This sounding of time has assumed the scale of the) group, just as all human activity is, taking on group character. Business men study the out jointly. Statesmen in diverse nations find their minds fixed on the same goals, the same programs. Thus, as 1929 goes out and 1930 comes on the stage of the world, as at no other time in the world's history is the subject of peace so uppermost in the thoughts of all men and all nations. The year just closing has peculiarly given these aspirations birth, the year just born has in its keeping what decisions are to be made concerning the vision of permanent international har- mony into which it is sought to bring men to dwell. So it is that 1930 be; as a fateful rv. It will be inter- esting, perhaps amazingly so, perhaps disappointingly 80, 12 months hence on the eve of a similar chronological point in the measurement of time to I ack over the intervening months and note what has come of the vision which the world is carrying into the new year At-home great problems are to be worked out for the domestic welfare.

In view of ogy of a type most menacing to the placidity, the comfort and the progress of the world economically considered, there is much wisdom in a brief edit in the magazine, which under the title, “What to Learn from 1929,” says w enforcement and prosperity. in the tem- ate key of “Do your own thinking. Don't be carried away by mob psychology. Don't blindly gamble. Don't figure on becoming rich without effort; don't expect something for nothing. Don't fly to ex- tremes. Exercise moderation. Allow yoursclf to become neither intoxicated by success nor daunt- ed by apparent failure. Disabuse yourself of the notion that old-fashioned virtues have lost their virtue. Get back to first principle: convince yourself that sweat, not speculation, is the main ingredient of success. Don’t chase rainbows; keep your nose to the grindstone. Remember that diamonds are only chunks of coal that stuck to their job.” ‘That about covers that subjcct. Peace, waterways, law enforcement, railroad consolidations still are to be solved. The principles on which th: lutions are to bbe based still are nebulous and conflicting in ihe minds of men. They may fill the new year with turbulent con- tention. But if men will follow the advice of Forbes’, this ough: to prove a year of real prosperity. Such a year The Tribune wishe: readers, for them be a happy and prospcrous year. Lesson of Ben Eielson Somewhere, far up in the white silences beyond the Arctic circle, Carl Ben Eielson is missing. A famous and daring North Dakota aviator. this young | man disappeared in his plane on November 9 and has not been seen since. Searching parties have been unable to find him. Over in Hatton, his father, Ole Eiclson, clings to @ slim hope that his son is still alive,.and he plans to May 1930 ~ 0 north and search for him himscif. But if it develops that his son is dead, he is not going to let the tragedy embitter him, nor is he going to do any declaiming about the “useless waste” of Arctic flying. “I think -young men should get out and see the world,” he says. “That's what my boys have done, Tm proud tion with ‘his work in the Arctic and the Antarctic, and if he » must be sacrificed I 2m a proud and grieved father.” We have a fecling that this Ole Eielson is a man worth knowing.

