Houston merely provided ratification. Smith is an outstanding national figure with a good record as governor of the nation’s largest state and He is a great leader of his party and yet a most vulnerable one, for prob- ably never before has a candidate afforded the oppor- tunity for the voters to vote their prejudices in the same degree. Prejudices should never decide elections, but un- fortunately they are a large and too often a dominat- ing factor. In every way Al Smith is a big enough man to war- rant the honor that has been bestowed upon him by Democracy. Yet it still is to be determined whether as a presidential candidate he will contribute anything to the highly-heralded Democratic renaissance prom- ised in the forthcomig campaign. No one should vote against Smith because of his religion. He won the heart of every voter of breadth and fairness in his reply to the Marshall letter upon that issue, for there is none in this land of breadth or fair- ness who will deny another the right “to walk humbly with his God” in any faith he chooses. No one should vote against Smith because of his fearless expression of his views upon the wet and dry issue, for they were accompanied with a pledge for law enforcement and his record shows that he has always stood rigidly for that. Smith has a right to be judged, however, upon the platform given him by the party whose choice he is. That is fair and is one of the conditions of American politics. That platform will receive its full share of discussion during the course of the campaign. Smith goes into the presidential contest now opening with some distinct and unfortunate handicaps. It is too early to estimate their effect. He has no cinch. OUR STANDARDS SPREAD + Social students. who fear that standardization brought about by American industrial methods is hav- ing a bad influence on the world will not get any com- fort from a report just issued by the American En- gineering Standards Committee. : This report reveals that American standardization. methods are spreading all over the world, and shows how 20 great industrial nations have joined in a move that will increase standardization in practically every industry on earth. It is an inevitable trend of the times and there is no use lamenting it. It has changed our civilization, to be sure; but there are increasing indications that it is going to prove a change for the better. | “Editorial Comment | —__—— $$ — THE BEST CHECK ON CARELESS DRIVING (Duluth Herald) In one recent week forty-five Pennsylvania motorists had their driving licenses taken away from them for serious violations of the state motor code. In that same week not a single careless or drunken driver in Minnesota had his license revoked, nor. in any week; because Minnesota drivers have no licenses to be taken a) In Pennsylvania, and in many other states, a reck- less driver quits driving. He can’t drive without a license, and the state takes away his license if he deserves to have it aken away. If there is a better way of protecting the public against reckless drivers than this, nobody has yet im- agined it. é ‘Yet Minnesota still stupidly refrains fzom requiring those who drive automobiles to be licensed. Minnesota licenses auctioneers, embalmers, horse- shoers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, accountants, mid- wives, osteopaths, chiropractors, nurses, chiropodists, optometrists, druggists, barbers, veterinarians, elec- tricians and stallions, 5 But the person who drives a powerful mechar.ism that is easily capable of becaming a deadly weapon in the hands of a drunken person, a novice, a person of poor judgment or a reckless fool, is not required to have a license or to show any.capacity for driving. | Minnesota's failure to require a driver's license is nothing short of criminal negligence. QUALITY BEEF (St. Paul Dispatch) i Fancy stock raisers are reaping their reward this week on the “South St. Paul cattle market. Prices for quality grades reached high levels for the year on Wednesday with a top of $14.50 per hundred pounds for Shorthorn yearlings from South Dakota, while fat beeves from Minnesota were a shade less. On Thursday prices were off slightly with $14.25 for the best offerings. The demand for high quality animals is encouraging the livestock grower to produce the kind of beef the public wants and. for which it appears to be willing to pay a good price. Compared with the average of prices a year ago present levels are giving returns to the stock man after his lean years of the past.. The reatest increase is in highest quality animals, Prices or low grades do not show so much change. The American consumer is developing discriminating taste in his beefsteak and wants the best. Even the cheap- er cuts from a prime, fat animal are superior to the best cuts on a scrub animal. Hogs, too, are beginning to pick up in prices after a depression due to Srsraie y. All told, the North- western livestock grower, ta e has taken pains to raise good stock, may look forward to better days. It has cost him more to choose and stall feed his fine .|for keeping a woman happy and a “Thome intact. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE AND TO THINK THAT BACK IN 1776 THIS WAS JUST A ONE -MAN PROCESSION !

