CHICAGO NEW YORK The Legion and Peace | There was wholesome reasoning in the form of the peace plan put forward by Rev. Father George F. Kettell, national chaplain of the American Legion at the mect- ing that organization held at the auditorium Monday evening. It was the Legion plan to debunk war of some of its hypocrisies and all of its profiteering, thus to make it unpopular as a mere intrigue for economic selfishness. It is a plan naturally evolved from the experiences of the World war, which Father Kettell declared had bred the mest scandalous profiteering on the part of both labor and capital. Make impossible, therefore, wars that make millionaires and encourage greed while other men are offering and sacrificing their lives for their country. Hence the idea of universal service, by which every hhand must dedicate itself to its nation’s military wel- fare in such emergencies. Hence the application of the old principle of price-fixing to all phases of war activi- ty. For when men’s cupidity no longer is catered to by war, then peace will become so popular there is not like- ly to be a demand for war, the chaplain suggested. Na- tions will rather seek other means of ironing out their differences. 0 | might be added that not all of them are women, either. { furnish. the senate with complete information about THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1930 ‘A Common Scold’ The news that a New Jersey woman has been con- victed of being “a common scold” has an anachronistic / twang, somehow. It carries one back to colonial days, with the ducking stool as the penalty for the woman who; raised too great a disturbance. But there is something grimly satisfying in this news, at that. It may be out of date, old-fashioned and all that; but, the world holds a few people who are Soul naturally too cantankerous for any earthly use. And it Drawing on Savings As the October stock market crash passes farther back | into history, it grows more and more apparent that the frenzy of speculation that preceded it was not at all a good thing for the country. A clip sheet from the American Bankers’ association reveals that last year, for the first time in 20 years, the amount of money deposited in the nation’s savings banks diminished. The shrinkage amounted to more than $195,000,000 during the 12 months—an amazing situation, in view of the fact that savings in the year previous in- creased by more than $2,300,000,000. The Bankers’ association blames the recession largely on the lure of the stock market, which led people to withdraw their savings in order to speculate in stocks; and it believes that deposits this year will increase again, now that the market boom has collapsed. Entitled to the Facts Senator Bratton wants the secretary of commerce to every fatal aircraft accident since May, 1926, together with the department's complete findings as to the causes; | and the senate will vote on his proposal sometime this winter. Z It is hard to see any valid objection to this proposal. The general public will never be converted to this air- mindedness we hear so much about by a policy of cov- ering up. The Commerce department, it seems to us, owes it to the rest of the country to give out this infor- mation. As potential airplane passengers we all, surely, have a right to know how accidents happen. Steamship and railroad train wrecks are always given full publicity, and every contributory cause is made pub- lic. Aviation has no right to expect more favored treat- | ment. Not the Wisest Course Sometimes it does seem as if our prison system could, just possibly, be rearranged so that it would do its work a little bit better.

Over 3,000 years ago there was a book written in Chinese, called “The Kong Pu,” dealing with massage. The sub- Ject is dealt with in the sacred San- skrit writings and it is well known that the ancient Persians, Venetians, Japanese and Laplanders all made use of this healing art. The Egyptians first annointed the body with precious oils and then rubbed it in. Massage was famous in the baths of both Greece and Imper- ial Rome.

