There is no escaping the argu- ment that dollars left at home are the best town builders. Too often the people that rant the loudest about boosting the town send the fartherest for their merchandise. Building a town does not mean useless motion in pro- Moting projects that are functions of the city government or can be handled better through the women’s clubs. It means establishing firm foundations for substantial growth; the attraction of new industries with increased payrolls; new wealth to share the tax burden and probably first of all an intensive drive for new settlers within the borders of the county. Too much money and effort go each year into overhead to maintain organizations for civic betterment. After sal- aries, office rent and general expenses are paid, little is left in the treasury to promote the very things for which such an organization was called into being. Through elimination of the non-essentials and the direct- ing of efforts upon worth while projects, real tangible results will follow. Many cities have found that the formation of a small committee to carry to success two or three definite projects directly contributing to the advancement of a municipality and its trade territory is a most effective agency in promot- ing community welfare. EVIDENCES OF IMMIGRATION Reports from the different newspapers in the state in- dicate settlement on North Dakota farms. Immigration to this section is more active than it has been for many years. Another good crop will stimulate even greater land sales. A bank at Van Hook, N. D., reports the sale of four quarter sections of land during the past week. It also an- nounces an active interest in this state on the part of farm- ers in Iowa, Illinois and other points. Some of the sales are to farmers in other states who contemplate making this state, “The Best of The West,” their home. a North Dakota can well afford to spend money to advertise its advantages in cheap lands, productivity of the soil, vast coal and clay deposits. There is no better and safer place for capital to invest than in the farm lands of North Dakota. More: settlers is the prime necessity and every effort should be put forth to tell the world abdut North Dakota, not in terms of any locality but in the interests of a well rounded development for the entire commonwealth. AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA Australia is getting ready ‘to welcome the American naval fleet, due there in July. The important cities of Mel- bourne and Sidney are said to be taking mbre interest in the visit than they did in either the French fleet or the British squadron that called there recently. There will be a big popular reception. This is natural, and only what Americans have come to expect from their antipodean friends. It was one of the dis- coveries of the World War that the American and Australian troops found more in common, and fraternized more readily. than either did with any of the other nationalities. There is much of the same adventurous and independent spirit in the two countries, a careless comradeship that each recognizes instantly in the other. The Canadians are our very good friends; but friendship with them, somehow, seems a bit more formal. Possibly the very distance and lack of rivalry : between Americans and Australians helps in their relations. It may be that the visit to Australia will be the most im- 4 portant part of this elaborate Pacific cruise. It is possible to imagine a time when America and Australia, at opposite pales: will be the two world-props of Anglo-Saxon civiliza- ion. : WORST GAS YET Now it is the Russian Soviet government which rumor says . has a gas invisible and odorless, penetrating the pores of * the skin, destroying the cells and paralyzing the nervous system and the heart. This pleasant gas can be scattered * by bombs from airplanes; it remains active for a long time , and may he spread by the wind a long distance. No known + gas mask is protection against it. Only a soapy liquid ; sprayed from an airplane above the gassed area has any ' effect on it. This liquid causes the gas to decompose and robs it of its poisonous qualities. . en seemed as if the last word in poison gasses had been perfected long since, but now it appears likely that the cheery ; custom of keeping government scientists at work in this + realm of research will continue in all lands. The announce- ment of the discovery of such a horror in one country in- spires other countries to do just a little better—or worse— and: the idiotic rivalry goes on.

