CHICAGO NEW YORK (Official City, State and County Newspaper) DO BROCOPP COMMUNITY HONOR It is a matter of price that a Bismarck resident has ‘been chosen to receive the nation’s distinguished service | cross. There are not many of these crosses about. Where they are they imply a distinction, both to the receiver and to his community, that is to be envied. All soldiers are supposed to be brave and dutiful as a matter of routine, but it still has been found possible to be brave and dutiful beyond the average, to be able to perform services so conspicuously above the ordinary run of fighting or adventuring that the performer be- comes an outstanding character. Captain H. A. Brocopp has been cited as such a hero of the World war. The government gratefully and ap- preciatively has taken steps to bestow on him the dis- tinguished service cross as a decoration testifying to his merit. The occasion on which this cross is to be bestowed would, however, fall far short of its proper magnitude if this community did not rise to a recognition that it, too, is honored and that it, too, has a duty of gratitude to perform toward Captain Brocopp. For Bismarck this is an occasion to express such sentiments by participa- tion in the bestowal of the decoration. It will be fitting that citizens go to Fort Lincoln next Monday evening; and every participant in the din- ner afterward will be showing a well-deserved honor to Captain Brocopp. A generous participation in the ceremonies will be good for the spirit of Americanism in the community. That may be the richest reward of it all—that the patriotism of the coramunity be stirred and love of country gain new inspiration. The service clubs are on the right track. They are performing a public duty by their activity in behalf of a big celebration of the event next Monday evening. The Lions are, perhaps, to be particularly praised for tak- ing the initiative, which in this case is partly due to the fact that the recipient of the cross is one of their members, and from that angle they are to be envied. However, were Captain Brocopp a Kiwanian or a Rotar- jan there is no doubt but what those organizations would haye shown the same initiative in planning and adding a-celebration to the bestowal ceremonies. LAHR RETIREMENT LOSS TO CITY The retirement of W. E. Lahr from the automobile sales business in this city when he discontinues the Present Lahr company will leave many elements of regret in the community. The name Lahr has been identified so many years with business here that it has come to seem a fixed factor in the expanding processes of Bismarck’s development. For the city it is like an old and faithful servitor retiring from service. In many ways his energies have entered into the growth and wel- fare of the city. Any successful business man is an asset of that charac- ter to a community. And Mr. Lahr was a successful business man in every sense. Moreover, he was the pioneer here in the handling of automobiles. He started selling Willys-Overland cars here in 1909 and signed his first distributor contract in 1913. He has distributed Willys-Overland cars out of here 17 years and for the last five years out of Minot. This job was well done. Mr. Lahr was a business man of system. He left nothing to chance. His business moved steadily onward and upward and when it thrived, which was at all times, Bismarck shared in the pros- perity. . | The Lahr Motor Sales company, for instance, carried ‘@ monthly pay roll of $4,000. That is one of the forms tin which Mr. Lahr was a local asset. As he plans to ‘leave the city and enter auto selling somewhere else, the pay roll also is dismantled. But, after all, the main loss will be to lose one of the pillars of business. Any growing, ambitious city, such ‘as is Bismarck, needs men of the type of Mr. Lahr and there can be nothing but regret when such a business ‘man retires or is gained by some other place. TO COUNT THE JOBLESS Secretary of Commerce Lamont's action in appointing “"—@ representative committee of citizens to cooperate in enumerating the unemployed in connection with next Year's regular census of the population was the most Practical step taken toward the solution of a great na- tional problem. Officials of the departments of commerce and labor have already met with representatives of employers and employes, economic and sociological experts and others directly interested in this subject. It was shown a year ago that full and accurate data regarding unemployment is a prerequisite of finding permanent relief for the out-of-work. When the senate called upon Secretary of Labor Davis for information on the subject, the latter had to confess that it was not available in accurate form. ‘When the number of unemployed and the causes and periods of unemployment become known quantities the government and other agencies will be in s position to take remedial steps. Until then they can only guess and experiment. For until we know the extent and kinds of including the temporary, permanent, unemployment, | electrical voluntary and involuntary, and their relation to the | perature main problem, the proper remedies catinet be effectively ae consent. In the case of children, consent of parents or guardian must first be obtained. But the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the surgeon, on the ground that, as this particular case stood, it was not possible to ob- tain the patient's consent, and that it was his duty to go ahead and save the woman's life if he honestly believed her life was in peril. Cases of this nature are rare, but physicians and | surgeons sometimes have to take the responsibility of acting not strictly in accord with legal theory. Suppose a man with # fractured skull is found unconscious in the street. His identity cannot be established; there is no way of communicating with his relatives or friends. Must a surgeon wait until the man recovers a gleam of consciousness—or more probably dies—before making the | cperation that might save his life? Certainly no sen- | Sible jury would decide against him in a damage