The basketball championship wa: rowly lost, by a fluke to a team which the local hoop- | sta’ nar- sters had twice previously beaten. In addition, the local | enjc Cagers beat two teams considered stronger than the vi tors of the basket tournament. It was patent that marck had the stronger team and should have taken the state championship. This is the first year Bismarck has gathered ch: Pioaships in such numbers and of such prestige | this year. A great deal of credit must go to Coach Mc- | Leod for the achievement. He is a good tactician on thie track, field and gym floor, and has high talents as a trainer. But the mettle of the boys on the teams mt ie ited with having a lot to do with results. Bismarck school boys rank so high in pride, ability and training. From their earliest years the development of sturdy qualitie: the heritage from pioneer ancestors, proceeds. Such organizations as the Boy Scouts take them in hand and under the fostering care of W. G. Fulton and his scout- masters, they are made into disciplined material avail- able for competitive scholarship and athletics by the time they reach the higher grades of the public schoo!s. This year’s winners of state interscholastic champ ships have sct high precedents for those who are to follow them. These latter should hereafter strive to hold | aloft the fame and prowess of the school. They might emulate the examples of Yale and Princeton, the army and navy, Northwestern, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Min- hesota and the host of other big schools which strive un- tiringly and unceasingly to maintain their holds on ath- etic fame. The result: has been not always to make winners, but the fibre of the schools has been developed into the highest quality by the effort, the training end their ambitions alone—which defeat could not take | away. | This policy applicd to Bismarck High would not make it triumphant for a term only, it would be bound to make it permanently a school par excellent. That was what the several athlctic and scholastic teams strove for this year, i a= 4 sit has | THE CLEVELAND DISASTER The Cleveland clinic disaster with its toll of between 125 and 150 lives is an outstanding major t dy. Dis- asters in which human error is a factor have been de- clining of late years. Usually it is a storm or a flood that develops death lists of this length. Railroad wrecks no longer occur with the old-time frequency that marked the days before modern safety appliances had been brought to their present perfection and varicty. The theater has been made relatively safe following such catastrophes as the Iroquois, with 575 lives lost, although these tragedies still continue on a smaller scale at in- tervals. Preventive medicine and sanitation have wiped | out the old-time epidemics of deadly disease. ‘The major tragedies these days, like this at Cleveland, usually are connected with science. Many are of a chemical character. The multiplication of chemical sub- stances for use in the arts opens a vast ficld of dead- liness in poison fumes upon contact of fire with such stores. It was, in fact, the release of the bromine gas in the X-ray negatives stored in the basement of the clinic that caused the many deaths in the Cleveland horror. The conclusions of the investigation into the Cleve- land tragedy probably will be simple and direct. The deadly photographic negatives were stored where they should not have been stored. Powder, dynamite, infec- tious disease germs would not have been so kept. A little thought and foresight would have suggested to the clinic management the equally perilous possibilities of keeping the negatives where any harm to them meant the per- colation of their poisonous fumes up through the build- in, where many human lives were likely to be sacrificed in such event. However, this was not foreseen and it required the horrible tragedy of last week to bring the appalling Ganger home to the clinic administration and the public and authorities generally. It is not unlikely that there ‘are equally dangerous conditions existent in many other Anstitutions and industrial establishments. It is a good time to apply the lesson taught by the Cleveland dis- aster and take inventory of the latent catastrophes, that i they may be headed off by the application of the rule of CHEAP j ‘The advertising manager of a well-known eastern firm _ engaged in the manufacture and distribution of cosmetics on a large scale estimates that it costs on an average $3 _ each annually for women of the United States to keep ' their varied complexions in a satisfactory condition.

