He cared nothing about liquor and did not drink him-| self, or sell drink to others. He liked “the thrill” of being} chased by the prohibition officers and just “stepping on ’er.” In a little town of the middle west, a hoy of 14 is in the hands of the constable because he has been scattering tacks and screws along a much-traveled highway adjacent to town, much to the damage of automobile tires and otherwise com- paratively good dispositions. He had no feeling of ill-will against machine or driver, | just liked to hear the hiss and pop of air-filled tires and the| vocal outbursts of outraged autoists. He liked “the thrill” | of it. A young man in New York has been caught by the police, after a long quest. He had set fire to some 20-odd empty houses. He was possessed by an irresistible desire to hear the clatter of fire apparatus, the shouts and screams of men and women and to see the rush of crowds and the roll of the ominous smoke. He liked “the thrill’ of it. The “thrill” business seems to be on the increase, but, even at that, it stands out distinctively and repulsively be- cause it is exceptional. time, as always is the case, and law and good order will prevail. As a matter of fact, people everywhere, in a vast major- ity, are now going about their usual affairs soberly and se- dately, and their influence for even and level living cannot be neutralized by tangents in crime or otherwise. Common decency never will be and never has been en- tirely out of fashion. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. “EXPERTS” When England controlled food during the war, says{ Beveridge, the economist, she learned it was better not to} tions put “experts” in charge of various jobs. An expert is all right in his place, Beveridge admits, but in a difficult situa-|? tion what’s needed is some one with common sense. An expert knows too much about his subject, often—is handicapped {by precedent. Why is it called “common sense”? It’s not common, by any means. Some one has defined an “expert” as a man who lives 109 miles away and charges $100 a day. : s a woman —a wife and mother — is | prove Reaction from it will come in due|,, Editorial Review Comments reproduced in thie column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day.

One of the most common ma- } chines to be experimented with is in the shane of a wheel with three | or more spokes. On each spoke is a sliding weight, and the idea is that the weights will, on the whole, so comport themselves that the moment about the center of those on the descending side ex- ceeds the moment of those on the ascending side. Endless devices, such as curved spokes, levers with elbow-joints, eccentrics and so on, have been proposed for effecting this impossipility. The student of dynamics at once convinces him- self that no mai ery can effect any such results; because if we give the wheel a complete turn, so that each weight returns to its original position, the whole work done by the weight, will, at ther most, equal that done on it. rhere was a time when w men believed that a spirit, whi 0 se could by magic art be summoned from the deep to do his master's work; and it was just as reason- able to suppose that a structure of wood, brass and iron could be found to work under like condi- Ss ever been known to act, in the fancy of its inventor. || ADVENTURE OF | THE TWINS | ! BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON © AGO How the ancient Eyptians managed to move the huge stones they used in their pyramids and other monuments that have endured through the ages, has long puzzled scien- tists as much as tourists. Old records, discovered, reveal that man-power was the way. rather than gigantic wooden machinery since crumb- led to dust. Six thousand slaves, tugging at strong ropes, moved a stone 137 feet long, tapered to a base 14 feet across, weighing 1168 tons. Machinery has replaced us from that kind of slavery— and given us another kind. We’ve just changed taskmasters. ARTISTS Photographer is taking the place of the artist in adver- tising. Half the advertising pictures in magazines already are made by camera. This pleases photographers at their nat‘enal convention in Milwaukee. ; The outcome? There'll be fewer artists. The gifted painters will continue producing, but the wane of commer- cial art will not send them back to the garret. The rich will patronize them, as always happens when civilizations grow older. SUPERSTITION Rich gold mines are discovered in the interior of mys-_ tevious Thibet. White discoverers, young engineers eager fo- wealth, are dismayed to learn that Thibetan superstition prohibits removal of gold from the earth in any form except dust. Nuggets must not be touched. This is foolish. Its incongruity amuses Americans—who, however, have just as ridiculous economic and political sup- erstitions, not to mention others. Precedent is largely superstition. WOOLWORTH The Woolworth 5-and-10-cent stores expect to sell 220 million dollars worth of goods this year, according to their vice president. That means, over two billion dimes tink- ling into the cash registers. Woolworth little dreamed of such possibilities when he started his first “notion store” on a_small scale. In the 5-and-10-cent store, merchandising has reached its highest development. Gradually the system will expand to irclude all-forms of retail business. Observe the many chai stores already. Fa DECAY A ‘With commercial art apparently doomed by the increas- ing/use of photographs for advertising and fiction illustra- tions, a lot of half-way painters and sketchers will have to get into other lines of work. The best will, spurred by n ity, work harder and become Real Artists.. Keen com- pefition in a limited market may develop genuine art in ica. Bewail that day. Civilizations do not. produce art in their virile youth. When art comes, civilization wering to decay. : ‘Ashland, Neb., a poor old man of 79 elopted with a n lawyer, but maybe he doen't Ike to talk mper After Mrs. Bunny and her daugh- maintenance would cost nothing, !