suit. tt seems the welfare of society is less jeopardized by medical men proceeding on their own responsibility than | by damage suits such as that brought in England. Had that claim been awarded surgeons would be justified in refusing to assume the responsibility in operations even where delay might mean death. | THINGS WORTH WHILE I Few men, indeed, have all the time they need. or | think they need, to take all that life offers of opportunity. | Under the spur of our fashion of living, the average life | |is hard pressed, and he who widens his interests and responsibilities increases likewise the demands upon him. Therefore arises the favorite criticism of our civiliza- tion, that it has made man a slave to the environment | he has created and chained him fast to self-made bur-| dens. There is small chance of remedy in finding more time | fer mere demands upon it. Life grows longer, but not | much; time-saving devices multiply, but bring with them | new demands upon the days and hours. He who com- | plains today that he has too little time is no worse off | than the man of the past, since he has all the time | there is. | The remedy—a simple one, yet often illusive and un- recognized—is the cultivation of the habit of decision as to what is important. He who knows this and lives so is a free man. If there is, indeed, a blessing in the mod- ern fashion of life, it is that such choice is now possible. Out of many opportunities a man may choose the best and let the rest go. From many things he may take to himself those of most worth. According to his wis- dom in the choice, his life will be full and of enduring | value to himself and his fellows. OLD-AGE INSURANCE The habit of the times, aided by salesmanship. calls for insurance against every conceivable calamity. Years of plenty must pay tribute to lean years to come and success be taxed for the sake of future nec ies. Every work of construction anticipates its own destruc- tion and provides against it. The commonest hazard that threatens is that old age. Death is not a hazard but a certainty; old is an unknown and somewhat ominous possibility. An: for oid age, none can make full provision except our- | selves. Comfort and peace may be given us by others, but the real needs of age we must meet for ourselves. There will be much that we shall need. We shall need the habit of reading, the habit of thought and the habit oi imagination if our days are to be full and pleasant. We shall need active affections for things that are in- | different to age and decay. We shall need a full book of memory and an increasing faith in the future that | draws so near. We shall need convictions and con- fidence and hope. Possession of these things grants to old age its due of grace and dignity and beauty, without which it is no more than the anticlimax of life. They must be laid up out of the abundance of youth or resolved out of experi- | ence by the alchemy of time. They are the gift of the | prime of our young vigor to the mature days of our spirit. of | A man who falls in love with himself never has any | rivals. | Editorial Comment GRAIN TRANSPORTATION OVER WATER ROUTES (St. Louis Times) News of waxing importance has for weeks been gather- | ing as to the leap which will be taken this year by | shipments of grain through the St. Louis river port toward the south. Much of these consignments will in | time go to foreign countries. Men with inside informa- | tion state privately that the previous records for grain movement by water will be absolutely drowned in 1929. | The Mississippi Valley has just made public that 40} new barges designed for use in the waters of the big river | and its confluents have reached completion at Pittsburgh | and will arrive in the vicinity of this river port within approximately a fortnight from this date. Their import- ance is impressive. They cost under the contract $61,000 | each. In a six-foot channel they can carry 1,000 tons uf freight apiece. In nine feet of water it will be twice that i much. This variable tonnage renders them available for service out of this port to either the Gulf or the falls of | St. Anthony. Today the Federal barge line is expecting to receive | from Omaha the first shipment of the grain from the Northwest which will go down the Mississippi. The | Traffic between here and Memphis will be in full flower | about the first of August and is expected to attain its peak during that month. This season is to mark the opening wide of the chan> nels which lead to the future seaport of the prairies. | Destiny is on our heels with fervid tread and will not | be pene We could not evade her embraces if we | wi ARTHRITIS AND WEATHER | (New Orleans Times-Picayune) When your bunion aches, the weather will change. Your rheumatic twinges really have meteorological value. This we are told has definitely been established | by tests made at one of the nation’s most important re- search laboratories. As this laboratory is operated in connection with a large sanatorium, there are many cases constantly available for study, and it would seem as if the determinations now made or making might be of much consequence to those who suffer from one of the best known, but least understood, maladies suffered by mankind. Ask any veteran agonizer from any of the many forms of rheumatism—in which category some authorities place arthritis and others not—and he will convince you that from his own personal experience there is a meteorolog- ical cause for most of his sufferings. But science is reluctant to accept such evidence until it shall have been thoroughly controlled and tested. The average patient is ready to swear that his trouble is due to dampness, and yet the controlled experiments fail to show that greater or less moisture has anything positive to do with the jon the grounds that her husband i ners and | luncheons a torment for the hostess | without a passport. |more lime in the finger nails, and [Soviet Ru | that babies must have spinach and or- | Suppose the New York papers will ange juice. _ {have to carry that story now about.