Famous teams have been split, companies disrupted, brothers and isters sent on their separate ways and husbands and wives have heaved many a platter at one another. “Billing,” it might be explained to the unini e, is the practice of. pre- senting an ctor or entertainer, either by means of the big lights, the newspaper type, the billboard lodgers, the program announce- ments or the theatrical paper ad- vertisements, Thousands of contracts, both for stage and screen include the agree- ment that the individual in ques- tion” will get the “big type.” No star would consider a contract which overlooked the featuring of his or her name in the bright lights. Glancing over a year of litigations between managers and performers one would find a vast percentage based on some alleged infringement of billing agreement. There are innumerable outbursts wing out of this egocentric, vain jisplay. you that vanity has nothing to do with it. If they are featured play- ers then, b’gosh, they should be featured. If, by any chance, an- other actor should steal a bit of Actors, of course, will tell | in the craft would think them on the toboggan. oe One: of the most amusing stories in this connec ion concerns a vaude- ville team, a member of which fell dead while dancing. The other mem- ber of the team grieved for many weeks and ordered an _ elaborate tombstone to be built. gravestone for h'mself. Friends, worried about his grief, came to console him. “Listen Ed, old boy,” said one, “don’t break your heart. What's the big idea of having a tombstone -made for yourself? You're not going to bump yourself off, are you?” “Oh, no,” the actor replied hur- viedly.. “I’m having my tombstone made now so’s I'll be sure that my name’s in as big letters as his.” soe Then there was that celebrated “behind the screens” comedy that was staged on Broadway by a cer- tain celebrated movie star. I {seemed that Norma Talmadge’s name was apvearing in 16-foot let- ters. Before this particular star would begin a picture she had to be assured that her sign would be in 20-foot letters. Meanwhile the Talmadge pictyre left the street and a third star dem: .ded larger letters than the second. Finally a draw had to be called because a city or- dinance ‘covers the distance from the marquee at which an electric sign maye be hung. | o . Just a few days ago word came from the mi‘ile west that a tour of Moran and Mack and Fields had been’ suddenly closed because the name of Fields had appeared in larger type than the names of the two blac’-face comedians. One of Manhattan’s best dancing teams has, foctunately. escaped this difficulty. They are the Astaires— ‘a real brother and rister team—who have placed their ar’ above all else and thus have become favorites all over the world. If more actors would learn this lesson, they might be better performers. GILBERT SWAN. Thatching, as a means of roofing houses, is regaining favor in Nor- folk, England.

L. writes: “I have a growth in my head which has almost closed the air passage. I have to breath through my mouth most of the time. Any dust causes me to sneeze, my nose to wate id my head to stop up so bad. I will appreciate anything you can advise to get relief.” Answer: Moct nasal growths can be cured through dieting. The trouble is generally that the mem- branes: of the nose are inflamed and swollen by the irritations of toxins which are thrown out through the mucous glands. Local’ treat- ments to the nose are sometimes helpful, but the s: matic cause must be removed if you are to ex- pect a complete and permanent cure. Question: Mrs. K. H. asks: “Should Melba toast be buttered?” Answer: Melba toast should be buttered as it is being eaten. By actual experience I have found that there seems to be some interference with the other foods eaten with Mel- ba toast when the Lutter is allowed to melt on the toast as it is being made. This may sound a little un- reasonable, but my advice is to butter each bit as it is taken. Question: M. writes: “I intend to go on a diet for duodenal ulcer. Should I go on the fast of orange juice befcre I start on the milk diet, or should I start on the milk at once without a fast?” Answer: It is generally a good lan to take a short fast on orange juice before starting on the milk diet, but if you suffer from any disturbances while taking the orange juice it would be safe for you to gin on the milk diet at once, tak- ing four to eighi ounces of milk every hour at first and then grad- ually increasing the amount of milk until you are taking three to four quarts daily. Be sure to take at least one enema a day while on this fast, as milk is constipating unless you take at least six quarts daily. time, they say, you're usually all through. eee A doctor says the feminine abil- ity to weep at will is a gift.
