CHICAGO NEW YORK ——$—$— ———$$___—_______— (Official City, State an@ County Newspaper) WHAT MEN CAN ENDURE ‘The California endurance flyers have set a record that ought to stand for a long time. And if anybody tries to tell you that their flight was interesting and valuable solely because it showed the marvelous stamina and capability of the modern airplane and its motor, don't you believe it. Those chaps didn’t go up in order to see how long & ‘Whirlwind motor would run without stopping, or to see how long an airplane could fly without being damaged. Indeed, none of the endurance flyers did, with the ex- ception of the army men who went in the Question Mark. ‘What all these airmen wanted to find out was how long they themselves would last. The endurance flight pre- sented itself to each of them as a challenge. Like the ocean flights, it was a thing that could only be under- taken by men who could defy both the fear of danger and the deadly, almost unbearable, effect of extreme physical fatigue. And that—no matter what the dignified writers say about “the value of the flights to aviation”—is the main reason why we bother to read about such stunts. It is what makes them interesting. A rather irritating attitude is being shown by lots of people in connection with these flights. They say, in ef- fect: “Oh, they're very boring and they don't do the least bit of good, except that they show how well our airplanes ‘and motors are made—and the men who make them might better be flying the airmail, or piloting transport planes, or doing something else that is really useful.” ‘That attitude is quite mistaken. It is always valuable to see men go out and prove that they can ignore the de- mands of their bodies. Any kind of triumph over the physical man—the creature that demands food and sleep and relaxation and comfort—is worth looking at. Why do we like to read stories about the old-time sail- ing ships that fought stupendous gales off Cape Horn in mi¢winter—ships that were half-buried in foam for days, ships whose sails were stiff as boards and whose rigging was sheathed in ice, ships whose seamen brought them through unimaginable dangers and hardships, going a fortnight without a bite of hot food or drink? Why? Simply because it is endlessly encouraging to know that men can do things like that. Simply be- cause it raises our confidence in the whole human race to know that it can endure every extreme of danger and discomfort without whimpering. The endless flights are things of the same sort. What if they don't greatly advance the “science of aviation”? Who cares? They have another kind of value—a value in which all of us can share, whether we're directly con- nected with aviation or not. CODIFYING HUMAN RACE A situation exists today which the primitive founders of the English language could not possibly have foreseen. The makers could not have foretold the English coloniza- tion of America and Australia and the carrying of the language into the four corners of the earth, nor could they have accurately calculated the future growth of the world’s population. Their lack of foresight resulted in a woeful dearth of proper and surnames. In the early days of the language the catalog of clan mames kept pace with the growth of population, but even if it hadn't each Smith, Jones or Johnson moved only in the orbit of his little village, so no confusion of names and indemnities arose. But today in England alone there are 350,000 people named Smith, and of these 204,000 are J. Smith, 41,000 are John Smith, 30,000 are J. W. Smith and 5,000 John William Smith. An English inventor has conceived a plan which, if universally adopted, would eliminate all the confusion, annoyance and loss now resulting from the similarity in names. His scheme is to supplement personal names by @ code designation, to which he has given the name “monomark.” Each person would be given a monomark and would be registered under that mark at a central headquarters. Use of the mark on jewelry, baggage, stationery, mail and other articles and property would make it as simple to find the owner of a lost article as to locate the owner of an automobile. The Englishman's system is ingenious and may eventu- ‘ally be found indispensable, but a greater exercise of in- genuity and originality on the part of