CHICAGO NEW YORK An Aftermath of War ‘William Phi» Simms, an experienced writer on for- eign affairs, recently undertook to tabulate the revolts, insurrections and armed struggles that are engaging the attention of the world this fall. He found, when he got through, that nearly three- fourths of the population of the globe is involved in actual or potential uprisings. ‘Unrest stirs practically all of South America. Peru and Argentina are putting their houses in order after sudden revolutions. Brazil is in the midst of a desperate civil war. Communists are ready to march on the capital of Bolivia, Venezuela is ready for a revolt. Chile barely nipped a revolutionary plot in the bud. In Europe the situation is little better. Spain. and Portugal are smouldering with insurrectionary fires. In Poland, Pilsudski is striving to stamp out new flames of discontent. Hungary prepares to proclaim youthful Prince Otto as its king, and Jugoslavia, Rumania and Czechoslovakia are ready to invade her if she does. The Balkans are full of dire rumors and portents. Russia is making ready for war. Germany, swept by a Fascist wave, debates the repudiation of the Versailles treaty, while France makes ready to fight if such a thing does indeed happen. In India the revolt gets more widespread instead of less. Civil war continues to ravage China. Egypt 1s still unsettled. Palestine js full of disorder. Persia and ‘Turkey are snarling at one.another across the border, while the Kurds raid both lands impartially. Thus Mr. Simms sums it up. It is nearly a dozen years since the end of the war that was to end war, but the peace of the world was never more insecure. ‘Trying to figure out what it all means is a task for experts only. Yet one would not be far wrong, probably, if one traced the whole business, in one way or another, back to the World war. That conflict ended in the fall of 1918, but the forces and the ideas which it set in mo- tion are still working. India, China, Europe—do not all of their difficulties stem back to the things that were done between 1914 and 1918? Is it possible to under- stand any ‘of them without studying their relationship: with the war? When we talk about the World war we usually con- sider it simply as the most destructive explosion in hu- man history. What we often fail to realize is that it marked the end of an epoch. It is still too early to ap- praise its effects. It is still working. It may be that the turmoil, the change, the unrest that were born of the war will still be operating 30 years from now. And as we watch them we shall get a new idea of the expensive consequences of the world’s folly in 1914. The Individual and Unemployment A comprehensive system of unemployment excharses, organized both geographically and industrially eo that every locality and every industry not only provides for its own workers, but is tied-in with others in some form of @ cooperative clearing house system is advocated by Sam: E, Lewisohn, industrialist and philanthropist, in the Engineering and Mining Journal. He says: “If a certain amount of job-losing is necessary, then the task of job-finding to balance it must be made as simple as possible. One of the difficulties of solving the un- employment problem is the indifference of business and industry. “If all employers ware to apply those methods of man- agement which are already known and tested, the amount of chronic unemployment would be so reduced that the Proportion left to government treatment would be com- paratively unimportant. “There is no panacea for unemployment in any, coun- try or any industry; there are remedies for each. in- dividual case and most of these remedies are’ within the power of every employer to apply, alone, without government aid, without tariffs, without elections.” : Mr. Lewisohn’s ideas are in line with the best tradi- tions of Americanism. The prosperity and success of America has been built upon the sum total of individual accomplishment. The leadership of the government in’ any important crisis cannot be discounted. Persons in high governmental positions attract attention and have some influence, but when all is said and done the work |’! of the individual, multiplied as many times as there are individuals, is the important thing. There is every rea- son to believe that the nation is adjusting itself on a new basis and that jobs will multiply when employers generally feel that basis is sound enough for them to build on. . A Very Good Airplane The workmen who put together the monoplane Colum- bia evidently did a good job that they can be extremely proud of. Seldom has a piece of machinery given @-bet- ter account of itself than this famous airplane. Clarence Chamberlin took the monoplane across the Atlantic without.s hitch, It survived the tobogganing that Charles Levine gave it, made a flight from New York to Havana and flew from the American mainland to Ber- muda, and back; and now it crosses tHe Atlantic-again, as efficiently as if that perilous and difficult flight were the simplest thing on earth. If all of these flights had been made with the same Pilot at the controls we would be gaping, awe-struck, at the pilot; but half a dozen different aviators have guided the