CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON —— The Scottish Rite The Scottish Rite Masons of the Valley of Bismarck— which means also Mandan—are here again for a few days activity. They always are welcome in these re- unions. Making Masons is making better citizens. Every- where that is recognized as a fact by the general respect which the order commands. The Scottish Rite goes even further than that. It takes good citizens and confers a new sense of dignity on them. Business, professional and civic standing of Masons in their communities is evidence of the clevat- ing and cthical influence of the mystic craft. Bismarck, therefore, welcomes the Scottish Rite again and hopes it will enjoy its four days here increasing its fold and leaving with such an appreciation as to look forward with keen anticipation to the fall reunion, $7.20 1.20 b.U0 6.00 82 55 Moving to the Suburbs Dne of the most significant trends in American life to be disclosed by the current census is the steady, al- most universal shift of population from the big cities to the suburbs. Our big cities are getting bigger, of course; but their suburbs are growing even faster. Several of the largest cities, in fact, are showing much smaller gains than were expected, for the simple reason that their suburbs are getting the bulk of the increase in population. People are moving out, getting as far from the congested dis- trict as they can. The automobile is chiefly responsible for this; but if something is not done to relieve traffic congestion, the shift cannot go on much longer. Many a city dweller, even now, must spend an hour each morning getting to his work, and another hour at night getting home. All of which is just another way of saying that all of our cities need new rapid transit facilities and need them badly. " Simple Solution of Suicide Some suicides are extremely puzzling for the simple reason that the motives that inspired them do not seem sufficient to make an intelligent human being wish to end his life; but the Seattle gentleman who killed himself because he had a severe cold in the head is understand- able only on the tion that he couldn't get the Proper hot lemonade to cure it. There are few things more supremely irritating than an ordinary head cold. Generally you can spot one of the things coming a block off. You know that you are “catching cold,” and you know that you are going to be miserable; but there is no way on earth to head the thing off. You simply lay in an extra supply of fresh handkerchiefs and wait for it. Then, after it arrives, there isn't much you can do ‘about it but take it with the best grace possible. Dose yourself profusely or adopt a Spartan attitude; either way, your cold will leave you only when the inscrutable demon who has charge of such things sees fit. You're simply up against it. Commit suicide over it? Well, there have been in- stances when a cold suggested that temptation. But a few hot lemonades, after all, would be a wiser solution Of such cases. A Distinguished Citizen The city of St. Louis has had a good many distin- guished citizens in its day. But somehow we think that Joseph A. Schneider, the St. Louis traffic cop who died the other day, had just about as fine a record as any of them. Schneider was famous in his home city for two rea- Sons. First of all, he was a good policeman. He could untangle the worst traffic jam without losing his tem- per—which, you must admit, is praise of the highest order. But he had another distinction, even greater. He and his wife had adopted 35 orphan children, hav- \ng none of their own. Twenty of these adopted young- sters were in the officer's home when he died. You could enlarge on that performance at consider- able length, but there's no need to. The bare state- ment tells its own story. Thirty-five children saved from orphan asylums and given a real home—human kindness could not go much farther. If ever a St. Louis citizen deserved a monument, this traffic policeman did. And, incidentally, his wife ought to have one right beside his. Peace By Increased Navies That the London naval limitation conference was not @ reduction affair but one stressing parity is made ap- parent with. vengeance in the bill being drafted in the house naval affairs committee headed by Congressman Britten, of Illinois. This bill will demonstrate that the outcome of the conference compels us to build a lot of new warcraft. Therefore, the limitations and the parity of the confer- ‘nce are upward limitation and upward parity. Originally the conference was looked on as a step to- ward permanent peace among the nations—as a dis- armament move. If it in any way promoted the cause of peace it did so by increasing