CHICAGO NEW YORK BOS’ IN tate and County Newspaper) EMANCIPATION ATTACKS CLOTHES Signs are not wanting that this summer may have sown the seed of dress reform for men, that in the} succeeding summers man may be accorded the tolerance that permits women to dress comfortably while he goes about in sweltering wear, fearing to break some ikon of conservatism if he attempts to cloth himself in accord | with the temperature—as he does in winter. ‘The first line trenches of stuffy clothes seem to have een charged by the scattered attacks here and there under the guise of clownishness which led long-suffering men to pioneer the new cause in pajamas in public. That was swinging the pendulum too far. But it always is that way with reforms. First comes the radical uprising against the old order, but after that first ebullition, society ebbs again and in the backwash of its own crup- tion, it settles down to some advanced position between the old and the new extremes. That then becomes the new order. With an optimism that can hardly be expected to be- come general, Editor W. O. Saunders, high priest of the pajama cult, announces that a prominent manufacturer will undertake to introduce pajamas for male strect wear next summer. But it will take more than a sales cam- paign to put the idea over. A great deal of preliminary groundwork will have to be done before we will be will- ing to rush into the stores in response to this appeal to our yearnings for hot-weather comfort. ‘The fact—painful or otherwise—is that we men are filled with a becoming modesty for which no one has given us credit. With that modesty of ours the tradi- tional modesty of women can brook no comparison. Although the point may not have been formally made ere this, we are beyond question the modest sex. Genesis fails to report which of our original parents ‘was first to be covered, but there can be little doubt that Adam led the way to the fig orchard. And ever since, ‘womankind appears to have been tempting us back into our initial state, only to be baffled by our stern and unshakable adherence to the conviction that the less seen of the human body the better. And there we stand today. What right-thinking man, except in the privacy of hispoudoir, cares to be seen with his neck and throat dates +a? How often does one of us cut off his trousers Chicag e knees and wear them thus to the office? Or Yet ag geSt Woman does all these things, while we of the ‘ecorous sex suffer heat prostration and even death to preserve our standards of decency. Thus, it is going to be a heck of a job to get us to parade publicly in garments heretofore reserved for the bedroom. The ordinary gent, finding himself on Main street clad in pajamas, would not only blush furiously, but would also rush frantically to the nearest shelter. Of course Editor Saunders, who regularly wears them in hot weather, is no ordinary man. ‘The first step in the pajama cult’s preliminary propa- ganda ought to be emphatically the fact that ordinary pajamas, of which the bottom of the coat doesn't reach down far enough to tuck into the pants, are not sug- gested. We understand that the street-wear pajama coats are to be both long and conservative in pattern. The next point to be emphasized is that while the well- dressed man may dispense with underwear while wearing pajamas at home, it will be both wise and de rigeur to include it when he steps out. It will be much easier to make converts if they realize that they will have a lower layer of protection. But, of course, what we really need to spread the use of street pajamas in hot weather is some kind of a law. Not @ law requiring the wearing of pajamas on hot days, but a law more insidiously effective. Consider the way the Argentines worked it out. They passed a law in Buenos Aires under which any man sppearing on the street without a coat was thrown into the hoosegow. Now most of us red-blooded Americans ‘are too modest to go about coatless. But if there were a law against it we would be hotter than ever and would seek some way to evade it even if-we dared not disobey it. ‘Well, that's just what the Argentines did. Today at least half the men in Argentina are wearing pajama coats instead of their suit coats. Buenos Aires newspapers bitterly lament that the pajema coat has become the national dress. Factories turn out a half dozen pajama coats for every pair of pajama pants. Of course a similar law in this country would only solve half the problem, Editor Saunders and his fellow enthusiasts want us to wear both sections of the pajama suit. Why should one-half of us be free and airy and the other half hot and uncomfortable? Obvicusly, we must also have a law requiring all men on the streets to wear pants! DELAYING THE AIRPORT = | on the rail lines paid for their neglect and short-sighted- | earlier enthusiasm here for aviation development. It will | some of the spirit they are putting into this great na- law by which the city can acquire an airport and of | the preliminary steps taken to apply that law, it might be well to do something definite soon. In the old days when railroads were being established, towns which trifled with the opportunity to become important points ness in obscurity or, at least, in dwarfed importance. There is a wide open space between the Twin Citics and Great Falls and some of this space belongs to the future development of Bismarck as an air point. It is! hardly wise to neglect that development too long. The arca referred to is the largest undeveloped territory as to air flight. At this end and at Washington efforts should be redoubled to wipe out that questionable dis- tinction. The air derby of this week-en® should reawaken the if the citizens come in contact with the flyers and catch tional development—the commercial conquest of the air. CITIZENSHIP AT A PRICE In the old days it cost the alien $5, in all, to go through the red tape required to become a citizen of the United States. It now costs $20, at the least, and $35 if the the alien in question came into this country be- fore June 3, 1921. Themas B. Shoemaker, assistant commissioner