(Official City, State and County Newspaper) AN EPOCHAL CONCORD A very great stroke in statecraft conceivably has been accomplished by Benito Mussolini. Seemingly merely a sentimentally great historical event, the Italian dictator's concord with the Vatican musi be recognized as the birth of a new member in | ; the family of nations. This may entail significant dip- { lomrtic consequences in every chancellory of the world. * The Vatican state, to be set up Sunday at the Lateran, when the treaty between Quirinal and Vatican is to | be signed, while tiny geographically, is a sovereign state, + and it is customary for sovereign states to maintain { full diplomatic relations with each other. The pen of Mussolini may thus, conceivably, bring every papal | nurcio out of that twilight standing these representa- tives of the pope enjoy in the international capitals and raise them to full diplomatic stature. This might at times cast a very powerful force into the scales in which the relations of the civilized world are kept balanced. ‘Tsat suggests what the Italian dictator may have achieved by his peacemaking If he has, the. signifi- ance of the emergence of the papacy from its self- immolated immurement far transcends its local aspects. So far the picture simply is that of a feud of 58 years’ Starding being erased. The Quirinal and the Vatican bur> the hatchet. Hereafter popes will no longer main- * tain a hermit-like existence behind the walls of the Vat- ica. but will move about the world like other ecclesias- tics. The fiction of an enforced prisoner, which became the protesting sequel to the roar of the cannon breaching the walls of Rome, September 11, 1870, fades out like the final kiss in the film. What a tremendously sensational piece of news this wouli have been, in a past generation, for old M. de Blowitz. the ubiquitous correspondent of the “Thunderer” E eeee eeneewessenneas nee es Ree! maccaerese masa ey ' : te iq te oy te 4 ‘ WARPED Of iate there has been an unusually large number of young Hamlets in the costume of this period who have answered the question, “To be or not to be,” with a fatal negative. As a result, the viewers-with-alarm have -been busy inventing reasons for these rash acts of youth and taking measures to save the suicide in spite of himself. Fundamentalists blame the so-called epidemic of stu- dent suicides upon the teaching of the “monkey law,” and modernists say the teachings of the Bryanites are re- sponsible. Both agree it is a sign of national decadence, but why they are guided in their pessimistic conclusion | by less than a score of morbid young men and women, instead of by the many millions of healthy-minded ones | is not quite clear. Student suicides have also been blamed on the excitements and pleasures of the “jazz age,” but it will be recalled that hunger for such plea- sures and excitements made life burdensome to Russian students under the czars. Of all the theories thus far advanced that of the Y. M. C. A. seems most plausible. It belieyes the mental distortion of the student suicides is the result of some | physical sickness, and expresses the thought that if they | would pause to take 10 minutes vigorous physical exer- | cise before taking the leap into the Great Unknown, the | resultant vigor of their bodies and clarifying of their | minds would make the taking of their own lives impossi- ; ble. This seems heartless and almost frivolous advice, on | a par with prescribing flints and a flirtation for a brok- en heart. But is the chief trouble with those adolescents | not a warped judgment, a faulty perspective, the phy- | sical source of which is hidden from them? CLARK’S THEORY Hl It is a startling new theory of man’s origin that Dr. | Austin H. Clark, of the Smithsonian Institution, recent- | ly presented. Dr. Clark denies the Darwinian theory of the descent | of man. He does not believe we have any kinship with | the ape, and doubts very much that the “missing links,” beloved by evolutionists, are’ really missing links at all. j Man first appeared, he says, in something very like his | presen: form, and has changed very little. During the next few years we may be assured that Dr. | Clark's new theory will undergo the closest sort of | scrutiny Ly other scientists. It may be years before the final verdiet is returned. Meanwhile, the very fact that - eli) YARRA LAGE TST EN I THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE he presented it is one more proof of the fact that science, at its beet, is not wedded to any one rigid theory and does not close its eyes to evidence which may contradict its previous findings. It will be interesting to see what Dr. Clarke's fellows Say about his theory. OWNING A HOME Some interesting statistics on home ownership are Presented in a recent press bulletin from Walter F. Mc- Dowell, president of the U. S. League of Local Building and Loan Associations. To begin with, Mr. McDowell reveals that fully half of the homes in the United States are owned by men earning less than $2,000 a year. At least 90 per cent of the people who buy homes do not pay for them outright, but borrow the money from building and loan or similar institutions. And he adds: “Any person who is willing to live within his income and who really wants a home can manage the small, regulcr and systematic deposit of a few dollars each week —the London Times of the 70’s—to have sprung on an astounded Europe. As an epilogue to the stirring days of the struggle for Italian unity, it summons a clouded host of notables out of Valhalla merely musing on it. ‘The mind is carried back into the medieval setting of the papal capital and court, as they existed in 1870. It was in the days of Napoleon III, of Bismarck, of Disraeli. of Franz Joseph, of Victor Emmanuel I, of Mazzini, Cavour, of much machiavellian statecraft in the capitals of Europe, of closely occurring and sharply finished wars. Then Giuseppe Garbaldi’s abortive attempt to seize the ancient capital on the Tiber and unify Italy by the coup. Next France and Germany at grips. Then the free moment, when Napoleon was helpless to intervene, when the cannon of Cadorna thunder at the Porta Pia, the walls breach and the 10,000 troops march into the Eternal City, Garbaldi and his ‘ed shirts among them. A little later the triumphal entry of the Savoyard liberator, who not only had thrust off the grip of Vienna, but’ had now united the ened its hold on portions of Italy, opening the way | for Victor Emmanuel and Mazzini and Cavour to bring | their dreams to fruition in liberation as Italians under- stooc that term.

