Logan Payne Co. ie} NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) MERCANTILE U. S. ON SEA National pride is not the husky, crowing thing it used | to be. American shipping magnates are laying vast plans for building speedy new ocean liners to capture the cream of the transatlantic passenger trade—but the average American, no doubt, doesn't give a whoop whether they succeed or not. Since the time of the Civil war, we have not cared very much what happens on the ocean. Nevertheless, to a man who knows his American his- tory, and takes pride in the old traditions, there is some- thing unusually interesting in the plans of these ship- pers. Designs have been drawn for two mighty liners, which the United States Lines hope will give them predomi- nance in the transatlantic business. ‘These ships will be as large as the Leviathan, but will have slimmer lines and will be much faster. They will be able to cross the Atlantic in less time than any other commercial ships afloat, and they will cost upwards of $50,000,000 apiece. Building ships nowadays is not the same game it was 75 years ago. But the aim—speed—is the same. Ameri- can shipbuilders once were in a fair way to dominate the world’s shipping because of the amazing speed of the vessels they designed; now, after three-quarters of a century, it is fascinating to see them making the same at- tempt in the same way. ‘ But 75 years is a long time; and the contrast between the swift clippers that were launched just before the Civil ‘war and the enormous liners that are now being designed emphasizes the changes that the passage of that length of time has brought. The, old clippers, that could show their heels to any- thing afloat, were wooden vessels. They had extremely long and slender hulls. Carrying capacity, comfort, some- times even safety, were sacrificed to speed. For these clippers were cranky vessels. The man who had one in his charge had to be a real seaman. They could glide along closer to the wind than any other ships on the ocean—but let a flaw in the air catch them aback and they were apt as not to start sailing backwards! They were delicate instruments, beautiful as all precise and specialiced things are beautiful; and while they lasted they ruled the seas. Today's ships are also to be slim and speedy; but there the resemblance ceases. How are you to compare a 2000- ton clipper ship, leaning over beneath a cloud of white canvas, with a 60,000-ton steamship, knifing its way through the waves with a steel prow and following its course with a serene disregard of the wind? It cannot be done. The two vessels belong in different worlds, Yet the speedy liners now being designed are, neverthe- less, the lineal descendants of the “Flying Cloud” and “Sovereign of the Seas.” They are reviving the old tra- dition. Who that has an eye for the great sailors of our nation’s youth can help hoping that these new steamers will be successful? CHICAG CHEER UP We often hear the opinion expressed that this is a degenerate age and that this country particularly ts traveling to the canines. Obviously this is too despondent a judgment, and there is very little in present day conditions to justify it. In many respects, this is the best age the world has ever known, and while the rapid growth of population and the tremendous exploitation of our national resources have somewhat narrowed the field of individual initiative and its realization in America, it is still a country full of more opportunities, more blessedness, than ever before existed. Granting that there is much that is profoundly wrong and remetiiable in our civilization, there is every reason to believe that the promise of a republic of general jus- tice, well-being and content is being constantly more and more fulfilled. In a period when invention, enterprise, @gtivity and skill are working undreamed of miracles, it is impossible that the average of well-being should not be visibly increased. This is why we say that America still means opportunity. Of course this opportunity, unless ‘we are unworthy of it, must be improved, not alone in the accumulation of individual wealth, but to the promo- tion of the common welfare. Moral and intellectual America must become as eminent as material America, or we shall have wasted our opportunity, There is a lamentable tendency to make dimension, size, weight and speed the slogans of our country, but believe this is only a passing phase of American These things cannot compensate for ideals, for for true*greatness, and their obtrusiveness at the time should only serve to remind us that Price we have to pay for the good things we enjoy 4s constant watchfulness lest they be employed for harm- ful purposes—that it is not the splendor of material suc- cess but “character and ideals and spiritual elevation whieh make the excellency of a people, as of a man.” ‘We see no alarming signs of moral decay in our po- litical life. Most people take it for granted, because ‘Washington was a good and great man and because he _ ‘Was surrounded by a number of men of lofty ideals and’ Mnselfish patriotism, that the early days of the republic _ Were days of unsullied purity in public and private life. truth is that human nature was the same then as aga 1) | are theirs by right and to a large extent are considered | so by law. ture as there is for undue optimism. Human nature is the same today as it was during the Revolution, as it was in the time of Julius Caesar, as it was in the time of Pericles. Ages may modify it a little, superficially, in matters of taste, but the fundamentals are eternal. DUTY OF SOCIETY In the early history of this country—in fact, up to within two gencrations—parents appeared to feel a real responsibility for the discipline and conduct of their chil- | dren. Many modern parents seem to hold to the belief that the schools and society should take from them the | obligation of child training. Many children lack at home the discipline and training that is necessary for the building of stable character, and if they are not taught helpful precepts for their carly years by the schools and churches, they are léft to ac- quire the usually harmful knowledge that is picked up on the streets. ‘Today, the responsibility for the training of the youth | seems to have been placed upon society, thereby making it possible for many parents to escape the obligations that Organized society has made it possible