of naturalization, regards this as a moderate fec. Says he: “It seems to me that $35 is a small fee for the chance to become a citizen.” Well, yes and no. Perhaps if the alien is strictly on the make, if he came to this country for purely business reasons, he will regard $35 as a small entry charge. Occasionally one reads in the paper that some farm boy from Ruscia has just bought a $2,000,000 apartment house and expects to build four more like it. To charge such immigrants $35 is poor business. The percentage Is too low. But there are immigrants who never make fortunes; who, like most Americans, work hard throughout their lives and barely manage to make both ends mect. To them the charge of $35 would seem to be a hardship. Perhaps there should be some sort of sliding scale in this matter. Senator Smoot could doubtless work one out. But it scems to us that Mr. Shoemaker makes a mis- take even to attempt to put a price-tag on the privilege of American citizenship. If citizenship is cheap at $35, what price should be placed upon the right to be born here? What does Mr. Shoemaker think would be a good price to pay for an ancestry reaching back to the revo- lution? What is the quotation on a college education or a pure heart? Another good thing about airplane travel. Very few of the passengers seem to have the banana habit. An inhibition is something you want to do but won't. The exact opposite, for example, of spinach. Things even up. Many a feminine head is swelled by the smallness of the feet. You see, we need cruisers enough to outscrap other nations either way. Editorial Comment | SENATOR NYE’S ADDRESS (Grand Forks Herald) Senator Nye made a good impression in his address before the Grand Forks service clubs on Wednesday. He discussed important phases of farm legislation in a manner which showed that he had devoted carnest study to the subject, and his treatment was moderate and temperate. Disagreeing squarely from many others in the conception of what farm legislation should be, and declaring his disappointment that plans which he favored had not been put into effect, he was nevertheless frank in his approval of the present farm bill as a measure honestly intended and calculated to be helpful if admin- istered in the right spirit. He indicated confidence in the purpose of the members of the farm board to make the law an effective instrument for the benefit of agri- culture. He was equally frank in his censure of the tariff bill who voted for the bill when the question became that of passing or rejecting it as a whole, and said that he was not prepared to say that he would not vote for it when the time comes for the senate to express itself on the measure. His criticism was directed at the departure of the framers of the bill from the purpose for which the extra session was called, that of providing for beneficial | farm legislation. He admits that the bill has meritorious features. His fear is that these features will be more than offset by other features which are quite distinct from the original purpose of the session. Mr. Nye’s discussion was necessarily limited as to time, and his reference to comparative railway rates in the United States and Canada was brief. In a more com- Plete discussion it would have been necessary to treat of some of the causes for the lower rates in Canada. All of the Canadian railways except the Canadian Pacific are owned and operated by the Canadian government. They are exempt from taxation, and their deficits, which have been quite regular until very recently, have been paid out of the national treasury, all the people paying in taxes what some of the people, as shippers, have not been re- quired to pay in freight charges. As to the Canadian Pacific, though it is privately owned, it enjoys partial tax exemption, and it has received from the government valuable subsidies in cash, lands and constructed road. Allowance for these facts must be made in comparing the two systems. COSTS LESS TO ‘STEP ON IT’ (Boston Evening Transcript) It is one of the anomalies of a very queer summer that with the motoring season at its height and with every state except one levying a gas tax, the retail price of gasoline should rule at practically the lowest figure in the last 11 years, and 2.63 cents lower than the average for that period. This condition is, of course, the delight of the motorist, as it is the despair of the producer of that indis; commodity. Whether the imposition of the gallon tax, which runs as high as six cents in some states, has exercised any effect in reducing the first cost of gasoline to the ultimate consumer mey be a question, for over-production is understood to be the real cause of the slump in the industry. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the steady decline of retail prices corresponds very closely with the continuous piling up of the taxes; leav- ing the charitable-minded to infer, if they please, that the great oll companies have thought it good business to come some distance to the aid of the consumer. Early in 1928, gasoline sold at about 24 cents. The price advanced a trifle about the time of the signing of the armistice, then in the latter part of 1920 shot up to its highest figure in the last decade, almost 32 cents, ! ‘Two years ago Bismarck made a reputation for air- mindedness by the way it handled the reception of the Spokane air derby racers on their stop here for re- fueling. In the words of Major John T. Fancher, man- eger of that air derby, the flyers got the best service here on the entire route. Bismarck was picked again this time as a control station for the Portland-Cleveland race of Cleveland’s - mational air derby. It was chosen because of the reputa- tion it made in the former air races, The flyers who stopped off here left with the feeling that this was one with only a very few states imposing @ tax. As the taxes grew more numerous, the price slumped, and fell below 18 cents at the end of 1923 with the 17 cents without tax. 4 IF YOU WEAR, THOSE ON THE SPREET Li GO CANCELED HIS ORDER, BECAUSE HE SAW You WBARING PAIAMAS IN PUBLIC TO-DAY!

