CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Bismarck Welcomes Medical Men | , Bismarck today welcomes the physicians and surgeons , of the state within its gates. It is proud to be host to ; 2 body of citizens as elite as these, the standing army « of health that guards its lives day in and day out, an in- dispensable group of the civic body that forms commun- ty and state. Without the vigilance and ministrations ; of these, life would lose much of the happiness associat- « ed with it, certainly much of its comfort and freedom © from troubles and pains and physical misfortune. H The physician has become even a greater asset to the 4 community in these days of preventive medicine and 1 sanitation, whereby illness and disease are denied their * 51d footholds and epidemics are growing rarer and rarer, hile some infections have virtually been banished. The 4 great discoveries of Jenner and Pasteur have revolution- ized the science of medicine and have also revolutionized ' tite by giving it the capacity to immunize itself against ; disease. 4 Something of this phase of the medical man's work 1 ly in their laboratories are almost daily adding new con- tributions to the nature of morbidity, to the science of germology and to the number of nullifying agents by which disease may be combated. Nothing could be more conducive to increased professional skill than to meet and con over these new revelations in the domain of medicine, of hygiene and of surgery. It has been by such cooperation that medical science and surgery have been } brought to such a high state of efficiency, especially in 1 the advances made in the last two decades, in which the mysteries of electric energy, radio-activity and even psy- chological influence have been added to the equipment of the modern healing art. Operations which in another day would have been nothing less than miracles now are daily commonplaces. There has, in fact, been a tre- mendous advance since the beginning of this century up to this meeting here of the North Dakota Medical association. May its members have a pleasant and professionally profitable time during their stay. Bismarck is glad they are here and assures them that in the rotation of a not distant day they will be equally welcomé again. The Old Convention Back South Dakota Republicans the other day gave a polit- feal exhibition that was an anachronism. They went back to the practices of old party convention days and nominated a loser in the primary for governor—chose ; the candidate who had trailed four others in the popu- } lar vote. ; It wes an exhibition like that of Governor Fisher, of Pennsylvania, when he sent to the senate the man whose | Personally-managed faction had been defeated in the + general election for senator in 1926, after the senate : threw out the actual winner, William 5. Vare, in 1930. ! The Pennsylvania instance has been shown in the + primary just held to have been what it was branded at _ the time it was committed—a perversion of the verdict + and choice of the people. From the inside the South ! Dakota imitation may have its good reasons, but out- 1 side it looks very much as though the convention hard- ly exercised the desires of the Republicans of the state | when it nominated Warren E. Green for governor—last among the five candidates in the primary vote. .». However, the action was regular under the law. Un- less the leader in a primary obtains 35 per cent of the | vote, in South Dakota, the election does not count. Miss Gladys Pyle, who led the primary, failed to get that frac- tion. So the nomination had to bé thrown into a con- | *hree vention and ® nominee chosen from the candidates voted on in the primary. Each of the candidates with _ the larger vote felt he should be the choice and was not ‘willing to give in to the other, so the convention chose , the tailender, who was so squelched by defeat that he | ssked nothing and naturally came to be chosen as a non- , fombatant. It all conformed to the Biblical principle that the first a Shall be last and the last shall be first, , _ Perhaps, at that, the best man was chosen. You can ) ‘ever tell. Under the primaries the voters often show |’ no more judgment than a rabble and a mountebank can | beat out a deserving candidate. In these jazz times the | Seap box exercises a potent appeal. Often in the con- |, vention days better men were chosen by practical Ppoli- _ ticians than the voters are able to pick for themselves ,» Under the primary system of today. At any rate the South Dakota practice {s in line with the drift from faith in the primary to a feeling that the old convention had virtues that were not carried over into the new system of nomination. . Automatic Heroism An automobile stalled on a railroad grade crossing in Louisiana the other day. Down the track came a fast train. The engineer, Leon Ford, saw the stalled auto and knew that he would not be able to stop in time. So you try to figure out whether you, yourself, would have acted that way in his place. Probably most of us would like to tell ourselves that we would have been equally heroic. But the chances are that we are only kidding ourselves. We would have meant well; we would have taken a