(Official City, State ané Coun’y Newspaper) ee THE COMMUNITY’S TRIUMPH ‘The sweeping victory for the memorial community build- ing won in the referendum election is evidence that the heart of Bismarck beats right and its mind reasons clearly on questions affecting its present and future wel- fare—especially the welfare today would bequeath to tomorrow, the present generations hand down to the suc- ceeding. It shows that Bismarck is set for greater things, that it no longer is content to tolerate neglected opportunities, that it is in the cooperative mood by which alone the community:can go forward in progress unitedly. Conceivably this is but the beginning of realizing all those splendid projects whith are the community pro- gram, partly embodied in the schedule of civic purposes by which the Association of Commerce annually guides its activities. These aim at making Bismarck more attractive and potent at home; at making it influential in the affairs and growth of the Slope country; in increasing its prestige in its role of state capital. These are both duties and privileges. The city has voted to go forward and ‘what it has assented to doing now is an impulse that will gather momentum and carry it on to the achievement of other necessary undertakings. The community building will be the gateway to the greater future which those with vision foresee and for which they have so overwhelmingly rallied their fellow citizens in this election and bond issue. The victory is not one of numbers—it is a triumph of spirit. Progressiveness has prevailed against timorous- ness. No chance here to create a funny Scotch story. The element of tightness was too small. Even many of the opponents of the bond issue conceded the need of a community building, objecting only to the method of financing it and the time of undertaking. That makes the election almost unanimous, considering the small vote in opposition. Who gets the credit? For the actual labor of cam- paigning and getting out the vote, the American Legion. For the inspiration, the Association of Commerce. For the enthusiasm and solid backing, the service clubs. And a host of men and women animated by noble loyalty and high civic motives as citizens and taxpayers. AS Admiral Schley said at Santiago, “there is glory enough to go around” for all these. The front line trenches of Bismarck’s future have been taken. It is now for all to join together and take the second line by erecting the community building and mak- ing of it the great means of progress and growth it was predicted in the campaign it would become in the history of Bismarck. CAPONE, LIKE BARKUS, “WILLIN” Al Capone, suspected of being so willing to enter prison that his melodramatic sentencing at Phjladelphia was merely a bluff to cover the real fact of the case and that he was actually courting the law's penalty as a means of protection from rival gangsters, lends additional color to the suspicion by discouraging his family from trying to obtain his release. When his wife, mother and sister visited him in Moyamensing jail Tuesday. he disapproved of any move- ment looking to his discharge at the present time. Now there could be no virtue in such discouragement: except that Capone needs the protection of the jail and Prefers not to risk his life by forsaking it. With Chicago gangland coritinuing to pop off lesser henchmen of the rival racketeering organizations, it is conceivable that the scarfaced person who ruled as leading potentate of the lake city’s lawless gunmen may feel his own skin scarcely safe outside his prison refuge. The nation which was dazed by this swarthy Sicilian’s theatrical sentencing to a year in Moyamensing jail may now emerge from its coma and cease trying to figure what it all means. Capone, traveling through the east “on business,” paused in Philadelphia long enough to attend a movie. As he came out of the theater a detective halted him, found a pistol in his pocket and took him to jail. Less than 24 hours later Capone had been indicted, brought to trial and sentenced to a year’s imprisonment; and before the day was out he was beginning his sen- tence. . It all looks very pretty, on the surface. But in Chicago it is reported that Al Capone was the most willing prison- er the Pennsylvania penitentiary ever sheltered. He ‘himself, it is said, planned his own arrest. Things had been breaking badly for him. His Chicago principality was getting unduly turbulent. He had oppressive debts, besides, certain resolute men were only waiting for a sight of him to shoot him dead. So, according to the story, Capone decided that the safest of all places for him, everything considered, was the prison; and to prison he went, jauntily and undis- For something like eight years, unless all men have Ned about him, Capone has been the country's leading candidate for imprisonment. If one-tenth of the under- world lore about him in Chicago is true, he is and has ‘been the nation’s most dangerous