It prob- ably is the most distinctively American holiday we have, No other nation has one like it. Christmas and New Year's are universal, although not all nations observe them on the same dates and not all nations call them by the same names, Even heathen nations have holidays which correspond to them, how- ever, ‘Thanksgiving has something of the same quality. Here in America we have the tradition of the Pilgrims land- ing on the grim shores of New England as a historical background, but other nations, and those far removed “€som American influence, have had similar holidays, cel@orated at the same season of the year, from time Ececns of.July would seem to be unique. It is the nation’s birthday-and always the occasion for widespread observance. But other nations have similar holidays. France has Bastile day and Canada has Dominion day. ‘There are others for other nations, each commemorating an important event in the history of the nation celebrat- it. 2 ae day, which is now Discovery day in North Dakota, has something of the same quality. It commem- grates a deed of the dim and distant past. * But Labor day is @ holiday set aside for the people at . More significant, tt is set aside in recognition of rt which the labor of its citizens has played in the development of America. It is dedicated, not only to the living but to those most active among the, living, the men whose work causes the wheels of progress to turn always forward. i In*some uations the natal day of the king or ruler may be a holiday. In America the president's birthday ‘s hardly more noteworthy than the birthday of any ther citizen, but Labor day is different, It is Labor's @wn hollday, the tribute of the nation to the mass of producers which hes made it“great. The foundation of this nation’s greatness is the will to work and achieve in proportion to the opportunities which a young land thas presented. In pioneer days capital and the splendid mechanical resources of today were missing, but there Awa progress just the same. ‘When the Garden of Eden was closed to mankind for- ever and the edict was given that thereafter man must earn his bread in the sweat of his brow, it doubtless was @ penalty of major proportions, but America has made |. that edict a blessing. The most successful men in Amer- "dea today hardly would be happy if they had no work to do. The plane upon which honest labor has been placed in this country is such that the really worthwhile per- gong of the nation respect and admire the work which " g@ man does, In addition, they respect the man who does ‘ ‘work. a Pimaplcally, of course, Labor day is & product of the Labor union movement. Other nations have had guilds and crafts but it remained for this young nation to take the germ of the idea and make of it an instrument beneficial to the whole economic and social structure. Labor unions have had their troubles, of course, and fn some instanves the power which they have acquired hhas been abused, but it is difficult to call to mind any other single thing which has contributed to the advance- ment of the average American in the same degree as the labor union movement. It has been, like a cake of yeast working in the eco- nomic system to improve conditions for non-union as ‘inion workers, The idea of an honest day's pay _ for an honest day’s.work has obtained almost unanimous ‘Adoption. The theor) of a workingman’s right to or- for the purpose|of bargaining with his employer longer is stra, It is an accepted part of the “economic system. on one side and s too-fealistic class con- the other have vanished. %, No Chance Mr, Joseph Stalin, who exercises more real power as head of the Russian Soviet government than was exer- ‘(ised by any of the weak-minded czars who preceded the ccmmunist debacle, recently made a speech. It con- tained» number of things of interest to America and to every loyal American citizen, ‘Mr. Stalin is a strong man and presumably intelligent, e though uneducated. His is the iron hand which greater in area than the United States. mailed fist which sent Trotzky, and Who did not agree with his idea of into exile, It is his brain which has activities of the soviet and there is no deny- ey have been many and intricate. im: Mr. Stalin talked about communiém p America. He predicted itd successful overthrow of ‘Present so-called “capitalistic” social structure in mear future. And thereby Mr. Stalin proved that } is better versed in thegentle art of handling Rus- slans and enforcing his on the soviet political ma- an he is in habits of mind. Stalin is quoted as saying: “An important change bene over the development of the class war in the States. And this change, the present develop- } Bolshevist action in the United States, has been prepared at Moscow with the} greatest carc. I consider that the Communist party of the U. 8. A, is one of the few communist parties to which history has contided ecisive tasks from the viewpoint of the world revolu- tionary movement. The revolutionary crisis has not yet arrived in the United States, but there are already numerous indications which lead us to believe that it is near, The American Communist party must be ready to meet the crisis fully armed to take over the direction of the future class war. You must prepare yourselves for this, comrades, with all your strength and by every means .... The soil is catching fire under the feet of American capitalists, too, for they are not an exception, This is so evident that only the blind, or the deliberate enemies of the proletariat, can fail to see it.... The Third International has enabled the Communist party of America tc reach a stage where it can actively pre- pare the masses for future revolution.” If Mr. Stalin's statement were true, or contained even any strong resemblance to the truth, there would be just cause for uneasiness and alarm, To any common-sense American, not to mention the virtue of patriotism, com- munistic domination of this land is unthinkable. As might be expected .the professional enemies of communism in this country are very much excited about Mr. Stalin's remarks. They are making a great to-do about it and working themselves into a fine frenzy about @ subject which is, to most of us, purely academic. It seems unlikely that a belief that Mr, Stalin is correct in his prophecy is responsible for their anxiety. More probably they are merely trying to work up a little in- terest preparatory to collecting more money from what- ever sources have been supporting their particular brand of propaganda. But the whole proposition seems silly to the average North Dakotan. He has heard no one whom he respects advocating communism, it isn’t a live issue here and there is no sign that it will be. The,man who advocates communism earns for himself only the contempt of all classes. Even the youngest schoolboy feels that Ameri- can liberty was too dearly bought for the government to be handed over to an oligarchy such as that now rul- ing at Moscow. The whole thing presents two puzzles to the average mind. One is why some Americans should get so excit- ed about it and why they should make it their business to try to excite others. The other is how can Mr. Stalin, who has been able to build for himself a position of great power, be so wrong. No one would deprive Mr. Stalin of his dreams as long as they are only dreams. As for them coming true, it is quite obvious there is no chance of that. The Spectators’ Danger The tragic accident to Lieutenant De Shazo’s plane at the Chicago air races emphasizes once more a point in connection with shows of that kind that we often tend to overlook—the fact that there is apt.to be a certain ele- ment of danger to the spectators in thrilling stunt- maneuvers performed over a huge crowd. Forunately, De Shazo's tragedy cost only two lives. Re- Ports from the field, however, indicate that a catastrophe of much larger proportions was averted only by @ nar- Tow margin; and that fact ought to stand as a warn- ing to the officials in charge of future air shows. The magnificent skill of the army and navy flyers, and the splendid construction of the planes they fly, are the spectators’ only guarantee of safety. Stunt fly- ing is perhaps the most exhilarating spectacle there is; but it will be in the highest degree lamentable if any show such as this in Chicago is ever spoiled by a dis- abled airplane plunging into a crowd. New York is to see a vigorous campaign against food racketeering. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the head waiter will get his usual tips.

