It is for $146,000,000, represent- ing the purchase price of the Dodge Brothers motor concern. = It was carried by airplane from New York to Detroit to avoid loss of interest which amounted to $8,117.60 a day at 2 per scent, That substantiates the theory that “it takes money to make money.” & Yet there is another way to make money. When John . and Horace Dodge were mere youths in Niles, Mich., they 2 tinkered with every broken clock and recalcitrant gas engine «in town. They became so proficient that it was said that = “those Dodge boys can fix anything that needs fixing.” P The Dodge brothers attained success by applying them- ~ selves to the thing they liked to do best. Parents should bear that in mind in their endeavors to shape the careers of their children. + USUAL OPTIMISM : F. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the ,, United States Steel corporation has a sunny and sensible * optimism. Steel is the traditional barometer of business. . When that industry lags, it is a sign that business is slowing * up generally. Upon a recent visit to the various plants of the corpora- tion, he predicted better and growing business as the year proceeds. Business in his opinion is as good as it can be with a world more or less unsettled economically. Stabiliza- + tion of conditions in Europe will bring business on this side of the Atlantic to new levels. z a North Dakota has every reason to be optimistic even if * its optimism is of the conservative type. Farm lands in this " séction are far below their real value. Inflation in both farm and city property is absent and the most solid foundation for .a.gradual improvement has been laid. Credit has not been , overstrained in this section. Probably no crop in years has been put in the ground under such favorable conditions as Editorial Review au 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. A LITTLE SALT SUGGESTED (The New Republic) From Bulgaria, now in the throes of an attempted revolution, we are receiving cfficial propa- ganda _ dispatches and__ nothing else. These declare that Commun- ists, inspired by Moscow, are re- sponsible for the whole series of events which began with the ef- |fort to kill King Boris, went on to the murder of 160 persons in a cathedral, and now seems to have become a general agrarian rising. These charges that the rebellion is Communist and Russian in character should be taken with at least two grains of salt. While they may be true, it is just as likely that the revolt is solely that of agrarian followers of former cruelly murdered when his govern- ment was overthrown. he same dispatches which ibe the revolt to Russian Com- munism also talk darkly of the complicity of the Jugoslav govern- ment, which is quite as conserva- tive as' Bulgaria’s. The latter, it is interesting to note, ‘has asked the Allies for 200 airplanes ith which to bomb the headquarters of the Communists”—about the most wildly absurd request which has ever come out of the perennially fantastic Balkins. An increase in the size of the army from 23,000 t» 50,000 men is also absurd—pre- sumably for the same reason. While Moscow is perfectly ca- pable of trying to muddy the Bal- kan waters in order to fish there, and partic@larly in order to separ- ate Bessarabia from Roumania, 4 war among the Balkan states themselves, or attempts at revolu- tion in any one of them, which have nothing to do with Commun- ism, are just as likely; and arc certain to be ascribed in_ their initial stages to the Red influence which, as an Irishman might cay, is Europe’s black beast. ROAD BUILDERS (Akron Beacon Journal) Rome was a good fifty years building the Appian way, a big engineering effoit in its time. But it, would not be regarded as a thing so very wonderful in our own day. America’s bureau of public roads has just announced that more than 24,000 miles of high- way, nearly enough to circle the earth. are scheduled for construc- tion during 1925 by state highway departments. Maintenance of 217,794 miles of road hitherto im- proved also is planned. Approxi- mately $405,800,000 is reported available for new state construc- tion, and $135,000,000 for main- tenance,,while counties throughout the country will spend approxi- mately . $46,000.000 more. Since 1921 between 30,000 and 40,000 miles of surfaced roads have been constructed every year. If the Romans had been faced, with such an undertaking, and had needed to provide funds to build and main- tain the roads, their emperors could have had something to brag a along the line of world’s won- ers. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS the 1925 crop. Another yield like that of last fall should *putsvalues where they belong and create more activity in land. sales than has been the case in the last five or six “years. :: . There are signs on every side to substantiate the optim- ism of Mr. Gary. Too often present business volume is meas- , ured in terms of the feverish days of the war when things ‘were at the peak. Compared with what conditions were before the trade boom caused by war, the present business ‘Volume should induce real optimism of the kind that the steel wfrust head scatters as he goes about the country. WRANGEL AGAIN Keep your eye on Wrangel Island. The Lomens of Alaska, millionaire reindeer kings, want iito occupy the island for the United States. Russia claims “the island and has already arrested a party of Americans + who. attempted to colonize it. Great Britain has some claim to it, through the discovery of the island by Stefansson. Stefansson’s rights were purchased by the Lomens. Wrangel is not worth a war. Neither was the assassina- tion of an Austrian nobleman. DIVORCE America leads the world in the percentage of divorces. Yet divorce is just as easy in other countries. America’s religions are more. opposed to divorce than many other nation’s. America is more prosperous, and life should be happier there. Perhaps the solution lies in mob psychology. In America the nature thing, i. e.: what the member of "the mob does, is to get a divorce with the first strain on the love tie. Yet the “nature thing” in other countries is to attempt to relieve the strain. ; APARTMENTS 5 .