armaments. The thrill of a great hope, however, is dissipated. Congressman Britten’s bill calls for 15,000 tons of cruisers, 150,000 tons of destroyers, 52,000 tons of sub- marines and 69,000 tons of aircraft carriers. Far from being reduced, our navy is about to be expanded in a wholesale way. The direct result of the London con- ference is a marked increase in our fighting strength at sea. This is rather disappointing, since we were led to be- lieve, when the conference opened, that the days of big expenditures for the navy were over. But the whole thing couldn't have ended any other way. Our navy is considerably helow the British navy in emucer strength. .We sent a delegation to Londen with f two objectives—naval reduction and parity. To get par- ity, it was necessary either for the British to throw away @ lot of warships or for us to build a lot of new ones. British responsibilities in European waters made any serious reduction of British strength impossible. Conse- | quently we could get parity only by doing a good deal | of building. | It was a mistake ever to speak of the London confer- ; ence as a naval reduction conference. The pending naval construction bill makes that obvious. But that is not at all the same thing as saying that the conference did not advance the cause of peace. Look at it this way: This country seems to have its heart set on a navy fully equal to that of Great Britain. Suppose, then, that the conference had not been held; would not a@ billion-dollar building program excite the worst kind of suspicion overseas? Would not that hate- ful talk of an “unthinkable” war be revived, full strength? Would we not, as a result, be involved in a naval building race precisely like the Anglo-German race that led up to 1914? As it is, we can lay down a billion dollars worth of keels without causing a ripple overseas. Nobody is alarmed or excited, at home or abroad. The element of rivalry has been removed. That is a real gain. To be sure, it isn't what we had hoped for; but it is worth having. We can build up to the English fleet without causing a bit of trouble. Of course, someone may ask if we really need parity —at a billion dollars a throw. But that is another story. Putting Ruffianism Into Law Repeated arrest of Al Capone by the Miami police on the pretense that he is a suspicious character does not take the place of actual law conscientiously enforced. Of course few peoplee are grieved for Capone's sake. But a lot should be stirred by such a perversion of con- stitutional rights. It has as much and the same kind of justification as lynch law. It is authority turned into ruffianism. Any American anywhere should feel a great- er pride in his country’s guarantees of liberty and equal rights than in any way to condone such a burlesque of bolshevism. , MAY 13, 1930 Merrily We Roll Along! Miami should remember the example of Philadelphia. Caponé was not harassed there by one arrest and re- lease after another to let him know he was persona non grata in Quakerdom. No! Philadelphia police exercised a constitutional function and arrested the racketeer king for good. The courts tried him. The judge promptly sentenced him to jail for a year. There was a real charge against him. ‘That was a decent exercise of the law, a proceeding thoroughly defensible and commendable. But this Florida brand of law enforcement makes one feel that there are places in free and enlightened America where civilization still is so backward that men have not yet been penetrated by a conception of what the United States and its constitution and laws for equal justice are all about, They give the nation an undigni- fied spectacle of law enforcement—one that takes the effectiveness out of the law, in fact. Editorial Comment | Footnote on West Point Training (Chieago Tribune) A number of years ago Cincinnati was looking for a city manager. The choice fell upon Col. Clarence O. Sherill of the regular army. He had distinguished him- | self at West Point and at the time of his appointment as city manager was superintendent of public buildings and grounds in Washington, D.C. He went to Cincinnati at & salary of $25,000 and resigned recently te join the management of a chain store system. Now Cincinnati is looking for his successor and has again directed its attention to the army. The post has been offered to Col. Ulysses S. Grant III., who succeeded to Col. Sherill's position in Washington, but Col. Grant has declined. He wishes to remain at a post until the new building program in Washington has been com- pleted. Who will be selected is still undecided, but no less than seven army men are being considered and it is at least probable that one of them will be