Editorial Review Pitcntc aetna ni hoch akc Comments reproduced in tbit column may or may not Ma ES the opinion of The Tribune. oy are presented here in order that our readers m have both sides of important Issues which are being discussed in the preas of e day, INTELLIGENCE AT 15 (Lowell -Courier-Citizen) Discovery that most Massachu- setts people have the intelligence of age 14-15, announted by a ‘Har- vard psychologist, is not sunrpris- ing or disconcerting if you realize that intelligence doesn’t mean in- formation and habitual conduct but capacity to learn. Most of us, if candid and possessec' of reasonably good memories, recall that our pe! sonal intelligence reached its pres- ent fullness in our 15th year or thereabout. Then we. became ca- pable of doing the things and un- derstanding the things that are now within our grasp. It is doubtess rare that intelli- gence continues to increase in any large way through the teens. You cannot talk in terms of adult con- ceptions to children of 11 or 12 years and be understood by many. if any, of them. Save this taik for of 15 anu! they will get you just as well as a similar group of young men or young women in their 209 or 30s would. All of them, that is to say, except a small minority whose mental growth has been re- tarded and who offer the problems of moroncy. “TO FORGIVE DIVINE” (Pittsburgh Sun) from Paris comes a patietic story concerning Gen. Gouraud, the hero of the Argonne—a story in- volving an issue on which opiniong will be sharply divided, Gouraud attending the funeral of Anatole ‘France. Joseph Caillaux was also there. Caillaux is the former prime minister who was convicted of communicating with the Ger- mans during the war, but has since ‘been granted amnesty, has return- ed to Paris, and is spoken of as likely to play a prominent part in French politics. Gourauc' shook hands wit Caillaux. Clemenceau heard of it, and not jong ago when Gouraud called on the war premier Clemenceau refused to receive him, taking the ground that the “lion of the Argonne” had solied his hand forever. Gouraud wept. The unfortunate attitude of the Tiger brings to mind the attitude of those who at the enc! of our Civil war would have hanged the lead- ers of tae Confederacy as traitors. and of others who oppose to this day anything that savors of doing honor to the “rebels.” It is indeed | strange that the United States government, against which thes2 men took up arms, should now be paying them a tribute of respect. ; But without admitting that their course was right, one can at the same time consistently be frec of And it is best to put away rancors of war as 990n as pos: No good purpore is serve’ eherishing hatred. As Pope says, “to err is human, to forgive di- vine.” 15.—With the New York, coming of warm weather comes the April sightseer. Visitors in winter us- ually pass their holiday in a round of theaters and amusements. As a tule they are persons who have been in New York before. In the spring and summer those who are visiting New York for the first time pre- dominate, For those who are planning a trip to see the city rather than its amuse- ments I am outlining here my favor- ite tour. It has two features to rec- ommend it—its low cost and the vari- ety of sights. It can be covered be- tween noon and dark. Take a train on any of the elevated lines to South Ferry. You are above the street and get a close-up of ten- ement life. (Cost, 5 cents.) At the elevated terminal at South Ferry you can board the upper deck of the Staten Island ferry on the same level as the station platform. You pass the Statue of Liberty, see sailing craft and freighters at anchor and may witness the arrival or de- parture of ocean liners. The round trip takes an hour and costs 5 cents each way. On returning to South Ferry you are one block from the Aquarium, a round brick building on the water's edge. (Admission free.) * | Leaving the Aquarium, walk north- west toward the towering Whitehall Building. You will arrive at Wash- ington street, a quarter of Turks,| Assyrians and’ others of the Near East. Signs in Arabic and strange tobaccos, confections and pastries in windows will catch your eye. After walking several blocks north, turn to the right on Rector street. There is a block of lace and tapestry displays. One short block on Rector street and you are at historic Trinity. If you are interested in historic figures you may stop there and find the graves of Alexander Hamilton and other great Revolutionary .charac- ers. ‘Cross Broadway (going eastward) adn after two blocks you are at Wall! > Woo often A MAN WHO SAYS"!

North on William street or back to Broadway and -north on it, and you are within sight of the Wool- worth Building and the massive Mu- nicipal Building. Brooklyn Bridge lies at the rear of the Municipal building. .Walk a quarter of the way across and you ave an unusual view of the lower sky-line of the city. The Bowery runs north from Brookyln Bridge. Four or five blocks,! and you'll find Chatham Square and Chinatown. You find enough there to interest you the remainder of the day.

What this country needs most is, less things it needs most. , It will be impossible for spring to wear out her welcome. It is true that money talks, but a! man tells us his weekly pay check can barely speak above a whisper. Now comes the season of the year when coal dealers are busy. trying to get their friends back. The weather is discussed more often than any other subject simply because it is the closest. Wouldn't the farmers be a happy bunch if they could find an insect} which eats nothing but weeds? Women are not men's equals. We| know. We tried to slap one on the back and borrow a dollar from her.

