This action was taken by the com- mission after the community building committee of the Association of Com- merce, headed by Dr. J. O, Arnson, had appeared at the meeting and gi en the results of their deliber over a period of two months, during which time the community building project has been given a great deal | of study. “The necessity of a community huilding in Bismarck has been so .-horoughly demonstrated during the past few years and especially during the past winter that a committee-was named by the Association of Com- merce to make a complete investiga- tion,” said Dr. Arnson. “This com- mittee has decided to recommend 2 building 140 feet by 72 feet in size, with one story and basement, to be erected on the lots directly north of the city auditorium at a-cost of not to éxceed $50,000.

(Copyright, 1926) When Mussolini. recently told the world he would cut railroad time be- ‘ween Naples to Rome, five hours, by tunneling five mountains, it was sug- gested here that railroads between Chicago and California might do the same to the unnecessaril jong run- ning time between the Pacific and the Great Lakes. Now, lo and behold, the railroads have done it. “The shorter running time begins in October, and west- bound travelers «will save one entire day in California for business or sun- shine. Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and South- ern Pacific making the cut-in time simultaneously, are managed by able railroad men. i Cutting time means bringing cities closer, helping business, making men’s lives longer. A recent cut in ‘time between Seattle and all the Pa- cific coast south, set a good example.

Admiral- MANY DEATHS IN STATE ARE PREVENTABLE Some Diseases Have Specific Cure or Perfect Prevent- ive, Says Whittemore Although North Dakota's death rate of 7.4 per 1,000 of population is the lowest in the United States regis- tration area, from 1,200 to 1,400 of the 4,800 deaths reported annually are preventable, in the opinion of Dr. A. A. Whittemore, state health offi- cer. Chief among these, he said, those which are caused by di for which there is cither a are tive. In this list he included diphtheria which caused 83 deaths in 1924 f which, he said, there is both a 100 per cent effective preventive and 100 per cent effective remedy if taken in} caused 30 deaths and incapacitated scores of people for six to eight months each, It is easily 95 per cent preventable, he said. State His Been Lucky Smallpox, he_ said, is 100 per cent preventable. The only reason the death rate from this cause has not been high, he said, ts that the state has been lucky, severe epidemics hav- ing occurred in many places through- out the country with heavy mortality. Scarlet fever, he suid, caused 43 deaths in 1924’ and left’ thousands with a life handicap of from 10 to.25 per cent. It is 100 per cent prevent- able, in his opinion, Measles with 64 deaths and whoop- ing, cough with 31, each 50 per cent preventable, could be reduced if prop- er steps were taken in time.

Then the marchers passed through Trafalgar Square, to Regent Street and Picadilly to the Hyde Park cor- ner. Finding the great park closed, they j continued through the quict | back { streets. | Suddenly in Eaton Square the police escort turned and scattered the marchers. Some of the men fell in their filght, others were chased by the bobbies and then the demonstra- tion broke up. While the tieup of traffice contine | ued throughout the city and many ex- pressed apprehensions as to ‘the out- come of the great struggle, efforts Were continuing toward a settlement. Virtually all forms of industry were at a standstill today. Millions of workers had their first day without wages. Just how many it ‘impos- sible to estimate, for besides the ac- tural strikers called out, thousands of non-strikers were thrown out of work through the inability oftheir concerns to function. | Health and food services continued, j partly because of the provisions made lby the trades union congress and { partly through the great government j organization, formed for the transpor- jtation for food stuffs and other nece of life so that there might be }a minimum of suffering.

Even the newspapers as a whole |were silent this morning, and the | country therefore was dependent on ‘he radio for news, if the strikers do ‘not carry out their threat to block lits working. Tradesmen, the banks | and the various professions were con- | tinuing business as well as was pos- jsible under the circumstances. \",When London awoke this morning | it found itself faced with an anomaly. lit had been expected that, with ‘the j cessation of traffic, the metropolis would be fairly quiet. But not in years was there such congestion 'Yehicles, for not only thousands of strikers were aboard, but non-striking workers came pouring into the city in every available conveyance and {many on foot. [VAIL the roals leading into London were filled with solid streams of |motor ears of every description and | Of every vintage.

Some of the pedes- jtrains had covered many miles. The ‘star turn in this medley was taken i by an energetic man, who made ‘hig ‘way through one of the main thor- oughfares on roller saktes amid ! cheering from the onlookers.