chosen. This record we recommend to pacifists for study. They like to think that any army man is a narrow-minded martinet, happy only when he can issue peremptory orders to civilians and make them like it. How false this picture is any one with an acquaintance among American officers knows. Cincinnati is looking for a man of abil- ity and training in engineering, and above all for a man of tact and integrity. There is no school in the country which does more than West Point to develop these qualities of leadership among its graduates. There may be other schools which provide superior instruction even in purely military matters, but none anywhere which is a better character builder. This country has no reason to fear the rise of a sword-waving, arrogant military caste. That is a bogey invented for us by allen- minded persons whose knowledge of armies, if any, was gained in foreign lands, The Motor Sleeping Car (St. Louls Globe-Democrat) One hundred years and a few days after the first cov- ered wagon started west from St. Louis the first sleeper bus departed in the same direction. The bus arrived at St. Louis from Kansas City at 8 a. m. Tuesday and As the Pullman coach differs from the covered wagon, 80 does this vehicle, with its twenty-six seats, which may be. cosrppcted dese She same sarabet ot herihs. 4 habene jor serv- points. People troubled by insomnia may not find the Alsacia and the appropriately named Morpheus all that is to be desired. Although the highways are not burdened with traffic in the small hours of the night, there is a pos- sibility that some belated motorist tooting his horn will drive sleep away. The screeching brakes of some passing car might have the same effect, But it must be remem- bered that the railroads do not guarantee a sound sleep when they sell a Pullman ticket. A locomotive whistle is not exactly a cure for sleeplessness. Assuming that the air filled cushions and mattresses on which the bus pas- sengers repose are puncture proof and capable of with- standing the strains to which they will be subjected by corpulent persons, the service should prove satisfactory. Of course, each of the busses has a porter. The sleeper bus is one of the most surprising results of the good roads movement. Had it been tested on Missouri roads five or ten years ago it would have been a failure, ‘Long Wages’ | (Grand Rapids, Mich., Press) Senator Couzens’ suggestion of a yearly salary basis— “long wages for workers in place of the present hourly wage scale so prevalent in most manufacturing Dasinane | will be called radical, as, in fact, it is. It would force a complete readjustment of methods of production azel competition in many industries. But the suggestion is made, not for governmental action to force its effect, but to industry itself. Mr. Couzens believes many industries could adjust themselves to such a basis, or to guaranteed employment, without loss, and he cites in the April issue of Survey the case of the Dennison Manufacturirg company in Framingham, Mass. The president of this company, seeking to insure his employes a stable income, put $150,000 in a reserve fund and provided that every time a department laid off a man ho was to be paid 60 per cent of his wage. Depart- ment heads and superintenderts were immediately found to be stabilizing their part of the industry to avoid this extra overhead charge as much as possible, with the result that in eight years the total sum used from the reserve fund has bee: less than one wee'’s pay roll, That undoubtedly is an unusual case of a business largely controlling its own demand and supply condi- tions, as contrasted to those in which it is difficult to estimate future requirements and which are severely and immediately affected by a number of market con- ditions. Not as a revolutionary proposal for immediate | application to all business, but as an ideal toward which [msn industries ought to be working, Mr. Couzens’ plan of “long wages” and reasonable assurance of a Steady Job deserves serious consideration, MARIA THERESA’S BIRTH On May 13, 1717, Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria, was born in Vi- enna, ‘When her father, Charles VI. died, | tn, Maria, heiress of his dominions with the title of Queen of Hungary, was but 23 years old. experience or knowledge of the busi- ness of state and her husband, reign- ing duke of Tuscany, while liked for his geniality, was no leader. | Trouble came thick and fast for Maria after Charles’ several claimants arose for the throne and then Frederick of Prussia, greedy | stimulants on one side and for money sires to reflect.”—Dr. William Lyon Today Is the Anniversary of jfact Hungary's army was dispersed She was without death.

