Logan Payne Co. c CHICAGO YORK NEW BOSTON ; Memorial Day 1 The impress of a war mightier than that which in- * spired the inception of Memorial day has come, as the ; blue lines of the old defenders of the Union fade away, to claim that observance for the titanic conflict which engulfed almost the entire world. To a new generation with actual memories of the World war, that struggle with its recency has come to overshadow the remoter civil clash of the sections. The survivors of the European + battlefields are taking over the day and preserving it i from that decay which the vanishing vestiges of partic- * jpants in the civil war gave threat of happening. + What then has Memorial day come to signify in this ; Shift of gravity from the days of ’61 to the days of 1918? Helen Welsheimer, in a Memorial day editorial prepared for a syndicate newspaper service, has caught the spirit of the change and tells it in words that flash fire and ‘lines that flame. Nothing finer could be said about the day as she says it, thus: i Men are marching on many streets today. Old men whose battle songs make faint music now, and young men whose lips still whistle the tunes that brought courage when they followed the flame of a scar- Jet banner in an alien land, are keeping step again. The spirit of crusade has come back for a little while and age and youth seek the accolade that comes to those who go forth to right a wrong. The streets down which they come and the thronging crowds fade away, and the soldiers take dim trails again, as the bands strike up the martial challenge. Across the Argonne, Chateau Thierry, Soissons, down Flanders way men march again, mud-caked, bruised, bleeding, going to death perhaps—but going unafraid. Khaki lines swing by to keep a tryst with yesterday. j And as they march thin lines of older men, in faded 1 blue or gray, catch the same refrain and follow tattered flags across the field to Gettysburg, Vicksburg and other famous, half-forgotten fields. Their trail is a longer one. Weeds have made a tangled way across the paths they took when their suits were new and their steps were sure. But the goal they sought is-as shining as that which their sons and grandsons fought to win in the wars that have followed. , There will be a hush in the waiting crowd and the drums will be muffled sometimes while a bugle sings a requiem for those who do not march today. There will be tears in many eyes for men who lie in the graves on which loyal hands have placed their flowers, and for another group which sleeps in green beds where poppies make a crimson riot. ‘Through the ages there has been a thrill to marching men. Ever since the first knights went forth, steel clad, to seek the Grail, high exultation has gone with those who fought a good fight. But today. words of peace are coming with startling clearness as they pierce the smoke from thousands of years of battles. After all, there can be little happiness in any drama, splendid though its stage, if there are tears ‘when the curtain falls. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend,” we have been told. However, if a way is found which will permit men to live that life for others there will be greater rejoicing as the parades go by. “Peace on carth, good will to men,” make a mighty challenge. It was to fulfill its prophecy that the men who march today once went to war. The Ubiquitous Telephone More than half of the 32,712,284 telephones in the World are in the United States, according to the latest eensus, which credits 19,341,295, or 59 per cent, to this country. Europe has less than half as many as the United States and only 28 per cent of the total of the World. In the 1929 increase the United States also leads, about half of the 1,726,908 added phones being credited to development in this country. Germany ranks second to the United States in abso- lute number of telephones, but has only 4.6 telephones per hundred population. Great Britain has 3.8 and France 2.3. Argentina, with the same telephone density as France, outranks the rest of South America. Japan and the Union of South Africa lead their respective con- tinents, each with 1.3 telephones per 100 population. Quite as striking as this wide diffusion of telephones in the United States is the superiority of American over foreign cities in the extent of telephone service. Out of all cities in the world with populations of more than 200,000 the 51 American cities of that class had an aver- age of 22.8 telephones for each hundred people, while only two foreign cities attained such a high development. The sum of the telephones in two American cities is, greater than the combined telephones of four continents. New York alone has nearly as many telephones as Great Britain and more than half as many as Germany. Chi- cago has nearly as many telephones as France. Los Angeles hes more telephones than either Italy or Rus- sia. San Francisco leads in the relative number of tel- ephones, with one for every three people. On April 3, 1930, the countries wholly or in part connected with the United States by telephone were Argentina, Austria, Bel- Published by the Bismarck Tribune Company, Bis- marck, N.