It can no longer limn the iting drama drawing to a close in Sunday's con- first rupture between Italy and the papacy, the continuing feud that has lasted 58 years, and now the climax of peace. The world will have to depend on | other colorful characters to tell the tale. ‘Mussolini, one of them. 7 Sa POMS RIE IE we 0 repprochement ever was accomplished.

For all the prevalence of install- ment buying, we still have the thrift habit. PREVENTIVE ACCIDENTS Wher an industrial corporation wishes to commend it- self to the public it usually stresses its earnings, the size of it. plant, its public services or something of that kind. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation, however, is claim- ing recognition on new grounds. It points to its record in the past year in the prevention of industrial acci- dents. In the Bethlehem plants last year the number of acci- dents was reduced 28 per cent, the number of fatalities was reduced 34 per cent and the amount of time lost due to accidents was reduced 24 per cent—and all of this in spite of the fact that the rate of operations was high- er than in any year since 1917. That's the sort of record a company is entitled to be Proui of. Would that more corporations would take to boasting in like vein. This country needn't espouse communism. I the course of-time everybody will be working for the federal government, anyway. Frequently a bitter-ender is one who just can't think up & new idea that will keep him on the front page. NEEDED, A NEW CAPITOL (Grand Forks Herald) It is to be hoped that before the present legislature session adjourns it will take steps to insure the accumu- lation of a fund, which before many years have passed will make possible the erection of a new capitol build- This is a matter in which local and sectional interests should be forgotten. The capitol belongs to the entire state, and the present capitol is a disgrace to the entirc state. Not only is it an eye-sore on the: landscape but it is a tumble-down fire trap in which no private busi- ness corporation would ever dream of housing the val. uabl records kept there by the state. As a plain business proposition, North Dakota mi have @ new capitol building within the next ten years so. How much this building should cost, how large should be levied annually to make its construction ble, and other details of this sort are matters on there may reasonably be difference of 0} be ironed out in the legislature. ny But as to the general principle of the need capitol, and the duty of the legislature to sion for such a building in the not too distant there seems room for very little variance of views. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Duluth Herald) The old controversy about the religious significance of the Ten Commandments has broken out in North Dakota again. A fev: years ago the legislature passed'a law pro- vidin, that a copy of the commandments be displayed in every public schoolroom. It was argued by proponents of the measure that hu- man experience had demonstrated that as rules for suc- cessf.11 living in ® Christian civilization they could not be improved upon, and that it would be a good thing for the state to impress them upon the plastic minds of school children. That was accepted as sound doctrine, and ever since the Decalogue in a neat frame has | Editorial Comment The New ‘White House Pets’ Are Beginning to Arrive Early! CHILDREN ©1628 by NBA Service,Ina It is better to teach our children | judgment than to do all their de- | ciding for them. In @ thousand ways it can be| taught. But a child cannot learn it unless we give him a certain amount of liberty and opportunity to make his own decisions. For instance—-on the sideboard there is a silver dish filled with bananas.* Now it happens that bananas make Bobby very, very sick. Every time he has eaten. bananas he has had to take castor oil afterwards and stay in bed for two or three days. But is Bobby forbidden to touch them? No. He may eat one if he wishes. He won't be punished nor scolded, not a bit of it. He will be put to bed and the doctor sent. for and his father or mother or grandma will sit up at night and nurse him. Remembers “Talking To” Bobby looks longingly at the ba-/| nanas. He loves them so! Just one won't hurt him this time perhaps. But there pops into his head the talk he had with his mother, or rather ‘the “talking to” his mother gave him the last time he was ill. It went something like this: “Bobby, you know now that every time you eat a banana you suffer for it after- ward. Not only do you suffer but the Test of us do. We always worry ter- ribly every time your temperature gets so high and besides it isn't easy for us to sit up all night with a sick little boy. And the doctor has to come several times and it costs Daddy ®@ good bit of money he can't afford. And you can't eat your meals for a week afterward. All for one banana. Do you think it is worth all that? And I don't want you to make me say, ‘No, you can’t have it.’ I want you to learn to look ‘at a banana and say that to yourself.” Bobby thinks of this little talk as he looks at the bananas and passes on. A few such lessons in self control and when Bobby is a man he won't have to begin at the beginning and pay. @ still higher price for indiscre- ion. t [i l | Our Yesterdays FORTY EARS AGO George P. Flannery, Minneapolis, is spending some time in the city at- tending the sessions of the supreme court. M. W. Greene, Fargo attorncy, is | here on business with the supreme | court. Father Perault was a visitor from Mandan yesterday. Three bills were passed today in the house and senate over the gov- ernor’s veto. They were the news- Paper bill, the struck jury repeal and the seed wheat bill. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Mrs. E. S. Neal has returned from her trip to the cast. Bertha Burton entertained a num- ber of her young friends at a sleigh ride party. Dr. Treacy has purchased 260 head of sheep from near Cleveland and will take them west. A telegram was sent to James J. Hill at New London, Conn., today by Henry L. Reade, acting mayor, for the business associations of the city, extending congratulations on the launching of the Dakota. The steam- ship was launched today. TEN YEARS AGO A card party will be given .by mem- bers of the Eastern Star at the Ma- sonic temple. Arthur Ruhl of the Collier's staff is pare preparing material for an ar- ; ticle. Governor Frazier has gone to Chi- cago where he will deliver an address at the meeting of the National Labor party. The U. C. T. is making elaborate plans for a ball on Washington's birthday. PATENT LEATHER A very long blouse of yellow kasha, over a scalloped, pleated skirt of black satin, has narrow bands of black pat- ent leather binding its crew neck, down the side front, around the hip- line for a belt, and fashioning a shiny flower at the waistline, instead of a buckle. | DAY... “Put on my tomb, ‘He has lived and accomplished nothing.’ ” This request was found in the will of one Max Litt of Trenton, N. J., who died a few weeks ago. His neigh- bors and relatives were surprised, as Litt, supposedly at the head of a suc- cessful millinery business, gave fre- quent interviews on how to achieve success, and was considered @ prom- inent business leader of the com- munity, His wife explained the rather bitter epitah request as a rankling on the Part of the deceased that the business and its plan of management were ell hers. She explained that her hus- band merely signed the checks, “be- cause it looked better.” * oe HER FAILURE Reading between the lines, one gathers that the real failure was the widow who did not care enough nor was not tactful enough to make her husband an integral part of her business; after all, a wife's money launches many a man who is able to save his self-respect despite. Perhaps it depends on the man, too. But it depends more on the attitude of the wife. The very fact that she would “tell on him” after his death proves her fault in this case. * ek O* WHY DON’T THEY EAT CAKE? Lovely Katherine Cornell, the act- vess, refuses to endorse a cigaret, even though by saying that such a brand enables her to keep her lovely speak- ing voice she could receive a check for $11,000. Somehow applauding this sacrifice by a lady who must earn many a good thousand a year seems in the same class as a lady refusing cake who is already well stuffed with charlotte russe. The real test of virtue would be for a dry goods clerk, with honest convictions, refusing @ check to endorse a cigaret advertisement, A PROTEST!