Last New Ycar’s day found Herbert Hoover sailing home from South Amer- ica, concluding in his goodwill tour tire first important phase of a strong but | friendly foreign policy which he has | since carried with general approval. Even before taking office he had begun what was hailed as a new era of more amicable relations between the Ameri- ‘ can republics and his subsequent policy - ks has been designed to foster the im- HOOVER proved atmosphere. Among other things he has undertaken to streng- then the caliber of our diplomats in those countries. Although not a great deal has been definitely accom- plished, the administration has established a foundation for reduction of military and naval expenditures in Hoover's public utterances. The year saw the prelimin- ary work done for the important London naval limita tion conference which will soon begin, including the un- precedented personal conferences between Premier Ram- say MacDonald and President Hoover in Washington. . Everywhere, in foreign or domestic affairs, one ob- serves the beginnings of efforts which, if successful,will result in substantial achievements. Only a few of the more important can be summarized in this space. After inauguration, Hoover lost no time in calling the special session of congress to deal with the farm relief ; problem and a revision of the tariff. The administra- | tion bill providing a federal farm board with wide powers | And a $500,000,000 loan fund became a law without undue delay. The board has been actively functioning for sev- eral months, although it is too early to predict how ef- | erated it will contribute to solution of the agricultural | problem. | In December, on President Hoover's recommendation, ‘congress in regular session promptly passed a $160,000,000 | tax cut measure which will go into effect this year. Tariff legislation, the other of the three most important | legislative measures which the administration sought, is | badly bogged. That may be due to Mr. Hoover's unwil- ~ | lingness to make known his opinion of the tariff bills | cooked up by the house ways and means and senate fi- {nance committees or of the drastic revisions of the Hawley-Smoot_measure which have been made on the ; Senate floor, But tariff legislation has been begun and is rather sure to be completed, in one fashion or another. °° 8 During the summer the administration's firm intima- tion that it would stand for no more dallying obtained | ratification in Paris of the Franco-Aimerican debt agree- | ment. France had to pay $40,000,000 at once in case the agreeriient wasn't ratified and Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson refused to forget about it. But only that much has been actually accomplished, for many be- eve that there must be still further revision of foreign debt fundings. The president recently directed the affixing of Amer- ica’s signature to the world court protocol on the theory | that the senate’s reservations had been met, but this may net be submitted to the senate for some time and a oe looms after which our adherence probably will be ratified, The beginnings of what may be far-reaching reforms have been made in regard to the vexing and long-stand- ing problem of law enforcement. The president ap- | pointed a committee of extraordinarily high grade under \the chairmanship of George Wickersham, primarily in response to widespread dissatisfaction with prohibition jenforeement conditions but slso to investigate enforce- ; Ment and observance of all laws. Dealing directly with | prohibition he has recommended the transfer of the en- forcement job from the treasury to the department of Justice and the question is now before congress. eee Acting in the wake of the stock market crash and anxious to restore public confidence as well as to spur business as much as possible, Hoover summoned leaders of business and industry to Washington in November and | talked “buiness as usual” to them. He warned against Wage reductions and urged all justifiable programs of expansion with the promise that the government wou!d join in the general movement. The effect of Hoover's emergency measures cannot be judged with exactitude, but he believes that confidence was reestablished and that a large amount of unemployment and suffering was prevented. j Thanks largely to Hoover, there has also appeared th National Business survey conference under the chair- manship of Julius H. Barnes, which recently appointed | 8n executive committee including a score of America’s most important men in business and industry. The com- mittee will recommend courses of action for the stabil. ae. ‘of business. Here, too, one finds significent ginnings. The have been the year's most important develop- ments from the Hoover standpoint, although one might mention various other Hoover beginnings in the tackling of problems such a3 the appointment of his commissions to study the public lands and child welfare problems, But the test of the administration has hardly begun. In most cases the executive must act in conjunction with congress and inasmuch as congress has been tied up and tangled up mostly with the tariff there has been ho chance to get going. | : ne Meanwhile, however, has its\own.

It is an accumulation of fluids in the tissues or in the body cavities and is a symptom which may accompany many different diseases. Before any case of dropsy can be treated, it is necessary to have a very careful diagnosis to determine just what is causing the dropsical condi- tion. Diseases of the heart and kid- neys are the two most common causes, and when one notices an ab- normal swelling of the limbs or abdo- men, an investigation should imme- diately be started to find out the real cause. There is a slight difference between the dropsy due to defective kidneys and the dropsy due to heart trouble, but this alone is not enough upon which to base a diagnosis. As a rule, the dropsy from heart trouble genet ally comes on toward evening and is lost during the night, while the dropsy from kidney trouble comes on during the night and disappears dur- ing the day. Thus, a puffiness under the eyes that appears early in the morning and is gone is usually caused by the kidneys, and if the ankles swell from heart trouble the swelling usual- ly appears toward night and disap- pears in the morning. This is only true of the early stages, however. A condition which causes a very toxic blood stream may cause dropsy. Other types of dropsy are, “water on the brain” or hydrocephalus; an en- gorgement of the liver with toxic wastes may produce a water dropsy or ascites in the abdomen, abnormal {fluids in the chest is called hydro- thorax, small fliud swellings, under the skin are termed edema. The only form of treatment which will remedy the dropsical condition 'permanently is a treatment which !removes the real causes. Thus, if the | aropay is caused by the heart, the heart must first become normal be- fore you are free of the dropsy. If ithe source of the trouble is the kid- neys, then you will have to adopt a treatment for kidney trouble to over- {come this cause of dropsy. | I will be pleased to help you by giv- ing advice, but before writing to me {for help about dropsy you should get ja diagnosis from your doctor.
