State and County Newspaper) NEW WAR OVER OIL The ostrich is, in many w an admirable bird. He has a fine physique, is easily tamed, can run very fast and has beautiful tail feathers. Yet, on the whele, he is hardly so fine that we should adopt him es our national bird in place of the eagle. In other words, it is not a good plan for us to copy his famous habit of seeking security by burying the head in the sand and shutting out all unplessant sights. For when the ostrich’s head is thus buried his posterior is elevated, tempting the fates to apply a ringing swat with a barrel stave or boot. Not long ago Rear Admiral Plunkett made a speech in which he said that this country and Great Britain were drifting toward war. Instantly a cry went u} “Unthinkable!” The admiral was called many names, of which “jingo” was the mildest, and we all assured each other since war with England would be unspeak- ably tragic it was, ipso facto, impossible. It would be a tragedy, surely. But is it really “un- thinkable?” It is not. Ludwell Denny, a level-headed Wash- ington correspondent who is no more a jingo than William Howard Taft, can think of it, for one. His recent book, “We Fight for Oil,” ought to be read by all of us who have been putting our heads in the sand. For Mr. Denny thinks war highly probable. The United States and Great Britain are engaged fow in a great struggle for world oil reserves. Denny points out the spheres of conflict: Russia, the Near East, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela. Standard Oil is doing the fighting for the United States, while Royal Dutch Shell carries on for the Empire. The struggle is getting more complicated, more acute. ‘Neither nation could function without oil. The world’s oil supply is limited. Each nation, from diplomats and financiers down to the perennial “man in the street,” is determined to have an adequate, un- thecked supply. Floods of propaganda are pouring from each side. ‘ar, in such circumstances, “unthinkable?” Ob- viously it is not. Obviously we are both drifting toward the brink. Obviously a minor squabble over some concession in Colombia or Armenia could touch off a world conflagration. " Such a war would be a great catastrophe. It must be avoided, and it can be, if both sides make an intel- ligent effort to reach an amicable compromise. Some method surely can be found whereby the struggle ca: be bated. s . But here is the point: if we bury our heads in the sand and keep crying “Unthinkable!” no such com- promise will be reached. We will keep on drifting until we drift squarely into war. The only sensible course is to face the facts and see what can be done| bec about it. Copying the ostrich ean bring only disaster. must get together now before it is too late. We THE MILITARY TRAINING CAMP ‘Colonel Norton's announcement of the arrangements being made for the first Citizens’ Military Training Camp to be held at Fort Lincoln indicates that it will be-on a scale transcending that at Fort Snelling, which bas enjoyed a splendid reputation ever since it was inaugurated. The camp will bring to Bismarck some of the finest young men in the northwest. Bismarck will co-operate with Colonel Norton in making their visit here both Pleasant and profitable. There are few more ideal spots in the west for a military training camp than that afforded at Fort Lincoln, both from the standards of natural location, equipment and housing. It should be an ideal school for | ht the soldier and the program as Colonel Norton out- lines it indicates that in. many features it will have an 9dvantage over similar camps that have been conducted for several years. + There will. be splendid instructors, a big program of : sports, a fine regular army band in addition to that fo be recruited from the student body at the camp and other features of special appeal, with plenty of prac- tical work. } ‘The Citizens’ Military Training Camps are among the nation’s effective preparedness arrangements. The frainins given there is rugged, wholesome and prac- tical wnether those receiving it are ever called upon to use it in time of warfare or not. It is an ideal place for young men to spend time profitably. _ Bigmarck is interested in doing everything it, can to make Fort Lincoin’s first Citizens’ Military Training Camp @ suceess.

When: they grow up and take over the business of run. . \ \ ning the world, they will be free from a great many of the ttaditions that bind us. They will have a fresh viewpoiat. For we never quite have got used to our mechanical marvels. in then.selves. we have fitted our lives around them. We have be come, at times, servants of our machines. We have permitted factory towns to be the last word in dreary ugliness; we have permitted great waves of unemploy- ment to follow boom times; we have considered | trial strife, financial and stock-jobbing manipulation: and high-pressure salesmanship the inevitable con- comitants.of the new age. The next generation, it may be, will look at such It will cherish the machines for things differently. what they are, useful strvants, end will not be misled into thinking that automobiles, washing machines and radios by themselves can bring happiness.

