But whether it’s really a bird yor, in the language of the popular radio come- fdians, “it only thinks it is’—ay! there’s the rub! : T Monsieur Brancusi’s bird, know you, is a «statue. It looks a little like a traffic sema- tphore, again a little like a finger nail file. ‘Some crude persons even have likened it to a jpiece of plumbing and wondered how it ever +got out from under the sink. Yet others clasp «their hands reverently when they see this «strange thing and call it grand. ates . Aman bought it in Paris for something like ‘$1,000, which is expensive even for good plumb- ing. Bringing it to this country was another : . The good customs officials of the port of New York didn’t like this bird. Some of ‘them even suggested this might be some new- fangled kind of jimmy, imported by the Burg- lars’ Union of the city of New York. The point is: art comes in free, while if it were only one of those things, it would cost $240 to have ft in this country. i So the courts are having a merry time of it, finding out if this is a bird or a baby zebra’s teething ring or something. True, there are no Michel-angelos in the customs service, but the connoisseurs are being called in to com- pare it with their own whatnots and see if it’s in tune. We hope for a decision very soon. If the customs folk finally decide this is art, we’re going out into the garage and get that monkey wrench, We'll place the tool in a handsome vase upon the piano and call it “Midwinter Idiosyncrasy.” So much for that, A Place For the Family Dottor There always will be work for the family c etor, even though the modern medical trend is toward providing a specialist for every part of the body, according to Dr. Charles H. Mayo of the famous Rochester clinic. The family doctor’s main work now has be- come diagnosis—telling people what ails them and where to go for the remedy. That, and telling people who only imagine they are ill that there really is nothing the matter with them. Of the latter sort, Dr. Mayo recently said, many come to the Minnesota clinic seek- ing relief. Perhaps for these people, after all, there never will be relief, osis or no, we should hate to Jose the pergonality of the good old-fashioned family doctor who “knows less and less about more and more,” according to Dr. Mayo. The spe- cialist, Dr. Mayo described as the “man who knows more and more about less and less.” Whatever he knows, the family doctor always has been a man after our own heart—when we were sick. Who cannot remember the reassuring words, spoken in some dim-lit hallway, “We'll pull her through now, all right, I think?” Those words were to us. : Who cannot remember that pleasant face in the dead of night? And how the boy’s face lighted up when the doctor’s warm, confident touch closed on his throbbing wrist? @ th storms and summer heat, day and upon miles, the family doctor has gone on his mission of health and mercy, a friend, a sure comforter, patient, inspiring. : A place for the family doctor?

Verbal not savor of fair Fewer Banks Too many banks, too low capitalization are j the contributing causes of failures in this field ot business. In time of stress such as the whole nation felt as a post-war condition, bank failures demoralized financial affairs in many communities. Out of this situation some les- sons were learned and the American Bankers’ association in session recently at Houston, Tex., discussed the epidemic of bank closings and failures and possible remedies. The bankers, of course, are absolutely sound in urging fewer banks and a minimum capital- ization of from $25,000 to $50,000. North Da- kota has always had too many banks and for years it has been a survival of the fittest. This state should take steps to raise the minimum capitalization of banks and throw other safe- guards around a business into which so many plunge now who are totally unfitted for the great trust imposed. Banking is a highly tech- nical and specialized business, calling for pe- culiar ability and a high order of business acumen. Wildcat banking should be prevented by law, but such a situation cannot be curbed until the states through their legislatures tighten up the banking laws, Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas has cast his sombrero into the presidential ring, declar- ing naively that he will not be a “stalking horse.” There is nothing, however, to pre- vent his being made a goat. | Editorial Comment Pumpkin Pie Supply Assured (Columbus, Ohio, State Journal) The pumpkin crop is short, almost a failure, in Ohio. Such was the sad news made public recent- ly. Apparently it is true. One may ride along any road out of Columbus and watch with care, yet see no golden pumpkin in the field, not even where the fodder’s in the shock and all is revealed. What about pumpkin pie? Thanks be, all is not gloom ahead. Pump- kin crops may fail in Ohio, but that will not keep from us the pie of high place in history, the pie of which our mothers and grandmoth- ers were so proud and which they could pro- duce so successfully. Modern science has brought forth the canned pumpkin. It is a fine product, even if it may appear to lack some of the fresh sweetness when' the pumpkin is fresh from the field, has been cooked in the copper kettle, put into pies of width, depth and quality, magnificent and in every way satis- factory. So hurrah for the man who first made pos- sible the canned pumpkin of commerce! Yea, HE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE | SDM "4 4 LL i / WASHINGTON LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER papers there.

