CONTENT ELUDES US ALL ‘When one is born into this world naked, with no place provided in advance for shelter and no provision made for food, such person, if he have a grain of intellect, be- comes @ reformer. He questions the right of the more fortunate to be born to downy cradles or frescoed ceil- ings. He is earnestly bent on an equal distribution of the good things of the more fortunate or the better borr.. On the other hand, he who is born rich or attains to riches soon learns that all the gorgeous creatures in their fine houses and automobiles, silks and laces, diamonds and furs, are chasing in the same race with himself—af- ter the unattainable. The real aristocracy, like the foot of the rainbow, vanishes as he approaches. There are two phases of life unfavorable to peace and comfort; the one is adversity, the other prosperity. It is hard to tell in which a man is more discontented with himself and more offensive to others. When prosperous he patronizes; when evil trouble falls upon him he whines and is a horrible bore. When he is down his friends wish him up on their own account; when he is high up they sigh for mountains to fall on him and bury him out of sight. GIRLS AND THEIR MOTHERS A terrible thing happened in the mill town of Dover, N. J., a few days ago. Three respectable business men were arrested and indicted, accused of causing the delinquency of more than 20 young school girls. More than 200 separ- ate offenses are charged in the indictments. It is hard, from distance, to see how such a condition could develop. But you can understand it a little better when you read what the mother of one of the girls—a child of 13—said to a newspaper reporter. “She had a good home and good eats,” protested the mother. “Does a girl want anything else? No, I don't, know what grade she's in in school. I haven't asked her in a long time.” ee Given very many mothers with an attftude like that and you'll inevitably have some rather ugly eonditicis | among the children.