A more melancholy end for a gallant adventure would be hard to imagine. Canada and Nationhood Canadians have something new to clash over. nationhood. The imperial conference in London in 1929 removed | numerous restraints of the mother government from the dominion. This concession to dominion ambitions, it seems, has but whetted the desire for independence among a certain element of the Canadians. Anyhow | the contention has been made in the dominion parlia- ment that Canada has virtually acquired nationhood by ; these concessions. It is the stand which Premier King’s | government takes. With the contention has gone a de- | mand that such a status be exercised. This could be | done in the making of treaties. It is over this extension | of authority that the contention as to the actual status of the dominion has arisen. | | It is; issue with the Premier King majority on the assumption that Canada has acquired an equal status with England. He uscd the proposal to ask the imperial parliament to sanction the transfer of the prairie provinces’ resources from the federal to provincial authority as the constitu- tional test of the matter. It was idiotic, he said, to claim an independent status in the face of such a request. The Proposal would presume no constitutional change of the scope the nationhood proponents claim. This situation is full of interesting: possibilities, in view of the degree of independence gained by Ireland and of the unrest in other dominions of the empire to attain a more detached status. One can only watch and wait to see what will come of it. It is inevitable, however, that with increasing development the desire of the Canadians must grow more and more pronounced for dealing with their own affairs entirely unhindered by the London government. What proportion of such authority has The Intricacies of Law (Duluth Herald) transient was held up and robbed of twenty dollars. A and had him arrested. judge put him under a three-hundred-dollar bond to make sure that he would be at the trial as a material witness. Unfortunately he did not have three hundred dollars and could not raise it, so he was sent to jail. There he stayed about four months. ‘When the trial took place the robber was convicted and his victim was freed. The court did have decency enough to allow him a hundred and twcaty dollars as witness fees to pay for his involuntary confinement. Reason is the presumed basis of most laws, but com- mon sense in their application is apparently lacking in some courts. Half a Loaf Is Better Than No Bread (Forbes Magazine) Half a loaf is better than no bread. Since a five-power naval treaty proved unattainable, a three-power treaty is better than no treaty. The layman cannot presume to judge whether this, that or the next allotment of ton- nage is precisely fair to each of the powers; but the Jayman can have—and should have—an emphatic opin- jon about the desirability of international cooperation looking to progressive reductions in armaments. The layman in every civilized country—with the possible ex- ception of Italy—desires peace. The layman, too, de- sires less burdensome taxes. The layman, therefore, is cordially in sympathy with every sincere effort by the leading powers to reach an equitable measure of dis- armament all round. Because we have more wealth than any other nation is no reason why we should follow the kaiser’s ill-fated example and arm to the teeth regardless of the effect upon other nations. To shout “Have nothing to do with Europe” may tickle the ears of the ignorant and the prejudiced; but every intelligent person knows that such @ slogan is a mischievous shibboleth and that modern civilization has so knit all nations together that we would find ourselves wallowing in chaos were we to attempt to “Have nothing to do with Europe” or were Europe to boycott us. We're in the world, part and parcel of the world, and cannot—powerful and mighty though we are —hold ourselves aloof from the world. Riches breed pride and exclusiveness among individuals and families, Are our riches in danger of breeding na- tional pride and exclusivencss? There are few more profound truths than the age-old admonition, “Pride goeth before a fall.” “What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with they God?” A Virtually Impeccable Record (New York Times) As the little child lay asleep in its cradle the good fairy came and stood over it and pronounced a charm designed to safeguard it through the years against the time when the child should have attained ripe man- hood and be nominated by the President of the United States for a place on the United States supreme court. The good fairy waived her wand and pronounced a decree to the effect that during 20 years immediately pre- ceding his nomination for the high court the child should never express an opinion on any subject even remotely controversial, in the form of public speech, letter or din- ner-table conversation. For 20 years he should have nothing whatever to say on’ prohibition, labor, negroes, the tariff, railroad regulation, internal improvements, naval policy, agricultural depression, public utilities, edu- cation, the family, the young generation, the proper Jength of skirts, aviation, Antarctic exploration, the new novels, municipal home rule, winter vacations, traffic regulation, skyscrapers, cigarets. ‘And so it happened. When the nomination was sent in, the senate judiciary committee undertook an exhaus- tive scrutiny. The committee reported that it found the candidate on record as sternly opposed to widow-burn- ing and the man-eating shark and as inclined to look with sympathy on the new planet X. The committee therefore found him eminently qualified for the highest tribunal in the land and he was confirmed by 83 votes to Maybe We Need Never Have Bad Times (Detroit News) A luncheon club speaker exhorts, “Now is the time to get ready for returning good times.” Everybody at the table nods approval.

