CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) GENERAL HUGHES AND MEMORIALS The unveiling of the life-size bust of General Alexander Hughes in the Liberty Memorial building “**~ ‘ besides honoring the memory of a pioncer in the creation and development of North Dakota, was a conformity to one of the oldest impulses of humankind. Men always have been animated with the desire to perpetuate the heroic measure of their leaders and ot their races in enduring tablets or shafts or sculptured figures, in stone or metal. Grecce and Rome were filled with these. Archaeologists now dig up examples of still elder memorials of this kind from the buried cities of the Mesopotamian cradle land of civilization. Even the jungles of India yield up massive monuments to past eras and leaders from the recesses of their tangled trop- ical vegetation. America has become preeminently a land of monu- ments to its historical figures and achievements, to its geniuses cf culture and science, to its economic and in- dustrial development. Nation, states and towns have multipiled the teeming memorials of these things that are worth the while to keep alive in the form of memories for their own gencrations and as traditions to animate the future generations of the race. These go back to the era of the Indian, of the Revolution and down through the successive epochs whether in wars or in the achievements of peace. A symbol of the impulse egrcets the visitor at the very portal of the country, where Bartholdi’s gigantic statue of Liberty Enlightening the World blazes welcome from its torch to the returning American and the incoming alien secking a home and citizenship in the New World. Bismarck has not expressed this impulse as generally as have other cities, but it is coming to it. The statue of Sakakawea on the capitol grounds is one of its evidences. ‘The rich historical lore in which the state abounds will sooner or later take the form of memorials in statues and tablets and shafts. The bust of General Hughes is cuch an example. The Pionecrs who are behind the gift have plans for many other such memorials. The nation’s need for such memorials finds its source not in vainglory nor even in the mere memory of the heroic dead, the passed genius or the perspective of an event gone and garnered to history. For in the last an- alysis, we put those things on pedestals, not for the sake of the dead men whose deeds we are commemorating, but for ourselves. It is as if we were striving to catch, in sculptured marble and graven bronze, some essence of @ bygone greatness so that we could preserve it forever and not let the earth lose it. Take our great battlefictis as an illustration of the motive for setting up these memo ;—Gettysburg, which leads them all in enduring commemoration of the titanic struggle there in July, 1863, with its rocky hillsides and rich rolling farmlands studded with statues and shrines to the men who fought there and to the causes for which they died those three hot days of 1863. In a great many ways, Gettysburg is a good thing to forget. It is an enduring reminder of the fact that there Was nowhere in the land cnough sanity and fortearance to find a peaceable solution to men's differences. Yet, since Gettysburg, and the things that went before and after it, had to be, there are things about Gettysburg, as about any great battlefield, that it is good for us to re- member. Something like 140,000 men came together at Gettys- burg—came from all parts of the sprawling, growing country. And for three dreadful days they proved a thing which has been proved on every battlefield in his- tory, but which can neYer be proved too often; that there 4s something in man that can rise supreme over fear and pain and death—an imperishable, unconquerable some- thing that can never be choked out by stupidity or tramped down by soft living, but that endures forever as @ living proof that the race has in it a deep streak of great nobility. Let no man think that these memorials, at Gettysburg and elsewhere, are things that glorify war. They are not. War is a fearful curse, now as always. But the lurid light that war casts on the acts of men throws into strong re- lef the bravery and self-forgetfulness and kingly valor that lift mankind above the level of the beasts. Gettysburg is a peaceful place now. The bronze gen- erals and marble soldiers have the place to themselves, drowsing in the Pennsylvania sun beside the brass can- non that will never fire another shot. As long as the nation lasts they will stand there, reminding Americans that death is a small thing—that here, years ago, men came to grips with destiny, looked destruction in the eye ‘without quailing, and scaled the last fire-ringed heights of endurance. And the bust of General Hughes here has its value in glorifying one who wrought in peace, in the creation of a commonwealth which is one of the 48 states of the union. | plague spots which r| peril in organized evil is to bo “forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air,” and to jeopardize the hard- won acnicvements in the long fight for freedom and jus- tice. morbid cynic, most of us prefer to act on the conclusions of the latter, though we would rather “winter” with the former. As medicine, optimism is the more palatable to the taste, cynicism is a nasty dose, but more likely to prove efficacious, To look the world squarely in the facc, secing things as they are and taking into account both good and evil is not easy. No portion of the world is wholly good or wholly bad. Everywhere society 1s an admixture with right dominant in some portions and wrong cnthroned in others, A “spotty” world is not a safe world, and cach generation is flung a challenge to rid society of the threaten its destruction. Every mother’s son of us is born when the times are out of joint and born to set them right. It is both a single- handed fight and a mass movement.