She resented it—and yet she was glad of it, too, for she fancied her- elf receiving the same attention some day. On this occasion she did not seek to keep Natalie from noticing her. On the contrary—she deliberately interrupted her as she was about to office, with @ was in conference. A Natalie hesitated. Usually she went directly to the inner office, and it she found Alan busy, went out again, to wait. She accepted Phillipa’s present interference with good grace on this occasion, bein: in excellent humor, and took a chair beside the secretary's desk. She might have gone back to the reception room, which was separat- ed from the space where Phillipa’s desk was placed, by a low partition, but she chose to wait nearer Alan's office. She did not expect to be long in being admitted to the pri- vate office. ij This couldn't have suited Phillipa better. They were out of earshot of the other employes, if they spoke in low tones, and Phillipa did not raise her voice, as she asked Nata- Me how little Bobby Lamont was doing. She saw Natalle start, though she appeared to be busily engaged with some papers on her desk. “I've so much enjoyed helping Mr. Converse choose toys for him,” she chattered on airily, still not openly glancing up at Natalie, who was now sitting quite erect in her chair. “Weve Just bad a letter trom his mother,” Phillipa went on gushingly. “They're in Atlantic City—but of course you know that.” She looked up, smiling an apology for her stupidity. “It's too bad you and Mr. Con- verse can't have him with you, tsn't while Hungary was in its disturbed | there are likely to be some violations condition.

But nothing happened. A sharp line replaced the soft curves that a moment before had formed Natdlie’s Ups, but no word issued from it. “Perhaps you'd like to read the letter,” Phillipa suggested, reaching into a drawer for it. She seemed not at all aware of the strangeness of her conduct. Natalie would think her a simpleton, of course, but let her. + The letter contained a slight Teference to business, That fact, ilipa believed, would make it possible for Natalie to assume that she saw nothing unusual in its be- ing sent to Alan's office, instead of bis home. And thus not attach suspicion to ber showing of it. Natalie took the letter, with fingers that were beginning to tremble. In silence Phillipa watched her read it, But no sooner had Natalie leaned over and laid it on the desk, hastily, and with a touch of fierceness, than she began again her devilish interference. But Natalie was not given time to listen, The door to Alan’s private office opened, and she: saw him there, showing out a client. A wo- man client, chic and animated. For an instant Natalie was be- wildered. Conference? Indeed! She glanced quicljy at Phillipa, but the latter was as tnnocent-look- ing as a pat of butter.

He was busy. come a little later. Natalie's head lifted haughtily. Color flamed high in her but her voice was cool as swered. “Sorry, [ haven't time. I've been waiting.” Alan knew at once that she was angry. “Hell,” he said to himself. To Natalie: “That's too bad, dear.” She moved away, and not even for Phillipa’s sake, could she sum- mon a word of gracious farewell. Her eyes were smarting with un- shed tears, and she wanted to run- from the place blindly, impotent in A Hipa’s glance, and closed the door upon his embarrassment. Phillipa smiled. A little later she went in to bim, and was so silently sympathetic in her demeanor, that he found bim- self conscious of a feeling of grati- tude toward her. She sat very still at the end of his desk, taking dictation. In ber quietness, and fn the way she kept her head bent, as though she did not want to look upon his discom fiture, there was meaning. One thing of beauty she had— lovely curling eyelashes, Now they veiled her downcast eyes, and lent her an air of demureness that Alan HEALTH oY D THE NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT OF APPENDICITIS It is unfortunately too common for physicians to make a snap judgment of appendicitis whenever there is a severe abdominal pain, especiaily on the right side. It should be remem- bered that acute appendicitis is often confused with such conditions as over-distension of the intestines with gas, ovaritis, pyelitis, ulcer of the in- testines, gall or kidney stone colic, and intestinal obstruction. We fre- quently here the old story repeated of the doctor who said to the patient, “You are no doubt suffering from an acute attack of appendicitis and must be operated on immediately,” and the patient replied: “Why, Doctor, I have Hee had the appendix removed wice!”” There is not usually much publicity given to the patients who do not get well after an operation for appendi- citis, and it is no doubt true that many healthy appendices have been removed where there was no real ne- cessity. I believe that many of the cases which have died after an oper- ation could have been saved if no operation at all had been performed. In a few cases where the appendix is Sangrenous an operation may be ad- visable, but I believe that the regime T am about to describe can safely be tried first and the patient will be in a better condition to undergo the operation if it seems necessary. I have seen some cases where it was quite apparent that the appendix had {patient got well. |been filled with pus and had burst | before this treatment was started, but |this was absorbed and eliminated |during the fasting regime. | carried some patients through several |days of delirium while this pus was I have being absorbed, but in every case the I will give you a brief outline of the treatment which | was almost identical in all of these cases, | The first thing to do is to stop all food immediately, even thedrinking of water if the attack is so violent as to produce nausea. If you do not feel like vomiting, water should be taken, as much as you care to drink. From the beginning of the attack enemas should be taken every two hours. Do not take large enemas.

