(Official City. State and County Newspaper) THE WET AND DRY QUESTION In the national and state campaigns now opening it is clearly evident that prohibition is to be a command- ing issue. It is one in which every good citizen is interested. There are good citizens in both the wet and dry groups, of course. Fanaticism there is in both groups, but the battle fs grounded in certain sane and perfectly legitimate questions, Here are some of them: Is prohibition becoming a menace to temperance? Has temperance by force improved temperance by choice? What are the benefits of prohibition? Do they overbalance its evident defects? Why has enforcement broken down as it has? Who is responsible? Is better enforcement possible? What condition can be brought about that will be society. It is doubtful, however, whether Dallas Fun- damentslists are adding anything to its prestige by demonstrations like the present. The action there amounts to open defiance of an order of the court.’ An isolated church group has said to the courts: “We have a divine right. We are bigger than you,” The fair-minded everywhere will see in this an ex- ample of intolerance and disrespect for constituted authority. The motivating thought is much like that of a certain labor organization committed to direct action, Without doubt there is a side of the story, that of the church, that is not being told. But the important fact is that a church organization is defying the law, using spectacular methods and adding nothing to its dignity while doing nothing to increase respect for it. If the case of the church was right it had recourse in the law. It is to be regretted that its ‘leaders found it necessary to become direct actionists over a most trivial matter, for the scoffers are given an opportunity they will not neglect. ‘ AN INTERESTING RECORD The New Salem Journal in its current issue carries a news item of the greatest significance in western North Dakota. It is to the effect that dairymen of the New Salem community marketed enough cream during the month of June to manufacture 65,000 pounds of butter, worth approximately $29,500 at the price paid for butter in June. The Journal says that this is by no means a record for the New Salem dairy district. The figures for the month of June last year were larger. Better farming is one way of solving the so-called farm problem. Diversification is not all-sufficient, but it serves a purpose in the general plan. Few people think of western North Dakota as a dairy country. Yet farmers in the New Salem country are proving it is. North Dakota is destined to become one of the na- tion’s greatest dairying states. The dairy center is steadily moving this way from the Minnesota and Wisconsin country. Better cows are increasing pro- duction. Better prices are encouraging dairymen. The New Salem record is furthey evidence that west- ern North Dakota’s agricultural” resources are just beginning to enter the real development period and that western North Dakota is destined to produce much more wealth than it ever has in the past, pro- vide more good farmers with comfortable homes and assure them more of prosperity than is possible in ‘an improvement upon the condition now existing? Has prohibition had a fair trial? What will be the result if present conditions con- tinue for 50 years? Can the government engage in the liquor business in a regulatory capacity with any better results than are now evident? These are all fair questions and go to the root of the matter. There is an answer for them. Who is prepared to give it? Prohibition for the time has become a_ political > football with certain spectacular possibilities. It is useless to minimize the revolt against prohibi- tion. The facts are too plain. Yet the question follows logically: Is the revolt against the principle of prohibition or against lax law enforcement that has created present conditions? Neither the wets nor the drys in this campaign are in an enviable position, The drys are saying in too many cases that the present situation will right itself. They have adopted a Pollyana attitude that clearly indicates they have more faith in a fine principle than Practical knowledge of what is going on. The wets are loudly decrying prohibition, but offer nothing concrete as a substitute for prohibition or as a fairly acceptable corrective for the shortcomings they. indict. On that basis prohibition as an issue qualifies more @s a campaign distraction and evidence of hysteria than anything else, in its practical aspects. Nevertheless, the country will benefit by the fact that the issue is raised, however faulty its alignment. It turns attention to a condition in which everybody is interested. It provokes the thought of the m It will result in more sincere effort toward enforce- ment. Good will come from it and better conditions than we have today. BYRD ON THE AIR HAZARDS Commander Richard E. Byrd, whose flights to the North Pole and across the Atlantic are well remem- bered, is protesting against transoceanic distance flights, declaring they are sure to cause death because of improper preparation for them and because “flying hysteria” for the moment sweeps the air world. Byrd is an authority on aeronautics. He points out in a recent magazine article that since January 1, 1927, 35 flyers have been lost in connection with ocean flights. The mortality percentage is higher than that in the front line trenches in France in 1918. Byrd has been analyzing the major causes for air - disaster. He lists them as: Crash at take-off, due to overloaded plane and too small take-off field; forced landings in unseaworthy planes; crash in fog or dark- ness; fuel exhausted due to plane being far out of course from faulty navigation; inadequate flight in- struments; inexperience in flying in fog. _ Byrd writes: “I personally and with the greatest » zeluctance venture to protest. I hope this is not pre- “sumption on my part. It simply happens that I have “given many years of time and thought and investiga- » tion to the problem of long distance flights, ever since in 1918 I began flying out of sight of land to test the possibility of navigating an airplane as a ship is navigated. But when, abruptly, scientific research re- solves itself largely into emotionalism, and the gain is naught as compared with the loss of precious lives, then the spectacte casts doubt upon the project.” Byrd makes it clear there is wide difference between @ technically well-prepared flight and a flight merely motivated by a desire to fly somewhere. Every flight failure due to faulty preparation is vhalting the rapid development of aeronautics and less- ‘ening the public confidence in the men and ships of most like areas of the northwest. | Editorial Comment | A WET GAIN THAT MEANS NOTHING (Minneapolis Journal) The wets are seeking comfort in the results of the recent prohibition referendum in North Dakota. In the balloting last week on the question of taking the dry clause out of the State Constitution, the drys polled less than fifty-two per cent of the total vote, whereas in the referendum on the State Enforcement THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE / | What a Dandy Springboard for a Hop-Off! . Dear Mom: Things do happen to me_ these} a: And just ncw, without my. having had any part in the matter, Fate has just used me for a pawn again. Act in 1916, the drys polled more than fifty-four per cent of the total vote. If the wets can get any comfort out of that, let them enjoy it in peace. Twelve years ago a wet’ majority would have meant something. It would have legalized the sale of liquor in a commonwealth that had been dry ever since it became a State. This year a wet majority would have meant virtually nothing. North Dakota would have remained dry under the Eighteen Amendment, the Volstead Act, and State legislation enacted under the Federal Amendment. If the time ever comes when North Dakotans find themselves voting on the question of actually taking off the liquor lid, the chances are that the dry majority will be larger, instead of smaller than was the case twelve years ago. ITALY’S PRECOCIOUS WHEAT (St. Paul Dispatch) North of the forty-fifth parallel of latitude and south of the Alps is the province of Brescia, Italy’s bread-basket, its greatest wheat region. It is almost exactly in the same latitude as the American North- |west for the same parallel runs through the Twin Cities. There this year Italian farmers, with the aid of science, are producing what they call “precocious wheat.” The Italian wheat-grower has noted that when nature favors him with a cool, wet June, he has a fine crop. But when June is sultry and the fierce sun strikes the plant before it reaches maturity the de- velopment of the grain is arrested and the yield is poor in quantity and quality. The new Italian system is based on the discovery of a variety of wheat that reaches maturity earlier and can be harvested before the intense summer heat be- gins. This, combined with a newly found method of winter fertilizing, has been successful this year and wheat growers of the province have had yields two and three times as great as that produced by former methods. Laying aside the perhaps too exubeyant Italian claim that the new wheat gives a yield times as great as the average, there is a definite interest in the dis- covery for the Northwest. Most wheat crops here have been injured in the last few weeks of ripening. Rust makes its appearance then. If an early-ripening wheat could be found suitable for the Northwest it would reduce the chance of loss always present in the last week or two before harvest. It ehaaia be possible. Corn, a semi-tropical plant, has been acclimated and made early ripening to suit the needs of the shorter season of the Northwest. Perhaps the Italians have given us a hint as to the procedure on wheat. POLITICAL CLIMBERS (New York Times) The first week after a national convention is always devoted to the hoble political art of climbing aboard. There ought to be a rule against looking when the ungraceful act is performed. The public should turn its back when a heavyweight politician has to assume the air of glad agility. Several such sorrowful spec- tacles have been observed this year in both political camps. Governor Lowden has not yet exhibited, but every other prominent br pak ican who opposed the nomination of Secretary Hoover, and vowed that it would mean oveenbolning party defeat, has emerged from his cave of gloom long enough to say that the e Commerce is the strongest possible can- didate and will “sweep” the climber’s own State. If Mr. Hoover does this, he will have to sweep away a lot of Pickwic! remarks made by these same gentle- 1! be particularly the case in Ohio, where Thompson, who now swears allegiance to Mr. Hoover, made statements terribly hard on the Secretary of Commerce. But it would seeny that when Senator Curtis, after his angry speeches about Mr. Hoover, can ascend with a smile to sit beside him ‘the air. : Byrd’s protest is timely and most evidently ground- ~ed in facts.