Surely choo! boys carried back to North Adams glow- uunts of the way Congressman Treadway led them to the very presence of the president. And the pictures, showing the congressman on Mr. Hoover's right hand— they can be depended on to impress the Treadway con- stituency, It’s a practice that ought to be stopped. The president is too busy a man to be bothered in that way too. THE ADVANCE IN EDUCATION Tew recent developments in American life are more sig- nificant than the tremendous advance made in educa- tion in the last two decades. The federal bureau of education has just released fig- ures emphasizing the point. In 1910 the attendance in public high schools was | By 1926, however, the figure had leaped to) 3,757,000. In addition, junior high schools in 1926 had an enrollment of over 1,000,000, of which more than 300,000 were of high school rank. Added to this is the fact that practically 50 per cent of all high school graduates go on to higher institutions of learning. Widespread education is the prime requisite of a democracy. It is highly encouraging to note the way in which our public education system is expanding. GOOD RIDDANCE, ANYWAY Chice atest gang killing is much like all the others; equally shocking, equally brutal, equaliy ominous in its Proof that gangland lives by a government all its own. Yet there is a gleam of comfort in it. At the very worst, Chicago is rid of two of its most undesirable citi- zens. Sealisi and Anselmi, who were found shot to death in | an abandoned auto at Hammond, Ind., were two men | who should have been hanged years ago. In 1925 they killed two policemen in a running gun battle, but by means of clever lawyers and dumb juries managed to escape punishment. Scalisi, in addition, was indicted for the St. Valentine's day massacre, and Anselmi was believed to have had a part in the same job. All in all, Chicago won't miss them greatly. The breaks always go against the drone. All the world loves a listener. eCOxwree———— Editorial Comment [sie Seis vines eek cut te SHAVING THE VOWELS (New York Times) ments of beauty specialists, and who would stop it if he | There are times e are forced, then, to conclude that the whole show } THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE N | i OR A MANICURE 2 —s The Man Who Just Wanted His Hair Trimmed a Little! . zs ON A 7 \ “% sDAY When Susie Green won't go to Betty Brown's birthday party secause Janie Smith is invited tgo, she gen- erally gets a slick spankMg from the maternal hand, and is sent on her way rejoicing, with her birthday present all tied up in white tissue Paper and blue ribbon. But when Alice Longworth won't go to a party and sit “below” Mrs. Dolly Gann, half sister and official hostess for Vice President Curtis, we call it “diplomacy,” and applaud one | way or another. That's what happened in Wash- ington a few days ago, just as the state department thought it had the moot matter of where Mrs. Gann should sit rather tactfully settled by referring it to the diplomatic corps which, equally tactful, said that of course the official hostess for the Second Man of the Land was like- wise Second Lady, and should out- rank their own good dames. * * * THEY WON'T PLAY “speak for yourself, Senor,” for the ladies, God bless ‘em, state depart- ment or no, are solving matters in their own instinctive way by “not Playing.” Queerly enough, they're getting away with it. One can imagine the little prestige for taking the bit in her own teeth, and yet the same stuff in a man would be soundly scored. Somehow with all the hullabaloo about where Mrs. Gann shall wave her aigrettes, one can not help be- lieving that the whole rumpus gocs back to whether or not the parties in the case are themselves tactful about the matter and likeable persons.

When we find the rule and also find that, if enforced, it will oust the gals we do like, we are in a Something is certainly going to happen to the English language as soon as the new dialogue pictures are firm- ly established. Interest in varieties of accent has been greatly stimulated, and sections of England and America Where peculiarities are strongly marked are doing their best to convince the rest of the English-speaking world that their own idiosyncrasies are true and correct. The usual method of issuing such Propaganda is by pointing cut the ridiculousness of other accents, The tendency of the Southern English to clip all vowel sounds until they are reduced to the briefest “eh” makes the shortest or broadest “o” and “a” almost indistinguish- able from each other. One of the British committees on pronunciation has been protesting that this is not “the Oxford accent,” as it is often called, but the “particular Property of motor salesmen and other elegants of smart commerce.” A suggested illustrative sentence is, “The behdy of the cehr is pehnted a breht blehck.” Certain popular English players over here, and certain Americans who have cleverly imitated them, seem to be convinced of the beauty of this stenographic sort of speech and are doing what they can to popularize it. If it gets into the talkies and is liked by our Southerners and Middle Westerners, their speech is going to sound as if it had been gone over with a safety razor. pecan ALE MAN AND HIS COSMETICS (Duluth Herald) good deal about the money and time they spend prettyfying themselves with cosmetics, though this humor usually is ill-timed and badly placed.

The doctor who sug- gests a mysterious treatment or a difficult operation is often regarded with reverence and awe, but the doc- tor who suggests perfectly simple rem- edies, as sunshine, diet and exercise, usually receives but little attention. Perhaps this is one reason why very few physicians prescribe the “move- ment” cure. It may be that physicians think it beneath their dig- nity to advise such a simple remedy. A sufficient amount of exercise is undoubtedly of great value in pro- moting health and prolonging life. It does not mean it is necessary to be an athlete, with bulging muscles, but rather the type of development of muscles should be desired which has the ability and strength, but give us @ mental poise and control as well. Contrary to popular belief, actual investigation has proven that the brightest children and adults, other conditions being equal, are t! with sound, healthy physical bodies. \ The genius with a deformed body is the exception rather than the rule, but it is especially noticeable because of the oddity of this combination. Well developed muscles, especially of the abdomen and back, hold the body in a healthful posture, and as- sist in maintaining position of the in- ternal abdominal organs. Weak mus- cles invariably lead to sloughing, wrong postures, and prolapsus of the intestines and other internal organs. Vigorous muscular activity is also of value in stimulating and promoting circulation, and in this way undoubt- edly promotes an even distribution of blood so that the toxins will not ac- cumulate, but be eliminated readily. ‘The training of the voluntary mus- cles by daily exercise also transmits increased strength to the involuntary muscles of the vital internal organs. These important organs, forced to supply the large muscles of the body with an added amount of blood, in- crease in function because of the de- mand made upon the whole organism.

Are there any cures for an inflamed brain?” Answer: Inflammation or irrita- tion of the brain can certainly be cured if proper measures are taken in time. The semi-conscious feeling which you have before going to sleep is probably due to digestive disorders and because your stomach is upset from the evening meal. Ptomaine Po! Question: X. Y.
