CHICAGO Y New TORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) NEW NAMES FOR INFANTS IN BOLSHEVIK RUSSIA Since the Bolshevik revolution, patriotic Russian par- ents have taken to name their children “Revolutzia,” to signify their faith in the great social upheaval that was ‘to provide a new life for millions of Russians. fore they went to the Klondike they lived humdrum, ae exciting lives, and after they came back they met fail- | ure, bad luck and slid into the poor farm; but for a) short time they were among the fortunate ones of the | earth. | There is more to that than you might think. For why, | after all, do men go to the dark corners of the earth } to join in gold rushes? To get rich? Partly; but that is not all of it. There is a challenge in things like the | Klondike gold rush. The old pioneer saying—"the | cowards never came, and the weak ones died along the | way”—applied with great force to the trail of 98. The) {man who went to the Klondike, lived there amid its | {incredible rigors, and came out alive, had been tested | as few men are tested. He had lived more intensely than his stay-at-home fellows would ever live in a century. And that is the main thing. Men do not want riches | nearly so much as they want intense living. These 16 | men from the poor farm had that, at least—and, hav- ing had it, are richer than many a man who looks on them with pity. THAT STRONG PARENTAL ARM An Indiana judge, before whom appeared two small | boys charged with the theft of $18 from a filling sta- | tion, waxed eloquent on the decay of parental disci- pline. Said he: “What you boys need is more rigid discipline at home. If you were my boys I'd get a 15-foot elm pole and I'd wear it off clear to the handle on both of you.” This judicial dictum, doubtless, will strike a popular chord. Yet it occurs to us that the judge is a bit con- fused. Proper home discipline does not, by any manner of means, go hand in hand with corporal punishment. All that any man has to go on in this connection is | his own memory. And we can recall many boyhood playmates who were extremely well-behaved but who | were not paddled from one year's end to another. And Now, however, a writer in the Review of Reviews points out that a new name is being given Russian infants— be ‘tsia"—which means, when translated, nothing more or less than “electrification.” And the shift is rather significant. Tt indicates, perhaps, that whereas it was once the revélution that seemed to be the great harbinger of hope to all Russians, it is now electricity that occupies that position. Electricity, to be sure, is in its essence even more mysterious and incalculable than the forces of re- volt; yet it is something that can be harnessed, controlled ‘and put to work—which all too often is not the case with @ revolution. ‘The Soviet leaders themselves seem to recognize this. ‘They have an elaborate water-power program under way; by the end of the year they will have increased their nation’s electrical output 800 per cent over that of six years ago, and the Dnieper river hydro-electric plant, now under construction, will be the largest in all of Europe. So “Electrificatzia” replaces “Revolutzia” as the popular name for the children of forward-looking Russians, and the land of the Bolsheviks gets a new symbol of hope. ‘The mass of Russians were miserable under the Czar, and are just about as miserable under the Soviets. Yet their country, potentially, is one of the richest in the ‘world. The water-power program symbolizes the be- ginning of the development of that richnese—which probebly will do more for the comfort and happiness of the average Russian than a dozen revolutions. ‘We in the United States have the same attitude, whether we know it or not. In a presidential election, what sort of man do we look for? One who is, above all, “safe”; one who will be busy and efficient but who will make no innovations, inaugurate no new and start- ling policies, cause no upsets in the things that are. Yet which of our great corporations would look for a man with just those qualifications? Not one. They want doers—men who have new and surprising ideas and who fare not afraid to put them into practice. In other words, we realize that business and industry are more important than statecraft. We can worry along with an inactive president, but not with an inactive industrialist. Which, boiled down, means that we look for our advancement in the field of business instead of } Probably we are right. Machines have remade the ‘world. salvation, or a good part of it, must come from live “Electrificatzia"!