I thought of course the moment your father was out of danger you would hurry back to your husband and son. Surely you know that when a wo- man. marries her place is with her husband. especially when her child is also there. I cannot hold with these new-fash- ioned ideas which allow a mother to Jeave and go gallivanting all over the country. Of course I know when you are with your father you have no responsibilities watever; but you certainly have already had a good rest, and I think you should be here. John is evidently very much over- worked. He looks worried, He has not been home to dinner for at least a week. He tells me he works every evening, and it would be foolish for him to come home just to eat. He told me this over the phone from his office where I called him up yes- terday. I had not seen him for over a week, and he han no time to talk to me from his office. + Sarah, too, seems very peculiar about little Jack. She will not let him come to my apartment unless she comes with him, I insist that he shall come here at least once a day, but Sarah is very arbitrary. She hangs around all the time. She will not even let him have a cooky when he comes to Grahndma’s. I told her when Jack's father was_ little there was a cooky jar just behind the door, and all the children in the neighberhood were privileged to go to it whenever they felt like eating. We made cookies every day in the week, By the way, your cook has left. Dear Priscilla Bradford is making my coffee for me in the morning, and we are going out to our lunches and dinners. Just because dear | her sunny self at all. Priscilla offered to make some Boston baked beans and brown bread, which I have not had since I came to be with you, your cook got very angry. She said she was not going to have anyone poking around her kitchen. Priscilla said she thought it was a good thing the cook left, as she nev- er had seen such disorder and extra- vagance in her life. Why, she said you had three differeat packages of sugar in your store closet. She spoke of this to the cook, and she was very impudent to dear Priscilla —told her that she had no business to come poking around your place. She hurt Priscilla’s feelings to such an extent that the brown bread was not a success. We could not eat it, andthe beans were burned. Pris- cilla saig it was all on account of the cook making her so unhappy that she could not think of anything ex- cept the servant's impudence. When all this happened I called up John at his office, and he told me he would not return to the apart- ment until Priscilla had left. Of course this. put me in a terrible posi- tion, as I could not pointedly ask her to go, and she had said nothing about it, Miss Anderson, too, has been act- ing very strangely lateiy. She is not In fact, she told me yesterday that she was worn out, and would probably have to take a vacation as :00n as you return. You can see you are needed here much more than in your father’s house, where you have probably every luxniry. Your loving mother, MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

(SJ f ~"RIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1924 | SHADOWS OF THE PAST .~ | ~ By Albert Apple Radical changes in airplane designs are expected to Norwegian. ‘}result from the experiments of Professor Bjerknes, the Before the meeting of the British Association for Advancement of Science, he demonstrates his new style ‘of airplane. - , It has whirling cylinders instead of wings. These cylinders, shaped like tin cans, revolve swiftly. |The technical explanation of how they work is complicated. Man gets his new ideas by studying and adapting things that already exist in nature. When man wanted to fly, he naturally started out with the idea that his airplane must \have wings like a bird or insect. The plane you see soar- ing overhead looks as if it were a huge dragon fly or hawk. Similarly, the first railroad passenger cars looked like stagecoaches. The first autos looked like horse-drawn bug- gies. The first typewriter keyboard was a copy of a piano’s, even to black and white keys in a row. It’s hard to shake off the precedent of the past. Old ideas cling and modify new ideas. as a life preserver. It is as if man, venturing into ‘the new, fears totally to discard the old; he clings to the old But as the new ideas develop, especially new inventions. the old is gradually shaken off. The time may be ripe for the airplane to cease looking like a bird or insect. Who knows? —the final perfection of the airplane may look like a spider, a rat or a rubber ball. New York, Sept. 5.