criminal. Yet no prison ever opened its doors to him—until, finally, he went there crimes of which it knows them to be guilty, it can at least put them in jail for a year or so at a time—which, after all, is something. Whether Capone went to prison voluntarily or not, the incident has provided a valuable object lesson. Gang- sters can be jailed, easily, if the police are half-way in earnest, about their work. Chicago's citizens might well ponder deeply over the affair. WHERE OPPORTUNITY BECKONS Some people are forever complaining that none of the big or little opportunities come their wey. They hear of ® neighbor who gct a real barrain in a uscd automobile and wonder why his chance had nct been theirs. And when a neighbor shows them a bit cf furniture or other household article he had picked up for a fraction cf its real worth they egain wonder why others are favored over them. Thus they carry on tho‘r lamentations and self-sympathy throughout the whele cata!cg of human wants and possessions. Paradoxical though it seems, these men and women who covet the opporiunities offered to and graspcd by others could find the secret of the other fellow’s fortune i. the newspaper read by them both. is the classified adver h s the golden opportunities are “want ad” page is the mecca for those who bh: opportunities to offer and for those who wicely hunt their “acres of Giamonds” at home. If the store with its show windows, glass cases, cout ers and open doors can not do business withcut ncws- paper advertisements, how can the seller and buyer of the used article expect to “do business” without advertising? The “want ad” or classified advertisement is the show window and counter for the privaic citizen who has something to sell or wants to buy something the other citizen has. PETTY About a year ago, the Oklahoma motor license bureau, probably innocently and sincerely enough, ruled that traveling salesmen from other states must have Okla- homa license plates on their cars upon entering that state. The state has come to regrct that act, for it was the spark which started an interstate war which has increased in intensity up to the present and shows no signs of abating. Kansas, the state most affected by the regulation, retaliated by enacting a similar law directed against her neighbor. Then followed a race in which each com- monwealth tried to outdo the other in declaring various types of motor vehicles commercial cars. Bad feeling has been engendered and business seriously interfered with. Child's play of this sort should not be tolerated. It is to the credit of the governors of the two states that they have registered disapproval, and it is to the dis- credit of the legislatures and motor license bureaus that they have not brought an end to the disgraceful hair- pulling. How can great commonwealths be so petty? For the sake of a few dollars in license fees Kansas and Oklahoma are barring at their borders business worth vastly more to them. They have allowed ancient rivalry and near-sighted provincialism, which they un- deservedly glorify by calling it patriotism, to lead them into cutting off their noses to spite their faces. BIG BUSINESS IN ’PLANES “One Man Sold 51 Planes Last Year.” There is a magazine title to fascinate the eye alive to the times in which we live. It opens a new chapter that airplanes will never be sold like automobiles. Selling in one year 51 automobiles in the same price field as airplanes would be a feat for the world's best motor car salesman, and yet an airplane salesman sold that many of his ships in a twelvemonth. Airplane prices begin at about $3,000 and end at the “sky.” If the sales- man’s sales averaged $7,500 and his commission was 10 per cent, his gross was $382,500 and his net $38,250. If motor car salesmen stay in the automobile business, it will be because they prefer to do their demonstrating on the ground. The era of practical business development has super- seded the era of the showman in the story of the air. ‘The modern airman is a business man, not a romantic adventurer. He is selling his machine, not his own dar- ing and skill. And that is the greatest thing that has ever happened to aviation. One of the May magazines printed 21 pages of air- plane advertising compared with two for automobiles. Airplane advertising is becoming as common and as much read as automobile advertising, a fact that is not without great significance. THE FREEDOM OF THE PORT Despite the fact that a New York grand jury con- demned as “un-American” the habit of granting “free- dom of the port” to members of congress who return to the United States after trips to foreign countries, it is announced at Washington that the Treasury Depart- ment will continue the practice. The freedom of the port, as you no doubt know, per- mits the recipient to bring his baggage in unexamined by customs men. It is a graceful compliment for a nation to extend to a distinguished visitor; but just why @ congressman coming back