Columbia through the skies, and the ship has Performed well for all of them. Apparently this grace- ful little monoplane is about as good an airplane as ‘was ever built anywhere. ———_+. » ———_ Broadcasting and Spo Now that the world pT Mes el for an- other year, the American radio fan is settling down to get his football out of the loudspeaker; and it occurs to us to wonder how long it will be before the big broad- casting companies get around to hiring real sports ex- perts to describe great athletic events. Tt 1s no criticism of the regular broadcasters to say that they are not fitted for this job. Describing a base- ball game, @ football game or a prize fight is a job for ‘@ man who has had special training. The ins and outs of _ these games—the fine points that the average fan wants THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER. 16, 1930 to hear about—tend to escape the eyes of an observer who isn’t thoroughly acquainted wih them. The result is that the radio fan often gets let down badly. A newspaper would not send its police reporter to cover the cpening of a new play, no matter how good he might be at covering his own field. Why cannot the broadcasting companies be equally sensible? Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published with- out regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Neither Right Nor Sportsmanlike (McLean County Independent) “Posting” is fast becoming the bane of the hunter. It is prevalent in this county, and all over the state, and the posting law thus deprives the sportsman who is not fortunate enough to have friendly property holders at his beck and call of much good sport. On the other hand, this law reserves good hunting grounds for a favored few, and really gives property holders pos- session of wild game which our state statutes declare are the prope:ty of the people, or rather the property of any person who pays the stipulated price for a hunter's license, keeping in mind, of course, the fact that the state wisely places a limit upon the number of game birds each hunter may shoot. This is a phase of the hunting privileges and restric- tions that is widely discussed, and generally condemned, and one which should be rectified and clarified. This phase, however, is not more important than another one which pertains to the conduct of hunters who find it necessary to cross upon or use the property of others while enjoying the hunt.. Some hunters, and there are many of them in this county according to reports, are without a sportsman’s conscience. They seem to have no regard for the rights of the owner or occupant of the farm land they wish to cross. In one particular instance, on a farm in the Blackwater section, according to the aggrieved farmer, a gate was left open, and two horses, recent purchases, wandered through the gateway and made their way to Watford City, where they were pur- chased, making it necessary for the owner of the horses to spend about what they were worth to find them and bring them back. In some instances, fences have been cut, and permitted | to remain down, and in other instances, where fences were not too formidable, automobiles have been driven through them or over them. This is a vicious practice, and one which cannot be too severely condemned. A hunter can be a good sportsman, and this pernicious practice is more flagrant when it is carried on on farms which have not been posted, thus giving the hunter a privilege denied him by other landowners. No true sportsman will stoop to practices of this sort. They constitute perfect cases of unlawful destruction and trespass. Such things would not be permitted in towns or cities, and the offense is equally as reprehensible when it takes place in the country. = Let's have a little more sportsmanship along with our hunting. Home, School and Penitentiary (Minneapolis Journal) ‘Two public officials of Minnesota have lately stressed the home as responsible for many infractions of society's laws. J. J. Sullivan, warden of the state penitentiary, declares thirty years’ study of prisoners’ life histories has convinced him that the largest single cause of crime 1s failure of the home. Mrs. Margaret Dieudonne, super- visor of attendance in the Minnesota public schools, holds that home failures are among causes of truancy. Neither. observer indicts the home as sole seat of delinquency, but both set it high among the factors of nonconformity. There is this difference, however, between the treat- ment of school children and adults that break the rules. ‘The school attendance agent looks deeper into causes than does the law's officer who must deal with criminals. ‘The truancy officer, says Mrs. Dieudonne, no longer drags the truant by the scruff of the neck back into school. Instead, the child is regarded as a reasoning creature, however wrong may be the line of reasoning. ‘The truancy officer now tries to discover why the child shuns school. Perhaps it is a fault of the school it- self, instead of 4 lapse on the child’s part; if so, the way is made clear to a better understanding. On the other hand, the een be to blame, peed pre ve Seger to cooperate child, This, too, the: lance: agent seeks as .' His point of altace teint the