It is about time to stop insisting that all our ills would be solved if more children were only flogged. ‘A NOTABLE RECORD Every American who ever contributed funds to Near East relief can take pride in the figures presented by that organization as it surrenders its charter and withdraws from active existence. In the past ten years Near East relief saved 1,500,000 lives, gave relief and education to 132,000 orphaned chil- dren, furnished medical assistance to 6,000,000 persons and fed 12,500,000 in times of famine. ‘That is a record probably unique in world history. The men and women in charge of the work, as well as the) countless thousands of people who contributed the funds that made it possible, can take extreme pride in it. ar Editorial Comment | THE EXAMPLE OF ALFRED E. SMITH (Minneapolis Journal) Samuel 8. Fleisher, Chairman of Philadelphia's Com- mittee on Child Welfare and Recreation, reports that twenty-five thousand children in the older sections of the Pennsylvania metropolis are living in conditions that are “unbelievable in modern American life and such that normal child life is impossible.” Perhaps Mr. Fleisher is unduly alarmed. Not that these conditions are desirable, or that living under them gives a child as good a chance as he might otherwise | have. But being born and reared in a shabby house, | mostly devoid of modern conveniences, on a shabby street | in a drab neighborhood, is not necessarily a blighting iP, nor does such an environment make “normal child life” impossible. If Mr. Fleisher doubts, let him read “Up to Now,” the autobiography of Alfred E. Smith, now running in the Saturday Evening Post. There were no model homes in Al Smith's neighborhood; no playgrounds, parks, recrea- tion supervisors. Bathtubs were few. Outside interfer- ence with parents bringing up their own children was rare. Yet Al Smith managed to have a pretty good time, de- spite the hard work that fell to his lot at an early age. And he developed to an amazing extent the admirable traits that were inherently his, the fruits of good an- cestral stock and good home influence. Good home in- fluence can shine in a tenement, or in a log cabin just as warmly as in a model home. Conversely, the absence of good home influence can work just as disastrously in a fine dwelling as in a hovel. Today's hit-and-run driver with a flask in his pocket comes from one just as often as from the other. So does the murderer in the death Our purpose here is not to dispute Mr. Fleisher's con- tention that the twenty-five thousand children crowded into ramshackle old buildings on Philadelphia's back streets would be better off in more attractive environ- ment. But we do believe that, if they have good stuff in them, and good parental influence, they can rise above their environment. They are not necesserily robbed of their rightful heritage of juvenile happiness, nor are their lives necessarily blighted. Get rid of the slum conditions that exist in Phila- delphia and other cities, by all means. But don't din into the ears of the children living amid such surround- ings the false doctrine that a faulty environment pre- destines them to failure, or worse. A LIFE THROWN AWAY «Princeton, Minnesota, Union) | A real tragedy occurred in this county. | A young boy 17 years of age armed himself with a| revolver, took a car under false pretenses, drove over to the neighboring village of Sandstone and held up one of the banks there. The report of that robbery would make any thinking Person simply heartsick. That boy, according to all re- Ports, had been reared in an honest, respectable home and had been carefully watched over by a fond father The family is in decidedly modest circumstances, but the boy had been given the privilege of receiving a com- school education and last year attended the high school in Milaca. It is simply every chance he has of happiness in this life. The penalty for the crime that boy committed is a life sentence in the penitentiary. It would be excecd- ingly unkind to refer to the misfortune'that has befallen that lad if there was not a valuable object lesson in it for some other boys right here in this community and THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 | ‘Good Morning, Teacher!’ food Morning, Teacher? | KS) ‘ALLENE SUMNER, The 18-day diet continues to ret | honorable mention as one of our na- tion's current phenomsna.

He reminded them that it was one thing for a woman to see any value in a law of the church and another thing when it was the current secular fad. This reminder that most religious laws are based on old, old hygienic discoveries, the attempts of those who went long before us to work out the best code for human living, is inter- esting. x * * SEPARATE VACATIONS Just why Dr. M. Sayle Taylor, de scribed as “a noted physiologist,” | should break into print for saying that husbands and wives should have at least two weeks separate vacations each year is beyond me.

S. ities The Missouri river is now said to| If they are playing, he joggles the} table or makes clever derogatory re- marks which soon bring down on him the wrath of all concerned. Most of his time is spent waiting idly for grownups to give him rides in their ears and buy him candy and ice cream cones. He is not liked by the other chil- dren and he is not happy. As he grows clder and his inadequacy be- comes more and more apparent he will be even more profoundly un- happy. How are you training your child? Vill he be a contributor and justly win his way to a fair degree of pop- ularity among his fellows, or will he be an unhappy noncontributor, driven to wise cracks and destruct- ivencss by his need for some sort of attention? Train your child while he is little to get satisfaction out of doing things. Your attitude toward his |first efforts to build and make and \do in the limited world of his home will do much to determine his atti- tude toward all activity in the fu- ture. If early in childhood he can learn to get satisfaction from doing things, it will never desert him, He will have, as a part of his make up, at least one trait which is essential to social ad- justment. At school, children quite uncon- iously rate each other on the basis of the contribution each is able to make to their common work and \play. Help your child to a good ad- justment at school by teaching him from the very start to be a good contributor. An elevator operator in Enid, Okla, has discovered a new use for an airplane propeller.

