CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Flower Show Bismarck’s annual flower show, which closed Satur- day night, attracted more than 1,000 visitors and was in every way a credit to the community. The attendance was large, it is true, but not as large | as the beauty of the exhibits justified. Thousands missed an opportunity to feast their eyes on a spectacle of rare beauty. | The Bismarck Yard and Garden Club is performing a real service to Bismarck and,the whole Missouri Slope area by sponsoring these shows. They bring home to all who attend the value of a garden both from the stand- point of production and that of satisfaction to the spirit. The example set here was followed this year by Man- dan, which had a creditable display at its first flower show held recently. It is to be hoped that other com- munities also will follow suit. Bismarck’s gardeners will | continue to do their best, but no one would be happier than they, were some other Missouri Slope community to produce bigger and better blooms than those shewn in Bismarck. One of the fine things about gardening is that it is an avocation in which almost anyone may engage. Flowers | grow just as well for the poor as for the rich and one need not have schooling of the formal type to have an appreciation of beauty. The distribution of prizes to so many persons in so many different classes is an incentive to those who grow flowers, but who failed to enter blooms at the recent show, to make entries in the future. An appreciation of the beautiful is a gift which God, in his goodness, gave to most of us. Persons without it are poor indeed, regardless of how much material wealth they may boast. And beauty lovers had fheir fill at the flower show. Only a relative few of the exhibits met the technical requirements necessary to win prizes, but every flower shown did something toward lifting the spirits of those who attended the show and putting them in closer touch with the Infinite. Another Period The death in Bismarck of Philip Blank, New Salem pioneer, puts a period to the end of a long and useful life. It also marks the passing of a type of man who has done more for North Dakota, perhaps, than any other class of citizen. Blank was born in Germany and came to this country as an immigrant. It was his adopted home and he loved it, for the country was good to him and he prospered here. When he came to the untilled prairies of North Da- kota near New Salem, Mr. Blank was a member of the famous colony which settled that place. Their in- telligence and industry have made:it one of the most prosperous regions in North Dakota To Philip Blank and those other pioneers who colonized North Dakota, their descendants owe a debt of gratitude. Their prosperity has its roots in work done more than a score of years ago. The state is grateful to them also, for they have made splendid cifizens and their descendants are proving them- selves worthy citizens also. If there is one lesson which their life histories bring out more clearly than others it is the lesson of simple faith, a realization of America’s opportunities and the value of hard work. An Arctic Adventure If a finer tale of high adventure than the story of | Captain Andree and his companions has hit the front pages in the last 10 years it is hard to say just what it was. ‘ When a band of hunters stumbled bver three frozen corpses in the wastes of Franz Joseph Land they brought to a conclusion one of the great mysteries of the age. Nothing had been heard of Andree's expedition for 33 years. The man had become one of those bizarre, appeal- | ing figures that take on an added covering of romance because they simply vanish. He had drifted north into the Arctic silence and the silence had swallowed him. Every new polar flight, every new polar tragedy served to recall his disappearance. He became a sort of legend with the primitive balloon in which he dared 2300 miles of utter desolation. Now the mystery is over. When Andrce’s diary—pre- served, most fortunately, for the world to read—is print- ed the last haze of uncertainty will go away. We shall know just what happened to him, to Frankel and to Strindberg. We shall know how they met their deaths, what they said and thought and did as they finally real- ized that their adventure was doomed to disaster; and it will be knowledge that we would not miss having. It is easy enough to say that Andree was only a dare- devil who accomplished nothing. Certainly his venture was a tremendous gamble. To try to drift across the top of the world in a free balloon is risky enough, in all conscience—especially swhen you remember that even today a flight of 600 or 700 miles is usually long enough to win first prize in an international balloon race. Yet one imagines that even if Andree and his men could have known in advance just what was going to happen to them, they would have gone ahead anyway. True adventurers and explorers are like that; which, Probably, is why mankind always has an unquenchable admiration for them, For it is always worth something to see a man over whom the fear of death has no power at all. Most of us never escape from the shadow of that fear. “Safety first” was our motto long before it became a printed slogan So when a man sets off for Arctic fastnesses or tropical jungles or man-killing desert wastes and gambles with that it could have been otherwise; the Andrees, the Amundsens and the Scotts died as they would have another explorer who went to the polar loneliness to dic—“Here died a very gallant gentleman.” The Silent Army Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic met again today at Cincinnati, Ohio, a bent and tottering few of the millions of strong men who fought to save the nation from 1861 to 1885. Much has been said, and rightly, of the debt which the nation owes them. And back of them one sees an invis- ible army—the army of the dead. Not only those who served from ’61 to '65 but every one of those who