for many parents to evade their duties in raising their children. ‘The weakest government ts usually the one which has | assumed a paternalistic attitude towards its people. Look- | ing to the government and the smaller units of society ! for help has always had the effect of breaking down the morale of the individual, for many persons are not will- ing to acquire by their own cffort what they can secure for nothing. Society is trying to improve its methods of educating and caring for its individuals, but it is not responsible for | the minds and the emotions put into them by nature. It voluntarily does its share, but if the individuals get into trouble society has not neglected its duty. PLACING THE BLAME One of the popular activities of the times, if not of all time, is that of placing responsibility on others. Some- times it can be accomplished with a degree of success, but in other attempts they only turn out:to be ridiculous. Public opinion may not always decide correctly, but it is known to determine definitely. It is not consistent on the part of adults to complain if boys and girls imitate them, or even inaugurate some ideas of their own in the matter of apparel and con- duct. Instruction which is not backed up by example is not likely to prove very effective in the matter of be- havior and morals. Someone has said that if you want to get the best re- sults in character for a child you must begin with his grandparents. This principle, if it ever had a place, must still obtain, for human nature is very much the same from one generation to another. What is the use? Pos- terity will come along and do about as it pleases anyhow. SMALL ENVY It is written that on a certain occasion Aristides of Athens was approached by an illiterate citizen with the request that the great Athenian write his name on a shell to be cast for the banishment of Aristides and that, after complying with the request, he asked the illiterate the reason for his vote—to which the latter replied that he was tired of hearing Aristides called the Just. The spirit and temper of the Athenian illiterate has too long been permitted to survive and is too much alive teday. There is in this as well as other lands too much of the pettiness that sharpens its ax for those called just merely because they are so called. No man would admit hate of virtue. But many, too many, unreason- ingly develop hostility against those whose records es- } tablish claim to high recognition, Preeminence in serv- ice to the public, to the city, to the community is at risk of enmity of those who, like the “little” Athenian, would vote banishment of greatness and virtue. Old-fashioned schools were unfair. Even the boy with a good batting eye had to pass the exams. It isn’t what you think about as much as what you think about what you think about. As often as one gets something for nothing one gets nothing for something. Editorial Comment THIS BOY WAS PREPARED ‘ (Duluth Herald) Believe it or not, all the fairy godmothers haven't been permanently retired to the story-books yet. A lot of them are still running around making folks happy even in this matter-of-fact, machine-driven age. Corporal Frank J. Hofelich, a twenty-year-old mem- ber of the New York National Guard, can prove it for you if you have any doubts. He was walking along a road near his regiment's camp at Peekskill about a year ago when he saw an elderly man with a wounded hand. A young man, the elder's chauffeur, was excitedly pouring water on the wound. “A rattlesnake bit him.” he explained to the soldier—and the latter got into action. With a knife he slashed the wound and with his own lips sucked the blood containing the deadly poison. After a few simple first-aid applica- tions he left, explaining the hand would be all right until THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1929 Officer, Do Your Duty! | SAY, WHY DO You ALWAYS PICK ON ME? GWE HIM A TicKkeT, Too! “I had to quit school at 15 and help Ma. The other boys would never lend a hand.” That's what Kenney Cooper of Twin Creek, down on the Kentucky border of Ohio, told the court when sentenced to prison for from two to twenty years for shooting his brother, Ed. And Ed had gone on a few days before for an even longer term for trying to kill Kenney. Thus ends the Twin Creek family feud which has been going for many years. Kenney continues his story—“the other boys got married and left home and somcone had to support Ma. That was me and the rest got mad when sometimes I asked ’em to do, something, too.” ; * . NOTHING NEW While few are the families which wage an old-time rarin’ family hill- billy shootin’ feud for years, few,! too, are the families which do not{ wrangle in about the same manner j over this matter of parents’ support. ! And the idea of Kenney Cooper's | married brothers that, by the mere; act of establishing homes of their! own, they lost all responsibility to! their parents, and that this job was | up to the unmarried one, even if by that responsibility he, in turn, could! never establish his own home, is! quite the universal idea. One canj{ almost understand why Kenney took up fire-arms. “ oe PAPA PAYS Six rather unladylike Albanian ladies poured scalding oil on the heads of a church congregation which dared sing mass in Albanian| instead of Greek. { Now here’s the funny part of the tale. The six husbands of the six bania wives can not be prosecuted. The theory probably is that a wife is only the mouthpiece of her hus-' band, and her actions only what he; favors or commands. And, silly as it all seems, at that! it seems fairer than the laws of many countries which, while deny- ing a wife the right to vote or hold office or control her own money or children or say where and how the; family shall live, still find it per-| fectly consistent to sue her on the same basis as a man. "ee BRITISH WOMEN The appointment of a woman to the British Labor cabinet reminds us once more that despite our pride and self-assurance, continental wom- en rather have the edge on us when it comes to participation in public affairs. It’s the old story of time counting. British women have had a voice in public affairs longer than us and are just that much ahead. Our own woman in the cabinet is as sure as Christmas—eventually—not because she is a woman, but because some women will be developed through public life who will have the very assets as an individual needed for the job.

