CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) ROMANCE ON THE JOB Although we usually speak of a business career as | “humdrum” and unexciting, Vice President J. H. Bar- ringer, of the National Cash Register company. insists that the business world offers the surest road to romance of any calling in America. Mr. Barringer doesn’t quite make the romantic aspect. of business clear; which, after all, is no wonder, for ro- mance is something that cannot be described or defined. He talks rather vaguely of “the glamour of setting your- self a goal,” and so on; but although his argument isn’t always plain, it is obvious that he has enjoyed his busi- ness career right up to the hilt. Consequently, the busi- ness world has been a world of commerce, to him—and the young man who is resolved upon a life of adventure might think over what he has to say. Mr. Barringer’s remarks are useful. In a day when it fs the fashion to speak of romance as dead—killed by mass production and steam engines, most likely—it is good to be reminded that romance is chiefly a state of mind. If you have it inside of you, you'll find it, no mat- ter what your job is. An airmail pilot, who flew in the early days when the job was rather more risky than it is now, once remarked that the chief difficulty on those night flights over the Perilous Alleghenies was to keep from falling asleep. ‘The captain of an old-time square-rigged sailing vessel, j is unequal to supporting a greater number than are living | | children as making up the average family THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, on the planet.

Distribution would cor- rect both conditions. If the time comes when the earth on it the situation will work out its own cure. It is in- dicated in some ways that the process of diminishing the ratio of increase is already under way. It has been the rule to reckon two parents and three | A survey | covering 23,373 familles is reported to have shown that | almost one-fourth had no children living at home. an- | other fourth had one child, one-fifth had two children and less than one-third had three or more.

SAGACIOUS FINANCE Tight money conditions will make it possible for the | United States treasury to buy in at 98 cents on the dollar part of the outstanding three and one-half per cent treas- ury notes which mature from 1930 to 1932. The govern- ment exchanged them at par for second Liberty loan bonds in March, 1927, and proposes to buy them in now to the face value of $75,000,000, taking advantage of their | depressed value and netting the government a profit of | $1,000,000. ‘This is another example of the skill with which the na- tional treasury operates under Mellon management. It is money in the pockets of the taxpayers to have govern- ment finance thus conducted as capably as are the fi- nancial operations of great corporations managed by high-priced experts for private gain. The government cannot be unfavorably criticized for | redeeming its own securities at less than the pledged amount, for it was not the government that forced down their value and by redeeming them before their maturity date the treasury is granting a financial boon to the holders who want their money now and would have to sell on the market for even less than 98. The govern- ment has done nothing to injure its own credit. These would be ideal front porch days if there were any front porches and anyone wanted to spend his time there. A Detroit woman bandit used tear gas in a bank hold- up the other day. Same old feminine formula: tears for money. Job's friends were a decent lot.

It presents one of the most serious social and business handi- caps. I have even known doctors, dentists and nurses whose breath was so unpleasant as to drive patients away, It may scem a silly reason, but un- Pleasant bodily odors as well as bad breath stand very high in the list of real causes for divorce. A husband may possess very fine qualities, and still his physical presence may be- come actually repulsive to the wife because of a tobacco or onion breath. While the tobacco or onion causes could be easily removed, there are many others which might be called disease causes which are more diffi- cult to eliminate. Here are a few causes which are quite common: Catarrhal trouble of the mouth, throat, bronchi, stomach or sinuses. These troubles can be discovered by the physician if the individual does not know which one is causing his own trouble. A proper diagnosis will of course indicate the correct method of treatment. Pyorrhea and trench mouth can be cured through removing the primary cause of over-acidity of the stomach and the contributing causes of bac- terial infection. Scaling of the teeth or treatment of the gums should be given by a dentist, and periodical calls made upon the dentist to prevent further trouble. The cheese-like matter in the crypts of the tonsils will make a very disagreeable odor with those who have diseased or infected tonsils. The ton- sils can be cured through diet and local treatments or if this is not done they should be removed. Decayed teeth should be given the Proper care, and would never develop very far if the dentist was consulted frequently.

And then, to balance’ these men, who were bored stiff by tasks that mest of us would call the last word in ro- mance, the vice president of a manufacturing company, whose first job was that of a shut-in filing clerk, pro- claims that a business career is fairly dripping with ro- martic adventure. Romance, apparently, is not exactly what we generally suppose it to be. It doesn’t depend on remote corners of the earth, peril- ous chances or oriental sunrises. It is all a matter of living intensely—of contriving to get every ounce of en- ergy into the daily routine, of exercising every last bit of one’s ability to do, to experience and to comprehend. That is not always easy. Yet it doesn't depend so much on outside circumstances. The world of romance, like the kingdom of heaven and every other desirable goal, lies within us. And the best way to find it, usually, is to forget all about it and plunge with all that you have into in the quest of pleasure.

