The Chest had 1 the decision of the people | of Bismarck in nize such a d and thus eliminate the various scattered drives for welfare activ | | itfes and co-ordinate them, thereby also assuring intelli- gent supervision over the various activities and including | @ survey of their needs and expenditures. Under the Community Chest plan not one dollar is ) allowed to any welfare agency except upon the approval, P first, of the budget committee, and, next, that of the of directors of the Chest. The chairman of the | Budget committee is J. L. Bell, vice president of the First ) National bank. Other members of the committee are outstanding business and professional people of tie com- munity. Each activity must submit to the budget com- mittee a request accompanicd by an itemized proposed budget, as well as an itemized statement of income and F outgo for the past two years. The budget committee then hhears the parties and carefully determines what each ac- tivity ought to be allowed, bearing in mind not only the needs of the activity, but the reasonable demands that may be made upon the community. In addition to the supervision by the budget committee | ) and the board of directors, the Community Chest itself B and cach of the participating agencies are examined annually by the state examiner. The reports of the ex- miner are public, available for inspection at any time ‘and copies arc handed to the press. No such safeguards existed under the old system where each organization Went out to g2t what it could and with no onc outside of these interesicd in the particular activity making any » check of how it was spont. The activities supported by the Chest are the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Women's Community council, the Girl Scouts, the Campfire Girls, the Juvenile »/ band, the Boy Scouts, Boys Weliare Work body and | Community Christmas cclebration. In addition to these ) kecal organizations the Chest also makes contributions to ; the Plorence Crittenton Home, the North Dakota Chil- 4) dren's Home, St. John's Orphanage and the North Da- _ kota House of Mercy. ‘These institutions ar~ located at Fargo, but they do a statewide work and each of them is now and has been for years caring for unfortunate girls and children from Bis- marck and vicinity; and prior to the organization of the nest sed ie thereby al ing some of the idiencss which ts such a | presting and socialistic proviem in the British isles.

Themas, for instance, ‘ove to effect a working agree- ment with the Canadian National railway, whereby the | roed would purchase its coal, supplies from England rather than from the United States. There does not to be any economic obilgation as affecting this sountry that would stand in the way of such acquiescence.

Bigotry Humiliates Boston Puritan Boston where the sale of some books is ctn- sored as criminal, the judgment upon the morality of the works being vested in the authority of bigotry rather than in that catholicity which should be the censor’s claim to his function, has covered itself with humiliation by barring Eugene O'Neill's play, “Strange Interlude.” No sooner had Boston waved the play from its doors than Minneapolis welcomed it and pronounced it an in- offensive portrayal of some of the psychological aspects of life. Two censors were assigned to sit in and study the ninc-act comedy and report whether it violated moral considerations. They acquitted the play of all the suspicions which in Boston were held against it and caused the Hub to shoo it away. Boston's attitude, in effect, was boorish as well as old- maidish. “Strange Interlude” had been given for months in New York and had evoked no qualms or squeamishness. New York, however, has a mentality vastly different from that of Boston. It is not narrow on matters theatrical or literary and prefers to be natural rather than repress normal instincts, Other cities also accepted the play as an eligible picce of dramaturgy and hailed it, whether large or small centers of population, as a foremost work of art. Thus, Boston, a few years ago the center of American culture and liberalism, emphasized its fall from that high stand- ing into the depths of ethical intolerance without like in all the country over. To Serve Yourself Solomon Levitan, state treasurer of Wisconsin, recently fave some advice to a group of young bank employes in Milwaukee that might well be passed on to all young men who are just beginning their business careers. “You cannot do everything your desires indicate,” Mr. tion depends on your habits, your courteous treatment of customers, your efficiency and above all upon your hon- esty. Success in banking means self-denial and self-con- trol. You learn that the best interests of your employer are your interests, and it is your duty to protect them. When you give your best service to the bank and to its customers, you are serving yourself best.” We cugeest that that paragraph is worth the attention in a factory. Weather forecast: More summer, followed by autumn. Miller Huggins (Devils Lake Journal) Devils Lake bascball fans have something more than a passing interest in the life of Miller Huggins, the little pilot of the New York Yankees, who died yesterday. Old timers recall Huggins when he played with Lakota, Levitan told the future bank presidents. “Your promo- | of every young man, whether he be working in a bank or | AG Psychologists now are measuring sex variations to determine just how much the sexes overlap in their traits. In the current issue of “Time,” a Paragraph on this subject states that there are 908 points on which men and women differ according to their interests, trends, emotional reactions, preferences, aversions. “One out of 100 men is more fem- inine than the average woman,” it states. “And one woman out of 100 is more masculine than the average man. “Living with a woman for a period of years accentuates a man’s fem- inine characteristics.” se * THUNDER FOR FEMINISTS ‘This seems to prove that it is wom- en's own fault if their husbands grow soft as the years increase! | Much more important, however, is one conclusion that could be defended quite easily, it seems to me. That is, that since living with a man does not increase a woman's masculinity, wom- an is the norm and therefore should be more important in a civilization than man. Sentimentalists may argue that she | is. “Mother,” “Wife,” “Sister,” “Daughter,” all have their haloes, about them. But that is not what I mean. Considering facts and not fancies, it is a man’s world still. I think of the inequalities of women working, unequal pay, unequal oppor- tunities, the inadequate protection | economically that women have dur- | ing period of childbirth, the double burdens they carry working with fam- ilies. | It seems to me that in these psy- | chological statistics there is thunder for any feminist who wants to start agitating for mother's insurance and allsequal scat pean FLOWERY REUNION The importance of home's early in- fluence was illustrated charmingly the other day. A man who grew up in the country where his father had a passion for flowers and transmitted it to his two sons and two nephews who lived with him, got some tickets for a dahlia Rounding a corner re the prize dahlia lifted its gorgeous head, these two bumped into two men they had not seen in years, and had even lost track of, the erstwhile nephews who ; lived with them as children. All were | delighted that their early love of | flowers had united them. A family reunion was held soon after at the farm where the old man now lives. * % * THE NATIONAL FLOWER The subject of dahlias brings up a Point I have considered often. That is the appropriateness of making the dahlia the national American flower. Few persons at all interested in flowers can fail to realize the fad, I might almost say “mania,” dahlias have become all over the country. In @ given organization I know that has about two dozen employes, there are at least six men who talk colors, size and names of the dahlias they raise. In the second place, what could be more American than the way dahlias have made a business of bigness? Flowers that were wont to be tiny | garden blocms now measure 12 to 20 inekes across their faces. If bigger and better dahlias are not appropri- ete as symbols of bigger and better America, I don't know what is. In the third place dahlias already have begun to influence Americans. The popular colors for costumes are dahlia shades. Lastly, it seems to me dahlias have some characteristics that are truly American. They are sturdy, happy, not at all exotic look- ing, and, wherever they started, cer- tainly flourish in this country. Doesn't this all sound convincing? “{ BARBS Many people are keeping the new bills as souvenirs, say treasury of- fictals.