"| | Editorial Comment THAT MELTING POT (Newark Star-Eagle) A generation or two ago, nearly all names of American college football heroes indicated English, Celtic, Teutonic, Gallic or Norse strain. There were Poe, Edwards, De Witt, Heffelfinger, Brown, Shevlin, Coy, Mahan, Brick- ley, Casey, Rockne, Eckersall—ancestry traceable to some- where in western or northern Europe. The last few'sea- sons, and strikingly the one just closing, have brought into the sporting columns surnames of an oddly new aspect, that go less trippingly on the Anglo-Saxon tongue. The Notre Dame team, whose familiar title among sporting writers is the “Irish,” boasts a Niemiec and a Chevigny. Harvard has a Guarnaccia, as Yale knows to her sorrow. We have seen Kakela, Hovde, Najurski, Pul- krabek performing valorously for Minnesota. Karcis is a wizard passer on Carnegie Tech; Uansa shines for Pittsburgh, with Donchesa, Dimolea and Getto. Nanecek is a star at New York university; Rudi at Iowa State; Kresky and Ketelaar at Wisconsin. These names, whose owners are all candidates for the mythical All-America selection by the experts, are.only a few of many like them. They indicate what the melt- ing pot has been doing for south and east European values in our college athletics, and by natural inference in American academic life generally. DEBUNKING THE SCOFFER (Lancaster New Era) Channing Pollock, American playwright, has given a well-deserved rebuke to that group of professional “de- bunkers” who, he says, “are continually tearing down the world’s traditional ideals and standards.” The assertion was made at a luncheon given by the drama division of the MacDowell elub in New York city. “This school teaches that. honor and sacrifice and ideals are to be cast aside for the policy of every man for himself,” he declared. “For all these things which the moderns wish to destroy they would substitute sophistica- fon. You can’t substitute sophistication for the fine things.” There is a tendency in this modern age to scoff at the standards of our forefathers. It is heard on every side. Even much literature, so-called, savors of the indecent, and distasteful. Crimes of violence usually figure luridly in the products of many writers and playwrights, and the result is a feeling of unpleasantness for those who read or witness. Mr. Pollock in decrying the puerile attempts of so- called critics of the drama to foist their ideas on the world urges that “the drama be taken out of the hands of the police reporter and given back to the poet. I still feel that the great thrill in life is not to see one gangster kill another over a girl in a bedroom scene, but to hear seine Adams repeat the hymn to the dawn in ‘Chanti- While it must be realized that iconoclasm is rampant in the world today, nevertheless there are forces for good siesta mereened ees “debunkers” may be obsessed wi lea eir mission is one 5 its est spi iy of realism, but at iticism, well-directed and well-founded, always has a beneficial effect. Mr. Pollock’s premises are pel aeen, But we are not so pessimistic as to believe “debunkers” will ever gain the ascendancy. The finer things of life will never cease to attract and elevate. It’ where at 's a good world WHAT OUR TOURISTS SPEND (New York Times) Most people will be surprised at the estimate of the department of commerce experts that the amount spent abroad by American tourists in 1928 may have reached a billion dollars. The data have been assembled by the department for its annual computation of the country’s balance of international payments. They were obtained Partly from the actual list of outgoing tourists on the files of the passport office, partly from information by banking institutions issuing travelers’ checks and letters of credit, and largely by a personal questionnaire ad- dressed to several thousand returning travelers. It is impossible to insure exact results by this or any other method; but the investigation has at least been as thor- ough as circumstances admit. Furthermore, use of the same system of estimate in @ series of years ought at least to give.a reasonablly correct idea regarding the in- |-*- crease or decrease from one year. to another. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE: | The Annual ‘Drow ning of the Cat’ DECEMBER 31 1793—Thomas Jefferson resigned from cabinet because he opposed neutrality as between France and England. 1806—England continued to search American ships and impress the crews. 1862—President Lincoln signed the act admitting West Virginia to the Union. 1866—Income tax of five per cent on incomes over $800 yielded $61,071,932. f_INNEW YORK | °-—<——_—<_—_ New York, Dec. 31—“Rubber Nose Hymie” has joined that vast army of oddly-monikered individuals whose fame is carefully preserved in the po- lice records. The same goes for “Blond Slim,” “Whitey Joe” and a big parade of others. In their day they were among the lightest of the light-fingered gen- try. By working the bar rooms it was even possible to be heavy-handed and get away with it. Such agile pick- pockets, however, seldom soiled their hands on the indelicate practice of frisking drunks. Their camping ground was the corner just outside Grand Central station where crowds hurried back ahd forth to trains, or at the old Fourteenth and Broadway change point. The pickpocket profession had de- generated to a sort of “petty larceny” status, Iam told. Skilled hands may not have lost their cunning, but they have. changed their occupation. And Manhattan, which was once the camping ground for purse snatchers, with visiting strangers as their chief victims, hears but few reports except in those holiday seasons when sub- ways are overcrowded and stores are jammed with surging humans. If Uncle Josh arrives to see the big city his attention should be centered less upon his wallet than upon the brand of bootleg recommended by the bell boy or the casual taxi driver. sae ‘Things were different in the days when a pickpocket was a sort of aris- tocrat and artist in the world of crookdom. He was often a colorful and Bohemian character, given to lav- ;, Wen, * + HERE:GOES vHeR 6 ! % ANNAN ish spendings and grand gestures. He prided himself upon skill and would often tackle the most difficult task when challenged. ‘Wilmot was a fellow they still talk about when veteran police reporters gather in Manhattan to swap yarns. Wilmot was an artist in more ways than one. He had been a stage com- edian and injected a certain strain of comedy into his light-fingered oc- cupation. The tale goes that he had been finally placed under arrest af- ter evading the police for some time. It was just before Christmas. A plain clothes. detéctive had caught him working in a subway and was taking him to the station. Suddenly Wilmot began to smile. The detective noticed that one of his lean, agile hands was opening and closing, as though temp- tation itched it. The detective asked him what might be amusing him. “There's an old fellow with long whis- kers across the aisle, and he’s got a swell sparkler on his tie. I'd like to get the pin out from under his whis- kers and give it to you for Christ- mas.” It was, evidently, a tough assign- ment, even for a skilled worker, yet before the detective could stop him, the comedian had started to work. He was, of course, stopped. The detec- tive smilingly admitted that he did not doubt Wilmot’s ability to “de- liver.” eee And there was another—Joe Flan- agan—who one day nabbed a wallet containing $6,000. Within a few min- utes he had flashed word to his pals that he had made a big haul. Before night he had engaged a great tally-ho and four-horse team and was driving his light-fingered brethren from one bar to another spending his money. Thus they cavorted to Brooklyn to attend a christening. al And in those old days when cus- tom’s regulations were cruder there was a “wise mob” that worked the im- migration department. They knew that most immigrants arrived in this country with a “roll” tucked upon their person somewhere. And that those who were “going. back home” generally carried twice as much. Hun- dreds such suddenly found themselves penniless, after years of saving and struggle. GILBERT SWAN. (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.)

