CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Graduate in Dollars and Cents ‘What does the average college graduate this spring rep- resent in dollars and cents? Let us look at commencement season in a practical sense for a little while. The cultural benefit doesn’t need to be considered. That is not a debatable matter, as the late President Wilson said when the proposal of estab- lishing an eight-hour day was brought up during the war. The subject has been considered by one of this spring's graduates and Douglas Fosdick has written of the finan- cial side of graduation in an article in the June American Magazine, based on the assumption of an average salary of $28 a week awaiting the graduates. Fosdick's article deals with the fate of 134,000 graduates of American col- leges in June. He is editor of the Bowdoin Quill. Fosdick’s modest salary estimate would add more than $195,000,000 to the country’s payrolls annually. “I won't turn up my nose at $28 a week,” says the stu- dent in his article in the magazine, “even though boys who graduated from high school with me and didn’t go to college are getting more than twice as much in factor- ies and trades. Indeed, if I could take a job with com- plete assurance that I was headed in the direction in which I want to go, I should consider that I was getting he better part of the deal with my employer.” The coming graduate, who will soon go out into the The Bismarck Tribane 00 | would be impressed by the existence of the city on the sign of any chance for a victory that party would be vit lently rent by faction. That is the big characteristic of the Keystone Democ: Worth Considering Former Governor Joseph M. Devine in another column stresses the need of deciding now whether this city shall send the Indian school girls to the national convention of women’s clubs at Denver, next month. To do 50 will require raising $600 for expenses of the trip. This seems a small sum for such a project. However, the city is committed to publicity for the coming year. The Association of Commerce has made it the chief plank in its program for 1930. There could be no more spec- tacular publicity than the presence of the Indian school girls at Denver when the Federation of Women’s clubs meets. Places which never heard of Bismarck before Missouri by the presence of these girls, with their un- disputed talent for dramatics and with splendid singers among them. They would establish contact with women leaders from all over the country. They would undeniably make a good impression— more striking than any exhibit the city could make at the club federation meeting. The proposal to finance the sending of the girls to Denver, therefore, is worth considering. Uproot the Dandelion Clean-up week has passed with good results achieved in getting the city tidied up, but one important feature has been neglected—the dandelion pest is left, still to be taken in hand. Many of the lawns of the city have been cleared of the weed and at this time are in fine shape. This very fact calls for similar eradication of the dandelions on other lawn: not so well kept. For this plant grows a seed that is a tireless spreader and floats where not wanted on the slightest breeze, there to take root and turn sightly spots into unsightly. It is a sign of good citizenship to uproot this plant from the lawns, yards and gardens, so that other resi- dents may, be rewarded for their care and effort by pro- tection from neglect ‘af others. Is Heaven Thus? (D. H. Lawrence in Scribner's) The soul in heaven is supremely individual, absolved from every relationship except that with the Most High. In heaven there is neither marriage nor love, nor friend- ship nor fatherhood nor motherhood, nor sister nor brother nor cousin; there is just me, in my perfected isolation, placed in perfect relation to the Supreme Be- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, | Today Is the | Anniversary of | JAMES EADS’ BIRTH On May 23, 1820, James Buchanan Eads, noted American engineer who developed and carried out a plan of deepening the mouth of the Missis- sippi by means of jetties, was born at Lawrenceburg, Ind. When he was 13, young Eads moved to St. Louis, where, after working in ing, the Most High. When we talk of heaven, we talk, really, of that which we would most like to attain, and most like to be here on earth. The condition of heaven is the condition to world, regrets the fact that so many of this year's grad- uates will be faced with the problem of determining the business they want to follow. If they are able to decide, he asks, how will they be able to break into their chosen line? Those educated in the liberal arts will have the Greatest trouble, he finds upon investigation. “Estab- lished business organizations,” says Fosdick, “are func- tioning nicely with their present personnel. How can room be found for the thousands of young men and ‘women who graduate from the institutions of learning gach June? i “I remember the old story of the youth who was ap- plying for work on a newspaper. The city editor asked him what experience he had had. “I was editor of my college paper,’ the youth admitted proudly. 'm very sorry,’ said the city editor, ‘but we have an editor.’ “One executive explained to me that he finds that col- lege men consider their education completed with their graduation. The college man learns his job and does it well, but he does not use his spare time to advantage. Success in business comes through growth, persistence and adaptability, but it comes slowly. College men are impatient to get ahead at first, and despairing, become be longed for, striven for, now. Now, if I say to a woman, or toa man: “Would you like to be purely free of all human relationships, free from father and mother, brother and sister, husband, lover, friend or child? Free from.all these human en- tanglements and reduced purely to your own pure self, connected only with the Supreme Power, the Most High?” —then what would the answer be? What is the answer, Task you. What is your own sincere answer? I expect, in almost all cases, it is an emphatic “yes.” In the past most men would have said “yes,” and most women “no.” But today, I think, many men might hesi- tate, and nearly all women would unhesitatingly say “yes.” Drums and Bugles Forever! * (Washington Star) Lieut. Commander John Phillip Sousa, U. 8. N. R., who knows as much about military music as any living man, does not think highly of the idea of ‘canned bands” <namely, mechanical military music mounted on a truck. Experiments looking to’ this innovation are being con- ducted at Fort Washington down the Potomac. The author of the numerous popular Sousa marches, which have lightened the plodding feet of many milions of uniformed men, thinks there would be little inspira- tion for those marching behind such a truck and asks Pertinently, “Would the truck keep in step, too?” It is thought that most military men will subscribe to Sousa’s opinion in this regard. Furthermore, there is another point which has not. been brought out. It is lazy and forget to learn the job just ahead of them. “Unquestionably the social development that comes from going to college is an asset which, although it might be acquired outside of college, would have to be acquired more slowly. It carries with it a tolerance for the views of others. The study of philosophy