fought and suffered for their country in time of peace as well as time of war, women as well as men. es The present-day schoolboy probably has little appre- ciation of that faded blue uniform, that old campaign hat with the gold insignia at the front which’ was the standard uniform of the G. A. R, member. He has far greater appreciation of the still young and lusty mem- bers of the American Legion or of the Spanish-American War Veterans, fewer in number and graying now, but still strong. Comparatively young men still can remember when the G. A. R. was a power in the land with hundreds of thousands of strong and vigorous members. But the |G. A. R. slipped from the scene. Gradually at first and then quickly, until the meeting at Cincinnati today is a mere shadow of the group which once met in a spirit of true fellowship and sang “Tenting Tonight” or “John Brown's Body” with the hearty vigor of soldiers out for a good time. In Bismarck and Burleigh county a very few remain. Lads of 20 at the close of the Civil war in 1865 are men of 85 now. So it is inevitable, as the G, A. R. meets again, that we should think also of that great silent army of the na- tion’s heroic dead. The men who bore the nation’s bur- deps in,time of stress; those who laid down their lives on the field of battle; who suffered the hardships of war; whose bodies bore the wounds and scars of con- flict. We think first of the G. A. R. and then of the heroes of America’s other wars back to Concord and Lexington and the beginning of the Revolution. It is a silent army, far larger and more powerful than any ever assembled on the face of the globe. It is more powerful because it set the traditions and the standards of present-day America. And America will prosper as a nation in accord with the manner in which it holds aloft the torch of freedom which that silent army has handed down to us. More Speed in the Air The prediction that New York and San Francisco will eventually be linked by over-night air mail service—a prediction that would have sounded foolish only a year or so ago—is beginning to seem a great deal more reason- able, in view of Captain Hawks’ 12-hour flight from one ocean to another, Speed in the air is becoming more and more common. dust at prescnt, undoubtedly, it would be impossible for a regular air niail plane to maintain, or even attempt, a 12-hour schedule across the continent; but when ‘the way in which aircraft designers are constantly develop- ing new and improved models is considered, it seems quite possible that the thing will be done in the near future. You might notice that it is just 18 years since an aviator made a great sensation by flying all the way from Jacksonville, Fla., to San Francisco. It took him 151 Looks like Chicago is getting all the publicity in other countries.

They will make a few flights at state fairs and then—retire- ment. There is more of course to the continued flight because of the ability to test motor and plane, than there are to these tree sitting stunts, perching on flag- poles, marathon dancing and other vénts of similar na- ture that really call for nothing outside of the free pub- licity the person gets because there is nothing to be proved to aid science by the acts. The daily papers have spent thousands of dollars in aiding these freaks, both newspaper space and pictures of the stunters and the reading public are becoming disgusted with the splurges over the front pages of their favorite paper. The sooner the dailies eliminate the stunters and much of the gang murder cases, the bet®r off they will be and their readers will appreciate the regular visit of the paper all the more. City Streets and State Road Money (St. Louis Post Dispatch) While sympathizing with the need for more etreet money, St. Louis can well hdsitate before it approves the: plan of Director of Streets and Sewers Brooks to request of the state a portion of the state road fund for the added width to which some of the city streets must be built by reason of being state highways. For more than 10 years St. Louis has occupied a posi- tion of leadership in an uphill fight to force upon the rural sections of Missouri a program of high type high- Way construction. In the beginning many Missouri com- munities were unable to visualize the benefits which Would accrue to the state at large from a unified state highway system. Largely because of the unszlfishness of Si. Louis and other populous centers, this opposition gradually has disappeared until now little of it remains. In the campaign two years ago for the supplemental $75,000,000 road bond issue, which had its inception and chief support in St. Louis, the state was promised com-,| pletion of the state highway system and the construc- tion of a large mileage of so-called farm-to-market roads within ‘seven years. That promise cannot be kept unless all the available road funds are devoted to its fulfillment. A diversion of any portion of the fund to build city streets in St. Louis, or Kansas Gity, or any other munic- ipality, will only postpone the completion of the state rat system in the rural sections, where the chief need Such a plan could be carried out, it would appear, only by an amendment to the state highway law, which prohibits the expenditure of state highway funds in any municipality, with one inconsequential exception. It permits the highway commission to build those portions of state highways in municipalities where the houses on the route are not less than 200 fect apart. It is true that St. Louis, through automobile licenses and gasoline tax, pays something like one-quarter of the money which goes into the road fund. It is true that none of this money is returned to St. Louis in road or street constructi Eut it is a mistake to take the posi- lion that St. Louis does no profit from the fund. Every completed state highway gives rural Missouri a more ready access to St. Louis, and rural Missouri is tating advaniage of its opportunity.