I was not fired; I am leaving with a record of honorable service behind me, and Madame Elise will take me back in the fall if I want to go. She says no one ever has worn, her simple frocks with more dis- tinction than I. and that she would enjoy designing for my type and just seeing what she could make out of my particular combination of lines and angles. My career is closing temporarily because of Alan. He is really quite a deep person, with more un- derstanding of my complex nature than I suspected. He has said nothing against my being in the shop, and has put no obstacles of any sort in my wi But just the same, I know now that he was really plotting the downfall of my inde- pendence. He has been talking a great deal lately about the rush and bustle of the city, wishing he lived neare&the golf club, and complaining he was getting heavy because he can’t ex- ercise as much as he Should, Saturday we motored out slong the shore and suddenly we foun ourselves in front of the best look- ing building, with the most magnifi- cent grounds all around. Alan said he thought it looked like a hotel, and we might stop and get some food. It proved to be just that. Before dinner we surveyed the bathing beach, which was second to nothing T have ever seen. I was enchanted by the place, and after I tasted their friend chicken and waffles, I was maudlin abcut it. Alan didn’t say much, During the dinner, I raved on, and Alan said that there was no reason why we should not come out and stay ducing the summer, if I Now SASON, MY T WANT You =o ACCOMPANY ME CLUB AND MEET PICK UP A DIME.