W. asks: “Aren't the first signs of tuberculosis a cough and general tiredness? A person not subject to many coughs or colds is not in great danger of getting it, is he? Answer: The one who is not sub- ject to coughs and colds is, of course, in Jess danger of contracting tubercu- losis, but the best way to prevent it is to see that you do not get over- tired, and also make a strong effort to develop good diaphragmatic breathing. Fattening Foods Question: E. L, O. asks: “Would like to ask what kind of bread to eat while on more or less of a diet. I was eating wholewheat bread and had cut out potatoes and all starch food, but read in your column the other night that wholewheat bread wes fattening.” Answer: The fattening effect of wholewheat bread would depend upon how much you use and, of course, your degree of tendency toward over- weight. When to Use Iodine Question: Mrs. J. writes: “I have been told that iodine is good for the blood and rheumatism—to take eight drops three times a day in half a glass of water. Is this all right? If so, should I take it before or after meals?” Answer: A very small amount of jodine is required by the blood, but there is some evidence to indicate that iodine should not be used with- out @ doctor’s prescription, since in some cases it has proved injurious and has actually increased the size of some goitres. I believe that the best form of iodine is that which is ob- tained in sea foods, fruits and vege- tables.

No school child has any more right to be barred from knowing that the evolutionary theory exists than prevented knowing vari- ous economic and social experiments. The whole trick of education is to turn out psople of interpreting facts and theories given them. * * & “COZIER PLACE” James Lucey, the Northampton shoemaker to whom President Coolidge | has declared that he owed much, went visiting at the White House lately. When he returned to his last and was ' asked about his visit he remarked, among other things, that the White: House was beautiful but not exactly homelike, and he imagined Mrs. Coolidge would be glad to get back to a cozier place. A rather popular opinion of humble people is that people called to the give ‘em protection, and jail looks to be the best place. .

This is a form of self-defense; SHE LIKED IT As a matter of fact, Mrs. Coolidge | has thoroughly enjoyed her life in the big house, say those nearest to her, and will probably regret the days that were in the big house when she is “a cozier place,” just as she to mourn for that place spacious house on Penn- sylvania avenue.