LETTER FROM BEATRICE SUM- MERS TO LESLIE PRESCOT'I, CONTINUED I could not help smiling, Leslie, when 1 saw the polite way that ula d about men falling in love with their stenographers. I remember very distinctly a few years ago of a man telling me that no business man of any acumen whatever paid any great social at- tention to his own secretary. “In the first place,” he said, “if a man has a good secretary, he knows that if he pays her social attentions and she accepts them he spoils her entirely as a business employe. He also knows that if she doesn’t ac- cept his attentions it always makes a coolness between them. “Therefore,” he said with a smile, “if a man must flirt with a stenogra- pher or secretary, he should fall for his friend’s secretary instead of his own.” - This blase bit of philosophy has always stayed with mre, Leslie, and to tell you the truth, it has always been a great comfort to me as a wife, particularly when I first came to Hollywood and saw all the pretty girls in Dick's studio fawaing upon him because he was the producing manager. When I told this story to Dick one evening he said, “My dear, it is per- fectly true. A successful man in business hours thinks of nothing ex- cept his business.” “Not even his wife, Dick?” “Not even his wife,” was his un- compromising answer. Of course, I knew that the woman who asked Paula if m:n were apt t+ Jall_in love with ther stenogra- phers did this because sae wanted to know if tae rumor which had been circulated around the moving pic- ture colony, that Paula had been a stenographer in the east and had been paid a nice round sum to come out here when her employer was tired of her was a fact. I was awfully glad to hear her say perfectly innocently, “I've never beef a stenograph: EVERETT TRUE WAITER, X WISH NoU'D[ TAKS THIS BACK AND GET HS Sone THAT/S NOT Feed -: The Tangle squelched that woman who! Then she continued: “Although I do not know anything about. it personally, I don’t think men’ fall in love with the women in their offices very often. Men may have a passing fancy or a curiosity they may see every day, that is of course only sex instinct, but in the press and annoyance of work-a-day life it usually amounts to nothing. “The attraction of a man for any girl on the screen or stage is a subtle flattery to his vanity. To be seen with her, to have it known that she is his girl, makes him proud of his conquest. The people in front of the screen look upon women who act for it as different from other wo- men. {he camera sheds a myste-| rious romance over the actor. Every-| one wants to know if Pola Negri or; Mary Pickford and the rest of us are the same in private life as they are on the screen. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) ADVENTURE OF |, THE TWINS |, BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE FEATHER CAKE It was Jack and Jill's birthday—so Mrs, John baked a fine big double birthday cake and set it out to cool. It was a beautiful birthday cake all covered with white icing with pink scallops around the edge and “Jack” and “Jill” written on top in pink icing letters. Mrs. John was so proud of it that she went out on her back porch every two minutes to look at it and try the icing with the tip of her finger to see if it was hard enough to set away. “Not quite hard enough yet,” she said each time. “Won't the children be surprised when they sit down to dinner to see such a fine cake with their names on and everything. shall put sixteen little pink candles| on top—eight for Jack and eight for BY CONDO I) carefully, putting the _|and fix the house WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1925 HIGHBROWESE AND LOW HAVE OWN LANGUAGE By Chester H. Rowell Modern psycho-analytic jargon has reached the assault and battery stage. A California school board candidate accused his opponent of “inferiority complex” and “incipient -paranoia.” In other words, he was a boob and a nut, Whereupon, bellicose manifestations ensued, with conse- quent traumatic contusions. In other words, they mixed it, and one of them got bumped on the beezer. : Which of these languages is English? Neither the highe browese nor the lowbrowese is standard style. One is above the other below the level. And yet we all tend to use one or the other. In our specialties, we use technical vocabularies; in conversation, we fall into slang. In ancient Latin, similar tendencies finally developed dif- ferent languages. The language of books and of the people became mutally unintelligible, until one of them froze into Monk-Latin, and the other fused into French, Spanish, Ital- ian and their variants. If the same thing does not happen to English, we may owe it to the newspapers and the radio. Newspaper report- ers write’“print English,” but they have to write it so as to be “‘understanded of the people.” : Radio announcers are not yet all literate, and what some of them speak is scarcely English, but as they and their broadcasters become an institution, they will’ have to learn to speak at least as well as reporters write. Thus the gap between print and speech will be bridged. Which is high- browese for being able to say, each to each, “I getcha.” Referring to one of California’s many freak religious sects — this one seared its saints with hot iron — the New York Tribune says: “In America the combination of an unsolidified social order and a raw but literate frontier psy- chology seems to have given bad results.” Vie This is the provincialism of the effete East, which judges the Far West by two-gun movies. 7 Some of it, the West, and espe- cially California, cheerfully concedes. tility of the bloc system. Later de- velopments indicate that the bloc system is curing itself.

A state with these things is certajnly, “literate.” ‘ But the “frontier psychology” we repudiate, If there are any frontier conditions, of society or of mind, left in America, they are located | far east of California, The Pacific coast is “frontier” only in the sense that it is now the front door, instead. of the back door, of America.
