(Official City, State and County Newspaper) BISMARCK NEEDS PLACE IN AIR An Associated Press news dispatch, Wednesday, focused attention on Bismarck’s place in the field of aviation as ® flying point. It announced that in the latter part of next May one of a series of cross-country airplane races to be flown by the National Aeronautic association for the Gardner cup and $10,000 would be started from here. , .

Bismarck has an advantage that Aber- % deen lacks, and that is, it is one of a line of import- — Ant towns that are very active business centers of the ‘s within aviation circles. It is in the nature of an option on subsequent development in the realm of the airplane. Bismarck’s place on the flying map is being made out- side as well as at home. In fact, it and the airplane are that he has ~t least one thing in common with the flee- ing playwright. Colonel Lindbergh is another who is obviously annoyed by handshakes, fawning and forced introductions. Like O'Neill, both strike for the jungles whenever the opportunity presents itself. RED TAPE AND IDEAS Red tape, when considered dispassionately, is a lovely thing. An American congressman, who will have charge of naval legislation in this session of Congress, feels that a friendly agreement with England is both desirable and possible, and writes to the British prime minister to see if American and British lawmakers cannot meet some- where and talk it over. The British prime minister writes @ cordial reply and sends it to his ambassador in Wash- ington to deliver. The ambassador takes it to our secretary of state and asks to whom he shall give it. The secretary replies that he knows nothing about it; he can't accept it himself, and the ambassador can’t give it to anybody else. So the ambassador has to keep it—he has it yet—and the con- gressman's idea dies a-borning. Maybe it was a bum idea anyhow. But it’s too bad it couldn't have been given a trial instead of simply being choked off by red tape. SYNTHETIC GASOLINE If you're worried what your auto is going to run on in that not-distant day when gasoline supplies begin to expire, take encouragement from the words of delegates to the international conference on bituminous coal, at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, A German tells how synthetic gasoline is made by combining hydrogen and coal. Another tells of an in- ternal combustion engine that uses powdered coal for its fuel—and does right well with it, too. Still another says that powdered rice husks make excellent fuel for such engines. Peat dust is also spoken of as a good sub- stitute. We may be burning some curious things in our autos some day, but evidently we'll go rolling along as cheaply being brought closer together by the onrush of aviation development in general. There is an element of strategic position about the location of the city, especially so with relation to possible airmail service through the North- west. This strategic consideration is bound to bring the elty the opportunity of linking up with other points in the organization of flying activities in the near future. ‘The Associated Press dispatch Wednesday showed that * one opportunity already is at the city’s door. > ‘Thus impressed into the forefront in this area, it soon “ 4will devolve on the city itself to take up the matter of its ‘Télation to flying in the Northwest, so that it may join hands ‘with a line of communities so located as to con- stitute a northern air route across the Northwest and, in embryo, the coming airmail line from the Twin Cities to Spokane and Seattle. Other leading points on this line are actively formulating plans for that day when the postoffice department will establish this line. Minneapolis, Miles City, Billings and Spokane have had considerable correspondence among themselves and with Irving Glover, fourth assistant postmaster general at ‘Washington, on the airmail route. At first they learned that the government was not inclined to create any more routes at this time, but desired to wait till the existing lessons gained from the old. Since then, the greatly in- creased use of the airmail service—which promises to northern route measurably nearer. The leading com- > wuunities seeking to be included in the route have had assurance that their claims would be given due attention by the department, if, and when, a northern route is established, provided they had some facilities to offer, ward Bismarck as a point on the proposed route, al- though when Nick Namer made his nonstop test flight to territory tributary to them, and these communities extend across North Dakota and Montana following the general line of the Northern Pacific railway. Probably the most active boosters for the desired northern airmail route are the airport commissioners at Miles City. They have ex- Pressed themselves as in favor of a route through Bis- marck, Dickinson and Bowman, thence over Glendive to thetr-own city, which has provided what army and marine corps pilots and also visiting commercial flyers have acclaimed as the finest natural landing field in the country. Pride in this and their city, an important trad- ing ‘center in the eastern Montana livestock country, has made the Miles City community so anxious to see ‘the airmail route established. The city has been organ- ized to—in the vernacular—“hop to it” the moment northern route talk becomes a tangible step on the part