"THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ARMY OF DEALERS Ford now has nearly 10,000 “authorized sales and service dcalers” in the United States. In addition, more than 28,000 service stations. Common impre: due mainly to b eeee 7.20 am 5.00 6.00 ssion is that Ford’s gigantic success is manufacturing genius. Quite as import- inv and efficient is his sales organization. He leads all man- wcturcrs in following his goods to market and seeing that , sell instead of accumulating in stock. Manufacturers’ goal used to be merely to sell to the cealer, Now they recognize the dealer only as a link in a chain, with the consuming public the real customer. DOCTORS’ FEES Are doctor’s fees to become standardized trict of Columbia the medical society wor! In the Dis- out a scale of ioaximium and minimum fees for nearly every ailment under |; ihe sun. Cutting out an appendix may cost $100 to $5000, x wide range. Basing medical charges on ability to pay, rather than on services rendered, sometimes comes in for criticism and debate. Applied to services and commodities in general, it vou'd keep wealth more freely distributed. A loaf of bread rth 16 cents to a ditch-digger is worth hundreds of dol- x to ihe rich, theoretical! RADE BOOMIN' Unnoticed in the political campaigns, American foreign trade bos been booming, In September, exports were 428 million dollars worth of goads, compared with 381 millions in September of 1923. Imports gained almost as much, but what we sold ex- eceded what we bought trom abroad by nearly 140 million colars in the one month. That puts us to the good 1680 million dollars a year—it we ever are able to collect all of it. No telling how much of the total is on charge accounts in- stead ci sure pay. ECOND-HAND Avto dealers’ association reports that the number of used ears sold so fur this year is almost exactly the same as the number of new cars placed on the market. Three hundred thousand second-hand machines a month are sold, the coun- try ove The average used cer now sells for $297.80. 100 new-car sales, x used car is traded in, The junkman doesn’t get all our discarded cars. A lot are shipped abroad, where novelty still eclipses ancient vintage. In 70 out of BREAKFAST Quit eating breakfast if you want to have fine health, ys Dr. Vola M. Kimmel, food specialist. Theoretically she may be right, but practically she’s wrong. Breakfast furnishes to the empty stomach the fuel we need for gener- ating energy to carry on the day’s work. Lunch is the meal that shguld be light, or even aboljshed. Nature intended us to loaf or sleep at least 20 minutes after every meal. Immediate return to work after eating sends to other parts of the body the blood needed by the -h in its first digestive assaults against food. DELICACY The diamond -back terrapin, small turtle that lives in marshes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, is in danger of extermination. This warning from the bureau of fisheries vill be a blow to gourmets with educated appetites, for the d. b, terrapin is one of the greatest delicacies. They are diminishing because they are being eaten faster than nature furnishes them. This strikes us as zero in short- ages. A famine in bacon and eggs would be a real calamity. FORTY-TWO WIVE Forty-two women, all claiming to be wives of the same man, cause excitement in a Vienna court. Testimony indi- cates that he married for money, averaged $80 from each bride, then skipped. As nearly as we recall, he holds the world’s record for this generation. e A good many Americans, some months hence when they are making out income tax returns, will be wondering if this Austrian’s real motive wasn’t the lure of being able to claim 42 exemptions. WINTER Winter building is urged by Herbert Hoover to stabilize employment and prices in the building trades and construc- tion industries. It’s certainly desirable, but it will be next to impossible to accomplish, even with money inducements. Man is animated by savage impulses, and one of the strong- “est of thesg is to build his nest in spring and summer, ahead of the cold months. 3 The most complex economic problems are, after all, sim- ple natural processes. BUSINESS It develops that the business depression has not been as bag as it seemed at the time. It was common talk, some “months back, that the auto industry was supposedly “all - shot to pieces.” But in the first nine months this year fac- tories turned out 734 autos for every 911 in the correspond- ing months of last year and 662 the year before. In mak- ing comparisons, keep in mind that 1923 output was abnor- mally and unhealthily big. This is the season when a cold bath can be improved by the addition of a little hot water. Leading a double life gets you through just twice as quick. BISMARCK TRIBUNE Entered at the Postoffice, Bismarck, N.

Charlie Mathieu, dapper, nervoud newspicture editor, has lived in New’ York most of his life. He knows New York like your nose knows a rose, but he seldom visits Greenwich Vil- lage. Last week several ladies from Cin- cinnati were guests at his home. They wanted to see New York's Bo- hemia, so Charlie volunteered to act as escort. i Arriving at Washington Square he asked a policeman where to go, what place would be a good one in which to show the out-of-towners a bit of life . “You'd better go home,” the cop” answered. “They rob you in these places. You get a big check and you see nothing but four-flushers.” Still determined to explore the lairs of long-haired men and short- haired women, Mathieu approached five other cops. And they all told him the thing. same A friend of Pete Havenaugh, the actor, told me a little story © about him today. | Some time back Pete had quite a roll in his pocket.