ENE SUMNER ‘There is no little talk around Wash- ington about the exploited First Lady, but the season’s debs are very sure that Mrs. Coolidge hasn’t a thing on them so far as exploitation goes. The perquisites of being a deb, how- ever, seem rather to out-balance the handicaps, and even the most blase deb of all admits that being one cer- tainly does entail a lot of graft, and, as one deb puts it, “everybody takes it, so we might as well get our share.” Just how the deb list of addresses and telephone numbers gets into cir- culation is a mystery. The ladies of the social bureaus who almost invar- iably launch a deb are too blue-blood- jed and to the manner born to do 50 crude and crass a thing as sell their deb lists! But get them, the vulgar “tradesmen” do! The debs report that one morning’s mail may contain several jars of cold cream, several boxes of face powder, several pairs of silk hose, much lin- gerie, all with little notes to the ef- fect that if these sundries aren’t re- turned at once, such and such a shoppe will assume that the fair deb is wearing and using and endorsing their products and will say so in pub- lic print at once. “Sure we keep most of it,” the debs chorus. “Why not?’ 4 . IN PUBLICITY LIGHT Because all the world seems to love @ deb, various publicity stunts center about them constantly. At election time several airplanes full of debs cir- culated over the city while the debs dropped balloons with the printed ex- hortation to vote for something or other.

In| some parts of the world the foods | listed as follows are esteemed as deli- cacies: Armadillo, beaver, bear, buffa- lo, cat, camel, cuckoo, cuttlefish, dog, donkey, elephant, elk, frog, hedgehog, horse, hippopotamus, kangaroo, lion, | llama, mouse, monkey, mule, musk, ox, opossum, ostrich, parrot, peacock, Penguin, porcupine, rat, rhinoceros, shark, snail, snake, squirrel, swan, toad, tortoise, whale, walrus and ze- ra.

Some‘st the insects | actually used as food ‘are: ants, ant | larvae, grasshoppers, locusts, cater- | pillars, grubs, silkworm chrysalis and immature bees.” Many strage vegetable substances, too, have been tested by curious hu- | mans. Several races have found that powdered sawdust, from non-turpen- tine bearing trees, cduld be mixed with flour and used for making bread, as have been various dried root vege- tables. Millet, although used by about one-third of the humans of the earth as food, is hardly known in England or America, though it makes @ most delicious. breakfast cereal.

Asks: “Will you please give me the symptoms of nico- tine poisoning?” Answer: Nicotine acts principally on the brain and spinal cord, first causing nervous excitement and then death. The cause of death is appar- ently paralysis of the respiratory cen- ter and violent contraction of the in- testinal tract. Nicotine absorbed by the blood is excreted unchanged by the saliva and kidneys. Pure nico- tine causes death almost as quickly as prussic acid. Six mgrns. are consid- ered fatal. There are several cases of suicide which were caused by swallow- ing a plug of tobacco. Poisoning has also resulted from drinking a brew made of tobacco leaves. Nicotine poisoning from smoking, however, is almost impossible since most of the nicotine is destroyed by the burning. Wen Question: R. M. writes: “I have a wen on the left side of the neck just back of the ear. Will you please tell me the cause, as I seem perfectly healthy. Also, how can I get rid of ite” Answer: It will probably be nec- essary for you to have the wen re- moved by a plastic surgeon. The op- eration is quite harmless and should leave only a small scar. Iodine and Goitre Question: Mrs. O. L. writes: “1! have had simple goitre of very long standing and have been advised to eat @ weed called the iceplant. My doctor claims that it contains much iodine and I would like to have your opinion.” Answer: There may be several oth- er causes of your goitre besides a lack of iodine and if you will send me your name and a large self-addressed en- velope I will be glad to send you full instructions. However, it is not nec- errary to use the iceplant, as the foods richest in iodine are as follows: Gray shrimp, crab, lobster, herring, oysters, green limas, pineapple, mush- rooms and kelp.