alone does that. “But I wish there were some way to teach a boy just what he is best fitted to do after he graduates and how to begin doing it. As it is we have to make the best de- cisions we can, and hope they are right. That, as I see it, is the weakness of college education. “I am glad I went to college, nevertheless. I think that the college has lived up to the promise the president. made me—that a liberal arts college does not teach you how to make a living primarily, but it does teach you how to live.” Pinchot Back Again The nomination of Gifford Pinchot as Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania is a repetition of the Vare slip-up of four years ago, when the head of the eastern or Philadelphia machine gained the nomina- tion and election for the U. S. senate but was unable to get his candidate, Ed S. Beidleman, for governor named in the primary. The result thus was a split victory, the Mellon or Pittsburgh machine electing John S. Fisher as governor. Eight years ago Pinchot was elected governor after a narrow squeak to gain the nomination and it is hardly likely that, having been named now, he will fail of elec- tion. Pennsylvania is such an overwhelmingly Republi- can state it would require a very serious revolt to upset a primary victory by a general election defeat. Besides, the Vares are not showing any inclination to make war on Pinchot. Years ago when the Republican majority used to hov- er around 40,000 it was possible to defeat a nominee from within the party. This was done twice in the case of Robert E. Pattison, Democrat, who was twice elected governor of the Keystone, once running against General James A. Beaver, who inherited bitterness against the Camerons in their effort to nominate General Grant in the national convention of 1880. Beaver was one of the famous 308 delegates who stood to the final ballot for the former president when Garfield was nominated. That cost Beaver the governorship, but in 1886, four years later, the one-legged old soldier came back and was elected. Then Pattison won again, from George W. Delamater, against whom political scandals were pitted, in 1890. Since then Pennsylvania Republicans have not revolt- ed, not even at the period of the capitol graft exposure. In fact, Republican majorities have kept growing larger this: The band itself is part of the spectacle, entirely aside from its function in the realm of sound. The flash- ing of the sunshine on the flare of the big horn; the rhythmic beat of sticks against the great drum; the vis- ible clashing of the cymbals; the sliding in and out of the trombones, all coupled with the fact that the bands- men, usually more ornately uniformed than the average, are swinging along in step to their own music, all possess an effect of pageantry that nothing else could supply. Even a band of human musicians seated on a moving truck never gives the same effect as the same group marching, while a mechanical source of martial music would be a poor substitute indeed. Military life is losing enough of its picturesqueness, what with the steady pass- ing of the horse, the elimination of colorful trappings, and the substitution of whistles for bugles. May the blaring horns and throbbing drums be the very last to go! The Reme y for Lawlessness Denunciation of the present methods of dealing with offenders against the laws of the country by Mr. George W. Wickersham, chairman of the Law. Enforcement Commission, in the course of an address before the American Law Institute, does not advance solution of the problem that is now causing grave troubles in the United States. It is rather self-evident that the process of ‘administering the laws and punishing those who break them is.not effective, if efficiency is measured by the prevalence of crime. The question of real importance is what is to be done in cure of the conditions. Perhaps the commission.of which Mr. Wickersham is the head will in the course of time present specific recommenda- tions, looking to changes in.the judicial system, or in the laws, or in the itive measures and practices in vogue. Obviously, judging from the frequency of prison riots, revolts and tragedies, the penal system is inadequate. The equipment is plainly insufficient. The measures of discipline are not effective. Does the remedy for that condition He in the provision of latger jails and penitentiaries, or in more efficient and dependable ad- ministration, or in a lessening of the number of inmates tion of penalties? Or, to approach the matter from another angle, does the remedy for the prevalent lawlessness lie in a modifi- cation of the penal statutes, in the reduction of felonies to misdemeanors, or the abgtement altogether of penal- ties for infractions of certain laws? In other words, does the remedy lie in fewer “crimes” by change of defi- nition? Study of the records of crime in this country. as far as records are available, leads to the conclusion that the laws as they stand are not enforced in terms of even cases. What with ordinary delays due to court conges- tion, to delays due to the shrewd maneuvering of counsel who, though in theory officers of the court, are in fact in a great many cases active agents for the defeat of the law, with mistrials oceasjoned by lapses in language, or by technicalities, or by the stupidity and incompetence of jurors, many felons in fact escape being felons in law and the suffering of penalties. The percentage of con- victions and, punishments for the crime of murder in New York City, for example, is estimated ‘at’ less than and more overwhelming. The only issue that at this time might-be capable of creating a generous rift in the party would be the wet issue, but that may have fully shot its bolt in the pri- mary, with its 263,000 votes for the wet candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. The only significance of this wet vote now is that it shows Pinchot a minority nominee. He has approximate- ly 13,000 lead over Francis Shunk Brown, who very likely would have received almost the entire wet vote had the contest been confined to him and Pinchot alone. Pin- chot is'a bone-dry, the Vare machine is wet. The Dem- ccrats are not likely to name a gubernatorial candidate who oguld swing the wet Republican vote. At the first & twenty-five per cent. Again, shall the'definitions be changed,‘ shall the scale of felonies be amended in the. interest. of greater leni- ency of treatment in the almost rare event of conviction? Or shall the practices of the courts be amended to insure speedier trials and surer punishments, and. shall: the prisons be increased and enlarged and administered so that those who‘ have forfeited their liberty shall be treated in accordance with their offenses and with re- gard for their possible reformation and eventual reunion with society as docile, law-abiding citizens? Perhaps the iteration of denunciations of the present condition will serve to advance the reform that must come about, in laws, in practices and in penal methods. The country must be aroused to a’ realization that through indifference, or ignorance, or stubborn preju- dice against’ change it is failing to maintain the stand- ard of civilized society in respect to the public security. through the exercise of greater leniency in the imposi- @ dry goods house, he because a clerk on a Mississippi steamboat.