early years of the children. But the youth who'falls afoul of ‘the law gets little such aid. He is dragged in as was the old time truant. ‘The law has an attendance agent, the probation officer, who may be called upon in first offenses. But in the main, society gets its chance at the offender after de- velopment of his delinquency into criminality. Also it has less power of restraint and correction over the adult, except in one way—incarceration. i) These two commentators on society’s methods of cor-'|’ rection happen to hava spoken contemporaneously. Their utterances converge upon the need for early attention to the individual. If the child’s most important relation- ships—those with home and school—are deficient, then society needs to concern itself more deeply in the mat- ter of remedies. For the boy that is father of the man may easily become father also to the criminal. Aud the warden’s finger, pointing at the home as a crime source, should be a warning not only to parents, but to com- munities that make contact with the child—and thus with the home—through the school. The Gamble of State and County Officials (Hettinger County Herald) Every state and county official in North Dakota these days is going about with a lottery ticket in his pocket —a ticket that may entitle the holder to a present of from $6,000 to $30,000 on a gamble where he has nothing to lose, and everything to gain, charges Knud Wefald in an editorial appearing in last week's issue of Nor- manden, relative to the proposal to come bejore the voters in the general election of extending the office terms of state and county officials to four years, where they now have two. Urging‘ every voter, no matter of what faction or polit- ical shading, to vote against the proposal, Mr. Wefald declares that the question is to be submitted to the voters in. the form of an initiated measure, and that “it was initiated by people who will benefit.by its passage.” Remar! further on this topic, the Normanden editor says: “The, amendment is deceptive. If it passes it will give both state and county officers, who will be elected this fall, another term, without having to go through an- other election. Yet, when people vote in November, they vote with the intention of giving them only a two ear term. be “It will be very nice for state and county officers to be elected to the present lawful term of two years and then to wake up on the morning after election and find that the people have handed them, on a silver platter, an extra two years’ term, that they openly did not ask for and that they are clearly not entitled to. Some of them may not even be deserving of the extra term, after. snes Daye completed the term to which they have been elected.” + The biggest talking point of those favoring the meas- ure, he states, is that it will save the taxpayers money because if adopted it will reduce the number of elec- tions.’ He brands this as a deception playing on the ignorance of the voters,.and that there will be just as many elections as before, a statement borne out by a cece irc handed down by the state attorney gen- eral’s office. Russfa in the Wheat Marketi (Center Republican) « “The theory of the Soviet government of Russia seems to be that if every economic institution in the world can be destroyed, in some mysterious way the “common people” will be benefited thereby, It is based on the old Marxian Socialist idea that hunian nature is essentially honest, capable and industrious and that, given a chance at his own share of the world’s wealth, every man would keep his hands off the other fellow’s share, do his own of the world’s work, and all would be happy. is as wrong-headed as its author. Every- knows anything tt human nature knows e way humanity is constituted. Everybody knows anything about economics knows that the way rity is not to begin by tearing down of industry and business. But the That is clearly the motive behind the Russian gov- ernment’s effort to depress the price of wheat in the United States. By “short sellihg” in the Chicago mar- ket, the secretary of agriculture states the Soviet gov- ernment has “beared” the wheat market to the financial detriment of every wheat grower. But we have no idea that this will accomplish its apparent purpose, that of turning American farmers into Bolshevists, > re Who Killed Cock Robin Kg _ Today Is the Anniversary ot FIRST ETHER OPERATION On October 16, 1846, Dr. William T. G. Morton, a dentist of Boston, after experimenting upon himself, administered ether’ for the first time as an anesthetic in an operation at the Massachusetts General hospital at Boston. A number of spectators who had gathered to witness the operation showed skepticism at Morton's ap- Paratus to put the patient, a young man, to sleep. Morton proceeded to administer the ether. In a few min- utes he looked up and said: “Your. patient is ready.” The audience incredulous, watched in silence as the incision was made through the skin. The patient nei- ther struggled nor cried out. The operation was continued and a tumor removed. - ; When the operation was over, Dr. Warren, the surgeon, turned to the “CHAPTER XLII Sie sfound: its mark on - Garry Sloan's nose and the big director staggered.