—Demonstrat- ing an automobile to a prospective | purchaser in New York is far sim- pler than in the majority of smaller cities. Automobile row is strung out on upper Broadway, just above and be- low Columbus Circle. The _ sales- rooms are not as pretentious as | they were in former days, but sales tactics are more efficient. People shop for an automobile, much as they would a suit of clothes, a dress or a new hat. From each showroom they receive a demonstration, made over the same route, a handy one for the demon- strators. They drive the prospect over the rough spots of Eleverith avenue, then up a steep incline, through Broadway traffic and then around the beautiful drives of Central Park and back to the salesroom. In the ride, which requires less than half an hour, they demonstrate every normal—and many abnormal conditions met by motorists. To do the same thing in other cities, the demonstrator must drive many miles to the outskirts of the city to find adaptable conditions. The demonstration track in New York is in the heart of the city. I went on an automobile shopping tour with a young man the other afternoon. He purchased an auto- mobile he never before had heard of, because he liked the style of body, the way it performed in a demonstration, and because he found that the brother-in-law of a friend of his owned one and was satisfied with it. 2 eee Samuel P.

FABLES ON HEALTH AVOIDING COLDS “Obey the ordinary fules of hy- giene if you would avoid a cold,” re- commended the Jones family doctor. “Except where nasal defects exist there should ‘be no trouble with re- curring colds if a pérson ‘is’ living hygienically.” Here are a few points that might be written down and remembered in this connection: Most people realize that exposure and chilling are likely to “produce colds. This is due to a disturbance of circulation brought about through the nerve centers controlling skin circulation which are over-sensitive and feel an immediate reaction. MANDAN NEWS DEFENSE TEST URGED Major J. M. Hanley in an address to Rotarians’ outlined the’ meaning of National Defense Day, urging Ro- tarians to take an active part in the observance of the day set apart, Sept. 12th, PUT UNDER BOND John Weeks carnival man who at- tempted to operate a gambling game at the fair in the face of warnings that any such attempt would result in arrest and prosecution, was ar- raigned before Justice G. L. Olson on charges’ of keeping a gambling place. He ‘pleaded fot guilty and was placed under $500 bond for ap- pearance in justice court. Weeks was arrested by Sheriff Charles McDonald when he is alleged to have deliber- ately ignored a personal order from State’s Attorney L. H. Connolly to close his game. CORN EXPERT HERE Dr. Frederick Ritchey of the fed- eral department of agriculture is in the ¢ity taking in the Missouri Slope Fair and also visiting the Northern, Great Plains station. Dr. Ritchey is the corn expert of the de- partment at Washington and his visit here is with the idea of making a survey of the corn crop in North kota and also a study of the varieties grown. START PAVING WORK The grading crew- of the Northern Construction company” has begun Now if the skin is put in good shape there is a: good chance of overcoming this. Bathing in cool water, with its accompanying -reac- tion, will help build up “skin restst- ance, Getting gradually accustomed to gentle drafts also will help. Another stunt is to stand in a foot of hot water and rub the body brisk- ly with a good rough washcloth that has been wrung out in water of a temperature of 80 degrees. Each day reduce the temperature of the water until it reaches 50 de- grees. After the rubdown dash cool water on the body. tearing up the main road between Mandan and the bridge and a big force of men is on the job with about ten trucks in use. Inter-city traffic is now being di- verted to the old road through the woods and over a new grade at the approach to the bridge. As a result of the change, which will be for sev- eral weeks, drivers are urged to, be especially careful. MRS. VON SCHALLERN DIES Miss Lillian Von Schallern, aged about 50, died shortly before, noon yesterday at a local hospital of dia- betes following an illness of about a month. i Deceased, who had been a resident of Mandan for about 30 years, suf- fered an infected thumb as the re- sult of running a sliver or thorn into it while picking berries about a month ago. The infection necessitat- ed an operation on the thumb. She was suffering from diabetes in an ad- vanced stage and as is almost invar- iably the case, a diabetes patient has small chance of withstanding such an infection or an operation. She declined rapidly until death came shortly before noon.