And who are you, please?” asked Nick politely, “['m Mrs. Ostrich and I'm waiting on the sea shore. It’s as far as I could get. I'can't swim like some of the birds—and I can’t fly—so will you please sfhd for me right away?” “Sure,” said Nick. “I'll get you.” So the Twins took Doctor Bill's ferry boat and got Mrs. Ostrich and hrought her to Doctor Bill's Hospi- tal, and by that time the rooster was all fixed up, so the bird doctor had time to-took at his new patient. She was about three times as tall as he was, so he had to get up on ¢ chair to look at her tongue. “Who A hiss in the dark can silence two people; a kiss in broad daylight can start a whole city talking: reaper ye erm at Premier Stambuliski, who was so}: THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO THE LITTLE MARQUISE, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER, CONTINUED As I read that clipping, little Mur- quise, I could not help thinking of Alice and her pained, drawn, tear- stained face that morning, when she came into the shop. Then she was not sure that this wedding which had been described as “the most brilliant ever given in Albany,” would come off. Then she told me that she did not know whether she was in love with Porter Breed or not. Then all she| did know was that he was her last chance, that unless she married him it looked as though starvation would sture her in the face. It was a very different girl that walked up the aisle of St. John's. Life had become bright again. She had evidently reached the summit of her desire. I shall follow’ her married life with great interest, for you know, little Marquise, 1 married Jack with a great overwhelming love, such as Alice evidently had never known. I shall like to know if her marriage will be any more success- ful than mine has been, I wondér if in her case freedom from the sordid cares of life, an am- bitious position in society, and like tastes with those of the man she has married, will make up for that ir- resistible unrest that most people call love, In the same society column of the Express some one wrote of my purty t evening occutred one of the most brilliant parties ever given in Albany. Mr. and Mrs. John Alden Prescott, who are leaving to réside permanently in Pittsburg, took this way to say goodby, to their many friends, “Mr. Prescott has been a resident of the city for many years and has been one of its most popular, as well as most successful business men. He brought his .wife, the daughter of the late Joseph Graves Humilton, to this city a bride, and she immediately took her place in the younger set. “The comparatively recent death of Mr. Hamilton changed the whole business course of Mr. Prescott's life. The reading of the will made Mr.-Prescott the manager of the en- tire steel plant and the executor of his wife's and mother-in-law's vast fortune. “All the city's society turned jout to bid this popular couple goobby, and the hotel where. the party was given was filled with their numerous friends. : “The company was perhaps much more brilliant than it would have been had not the wedding of Mr. and Mrs, Porter Breed been soler nized that noon. The whole pageant filled the drawing rooms of the hotel with beauty and laughter. “This assemblage marked Mrs. Prescott’s re-entry into society from which she hasbeen absent since the tragic death of her sister, Mrs. Karl Whitney, soon after her father's de- mise, “Aibany will miss these two young people greatly.” (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) “What seems to be wrong, Ma- dam?” asked the docter kindly. Mrs. Ostrich doubled right over and went, “Oh! Oh! Ob!” It seemed to be about all she could say. “Is it headache?” Mrs. Ostrich shook her head and went, “Oh! Oh! Oh!” again. “Is it sore throat?” Again Mrs. Ostrich shook her head and went, “Oh! Oh! Oh!” more loud- ly than ever. ‘ “If you could only manage to tell Madam, I might be able to help ” gaid Doctor Bill soberly. “I e you any medicine unless I know how you feel. I might give you medicine for the epizootic when all the time you might be having the pip, and I might give you pip medicine when all the time you may have a bad case of epizootic.” ! “Oh! Oh! Oh!’ went Mrs. Ostrich! again, this time doubling right over. “I haven't felt well ever since I ate that last ink bottle.” “What!” cried Doctor Bill and Nancy and Nick so loudly that Mrs. Ostrich jumped. “Just what I said,” she remarked. “What's wrong with that, I'd like to know? There wasn’t any ink in it. I guess I have enough sense not to eat an ink bottle that had any ink in it. My second cousin ate a bottle ,of mucilage and—Oh! Oh! Oh!” Mrs. Ostrich doubled up again and Doctor Bill hur: off to get a large kitchen spoon and fill it with medi- cin lere—take this, Mrs. Ostrich,” he said kindly. “This will help your stomach a and make you feel much best $ Mrs, Qstrich looked at it suspi- ciously. “Are yow sure it won't rust iron?” she asked. “Rust iron! Well, I declare! Why?” asked Doctor Bill. “Because,” Mrs.’ Ostrich said sim- ply, “just befo the ink bottle I found six iron spikes and swal- lowed them. ways like a little iron for dessert. € (To Be Continued), (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

So war perishes of its Synthetic Alcohol Will Be Plentiful and Cheap They are making a new synthetic alcohol, resembling wood alcohol, in Germany, out of coal and water. It is already cheaper than any other form of industrial alcohol, and will, of course, become much cheaper.’ For the moment, -this means that American manufacturers must also acquire the method, or devise an- other, or else yield the field to the Germans. But in the long run, it means that we can contemplate withous uneasiness the certainty that the world’s supply of petroleum is nearing exhaustion. Before the natural oil becomes too scarce and too dear to use, the syn- thetic alcohol will be plenty and cheap enough to take its place. The motor age will be permanent. “Synthetics” Will Repeal Malthusian Law The next thing may be synthetic sugar. That has already been made experimentally. Its practical produc- tion may come *this year, or may take 20 years. It will be in time if it takes a’ hundred years. At this season of the year many children..shed their shoes. Playing in the streets, alleys or yards there is constant danger of cuts from glass, tin, old pieces of metal, or of having their feet pierced by rusty nails. Many mothers do not realize the danger that lies in small cuts. Blood poisoning may result from a’ very slight wound, Hundreds of deaths occur every year because of carelessness in the care of a slight cut, If the wound has been made by ‘ity of six million people such as this there will occur almost 200 dedths a day, yet a funeral proces- sion is a rare sight, especially in Manhattan. Tenement and . apart ment house living makes privacy rare thing. Also it. creates a cal ousness toward the sorrows of o' ers. Because of this situation a great proportion of funerals here are conducted from undertakers’ parlors. Yet there is a morbid curiosity that attracts throngs to funerals of persons they do not know. Today I sdw a-hearse stop in front of a house on West Thirty-fourth street, In Jess than-five minutes several hun- dred people had crowded about to se the coffin carried out.
