Another 30 days may put Hoover so far in the lead that his, nomination can be predicted and again the same may result in the case of Lowden, | At this writing, 47 delegates have been in- structed for Lowden, 33 for Hoover and 21 for Curtis. New York's 90 delegates are unin-| structed.

The political leaders who usually dominate the national Republican organization have been playing a waiting game—it may be| that no clique is strong enough to dominate the} situation or that the time is not ripe to start} the steam roller. In New Hampshire, delegates seeking elec- tion on the Republican ticket are pledged for Hoover, except one who announces Coolidge as his choice. The contest between the eastern clique of | Republicans backing Hoover, and the west,! espousing Lowden and several favorite sons may wax so bitter a Moses may rise from the| political bullrushes to save the situation from a hopeless deadlock. At this writing the nom- ination is anybody the crystallization stage. In Democratic circles the situation is not as} complicated. Governor Smith of New York will go into the convention with a large bloc of instructed delegaies, but under the two- thirds rule, the opposition may break down! that support and force a nominee not even mentioned now. Senators Reed and Walsh have been entered as means to control the anti-Smith group of delegates and form a basis for a real contest against the popular A! Smith. All in all, both conventions should prove most interesting political contests and ones in which the issues are going to be most vehe- mently discussed. Lock the Car For the first few months, while the car is bright and shiny, the new owner scrupulousiy locks the ignition and the coincidental loc’, snaps the door catches, pulls up all the win- dows and turns the key in the front door lock. The car is securely and safely guarded against thieves. If the new owner had a heavy chain and lock, he’d also lash the wheels tc some convenient post. That’s how careful he is—at first. But that sense of care soon wears out, and before long he forgets to snap the door catches. Then he neglects the door lock—since there's nothing inside for a thief to take. Finally the owner comes to the point of neg- lecting to lock any part of the car—even tne ignition. And the car is stolen! Most auto thieves look for just such negli- gent motorists who rush out of their seats as soon as they have parked, even before the last chug is out of the motor. They're easy prey. No more than the turn of a key, a casual survey. is needed to insure its presence when the driver returns to the car. It takes a min- ute, yet we are so hurried to get to a game, or a theatre party, or even a conference where take the chance of losing hours and days there- after in waiting for our retrieved car, if it can be found. . We'd never think of leaving our homes un- 4Aocked on leaving them for a while. A Wholesome Sport Basketball tournaments are growing in pop- ularity in North Dakota. Since the state sevents were first held in Mandan at the State /Training school gymnasium, interest has been “growing from year to year.

It was a fortunate move for ; the tournaments to come to the western sec- tion of the state. Lovers of basketball should continue to give their heartiest support to the} game. The Horse, Again | The idea of a fuelless motor is intriguing to What a revolution it would cause ‘hasn’t been built up to a practical and usable size, and it hasn’t been tested under actual, positive conditions. Even if it did prove practicable for aviation, however, it is designed to run at one definite And that lets it out of consideration desirable. Let’s go further and admit this fuelless mo- tor’s practicability to motoring, will it even then hurt the oil industry? Well, it was said years ago that the truck ,and tractor would put an end to the horse. Yct there are more horses in this country today than there were before automotive power cam? into us, What looks like a revolutionary innovation may be just another step fitting itself into the progress of industry and mankind. | More Crossings | For every grade crossing that is eliminated, three are created, according to railroad statis- tics. The new ones come in with the creation or improvement of new highways, cutting through new streets and extension of railway lines, At the same time that this danger is tripled, the number of automobiles in the country is constantly being increased. The result is that the railroad grade cross- ing difficulty becomes more dangerous year by yaer, despite all efforts on the part of govern- ment and railway officials to the contrary. Fool-proof crossing devices have been tried to little avail. The human element still has to be relied on. That human element lies in the soberness and watchfulness of the auto driver. He should that he’s bound to cross their tracks on almost any highway. It is therefore obligatory on into low gear and cross tracks carefully. running at high speed and pushed on by tre- mendous momentum. The match, therefore, is! jall to the loss of the automobile. Burleigh county farmers are improving their stock holdings through the purchase of \some high grade animals. The livestock spe-| cial which toured a portion of this county has} ‘met with great success. This is merely an in- dication of the growth of the livestock indus {try in Burleigh and the ability of the farmer to finance these purchases. | Editorial Comment | Passing Aristocracy Around (Chicago Tribune) Henry Wales, writing from Moscow, says | that a Russian family of four is expected to! jlive on an income of $45 a month. Forty-five |dollars may go a little farther in Russia than| , it does in this country, but not much farther. The coarsest kind of food for the family cos a dollar a day. That leaves little enough for ‘clothing. Shoes cost $5 a pair, socks 50 cents, ;and a shirt comes to a dollar. Rent is next to nothing. The whole family lives in one room and it costs only a dollar a month. That is} about what it is worth. It is eight feet square and has one window. For entertainment, this family gets tickets occasionally to a movie cr to the theater, and once or twice in the sum- mer free transportation to a trade union picnic. About all that can be said for life among the} Russian masses is that it is not much better jor worse than it was before the Russian revo- lation when society was aristocratic. Then ithe ideal was a glorious upper class, a small {middle class which managed to get along in relative comfort, and a miserable lower class which included nearly the whole population. The artistocratic ideal persists in modified form in much of Europe. Englishmen know their place and it is no easy achievement tc rise from it. By way of improving on the aristocratic scheme, the bolsheviks have dragged every one to the level of patched clothing, wretched food, and hovel dwelling. The American ideal to a European aristo- crat as to a bolshevik is fantastic. They said it wouldn’t work and have persisted in that view chiefly by closing their {dence. The American ideal all things considered, we have done pretty well toward achieving the ideal. We have made it possible for men to rise as far as their brains and ambition will carry them. We have never believed that the possession of a father is of itself proof of superiority and we do not think misery is'a proof of virtue. We despise idlers money as good as earned money. Few in this country have even a slim claim to nobility in the European sense. Our out- standing men are, for the most part, the de- merchants, impoverished mechanics, and crim- inals. Had our forbears remained abroad, we should, most of us, be little better off than they are. We should be working the same fields by hand labor, eating the same coarse food, living with few comforts, lifting the cap to the lord of the manor. The contrast be- tween our well-being in America and the con- of the lower classes in Europe from which we are all \sprung is the measure of the success of the American experiment. We leave it to the aristocrat and the bolshevik alike to laugh that off. a What a boon to man-|, | hope for November woul es to the evi-) is to raise the} half the time is lost in trivialities, that we! people at the bottom to the cultural and eco-| nomic level of the European aristocracy, and, and wasters, and we do not think inherited! scendants of peasants, farm laborers, petty|° _THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, March 15.—As presi- dential caliber goes in this country, the outstanding candidates in both parties have it.