HUMAN FACTOR IN FLYING The general public is only too willing to be convinced that the airplane ts a relatively safe mode of travel, but it seems that each time the point of conversion is reached some disaster or series of disasters of the air occurs to undo all the work that has been done. Considering the large number of planes in the air and the miles flown, the accident rate for planes is prob- ably little higher, if any, than that among motorists and pedestrians, It is the publicity and public interest given the novelty that magnifies the air accident rate. Public confidence in the safety of aircraft has reached that point, however, where~responsibllity for accidents is placed on the pilot oftener than on the plane. In other words, the laity places greater trust in the plane, at its present stage of development, than in the pilot. A significant fact in this connection is the rarity of ac- cidents in the transport and mail service. The planes are no better but the pilots are. In oiher fields of aviation there are too many accidents attributable to inexpertness, recklessness and carelessness of pilots. One magnificently successful flight such as Lindbergh's transatlantic hop may advance aviation, but that gain and more is lost by the loss of another transoceanic ship. Endurance and other record-making and record-breaking flights probably prove more of aviation's shortcomings than its accomplishments and possibilities. AVIATION’S LABORATORY The average newspaper reader can be pardoned if he is unable to keep track of the various airplane endurance flights now being attempted or contemplated. In all parts of the country, airmen are trying to break an old record; if a new one is set, there is no guarantee that it will last longer than a week. At first glance these endeavors may look rather use- less, except in so far as they win fame and fortune for the individual flyers. But they are not “stunts,” val- uable only as spectacles. The men who are taking part in them are advancing the cause of aviation. Each flight of that kind sheds some new light on the business of flying. These flights are, so to speak, avia- tion’s laboratory experiments. Spectacular though they are, they are nevertheless helping aviation to advance, Size isn't everything. The larger the collar, the sooner it wilts. Editorial Comment EXECUTIONS IN RUSSIA (Manchester, England, Guardian) The Russian government has formally abolished the death penalty several times, but the abolition is a sham, apparently calculated to impress the world, for executions go on in Russia just as though they had never been abol- ished at all. In 1927 twenty inmates of a Moscow prison, including the humane, enlightened, and progressive Prince Dolgorukoff, were taken out and shot for no rea- son except to create the impression that the Communist dictatorship was very stern ard mighty. Last year several engineers were shot for alleged participation in an al- leged counter revolutionary conspiracy. But they at least had a public trial, although the authorities did everything to influence public opinion against them and to secure a verdict of guilty. But now three engineers have been sentenced to death without judicial procedure and merely by a decision of the political police—the notorious G. P. U. The sentence was carried out almost immediately. The charge was one of conspiring to overthrow the Com- munist dictatorship and to restore the capitalist system in Russia. Whether there is any truth in it no one can tell. There is no evidence available to show there is. MAKING RADIO COMPULSORY (Columbus Dispatch) The eighteen signatories to the new maritime safety regulations drawn up at the maritime conference in Lon- don are agreed that all ships engaging in international voyages, except cargo vessels under 1,600 tons, should be required to carry wireless apparatus of standard efficiency and to employ a qualified wireless operator. If they ob- tain the ratification of their governments, the new code will contain this mandatory provision. Of all the provisions for safety at sea, the radio un- doubtedly is among the first in importance. While some nations already have compelled wireless equipment on certain types of ships of their registry, nearly every sea disaster serves to emphasize that the practice is aston- ishingly far from universal. It is difficult to understand why the conference would exempt any vessels making international voyages. It will be remembered that in the Vestris disaster last Novem- ber a small cargo ship was within striking distance of the doomed vessel, but, of course, was unaware of its plight because it had no radio. It is entirely possible that many lives would have been saved if this ship could have been reached. With the great increase in sea travel, governments should not hesitate to approve all sensible safety regula- tions as a duty to their citizenry. Compulsory wireless equipment on all ocean-going craft would be a step in the right direction. NOW FOR STABILIZATION OF COAL (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) With a government board authorized for stabilization of the farming industry and extension of its market, it is at least timely that the bituminous coal producers He was a valuable citizen of North Dakota, and it is ‘wise to commemorate the deeds of all these makers of the state and of the nation to which even their labors in be- half of their home commonwealth contributed enduring substance.

She reminds us that such a thing as personal culture has quite gone by the boards. That the woman who once upon a time might have used her time to know all there was to know about pottery or laces or cathedrals or birds or botany or carly Anglo-Saxon verse qualities of being remunerative and talent and capability within her.