from foreign parts should be accorded the privilege is hard to understand—particularly in view of the public hunch that not every congress- man’s luggage is as dry as it might be. 4n efficiency expert is a chap who doesn't have a bus- iness of his own to wreck. A village is a place where the chap with a fresh shine on Monday is a traveling man. | Editorial Comment | GOVERNMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT (Duluth Herald) Representative Pittenger of Duluth has introduced a resolution in the house providing for an investigation of unemployment by the department of commerce and the department of labor, and for the collection of unemploy- ‘ment information by the census bureau when it takes the census. ‘This move is at least in the right direction. ‘The government ought to know at all times all as- certainable facts about employment. It is not enough to employment, and vith that there should be a plan of relieving unemployment in one section by diverting its surplus labor to some other section where there is plenty And, still more, to be what it ought to govern- ment’s-plan of handling te ie in the history of salesmanship and smashes the myth | Birds of a Dif Che iDAY... They say that Mr. and Mrs. Mae Merritt would be living together hap- pily today if they hadn't started playipg bridge on their honeymoon. The bridge game was in session at the madame’s mother's home. Wife bid low and something or other seemed to say that she should have bid high. Anyway, husband got mad and threw his cards all over the room. A divorce soon followed. Every once in a while a squib in the daily press tells us that some domestic or other tragedy has happened be- cause of the radio or bridge or the automobile or player piano or over- stuffed furniture or some other phe- | nomenon of this, our modern world. vee NOT RADIO ONLY While perhaps it is true that the complexity of a modern world with too many things in it has something to do with the universal human pyo- pensity of “flying off the handle,” it is very sure that a man who would “fly off the handle” because his wife was a dub a* cards would “fly off” at some other grievance. And the wom- an who leaves home because her hus- band insists on playing the radio all the time would leave for any one of a million other causes. | FIRST LOVE Here's the former wife of Paul Ber- lenbach, the man of the ring, trying to annul her second marriage to one Robinson so that she can remarry the pug who gav> her $100,000 when they were divorced. Not so queer a stozy, either. She isn’t the first human being to find herself uttei‘y incapable of extricating herself from her first love. eee TWOFOLD PERSONS Alma Rubens, former beautiful screen star, has been placed in a state insane hospital following her second succumbing to drugs. Remem- bering the lovely exotic Alma in “The Four Horsemen,” unless I'm mistaken, it seems impossible to reconcile this person with the recent pictures of the hollow-eyed, cadaverous Alma. Far more stupefying than our oc- casionally glimpsed contrast of vari- ous peoples in this world is the con- | trast of what the same person can be- come. eee “CIVILIZED DIVORCE” Most clear-thinking people who speak their minds in print are taking a wallop these days at the legal in- sistence that divorce is impossible un- less one party has suffered specific injury from the other. Dorothy Dun- bar Bromley writes as follows on the subject of “Civilized Divorce” in “The Nation"— “There is prebably no more striking example of that hypocrisy in govern- ment which has come to be one of our chief national characteristies than our divorce laws. As unenforc- able as the Eighteenth amendment, they remain on the statute books of the several states as a sop to respect- ability, a pretense that marriage is in- dissoluble unless one of the parties is guilty of adultery, cruelty, desertion, drunkenness, or neglect. These grounds vary in different parts of the country, but the general rule holds good that one party must have com- mitted a specific injury against the other without the latter's connivance. Indeed, ‘an agreement between mar- ried people that one shall bring an action for divorce and the other fail ;to defend it,’ and especially upon a ground that it is not a real one, Is held a collusion to defraud the courts.” eee BOOTLEG AGAIN She proceeds to remind us of per- jury and fraud as practiced and ac- cepted by judges the country over. She reminds us that Judge Harry A. Lewis of Chicago has said that 50 to 60 per cent of all decrees are ob- tained there on the fraudulent grounds of cruelty—‘while as a matter patibility, which had become so un- bearable that the wife would perjure herself in order to get relicf.’ “Nor do the judg:s appear to be shocked by the prevalence of perjury. The fact is that an increasing num- ber of judges are cutting short cor- ners and are simply granting divorce where they think divorce is due.” Just another symptom of human hypocrisy!