North Dakota is a comparatively sparae- ly populated state of 700,000 and it is not particularly wealthy. Yet through eight holdups since last spring, over $60,000 has been paid to the cause of crime, $40,051.58 being the actual sum taken by bandits, with none re- deemed.

It is high time that People began to realize that there are a few traffic regulations which must be adhered to if one is to go about one’s business in any degree of safety. It is more Or less ineffective to mention speeding, people want to get places in a hurry and 25 miles an hour won't hasten matters. However, there is no reason why such rules as slowing up for crossings, coming to a stop or a slow crawl going from aide roads onto highways, and atten- tion to one’s head and tail lights, should not be obeyed. Several incidents of trucks driving at night without tail lights have been reported. Efforts should certainly be made to check such practices, Unemployment and Charity It would be interesting, if anybody could find out, to know how many families and individuals in the Uni- ted States habitually live on charity. Poorhouses are disappearing. In most sections of the United States the town pauper is a thing of the past. But there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps a million, of @rown-up people who do little or no useful work, who earn nothing which in dollars and cents, and still manage to survive, somehow. The nation-wide agitation of the past few months over the unemployment situation has revived interest in this subject and has disclosed some interesting and peculiar conditions. The total number found to be out of jobs, ‘when compared with the total number usually employed, showed a disere; Particularly in the large cities, discovered that most of the ,unem- Ployed didn't really want work. They either .wanted a. particular kind of work, which was not available at the time and place, or they wanted charity. In several parts of the country large farmers were trying to get labor, and were willing to pay high wages, but the unemployed of the cities not go to the country. In all probability more real distress and suffering has been caused by the wide-spread drought than by the in- dustrial slump which followed the Wall Street crash. in which charity is called for, in many es. The policy under which the federal government “is planning relief measures will mingle charity with j-like methods. Federal funds will not be given away loosely, nor will they be lent on in- sufficient security, if President Hoover has his way about it. Each case of suffering will be judged on its own merits. A man’s know what sort of a man he is. If he is shiftless, a poor farmer, the type which can never get ahead, it would be a waste of public funds to leud him money with which to get a fresh start. Better let the Red Cross stake him and his family to food enough to tide them over until he can get another job. That is charity. But the farmer who owns his land and will ut a up as security for a loan from the federal farm loan & or whose neighbors will indorse his notes to the federal intermediate credit banks, is on a different footing.

