There is no danger of a return of the Kaiser or that a Hohenzollern “will ascend the German throne. The greatesc setback from the election is the impression gained abroad that the German people long for a return of , the Junker rule and that the people are not ready to submit * to a new order of things, but even time may show that this fear too is unfounded.

It is a worthy project and means much to the community. The band has ‘smade good progress in the two years of its existence and from now on the improvement should be more rapid. There “are uniforms to buy, more and better instruments are need- ed if the band continues as a civic institution. * Have your dollar ready tomorrow evening when thc teams call upon you. AMERICAN One thing the hurrying, bustling money-making Amer- ican seems unable to learn is how to conserve his power with proper rest. Dr. William S. Sadler, nationally known physician, de- clares that “Americanitis” is causing 240 thousand prevent- able deaths each year in the United States. “Americanitis” is Dr. Sadler's name for the whole group =of conditions he believes responsible for “needless” loss of life. “The incessant drive of the American temperament is = Tesponsible for this characteristic American mortality in- *crease during the ‘dangerous age’ period, between 40 and 50 . years,” the doctor reports. Most Americans would profit by a change in their living habits—any kind of change that would rest their bodies and calm their nerves. THE PRESIDENTS HANDSHAKE . It is just barely possible that President Coolidge really likes to shake hands with the hordes of citizens who are =daily coming to enjoy the privilege. At least, that is what he tells the secret service men and secretaries who are urg- Sing him to end the custom. But whether or not he likes it, it is more than possible that it is not good for him. People * before the days of Cal have been known to continue doing things they liked to do which were not good for them. In a single day not long ago, nearly 2,000 people shook the hand of the President. It is said that promoters of travel and sight-seeing tours are advertising their transpor- station facilities with the war-cry “Go to Washington and ~ shake hands with the President.” : It would be difficult to prevent the publication of such an advertising line as long as the President aids and abets «by doing the hand-shaking as advertised. But it is dangerous business for a President, burdened almost beyond measure without the hand-shaking, to add this .wearing job to those more important. Killing presidents “with overwork has become almost a habit with the American =people. It is not a good habit. Any move in the direction -of protecting Presidents, made by themselves or others, is =a good move. FROZEN SPELLING Simplified spelling is looking up, the Simplified Spelling «Board reports. Inquiries and requests for literature on this “subject are increasing, here and in other English-speaking jcountries. Many newspapers have accepted the modernized _ Spelling of such words as though, although, through, thor- sough, catalog, demagog, pedagog, etc., which merely drop an unpronounced “ugh” or “ue.” * Nevertheless progress is slow, even with the modest de- »mands, that the simplified spellers have felt safe in making so sfar. Changing our spelling, even in the interest of brevity, ease and efficiency, proves to be one of the hardest recon- “struction tasks of the times. 4 It is harder, really, than it has ever been before. Eng- ~ lish spelling in the past was far more varied and flexible, and thas been subjected to several sweeping revisions in the last “thousand years or so, always for the purpose of bringing the 48pelling once more into harmony with changing pronuncia- ® tion and making it more uniform. And worlds never. tottered when letters were altered or dropped. ~ The trouble now comes from too much literacy. With more reading, writing and printing, letters tend more to be- ‘come fixed. People see words spelled (or spelt) so many jthousand times in a certain way that that way comes to ‘séem eternally right. So they cannot tolerate a change in words whose spelling, as every foreigner and every native ‘child perceives, is absurd. bd , The action of the City Commission in establishing a smotor cycle patrolman upon the Bismarck - Mandan pike should improve traffic: conditions on that highway. With =Morton and Burleigh counties cooperating in the policing of =the road, the pleasure of motoring will be enhanced. Henry Ford’s “Maiden Dearborn” plane would be more appealing without the pun. Even the best pun—which this 238 not—grows wearisome in time. 4% . Terrible news from Italy. Ten feet of snow in places. # We hope it doesn’t kill the spaghetti bushes. Editorial Review ae Comments reproduced in this 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. MARRIED TEACHERS (Ann Arbor Times News) — | Married women will continue to | be employed as teachers in the Bay City public schools, the board of education having rejectea a resolution to hire only single ones. | The decision appeals to us as wise. Education is not a philan- thropic institution, intended to pro- vide young women with positions. It is too big, too important, too ne- cessary to be fettereid with silly arbitrary rules. It is not a me- vnanical device, which can be set | in operation by moving a lever. ; There must be system, but in the long run personality and personal ability are the important factors to be