Editorial Comment THEY RAN AWAY FROM HOME (Portland Oregonian) The Travelers’ Aid society encountered during the past year several thousand runaway children under 16 years of age. It finds that girls run away from home because they are dissatisfied with conditions in the home, or be- cause they believe that fame and fortune await them in motion pictures, or because they have been misfortunate in sentimental affairs. Boys are not so emotionally com- plex. They run away in quest of adventure. One as- sumes that the society not only talked with these chil- dren, but that it helped them in such ways as readily suggested themselves. Doubtless, however, these children were but a fraction of the total of runaways.

MEXICO’S BURDEN Nineteen years of revolutionary strife have imposed upon Mexico a cost in lives lost, men maimed, property lost and national debt incurred which equals the horrors of devastation suffered by the nations most seriously scourged by the World war. Figures compiled by General Candidio Aguliar, veteran of the revolt against the Diaz regime in 1910, foreign min- ister under Carranza and later governor of Vera Cruz, give a new and more appalling significance to the long In the light of these statistics the Mexiean revolutions appear highly chain of civil wars below the Rio Grande. consequential and cease to appear as opera bouffe. Nineteen years of internal strife have left a record of 1,200,000 dead, a greater number wounded, a billion and a quarter in national debt incurred, property losses actu- ally beyond estimate and national progress retarded a generation. ‘With these compelling figures before them the Mexi- can people ought to be in a mood for prolonged, if not perpetual, peace. War-weariness in itself ought to pro- vide the opportunity for a surcease of slaughter and a rehabilitation of Mexican life in its every branch. It should be nearly impossible to organize a revolt against even the most corrupt and despotic of governments at this time, and it is believed that the present govern- ment is both honest and competent. THE PERILS OF THE SUBMARINE ‘When the American submarine 8-4 went down off Provincetown two years ago there was a great deal of , criticism of our navy department. The sinking of the 8-4 was the second big submarine disaster we had had in a comparatively short time; and many people felt that our naval executives must be somehow slipshod or care- Jess. Now, however, the tragic accident to the British sub- marine H-47 puts a different light on things. For it de- velops that Britain, too, has had submarine disasters in matter of that? It often is faulty, prejudiced and un- sound. About all one can say to children who think that running away will better their conditions is that it won't. It won't unless those conditions are far worse than they are in the average home. There isn't any pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The place that is there becomes the place that is here. And loneliness, and hunger and shame are often the rewards of children who run away. In youth it is but natural that there should be an im- Patience to sample life. That is why matured persons should not be impatient with the whims of the imma- ture. What children should be told, what they should be brought to see, if possible, is that life is as near to them, and as real, as instructive, as entertaining, at home as anywhere else. Romance and adventure are always just around the corner. They may come tomorrow. But young folks who run away 'n search of them. how often has the world been moved to pity and dismay by what befell. To all children who are contemplating a quest for the rainbow’'s end the very best advice that can pos- sibly be given is to, wait a while. AN AERIAL HELPS HIS GARDEN (Oklahoma City Oklahoman) Vic Stanley of Ponca City, Okla., believes he has made a new discovery. He has developed a new use for a radio erial and there is no static to interfere; that is, if static is present it is a help and not a nuisance. Imagine a garden free from insect pests—no beetles on struggling potatoes; no lady bugs to eat up the squash vines just as they are ready to bear. They all have been driven off by electricity. But this isn’t all. On his “proving grounds” the moles have disappeared and Stanley believes that a charge from the air has also sent them scurrying to other parts. Fruits and vegetables are greatly improved in both size and quality. To prove this Stanley exhibited a sack of Irish Cobbler potatoes that were as large as the ma- ture product, smooth and entirely free from blight and scale. They were planted March 24 without regard to the moon and by May 10 were as large as hen eggs. Grapes in the Stanley garden are now as large as the mature All of this is done by taking some of the electricity from the air and distributing it underground. The aerial is run about twenty feet above the garden, east and west. Every ten feet copper wires are dropped down. These are soldered to a galvanized wire that is buried one foot oO aaa ale pamela garden. But weeds grow just as rapidly under the stimulus of electricity from the air as do fruits and vegetables. Until some other doscovery is made the gardener will still need the old faithful hoe and file, Stanley says. * * IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