lof the postoffice department and to press their plea for this Bismarck-Miles City-Billings-Butte-Spokane line. Later big commercial possibilities are seen back of this Proposed mail line, Already there has been talk of ask- ing the Milwaukee railway to extend the Chicago-Twin Cities combined airmail passenger service direct to Miles City flying field, which would reduce the traveling sched- ule to Seattle by 18 hours. A network of north-south commercial air lines has been mapped on paper for eastern Montana, which, like North Dakota, lacks rail ‘facilities in those directions. It is not too much to vision B similar development resulting in this state. Bismarck should be alert to the opportunity when it idevelops.. The air races next May have been conferred on it. With so many other places viewing the airmail foute as something desirable for them there may be a ‘scramble to get on the inside when the decisive moment arrives for mapping it. The city should be organized to get a'place in the line of selected cities and towns. There may be lpgislation this winter enacting in this state the Jaw jn effect in neighboring states, by which municipal- ities are’ allowed to establish municipal airports. If there'is not, there are other ways to be fond to put the city on the route. It might be left to the Association of » Commerce to handle this matter at the psychological moment. At any rate the business community should be alert and get behind any move having to do with the establishment of an effective airport. THE PRICE OF FAME and powerfully as we do now, gasoline or no gasoline, | Editorial Comment | THE REAL CURIOSITY (Detroit News) Representatives of forty nations meeting in Paris have decided there are too many world’s fairs, and they propose to reduce the number. Experience in recent years tends to support their view. Middle-aged men can remember when a world’s fair was the opportunity of a life time. A person who had at- tended one was thought to have the equivalent of a lib- eral education and was admuringly looked up to in his community. It is not so now. All the world has become a world’s fair since them. The man who once in his life traveled 200 miles to Chi- cago has a son who travels ten times that far every summer, He has seen, somewhere or other, nearly all the wonders that a fair can assemble, and motion pic- tures have brought him knowledge of the rest. He is thoroughly wised up. He agrees with the Paris delegates. One world’s fair is one too many. ; A world’s fair has nothing to offer him except a view of the kind of human oddities who would attend a world's fair. But there's at least one of these in every com- munity, and he can spot him without leaving home. DEPRESSION CANNOT FACE CONFIDENCE (Detroit. News) Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington has a bill en- titled “A bill to create a prosperity reserve and to stabil- ize industry and employment by the expansion of public works during the periods of unemployment and industrial depression.” The name, at least, is likely to commend it. Senator Couzens says it embodies practically the policy whieh he followed. when mayor of Detroit in 1921. It will be remembered that large numbers were unemployed that year, but Senator Couzens says Detroit got through the winter without bread lines or soup kitchens by spend- ing about $1,000,000 on necessary public works. — The most promising phase of this prosperity insurance business is the fact that when we are prosperous our national leaders and big business men are willing to con- sider the means of averting calamity. If word gets out that the government with its vast resources of the peo- ple’s money, and the big business interests with their im- mense spending power, are ready to attend professionally whenever the country is threatened with an economic sinking spell, the effect will be a great upwelling of con- fidence. And business depression never did persist in the face of confidence. pee af THE FALL OF BOHEMIANISM (Time) Recently the American committee of the Cite Universi- taire in Paris acknowledged a gift of $25,000 from rich Bernard Mannes Baruch of Manhattan. Mr. Baruch’s money will provide for a room in which, if he so desires, will be placed a tablet with his name engraved thereon. Should he further desire, Banker Baruch could have ten rooms in the university, each inscribed with his name, as each $2,500 is entitled to a tablet. Mr. Baruch, how- ever, did not ask for this, and the committee, passing over the point, reported that it had $325,000 in cash and needed about $100,000 more. The Cite Universitaire, on the outskirts of Paris, signals the decline and fall of Bohemianism among Paris stu- dents. For years students had lived, cribbed, confined, in unhealthy rooms in the Latin Quarter. The French government and the city of Paris became aware of the situation and donated to the University of Paris a tract of land opposite the Parc Montsouris, close to the Porte d’Orleans. Sites in this tract were free and fifteen foreign countries quickly accepted invitations to build dormitories to lodge their Paris students. There is, however, no U. 8. dormitory, nor will there be until the important committee to which Banker Baruch made his donation gets enough money. Recently the Cite Universitaire received $2,000,000 from John Davison Rockefeller, Jr., with which will be built @ large central building.