Somebody or other started the ball rolling the other day when she told a | judge that while her husband insisted | t home that he wanted to diet and p or regain his boyish figure, and while she sat up nights trying to| puzzle out appetizing and nourishing menus which keep the breath of life It was ij ater all 1 caloric whether one mashed potatoes with lots of butter, | corn on the cob, plenty of buttered | rolls, apple pie a la mode and. a few other tidbits guaranteed to do much/ svelte waistline. ees THESE DIETETIC TIMES j ten whether or not the! ed that this was just cause orce. ww comes the tale of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Black of Columbus. | The | Mrs. obtained a divorce the other d sisted on enforcing his vegetarian ideas on her, making her eat nothing | but rice and macaroni and tomatoes and oatmeal, when her soul yearned for sweetbreads grilled and clam chowder and liver and bacon. And here’s the tale in the mode of Mrs. Frank Lescure of Chicago who has filed suit for divorce, claim- ing that her husband, who liked his victuals, did everything within his power to hamper her in regaining her sweet sixteen silhouctte. If she tried to go breakfastless, she claims, he would force down her throat eggs and | other viands death to the figure you love to see. NO WONDER After all, it's more surprising that food foibles have caused so little pub- lic matrimonial trouble than that they are now beginning to do so. We are living in a food conscious age. If we aren’t food conscious for aesthetic purposes, we go food faddy, believing that pawpaws will make form. She may serve watercress | sandwiches when our own convictions | make us beware them. | Food, after all, is pretty funda- mental. The right food makes or mars not only the health but the dis- | position, It is possible that Mrs. Les- | eure, of Chicago, aired her matri- | monial troubles in the divorce court as much because she was in an ir-| ritable state due to half starvation as because she was really irked by no co- | operation in her diet. In the first case, that of the wom- an who divorced her husband be-| in a body and yet shoo away fat, hub- | cause he wouldn't stick to his dict, it| | by would stop in at a restaurant for | would be interesting to know if her | insistence on his dict was worry over his health or chagrin because he was getting too heavy to be an Adonis- | like figure on the dance floor. The! |more for the disposition than the! first can hardly be true or her devo- tion would not have driven her to a divorce. se WE HAVE CONVICTIONS We mortals are amusing in the way we insist on foisting our convictions upon those nearest us, even if the conviction is nothing more than the certainty that tomatoes are better than beefsteak. And we'll fight more bitterly for the acceptance of our convictions than we will for the preservation of cur peace and serenity, even up to the judge’s bench in the divorce court. And after the divorce is granted, the one who asked for the divorce be- cause husband wouldn’t diet or wife would diet may find himself and her- self married again and fighting against another person’s convictions. oe a BARBS | The Prince of Wales recently started the brewing of a new, extra- strong ale.

H. writes: “My baby holds her breath until she is black in the face at times, and noth- ing we can do seems to get her out of this habit. Will you tell me some- thing to do?” Answer: Babies often learn to hold their breath this way just to frighten their mothers and to attract atten- tion. However, it is possible there may be something wrong with the child, and I would suggest that you take her to a baby specialist. If you 1s find there is nothing wrong, pay no attention to this habit, e will always begin to breathe again before there is any danger. LJ Question: G.H. asks: “Can pota- t toes or carrots or asparagus replace | spinach in your celery, tomato and | spinach soup? Do butter and cream ' make a good mixture with this soup?” Answer: Carrots or asparagus could be used to replace the spinach in this soup, but I do not advise the use of potatoes because they do not combine well with tomatoes. Butter and cream may be used with the soup,.! a Cancer Question: S. F. writes: “I am to begin working in a family where one of the members has cancer. I am ti ‘ do no washing, only ironing. I have heard that cancer is contagious, and I am doubtful whether it is wise for me to become employed here.” Answer: The exact cause of can- cer is unknown, but doctors are prac- tically all of the opinion that it is not contagious, and I do not believe there will be any danger in your taking over the housework in the family you write about. There is not much dan- ger of a person contracting cancer if i he lives upon the correct diet and uses enough exercises to maintain good health. (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.)