Cody was given his unique sobri- quet “Buffalo Bill” in 1867, when he made a contract with the Kansas Pacific Railway to furnish its em- ployes with buffalo meat while the line was being extended. s Answer: This trouble is due to the presence of air in the alveolar tis of the lungs. I see no reason ‘why you cannot get rid of this trouble whichis apparently chronic in your case, only now appearing in acuic form. A fi ing and diet good effect in Italy has extended tax exemptions now enjoyed by heads of large fami- lies to pensioned civil service em- United States. x The Legion has hit a happy medium in this plan of preparedness which it supports. It would maintain ar- mament on a basis of parity. Now, parity does not seem, if the matier i3 to be judged by the London naval limi- tations conference, to be endowed also with the quality of clarity. However, the Legion proposes merely the principle, and while some ratio worked out supposedly in conformity with the idea‘ of parity might not con- form to the varying views on that subject, yet the prin- ciple is beyond controversy as the most adaptable at this lime in efforts to establish a basis of peace. Peace is something to be attained by patient effort, step by step from the old creed of war to the new decalogue of tran- quillity, amity and brotherhood. The Legion did itself a service in having Father Ket- tell come here to give the talk which he did on the pro- gram of the organization. It brings home to the com- munity not so much the peace and preparedness tenets to which the organization holds as it does the work of | i, rehabilitation for which the Legion stands. There could be nothing nobler than caring for the mained and in- capacitated victims of the war and it always is good to think of the veterans’ organization as one devoted to that exalting task. Efficiency Vs. Peasant The greatest advantage which America possesses over the old world is the fact that America has no peasants. This is the conclusion of Bertrand Russell, eminent British philosopher, voiced in an article in a recent is- gue of The Outlook, following an extended trip through the United States. “The peasant everywhere,” says Mr. Russell, “is cruel, ‘avaricious, conservative and inefficient.” It is gratifying, of course, to know we are so well off. ‘Mr. Russell, however, goes on to enlarge upon this theme. His remarks are worth listening to. Here is an extract: “I have seen orange groves in Sicily and orange groves in California; the contrast represents a period of about 2000 years. “Orange groves in Sicily are remote from trains and ships; the trees are old and gnarled and beautiful; the methods are those of classical antiquity. The men are | ignorant and semi-savage, mongrel descendants of Ro- man slaves and Arab invaders; what they lack in intelli- gence towards trees they make up for by cruelty to an- imals.” So much for Sicily; and California? Here is what ‘Mr. Russell has to say: “In a California orange grove the Garden of the Hesperides seems very remote. The trees are all exactly alike, carefully tended and at the right distance apart. ‘The oranges, it is true, are not all exactly of the same size, but careful machinery sorts them so that automa- tically all those in one box are exactly similar. They travel along with suitable things being done to them by suitable machines at suitable points until they enter a | suitable refrigerator car in which they travel to a suit- able market. The machine stamps the word ‘Sunkist’ upon them, but otherwise there is nothing to suggest | children that nature had any part in their production.” This is an interesting contrast. tre ‘The Old world has its beauty—an instinctive beauty, one might say, expressing itself in a thousand little de- tails, cradling all life in greater or lesser degree. The New world lacks that beauty—but it has efficiency, which might, also, almost be called instinctive. ‘Some of us miss that Old world beauty. The tremend- ous number of Americans who go to Europe every year bears witness to that. But we cannot help ourselves, wrong with this picture. In theory, this Frank Singer should be chastened and repentant, ready to take his place in society and earn his living in an honest man- ner; but is he? Do these brief hints about him sound like it? Don't they suggest that his 21-year prison sen- tence might not have been the wisest way of dealing with his case, back in 1909? All of us would be patient if it didn’t take so much patience. | Editorial Comment End of a Myth (New York World) One cannot help wishing that Walter Scott, better known as Death Valley Scotty, had kept his secrets and not revealed that his hidden gold mine is a myth, all the money that he spends being supplied him by an old friend Chicago. For years he has been a romantic figure, one of the few survivals of the old West that boasted bad men, cowboys and gold camps, Here in the East, the first that we heard of him was twenty-five years ago, when he chartered a Santa Fe train just to see how fast the run , out: forty-four hours fifty-four minutes, and the record owner of a mysterious gold mine in Death Valley, which nobody had ever seen, but which presumably produced gold, as Scotty always had it. And this, of course, was @ gaudy state of affairs; such characters have almost Scotty helped him find it. And it must be admitted that for out with high boots, a ten-gallon hat, gold pieces handed out recklessly to bell caps, and the hoarse tootinggof a special halfway across the continent in 1905—this ending.

It would have set the country back twenty years, Purveyors of Poison and there is no use crying about it. By striving for utility we have at least, as Mr. Russell Points out, escaped from some of the unpleasant things that go with that Old world beauty.

Judith said nothing but looked bled. yu “Why—it's Bert!” ehrilled Tony from the hall window. “He's driv. ing around to the garage.” “Bert?” Both Judith and Arthur joined in the exclamation, but Judith's cry was faint and startled while her husband's was stern, , “1 Gon't understand why he’s had the car out,” Arthur continued. “Did you send him anywhere, Ju- OE see tr shook head negatively.

Once more she curled up beside her father. | “You ought not to allow Bert to drive aftound just wherever he pleases,” she told Knight in a voice that was coolly sweet. “You're spoiling him, darling.” “What I want to know is where he's been.” Arthur Knight’s tone showed im- patience. He would have continued but at that moment Harriet ap- peared. “Bert's in the kitchen, ma’am,” she sald, addressing Judith. “He'd like to know if he could speak to you for a minute.” “Certainly!” Judith said, arising. “F'll come at out at once.” Arthur stopped her. “Send Bert in here,” he sald to the maid. “I want to hear this!” “But, dear—do you think {i best? You know Dr. Shephard said you're not to be disturbed! “Tell Bert to come in!” Knight insisted. A minute later the chauffeur en- tered the room. He was still hold- ing his cap and looked embar- rassed, “Good evening, ma‘am. Good evening, Mr. Knight, I’m sorry but I had a little trouble this evening.” “Where've you been?” “Why, in the city. 1 drove Mrs. Knight and Miss Tony in at four o’clock—" “You mean you're just getting back from that trip now?” Knight's voice was incredulous, “Yes sir, I was just getting out of the city, driving slow, when two young fellows in a roadster smashed right {nto the frout wheel.

He was about to speak but evidently changed his mind before the words came. He turned his head so that neither of them could see his face. Tony saw Judith Knight’s eyes close for one brief instant.

Every trace of defiance: was gone. “I—came home on the train, Ar- thur,” Judith said hesitantly, “I dismissed Bert because I didn’t know how long—my errands would take.