PROMPTNESS (By Alice Judson Peale) Four days out of five Jerry cer- tainly would have been late to school had he not been shepherded by his mother. As it was, she had become past mas- ter in the art of personal service while Jerry found agreeable a system that relieved him of all responsibility and gave him at the same time a pleatant feeling of his mother’s concentration upon him. For the first four years Jerry never once got off to school in the morning without help. By the time he was 10 it became increasingly clear to his mother that he really ought to be re- sponsible for his own promptness. Repeatedly she told him so, but the only resulting difference in the morning's routine was that it now was made unpleasant by nagging. At last Jerry’s mother delivered an ultimatum. She refused any longer to be responsible for his promptness. She gave him an alarm clock and told his breakfast always would be ready for him at eight—the rest was his affair. Then she went to school with him and explained the new ar- rangement to his teacher. If in the ; future he came tardy she was to deal directly with Jerry, as from now on ae assuming the entire responsi- y. The first weeks of the new regime taxed the mother's self control. scramble through breakfast with an anxious eye on the clock. But the arrangement worked —not perfectly, but surprisingly well. Gradually and on his own, Jerry learned to get to school on time. of radios’ Dealer: I believe it is, but it show. He called up his old father who have lost their bails on the course before fame came his way. Always a fighter, the little giant refused to quit until his strength failed under him—a great tribute to the man’s faith in the sport which is America’s great pastime.

When alone as a complete meal, clabbered milk is palatable and it tends to give the digestive organs a slight rest. Sour milk and sour milk diets are widely used, not only in America and Europe, but in Persia, Turkey, Siberia, Cape Colony and South Africa. Some eat soured milk because they enjoy it, some because they believe it of value in cvercoming intestinal troubles, and sce, in the hot countries, because it is impossible to keep sweet milk. There is, however, no definite proof thet scur milk is superior to sweet mit fer the average person. All milk souring comes as a result of the lactic acid created by fer- mentation. In buttermilk, this acid when it takes its time, and when the: cresm is ready, the housewife separ- ates the butter from the milk by caurning. It is certainly true that a glass of frech buttermilk just out of a cool churn has a delicious flavor if the milk has been kept clean and is net tco cld. Much Nuttermilk is used in Ireland and Scotland, and it has been estimated that a pint of the av- erage buttermilk has abcut the same nutritional value as two and a half ounces of dried beef. It is easily di- gested and certainly a cheap form of protein. Because of its acid content, however, it should not be used with bread or other starchy foods, and is best used by itself or in combination with the sweet fruits, such as dates, figs, prunes and raisins. In making buttermilk generally sold as such, the cream is separated and buttermilx cultures are added to sour it, when it is then emulsified to cut the curd. Real buttermilk, however, has a much richer flavor. Kumiss is a form of sour milk used by the Tartars on the southern steppes cf Rucsia. It is made from a lactic acid fermentation of mare's milk. The process, which takes sev- eral days, produces some alcohol and the milk will foam and have about the same fermented content as light r. Yeghoort, a fermented milk used in Turkey and Persia, is made from sheep or cow’s milk which is first boiled down to concentrate it and then inoculated by adding sour milk containing the bacillus lacticus. Lemon milk is a kind of sour which I can highly can be made at | is allowed to work naturally, that is, | ten enjoy it. every time it is used this form of milk diet may be found valuable and even su- Perior to other types of sour milk.
