Peter Schiele may attract a lot of attention within the pnext few days. He is the man who was arrested at Towner after es- caping from custody eight years ago and who, unless something unforeseen happens, will shortly be brought to the state prison here to begin serving the sentence which the has heretofore escaped by reason of his break from custody. Schiele is the man who, after his escape, went to Pon- tiac, Michigan, and who now operates a garage there. During the eight years he has acquired a wife, and four children have been born to them. If the so-called in- exorable law takes its course, the garage will be deprived of @ proprietor, the children will be déprived of their father and the wife will be deprived’ of her breadwin- ner. But somehow, we rather hope that the law will not be so blind, unless there is some real reason for its be- ing so in this particular case. ‘The state's dignity has been insulted other times far more seriously than Peter Schiele could insult it and very little has been done about it. ‘The question which arises in Schiele’s case is what good will be done by his serving a term in prison now? ‘Would the state or any individual profit, and would any- one lose? ‘There may be a lot of things about this case that we know nothing of and we make no claims to being an expert in penology or the reformation of criminals, Yet, some things about the case strike us as obvious. In the first place, Schiele seems to have been conduct- ing himself as a respectable person during the last eight + years, As to his record before he was sentenced for stealing an automobile, we know nothing. But during the last eight years he has evidently been performing the duties of a citizen ang a norma! family man, looking after his business and taking care of his wife and chil- dren. As we understand it, the law has three purposes in placing a man in the penitentiary. The one stressed most strongly is that his time in prison is to be devoted to reforming the individual. The second, and this is soft-pedaled for the most part, is that the individual should be punished for his misdeeds—provided of course that he is caught and convicted. The third is to furnish an example to others, who might be tempted to trans- gress the law, and thereby encourage them to keep on the straight and narrow path. We look over these principles and apply them to Schiele’s case. There may be some sound arguments as to why he should go to prison, but what they are does not appear on the surface. ‘The thing that stands out like a lighthouse is the fact that he now is the father of four children and husband to a wife; the head of a household which he has built by his own efforts. To deprive those children of their father now may be the means of increasing the prison population at some later date. In fact, the only one of the three reasons which re- tains any basis of justification for sending Schiele to prison seems to be that of punishment. To wreak s0- ciety’s revenge upon the wrongdoer. In this case it will be revenge, true enough, revenge upon Schiele and still greater revenge upon his wife and children. If this were the Middle Ages one could get real satis- faction out of the state thus demonstrating its power to the weak and the helpless. But, since this is the United States and the twentieth century, it-seems to us like gross stupidity. ‘The Tribune gives no support to the wrongdoer. It sheds no editorial tears on the shoulder of the man whose revolver snuffs out the life of another in a rob- bery. It sends no editorial flowers to brighten the path of the professional criminal. But this case does appear to be different. If this stupid thing is enacted, the state pardon board must bear the responsibility. The law-enforcing of- ficials have no choice but to send Schiele to prison. ‘The pardon board, however, can take appropriate ac- tion. The emergency board, consisting of the governor, attorney general and chief justice of the supreme court, meets regularly to hear pleas of men who are in prison and who want to get out. It is only a matter of 10 minutes to call this group together. Usually, they meet only to consider a definite applica- tion, and it seems to us that an application should be of the pardcn board should investigate the case on their own initiative. A parole could be granted and the rec- ord kept clear without subjecting four little children to the loss of their father, and that without apparent necessity. The thing which makes the whole business look s0 médddle-headed is the presence of that wife and those children. One can never say, of course, but we cannot help but wonder, if Schiele goes to prison, what the verdict will be in that eternal court of review when those four chil- dren appear there as witnesses. What Makes Heroes? Western North Dakota had an opportunity this week to ‘The occasion was those hours of horror at the silo on the Tony Neidhart farm near Hebron. ‘The heroes were Neidhart’s children