Eads ob- tained a government contract. for such a fleet and within the short space of 100 days placed seven. iron- clads, fully equipped, on the river. Later, they helped capture Fort Henry. In 1874 Eads constructed the steel- arch bridge across the Mississippi at 8t. Louis which ranked for many years as one of the finest bridges in the world.

You can develop the mus- cles at the side of the neck and also the shoulder so that the neck will appear normal. Weight-lifting ex- ercises are excellent for shoulder de- velopment.

H. asks: “Is there any cure for a blocked heart, and what causes a blocked heart? Must I give up all hope?” Answer—A blocked heart usually means stenosis of the heart valves; they have thickened and the open- ings grown smaller. Such conditions can often be relieved through a gen- eral constitutional treatment with Proper dieting and correct physical culture exercises. As the quality of the blood passing through the heart is improved, the valves tend to relax, making the openings more of a nor- mal size. Regulated exercise will also help to correct the incoordination of the heart muscles. (Copyright, 1930, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

But it set him op guard at the same time. He did not want to offend her. And he understood all that she had said to mean that she did not want him to, either. What else could she have meant by saying it would make her unhappy if he kissed her? Clearly, she had put him on a high pedestal. If he fell off, be cause of a kiss, it would disap point her..

Alan got to sleep without going through one of the dreaded sceneg. “When he awoke, in the morning, he thought, with distaste, of break- fasting with her. He wished, for a reason which he did not analyze, that he did not have to see Natalie before he went to the office. It was the guilt of a conscience that had unsuccessfully sought to rationalize his conduct with Phil- =e unter RUTH DEWEY GROVES pa. He told himself only that it would put him in a bad humor for the day to see Natalie. As he made ‘his way downstairs, he began to hum, determined to cheerful if it were possible.

He had a feeling of something slipping away from him; something so well established, so familiar. that it had seemed permanently secured. Alan had yet to learn that after love has seemed to go the little things it had grown upon remain, to die one by one. And that with the death of each little habit, each little custom and usage, there is a sepa- rate pang. It was just this death agony ot an early morning pleasure—beau- tiful Natalie seated across from him at a charming breakfast table, Pouring the delicious coffee—that caused him to turn sharply when the waitress entered the room, and ask, just as sharply, if her mistress ‘was coming down. “No, sir.” the girl answered. startled by his abruptness.

She isn’t ill, is she?” he added uneasily. “No sir; she isn’t ill. But she told me to see you sir. In fact, it is very important.” Alan sat down and attacked the grapefruit. “Yes?” he said, dig- ging at tl unoffending fruit, “Well, what is it?” , “I'm leaving, sir, unless you wish me to stay,” Frances informed him. “What?” Alan was amazed. He knew how highly Natalie prized the girl. . “Yes sir,” Frances went on. “Mra, Converse has dismissed me, and I am not to stay unless you reengage me, sir.” Alan put down his spoon, dropped it, literally. “What's wrong . . .” He bit off the question and got to his feet. “Where is Mrs. Conyerse?”. he asked. .