parents would make the codification of human beings unnecessary. Boston "| A LOPSIDED ARGUMENT You hear some weird and confusing arguments made im @ criminal court. But here's one, heard recently in New York, that pretty nearly takes the palm. A man was on trial for murder, accused of killing s rather gangster. His attorney admitted that the defendant had done the killing, but argued that he How heavily this weighed with the jury, we don't know; but at any rate the defendant got off with a mansigugh- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1929 improvement involves billions of dollars which must come from the people. It has only been in recent years that the United States undertook the herculean task of improving its highways. ‘There are still those states without modern roads and in no state have the systems of improved highways becn completed. Great strides have been made in the last two decades, but the job is only begun. Universal use of the automobile and motor truck ip transportation has taken the lesson of good roads into every section of the country no matter how isolated. Where the railroad goes the permanent highway is neces- sary as an auxiliary. Where there are no railroads the hard-surface road must serve the purpose of the rail- road. The nation must complete the improvement of its highway system regardless of the cost. The only ques- tion is how soon will the last mile be under construction. A VACATION BY AIR Announcement that a sumptuous Sikorsky amphibian plane eulpped with electric lights and running water re- cently left New York to take the family of a Chicago millionaire on a cross-country pleasure flight may prove the forerunner of a thing that will become relatively common in the next few years. A vacation by air, especially when the plane provides recreation as one could imagine. Just now, of course, it is confined to the wealthy. The aerial flivver has not yet appeared. But when it comes—as it will, eventu- ally—we are going to see an extension of this sort of thing that will be simply amazing. The Chicago gentleman, sailing westward on a plcas- @ veritable swarm of aerial tourists. NO STEADFAST RULE A critic once said that “an educated poet is almost al- ways a bad poet; that scholarship produces critics, not creators, and encourages pedantry rather than passion.” The facts are convincing that the author of the criticism was a poor judge of good poetry. Among the university poets were Spencer, Marlowe, Milton, Dryden, Donne, Gray, Goldsmith, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, Byron, Shelley, Tennyson and Swin- burne. Among the non-university poets were Shakes- Peare, Pope, Cowper, Burns, Blake, Keats and Browning. It is evident, therefore, that university training is not essential to poesy. But the fact that such poets as Pope and Keats never attended a university does not prove them uneducated. G. K. Chesterton describes Browning as “the most educated man that ever lived,” but Brown- ing never attended an institution of higher learning. The man who said “an educated poet is almost always a bad poet” is no more in error than the fellows who be- lieve that one must go to college to be educated and that every college man is an educated man. A CHANCE FOR TROUBLE Two decades ago the Balkans were called “the powder magazine of Europe.” It was felt that any real disturb- ance there might easily involve all Europe in a war— and so, tragically enough, it finally happened. Right now the Chinese-Russian border might be given a title somewhat similar. Every major power has inter- ests in that region, and every one watches what happens there with jealous care. It would not be at all hard for @ conflict in that locality to breed a great war. For that reason the present difficulty between the new Chinese government and Soviet Russia is worth watch- ing. It may—probably will—be smoothed over somehow; or, if fighting comes, it may be confined to the two nations primarily involved. But almost anything could happen, The situation is not exactly reassuring, An expert says every car owner should learn how each Part of his car functions. He should at least learn how the steering wheel functions. The difference is that a statesman thinks he belongs to the state, and the politician thinks the state belongs to him.

