CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) 2 tenet te ett tat aa cake TIME FOR FIRE PRECAUTIONS ‘This is the time above all others to observe every pos- sible precaution against fire. The dry spell has pro- duced virtual tinder on all sides—in wooden construc- tion and in withered herbage. It needs but the touch of a spark to set up a blaze such as that which destroyed an elevator and two homes at McKenzie, Thursday. And around the city there have been numerous grass blazes menacing to property on the edge of town. Along the railroads, in spite of spark arresters equipping the locomotives, big stretches of dry herbage have been burned over. Camping offers another form of fire peril at this time The keenest watchfulness is required to avoid ig- niting the surroundings when, for days, the thermometer has hovered around the 100 mark and rain has been a rarity for a month or more. But the greatest peril is the cigarctte butt, because there are so many of these and the average smoker is 80 prone to be careless in tossing them aside. In Cali- fornia the train coaches carry placards werning against this form of carelessness and receptacles for the butts are on cach passenger coach. Even old tin cans and glass receptacles tossed care- lessly into the dry grass may at present furnish the elc- ment, combined with the sun's rays, to produce ignition and a possibly costly fire ‘There is nothing so important now in the way of pre- caution as to avoid making the dry spell worse by the addition of fires, STRESS OF PROGRESS TO WORKER ‘The world is in the greatest industrial transition period since steam was harnessed to do the work of man. With the aid of electricity the period has produced inventions which even the soaring imagination of Jules Verne 30 years ago was unable to vision in his then fantastic tales which went “20,000 leagues under sea” and soared above the world in the dream of the present airplanc. As H. G. Taylor said at the advisory board luncheon here, Tuesday, five industries which did not exist 30 years ago today are employing 30,000,000 workers, while in the last seven years new machines have displaced 3,000,000 workers from their old jobs, some of them from their life’s occupations. He meant the movies, electricity, chemistry, the automobile industry and the radio. The swift transitions that have resulted from the de- velopment of these and other forms of mechanical prog- ress have brought about a period of stress for the work- ers, especially those above 40, which since Dr. Osler's bromide about chloroforming men at that age as no longer useful, has become a sort of dead line to faith in human efficiency, in spite of the Edisons, Burbanks, the Darwins, Wendell Holmeses, Mary Baker Eddys and other mental and inventive geniuses being refutation to the contrary. This stress has been poignantly demoralizing at all periods when the mechanical devices that have trans- formed industry and, through that transition, even civ- dlization itself, have begun the formation of their new economic orders. Mr. Taylor stated the situation in these epochal instances in his two citations—the one of the loss of employment to 3,000,000 workers in the last seven years through mechanical inventions and adapta- tions and the other the creation of jobs for 30,000,000 by entirely new industries developing in the last 30 years. Usually the industrial ills that have resulted from me- chanical progress have carried their own antidote, but the present period brings up the specter of unemploy- ment—or rather decreasing employment—in a more un- Pleasant and fearsome way than in the past, when one contemplates the swift and ruthless changes entailed by civilized mechanical progress and mass production. Stuart Chase, who has proven himself as clear-eyed an observer of modern industrial trends as any man in the country, invokes the dread specter of “laid off at 40” when he declares in the July Harpers magazine that ‘we seem to be headed for an ever greater technical ef- ficiency at an ever greater human cost, and adds that “a more truly damnable apportionment of the human costs of industry it is difficult to imagine.” “Laid off at 40” is a phrase that probably will be heard repeated a good many times in the next few years. It represents one of the biggest problems raised by modern industrial methods—a problem that this generation must solve if we are to come éven close to justifying our be- lief that America is the best of countries in which to live. For to be “laid off at 40” is the fate of constantly increasing numsers of American workers, according to ‘Mr. Chase. Business and industry, having taken to machinery, mass production and high pressure tactics gencrally, are hit- ting an ever higher