SI The single automobile can be more easily such politicians as Charles Hilles of controlled than a great powerful locomotive} New York and Big Bill Thompson, that President Coolidge really is the only man who can pull his party through to 1933, On the Democratic side, of course, the situation differs. There the ar- gument is that Smith is the only man who can be elected. This is based on the party’s need of eastern electoral votes and the seldom spok- en but general belief that if Smith isn’t nominated the Catholic voters, incensed by seemingly religious big- otry, will desert the party. That being so, the ee only ld depend on its ability to persuade Smith, to campaign vigorously for the nominee or on'the nomination of a western man who might win with a combin- ation of the south and the west, eee But the fact that several able men are now out after delegates—or that, s in the case of Dawes—their tiends are—emphasizes even more impressively the distinct possibility that none of them will be nomin- ated. In other words, either or both nominations may go to men who never have proved their capacity for handling a job like the presidency. It is hard to believe that either party will name anyone who has not already gained the respect of the voters by a record of achievement, but it can be done and sometimes— if not too often—has. To look ahead three months can only be done on the basis of spee- ulation, but at this stage little more than speculation is possible, There is a strong movement among Republican _ politicians to sto} Hoover. But if Hoover is stopped, that doesn’t mean that Dawes or Lowden or any other man fitted for LETTER | of o.5] f | | the White House will win. Similarly, if the strong movement to stop Smith succeeds, it doesn’t mean that , Walsh or any other good man can win. A deadlock is likely to mean the defeat of all the leading, candidates, and the compromise man} may be good, bad, awful or terrible. If Hoover can’t make a majority, Lowden’s chances, which no political expert of consequence has recognized at all, are virtually nil: It has been supposed that Dawes would be the logical , compromise .-between these two. But thé Hoover leaders have for months believed that Dawes was the real villain whom they had to beat. Hoover, definitely stopped, would hardly consent to letting any delegates go to Dawes. The Reed-Smith situation’ is much the same. Tammany Hall has been growling at Reed for weeks. The Houston converition ‘is likely to find it after his blood. The same prob- ably will go for Tom Walsh, whose nomination in any event probably would be blocked by power and oil interests. oe @ All these candidates have enemies, so it is not suggested that all deserve unanimous support. But for all the critics, theig records’ have placed hee in their present leading posi- ions. Hoover has been a fine food ad-| ministrator and relief director as well as an extraordinarily able cab- inet member, Smith has a remark- able record as New York’s governor, Walsh did the country enormous benefit in exposing the oil scandals, Reed has served in both his party and the country in exposing slush fund corruption, Lowden was a fine war governor for Illinois and has been able to preserve his presiden- tial candidacy for eight years, while Dawes performed an extremely diffi- cult job in organizing the A. E. F. food apply system, launched the federal budget system, induced Eu- rope to accept the Dawes plan and raised the vice presidency from ob- scurity.