Doctors are equally familiar with the fact that many diseases, such as paralysis, mental disorders, and digestive disturbances, may be caused by suggestion, fear, or other Powerful emotions. It is undoubtedly true that the mind has a tremendous influence upon our well being. Many are com- ing to realize that they can power- fully influence themselves by auto- suggestion. The mind naturally plays around in the storehouse of mem- ories, and if this storehouse is stocked | with pictures of health and well being, ene is constantly receiving suggestions for good; but, on the other hand, if the mind is continually contracting thoughts of disease and disease ymptoms, the suggestions received are enervating and detrimental.

Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. mark off the gassy foods I should not eat. I am enclosing a list.” Answer: As you did not give mc your name and address I could no‘. send you a direct answer, so will merely name those foods you have listed which are often found to be gas producers with those who have this tehdency: Brown or white breads, potatoes, apple pie, cake, por- ridge, lettuce, beets, bananas, peas, corn and chocolate. Diet in Amenia Question: G. F. asks: “What is a good diet for an anemic person?” Answer: The first thing to remem- ber is that anemic patients must nct be stuffed with an excess of food. At the start of treatment a fruit diet will do more than any other diet“to bring the blood back to normal. After the fruit diet, all meals should be carefully balanced, using a reason- able amount of all the different food substances. As soon as the toxemia which produces anemia is thrown out of the system, the body will be able to get the benefit of any good food. : Is Starch Necessary Question: K. G. writes: “My meals are mostly milk and fruit, or a pro- tein and vegetable. I am afraid I do not get enough starch. Does the body require a definite amount of starch, and will I suffer on account of the small amount I take in?” Answer: I do not believe it is necessary to use any highly starchy foods at all in the diet. Of course, there is always a small amount found in the non-starchy vegetables. Car- nivorous animals get along very well without starch and sugar, and under certain forced circumstances men have lived for years under practically an exclusive meat diet. Don’t worry about not getting enough starch; the chances are you will get too much rather than too little. Hi Blood Pressure Question: S. D. writes: “My wife is suffering from high blood pressure. Some of the doctors tell us it cannot be cured. Would appreciate your | advice.” Answer: The cause is due either to hardening of the arteries, or ar- terial tension, and most cases can be cured by diet alone. If you will send me your name and address I will be glad to forward additional informa- tion on this subject. mE Me DSSS WASHINGTON BURNED On the evening of August 24, 1814, British troops entered Washington and burned the United States cap- itol, department buildings and white | house. The vandalism was made pos- | sible by the ridiculous unprepared- | ness for defense of the administra- tion in Washington. Landing of 4,000 British troops under General Ross at Benedict, in Maryland, created a panic in the na- tion’s capital. Requisitions for militia were hastily sent to neighboring states and all the troops in the vicinity were mustered out. The Americans selected Bladenburg as the place to meet the enemy, and toward this spot {there flowed an absurd array of clerks, secretaries, cabinet officers, the president himself, militia, the regulars and 400 sailors. It was the presence of these fight- ing sailors alone that made the con- flict worthy of the name of a bat- tle. Undismayed by the flight of their friends, the sailors made a firm resistance until the British got in the rear and they were compelled ili dead when it wanes, | OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern | FWY “You OUGHTA BE“? 1\Va- Bur, HANG (T,AVERY we my ~?
