The v of the Bismarck high school football team is a corr ion. In both in: aces the value of leadership was demon- strated. No department of boy welfare lacks that in Bis- marcel. The Sco led by stafi of self-sacrificing Sponsors from the district head down to the last of the troop leaders. ‘The high school football team is under the capable direction of Coach McLeod.

For the present, the football team is the big factor in the activities of Bismarci’s youth, The season is on and @ relative championship i; to be established by the rec the team will make. So for this record is hopeful for giv. ing the city the outstanding team of the state. Last Year the cicven was one of the leaders and, in a way, might have been considered a champion, enly that de- cision is rot made in North Dakota. - ‘The whole nation is interested in this autumnal game. ‘The results of the big college are followed with inordinate interest. Enthusiasm is especially high in the Northwest. It would seem that in Bismarck thi nthusiastic in- terest should be divided between the big tei and the home high school eleven. Why give the emphasis to the college and university teams to the neglect of the young- eters of the high school? The colicge game, to be sure, is more spectacular, It hhas the huge crowds, tise “color"—what ever would we do without that word?—the faultlessly ending ballyhoo, But the high peal all its own. It reaches inside of you and takes hold of your heart and tugs at it, somehow, in a way that col- lege football never does. Just why it should be so different is hard to explain Perhaps it is because the high school youngsters, both in the stands and one the field, represent youth at its very best—unspoiled and unsophisticated. They have not yet reached the point where they are sfraid that unfetiered enthusiasm may make tiem a bit ridiculous, . The game itself, of course, is not as entertaining, tech- Mically, as a college game. The players make more mis- takes, The 15-year-old qui rhacks do not always exer- tise good judgment. The tackling is apt to be a bit ragged. The 7 asad on end runs and off-tackle smashes frequently goes astray. But, after all, who cares? There is a do-or-die spirit that makes up for all crrors. Players and spectators alike are on fire with energy. The atmosphere is electric. There is one queer feature about watching a high school game, though. Before the thing is over you are apt to find a mist coming into your eyes now and then, @ lump rising to clog your throat, For the high school kids have something that we older ones have pretty well lost—something that they them- selves will losc in a few years. They have enthusiasm. They are able to make of the crossing of a white-washed Jine an event as important as the World war. They can 6cream themselves into exhaustion simply because a lad Mamed Spriggs or O'Hare is able to run 10 to 40 yards (without being knocked down. Now this youthful enthusiasm is going to be spoiled in @ few years. It can't last. But while it lasts its possi- Dilities are infinite. These youngsters, if they only knew ft, have the world in their hands. They could make it ver. They are so much better than we older ones; so ‘much more alive, so much wiser. Don't go to a high school football game with con- @escension in your heart. You aren't worth it. No adult 4s entitled to look down on any youth. Go, instead, ready to learn something—ready to learn how fine and loyal and ecstatic our American youngsters are. They may shame you, but they'll hearten you, too. If they could only learn, as they grow older, not to listen to us, their elders, they could transform the nation. youth, flected Fire Prevention Week This is Fire Prevention week, a time set aside to reflect ‘on the costly peril of flame. In this country, it is cal- culated, fire does a damage totaling approximately (8509,000,000 a year. Bismarck needs a week like this to think about fire.