Dr Frank McCoy 1 Me Saat Way 30 Maal HEALTH ICE CREAM During a hot day, one’s th naturally turns to ice cream, but it should be thoroughly understood that the food yalue of ice cream is very Trit oy high, and it should at all times be ‘ Most of the formulas used by the ice cream manufacturers contain ap- proximately the same ingredients, 10 to 12 per cent milk fat, 14 to 15 per cent cane sugar, 10 to 11 per cent of milk solids, and less than 1 per cent of edible gelatin. During the summer, I would sug- gest that you try some lunches of ice cream as the principal part of the meal, using with it any one kind of fruits, such as cherries, peaches, or- anges or berries. Or, in place of the fruit, you may use the cooked or raw non-starchy vegetables. When you use ice cream, it is better to leave out meat, potatoes, bread, cake and all other heavy foods, as they are not needed with such a highly nutritious food as ice cream. ‘You can make a very fine health ice cream at home if you have an ice cream freezer. If you are inclined to be overweight or intend the ice cream for children, it is better not to use as high a proportion of cream, but use more milk. It is also a little better to use brown sugar or honey than the refined granulated sugar in preparing the ice cream. If you wish the cream to be of a smoother consist- ency, you can add gelatin, but you can make a very fine ice cream by simply mixing crushed fruits, whole milk and sufficient sweetening. Pure orange juice or crushed berries, mashed peaches, etc., can be frozen without milk for fruit ices by those who wish to avoid gaining weight. The follow- side edge—not the top. ice may then be sliced and served; or if you have one of the new electrical refrigerators, you can place the can of fruit in the freezing compartment for about a half to three-quarters of an QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Rash Question—H. W. G. writes: “A rash composed of water blisters has ap- peared on my neck and arms which irritates, especially night. Have a eating a good deal of rhubarb ly.” Answer—Rhubarb is too acid to be probably guessed the cause of your trouble. Besides, the acid of the rhu- barb makes it necessary to-use 50 | much sugar to make it palatable, that | this mixture increases the acidity of the stomach above normal. y Treatment for Hair Question—F. D. asks: “Can you recommend something to use on my hair to thicken it and to make it o” Answer—The ice treatment applied to your scalp twice daily will make your hair grow strong. Keep your hair cut short and treat the scalp by tobacco okay, or whatever symbolized aetna thick towel and move it from one part of the scalp to the other, giving about a five-minute treatment. This brings the blood to the hair roots, and the hair shafts will become larger and stronger because of the increased blood supply.

Our problem of insight into the lives of our children is complicated not only by our natural ignorance of the workings of the child mind, but also by the fact that such insight as we may gain is distorted by the self- censored memories of our childhood, and by our own peculiarities of tem- Perament. We forget that we were ever diso- bedient or unhappy. We remember only the agreeable and flattering as- pects of our youth. We are preju- diced by our own prejudices, bound by our own limitations. It is well to admit our ignorance, the unreliability of our personal mem- ories, and the distorting influence of our own emotional prejudices.

Here are two wallops in the day's news about those fool clothes men wear. Dr. Octavio Lewin, ear, nose and throat specialist of London, says that women are surpassing men a because they don't wear col- lars. Freedom of the neck means a bet- ter brain, she says. And here's Dr. Eugene L. Fisk of the Life Extension institute again saying that the modern male is “grossly overclad.” He points out that male shoes alone, average size, weigh more than the average woman's com- plete outfit. Dr. Fisk is interested in @ men's dress reform league now be- ing organized abroad. ss * THE DIFF Nothing, it seems to me, so proves man’s greater conservatism over that of women than their slavish accept- ance of a sartorial burden which no woman would endure for a minute.

And for her. He never hears her candid opinions. “Women, secretly, regard their hus- bands with a calm detachment, they realize, usually, the truth about them; but that is a knowledge it would be fatal for them to admit. If a woman actually was candid with a man im- portant to her happiness she'd lose him at once. He would be outraged in every instinct.” xe e APPLESAUCE Writers are fond of launching this little theory about love technique; they assure us that the clever woman would no more think of letting the man/she loved be constantly sure that she loved him than she would think of telling him that his taste in clothes wasn't so hot. s | But for the mass of us mortals who have heard the neighbors quarreling Warts Question—L. D. G. writes: “I am getting warts on my fingers and I ¥ want to know if there is any way to get rid of them, or to prevent any more.” Answer—Warts are caused by a sys- temic acidosis, and can be prevented by proper dieting. Warts can be eas- ily removed by the application of glacial acetic acid. Get a small bot- tle of these crystals in a drug store and apply a small crystal to each one of the warts. Rub vaseline all around the wart before applying the acid. One application of the crystals is us- ually sufficient. . (Copyright, 3629, The Bell Syndicate, Ine.)
