance of the methods that are being used is going to produce the results “in a few years” that they have already pro- duced, Spain would better surren- der her part of Morocco to France, who has already demonstrated that she can govern the Moroccans in satisfactory fashion. Gen. Berenguer cannot conceal the fact from those who have studied the situation that final success in Spanish Morocco does not depend nearly as much upon military pro- gress as it does upon the applica- tion of a sensible and decent pro- gram of colonial government. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON One day when Weeny, the circus elephant, was trotting along with the Twins on his back, somebody called out, “Hello, Weeny, where are you going?” “Hello, Toby,” cried Weeny. “Hel- lo, Prince. Where did you two come from?” It was Toby, the circus dog, riding on Prince, the black pony, just as he used to do when they were all in the circus. “We're spending our vacation,” said Toby. “And -we came from home.” “Ha, ha, ha! Isn't that funny,” laughed Weeny. “We're spending cur vacation, too, but it’s all we are spending, for we are stony broke, if you know what that means.” “What?” asked Toby. “It means that we are busted,” said Weeny. “What's busted?” said Toby. never knew any French.” “Well, busted means that we haven’t any money,” explained Weeny. “We've been gone more than a month and we haven’t got a cent left.” “Neither have we,” laughed Toby. “Prince and I are as poor as ever we can be. And we have a long way to go before we reach home again.” Suddenly Nick had an idea. “Can you do any tricks, Toby?” he asked. “I should say so,” answered Toby, proudly. “That’s my last name. You ought to see how many tricks I can do” “I can, too!” said Prince. “I can walk around in a circle without mov- ing my front feet, and bow, and waltz and stand on my hind legs, and jump over things and—” “Why can’t we have a circus of our own and make some money?” asked Nick. “Then we can have enough money to spend on the rest of our vacation.” “That's a very good idea!” Toby. “A very good idea, indeed!” said Prince, “I’m proud of you, Nick,” Weeny. “A circus it shall Where shall we have it?” Such a lot of planning and fixing as there was then! They ended by deciding to have the circus right in the woods. Nick made a sign which said, “Greatest Circus on Earth. Come Qne—Come All! Admission Five Cents.” ‘Then he hung it up on a big tree. After that he practiced turning somersaults and cartwheels and al said said be! standing on his head.

Weeny knew loads of tricks, too, and it promised to be as good-a cireus as Nick’s signs said it was. Pretty soon everything was ready. (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) The most popular summer resort is, “It’s too hot to work today.” We would hate to be a bow-legged summer girl and always wonder if Wwe were standing in the light. Some people are so absent-minded they forget themselves, It took six days to make the world and still some want to change it in one. A man who doesn’t know where he is going seldom gets anywhere. Nothing hurts your luck like hav- ing it in for somebody. The first three months of summer are the hottest. Our idea of hard luck is a fat man at a dance on a hot night. Never count your chickens before they return from an auto ride. A pretty girl never likes to take her own word for it. Looking for trouble to lose your head. is a fine way on first. People who sleep porches should get up sleeping We would hate to be a rich man’s son and have to stay in trouble nearly all the time, Money makes the mare go. It also seems to make the hair go. The man who doesn’t have to work might as well collect his life insur- ance, One great objection to living in the country is you have to go to town for your vacation, an unlucky fisherman who doesn’t even catch one to lie about.

So do human fish. but he usually does nothing. _ FURNISHES TWO UNITS Mandan, in case of warfare, would be called upon to furnish two units, ;@ motor reserve, and battery of the 168th Field Artillery. This fact was brought out by the recent orders re- ceived here from Adjutant-Gen A. G. Fraser with regard to Mobili zation Day.

