(Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE DEAD MAN’S CHEST Unimportant news is sometimes rather startling. A brief news dispatch the other day announced that scientists of the Rockefeller Foundation, having com- pleted some sort of research at a desolate station in Labrador, are going to St. John’s, in the Virgin Islands, to start on a new tack. St. John’s Island, it appears, is in the heart of the old pirate country. It is isolated and peaceful. The place where the scientists will settle overlooks Sir Francis Drake sound, and across the water rises an insignificant island with the perfectly incredible name of—Dead Man's Chest! Names out of Treasure Island don’t belong on real maps. These Rockefeller scientists are sober chaps, given to serious work; why should they go to a place that we all supposed existed only in romantic literature? What can medical specialists do in the region where there were a Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest— Yo! Ho! and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest— Yo! Ho! and a bottle of rum! One would give a good deal to accompany this expedi- tion. Any man who read Treasure Island as a boy would, beyond doubt, rather see the islet named Dead Man's Chest than any of the world’s more famous sights. Piracy and tropic islands with a bloody, romantic history are not for us; to learn that we actually could (given the time and money) go to this island is an unsettling sort of surprise. Life has odd corners in it, though. When we were young we knew that the world was & bright and exciting place, with piracy only one of the attractions. Didn't we all plan to build a raft, float down the old river and make for the glamorous Caribbean, where we could live gory lives of ruthless slaughter amid blue waters, bluc skies and brilliant tropic jungles? Of course, as we grew older, we found we were fooled. Instead of becoming pirates we became wage-earners. we traded our chances in Caribbean dawns for sunlight that is strained through dusty city windows. The Dead Man's Chest became something less than a childhood memory. But we were wrong again. The Dead Man's Chest does exist. There are lucky men who are actually going there, to live amid waters where Drake and Morgan and Black- beard cruised, pitching their tents on the very beaches where these hardy ruffians careened their galleons. We weren't so far wrong as children, after all. -That’s a pretty good thought to hang on to. For it is usually the child that is right and the man that is wrong. The world can be just as glorious and breath- taking as the child supposes, if the man that the child grows into will only look about him. THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT Several years ago a group of American manufacturers, with products Russia needs, and American bankers, with THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE never a time when so much that was formerly unattain- able was in possession of so many persons. Hours of la- bor for most persons are shorter; leisure hours are more full of contentment and pleasure. But these facts are important only in their relation to life and living. Tdleness breeds most social diseases, so it is of the ut- most importance what one dots with himself after work- ing hours. The busy man is the most contented man, perhaps because he has the least time to think about 20) himself and worry about the imperfections of this life. While the commerce department's survey was economic rather than sociological, its soctological ramifications are patent. WHALING BY AIRPLANE It is almost shocking to read that a Norwegian com- pany has bought a flect of airplanes with which to hunt for whales in the Arctic. Whaling is an industry that is redolent of the past. To be sure, most whalers are steam-propelled vessels now, firing their harpoons from guns and towing their catch to factory-like establishments on land in order to reduce the blubber to oil; nevertheless, the business is a link with the past, and the modern whaleman is a descendant of the olfi-timer who went out in the famous ships of New Bedford and Nantucket. But now—the whalemen are taking to the air! The very idea of it Is incongruous. How the eyes of the old whalemen of a century ago would pop out if they could sce their profession being carried on from the sky! THE TOLL THE WINDS TAKE The United States of America, being a wide and broad country in which the winds have plenty of room to get up steam, pays an extremely high price for such meteor- ological disturbances as windstorms and tornadoes. According to figures compiled by the Travelers Insur- ance Co. of Hartford, Conn., tornadoes and windstorms in this country took nearly 2000 lives and caused property damage of approximately $50,000,000 in 1928. Oddly cnough, the worst damage was done by disturb- ances that are classed as high winds instead of tornadoes. Windstorms took 1860 lives and caused $35,000,000 worth of damage, the rest being due to the more dreaded, but apparently less dangerous, tornadoes. These dangers, apparently, are more or less inescap- able. No one so far has suggested any good tornado or wind preventive. BIG BUSINESS IN RUSSIA You might pay rather close attention to the news of the big commercial industrialists, if you're interested in the workings of the communistic experiment. The news uries with which to enjoy that greater leisure.

Heading the list, of course, is the fact that Ford is to establish a factory in Russia to produce 100,000 cars and trucks a year, and that Russia, pending completion of this plant, is to spend $30,000,000 on Ford cars in the meantime. Noteworthy also is the fact that American engincers will build Russian steel mills, bring her coal mines up to date and supervise the construction of a $100,000,000 hydroelectric plant, the largest in the world. These items indicate a number of things. Automobile factories, new steel mills and vast water power plants can be expected to modify communism considerably, before they get through. Having to swallow insults is hard on a man's di- gestion. Talk is cheap. That is why they call it the gift of gab. Martyr: The carefree girl who married “the life of the party.” Editorial Comment DR. WORK PREPARES TO STEP DOWN (Minneapolis Tribune) When Dr. Hubert Work resigns as chairman of the Re- publican national committee, next fall, it is probable that more than one of his party associates will accept the fact of his retirement in an extremely philosophical mood. Judging by the campaign results, Dr. Work has been an unqualified success as committee chairman, and, theoret- ically at least, his passing should be the occasion for con- siderable anguish in the Republican ranks.

Answer—Try giving him four feed- ings of milk a day, using eignt or ten ounces of milk at each feeding. At the second, third and fourth feedings give him a good-sized dish of minced spinach, carrots, string beans, sum- mer squash or celery. It is a goon plan to use also one of the vege- tables raw along with the cooked one. Epilepsy Question—H.

I have tried so mgny things without result, that I wish to know all these things at the start in order that I will understand all symptoms and not become discouraged, for I be- lieve your method is the right one.” Answer—There are always decidec changes after using the orange juice fast for epilepsy. Either the spell: disappear altogether, or they become temporarily worse. When the latter occurs it is an indication that there are certain definite conditions in the system which require treatment. Usually these causes are kinks or pro- lapsus of the intestines.

H. writes: “) have been following a fasting anc dieting regime to overcome my goitre I have lost considerable weight, and during the fasting period the goitre became much smaller, but since I have started to eat it seems to be get- ting larger again. I am worried about my loss in weight, and hesitate to fast again on account of that. What is your advice?” Answer—You should not worry about losing weight as long as you are trying to overcome your trouble with goitre, and it will perhaps be neces- sary for you to take another short fast. Be sure to adhere strictly to the diet between the fasting periods. The oltre going down at first was due tc the fasting regime. Its subsequent enlargement might have been caused by some dietetic indiscretion, uterine trouble or strain of the neck.