grip on our nerves and done our very best to steel ourselves for the sacri- fice. But—and here is the point—by the time we could have made up our minds it would have been too late. Ford had to make his decision in the twinkling of an eye. In fact, he had to make it automatically. It had to come out of him without the necessity of his stopping to think it over. He had, in short, to be the kind of man, right down to the bottom, to whom an action of self- sacrifice was instinctive in a sudden crisis. ‘That is the sort of stuff that heroism really is. It isn't anything that flowers unexpectedly, without a back- ground. The engineer who dies to prevent a wreck, the fireman who loses his life in a blazing building trying to get some doomed inmate out, the policeman who coolly shoots it out with a gunman and goes down with a bullet in his heart—these men do not suddenly become heroes. They were heroes, all the while. The moment of crisis simply brought it out. And that, in turn, is why our instinct to pay high honors to these men is a sound one. The quick moment of bravery and selfless courage—that is nothing. The disciplined, steadfast life that made that moment's bravery inevitable—that is everything. Shriners Suggest State Shows Pageants such as that of the Shriners’ “Covered Wag- on” at Fargo, Friday, might be staged more frequently with entirely happy effect. They combine entertainment with cduertion and tend to preserve the romance of civilization. In sentiment there are riches just as worthy of accumulating as to dig gold from the rocks. American history abounds in this form of wealth, with its traditions arising out of the discovery by Columbus, passing up through the era of colonization into the war of inde- pendence, the establishment of the government, the pro- cession of presidents with Washington at their head, the rise of invention and industry, the trek into the ‘West of the ox cart, invading the domain of the Indian and laying the foundations of empire, the period of river nd the ‘Fatted Calf’! The Prodigal Son a inc steamboating, the war for the preservation of the Union, the rise of the new West of miners and cowboys and cattle and grain and railroads. Herein are both back- ground and setting for a spectacle such as the Shriners staged at Fargo. Threads of folklore and legend and tradition woven into history which it is good at times to recall in such visualization as this “Covered Wagon” pageant was. Let the West turn more and more to such celebrations. They could be created out of the nucleus of the rodeo and stampede and pioneer days and roundup which are such common picturizations in many communities from which the atmosphere of the broncho and steer era has not yet faded. In that way a rich heritage of romantic history might be preserved through succeeding genera- tions—all pietured in accuracy instead of in research from old records. The “Covered Wagon” was a happy inspiration of Howard Elleworth, illustrious potentate of El Zagal temple, and the credit of its dramatic effect was achieved through the theatrical genius of A. G. Arvold, crea- tor of the Little Theater at the Agricultural college. While the pageant was staged in the eastern part of the state, the western end of North Dakota had a large share of interest in it from the fact that it was almost wholly built up out of material from the western section. Its Indians, its synthetic trappers and scouts and settlers, its cowboys, even its ponies, came from the western end of the state and the setting was the famous Killdeer mountain terrain duplicated in a stagey way. It was not only a picturesque pageant and spectacle, it was a stu- pendous affair to handle. The nobles of the Mystic Shrine did the job well.” Let them repeat it somewhere again. Bismarck would be glad to stage it after its com- munity building is completed and Grand Forks and Minot should likewise be interested in such preservation of the romance of their state. | Editorial Comment The Babe Is All Washed Up (Minneapolis Tribune) ‘The Tribune thinks it is about time that organized baseball stop making a spectacle of Babe Ruth. If the sport is worth its salt it should be able to carry on with- out dragging this once great hitter out on the diamond day after day and force him through the pathetic mo- tions of playing ball. Granting the Bambino could once sock the old apple, he is surely a pitiful figure today. The doddering old gentleman, apparently, has not only slipped, but he has fallen flat on his proboscis. On Wed- nesday Mr, Ruth, who is sometimes still referred to senti- mentally as the Sultan of Swat, went all to pieces at Philadelphia. He couldn't, for the life of him, force his battered, time-wracked frame to connect with more than three home runs. On Thursday Mr. Ruth, who is some- times still whimsically referred to as the Maharajah of Maul, went all to pieces again. The best he could do, and against the bunch of incompetents that serves the world champion Athletics as a pitching staff, was another home runs. Clearly the Ruthian sprit is still willing, but the Ruth- fan batting technique is just hitching along to oblivion. ‘We can’t expect him, unless he miraculously gains hjs old-time form, to