Showing great precocity as a boy in mathematics and the physical sciences, Lavoisier was carefully edu- cated at Mazarin college. When only 23 he received the prize offered by the French Academy of Science for the best and cheapest means of lighting city streets. Two years later he was. demy. He first turned his attention to chemistry in 1770, when he began experiments in combustion. After four years he published his Phys- ical and “Chemical Essays, in which he described his own theory of combustion which later was to form the cornerstone of modern chemistry. He determined that in all cases of combustion, the matter with which the combustible substance combines is, in all instances, “vital air,” termed today oxygen. Lavoisier was of considerable serv- | ice to his government. He Iintro--| methods of agriculture on scientific principles, participated in the prep- aration of the metric system and formed a plan for simplifying the collection of taxes. After the Revo- lution this connection with the gov- ernment was the occasion of his in- dictment before the Revolutionary tribunal, by which he was condemned to the guillotine. He was executed on May 8, 1794.

There ar: many gentle things which you can do for a sick person to ease his body and bring him comfort, such as bringing him a toothbrush so that he may brush his teeth. During sick- ness the mouth usually feels foul, and it is a relief to the patient to have a mouth clean and sweet tasting. Also, see that the face, hands and nails are kept clean. In feeding the patient who is ill, keep the tray attractive; even if he is living exclusively on orange juice, it may be served in a nice clean, shiny glass, set on a clean doily in an at- tractive plate. Provide plenty of dis- tilled water for the patient to drink. One of the first signs of convales- cence is that the ill patient notices the cheery light of the sun and wants to enjoy it. During a relaxing period be sure to darken the room so that the stimulus is removed from the eyes. If the patient wishes to be read to, then read some pleasing or cheerful ; news or book, but if he shows that he would rather lie quietly, do not dis- turb him. Do not keep up a steady stream of conversation, for sick people tire of talk even more quickly than well ones. Getting well depends a great deal on faith and confidence. Keep up the patient's faith while you are doing 2verything else for his welfare, and he is a long way along the road to recovery. Never talk to the patient on harrowing subjects. Leave the latest murder, death, sickness, acci- dent and such news alone. Do not tell him of other cases like his in which the patient died. If the patient is in bed for more than a few days you must take pre- caution to avoid the bed sores. This can be done by giving the patient an air pillow to place under his hips to lie on, and by sponging off the parts, which are pressed against the mat- tress, with alcohol each day.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Brain Irritation Question: H. A. 8. asks: “Would @ feeling of semi-consciousness before going to sleep and when awakening be caused from a brain trouble? Are there any cures for an inflamed brain?” Answer: Inflammation or {irritation of the brain can certainly be cured it proper measures are taken in time. The semi-conscious feeling which you have before going to sleep is probably due to digestive disorders and because your stomach is upset from the eve- ning meal. Should One Go Hatless? Question: J. H. writes: “I recently read an article which condemned the almost universal habit some men have of not wear! hats. This article contended that the habit made these men susceptible to various illnesses, especially ear trouble, and that the practice was, as a whole, detrimental to health. I, myself, have not worn a hat for years, and notice no ill effects. And I know young men who - have played football every year for three years in slush, mud and rain and none of them has had any ill- > ? nesses. What is your opinion about this?” Answer: It should not be neces- sary for a man to wear a hat except in bad weather, and if the scalp be- comes used to the climate the man is living in, there is no reason for using a@ hat except to conform to conven- tional standards so as not to appear queer.