Blanching of some food is to be rec- ommended. This means to immerse the food in boiling water. Berries and soft fruits are not blanched, and greens are handled by hanging in a hammock of cheese cloth over the boiler with the lid on tightly. In foods in which there is a rapid heat penetration, such as string beans and asparagus, it is advisable to pack them cold. However, in foods such as corn and lima beans in which there is a slow heat penetration, it is better to pack them in the jars hot. This will save a great deal of waiting time, since they will boil much more quickly and also heat through the center of the jar in less time. After blanching, plunging in cold water will loosen the skins and set the color, especially with tomatoes, peaches, beets and carrots. Before packing, see that the jars, themselves, are washed and rinsed and that the rubbers are new and clean. For vege- tables and fruits, add hot water. It is not necessary to use syrups with the canned fruits. Fill the jars with the fruit cr vegetables and add the hot water to one half inch of the top, put on a new scalded rubber, screw the top on tight, and then twist the top back a half turn. Boil the entire can in hot water which covers the jar for at least two inches above the top. It is generally necessary to use a wash boiler in order to have the water deep enough. After immersing the can in the hot water, put the lid on the boiler and boil for from two to four hours. After removing the jars from the boiler immediately tighten the cover, turn the jars upside down, and watch to see if there is any leak- age. After an hour or two when the jars have cooled and you find there are no leaks, put them away in a cool, dry place. Greens should be cooked about two hours, peas, beets and carrots about two and a half hours, string beans and lima beans three hours, and corn four hours. Tomatoes require the shortest cooking time, which should be about twenty-five minutes. A new process which is now used is called “oven canning.” The foods are packed in their jars, set on a tray in the oven, and the housewife calmly goes her way and accomplishes other things while her faithful oven does the canning. However, it is almost necessary to use an oven with a regu- lated heat controller in order to keep the heat uniform over the long cook- UOTATIO “The present generation of college men is, I believe, on the whole cleaner, more intelligent, more interesting, more promising than their predeces- sors of a generation ago.”—Edward McShane Waits, president Texas Christian University. “The business of a soldier is to end war and not to begin it.”—Viscount Lascelles, “I find that many presidents have joined the ranks of fishermen only af- ter their inauguration, but I claim 45 years of apprenticeship.”—President Hoover. “Marriage is a great institution— for those who like institutions.”—!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FASTING Question: Reader writes: “When you speak of fasting, do you mean that a person having mental ‘work should do with absolutely no food on those days, or should some liquid, euch as fruit juice be taken if one keeps at work’ Answer: I usually recommend a fruit fast rather than e@ plain water fast. It seems to me that patients eliminate better while taking the fruit juices. Of course, there is some stim- ulation from the fruit sugar which makes it easier for one to keep on with his work while taking the fast, Lettuce Question: K. J. writes: “When I eat a large amount of lettuce it makes me sleepy. Why is this so?” Answer: Lettuce contains a certain hypnotic agent called “hyoscyaminc,” and when this vegetable is used in great quantities it does produce drowsiness to a certain degree which causes a slowing up of the digestive Process. Those whose digestive pow- ers are not strong should use lettuce in small quantities, as these ill effects are not at all proncunced if lettuce is used in only moderate amounts. Tapeworm Question: R. G. D. asks: “Will you kindly publish the symptoms of tape- worm, and what to do?” Answer: There are no definite symptoms of tapeworm which can be depended on. Sometimes the patient loses weight, and has a ferocious ap- Petite, but this is not always the case. If you suspect you have a tapeworm, I suggest that you go to your drug- gist and have him give you a tape- worm remedy. Then watch the stools. There are many kinds of intestinal worms besides the tapeworm, and some of the others will produce trouble such as nervousness, rectal itching, nausea, etc. KConyeent 1929, The Bell Syndicate, inc.)

The city was first given the na- tive name of Dootigola, but was aft- erward changed to Melbourne in hon- or of Viscount Melbourne, premier of Great Britain. In 1841 the popula- tion had leaped to 11,000 and scarce- ly more than a decade later the dis- covery of the Ballarat gold field brought such an influx of adventur- ers that the town increased rapidly in size and had a population of 100,- 000 in 1842, Today it has the largest popula- Ition of any Australian city (about 743,000 in 1919) and occupies a high rank among British overseas ports. Melbourne is an important manu- facturing town and commercial cen- ter. Almost the entire commerce © fthe state is carried on there, the chief ex; being wool, hides, cat- tle, gol ver, and sheep.