When we go to the ends of the earth on our honeymoon you'll forget any lukewarm ideas you may have about Dan Harvey.” “Then . . . you still want to marry me?” Jerry asked, her young eyes candidly searching his face. “Of course—more than ever. I wouldn’t lose you, Jerry, for any- thing else in the world.” “But what . . . if afterward -.« . I should find out that I had made a mistake?” Alester's face darkened. “You would have to go on with it,” he said flatly. “You are going to be mine forever.” f His own words seemed to stir him to action. Jerry found her- self caught to him again and held immovable while he took the kiss that belonged to the victor. But later, when he wanted to an- nounce their engagement, she op- posed the idea. “Why?” Alester asked. “Oh, I don’t know,” Jerry said vaguely. “I guess all girls want to anke her to marty him- to risk the family wrath. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLIV SsFjOw can you want to marry me,” Jerry said to Alester, “when you know I do not love you?” She was insane, she told herself, to say such words to the only mil- lionaire who had proposed to her. It was like taking a pot of gold and throwing it into the ocean. It did not seem to discourage him, however. “Because I love you enough for both of us,” Alester replied; “and I know that you aren’t in love with anyone else.” “Because I told you I don’t be- Neve in love?” Jerry questioned uneasily, “Yes.” “Would it make any difference if I did feel that way about an- other man?” Alester did not reply immediate- ly, “No, it wouldn't,” he said finally;, “because I want you, Jer- ry—in spite of a lot of things. I think ‘I’ve known {t'since I first tried to kiss you and didn't get away with it. But if there is any such lucky devil I'd like to know it.” He paused to give Jerry a chance to say something. “Well... who is it?” he said after a moment of silence, Jerry evaded ap answer by walk- ing to the parapet, lester fol- lowed her and put his hands on her shoulders, turning her to face him. “It's Dan Harvey,” he said hoarsely, Boe ° (ERRY pulled away from him— -his fingers were hurting her. ‘keep it a secret a little while.” “You aren't of yourself?” Alester pressed in a voice that be- trayed his worry. Life might have many surprises in store for him, but the most be- wildering one always would be that occasioned by Jerry's procras- tination. Despite the fact that he feared her interest in Dan Harvey might divide her heart, he had held no doubt of her desire to marry well. {t simply had not occurred to him that she would hesitate to wed the greatest matrimonial catch of the season, “It isn’t that,” Jerry said hon- estly. “I don’t know what it is, unless it’s just that I'd rather tell oy. mother first, or Myrtle and Ev- elyn.” ALESTER understood better than she that she was still struggling with her indecision. And her failure to respond to his ca resses had warned him that he must consider her. wish He decided to let her have her way, but he told himself he must obtain her consent to an early mar- riage. “Before she really does fall in love with that bounder,” he added, thinking of Daw Harvey. “I know you've asked her,” Bet- ty Mortimer said to him before the party ended. ' “You look so glum. it matters. You'd’ look the same in either case.” “When you go to Florida with mother you can start warming her up to the idea of having a daugh- ter-in-law,” Alester replied. “You mean a different daughter- ” Betty laughed. “You know she expected you to marry me.” “That's what I told her, too,” % Which way did it go?