CLOUD Grant Ukenholz, well known farm- er living southwest of Mandan, left yesterday for St. Cloud, Minn., where he will be married, Thursday, to Miss Isabel Binney. Miss Binney has taught school in Morton county for the past two years. WAR ON WRINKLES Wrinkles creep into the face of all oft us—and Mrs. Jones of Any- town was no exception. She found what is known as the “Berlin method” helpful in remov- ing them. This method starts with steaming | the face. Narrow strips of court- plaster are applied to the wrinkled | sections, but first these sections must be smoothed carefully with the fingers. To get results this treat- | ment must be persisted in for some | time and applications should be made twice a week. When furrows appear on the fore- head, a compress may be made from linen soaked in the white of an egg and mixed with alcohol. Place it on the forehead upon go- ing to bed and leave it through the applied night, unless it begins to smart. Then it is best to remove it or the skin will be reddened. For general skin stimulation, bathe the face in cold water, then rub briskly with a towel or with the hands and rub in some good cold cream, Electric apparatus secured which, when plied, helps in many ca may now be properly ap- 8. Chinese People ’ Urged To Thrift And Sobriety Tsingtao, China, Aug. 27.—Govtr- nor Gao En-hung has caused it to be announced that he views with dis- favor the custom of giving elaborate and expensive banquets, including such delicacies as sharks’ fins and birds’ nest soup. He regards any dinner costing more than $5 a plate ag needlessly extravagant.

He pointed out the bad ef- fects of such indulgences, and declar- ed he intended to make his men temperate and free from these com- mon vices of the Chinese.

What she ought to do is to forget the incident and fall in love with some other man, if a man is necessary to her peace of mind. However, you might invest the money in good bonds, and if Paula should ever be in need—you can’t ever tell what will happen to these moving picture actresses—you could give it back to her. Otherwise it would be a nice nest egg to start the boy’s education and set him up in business. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) New York, Aug. 27.—Down in Bat- tery Park, near the Barge Office, is a monument. to wireless operators. who have perished at.sea—the men who share the most sacred tradition of the sea, that of being the last to leave the ship, or to go down with it. The list begins with Jack Phillips, the operator who went down with the Titanic, the “unsinkable ship” that struck an iceberg in the Atlantic on her maiden voyage’ and ‘sank in a few hours. _ The ship struck the berg on the night of April 14, 1912, Phillips stuck to his post and attracted the attention of the Carpathia before the waves closed above the Titanic in one of the greatest. sea tragedies ever recorded in history. Wireless operators, who lost their lives on the Atlantic, Pacific, on the ‘Swedish coast, the Black \Sea, the Caribbean, Puget Sound, and the Great Lakes are included in the list. The last name on the list is that of Fred Salim, wireless operator on the steamship. Conejas, who was lost with his ship in the Black Sea on Dee. 27, 1923. In front of the monument is a water fowntain, an ironical remind- er of the water that plunged them into heroship. Byt. it also is a ser- vice to humanity, an aid-giving mon- ument dedicated..to these men .who died calling for, aid for .others, Thre, s of the mogament: are already’ f I eae ri “On the fourth side is room for 2 few more inscriptions. There will be more names inscribed some day. For men who go down to the sea in ships are the bravest of the brave. This is the end of a story that would not be popular in fiction, The body of.a derelict about 50 years of age was found hanging to an auto- mobile truck. He had strangled himself to death. Beside him was a note, written in a fine, Spencerian hand, “Have faith in life. Be not afraid of darkness, but lift your eyes to the eternal stars.” The beginning of the story would be interesting, for the man undoubt- edly was well educated and refined. The most uncanny and grotesque thing I have seen in New York in many a day was an airplane flying low over Broadway at night, with its wings illuminated with scores of el- ectric bulbs. The drone of the motor caused thousands to peer: into the ‘black sky and be astonished by the artificial comet. —Stephen Hannagan. —_——__--—__—__—_-» | A Thought | saa EEERTEREEE EEE: 2 Seest thou a man diligent in his business?- he shall stand before kings—<Pray, 22429) 9:91” oy) 2) The master looks sharpest to his own’ business—Phaedrus, 4