But this writer makes one re- | mark that is worth noticing, because it s¢oms to be held by a considerable number of well-meaning citizens a communism,” he asks, “ever cacciie y means than dhysical force?” Let's dig into history on that one. When Louis XVI was king of France, there came to Versailics one day a ragged, foctsore delegation of peas- ants and workingmen, They weren't exactly communist —that term hadn't been invented then; they were very |Poor, very hungry and out-at-the-heels, very poorly | schooled and very, very sick of grinding poverty and bleak | misery. | They came to Versailles to protest—to call upon the kint to make their lot a little bit lighter, somehow; to see to it that they could earn enough money to live de- cently and avoid starvation and cold. Louis, king ef the French, was unapproachable. Only the rich and weil-born might come near him. And Louis, unluckily for himself, was persuaded that you could only j deal with tiat sort of thing with physical force. | So he built a gallows 40 feet high and proceeded to | hang the ringleaders—“agitators,”. you might call them— {in front of the assembled multitude. And then he dis- | persed the rest of the mob with his Swiss guards. | It was just about a decade after that that the French | revolution boiled over. Louis, cauzht in the whiripool, | was led to the scaffold and beheaded. Perhaps the parallel isn't quite exact, but it comes close enough. The underlying attitude is the same in cach | case. Louis had the tragic, fatel old notion; the notion that the way to deal with social discontent and unrest is to | suppress it ruthlessly, rather than treat it fairly, find out what is the cause of it and see if that cause can't be re- | moved. He learned, too late, that his way is preciscly ; the way to make that unrest ten times as intense and vio- | lent as it was before. Now this country is several million miles removed from any danger of a revolution, There isn’t the slightest chance of one here. But the man who declares that the j only way to handle communism ts by using physical force: has the wrong idea. Th> communists don't menace this country. They are too few, too weak. The real danger comes from the man who is willing to use violence to suppress them. | Editoria} Comment | Football and Baseball «(New York World) In the Hotel McAlpin recently, according ‘o an an- nouncement by Walter R. Okeson, commissioner of East- ern football officials, a meeting was held at which the new rules were explained to all who cared to attend. And, taking one consideration with anothe: e are of the opinion that this is a pretty good idea. Since the ‘ules have become so complicated that nobody can under- itand them without lengthy explanations, lovers of the ime should be given some opportunity to prepare them- elves before the whistles sound off for the opening con- test Yet it would be a much better idea, we believe, if the rules were simplified so that anybody could understand them withoui attending a meeting at the Hotel McAlpin, a few seasons so they would have a chance to jell. As we have pointed out from time to time, football could learn 2 great deal in this respect from baseball. In the last twenty years not a single change of importance has been made in the rules of our national game. The man who has not seen a game since the days of Bender, Cobb, Baker, Johnson, Plank, Mathewson, Chance and Lajoic can go out to the Yankee stadium today and begin right where he left off. Hie will see nothing strange to him, except possibly the red undershirt of George Pip- gras. But how about the man who has not seen a foot- Stevens, Howard and Hogan? He would be under the im- pression, one suspects, that he had got into the wrong park and that he was looking at outdoor basketball in- stead of the football he had coine to see. The rules, alas, are tinkered so often that eight spectators in every ten are frequently in the dark as to what is going on, and so ineptly that even the players go a whole season without comprehending them properly and lose games through some faulty notion of what they mean, Thus football begins to have the same defect as chess: so much concentration is required to remember the moves that hardly any is left for strategy. The time has come, it would seem, to call a halt. Before long a board of army umpires will have to be called in after each important contest to figure out who won. Music in the School Bell (Atlanta Journal) A gentle but well-supported bit of chiding comes to us from the president of the South Carolina Teachers’ as- sociation, Prof. Harry Clark, who writes: At the opening of the schools each year some newspapers, unfortunately, use cartoons of un- willing boys being forced into schools. As public servants who are trying to render the largest pos- sible service, we teachers feel that such newspa- per features create a harmful attitude in the child's mind. .... In these days of small families, the school supplies the child with needed social contacts—it is to him a “party.” The modern school has so much to interest the modern child that even counties with no compulsory attendance law find that the children go voluntarily and gladly to school, in the great majority of cases. Our esteemed correspondent is quite right in his view, although it should be said that the cartoonists draw from an old and famous tradition.