punch out much more than a hundred home runs during the present season. It is plain that he can’t by dint of any such senescent swinging, break more than half a dozen clouting records before the world series time. The Babe, unless we are greatly mistaken, is all washed up. The Yankees, instead of humiliating this grand old man of bascball and exploiting the shell of his once brilliant self, should permit him to retire. ‘There are enough good ball players in the world—as wit- Ness our own rampaging Millers—without shoving the likes of Mr. Ruth, who can't hit more than three home runs a day, up to home plate. The Faulty National Origins Basis a (Minneapolis Journal) Senators Shipstead and Norbeck have been defeated by a single vote in their fight to turn back to the 1890 foreign born census basis, as opposed to the present na- tional origins basis, for the computation of immigration quotas. But both insist the fight is not definitely lost, and promise that another attempt to get rid of the na- tional origins plan will be made at the short session next winter. In this effort the Northwest stands solidly behind Sen- ators Shipstead and Norbeck. The national origins plan has greatly reduced the quotas of the Scandinavian coun- tries, the Irish Free State and Germany, while increas- ing the quotas of the Mediterranean and eastern Euro- pean lands. Theoretically, it has widened the stream of English speaking immigration, by increasing the per- centage of admissible newcomers from Great Britain. he did some very quick and unselfish thinking. When a locomotive, traveling at high speed, has to be stopped in a hurry, the brakes must not be applied too suddenly, If they are, the engine is apt to leave the Bails entirely and turn over. Ford, as a veteran engineer, knew this perfectly. So, ‘winout hesitation, he jammed on his brakes. The thing worked just as he had expected. His locomotive jumped Actually, it has done no such thing, for Great Britain has not been filling her new quota. Indeed, under the old plan, Great Britain usually failed to fill a much smaller annual quota. What the national origins plan has done in practice has been to increase the quotas making up the newer immigration, difficult of assimilation, at the expense of the quotas making up the far more readily assimilable older immigration. The Scandinavians, Irish and Ger- mans, who have been coming to America ever since there was any America to come to, are being kept out, to make room for more immigrants of racial stocks unfa- the tracks and careened over on its side. Ford was) miliar with self government and unfamiliar with social killed. But the motorist escaped alive. 4 It is probable that almost any engineer would have institutions akin to America’s. If there are any favors to be shown in an immigration policy, they should be shown the races that flocked to @one the same thing.

But you won't understand just how much | [| predit this bit of heroism reflects en Leon Ford until | of that select band of men who have led the public to| build the nation, rather than to races that were not ready to move in until the nation was already built.

Although the poem made her fa- mous and won for her the honor of being the only woman elected to the American Academy of Arts and Let- ters, Mrs. Howe was one of the most active and versatile personalities of her day. She advocated prohibition, preached occasionally from Unitarian pulpits, was one of the organizers of the American Woman Suffrage asso- ciation and was a zealous worker for prison reform, for world peace and other humanitarian movements. Mrs. Howe’ wrote the “Battle Hymn” at the request of James Free- man Clarke, who went with her and others to visit an army post near ‘Washington. She heard soldiers sing- ing “John Brown’s Body” as they re- turned from skirmish, and while the wounded were being carried to their pallets, she was inspired to write her poem.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY - CHAPTER XVIII r WAS Bobby Lamont’s voice that came to Alan over the wire. Bobby, lonesome and left alone by the servant who was filling Nellie’s place on her night out, followed a childish impulse to talk with his best friend. “Why don’t you come over to see me, Uncle Alan?” he demanded in shrill treble a child uses at the telephone. “I’s awful lonerome.' He went right on talking without giving Alan a chance to reply. “If you'll come over I'll let you look at the new boxin’ gloves you sended me, Uncle Alan.” “How about putting them on for & tew rounds, old man?” “Oooocce! Will yout” “Be right over, Sonny.” Alan didn’t know why he prom- ised, unless it was that he didn’t want to go to bed, and there was nothing else to do at home. He had tried to read on the train, and found it impossible to become inter- ested in the news, Magazines and books had even less appeal. Bobby was at the front door to welcome him when he arrived. The boy had on his sleeping suit and @ bright red sweater pulled awk- wardly over it, His arms were filled with boxing gloves. “I brung down yours too,” he sald, and dropped them all to fly te Alan and get bis customary big Loss. “Why the sporty costume?” Alan asked when he put Bobby on the floor again.

