The cities disbursed $3,052,000,000. The federal govern- iment, topped the expenditures of the cities by |£0 cents on the dollar. i » Statistics upon the revenues also are given. Put thus, in terms of taxation, we get substan- the same comparative showing. . Rapid ‘growth of the fiscal magnitude of city affairs is “another interesting phase. ~. These figures invite thought along a num- er of lines. It seems top-heavy and illogical ‘hat the federal machinery and activities should | cost more than the upkeep of government and ‘ublic works in 250 cities. Above all, how- Vsver, they go to the heart of a matter every ‘city man is concerned about: Need of the Fnighest ability in the management and admin- ion of city governments. Abounding Riches. : Reports from New York indicate that the /Dorporations will divide among their sharehold- ws $400,000,000 in extra dividends this month addition to the regular dividends to be paid end of the year. This sum represents profits of the year above the amount re- quired to meet all the fixed charges, including Zegular dividends. And it comes from the large Sorporations. How many millions will be di- vided among the shareholders of the little cor- dorations has not been computed. The remarkable and significant fact about this distribution of money is that it does not go #2 a small group of very rich men, It is esti- mated that there are between 3,000,000 and 000,000 holders of corporate shares, many of them owning only five or ten certificates of Esto We no longer hear the politicians de- ning about the “bloated bondholders” when whey speak of corporations.

Undoubtedly many similarly important, things are being evolved today by those who labor alone. Genius has been defined as the ability to correlate two apparently separate ideas tr phenomena. Many important inventions show evidence of such correlation, which may a3 readily be an attribute of a single mind as of group organization.

Editorial Comment - _ Immortals Get a ‘Raise’ (Indianapolis News) ‘ France’s forty immortals of the Academie Francaise are going to get a raise. Their in- come will be tripled. They have been getting 100 francs or about $4 a month for many years. They also had bonuses for attending francs to their salaries. Once upon a time] when the franc was worth 20 cents the immor- tals made about $1 a day from their member- ship, but now it’s just over 20 cents. As many of the scholarly old gentlemen are really poor, most of the academicians, some time ago, re- duced their own salaries to 83.33 francs a month and had the balance added to the allow- ances of their less fortunate fellows. Lindy Invests His Money (Barron’s Financial Weekly) Although Col. Charles A. Lindbergh _ Was willing to trust his body to the air, he considers his money safer in the older, more established forms of transportation, and the young col- onel has invested his small capital in Pullman common stock. ; Interest and faith in the future of aviation might easily lead one as young as Colonel Lind- bergh to put the small capital he is understood to have accumulated from his writing and fly- ing activities into: aircraft industry in some form or another. But despite the belief in himself that carried him across the Atlantic, he has preferred to entrust his investment prob- lem to heads older and more sophisticated in the world of investments. His problem he turned over to one of his Washington friends in the government aviation department, as- sociated in a family way with the house of Morgan. The vehicle chosen was the sanfe as employed for a goodly portion of the Episcopal Foundation funds. A Question of Distances (St. Paul Dispatch) The distance between Bismarck, North Da- kota, and Washington, D, C., is 1,650. miles, but when politicians in Washington begin discuss- ing North Dakota politics, the distance mirac- ulously leaps beyond computation. That con- clusion is borne out by the latest story from the nation! capital that Gov. A. G. Sorlie will be put forth as a favorite son candidate for the Republican presidential nomination at the March primary. The proposal is a very pretty one from the} Washington viewpoint. It would relieve Sena- tor Lynn J. Frazier of the possibility of Sorliz as a candidate against him in June. It would save Senator Nye, who supports Norris, frota conflict with his own facticn, which has en- 8 dorsed Lowden. Something like this was necessary since the) strange incident when central committees of! both independent and Nonpartisan factions en-! dorsed Lowden. Anything that unanimity in North Dakota on political affairs is regarded as unnatural and arouses instant! suspicion. Hence Governor Sorlie is paraded as the favorite son in Washington. There is} still one important party to the program to pbe| heard from—Governor Sorlie himself. Her Memorial Garden (Kansas City Times) Frances Hodgson Burnett, famous as the author of “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” often quoted: When you have a Garden You have a Future And when you have a Future You are alive.

A site has been assigned by the New York City park department, an oval plot of ground on a height at Seventy-second street near Fifth avenue and just beyond the little lake where children sail their boats. The plan has been developed for a garden planted with shrubs and hardy flowers, inclos- ing a bird bath and fountain and a’story-teller’s bench yonet which talks and stories on Nature ven.

Fly REAL ANEMIA IS RARE I find s0 many patients who come to me are obsessed with the idea Sometimes the doctors they gone to have told them this, but often it is their own idea which they: have formed, probably from the fact that their general enervation has given them the impression their blood must be “weak.” . Primary or pernicious anemia is really quitq rare, and not found oftener than perhaps once in a thousand patients; ‘yet, most of the thousands who are suffering from the definite diseases have imagined they had some form of anemia. It is true that secondary anemia is more common, and at least mild forms appear in such diseases as bmp age cancer, appendicitis and other disorders where there is a large amount of pus accumulation in some part of the body. The average person is certainly not more than 80 per cent or 90 per cent normal in any way, and those who think themselves ill] § enough to go to a doctor will show blood test which is som: place be- tween 80 and 90 per cent normal.| 9}, This, then, is the average condition but, of course, the few who are in perfect health will show a hemo- globin count of 100 per cent, with cells numbering over 5,- 000,000 and the lukocytes, cells, 7,500. we do not know them wate first Perniciou: : colored Beara the na who is ill has net the iron-| foods, vel anemia the | probably eaten much as other members after he is told he has doubtless quantities of spi even liver, to iron which his fault tient is that no iron or other ho uses, it is either i fore it reaches the or the yy eid which exists in is not caused by It seems feeds into his are wees lements. food red ‘cel take a somethi: A diminution of the blood’s color, | ¢¢, or the amount of red cells, be called a sign of true anem' the percentage of reduction is at 8) least below 80 mal. cer, and there is always an increase in the number of white bloed cells, pe are the scavengers of thi materials. Whenever these white cells increase to any great extent it is always a sign of certain local disorders, as well as a constitutional toxemia. Secondary anemia‘ can be cured only when the causes which~have produced it have been eliminated. During the cure of tuberculosis: the white cells gradually diminish closer; and closer to the normal. with a} corresponding increase in the num- ry anemia is present in ‘ny disease where there is a forma- » | tion of pus, such as in appendicitis, liver al etc., and when this pus pocket is removed by surgery, or through absorption and elimina- tion, the white cell count becomes normal, and the red cells and hemo- globin also automatically normal. A blod count examination is one of the most valuable aids which can used diagnosing disezse, and any physicia:. who does not > is method of examination wi... every patient is as handicapped as a one- armed paper hanger. If physicians were more careful in their diagnosis I would not smile so many times when patients tell me that they know they are anemic. Counting blood cells under the mi- croscope is the only accurate way of determining either pernicious or secondary anemia, and the appear- ance or the symptoms of the pa- tient are not reliable guides in ar- riving at a diagnosis of anemia. ANEMIA NOT CAUSED BY LACK OF SPINACH sirejuaienes or Eeenary, anemia is really quite rare, but so many ng have a fear of this dease that it is well to make a study of it, and understand th2 cause and the pos- sibilities of a cure.
