CHICAGO NEW YORK. BOSTON Head Noises Now that the welkin has been ringing and the eagle screaming for a considerable time in the congressional campaigns, the leaders of the Republican and Demo- cratic organizations have come to the front with their usual optimistic predictions. Mr. Shouse, the Democratic chieftain who bets on horse Traces and deducts the losses from his income tax, predicts that there will be enough of a turnover to enable the Democrats to control the house. He isn’t so sure about the senate and one reads between the lines of his state- ment that the Republicans are welcome to their control of that body—if control it may be called. Will R. Wood of Indiana, directing the Republican congressional campaign, isn't going to be “out predicted” by anybody, least of all a Democrat. He hops into the arena with a prophecy that the Republicans are as safe as “wheat in the mill’—before the North Dakota price sank below 60 cents. These predictions, of course, are the usual froth of what really has been a number of hard and biiterly fought campaigns in different sections. ‘We have drys and wets in each party, Democrats seck- ing office on the tariff question and contending that their Republican opponents erred, not in supporting the tariff, but in not getting high enough rates on articles made or grown in the district most affected. All have rallied to the banner of the ex-serviceman and most of them have given the impression that all the U. 8. war veteran has to do is to ask and he shall receive. Members of 9 party pull one way in one section of the country and another way in another section. They are up and down, in and out on every public question until the political fabric of the nation is @ cross between a crazy quilt and a jig-saw puzzle. Except for mcaning- Jess labels, one hardly knows what is meant by the desig- nation of any party. ‘The Republicans have ruled both houses of congress now for a good many years—at least in name. But recent political history leadS one to ask of both Mr. ‘Wood and Mr. Shouse “Whadda ya mean, we?” As between Mr. Wood’s prophecy and that of Mr. ‘Shouse, one will doubtless be more correct than the other. But there is every reason to believe that each gentleman is talking a little bit to hear his head roar and to inspire confidence on the part of lesser party adherents. Each one knows that “we” retain or win “control,” whichever it may be, there is going to be sufficient party irregularity to make “us” wonder what: “we” meant when “we” essayed the role of political prophet. October and the Auto October is a peculiar month for the motorist, It is, of all the months in the year, the best for driving out through the open counry; yet there is something in the air that makes one feel out of place behind a stecring wheel. In October the automobile is an anachronism. October, in fact, is by way of being an old-fashioned month. It calls back the flavor of forgotten days and outworn customs. Its forests turn to flame on the hills, and a thin blue haze drifts over farmlands and river bot- tom valleys; and the old days send out ghosts, to come ‘back and cock amused and satiric eyes at the ways of the moderns. A dreamy peace takes possession of things and the speedy, active automobile does not fit the scene bt all. In Octobr staid city dwellers, who would be lost if you took them half a mile away from the pavement, recall their childhood days in the country. Shocks of corn, regimented on rolling fields like the wigwams of Indian summer, bring back to mind the times, when, as a young- ater, one played hide and seek among them, burrowed {inside of the rustling stacks or furtively made fearful cigarets of cornsilk, One can remember driving in a buggy through the autumn woods, with the wheels sink- ing quietly into the sandy ruts and the horse amiably Plodding ‘along at a three-mile-an-hour gait, ‘There isn’t any place in @ month like that for the butomobile. For the hallmark of October is its sense of Selaure, of indolent and unhurried peace; and the auto- mobile is the chosen emblem of an age which has left leisure and indolence far behind it. Perhaps that is why the American of 1930, taking a €rive through the October countryside, feels the time- fhonored melancholy of autumn so strongly. The brief calm of Indian summer bespeaks @ day when people had tmore time to live than they have now; a day when there {were fewer mechanical distractions and less need for them, @ day when simplicity had not yet given way to complexity and human life developed closer to the earth and its old mysteries, It is not pleasant to be reminded of this; for such a reminder inevitably awakens, in the mind of a city man of 1930, the dreadful suspicion that he had been bilked somewhere, It puts into his head the notion that all of this progress which he admires so greatly has possibly Cost more than it has been wérth. He begins to under- stand how Esau felt after he sold his heritage for a mess Of pottage. The remedy, of course, is clear. Avoid the country highways in October, if you would keep your peace of mind. October, seemingly drowsy and idle, is really deceptive and mocking, . A Sunday for Ducks Down in Wisconsin ducks and other wild fow) are enjoying a special Sunday on Wednesday. ‘The state law prohibits hunting on Wednesday, the to give the game a day of freedom from hunters and permit them to feed unmolested. of the state game and fish department, at suggestion the system was inaugurated, was that hunters and ducks would be benefited—partic- hunters. _ ition by experts for the commission convinced that continuous shooting had the effeet of ducks south earlier than otherwise woula case.