Ant a diana’ NOW GO ON WITA THE STORY CHAPTER IV \ T was Monday morning. Re hearsals were to start that day for “Grim Holiday." Dan Rorim settling down at the desk in his tiny office and staring out of the window at a drizzle of rain, looked back on two weeks of idleness and fervently hoped there would be work for him in tho forthcoming production. Even if a lot of changes {p the script were neces. sary, he wouldn’t mind—not unless they changed the framework of his story, Tt would at least make him feel like an essential part of the ma- chinery of this organization in- stead of a human fifth wheel, for- gotten in a little coop of an office with 9 typewriter, a desk and a couple of chairs, and a window that looked out upon numerous parked automobiles, When Continental Pictures bought bis story the executive at the New York office had informed him that the studio contemplated {mmediate production. Rorimer bad thought “immediate produc. tloo” meant just that, and was sar. prised to find on his arrival nothing had been done beyond t! preparation of the scenario. le had read that, had been impressed by its technical craftsmanship. Looking back over those two weeks, Rorimer smiled a little bit- terly at the recollection of his re ception et the Continental lot. He had beep introduced to the pro- ducer, no less, and that important and busy individuel had ordered that Rorimer be shown the sights, The studio manager had invited him to lunch, introduced him to vartous directors and scenario writers at the table, who had greet- ed him pleasantly, pausing long enough in their game of throwing dice to see who should be stuck for the meal checks to bid him welcome to Hollywood. One of the directors said, “It you're not doing anything this afternoon, come over on Stage Five.

Maybe I don’t need to tell you that.” “I hope not,”. sald Rorimer. “Well, its not pretty to write a nice magasine story, or a book, and have somebody kick it all eround for you. But try to remember that the production of a talking picture is an expensive proposition; this one will run more than $6000 a day and it'll probably exceed its budget at that. . .

Collins was the director who had been so pleasant to him his fret day at Continental. “When he makes a suggestion,” Gregg sald, “it’s usually a sound one.” ‘ “I've heard he's very good,” said Dan. “I've got only one kick; why—" Gregg interrupted with a patient smile, “Why did they give your story to Atwood?

He shook hands cordially, said he had read Rorimer’s story, “Grim Holiday,” and liked it. “Good story. Good writing.” His words were clipped, precise, bis ac cent British. Rorlmer felt a little ashamed; but, studying the almost feminine beauty of Atwood’s perfect features, yet persisted in the conviction that the man had been miscast. He went back to his hotel that evening, tired but elated. He hadn't realized the tension he had been working under until he was driving back in bis car. Now he lay stretched out on his bed, relazing cramped muscles, regretting the large number of cigarets be had consumed. They had dulled his appetite—and Paul Collier would be calling for him at seven to take him to the Wampas dinner down- stairs. He smiled, thinking of the pleasyre he would take in telling Collier about Anne Winter. “So you were out of town in case she had a friend, eh?” -* But Anne didn’t have a girl friend; she lived alone. This he had learned upon taking her bome Saturday night. She had a tiny and uncheerful apartment—one toom and kitchenet—and was dis- satisfied with it, She wanted some thing better but couldn't afford it alone; she expected sooner or later to find a congenial girl to share something nicer with ber.

Too had she was up against such a tough \ proposition; just one in 20,000—or thereabouts, he supposed —trying to crash the movies by the extra royte. . . . Maybe Collins could do something for her.

H. J. writes: “I like to know through the column something about the care of the gums. In two or three places in my mouth where the gums extend downward there is a noticeable redness, and when brushing them, and often dur- ing the day for that matter, they bleed quite a bit. Is there anything that will remedy thig condition?” Answer: Cut down your stomach acidity by living on the right diet and have your dentist treat your teeth and gums. You are undoubtedly suf- fering from pyorrhea or alveolar ab- sorption, and need both local and con- stitutional treatment. Lunch Box Problem Question: H.