who gave their work and performing the du- Of good citizens. His children were his helpers on farm, just as thousands of other boys and girls are tragedy. Up trom the muck im the bot- ‘tom.0F the slo came poison gases as deadly as any which = were liberated on the battle fields of the World war. The father and one of his sons were overcome. The others, not reckoning their own danger, went to their assistance and succumbed also. It is a simple story and one easily told. It is a story of forgetfulness of self and of bravery in the face of danger such as might form the Subject of an epic. The significant thing is that these folk were just like the rest of those who populate these prairies. We have many unsung heroes about us, if we only knew the stories which live in the innermost depths of many hearts. We have thousands more who would be heroes if the occa- sion offered. Heroism isn’t found most often in the high places of life or those which command public attention. Just as often it is found in the everyday pursuits with which all of us are familiar. In the case of the Neidhart children, it was found in the muck at the bottom of a silo. Power of the Press? Folks who still believe that the press is an all-powerful institution, a veritable modern juggernaut which sub- verts the mind of the people and molds it to the will of the invisible powers which are supposed to control the printing presses of the land, will be startled by the result of the Louisiana election. Governor Huey P. Long, seeking the senate seat long held by Joseph E. Ransdell, was opposed by practically every newspaper in the state. It was Long who last winter proposed a tax on newspaper advertising and who, by various end sundry other means, managed to in- cur the ill-will of Louisiana publishers. When he sought higher political honors there was no need to organize them against him. They were against him spontaneous- ly and of their own will and accord. Long's election demonstrates that the press is not all- powerful, even though it has some influence. Wide- awake publishers have known that for a long time. That is why many of them have given up the rather thankless Job of trying to mold public opinion. In many cases it only subjects them to suspicion as to the motives which actuated them in choosing the mold. Probably the newspapers of Louisiana will gain one thing from their experience in the election. They may have learned that the real function of a newspaper is not to support partisan activity in political campaigns but to give the people the news facts, unbiased by pre- jJudice or partisanship, and let the people decide. Somehow we have a hunch that the people of Louis- jana are as capable of doing that wisely as the people of North Dakota. And in the people of North Dakota we always have had implicit confidence. The High Price of Yachting Betty Carstairs’ nonchalant announcement that she has spent more than $500,000 in the last few years in her attempt to wrest the speed boat championship from American hands in an illuminating commentary on the expensiveness of this particular brand of sport. Indeed, yachting probably stands today as the most expensive sport available. There is simply no limit to the amount of money that an enthusiast can pour into it. The sailboats that competed for the honor of de- fending the America’s cup cost over $1,000,000 apiece. A Pleasure yacht like Vincent Astor’s or J. P. Morgan's can cost $200,000 a year simply for upkeep. Nevertheless, the poor man can have his whack at it, too. For a few hundred dollars he can get a boat and outboard motor that will take him over the water at a dizzy clip. For a little more he can buy a neat cabined cruiser or sailboat. Yachting is an aristocratic sport, but it does have a democratic side. A Silver Linin; The present business ‘depression is able, but it does have a brighter side. For example: The mutual savings banks of the nation reported that during the six months period ending July 1 their deposits gained $274,000,000, whereas a loss of $83,000,000 was reported for the last six months of 1929. People are caving their money nowadays, instead of drawing on their savings for stock speculation. To that extent, at least, the stock market crash has been a boon. Similarly, big business organizations are being forced to adopt more efficient measures, The prosperity of 1929 | and preceding years bred a good deal of slackness and lost motion; this is being eliminated, and in the Jong run business will be the better for the depression. This, of course, is cold comfort to the worker who has lost his Job. It does, however, indicate that the cloud has a silver lining. ot exactly enjoy- elisa atc oe Me ace | Editorial Comment | Market for Entertainment (Wilton News) It is reported by the department of commerce that miniature golf has already attained the dignity of a $100,000,000 industry, and that its rapid growth is exert- ing some effect upon our general business life.