He carried the boy upstairs pick- aback, and so thoroughly enjoyed himself during the “workout” they had, that he only thought of Natalie half the time. But Bobby tired finally, and Alan had to let the maid put him to bed. FTER that he wandered home, and went to bed himself, to toss and turn, and seek vainly to escape his thoughts. Just before daylight, he fell asleep. When he awoke, he had only 20 minutes to catch his train. He rushed out into the hall and called to Frances, When she came up, be gave ber his instructions through a crack in the bathroom door. “Bring up a cup of coffee and put {t down somewhere; then cali me a taxi. Tell them I've got to make the next train.” He didn't want to b preceding day, when he'd missed his regular train, be found so many people waiting in his office to see him, that he had to give up most of his lunch time to unfinished morning business. Even then he had an uneasy conscience concern- ing several neglected matters. “Natalie certainly picked out a nice time to put the skids under me," he reflected bitterly. as he tried to check the flow of blood from.a small cut on his chin. “With the market behaving like a prima donna, I’m half licked to begin with.” Frances brought up a toasted ba- con sandwich with the coffee, Han- nah had insisted upon it: she said the poor man ought to have some thing. Alan tried to eat in in snatehes while he dressed. On the train he suffered an attack of indigestion and began to feel sorry for himself again. eee ‘HEN he reached the office he ‘was as cross as @ bear with @ sore toe, and didn't know when he | would write to Natalie. Phillipa was unobtrusively pa- tient with him. She knew Natalie had gone. Alan had told her, very sketchily, th y before. Phillipa had sensed he was not interested at the time in her reaction to the in- formation, so she concealed it from him, Woday it was just the same, ex- cept near closing time. Alan was getting his hat and coat, when the prospect of dining alone suddenly became unendurable to him. He rang for Phillipa. She came in, ready for the street. “Dine with me?” briefly. Phillipa hesitated, a trifle of- fended. She made a quick recov- ery and was considering some way of accepting that wouldn’t make her appear too willing when Alan smoothed the way for her. “It will be an act of mercy,” he said earnestly. “Ot course, I'll go,” Phillipa sald, and go intoned the words that Alan thought her decision was warmly impulsive, After dinner they went to the theater, then to a club to dance. Alan got home too tired to sit up and write a letter. Not only that, he wasn’t certain of what he wanted to say to Natalie. He was fearful of spoiling their chance of future happiness together by en- couraging her in her ufteasonable- ness. : She should, he felt, be allowed time to realize what a goose she was. Still, he wanted very muck to write to her. His eyes turned often to his desk in the corner, while he was getting ready for bed, but he resisted the temptation. Just before he fell asleep he thought of Phillipa, of her unfail- ing understanding. For one thing, she had not nagged him fer argu: ing with the waiter over a minor matter, he recalled. “She's a real girl,” was his grate- ful verdict. “She knew well enough that realized I was making a fool of myself. If Natalie only had balf her sense . . = to Alan said 1B uncompleted thought was with him in the merning. He greeted Phillipa with a touch of warmth, when he paused at her desk on the way to his office. She smiled brightly and Alan was reminded vaguely of morning glories, of some shining cheerful- ness, There was not even a shadow of fatigue about her. True, she hadn't had to commute such a distance after her night of pleasure, as Alan had, but her ra- jship of those who are thinkers, and oH EXCLUDE FEAR Fear is like a shadow following many people wherever they go and whatever they do. Fear is a vicious habit that deforms the intellect and vitiates the health. It might almost be termed a cancer of the mind, so corroding does it become if un- checked. ‘We must understand the mental causes which lead to fear if we are to realize health in its fullest measure. You may eat the right kind of food, use sufficient exercise, and inhale fresh air deeply, but if your mind is constantly worried and harassed by the destructive emotion of fear, you will never be able to obtain the best of health or the satisfaction of a con- tented life. ‘The power of the human mind may be used asahelp either for health and happiness, or, if not controlled, a hindrance. There is no neutral ground. If you do not create a healthy mental viewpoint when you are young, you will find that it is harder to correct as you grow older just as the lines of the face deepen with time. Few people