When he opened his éyes again Sloan was bending over him with a worrled look on his face, Blood was flowing from his nose. It ran down in a dark rivulet over his mouth and chin. He said anxiously, . “Are you-all right, Rorimer?” Dan nodded and managed a fee ble smile. An anvil clanged in his head and Sloan was a hasy vision to him, kneeling there with one arm around a girl who slumped be- side him and shook with violent sabs. He could feel the man’s other hand beneath his neck, propping him up. Sloan’s strained features relaxed at the other's smile, “Sure you're all right?” he repeated, and Dan as- sured him he was. To prove it he got up unaided and stood on his feet. 'm sorry, Rorimer,” the director said; “sorry as hell. 1 went off my nut.” He. turned his attention to Anne then and pressed his mouth to her ear and told her not to “It's all right, Anne; every- all. right again, Buck up Things slowly became clear to} ‘Rorimer again, as though he were emerging. from a fog. He put his fingers against his jaw and they touched a tender spot'where Sloan had hit him and knetked him un- conscious, and he suddenly felt that’never before in-his life had he been as ridiculous as this; for there was Sloan with his arms around the trembling Anne Winter—the Lord only knew what had happened to Anne—and here he was rubbing a sore‘chin after a bad licking. All because he had stuck his nose into somebody else’s effairs, Sloan had been decent, too—very decent—more so than he had a right to expect. He ought to be sore, Dan went over to him and he said, “I’m sorry—terribly sorry. It Was my fault, the. whole thing. I made an awful sap of myself.” “It’s all right,” the other assured him with a bloody grin, and he held out his hand for Rorimer to shake. It was his left hand; the other arm was around Anne Winter. “We all fiy off the handle once in a while, I guess,” Sloan smiled. “Forget it. Forget it and say something to her, will you? I can’t get a rige out of her. She's scared out of her head.” Sloan himself spoke soothingly to Anne again, but his words had no effect. So Dan held her-and mur audience and declared, “Gentlemen, this is no humbug.” Inhaling a vapor to produce in- sensibility to pain was a process so rests with state and local authorities.” —President Hoover. * * & “If women are wise they will be- new at that time that the word!!ccme a growing power, but in the anesthésia was not in use in the lan- guage when Morton gave his demon- stration.

He spoke sharply to her. & fe're going back, Anne. Come along. We're going back on the set and you're going through that scene. Understand?” Rorimer heard voices not very far off, coming nearer to them— the crew, most likely, coming back for the “shooting.” Sloan heard them too. He raised’ Anne's chin, compelled her to look at him and listen to what he said. “Come on, Anne, we're going back.” And he nodded to Dan Rorimer to come along.- “You and I have a little cleaning up to do,” he smiled. “What the others don’t know won't hurt them. . . .