pace. This pace requires young men. Middle age, in the eyes of many employers, is not the period of greatest usefulness, but the period of declining Powers. In addition, machines are continually displacing workmen frem their jobs; and this, likewise, means that young men get the call and that the middle-aged man is Rot wanted. Conditions will grow steadily worse, Mr. Chase warns, unless the nation as a whole sets itself to remedy mat- checked, if not altogether eliminated, by the fol- terially Jowing steps: Sas out much urging. Something, obviously, needs to be done; for Mr. Chase is not far from right when he con- cludes: “A mechine age without adequate protection for the workers scrapped by the machine is tearing down its social fabric as fast as it builds up its shell of con- crete and steel. It is indeed sunk in barbarism.” THE THINKER From his office window he looks down into the streets below. In front of him the excavations are being made for a great building. He observes the laborers. How in- different they are! How slowly they move! What time they waste lighting cigarettes, standing and looking, joking together, disputing over their tools. For 10 whole minutes he watches and finds not a single man intent upon his job. And that crowd standing azape on the street regarding wondcringly the deft movements of the steam shovel. There they will remain looking on instead of going about their business, wasting the time of their employers. Next they will saunter off to peer in shop windows, or to crowd about a truck that has broken down or to watch a man painting a flagpole. And they will return home to tell their wives what a hard day they have had. He ponders, Can this be the spirit that has made America? Or has the sturdy pionecr yiclded to the shirker? Is the national blood beginning to thin? Where is the old sense of responsibility and self-rcliance? Where the old delight in doing a solid day’s work? With a sigh he looks at his watch. It is time to go to lunch with his discussion group. He tells his secretary he should be back in a couple of hours. And will she please ; have the letters ready for him to sign upon his return, as he is leaving carly this afternoon. They have canceled the conference, as the general manager is playing in the golf tournament. He sets out for lunch, regarding the shop windows on the way, and pausing to observe a motor car thai has stalled at an intersection and to join a crowd around a street musician. Once more he is impressed with the universal tendency toward idlen It disturbs him. Two hours for lunch. Gazing out of a window. Saun- tering on the street.

SLOW MEDICINE There are hurts to the heart and conscience which are quickly healed and forgotten, needing only a little good sense to bring about their cure. There are others which are too deep for surface remedy and will leave a scar long after they are ended by the slow medicine of time Such hurts cannot be ignored or put away from mind and memory by an intention to forget them. A chance word or experience will tear them wide open again, so that their paint and danger come back to fresh life. If @ man will be cured of a serious wound, he must face its pains like a man and, if needful, suffer more in order that he may at last be healed. So with a serious sin, a deep grief or bitter hurt. These must be faced with courage and their wound kept clean of the cvils of bit- terness, self-pity and excuse, or else they grow malignant and threaten death to the spirit. Given this much of help, time works its slow healing. The scar remains, but the man is whole again. It is slow medicine, but the law of nature and the laws that rule the spirit of man know no other way of cure. DEFERRED PROFITS Experience rarely gives up its full profit in the first flaish of the event. It leaves its mark and impression, with recollections of pain or pleasure, but with these its work for good or evil is by no means over. The mind takes hold on experience in the calm of re- flection and determines what is to become of it. It comes to judgment egainst the accusation of old convic- tions or prejudices, against fixed habits of mind and codes of right and wrong. At the same time new ideas are gathered to it, so that a past experience may become @ stepping-stone to better breadth of understanding, sympathy or self-comprehension Experience thet remains undigested by second thought will leave no more than a scar of regret or an isolated memory that is gone and will at last be forgotten. It is a part of human responsibility to make experience yield more profits than these. Every important exper- ience should become a foothold for progréss into wisdom, the wisdom that is compounded of conscious strength, humility and good intention.

