DETROIT Kresge Bi The Wild West in Us A few days ago the railroad police in dle-western city plucked from the - beams of a west-bound box car a 16-year-ol boy, who wore a revolver strapped to his hi brake- and said he was on his way to a life of adver- ture in the wild west. The police promptly sent the lad back to his ., home aR Buttalo, where his father is comman- ’ der of a national eed unit, The young man ‘was undismayed, however. “Tl go want sometime,” he said. He added that he knew about the west and its wildness; for he was a constant reader of cowboy stories. Somehow, it’s impossible to keep from hop- + ng, for his own sake, that this lad will never get west of Ne w York state. He would be so | dreadfully disappointed. He would find his six-shooter (which he swiped from his dad) a useless ornament; he would discover that Cheyenne and Salt Lake City and Denver are as law-abiding as his own Buffalo; he would learn that the limitless sagebrush plains, while aromatic and soul-satisfying, are less given to bold deeds than the Niagara river front, wherc rum runners 0! men.

The Athletics of the City of Brotherly Love Philadelphia ring here only to the American league, a dozen years ago the Athletics were world champions. They were so good that the fans of that biz village on the Delaware would not attend the games because their team was sure to win. So Mack, not making any money with a perfect ‘team, scrapped his organization and started again with little but a bat bag and a franchise. | For ten years he Was in the hole. He tried out some two hundred sand-lot boys and col- legians. His team was always colorful and hopeful, but he could not make it on that line. So now for about three years he has been hir- ing big stars, and at last he has a splendid team. He has been almost but not quite at the top for three years. In 1927 he had the great Collins, discarded iby Chicago. He had also the top-notcher of them all at the bat and on the base lines, Ty Cobb. This year he has taken on Tris Speak- er, a great figure in the game, the only man in the world who can play the outfield and in- field at the same time. He has Collins again and hopes to get Cobb once more if the money holds out. Then there are a lot of other stars like Groves, Rommel, Ehmke, Cockrane, Bush, Ki!- lefer, Schang, Perkins and so on, not forgetting a dozen or so ambitious youngsters yet un- known to fame, but believed in by the ivory- hunters. The team is tuning up In Florida. Will they win? Who can tell? But the fans like thera and wish them luck. If they fail the Athletics will be good losers, and if they win they will be good-natured champions, wearing the hon- ors gaily but not offensively. Full of color they are, and governed temperament. A splen- did American team. Again, good luck to them. fo" Hotel, room and y u board ....... - 5.35 ; es @ 58 P oe Is With Us Nosiumesteen Bell Tel.