realize how much fear guides and shapes their lives, espe- cially when developed through carelessness of parents who train their children to think of fear rather than of courage. When children are brought up.on “must nots,” “can’ts,” and “don'ts,” they usually develop an attitude of fear and suspicion as they are hourly told of new things to avold instead of being taught in a constructive way just how they can get the most out of life. How often have I seen the truth of the saying, “The thing they feared came upon them.” ‘Those who fear financial losses usually become bank- rupt. Those who fear sickness often develop the disease which they most fear. Those who are afraid that peo- ple will not like them generally are disliked. Anyone who has this fear habit will do well to study the ways and means by which he can develop his mental as well as physical courage. Most of the fears which trouble people are non-existent, and anyone can learn to substitute good mental pictures of strength, confidence and courage. Of course, you should try to make your body as strong as possible by the right physical training, good food, suffici- ent sleep, and the right kind of exer- cise, but one should also train the mind by the right kind of entertain- ment, thought and mental activity. Read good books, cultivate the friend- try to accumulate enough savings 80 that you do not have to worry in case of an emergency. It is surprising how fast ® few dollars regularly saved and carefully invested will accumu- late. Speculation does not pay. as a rule, and even when one is lucky the mental anxiety and worry which are usually expended in gambling invest- ments only wreck the health and vi- tality. - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Anemia Question: Mrs. T. asks: “Will you Hunter she'd had than to her pleasant frame of mind. And then there had been the warm bath her mother had pre pared for her at exactly the tem- perature she liked best.

Phillipa had laughed good-naturedly at her father. She could afford to be toler- ant, she told herself. Alan's wife had carried out her oftentimes re- peated threat at last. He was no woman’s man now. * Why shouldn't she be in a gala mood? Why shouldn’t she look bright and shining? She was con- scious, as Alan gazed at her, that he knew she was these things. She felt no need to hide it from him. “You're looking as fresh as a daisy,” Alan told her approvingly. “No one would guess you'd danced until one o'clock this morning.” “I don’t get tired when I’m hav- ing a lovely time,” Phillipa replied. “But you were out with a terrible grouch,” Alan said. Phillipa’s eyes grew meltingly tender as she looked back at him. “I thought you were splendid,” she said softly. Alan laughed, a bit selfcon- sciously. “I'm glad you weren't an- noyed with me,” he said, and stopped. Happening to glance quickly toward the outer office he noticed several of his employes were watching him. “I'll be ready for you in about 10 minutes,” he said, turning baek to Phillipa. Two or three of the stenogra- phers smiled, that all-wise smile, when Phillipa powdered her nose and rouged her lips afresh as soon as Alan had disappeared into his private office. She didn't care if they understood her gesture. She had the power to discharge anyone of them. They might as well leara now she con- sidered Alan Converse her own par- ticular game.

Pernicious or primary ane- mia is due to the blood cells being destroyed through a very deep-seated toxicosis. Secondary anemia means that the anemia is secondary to some other trouble where there is usually leukocytosis, or increase of white blood cells. Secondary anemia occurs in such disorders as cancer, tubercu- losis, pyelitis and other disorders where there is a large formation of pus. Doctors who advise liver for anemia advise it only in cases of per- nicious anemia, and not for the sec- ondary anemia form. Receding Eyes Question: Mrs. L. W. asks: “What makes the eyes shrink and recede as the| it were after the age of fifty?” Answer: The eyes appear to recede more into the skull whenever one loses much weight. This receding may occur at any age when the weight reduces below the individual's normal weight, and, of course, this often occurs with people of advanced age. Tubercular Spine Question: W. O. B. asks: “Do you think anyone with a tubercular spine should exercise? And do you think that paralysis is caused by injuring the spine?” Answer: One with a tubercular spine must be very careful about ex- ercising, but such a patient can usually exercise other parts of his body without moving the spinal verte- brae too much so as to cause undue irritation. Certain form of paralysis might be definitely produced from spinal injury, where the spinal cord or nerves are affected.