considered. Teaching is a profession. It ir likewise something of an art, and} it most certainly can be considered a career. And in this cy and age a woman is entitled to a career, even though she has yielded to the human impulse to ta a self a husband. Capable teachers) are needed, and if capable ones! happen to be married, can that) circumstance be considered a sound reason for rejecting their ap- plications? \ There is nothing disrespectful or dishonorable about spinsterhoow, but if any profession is to place a premium on it, let something ‘be- sides education lead the way. ‘SAYS Goshen (Ind.) man, who wondered if robbers would get his $12,300 if he slept in his auto, found they would. Rich Boston man got jailed in Spartanburg, S. C., proving home is usually the safest place. There are only 325 theaters in New York City, so what can New Yorkers do the rest of the year? Paris has a billion candle-power light to guide aviators. Wonder if they have tried the smell of frying chicken? Coolidge, president, admits he once told a joke about a hen, but none of us are perfect. Musicians will hold a convention in Chicago June 8, but Chicago bar- bers are not interested. Waco (Tex.) grocer was robbed of $260 by a man with a gun instead of by a man with credit. Europe is considering paying some | war debts, but not seriously. It's spring and the little germs are sitting around waiting for house! flies to take them out riding. There are people who work them- selves to death seeking amusement. No doubt a cynic is all right in his place, but he never goes there until he dies. Take your time in and it will last longer. making love This is the season of the year when a man decides his house needs more paint and his daughter less. Worry about your vacation one hour every night and you can de- cide where to spend it by July. The annual scare about women discarding dresses for knickers is not as great as usual this spring. It is estimated that very few peo- ple saved their income tax as they went along. Trouble with the horn of plenty is you are likely to come out at the little end of the horn. We wonder if there are people on the stars who wonder if there are people on the earth, Oh, what is so June as a day in May! i (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) PEOPLE'S FORUM | —__-—_______* COW TESTING Editor of Tribune: The Burleigh County testing as- sociation consists of fourteen en- thusiastic and hard working mem- bers, two of which are new recruits. I say enthusiastic because had they not been, they would have dropped all interest and faith in their work, during the two months when they had no tester. But fortunately the members of this association saw the value of testing their respective herds and continued to do at least part of the work required. But the members are all back on the job; again with more enthusiasm than ever and on my first trip around the the circuit 1 found that they were all interested in better feeling and better management of the herd. I also found that the members of the association are a hospitable and so- ciable group of people and with a little work and cooperation we are bound to prosper as do all other or- ganizations of excellent purposes. The business men of Bismarck again doing their part if secu funds for the expense of the associ- ation which I am sure every member appreciates. But our asso- ciation should not need the help we are getting, every good dairy farmer should enlist with us and with a little cooperation we would soon be New York, April 30.—To anyone who had wide fields and streams and woods for a playground as # child the most touching sight in this great mill of humanity is the street urchin at play. Even a street roped off as a play- ground for a few hours each day is a great boon to the little tots of the tenement. On such preserves they can play hand ball with a soft rubber! ball. Some New York boys grow to manhood without ever knowing what it feels like to catch a scorcher on the bare palm, i The condition under which chil-} dren play here is a tragedy frought with many individual tragedies. The other day Rosa Aviles, 5, who lives in a Second avenue tenement, was given a penny to buy candy.; With Juanita, her rag doll, she start- ed across the street. The roar of an elevated train above startled her and the doll slipped to the street. A wagon was spceding toward thei, The horse's hoofs were about to descend upon the doll when the eter- nal maternalism of little Rosa was aroused. .She leaped beneath the horse to save her doll and was killed. And now the doll is clasped in the arms of Rosa in a grave in potter's field. One of the most profitable theatri- cal enterprises in town is the rev! val of Congreve's “Love for Love.”; It is turning in a profit of $3000 a week to its backers, And it was} written 230 years ago! Several of the bigger producers are set against their perférmers doing their over the radio on the theory that radio “appearances” keep people from the theatre. Recently a cabaret! orchestra played to capacity crowds at the Hippodrome and the engage-, ment was prolonged. This orchestra} had no reputation except that which it made by broadcasting its cabaret programs over the radio. If you want to break into the “charmed circles” of New York, go thou and write a smart and popular novel! Today the most feted man in town is Michael Arlen, author of “The Green Hat.” He cannot pos- sibly accept all of the invitations ex- tended to him.