Long hair would suit her womanliness. “That will be all, Miss West. Thank you.” He was a bit abrupt. Phillipa got up. appeared to hesitate. Hor gray eyes slanted at him appealingly. A half smile turned upward the corners of her mouth, as one smiles in pity. How could Natalie humiliate him before his secretary, he thought angrily. “You were going to Frondell’s to look at their cars today,” Phillipa sald softly. “Cars?” “For Bobby,” Phillipa reminded im. “Oh, yes, yes, of course. I thought you meant real cars.

He was dwelling bit- terly upon his life with Natalie, too unhappy over it to think of any- thing else, Phillipa glanced discerningly at his brooding countenance when they returned to the office, and quietly effaced herself. She felt she had wasted an opportunity, but she was too wise to intrude upon &@ man with unpleasant thoughts. Alan's mood did not change be fore the office closed. Then he told Phillipa, in reference to some work that she said needed his immediate attention, that he would return the office after dinner and take care of it. It was unusual for him to work in the office at night, but he did it oc- casionally, when Natalie attended a concert or lecture in which he lacked interest.

If a physician does not use an enema, this is his mistake, and you should not be in- fluenced by it. Many physicians whc expect to operate also put ice packs on the abdomen which has a tend- ency to refrigerate the pus if any ex- ists. The best treatment that I have found is to do exactly the opposite and to use very hot applications over the entire abdomen. This encourages |@ freer circulation of blood and as- jsists in draining the lymphatics in the inflamed area. It is important not to use the hot applications only jover the appendix, but to spread them over the entire abdomen. A deep Probing over the region of the in- flamed appendix should not be per- mitted, as I am sure that in many cases the appendix has been burst while the physician was endeavoring to make sure of his diagnosis. T have the utmost confidence in the type of treatment which I have just outlined, having seen it work in so many cases, which I believe is a re- markable proof of the healing powers of the body if assisted and not hin- dered. This treatment has the ad- vantage of not proving harmful, even in cases which are unot real appen- dicitis, and any condition of inflam- mation in the abdomen would be helped by the same measures. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Eggs for Children Question: Mrs. P. writes: “A noted physician has advised a friend of mine that children should not be given eggs more than once a week, as eggs have a tendency to promote vicious habits in a child. I have always tried to give my children an egg a day, and now comes this information. Also, 1 notice in the menu of an open-air school that few egg dishes are given. What is your opinion of all this?” Answer: Eggs are undoubtediy one of the most valuable forms of food from which protein or muscle-build- ing material can be obtained. There is no harm in including eggs in the child’s diet after the age of three years when he is allowed the regular solid food diet. The wrong kinds of companions are responsible for this trouble and not eggs. Eating Sunshine Question: H. D. writes: “If we don't absorb enough sunshine in our food, can we not get it by taking reg- ular sunbaths? And which way is the most helpful?” Answer: The sunlight seems to have the same effect as vitamin D. How- ever, one should also use the foods containing the other vitamins. It is well to have some sunbaths, even if you are obtaining “enough sunshine in your foods,” as sunbaths help to keep the skin in good condition, Removing Adhesions Question: G. H. C. asks: “In taking the slanting board exercises, how can one know when the adhesions have broken up? Will the bowels move normally at that time?” Answer: An X-ray examination should be taken under the fluoro- scope and the examining doctor should push the intestinal organs about to see if the adhesions have been loosened. The bowels generally act more normally when the adhe- sions have been eliminated.