Editorial Commen' CHINA MAKES WAY FOR MOTORS (Nation's Business) The greatest array of workers in China since the build- ing of the great wall is now building roads in Kweichow Two hundred thousand soldiers, farmers, tradeSmen, school children—boys and girls—have been put at this work by Chow Hsi-tsun, a young military leader of an adjoining province who was invited to Kweichow on promise of substantial support if he suc- eceded in restoring peace and prosperity. Not long ago the first motor car reached the provincial capital after a fifty-day journey from Canton, being transported in places on coolies’ backs over the mountain ranges when water THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, li D ill Mrs. Josephine Valente, 19, of Los Angeles, is held on a murder charge for the death of her 8-months-old baby carriage and burning him to death. She told police that she owed a milk bill and could get no more milk for her baby until it was paid; that her husband refused to give her mon- ey; that she wanted to go to work but couldn't afford to put the baby in a day nursery; and it seemed to her that the only thing to do was to dispose of the burden. xk Y CRAZY, OF COURSE! Many a comment could be made upon the story. One's first reaction is that, of course, the woman was crazed, for such desecrations of that strongest of all human instincts, the one of maternity, can only be ex- plained in this way. our insistence on the strength of the parental, especially maternal instinct, in all normal people isn’t a bit far- fetched. Perhaps people can be en- tirely normal—normal in all other re- spects, at least—and yet left quite cold by the biological experience of parenthood. xk Oe “YOU GET IT!” One could comment. on the easiness of paternity, the way in which some fathers seek to escape responsibility by leaving the job up to the wife and mother. If she can’ get milk, well, get it somehow. There might be a comment, too, mother which tears the nerves raw till a mother, once perhaps normal, can calmly set fire to her baby sleep- ing in his carriage. x * *& MODERN WOMAN Some might pick out the woman's casual remark, “I wanted to go to work,” as pro that modern woman, crazed by the clarion cry of “job,” will kill even her child in order to get out of the home. Most interesting of all will it be to see what the court does with her, for, if Iam not son. She admitted setting fire to his Sometimes, though, one wonders if that's just too bad, but it’s her job to on the havoc of this job of wife and | # mistaken, no woman has | NAYS ever paid the d penalty in this country for murdering her child.

The fate of six-foot-tall and 250- pound-in-weight Laura Weaver, 21, charged with being the first woman la slayer,” will be more doubt- ‘ul. Little Laura confessed that she strangled to death Wilmer Kitsel- man, her common law husband, and burned his body to charred embers. She told how she did it in “a cold fury,” carried the body 30 miles, or aaaiad fit in gasoline, and set fire to it. It would be very simple to wager that the woman who confessed that she killed her child will get off more easily than the one who confessed she killed her lover. Human psychology permits us to believe that sex love is such that murder could occur, but it will not permit us to believe that parental murder can be performed by a sane person. xk * HA, HA! The boys have laughed so much at all the rumpus about where Mrs. Gann, sister and official hostess of Vice-president Curtis, shall sit, that “us girls” rather rejoice in a similar official case at a stag dinncr.

(Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) SATURDAY, JULY Poor Butterfly! | , 1929 CATCHING ENTHUSIASM (By Alice Judson Peale) | Some children are self-starters. Never do they have to ask anyone what to do, and seldom how to do | what they wish. These children are the product of unusually fortunate circumstances, of dispositions well suited to take advantage of the en- vironment in which they find them- selves, But most children are not self starters. Whether this is because their environment or their training has beén at fault is hard to say. Most of us naturally think of childhood as the time of spontaneity and enthus-_ \jasm and vigorous activity. Yet it is true that a great many children, when left to themselves, spend sorry hours of listlessness. Such a child needs stimulation. Best of all, is to help him find playmates who will stir him to happy pursuits. Sa en One Se ea But if, for one reason or another, it is impossible to provide for him the companionship of his fellows, an adult who can, in some measure, take their place is the next best thing. If your child is one who finds the day holds many vacant hours, sct yourself to be his playmate. Do with {him the things in which likely he would be interested after he once gets | started. Do with him the things you would like to do yourself. Nothing is more catching than enthusiasm, especially when the carrier is one whom the child loves. Go swimming with your child, walk ‘in the woods with him, play ball with him, Work with him in the garden, in the carpenter shop or the garage. The listless one soon will catch your enthusiasm, and perhaps will become @ good self starter.