Hardly a week passes that there is not someone knock- ing at our doors in a highly trained manner for a most worthy charitable organization or object. Each beggar these days has an ingratiating smile, a cap, a tambourine, credentials and hard luck tales suf- ficient to make a hard-hearted business man weep—and donate. So skillfully do these professionals work their sales psychology that we find ourselves feeling rich and with a desire to help all the unfortunate ones in the Often we broke ourselves and be placed in the baby's toward paying gasoline and hotel bills, who prefer traveling and collecting to staying at home and working sweet charity and the Lord. to restrain ourselves a bit. A long winter is coming in North Dakota. Our own babies must eat, and most of us would not make enough to permit our staying at the best hotels, if we started out begging for them. As a matter of fact most of us are regular suckers, récognized as such by most of the boys who put ap band caps and ingratiating smiles and pick us for spending money. There are plenty of worthy charities right at home. Real Salvation Army workers have regular cred- entials. It is known that the American Red Cross Operates with a very low overhead; that all but a smail of the money you donate actually gues for the relief of suffering humanity.

In fact, the composition of fish closely resembles that of lean meat and con- tains no starch. Fish is rich in potassium, phos- phorus and sulphur, but deficient in sodium, iron and silicon. For this reason it should be use in combina- tion with leafy vegetables since they will supply the needed elements. The salt-water fish, especially, offer vary- ing degrees of iodine which is valu- able in preventing goitre. The best way to buy fish is in fillet form. The fish fillets consist of the muscular parts of the dish which are cleaned, boned and wrapped to come to the kitchen all ready to be used. Among the more easily digested fishes, you will find the sole, halibut, sea bass, pickere!, fresh cod, tom ctxt, perch and black bass. These fish do not contain as much fat as some of the other fishes, such as salmon, mackerel and herring. Fish may be boiled, broiled, grilled, fried or stewed. Broiling and baking are the best methods to use since they preserve all of the nourishing elements and do not interfere with the digesti- bility of the fish. In boiling fish the water should be salted, as otherwise the fish becomes soft and breaks apart. Fresh fish are easier to digest than that which has been pickled, smoked or canned in oil, One of the most delicious ways to serve fish is to use it with veget=bles, and a salad of to- matoes seems to assist in the diges- tion of th? fish when tomatoes and fish are used at the same meal. It is best not to use starch with a fish meal, but as many cooked and raw non-starchy vegetables as desired may be used. No milk shoule ve used with fish.

H. writes: “Please tell me what causes the arms to go to sleep and get numb at night. Is this because of high blood pressure?” Answer: If you know you have high blood pressure you have doubt- less answered your own question, as this does cause the arms to become numb. Valvular leakage of the heart is also sometimes respons: 2le for poor circulation and numbness in the arms. Sauce for Vegetables Question: Mrs. J.C. D. asks: “How can one prepare a palatable sauce for green peas withort discarding the juice, and without making a ‘wrong’ combination?” Answer: A recipe for this kind of sauce was given in last Friday’s week- ly menus for creamed spinach.

I can dig up a piano player, and we can get some kind of an outfit for you from the wardrobe. That dress you have on looks pretty tight to kick around in.” . Anne Winter eagerly agreed that that was true. “And these heels are high, Mr. Bell.” She knew that Mr. Bell approved of her frock; his eyes bad said as much. It was white, as were her sandals. Her stockings were the color of bare legs. And she knew that her hair was very black against the brim of the tight-fitting white hat. She watched nim as he picked up the telephone and issued a few low-spoken orders, and when he hung up he turned to her and said he wanted her to meet Mr. Hurley. “Do you happen to know Fred Hur- ley, the director?” he asked, and shook her head. “Well, act your prettiest for him, Miss Winter. We're picking a cast for his picture. It’s a musical com- edy.” He told her ‘presently that Garry Sloan had been satisfied with her work in “Married In May” and that her voice was very good. “Do you sing?” he asked. They were walking along a palm- lined path through the courtyard, on their way from the administra- tion building to one of the studios. It was Hot in the sun, and Anne felt grateful for the moment of shade when-they paused for the guard to open the gate. ex: SF= told the casting director: “You ask difficult questions, Mr. Bell.

You've no idea how closely every foot of film is watched, and you've no idea how many eyes are looking you over while you're working, no matter how insignficant your job may happen to be—especially if a girl seems to have screen charm.” He felt, he said, not noticing the quick look of inquiry that Anne darted at him, that the motion pic- ture companies owed a great debt to the extras of Hollywood. “We can’t get along without them, and it’s a shame we can’t do more for them.

I forgot to tell you that he plays the piano, so we won't need anyone else. Let’s sit down for a minute; then you can duck into one of those dressing rooms and slip into your costume, It’s pretty brief,” he added smiling- ly, “but I have an idea it will be quite becoming.” Sitting beside her in the cool dusk of the studio, he told her what he had in mind in asking her to dance. “There’s a chorus in the ‘|picture, of course, and some good song numbers. We've got a pretty good dancing group around here— you've probably run into them now and then. Would you like a chance at that?” “Why, if I could,” Anne said, a bit doubtfully.

But bis manner told her that he did not expect her to be conscious of bare legs and arms. He said, “How do you do, Miss Winter?” and he shook hands. And he turned to Bell and said, just as though Anne were a mile away instead of right there beside him: “She’s a pretty girl, Harvey.” Bell laughed. “What did I tell you?” And he turned to Anne and asked her if she was ready to entertain them with a few steps. “Mr. Hurley,” he said, “is a wow on the black keys,” Hurley laughed and sat down, struck a preliminary chord or two, and began to play.