A LEASEHOLD (By Alice Judson Peale) There are some parents—especially mothers—who literally live for their children and through them.

The other day he was trying to figure out the problem of how to marry the sweetest little girl in the world on his wages, and both be happy, when a letter reached him. It was from a New York lawyer, telling him that the old man he had helped had died and, believing that his prompt aid had saved his life, had left young Hofelich twenty thousand dol- lars. The only condition attached was that the money was not to be paid until the day he married. There are several morals to this true story, but the young man who stars as the hero is too busy to figure them out. He is getting married during the next week or So, and all his time is taken up in planning his new home.

Three- fourths of all cases occur in women, and most frequently after thirty years of age. It has been estimated that twenty-five per cent of all women over sixty years of age have gall- stones. Overeating and improper ¢limination are undoubtedly import- ant causes. The gall bladder acts as a storage vessel to hold the bile formed by the ie until edie ety a Ratet should arged by the gal bladder. Naturally, when there is a sluggish condition, or when the bile becomes thickened, it is more likely that the stones will form. Sometimes the gall-stones are single, but they — size. There are two principal types of Gall-stones, one which consists of more cholestral bile pigment and the other consisting principally of lime and magnesium salts, ‘The gall bladder seems to be able to hold some of these stones without special 53 other than attacks of inflammation and a slight yellow- ness of the skin. The patients never appear perfectly healthy, however, and usually have a feeling of fullness or oppression in the stomach or right side.

They often believe that something they hg just eaten causes the attack of Many cases of urticaria or nettle rash, accompanied by indigestion, are Teally caused by gall-stones. The patients sometimes recover from an attack after a few days and do not notice more symptoms for several months until another attack occ! urs, It is possible, of course, in passing gall-stones, for ulceration or perfora- tion into the peritoneum to occur which may be very perhaps produce death. During an at- tack, the patient often rolls about in agony, vomiting and sweating pro- fusely. There is generally a marked tenderness in the region of the liver, and the gall bladder may become so enlarged as to be felt. Jaundice us- jally occurs, but not always. It is possible for the gall bladder to become so greatly thought a tumor. An X-ray study is of value, but the stones made of cholestral do not show in the X-ray plates. It is sometimes difficult to determine whether the attack is caused by catarrh or stones. As a general rule, these conditions can be cleared up without an operation, but there are a few cases where the stones : GARFIELD SHOT On July 2, 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot and fatally wound- ed by Charles J. Guiteau, a man whose vanity had been offended by the refusal of an office and whose unbalanced brain had been excited by dissension in the Republican party. ‘The crime, which took place in the railway station at Washington, ex- cited the horror and execration of all Parties alike; and foreign nations Joined in the universal sorrow and in- dignation.

With a series of X-ray pictures, it is sometimes pos- sible to observe the gall-stones dis- solving while still in the gall blad- der. This is probably because the bile becomes thinner and more solvent under a fasting regime. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question—S. P. writes: “My boy has Ludwig’s angina. What do you ad- vise for this condition?” Answer—Your son’s condition is too serious for me to advise you about a treatment through this column, but. @s you did not send your name and address I cannot reach you in any other way. Most of these cases are curable, and the most rapid results take place under a fasting treatment. The best way is to take the orange fast in the way I recommend it so Tauch in this column. Tubers Question—Mrs. R. I. L. writes: “In taking up an ornamental grapevine, I found many large tubers, some of them weighing as much as four Pounds, the inside of them looking very much like the meat of coconuts. hee like to inquire if they are ed- le.” have no way of knowing the name ofthe tubers you write about. I would advise you to take them to a seed man or nursery man who will no doubt be able to tell you what they are, and whether or not they are ed- ible. Reducing Blood Question—L. E. asks: Pressure , “What is the and physiological and chemical reaction on the system when taking orange juice for the reduction of blood pres- sure? Two days after the commence- ment of a five-day fast a well marked reduction is noticeable.” Answer—The most effective means of restoring the blood pressure to normal is through fasting and diet- ing. The quantity of blood is de- and its quality improved. Those with tense nerves relax more easily and where calcification of the arteries exists, a marked change takes place in the loss of some of this cal- cium. This makes the arteries more elastic and in this way lessens the blood pressure.