National Broad- sreciy in WHO OWN ENCLOSE _STANPED A GOOD TREATMENT FOR BUNIONS In many parts of the body where strong tendons pass over bones or where one bone presses upon another, friction is avoided by an intermediary tough membranous sac filled with fluid. These sacs, called “bursae,” enable the two parts to work or glide past each other with ease. Bunions are caused by the swelling of the bur- sa covering the ball of the great toe. The inflammation may spread into the adjacent tissues of the foot and be very painful. If the inflammation exists for 9 long time, the tissues become thick and hard. In the acute form the joint is swollen, hard, painful and red. In the chronic form the entire joint area becomes enlarged, and the big toc, in place of looking forward, points to- wards the little toe. The pain is not so severe in the chronic form, but the enlargement is much harder to reduce because of the toughening of the tissue. The principal cause of this swelling is improperly fitting shoes. They may be to tight and cause a constant pressure, or they may be too loose and heavy at the same time, which will cause as much trouble. Injuries to the foot from stubbing the toe or from a heavy object falling on the foot may also be the start of inflam- mation. If you wish to overcome the bun- ion, the first thing to do is to take away all pressure of the shoe upon the swelling. This may be done by obtaining special bunion shoes from an orthopedic shoe store; or, by cu¢- ting a hole through the leather of the shoe considerably larger than the bunjon, and inserting a piece of very soft leather inside the shoe to make the hole inconspicuous; or, if the bunion is not large, it be bene- fond by wearing extra wide-toed 0es. Sometimes the pressure may be re- moved by the application of a bunion plaster, a form of ring which is pasted on the foot around the bunion to take away the pressure from the sore area, It is most important to be sure that the big toe can straighten out properly and that all pressure is taken away from the bunion. After the problem of relieving the pressure has been solved, the follow- ing treatment may be used to re- duce the swelling and soreness. Soak the foot in very hot water for at least thirty minutes morning and evening and keep the water quite hot by add- ing more hot water at frequent in- tervals. A handful of ordinary “bath” epsom salts thrown into the water will improve the effect. The cheapest epsom salts are just as beneficial. Af- ter a half hour of the epsom salts hot water treatment, massage your feet thoroughly with cocoa-butter, olive or almond oil, giving the entire feet a complete massage, always rubbing up- FF CLAD SSO FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPT. On July 27, 1789, the new United States government established a de- partment of foreign affairs, com- pletely separated from conduct of do- mestic affairs. This was the first executive depart- ment organized under the new con- stitution after George Washington had been elected president and John Adams, vice president. The bill creating the department defined its duties to be correspond- ence with and instructions to diplo- matic and consular representatives abroad and negotiations with agents of foreign nations in the United States. John Jay was placed in temporary charge. This department was short-lived, however, for a few weeks later con- gress passed a bill creating the de- partment of state to assume the di ties of the department of foreign af- fairs. . of the department materially enlarged and it became most important of government of- fices under the president.

Where ulceration has occurred, it is sometimes necessary to use an anti- septic treatment as well, but practic- ally all cases of acute and chronic bursitis will improve with this treat- 1 ment. In some cases there may con- tinue a slight enlargement of the joint of the big toe, but the soreness should disappear. At the same time, you will be delighted to see that the callouses of the feet will peel off and the corns will be loosened so that they can be removed without cutting. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Catarrh Question—Mrs. K. 8. writes: “My litle boy has a continuous discharge from the nose, especially the left sie, How can I remedy this?” Answer—A corect diet, free from catarrh-producing foods, will stop the cause of the discharge. Temporary help can be received through the use of the ultra-violet light applied di- rectly in the nose through suitable applicators. Rash While on Fast Question—W. G. F. asks: “What is the cause of a patient, after being on orange juice for a time, coming out in arash? I have been on orange juice myself for nearly two weeks and I feel fine. Patient I refer to was a very heavy eater.” Answer—The skin frequently breaks out on @ person who is on an orange fast. This is especially true with those who have been heavy eaters and who are very toxic. It is simply caused by the climination of toxins, and will disappear if the fast is con- tinued long enough. « Milk Diet Question—N. B. writes: “I would thank you to advise me just how long one can remain on a milk diet. Iam on it at present for trouble and have derived so much benefit that I ma anxious to remain on milk just as long as possible.” Answef—It is impossible to deter- mine just how longapersoncan liveon an exclusive milk diet. In my prac- tice I have had cases remain on the milk diet for as long as five or six months, and I have heard of others living on it for as long as three years. ts It is a good policy to stay with the milk diet regime until all pain and tenderness have disappeared from the stomach region.