And his fresh viewpoint may lead him'to some surprising conclusions. [Editorial Comment | DISTANCE KEEPS HATE ALIVE (Decatur, Ill, Herald) It is a charcteristic thing that, in the bitter contro- versy over the “inscription of hate” proposed for the new library of Louvain, it is the American architect who demands the expression of hate and the Belgian university men who war-time rancors forgotten. Architect Warren insists upon carving across the front of the magnificent building restored by Amer- ican gifts the words, “Destroyed by German Fury.” Msgr. Ladeuze, director of Louvain university, is exert- ing every effort to prevent this en of hatred in everlasting stone. The spouted of the library re- mains uncompleted while the controversy continues. Warren ordered the stone pediment with the objection- able carving. Msgr. Ladeyze commissioned an extra set of workmen to finish the building without the in- scription. Warren came along and stopped them. The Belgian-American friendship, so greatly advanced by. Ame: generosity in attempting to repair some the war damage, is severely strained. Legal pro- ceedings are likely. But the eternally human thing in it all is that the American should be breathing hatred while the Belgian is ready to forget. Msgr. Ladeuze lived through the horror of the occupation. Like every Belgian, he must have lest countless friends and relatives. He saw his beloved university, with its priceless treasyres of the middle ages, destroyed. Still he can forgive. Archi- tect Warren was 3,000 miles away from ¢he scene of the destruction. He was not personally touched by it. Nevertheless, the ferocity of the propaganda period lives in him yet. American soldiers were ready, immediately after the war, to demobilize hatred of Germans. Civilians who stayed at home retained their prejudices much longer. It is.said that when Capt. Koehl of the Bremen met Eddie Rickenbacker, who had shot him down from the air, both broke into tears. The only successful hater. is one who keeps far away from his enemy. Meeting him at close quarters means discovering lov- able qualities in him. THE NEW LEADER OF THE DEMOCRACY (New York World) In the nomination of Gov. Smith the Democratic pat is making its third serious attempt since the ‘ivil war to transform itself from an asylum for lost and discredited causes into a responsible and liberal instrumentality of government. For its devotion to the cause of slavery the party was prostrated for twenty-four years until at last in Grover Cleveland it found a leader whom the country was ready to trust. But hardly had the party recovered from its association with the cause of slavery when it was lunged into new disorders by the rise of Bryan and its adherence to persion and free silver. For six- teen rs more the party was prostrated, until owing to di ion among Republicans and the rise of a new leader in Woodrow Wilson, the party again demon- ited that it was fit to govern. In 1920 the party ng out of power by the inevitable reaction ainst. the war. For eight years the party has been distracted and divided, unable to gather itself together ause the same elements within it which had com- mitted it first to slavery, then to populism, had found: a new idol to worship in prohibition and all the intolerance that is associated with it. We are witnessing now the attempt of the Democracy to do again in 1928 under Alfred E. Smith what it did in 1884 under Grover Cleveland and in 1912 under Wood- row Wilson. . Three bad causes have three times wrecked the party in the last seventy years: slavery, populism and prohibition. Three leaders have fought to save the party: Cleveland, Wilson and Smith. We do not question the aetveerity and we appreciate the gallantry of those who have fought for these lost causes. The cause of human slavery was one of the worst causes that men ever embraced. There were noble men who embraced it. The cause of lism was defended by leaders whose sincerity and devotion no man can ques- tion. The cause of prohibition is sponsored by men who earnestly believe that they are the spokesmen of the Lord. But in so far as the Democratic party has followed such causes it has followed them to dis- union and defeat. judgment of history has been delivered upon them. They are the losing causes of jopelessly dwindling minorities. They are the tem- porary aberrations of the popular mind, rejected in the end by the sober second thought of the people. - THE.