Talks To #9, di; Parents FREE TIME (By Alice Judson Peale) Although your child needs things to do, he needs also, sometimes, to do nothing in particular. He needs time in which to lie in a hammock, look at the sky, dream over a book. All through the fall and winter and spring he rises betimes, dispatches his breakfast with an eye on the clock, and rushes off to school. Released from the class room, he fills in the ‘remnant of his day with hectic play. The indoor sociability of winter eve- nings is gay with the give and take of conversation and laughter. When does he find time to think quiet thoughts, to toaf and invite his soul? Summer is coming. We scatter under the sky and there are idle hours—idle hours in which your child may taste moods of passive living and serenity. Of course, you want your child to spend an active, fruitful summer. But in your effort to see that he en- Joys himself, do not wedge his sched- ule so full of appointments and oc- cupations that there is no hour of the day left free. | It is not necessary that he should be doing something obviously useful }and worthwhile during all his waking hours, Do not feel that there is something wrong if, like the Maine guide, he sometimes “jest sets and thinks,” or even “jest sets.” When a child lies under the trees, with arms locked under his head, apparently doing nothing but watching lazy summer Iclouds, he is not necessarily wasting his time. He is perhaps weaving fantasies which are the genesis of action, dreaming dreams which he will try to make come true. He is perhaps wondering about the wonders of the earth in a way which is the unique Prerogative of the human race, PEACEFUL COUNTY London.—Rutland county has prob- ably one of the smallest police forces serving a same number of people in the world.

They were probably among the first animal foods to be eaten by primitive man. Oysters and small clams are readily digestible when raw, even though the flesh. is swallowed whole. When cooked they are a little more difficult to digest and should be well chewed. Oysters contain 86.8 water, 6.5 pro- tein, 1.2 fat, and 3.5 of mineral mat- ter, being especially rich in chlorin, sulphur, phosphorus, and sodium. Clams are almost of the same com- position but contain a little less pro- tein, fat and carbohydrates, but more of the mineral matter. Both of these are highly acid-form- ing and should, therefore, be used with a large quantity of the non- starchy vegetables to provide an alka- line balance. While the smaller clams may be served raw, as oysters are, the larger ones are more tasteful broiled, fried, steamed, baked, or stewed. The best flavor probably comes out in clam chowder or upon roasting over coals. Neither of these two are very rich in nourishment, although they make @ pleasant addition to the menu. It has been stated that over a dozen oysters are required te produce an equal food value to one egg. Many people believe that oysters should be eaten only during the months in which “R” occurs, in order to avoid the spawning season, but, while this is true of the northeast and New York oysters, it is not true of Chesapeake Bay, the greatest oyster source. In southern waters the spawning season mey occur at any time of the year. Canned oysters are as wholesome as the fresh, and may be obtained at any season. Oysters may be shipped alive in good condition for several days. There is, of course, more dan- ger of the oyster becoming decom- posed during the warm weather, but careful packing in refrigerated cars would prevent this. At one time it was the practice to raise oysters in beds where city sew- age was dumped and this resulted in @ number of cases of contamination and typhoid. This danger hardly exists at the present time, as the gov- ernment exercises a careful supervi- sion over the beds and harvesting of the oyster. . The best portion of clams and oys- ters is the muscular tissue. Because these shellfish are scavengers, all of the stomach and intestinal portions should be discarded. Their stomach may contain an accumulation of rot- ting protein material which they have sucked up from the ocean bed. We occasionally may read of a case of acute poisoning because of this, AM EB BD ADAMS, THE DIPLOMAT On June 1, 1785, just 144 years ago today, John Adams, America’s first ambassador to Great Britain, was for- mally presented to King George IV. ‘The ambassador came as a reward for the diplomatic negotiations Adams had carried on in Holland. As a re- sult of them, Holland recognized the independence of the United States and extended a much-needed loan to the new republic. Because of the unfriendly relation- ship between Great Britain and Amer- ica, Adams found his diplomatic post irksome and he sent several urgent requests that he be removed. Three years after his appointment: his request was granted and in 1788 he returned to America, His career in England inade him a sympathizer with that country’s views on Amer- ican matters to the extent that after his return he quarreled with the friends of France, led by Thomas Jef- ferson. His views had a great effect upon early American politics. He lent his popular strength to the Federalists, the party of which Alexander Ham- ilton was the founder, and against the party of Jefferson. t Our Yesterdays j FORTY YEARS AGO Mrs. C. W.