At the pub- lishers’ convention just held here editor from Wyoming was telling an eastern writer what he thought of the territory east of the Hudson. “That's all right,” retorted the east- erner, “you come from way out west where men are men and women are governors.” There was general laughter. Yet the eastern fellow wasn’t a bit original. His sally is an old quip in a Broadway musical show. . —JAMES W. DEAN.

JACK. Ruth Burke to Leslie Preecott Letter From Your letter was not unexpected, dear Leslie, although many of the things in it surprised me, particu- larly that beautiful poem by Karl Whitney. In the first place I must tell you that Walter had some important business that came up unexpectedly in New York. His attorney tele- phoned-him and ag we had been sep- arated so much lately, I decided to We only had 30 min- utes to make the train. I intended to call you up this morning, but re- ceived your letter before we were through breakfast and so concluded that I would write to you instead. I wonder if you realize how much more intimate you and I are with each other on paper than we are when we speak face. to face. Some way when I read your letters I see an entirely? different Leslie before me. You pour out yourself on pa- per so completely, There are none of the inhibitions which you seem to have when we are talkin As you say, Leslie, it took me a long time to make up my mind to marry Walter. In the first place, I had a queer left-over prejudice about a divorced woman marrying again. I got the wrong idea, you know. I thought marriage should be easy and divorce hard and now I know that it should be marriage that should be hard and divorce easy. I know now that the prejudice against divorce is a silly convention or unwritten law invented by man who thinks thus to surround mar- riage with more importance. Marriage is sacredly important, dear, but not in the way most peo- ple look at it. We are just begin- ning to find out, we are just begin- ning to realize that it is worse to live with a man one abhors than it is to leave him and live with the man one wants, I recognized this dimly all that last year when I was married to Harry Ellington,: but I said to myself that a divorced wo- man was a disgraced woman. I did not realize that any. other partner- ship was not irrevocable, that in any other partnership one was not ex- pected to keep on with it, if one saw that one had made a great mistake. Divorce in the minds of some peo- ple is an almost unpardonable sin und no one so separated should be given another chance. And so I lived on and on with Harry allow- ing him to torture me every day with his neglect and his attentions to other women. I would not even acknowledge to myself that I was more or less in love with Walter. Are you shocked at that? (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) AFRICA BALES ITS LOCUSTS AND SHIPS THEM TO HOLLAND Alexandria, Egypt, April 30.—Lo- custs, the plague of South Africa, may yet be found to have a com- mercial value.

