Furthermore, it under- co ye “ stands perfectly that of all types of this disease the most virulent is Americanitis. Therefore it dreads infection of this sort above everything else. And why shouldn't it? Has it not before its eyes a striking example of what happens to the Latin tempera- ment when it contracts Americanitis? Who is it that is bent upon modernizing Rome? Who is building a sky- scraper apartment and reserving the highest apartment for himself? Who is most eloquent on the subject of Service while grabbing everything desirable for himself and his friends? Who ts indeed so able at preaching one doctrine and practicing another that he remains the idol of American politicians and big business even as he em- ploys the methods of Lenin? The answer is Mussolini, No wonder the newspaper has a horror of Americanitis. It has seen the malady at its worst.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) eee WALTER MADDOCK It's plain Walter Maddock again. The ornament is gone from the name, Otherwise no change. The retir- ing governor has left the office the same very fine and charming westerner whom fate lifted up to the highest honor in the gift of the people of North Dakota. In- stead of Governor Maddock, he becomes Mr. Maddock. He retires with the respect of the people of the state. He also retires better understood than he was. His fare- well message to the legislature will assure that, Even those who may dissent with his views will admit he has educated himself on facts dealing with the public affairs of North Dakota. He marshals these skillfully in his plea for certain legislation which he asserts will redound to the welfare of this empire of agriculture. He and his successor agree in a plan of grain storage, for example, though, as Governor Maddock, the retired executive may have had a plan differing in detail from that of Governor Shafer. The latter did not go Into any but general details of the storage Proposal, contenting himself with leaving that to the state lawmakers. In leaving office, there is a prospect that Mr. Maddock ‘will become the champion, for the time being, of the farmers of the state, through his connection with the Farmers Union, That should be a big help to the union and a@ valuable source of assistance to the lawmakers. He has the wider knowledge that can enlighten these lat- ter in the puzzling stages of legislation, and he possesses the necessary integrity to invite the consultation of these in any perplexing condition. He can, at least, show them the other side of the problem if he cannot convince them. DRIVING TOO SLOWLY A New York man who persisted in driving along a busy street at a very slow speed was arrested and taken to court by a patrolman; and even though the judge was obliged to free him because he could find no law pro- hibiting slow driving, we're inclined to think that the of- ficer who made the arrest was dead right. When we talk about the dangers of traffic we usually mention the speeder first of all. But the slow-poke is often just as big a danger—and an even bigger nuisance. It is the slow-poke who causes people to break out of traffic lanes in an effort to make reasonable time; and breaking out of traffic lanes causes nobody knows how many accidents, The slow-poke also is responsible for the custom of passing on the right—another source of crashes. On all busy streets he should be eliminated; and if, as in New York, there is no law to cover his case, | one ought to be passed, pronto. | It frequently happens that the man who has the least | religion can put up the best scrap to defend it. Editorial Comment | THE IMMOVABLE EAST (Time) Red felt caps with a black tessel were first made, and still are, at Fez, now the capital of Morocco. Also in Fez stands an ancient house where descendants of True Prophet Mohammed once dwelt. Last week M. le Cap- itaine Guitard of the Twenty-fourth French infantry was biileted in the “Holy House.” Said the Capitaine’s swarthy Moroccan orderly to him: “When you enter, mon Capitaine, you must kics the door- Post and abve all you must not smoke, for the seed of the Prophet have lain here.” Carelessly whistling Capt. Guitard strode into the house, stretched out upon the lumpy bed that was to be his, scratched match, lit cigarette. Later he disrobed, nee! aside his pistol. The orderly picked it up and shot dead, 30,000 LOOK FOR JOBS Thirty thousand men gathered in the open lots sur- Tounding the Ford Motor company’s plant in Detroit the other day looking for jobs. All were unemployed; some of them lived in Detroit, some had been drawn from dis- tant cities by the announcement that Ford was going to enlarge his staff. Throughou: a long winter day they stood in the cold, waiting for a chance ‘9 be put to work. There is something about that bit of news that makes one stop and do @ little thinking. Thirty thousand men—collected from the cities, towns and farms of the middle west, waiting all day long in the «old and snow for a chance to win the jobs that meant the difference between comfort and privation. More men than Washington ever commanded in his continental army, standing in line to let one of the modern kings of the earth take his pick. Was there ever @ time in all histor: when that many Adult males, lacking the means of earning r. living, could meet in one place withoug provoking fears of riot, blood- shed and destruction? Has it often happened that one man has been arbiter of destiny for so many? We specialize in bigness, in this country. Our factories fare the biggest on earth, our buildings are the tallest, our rich men are the richest. The 30,000 men who met out- side Henry Ford's factory door symbolized, in a striking ‘way, our New World civilization, A land of magnificent plenty and a land of eternal cor:petition; a land where a dob is the biggest thing in life; a land where th> race is always to the strong and the swift; o lard where old ‘words like democracy and equality have heen completely ‘changed about in their meanings by whirring machinery +—those things, and more, were implied by the presence of THE BULGING HARVEST (Detroit News) In the history of the world the United States of Amer- ica is the first country to complain of raising too much food. Always before and elsewhere the land that “flowed with milk and honey,” the land that was “well watered and fruitful,” the land whose granaries bulged, free from famine and fearing no want, made no mention in history of its agrarian problem. ‘The past agricultural year in this country has but one complaint: The farms raised too much. The secretary of agriculture reports that there were numerous “unde- sirable crop overproductions.” The gross income for the crop year of 1927-28 is estimated at $12,263,000,000, which is about $12,000,000 more than that of the previous sea- son. And this is a pleasing factor of the agricultural year: The prosperity, or the undesirable superabundance, was pretty equally distributed. The report says that “the situation is less uneven than in any year since 1920, There are fewer distress areas.” Satisfaction seems to accompany the conditions, for the loss of farm Popula- tion to the cities is reported as “cut in’ half.” THE MAN—A SHORT STORY (Toledo Blade) How complicate, how wonderful is man! He sat in a jail cell—perplexed, wondering what de- cision Wife No. 1 would make. His fate was in her hands; his aching head was held in his own hands. The Man would go back to her if she would let him. Not an in- spiring picture, The Man. He was not living up to the standard of heroic poetry. There is about his predica- ment the flavor of tragedy. Wife No. 2 really made the story. She was only 22 and had lived with The Man two years. No 1 was older and wiser. Yet the younger wife was wise, too, when she sald to the older woman: “T'll give him back to you if you'll promise not to put him in jail.” ‘That was sympathy, perhaps sacrifice. Anyway, there was the element of self-effacement about the surrender. What did the older woman, the wiser one, say? This: “I don't know. I'll think it over.” And while she was thinking it over The Man was knit- ting his own brow. How wonderful is man!

I shouldn't think of bringing up a child without an animal to love and look after and call his own. Dogs, possessing so many of the hu- man traits, are preferable for chil- dren. Of course we still have the calam- ity-howlers with us. Dogs bite, they go mad, they carry germs, they are this and that and the other thing! Yes, yes, and yes. We know all that. But it is only fair to Rover to show that he is not as black as he is painted, after all. It has been proved that no dog de- velops rabies unless he has been bit- ten by another dog with rabies. No dog, out of a clear sky, suddenly goes mad. Dogs carry germs, but I doubt if they are as dangerous as a whole lot of those carried by people. You can give a dog a good bath with antiseptic soap once a week and keep him rea- sonably clean—or at least sanitary. How about street cars, or stores, or streets, jammed with humanity wear- ing clothing that hasn’t been cleaned for a@ year or more? Schoolrooms, I warrant, contain more germs for your child to run up against every day than @ good family dog with reasonable looking after. Your dog doesn’t need to sleep on the children’s bed or in the children’s room. Keep him in the kitchen, or in @ warm, clean place in the cellar, or in a weather-proof kennel, at night, depending on his breed and his coat. But I should see that he was com- fortable and well fed, with at least one good worm meal of meat, vegetables and scraps once a day, and a little bread and milk in the morning. Don't let his water-pan freeze, and keep it filled where he can get it. It is roaming for water and food that makes tramps of dogs. Don't chain him outside on a short chain when it is bitter cold.

The cure, of course, , would depend upon which one of these causes was responsible. Starches and Proteins Question: D. D. L. writes: “I no- tice you say not to mix starches and proteins, When should one eat po-. tatoes? I notice you say not with meats. Would eggs go well with po- tatoes and bread. Should one eat bread with vegetables?” Answer: It is best to use potatoes as the main food at a meal, using some of the non-starchy vegetables in combination. Eggs should not be ' used with either potatoes or bread, but also with the non-starchy veg tables or with toast and stewed fruit as I often recommend for breakfast.