She said she had fallen into the hands of some bridge sharks out here, and that she never wanted to see a card again, she was so tired of it. So I suggested she go out motoring in the afternoon with me, which she did. I like her—her name is Alice Carver — ever so much. We rode around until we came to a very smart little tea shop, where we had tea. By this time I knew the story of Alice's life. She is here with her father, trying to forget the man whom she loves so much, and who recently married herbest friend. She says she knows perfectly well that there is nothing she can do about it, or that she would do if she could, but she can't seem to get over it. No one else she meets interests her at a.i.

But the “Five-Corners,” where gang history began, hears not so much as an echo. Nor does Hell’s Kitchen of sinister reputation. The redoubtable Five Corners is bus! with traffic; the gayly painted bal- conies of Chinatown cast their colors over the hot street; sailors swing out of a tattoo parlor; suspiciously over- painted women learn from second floor windows plying their oldest profession; salesmen briskly come and go from the stores. Only the ghosts of gangsters stalk there. And, over in Hell’s Kitchen, mid- day shoppers make the’ rounds of the vegetable pushcarts which now line the street. There is an air of domesticity about the Ninth Avenue belt of today, with be-aproned house- wives busying themselves about or ket baskets on their ar Today no one can tell where the gang will strike. The Chicago gang college has taught an old dog new tricks. One day a man will step from the curb in the teeming mid- town center, shoot down a man as he sits at the seat of his sedan, hop into a car and drive away. Or he will leave a bomb lying on an auto- mobile floor and blow the driver to has a few minutes later. “It’s a far cry from the bulldoz- ing, he-man gang guys of the Five Corners to the shady, snake-in-the- grass variety now in vogue.

The lemon tree is formed and grown very much like an orange, and the fruit has very much the same chemical properties except that it does not have as large an amount of sugar. The citrus fruits are so closely related that, through budding, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, lime: ind tangerines may all be grown on the same tree. Lemon trees are astoundingly pro- lific, some trees having as high as three thousand fruits per year. This large amount is partly due to the fact that the tree is everbegring, with buds, blossoms, and fruit on the tree the year round. The blossom resembles that of the orange except that the backs of the white petals are slightly tinged with purple. Many people consider the odor of the lemon blossom equally as attractive as the orange. The trees are mee hung with green fruit since the fruit requires so long to_mature—about nine months. The Spaniards are credited with first planting the lemon tree in America, but though extensively grown, it was only slowly developed commercially. Undoubtedly it will become even more popular when its healthful values become better known. 5 In this era of beautiful women, becoming very popular for the hands, face and ir. There seems to be some kind of belief that jar with a pretty ribbon helps the autifier, but lemons are probably the most inexpensive as well as one of the most effective cosmetics ob- tainable. Every beauty shop uses lemons in some of its preparations, and many housewives make it a rule to use the juice of a lemon on their hands after washing the dishes, or 6n their hair after a shampoo. The mild citric acid re- moves the soap curd that attaches itself to the hair after washing.

This will remove many stains and blotches and leave the skin smooth and satin like. There is another good use for the lemon. It makes an excellent den- trifice to use on sore and bleeding gums. Used night and morning it will make a remarkable change in tightening up loose gums and im- proving the circulation and clean- liness of the mouth. There are a number of household uses of lemon juice for removing rust, ink or fruit stains, polishing aluminum ware and piano keys. The lemon is chiefly valuable for its anti scorbutic vitamins.

What do you think of orange peel? I eat the Peeling of one daily with other food. ly age is seventy-one.” Answer: Something is prevent- ing the proper co-ordination of your muscles. Try taking _ calisthenic exercises twice daily. If you will do this I am sure you will be able to relax when you wish to do so. I would not advocate your using orange peel with a meal, but orange juice, including some of the peel if you wish, may be taken by you to advantage early in the morning or just before retiring. Question: Mrs. D. F. writes: “I jhave terrible pains all over me about itwenty minutes after eating even the smallest meal, such as one slice of wholewheat bread, cooked or raw fruit, and verhaps one cup of Postum or milk. Pains are from lower abdomen right up under the arms, especially around left breast. Puts me in a fever while they last, sometimes for half an hour.” Answer: ' The combination of food you mention is not a good one and produces excessive stomach gas which is probably the ee cause of the pains you feel after meals.