CANT YOU LEAVE SHAT DOS BEHIND FOR ONCE 2 ___THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | There’s Always Room For One More | WASHINGTON LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, March 6.—It comes to the ears of your correspondent that there is more dissension than ever in the Department of State and a showdown i likely in the long and acrid war between the diplomats and the consuls. Attempts to confirm the story at the departmennt’s official informa- tion bureau are unsuccessful, but the non-diplomats in Mr. Kellog’s incubator are all of a twitter at discovery of an alleged plan to de- liver all instead of. nearly all the nicer jobs in the department and in the Foreign Service to Ahead men of wealth and social posit in pref- erence to men of lesser means and more experience. A_ sub-committee of the Senate foreign relations committee has been investigating, secretly, the adminis- tration of the Rogers Foreign Ser- vice Act which was supposed to put the consular and diplomatic branches on an even basis. You will have to ask someone else why the secrecy which prevents the public from learning what's wrong with its State Department. The consular officers in the de- Lypirersbs along with other non- liplomatic officers, are frothing at the scheme concocted by diplomats which they say is designed to get all: consuls into the field where they can’t fight back, enable the diplo-| matic crowd psury Tule the roost igeeattl a contest permit. young cookie pushers to be pushed rapidly whead. A new civil service classification has been arranged for the depart-! ment, offer jobs as “Junior State Department Officers” at $1860 a year. It is explained at the Civil Service Commission that this is to provide the department with young men of “proper background.” <A college education is required. The rae is the brain child of Alexander Kirk, the wealthy and socially important executive officer means. The dominant diplomatic clique, as usual, talks about “social background.” The consuls understand that the new junior officers will take over their jobs and that the rich and socially ambitious young men among them will be able to step into pleas- ant diplomatic jobs without passing through long, tedious years in the, lower grades of the service. Some malcontents even claim the consuls’ are fighting for their lives.' Once the whole show is managed by a small clique of millionaire diplo- mats here, the consuls will be far away and unable to take their griefs to Congress, and none of them will be in sight when appointments of ministers, bureau chiefs and assist- ant secretaries are made. The average diplomat’s experi-' ence is only 60 per cent as long as the average consul’s, and the jobs are supy to be open to both, but it is alleged that the gravy | goes toa small favored ‘group. The venom of the consuls is di- rected at Kirk and ‘one of the assist-| ant secretaries of state. They say they don’t believe Secretary Kellogg knows what it’s all about. Following their squawks last spring the consuls are now being promoted in proportion almost equally with the diplomats. Nev- ertheless, they say that instances of favoritism continue and point to one: wealthy diplomat who is receiving his third promofion in three and a years, during which period many deserving and experienced consuls have remained in their tracks, ‘ {A Thought ° —__—_——_—-@ brother's keeper?— If the master takes no account of; his servants, they will make small’ Am I my Gen, 4:9. of the department and chairman of the personnel effici board.

I have repeatedl,.; written in these col- umns that such a diagnosis. by mail| cannot be as good as one made by, a physician who fs able to give the | patient a personal examination as well as to “cross-examine” him, ar through these means gain informa- tion about the patient which cannot be accomplished throurh correspond- ence. Ido believe, however, that many of my readers can help them- selves by a better understanding of| the symptoms of different disorders, as well as certain fundamentals of causes and possible cures. ! For the next few days f am go- ing to try to heln my readers to bt- ter understand the meaning of the symptoms which go with what is gencrally classed under the head- ing of “stomach troubles.” Some important poini . wich may be used by the vatient in a self-analysis of himself are as follows: Stomach Pains As far as the pationt is concerned, ! stomach pain usually means any! kind of a pa! . from the border of} the ribs down to the legs; any place in the abdomen which is that sec-| tion correctly called the belly. The|t stomach organ, itself, should be s uated mostly to the left of the abdo: men, and between the ribs and the navel. A pain in the pit of the stomach} may be du2 to inflammation at the opening of the stomach, or it may; be due to inflammation or conges- tion im the gall bladder which ex- tends from the right side under the ribs often up to as far as the pit of the stomach. If pain pe: ently comes in this region, a d' | ential diagnosis can sometimes be! ade by a patient by taking a tea-| spoonful of magnesia or baking soda in a glass of water. This will often {relieve a pain at the stomach en- trance, but seldom has any effect upon gall bladd-r symptoms. Other pains in the stomach itsclf occur from inflammation at lesser curvature or at tl exit, which is called the soda and water usu: relieve the pains in the stomach itself by re- c .ing the inflammation or tempor- arily counteracting an overacidity of the digestive fluids which may ex- ist. In a case of stomach ulcers even the soda and water sometimes cause pain, where milk may give re-| lief. In severe cases it’ is not pos-| sible to use any food or liquids without intense pain. The common forms of gastritis or stomach inflammation can be re- lieved at least temporarily by the drinking of large quantities of wa- of some alkali such as soda. Pains in the lower abdomen may really be pains from the stomach,| here may be trouble over it. You will if you're sincere about this fifty-fifty idea you're always talk- ing about.

Will you please tell me what causes this pain and how it can be cured?” Answer: The pain in your back and in the back of your neck is ed froth some trouble such as uterine ton- gestion, {yall tl uterus. or con- stipation, If you will take an ene- ma every day it will probably keev ou from having this ache ‘n your ack and in your neck.