First of all, there is her old orig inal argument for going to work at all—namely, the interest of it, house work was boring, the necessity of giving the world any latent gifts, etc., ete. She may remind herself that she assumed more work because she want- e! more money; and now after months or years of it she takes stock and asks “What price work outside the home?” She may look with envy upon her home-staying neighbor who, true, has times, feel that she isn’t “doing all that I could do,” but who has time for such things as a try-out of that new recipe for nut macaroons, or to make & rose jar; who can go to the sorority luncheon in a pretty flowered after- noon frock, and not have to dash from the office in blue twill; who can breeze off on a hot afternoon to the beach with a cold supper in the picnic basket; who can use that new em- broidery stitch on a new luncheon set; Blame It on the Sun Spots! eSun Spots! | is now concerned only with getting ; and keeping a job which combined the ; also permitting her expression of the | who stay at home, instead of giving! thing which interests them, spend all, Occasionally, she reminds us, some | | who can settle down to an afternoon's session with a new book, or dash out jto the college club group of lectures. * Oe OK TOO “FEMALISH” To be sure, most of these mentioned diversions are too purely “femalish” | for the woman who has insisted on | scope for her own talents.

The authoress says that conversa- | tion suffers because women no longer {have time to read and study, and that ‘any dialogue twixt members of the {feminine sex or twixt them and the other sex is nothing but an account of doings in the little sphere of each. But, at that, conversation should be as sparkling as in a day when they had no spheres and could only talk of what they had read in a boox. Her complete contention is that women are not interesting, amiable, comfortable, sympathetic, listening, good companions, as they once were | before this age of individualism. R. I.

But the very finest present is one which costs no money at all, It costs more than money. It costs years of wise devotion and unselfish love.

On every hand you hear the word “complex” referred to. There are both the inferiority and superiority complexes, the sexual complex and a dozen others which you hear dis- cussed. One of the greatest truths brought out by the psychoanalyst is that past events which should have had an un- important meaning are given undue present power tl the magnify- ing ability of the imagination and the multiplying strength of exaggeration. A “complex” is thus built as the seed of an idea in the memory mind, and seems to collect around it all of the materials for its growth, that is, other ideas of a similar nature and those possible of association seem to gather together, making 8 complex of asso- ciated ideas. The trouble is, such @ complex is often a destructive one. A simple sexual incident of childhood may become a devouring monster in later Jife because the neurotic patient unconsciously gathers together all of the ugly and unwholesome ideas around this subject. A child, criticized for his failure in school, may build up a destructive complex of failure lasting all through his life. He may learn to think more of failure than success—to actually scan the newspapers for stories of failures,.to find excuses for his own anticipated failures,and thus spend all his life making excuses—instead of making good. The psychoanalyst and the psychologist can be of great help to such neurotic individuals by help- ing them to uncover the complex. This is done by simply helping the pa- tient to unravel the tangled skein of destructive ideas and under- stand each thing for its true worth. The greatest difficulty in doing this is that the patient is usually unaware that the complex has been developed through his own imagination and ex- tion. To be bluntly told this fact will often defeat the object of the well meaning friend or of the psy- chologist. The one who honestly wishes to get rid of destructive mental complexes should learn to earnestly study over all the events of his past life and view each happening in its true im- portance, as viewed in the light of more mature understanding. He must, figuratively, lay all his cards on the table and not be surprised at what he: finds. All experiences must be hon- estly judged at their true worth. He must learn to balance his and emotive life so that he will no longer suffer from an undue exagger- ation of some idea. Many psychologists are publishing “The statesman who knows his history knows that a law that arouses persistent defiance from a substantial minority of intelligent people is, from the point of view of securing results, a law.” —Ida M. Tarbell. eerie’ “The person who inherits a good mentality has nothing to be elated over. It is not to his credit that he has the brains.

H. asks: “Are egg: nogs good for a working man who is underweight, and if so, when is the best time to take them?” Answer—Eggnogs, being made of raw eggs and milk, are always a bad combination. One should never take such food in an effort to gain weight, ‘as more trouble will only develop from such a stuffing process with foods in bad combination. Removing Baby's Birthmark Question—Mrs. B:. E. B. writes: “My baby, four months old, has a large red birthmark on the end of his nose. Is it safe to have it removed now, and what method would you advise?” Answer—It would probably be ad- visable for you to have the baby’s birthmark removed while he is still young, as the scar will not be so large as when he grows older. Various methods are used, such as electricity, carbon dioxide snow, and acids. The first two methods are usually more easily controlled. Can’t Retain Cold Drink Question—Mrs. T. H. writes: “When my mother takes a drink of anything cold it comes right up, even before it seems to reach the stomach. Hot drinks stay down. What causes this? She is 81 years old.” Answer—Your mother may have in- flammation of the stomach, and the cold water and sensitive lining causes the stomach to contract. method of getting rid of the inflam- mation is to follow a milk diet for a time and then a well balanced diet. Sweating Hands Question—J. L. K., writes: “I have becn troubled with my hands sweat- ing. Will you please publish a cure of this?” Answer—Excessive sweating of the hands is generally’ a sign of some nervousness.