Or are they well satisfied, down in their hearts, with the prospect that, owing to their own stubbornness, the forthcoming session of congress will place on the statute books no con- structive agricultural legislation? And, if so, is it because they believe that this prospective failure will pour oil on such prairie fires as they have succeeded in kind- ling, and hence strengthen the chance—at pres- ent extremely slender—that their candidate, Uncle George Norris, will win the nomination? In short. which do they want the more, re- lief for the farmer, or an issue for 1928? The implication contained in the last half of the question is a grave one. That professed friends of the farmer should be averse to sée- ing anything done for the farmer, for fear the amelioration of his condition might knock the props from under their own selfish plans, would seem unthinkable, at first glance. But, before brushing the possibility aside as too preposterous for examination, let us look briefly into the evidence. And let us call as witness Senator Norris himself. First, says Senator Norris, now in Washing- ton, the friends of the McNary-Haugen plan are not going to agree to any substitute. They are going to go the whole route, price-fixing, equalization fee and all. They even turn thumbs down on the equally unsound plan of the National Grange, calling for what amounts to an export bounty on farm produce, indi- rectly paid out of the national treasury, with no provision for the treasury’s reimbursement. Not because of the Grange plan’s unsoundness, however, but because it is not their measure. In this view, incidentally, the Nebraskan is in full accord with the most recent views of Sen- ator McNary. In one breath, then, Senator Norris makes it known that there is to be no compromise as to those features of the McNary-Haugen plan that led to its veto by President Coolidge last winter. : And in the very next breath, he makes it known that he is certain the president will again veto the measure, and that it will again be impossible to muster sufficient votes to re- pass it over the veto. In other words, Senator Norris and his fol- lowers _know that their bill cannot become a law. But at the same time they are unwilling to stand out of the way and permit the pass- age of some farm relief measure that can be- come a law. To retort that they are sincerely convinced that no substitute would do agriculture as Much good as would the McNary-Haugen plan, does not suffice. They must admit that a sub- stitute plan would do the farmer some good. But whatever benefits such a substitute would confer on agriculture, are to be denied the farmer. The farmer, says Senator Norris in effect, cannot get the McNary-Haugen brand of relief at this session, therefore he is not go- a, be permitted to have any relief. ich once more brings up the question: Do the members of the Norris group really want, to help the farmer, or are they interested chiefly in keeping the issue open until next summer, in the interest of Norris’ prospective presidential candidacy? a now Are prenared in-the- yd the hand of the Boned » to relief, just to make him to support their candidate caused by his fanatical devotion to pick up the diner. his radio station. 5 Then there was the story of the The fact that the commission acs} delegates, whose nationality . need tually wrote a lengthy letter to Eric,| not be revealed, who arrived at the advising him to go to bed early and| station here as the party was about eat regular meals, was surprising.|to leave for New York and was So was the thought that here was 2/asked where his luggage was. father who couldn’t control his ad-| “We're only going to be gone two mittedly weak and undernourished | days, aren’t we?” he demanded, son and had to appeal to the govern- * + & ment for help.

In this spot Napoleon had done thus-and-so and in this spot the Empress Josephine had done thus- and-so. This was the bedroom set Josephine had selected and this was the rug presented to Napoleon by the czar of Russia. Recited in that dreary monotone of the professional guide the words began to whirl and echo and drone after the first five rooms, Outside one of the entrances to the courtroom where Albert B. Fall and Harry Sinclair are being tried for conspiracy in the Teapot Dome cases stands an old marshal who has watched juries go out and come in for 30 or 40 years. He reitzrates the hoary courthouse maxim that “you never can tell what a jupy is going to do.” “Once we had eleven white men and one negro on a jury here,” he relates, “and we were afraid of racial trouble, so they made the colored man foreman. When they started deliberating he stood for a verdict of $5,000 and all the rest voted for $7,500. The jury finally reported a verdict of $5, “Another time a jury debated for 24 hours and after fighting all night they told me to go down and tell the judge they couldn’t agree. I did and tk. judge sent for them so he could dismiss them. As soon as they were in the courtroom the clerk asked as a formality whether they had ar- rived at a verdict and the foreman replied: “ “We have!’ “They had reached the verdict while I was on my way downstairs.” fA Thought 1 , A Teught Judge not according to the ap- a t } pearance.—John 7:24. ‘We went on to Versailles and into their cars many of them came pote salad through another woods, quite the piling out, insisting that others had} A man may smile, and smile, and| loveliest woods I ever have seen.

Many of the delegates encountered new experiences, There was, for instance, the ex- perience of the German delegate who had never encountered a plate- glass door. In the Savoy-Plaza ho- tel he attempted to walk right through one of them under the im- pression that there was no door there at all. Fortunately, no blood was shed. When time came to return, it was found that a New York newspaper thoughtfully had deposited a copy of its Sunday issue in each seat on the Pullmans reserved for the dele- gates.

My readers have probably noticed that I seldom quote any other au- a thor, but choose to write my articles from my own personal experiences with patients, The practical information I give T attempt to present in a simple manner 30 it may be understood by anyone. Th- language I use is much same as I would use if you ‘¢on- sulted - in my private practice, and my only desire is to help you in every way to understand the science of health. In place of consulting. with only a few each day, I am now giving these messages to several million people on the North American Con- tinent. Those of you who have correspond- ed with me may wonder how I can answer so many thousands of let- ters which I receive, and perhaps you will be interested in knowing just how I carry on such an exten- sive corres; lence. The simple fact is that I have succeeded in giv- ing health advice on a quantitative basis, Because of understanding differ- ent problems which confront the health seeker, I have prepared special articles on thousands of subjects regarging the cause and cure of different diseases, so when you write to rfe, in addition to my necessarily, short personal reply, I can enclose | thousands of wo: f advic> on the subject in which are interested. These special treatises on different diseases have been prepared in ad- vance so you receive an answer to your letter within a few days. | The greatest problem is that cor- respondents insist on asking me to diagnose their disorders which, of course, I cannot do by correspond- ence. No attempt is made in this department to do the work which is naturally that of your family physi- cian. If you have been properly dia; nosed and do know the name of th disorder from which you are suffer-| ing, I am always glad to send you! my opini.n about the best methods of treatment. Always remember that the advice) I send you is only my own opinion based upon my own study and my) experience with thousands of pa- tients in a lifetime of practice.
