He must, ; however, subscribe not to one or two of the funda- ; mentals, but to all, to be aitrue fundamentalist.

Certainly the power of reasoning was not given to us to be wasted. We need only remember | the parable where the servant was given a sum of money to keep for his master.

" To Study Death = An American physician hes just startled the medi- cal world and the general public by announcing the ¢ompilation of information on death and asking that physicians furnish him with notes taken down during the last hours of life. This information, when finally compiled and correlated, is expected to fornish.a guide that will enabie doctors to make fhe actual physica! dissolution easy, painless and placid, especially for those who retain consciousness to the last, It is rather a unique idea and one that has never feeen followed before. There have only been spor- adic investigations of death in cases of exceptional finthological interest. Naturally the medical profession knows much Mbout death itself, its processes and means of post- poning it, but little is known of the methods of taking the end easy for those who must die. It may seem to be a gruesome research, yet it would be hard to imagine a study more to be de- sired or encouraged. We, all of us, must die, Some few may die, in the natural order of things, in a peaceful, painless manner. Others of us will be vie- tims of accident and disease that will leave us to face a veritable hell cf pain. and suffering before we can cross the berderline into the other world. Certainly we would be grateful for any knowledge that would enable our end to be made more bearable. , State and County Newspaper) Automobile Horns The city of New York has just begun a spl campaign under a law which makes unlawful the unnecessary blowing “of horns and the use of horns iind other sound making devices that are unneces- sarily loud or har and thus inaugurates what Muy be a national crusade. Let us at least hope so. | In the early days of automobiles, when the pil was in @solut ® driv annoying, but extremely dangerous. Many drivers today dash through a populated district without abating their speed one bit, sounding their horns Géntinuously so that they may take the right-of- Wuy by reason of their insistence and their reck- lessness. | = Today millions of ears use our streets, Our night activities have so increased that even in the small- | est town there is some night automobile traffic. | 'Phus the unwarranted blowing of auto horns has become a real public nuisance. The difficulty is that many drivers think that the sounding of a horn is the mark of a’very careful driver and is to be commended rather than con- demned. Such, however, is not the case, for the geod driver is so careful himself and has his car so constantly under control, that he has absolutely no need of a warning signal. If he is approaching a dangerous intersection he does not sound a long } Calling the Walter (Omaha World Herald) While champion hog callers have been uncorking their weird demonstrations of sound and fury in the county fair belt, restaurant owners of the United States have been conducting another kind of call- ing contest. The burning question in the ham and egg belt, it appears, is what and how to call the waiter, But the restaurant owners went into their con- test with a mistaken idea. ‘ They assumed that there are no adequate existing waitet calls and asked for a new deal. They received such glowing suggestions as that hereafter the waiter should be summoned with a decorous “service, please, it “steward.” Considering the growth of the cafeteria system of mass feeding this would seem to be a futile sort of proceeding. What is wanted is not a new meth- od for summoning the rapidly vanishing members of @ once numerous profession, but a contest which will serve to bring to light and preserve the best of the old waiter calls before the last waiter is extinct. There must be on the road a few hardy perennial old travelers who have by actual experience learned hew to sound a call for a waiter which will pene- trate through the din of conversation, rattling knives and forks and the crash of byeaking’ dishes and bring him on the double quick. Let the restaurant own- ers at their next meeting bring some of these old boys together and have a real waiter calling con- test. Our Gasoline Supply Periodically we have heard solemn warnings on 5. fact that our gasoline and oil supply is rapidly | Swindling and that something must be done about # at once. Nothing has so brought the matter home, however, as the casual remark of Fayette B. Dow, counsel for the National Petroleum associa- ion, speaking at the annual convention of that bedy. “At the present time,” he said, “the industry thas on hand a forty-six days’ supply of gasoline.” =. Think for 2 moment what this means. It means ‘that if something happened, suddenly, to the world’s oil supply, that we would be able to obtain gaso- ‘Tine for just one month and a half. That at the and of that month and a half millions of motor ‘fars and trucks and whole industries would be un- gble to operate because of lack of fuel. Fields could Tot be tilled, because of lack of tractors, food could ‘pot be conveyed: easily from place to place, the ‘business of the entire world would eXpéFience a Paralysis.that would be catastrophic in extent. ~ It. takes but little imagination to picture the world would be without gasoline and it behooves ‘eience and industry to take steps immediately to olve the problem of our dwindling petroleum sup: ly and to devise effective substitutes to be used in of s more or less complete failure of our 4 of gasoline. i { Our Marines in Nicaragua (Minneapolis Journal) The American marines are back in Nicaragua. For twelve years they kept order and prevented rev olutionary outbreaks, Last year they were with- drawn in the hope that the Nicaraguans had learned to conduct their own government in an orderly, law. observing fashion. But scarcely had the marines departed than the usual revolution broke out, President Solorzano, chosen in elections whose fair-| ness was guaranteed, through supervision by the American forces, was deposed-by General Chamorro, ! -Recognition was denied to Chamorro, in accord- ance with Washington’s established policy of re-| fusing to recognize Latin American governments set_up by force. Recently an uprising against! Chamcrro made necessary the landing of marines to' protect American interests and. citizens. An American protectorate seems almost’ the only practicable method of maintaining order in Nica- ragua. But public sentiment here at home would no doubt, refuse countenance to such @ move, and it would also be open to serious misinterpretation throughout Latin America, The only: alternative seems to be 2 policy of erecting a constitutional government through elections whose fairness is guaranteed by supervision, and then supporting that in power, “ The United States has a special interest in Nica- Tagua, apart from the railroad, banking and other ‘ventures of American capital, and apart from, the at lips pressed Faith forced herself to rest passiv rapes bas THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE bin Lane, a stenographer, is utterly different from her sis- ter, Faith, who docs all the work for the family of six, including her semt-invatid mothey, ner contractor in brother, Junior, or “Long’ and Joy, nine. _ Cherry, the flirt, is carryitg on _— — ap Ngee in- cluding r Hart, formerly a suitor of Faith's; Bob Hathaway, a young architect; A.oert bi- tleson, a married traveling sales- man; old Mr. Cluny, ‘Gnerey's [sige employer, and Chris ley.