Radioactivity Blamed | For Volcano Eruptions London, Oct. 16.—(NEA)—Volcanic eruptions may be caused by radio- active substances in the earth which create an intense heat to melt up rocks and cause the explosions. That’s the belief of Prof. Jolly, eminent Eng- lish geophysicist. This substance is unevenly distributed throughout the earth, he says, and at the side of a valcano it is in greater quantities than elsewhere. HEREZ(\TO YOUR HEALTH By Dr FR. AUTHOR qvedtions FRUIT FAST THE BEST TONIC “What tonic do you recommend for purifying the blood?” This is the first sentence in hundreds of the let- ters which I receive daily. Millions of people have the firm conviction that every once in a while a bottle of this or that tonic should be dumped into the body to purify and cleanse the blood stream.- No matter what they feel ails them, they are certain that all they need to make them over is a bottle of tonic. In a vain endeavor to purify their blood they take bottle after bottle, seeking in this way to overcome the effects of wrong habits of eating and élim- inating. This is one of the biggest mistakes that can be made. I do not know of any tonic which will magically pur- ify the blood and which can be bought at any drug store. It is folly for anyone to think that by taking a large bottle of a vile-tasting cong!om- eration of drugs he can clean his blood. The blood will purify itself if given achance. The best way to keep your blood pure all the time is to use the right diet so that the blood cells can get the blood-building materials to | build rich, red blood. You should al- | so keep the bowels cleansed and drink | enough water so that the kidneys can flush out their wastes. You have a very important organ in your body whose duty is to purify your blood for you. This is the liver, |and while people have had their stomachs removed ‘and still kept alive, if the liver is removed the patient dies. No one can live without a liver to keep his blood stream filtered of its impurities. Your skin is working to.keep wastes from the blood, and also your kidneys and your lungs. Provided you have good habits of liv- ing, I am sure your blood is amply able to keep itself pure without the benefit of bottled tonics. We are all familiar with the symp- toms of an impure blood stream, | such as cold sores around the mouth, ; autotoxemia, @ feeling of sluggishness or “Spring Fever,” héadache, and the various skin pimples or rashes which |show that the skin has taken over the work of eliminating some of the body poisons. One of the surest signs of an impure blood stream is a pa- | tlent-whose cuts do not heal readily, but fester, keep on throwing out pus and take longer to heal themselves than they should. In fact, there are few of the dis- eases from which man suffers which are not directly based on a condition of morbid material in the blood. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the inpitlg Health and Dist MCOY ‘wi be anvssred. caf eddremed eovelope emt be enclosed. of paper only.

Enclose a stamped addressen envelope for reply. you may feel sure that your blood stream is not pure. You will find that the best way tc clean the blood stream is to remove the impurities from it; this can be done by following the diet and fasting regimen outlined in my article, thc Cleansing Diet Course. This is onc of the quickest and most direct wayy to purify your blood. The blood ts al- ways in a much cleaner state after « fast of from four to five days, using nothing but fruit juice or the fresh fruit. This is the best way I know of | to purify and clean the blood. I have | used it with entire success on thou- | sands of patients, You will find that if you follow directions exactly, you will be much benefited by this blood cleansing regimen. ; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Kidney Trouble Question: C. W. asks: “Will you Please print the correct diet for kid- ney patients, giving some examples’ of balanced meals for a day?” Answer: In kidney trouble it is always best to fast until the abnormal condition of the urine disappears, then follow up with a diet that will cohtinue to flush the kidneys, such as milk. If, after a certain period of time, the urine remains free of im- purities, you may adopt a non-starchy diet, such as: One or two coddled eggs, three or four slices of Melba toast, and stewed fruit, such as prunes, raisins, figs or apples (cooked without sugar) for breakfast. Use only one kind of fresh acid fruit for lunch, and for dinner use a smal amount of protein such as roast beef, chicken or mutton, cooked spinach, summer squash or green beans tend @ raw salad vegetable, such as celer, lettuce, etc.; if a dessert is desire use stewed fruit as at breakfast, or Jello. Good Combination Question: H. W. O. asks: “Are car- rots, string beans and beets a good combination with meat and stewed fruit? If so, is it all right for me tc have this combination regularly every day?” Answer: The combination you ask about