He had been a resident of Frazee since 1877 and was in mercantile business untii retirement three years ago. He was president of the First National bank, Frazee, at time of his death. Mrs. J. C. Plowman and Mrs. R. V. Denman, twin sisters of Enfield, Eng., celebrated their golden wed- dings on the same day. i Beene Alderman William Gull of Blean, the weather, so casual were they. “You might cajole the mater in- to announcing the engagement,” Alester said, when he and Betty were threading their way back to their own particular group of friends. It had occurred to him that Jerry would be too pleased if his mother were willing to do that to want to keep their engagement se- cret. It seemed not at all strange to him that he should’ be devising ways and means of inducing a for- mer shop girl to let the world know he had proposed to her. A few weeks before he'd have got a hearty laugh out of it. eee HE did not care to tell Jerry what he hoped for from his mother and by morning, though he did not know it, he was farther away from his hope of having the news broadcast than he had been the night before. For Jerry had decided not to tell her mother. She couldn’t have explained her reasons for this decision because she did not examine them. The truth was that she hung back from taking irrevocable steps. Not that telling her mother of Alester’s pro- Posal would have made her irrev- ocably his, but it would make it harder to draw back. Jerry was not even aware that she wanted to draw back. But she was conscious that for some reason shé did not want to announce the engagement. In spite of Alester’s pleadings she continued to keep it a secret, even from Evelyn. It was as though by doing so she held open @ door for retreat. Alester urged en early marriage, but Jerry begged for a few weeks more “in the theater,” x In reality she meant dom,” because she was telling her- self that once bride she must never let herself think of Dan Harvey again—Dan Harvey would not be forgotten.

We are all fa- miliar with the hoarseness accom- panying a cold and the peculiar nasal twang from a deformity or polypus of the nasal passages. Men who are forced to use their voices in public often develop a sore- ness of the throat and an inability to talk much above a whisper. This is usually termed the “clergyman’s sore throat.” It results from an insuf- ficient breath control of the dia- phragm and chest rather than from too much speaking. The huskiness is made worse by the many rem- edies applied. Lisping and peculiarities of speech tongue-tie or other deformity, or they may result simply from habit. A mute person or one having an in- ability to speak is usually a mental defective, although occasionally a per- son with exceptional mental brilliance is found suffering from some inter- ference with the nerve supply to the vocal organs. A deafness from birth may also cause mutism from not hav- ing learned to speak, (since one af- fected in this was has not the op- portunity of learning to speak). These people may be taught to speak even though they cannot hear, if they will closely watch, feel and imitate the throat and lip movements of others. Stammering can usually be over come by careful training, since it is usually caused by incoordination or lack of control of the vocal appar- atus. Aphasia sometimes occurs in brain diseases from a destruction of the cells controlling speech. The treat- ment for this form of inability to speak is the same as that employed for apoplexy, since the causes are | much the same. The most frequent cause of.a roughening of the voice and an un- pleasant harshness is chronic catarrh. So prevalent is this disease that al- most any voice may be improved if its owner will undergo the fasting and dieting regime which I outline for the cure of catarrh.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Itch Parasite Question: H.J. asks: “What can I driving me frantic. I have tried all kinds of remedies without benefit. Since the diet you sent cured my daughter of eczema, I thought you might be able to help me.” . Answer: The itch or scabies is contagious disease caused by the pres- ence of a small parasite which bur- rows into the'skin. It causes an in- tense itching on the part affected, and a careful examination will dis- close some thin while lines through which the pest burrows and at the end of these lines small yellow or watery pimples will appear. The dis- ease-is made more serious by the scratching which sometimes produces ulcers and scabs. A scrupulous clean- liness should be combined with the application of some ointment to erad- icate the disease. A paste of sulphur and olive oii will quickly kill this parasite, Hot baths with soap should” be taken three times a week and after this bath the affected parts should be Tubbed with the sulphur mixture.

I might as well tell you that I was pretty deeply infatuated with her until I met you. I can’t deny that since I’ve not treated her. . . well, I... we owe it to her.” “I can't see why.” “Well, that’s the way I feel about it,” Alester said, taking a ‘different attitude. “And if you refuse she will think she’s a lot more impor- tant to you than. . .” “She's nothing at all to me.” Alester made an important ges- ture, “After we're married,” he said, “she won't be, of. course.