I thought of the good swim I could have every day, and of how I could play tennis in the afternoon, and clothes and careers seemed very unimportant, so I told Alan I'd gladly quit my job for a summer on the shore. . Before we went back to town we had reserved a suite overlooking the water, and that was that. But Alan did give himself away, and I'm perfectly sure he had it all planned that we would go there, and that he would let me sell myself on the idea rather than suggest it himself.

When you were little I learned that you quite often would take a sensible course of your own ac- cord, but that when I pointed out to you, you would want to do just the opposite thing. It is a great relief to me to have you out of Madame Elise’s shop. I much prefer to think of you swim- ming, playing tennis, and leading the active, out-of-door life you al ways liked.

Heat exhaustion di from inability of the body to adapt itself to a rapid rise of temperature. This occurs most frequently when the air is very humid or the cloth- ing is too heavy, which prevents a rapid hi pack of, perspiration. By sensible changes in our diet and clothing, we can avoid much of the unpleasantness of the hot weather. In one of the middle western cities I saw a number of casés of heat prostration in individuals soon after they emerged from very cool theatre into the sweltering ex- ternal heat.

These individuals always have a sluggish .circulation. It is well to place them on a fruit fast for sev- eral days, with tepid or warm shower baths, hot enemi breathing exercises, and tion baths, A sunstroke differs from heat ex- haustion in that it is caused by a congestion of the blood to the head. The ‘effect is sometimes immediate unconsciousness, and is often pro- duced by not wearing a hat while in the direct rays of the hot sun. Chil- dren, light complexioned people, and those under the influence of alco- hol, are especially susceptible. Sometimes death occurs almost im- mediately, Where this does not oc- cur, there are’ sometimes serious after effects, such as a partial par- alysis of brain or legs, dizziness, fever, and complete prostration. The individuals who do not recover are pecularly susceptible to heat or the sun for a long time after. Because, of the profound shock which occurs with this disorder, one must use extreme care in the treat- ment. Ice packs to the neck will cool the blood in the neck and _re- duce the pressure in the brain. I do not recommend the ice cold enemas that are usually given to lower the temperature, since I am of the opin- ion that it is more important to secure a thorough cleansing, and warm water is more valuable for this purpose. The cooling may be accompanied by sponging the skin roe ice water or using cold shower The. fever of sunstroke sometimes becomes very high, from 105 degrees upward. One who is recovering from a sunstroke must conserve his vitality by as much sleep and rest as possible. hile sunburn is very painful, it the ground that it is an eyesore, lost people believe that it’s only a matter of years now before the Els will be torn ‘down, And, speaking of New Yorkese things that pass from season to sea- son—they tell me that the chimney sweeps, who have seemed to me among the city’s most colorful char- acters, are vanishing.

W, asks: “Will you please tell me if the menus printed once a week in your column are re- ducing menus? I am too heavy and would like a balanced diet which would take off ten or fifteen pounds. Have been following your ‘instruc- tions but do not lose by using your weekly menus.” Answer: If you want to reduce, I would advise you to change the weekly menus somewhat. A simple way to do is to substitute a fruit meal in place of any meal including starch. If you are overweight and will do this, you will probably lcse from three to five Epes @ week. Question: M. asks: “Is it healthy to drink a glass or two of sweet milk ust before retiring every night 2” Answer: Not unless you are on exclusive milk diet, in which case your schedule might extend to bed- time, depending upon how much milk you were taking. Ordinarily, when milk is used at all, it should be used as a meal itself, and not in addition to any of the customary three meals a day. Question: §.

He has written two of his recent pictures and has thus solved the problem of what to do with the so- called rest period between pictures which varies frem a week to six weeks deperding on the production schedule. , As a rule ,players between pic- tures wander around restlessly like lost souls on the wrong side of the river Styx, anxious to begin the next picture and endeavoring to dis- pel boredom. So, Denny, disliking the idle life between pictures, started writing screen stories, In he liked them so well that he wanted to do them himself.