It is a period for which we are told to prepare our- selves with extra wisdom and etra patience. Certainly it is obvious that these years must be difficult for a number of reasons both physical and psycho- logical. And yet it seems to me that we approach its problems with an excess of trepidation, with the mis- taken feeling that they are wholly different from all the other problems of childhood. An adolescent does not become one overnight. Adolescence is a phase of growth, gradually approached and as gradually left behind. What a child is as an adolescent is but the out- come of what he has been through all the years before. Your adolescent was your baby, your toddler and your school boy long before he reached this reputedly so dangerous age. Its difficulties are acute only when the difficulties of the years before have been unwisely handled. The! {Parent wise enough to foster inde- pendence in her little one is faced with no rebellion from the high school boy or girl who is seeking his eman- cipation from parental leading strings. The parent who has tried all along to develop in her child judgment and | kish good taste will have less cause to be shocked and grieved when her chil- child has always “toed the line,” THE DUCTLESS GLANDS (Continued) The Thyroid Gland People with an excess of thyroid secretion (hyperthyroid) are usually jthin and nervous. The heart beats rapidly upon the slightest exertion; those with an insufficient amount of thyroid secretion (hypothyroid) are usually fat and phlegmatic. There is a very close connection between the chemical secretions of the thyroid and the ovaries. For this reason, more women are afflicted with thyroid trouble than men. When there is a lack of thyroid secretion in infants, they remain dwarfed. This condition has received the name of “cretinism.” A child does not develop physically and mentally when the thyroid secretion is lacking. In adults a lack of thyroid secretion has a definite effect, and is known as myzedema, so called because of a pe- cullar mucus-like substance under- neath the skin which produces a puffy swelling. This puffiness re- sembles ordinary dropsy but differs in that it does not pit upon the pres- sure of the fingers. There is much swelling especially in the nose and cheeks of the face, thus giving a thickened, dull expression. A person with myzedema may appear prema. turely aged. The tongue becomes en. larged, the skin is dry and of a pecul- jar sallow color, the hair becomes brittle and baldness frequently results. The patient becomes depressed and shows a desire to avoid exercise. The weight often increases. The temper- ature is subnormal and the heart ac- tion slow. Myzedema does not always show these exaggerated forms, but may ex- ist in a limited degree. It is almost always associated with a lack of func- tioning on the part of the ovaries. An excess of the thyroid secretion produces a loss of weight and rapid beating of the heart, restlessness, ex- treme nervousness, sleeplessness, in- testinal disturbances, feverishness and sweating. The excessive secre- tion of this gland also produces a too- rapid oxidation of food materials in the body. In every case of hyperthyroidism with women whom I have examined, | the pelvic organs, especially the in- | testines, have been greatly 5 VFockone usually adhesions around the ovaries, and this leads me to believe that hyperthyroidism with women is usually caused by a reflex from ovar- ian irritation, as the cases usually im- prove rapidly on the proper dieting regimen after the adhesions have ‘been loosened and the prolapsed or- | gans raised to their normal posit If this theory of sexual irritation is true it may be that hyperthyroidism with males is likewise due more or Jess to some irritation of the pros- tate, seminal vesicles or testes. Sex Glands The sexual glands or gonads also produce an internal secretion which influences the principal differences in the appearance and temperament of men and women, and influences their youth and maturity.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Vine Poisoning Question: Mrs. H. writes: “I have read in newspapers that being subject to ivy poison was merely a matter of diet, and with the proper diet, im- munity from this poison could be brought about. Is this true, and if so | where could I learn this diet?” Answer: Live on a diet’ free from bad food combinations and you will be able to build up your blood carbon- ate reserve so as to resist the invasion of the vine poison. The weekly menus published in this column should be sufficient to accomplish this for the average person. Baby's Diet Question: Mrs. I. O. J. asks: “Is oatmeal a sufficient food for a baby one year cld? If not, what is a good diet without milk?” Answer: A baby one year of age should have only milk and orange juice. Cereals should not be added until the third year. The first food added to the milk should be the cooked, leafy vegetables, finally the milk and vegetables being used at some of the meals, and proteins added to the greens at other times when the milk should be left out. Phieditis Question: Mrs. B. asks: “Will you Please tell what would cause a i me ‘phlebitis leg’ after an operation for acute appendicitis?” Answer: Phiebitis is often present after an operation in the lower ab- domen. A swelling in the leg is caused by some interference with the circulation of blood or lymph. This is due to an injury from the opera- tions, | tion and usually caused by the remov- al of some of the lymphatics in the Cucumbers and Ice Cream Question: H. G. asks: “Is it all right to use cucumbers and ice cream at the same meal?” Answer: Cucumbers and ice cream dressing and the ice cream is made of real cream and docs noi contain any cornstarch.