is an excellent one, and may be used with benefit at least once a by just kidding. Don’t throw any punches at me.” He said, “What did Sloan do? What did Anne do?” “Just what I’m telling you. He talked to her for a while. Sat in her dressing room with her and told her she simply had to go through with it. And I’m telling you she did, too, I stuck around to hear part of the playback and then I beat it. She's absolutely going to steal the picture.” “Didn't you take her home?” “Me take her home? Do you think I was going to stick around after what happened? Nothing do- ing; I ducked out. What a goof she must think 1 am—swinging on Sloan that way.” “They eat that up, my boy.” “I'll never say another word against him,” Rorimer promised. “I know when I’m licked.” Pretty thoroughly licked, he thought—in more ways than one. ‘ eo 8 ay ATTNG for Sloan to appear the next morning, he felt a few misgivings. They had parted friends, but he had not ceased to reproach himself for his foolish- ness; Sloan, he feared, might not be so pleasant about it now that he had had a night In which to think matters over. But the director was cordial when he came, and he took Dan to one side and told him to forget what had happened. “No one has to know a word about it. No one was there but the three of us. It doesn’t have to go apy farther.” : i “One of the camera men gave me @ funny look last -night,” Dan told him with a smile. “He must have thought something.” “That's all explained. I told him you stumbled over a step in the dark.” “I’m just a sap.” “Sure-you are,” Sloan said cheer- fully, “but you'll have to take eredit for one of the biggest scenes in the picture.” He ran his fingers through his blond mop of hair. “She'll be a great actress yet, Rorimer. Watch her. I guess I twas pretty tough on her last night,” he admitted, “but sometimes you have to be in this business. . . . Has she been around today?” “I haven't seen her.” Anne did not appear at all that day. There was nothing more for her in the picture now. There re- mined only the war sequences, in which she did not appear and which were to be made on location. And Dan was relieved that he did not have to face her. There had been no talk between them—nothing; he had remained in the background while Sloan brought her around to doing what he expected of her. The following day, thodgh, he saw her. The publicity department had arranged a luncheon appoint- ment for, her with a newspaper writer. Anne came early, and Garry Sloan discovered her and Slor ERNEST LY N “Great, Anne, Absolutely great!” Slean’s manner said: “Tell me, now, that I was right.” And Anne told him. From the window of his office Dan Rorimer saw them walking across the court in the bright sun- light. Sloan had his arm around her and Anne’s face was smilingly upturned to his. She looked very happy, and Dan, with a queer little smile, turned back to his work. Later on in the day, as he was passing through the hall down- stairs, Anne’s voice called to him from one of the publicity offices and she came gut to him, He said- abruptly, “I want to apologize for what happened the other night.” “You needn't.” Anne smiled at him. She did not look tired now. Her eyes were bright and gay. “I lost my head, that’s all. I’m sorry. I guess you think I'm an awful roughneck.” “Why, Dan! You don’t believe that.” She shook her head. And she added softly, with a direct look into his eyes: “You couldn't be @ roughneck if you tried, Dan. You —you're too much of a gentleman.” Dan said, “Thank you, Anne,” and he left her then. and went up stairs to hia office. Anne stood there fn the hallway and watched- him go. She stood there and ‘watched his back disap- ‘pear around the stair corner, and for some: strange reason then she thought of the lines of a song that Dan had asked her to sing for him. The last time she had sung for him. - -*« And she knew that she had been: quite blind not to have real- ized that she loved him. very dearly. So she went to him. Dan Was bending over his type writer ‘when she came in. His el- bows were propped on the ledge and his chin was buried in his hands. Anne closed the door be hind her and he looked around at its sound, ~ 9 “Why, Anne!” He rose at once. She smiled at his astonishment. “Aren’t you going to ask me to sit down?” she asked. “Why, of course. Sit down, Anne” What she had to tell him she was already telling him with her eyes, but he looked very uncomprehend- ing. Dan should have known, she thought, but in many ways he was @ strange young man. Under the circumstances there was only one thing to do. So she looked at him steadily enough, though her heart was pounding and her cheeks were flaming, and she said, “Dan, do you remember the night you asked me to marry you?” Dan's mouth twisted strangely, Remember it! “I hope you still mean it, Dan,” she told him, “because I’m no longer uncertain.” The door was shut, but it would took her) to the projection room forthwith*to look at the last rushes blow. “All right.