Science Has Become Arbiter of Miracles Scientists are investigating, a dis- patch from Rome says, the case of a young woman who cries out that her hands and feet are being pierced with the nails of the Crucifixion, and is said actually to ooze blood from the spots. There is nothing new in the phe- nomenon. “Stigmata” of this sort have been recorded at intervals for centuries, The new thing is that, instead of ecclesiastics debating whether the tortured victim is a saint or a witch, “scientists are investigating” to find out what happened and how. Sci- ence has become, not merely the worker of its own miracles, but the arbiter of all others. Fortune in Marks Is Worthless erman marks are officially reg- istered as “worthless” by the in- ternal revenue bureau. They are not quite that, or were not prior to the redemption date in Germany. But this is how far they differed from it. Suppose you were one of the lucky ones who bought marks “cheap” at a cent a mark, and one of the pros- perous ones, who invested $4009 in them, thus having 400,000 marks, and standing to make 2400 per cent on them. And suppose: there were a hundred thousand of you with a total invest- ment of four hundred million dol- lars, with your marks still stored in the safety deposit vaults, The total value of your whole four hundre@ million dollars’ invest- ment would be exactly one cent. Blisters on the theels and toes are caused by the foot rubbing against the shoe. Often they are very painful and may develop into a painful sore. "Blood poisoning from a blister is possible, and often is a probable re- ‘sult when the blister is not properly cared for. An excellent method for removing !a blister, especially when it is on ithe sole of the foot where the skin is thick, is to take a fine white thread and grease it well with bori- cated or pure vaseline. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON SNUFF IN A BARBER SHOP After acting in-a perfectly dis- |gfaceful manner in the photograph man’s shop, Snitcher Snatch, the goblin, jumped out of the window, taking the magic snuff with him. Nancy and Nick and Mister Whizz followed him, you may be sure. “We could have caught him with- out much trouble,” said Nick. “I know,” said Mister Whizz, “but I thought that cross old photograph- er needed a lesson. The lady couldn't help sneezing, and he had no right to scold her. I think that Snitcher Snatch also thought he needed a les- son, That's why he put some snuff up hig nose and made him sneeze. too!” ’ “Oh, dear!” said Nancy, “The Fairy Queen will think we're dread- fully slow about getting her uncle's snuff box back.” “Never mind,” remarked Mister Whizz. “We'll get it yet. There goes the goblin now. He just turned a corner. Come! Jump into my megic aeroplane and we'll chase him.” They all piled into the little ma- chine, and Mister Whizz turned a few knobs, and the aeroplane went “buzz-z!” Then it rolled along on its’ little wheels for a few feet and lifted itself off.the ground. { Once again they were after the bad little fellow who made more mischief, than all. the other goblins and gnomes and elves put together. “What do I see?” cried Mister Whizz suddenly, shading his eyes and looking far ahead, “Is it a stick of candy?” , H Nancy and Nick looked over the edge of the aeroplane. “No, it’s a barber-polg,” shouted Nick. “That plate must be a barber shop.” “Well then,” said Mi shutting off his engi to glide down to the earth, “it’s high time we were catching our young friend. I just now saw him go in—. and a barber shop is no plac ir tricky young fellow with a snuff box, believe me.” As soon as the little aeroplane touched the ground, all three of the sengers jumped out and ran with all their might. ~ Pretty soon they came: to the bar- ber shop, and went, in.

On this repudiation of these debts rests Germany's only possibility, un- der the Dawes plan or any other, of paying foreign reparations. One of the many plans under consideration in France, to restore governmental solvency there, too, is a more direct method of aecomplishing. the same purpose. The scheme is frankly to repu- diate the internal war debt, by ex- changing the interest-bearing bonds for long-time securities bearing no interest. Of course, if France has to confess that it can not pay its war debts to its own citizens, we may wait in vain for some French government which will dare propose —to tax them to pay the war debts’ owed abroad. But at least, France would be on an equality with Germany, in start- ing the era of peace with a clean slate. The world may have to learn that not only can no one win a modern war, but no one can pay for it. Why Use Word “Illegitimate” New York has passed a bill elimi- nating the words “illegitimate chil- dren” from the statute books, and substituting “children born out of wedlock.” Why eliminate the word “illegiti- mate.” The right word to leave out is “children.” There is no such thing as an illegitimate child. But there gre such things as il- legitimate parents, and the word is none too harsh to apply to them.