Isn’t it? No fine motor car, no nice, modern apartment with every luxury! No beautiful clothes — not even a permanent wave! * Marye, I do hate to hear a woman ranting about the injustices man has imposed upon her through the. ages. Last week, at the sewing circle, we had an “emancipated” woman _pres- ent and she talked the same kind of nonsense your last letter contained. It’s true that men have always looked to women to preserve the finer things of life, the spiritual and cultural as well as the moral. And in return for putting us up on a pedestal and “shackling” us they have given us comforts and luxuries and beauty. Besides, though we may have lost sight of this in our displeasure at having our experiments with life limited according to their ideas of proper conduct for us, we have had the best of the bargain in respect to the two standards, One growe in beau’ and goodness, Marye, and perishes in ugliness and evil. Man may have been thinking of his own interests alone when he “put across” the single standard— granted it was his doing—but if so, he unconsciously thrust more happi- ness upon woman than she ever could have got by following ix. his foot- steps. You may say tht man is as happy as woman. True, dear, but would either be happy if woman had em- braced the single standard too? I doubt it. I’m sure you were more hurt be- cause people gossiped about you than you let on. I didn‘t tell you to upset you, my dear, but just to show you that there are still people in the world who don’t spprore of the dis- regard of established customs and conventions.

PREVENTING BALDNESS ff a@ man’s or a woman's hair loses its luster and becomes thin at forty, or if it starts turning gray or begins falling out, it is a sign) of general body degeneration. | Everyone wishes to keep as at- tractive an appearance as fact ead and, although there is nothing re-, pellent about a clean bald head, it! can certainly not_be considered a| mark of beauty. The main point to remember, however, is that fallin; hair is a sure sign of failing healt! and a warning which can be ob- served in many cases many months and even years before an impend- ing serious disorder develops. The best way to check falling hair-health is through properly reg- ulating the diet. All devitalized food must be avoided, and an in- crease made in the use of the tissue building foods containing the valu- able hair-building minerals. One who wishes to get the quick- est results from changing to these vital foods will do well to start off by giving the body a chance to cleanse itself of any accumulated toxic wastes. A few days on a fruit diet will be very helpful at the start. The good effect of this will not. be apparent for several weeks, but as the blood is enriched by the new diet there will be a slow but sure change as the hair Sy ited stronger and more abun- jant. 4 I believe that a great deal of good coming from this Soke | and diet treatment is because of the change made upon the ductless glands. Old age and degenerative diseases probably have their begin- ning from a lessening of the nor- mal functions of these glands be- cause of injury to the glands from the effects of an over-al of toxic poisons. As these are freed from the system through a blood- cleansing and blood-building diet, the glands are then able to perform their normal functions. This surely ee an effect upon the growth of air. The tone of the whole body as well as the health of these glands is influenced by systematic physical culture, Calisthenic exercises should be taken twice daily so as to exercise @very muscle of the body. This is even more important at middle age than it is during growing youth. At the same time that the diet is corrected, and the increased phy- sical exercise is taken, every meas- ure should be used to increase the circulation of blood to the hair roots. Frequent combing and brush- ing of the hair, with clean comb and brush, is stimulating to the scalp. Pulling the hair and massaging the scalp with the fingertip: is also helpful. It is important to keep the scalp as clean os any other part of the body. During the first part of the treatment it is a good plan to wash the scalp thoroughly each day with soap and water, rinsing the hair men and women. So I wanted you to know that jf you won't protect yourself from the consequences of too much liberty you will have to face the censure of those who dis- agree with you. It is for you to decide if it’s worthwhile, Marye darling. - Dearest love, MOT! . Next: Marye obeys.

An excellent treatment I have found very effective for bringing a surging supply of blood to the scalp is to treat every place where the hair is thin with the applica- tion of ice. Hold a piece of ice di- rectly against the spot and allow it to remain for a minute or two, or until it no longer feels cold, which will be when enough blood has come into the parts to protect against the cold of the ice. Use this treatment each day before the hair is washed. Keep up the wash- ing and ice treatment for a week or two at first, then about every other, day. The combination of dieting, exercising, and local treatments is bound to produce good results in the cultivation of more abundant and luxuriant hair. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: J. G.

Let him select anv one kind of the acid fruits he likes and have him take nothing but this until he is hungry for regular meals, You can easily find out if he has worms by giving him a worm remedy which your druggist can supply.