Washington, who was at that time defending New York, saw in Clinton's move an attempt to get control of the Hudson by slow approaches. With this in mind he determined to check the advance by striking at the new ost. Accordingly, he sent for Anthony Wayne and asked him if he would storm Stony Point. Tradition says that Wayne replied, “I will storm hell, if you will plan it.” Washing- ton planned, and on July 15, Wayne stormed the point in what one his- torjan called “one of the most bril- liant assaults in history.” With more than 500 of their men taken as prisoners, their guns seized and works destroyed, the British had to give up hope of getting control of the Hudson. A subsequent attempt of Clinton to lure Washington away from the Hudson by sending ma- rauding expeditions into Connecticut likewise failed. —_—_—_=_a_=_Ere=—_—v—a—a—a—a—aeeee Quotations ( — ood “It has become more and more dif- ficult by viewing many drug stores to tell whether they are drug stores, ——$_________—-~> Today Is the | department stores or tea rooms.”— x oe OK “I wonder if it wouldn't be better Mf there were more jails and more people jailed."—Rev.

It was not that she failed to re- call it—how she went into his office, and found him sitting with his head bowed on his arms, and how she followed a sudden impulse to comfort him. She was certain that for a mo- ment Alan had been on the verge of taking her in his arms. Then he seemed to heed some inner ad- monition that prompted him to draw back. For he suddenly be came abrupt with her, almost rude. Phillipa smarted under his treat- ment, but she was smart enough to wait until the hour was hers before attempting to make him pay for it. She remembered very clearly, as she told him in a quiet voice, that she would be glad to go, that she owed him something for the day before. But, of course, if he sur rendered—she smiled faintly up at him—that would wipe out all debts, To give him a fair chance she was as pleasant as she knew how to be when they met again, Alan had waited outside her home in a taxicab.

At least, that’s what I've heard.

At home that night his bitterness grew. What was wrong with him? What was wrong with the home he provided? He glanced about the liv- ing room, where he went to look over the day's mail, and found no fault with it, a setting for a woman even as exquisite as Natalie. “Maybe she thinks she ought to be in a palace,” he said to himself, but he knew he was unjust in that. Being half right and half wrong irritated him. Natalie had always been ambitious for him. She wanted success, but she had not been greedy or unieasonable in the matter of material possessions. Alan was deliberately trying to re- member only derogatory things about her. 1t helped him to think softer thoughts of Phillipa. * And his soft thoughts grew softer as more days went by and atill Natalie did not write to him.

I am giving them codliver oil, but they both have these dark circles around the eyes, and I would like to know how to correct it.” Answer: Dark circles around the eyes of children are usually caused by some toxic condition, or by not getting enough sleep. As your chil- dren are overweight, it is possible that you are giving them too much Tich food. I would suggest that you feed them according to my “Children’s Diet,” an article which I will be glad to send you upon receipt of a large self-addressed envelope. Belching Question: Mrs. K.H. J. writes: “I am continually belching up large | quantities of gas. It seems as though most anything I eat causes this, even when I use the right food combina- tions. Sometimes I simply take a drink of water and may start belch- ing. What'is the cause of this?” Answer: Belching is usually caused by an excessive amount of food. However, some people develop a habit of belching, and alternately swallow and bring up air in the effort to re- lteve the full feeling experienced when their stomachs have something in them. Once the habit has formed it is difficult to overcome. The cure is to stop overloading the stomach and to learn to control the acquired practice of sw-llowing air.

He belleved he considered bis home life tn that house at an end forever, but in reality he clung to the idea of re- turning to It. After all, hotel life was not to nis liking.

She knew enough of life to be reasonable about it, She to | wouldn't narrow down to the notion that one life ever could, or should, be completely submerged fm an- other. Natalie wanted too much of him; that was the trouble. Phillipa was different. He kept going back to that. And why couldn’t he care as much for her— in time—as he had for Natalie? He did not realize that he thought in the past tense when he thought of his love for Natalie. It would have been a shock to him to say: “I don’t love her any more,” But every consideration he gave the future was predicated upon the fact that he was falling in love with Phillipa, And Alan Was not a “two woman” man. .- He began to visualize his secre tary in his home, There was no great thrill in creating the mental picture; neither was it displeasing to him. Well, perhaps .. .

All that was doubtful about her she managed to color with an air of honesty that Alan little suspected was only a | pose.

He was with Phillipa most of the time, and al- ways telling himself that she would make a wonderful wife. She knew what was going on in his mind. He was constantly re ferring to marriage, moralizing on it and revealing his belief in every- one’s right to happiness.