Wisconsin system might not be advisable here. [t is in- teresting to observe, however, the step which an enlight- ened conservation policy has dictated in Wisconsin. The spirit which srompted it should be emulated in North Dakota in whatever ways are open to us. Time Clocks for Coeds The dean of women at the University of Minnesota Proposes that a sort of time clock be installed at sorority houses and rooming houses for all coeds who go out on parties. Each girl would be obliged, before going out, to mark down on a card th2 hour, the place she was going and the name of her escort. On her return the hour would be marked down as well. The problems 6f a dean of women in a big state uni- versity are knotty ones, heaven knows; yet it is a little hard to work up any great amount of admiration for this particular scheme. Offhand, one would say that if a girl of college age must be card-indexed as closely as all that, she belongs at home with her mcther instead of at college. Better Taste in Houses ! Although small-house architecture in the United States has been marred in recent years by a deplorable lack of taste, the tide is at last beginning to swing the other way, according to the current issue of The American Architect. ‘The magazine quotes Charles H. Cheeney of the Amer- ican Institute of Architects as authority for the state- ment that three-fourths of all the buildings erected in the country last year were so ugly and so badly planned that they were liabilities from their inception; but it adds: “The swing to better designed houses has already started. Buyers have helped tremendously by demand- ing better design. Builders who have sensed this tend- ency and build better designed houses find they can sell their products much easier.” It is this last point that is encouraging, A rash of ugly houses anywhere simply indicates that public taste is not cultivated. If it is actually becoming better busi- ness to use extra pains and expense to avoid ugliness, our aesthetic sense must be improving.

Why a Primary? (Mercer County Farmer) At the primary election held in June the Republican voters of the 48th legislative district nominated a ticket for the state legislature. The names of these men will appear on the ballot for general election to be held Nov- ember 4th, as the Republican candidates for the state senate and house of representatives, respectively, Among those nominated by the Republican voters of this district, both factions of the Republican party, are represented, both the Nonpartisans and Independents, Now it should onty be fair to both of these factiocs to accept the result of the primary and cast their votes for the men nominated at the primary, Independents ard Nonpartisans alike. Otherwise what is the use of having a primary election? So that in all fairness to both the Nonpartisans and Independents who wear the Republican labels, should join in supporting E. W. Jones for state senator, and Chas. Herman, Matt Crowley and G. Isaac as represent- poche the 48th district in the house at the coming dl . Minority Rule Possible (Beach Advance) The number of small population gtates in our union has given a queer twist to the fedetal constitution and Placed in the hands of the United States senate gov- ernmental powers which probably were never intended to be lodged there. = This census just completed reveals the remarkable fact that it is possible for a minority of 51,000,000 persons this country to control the destinies of the,majority of 72,000,000. The constitution provides that the assent of 36 states is necessary to any change in our organic law. The 36 low population states contain 51,000,000 inhabitants. The remaining 12 states boast the balance of our population, 72,000,000. - Hence it is that the doctrine of states’ rights, once the refuge of the weaker states against the prosecution of the stronger, is now being invoked by the larger states to guard their interests against the inroads of the smaller ones, The founders of our nation never intended that a minority should control the majority of our people, but. they inadvertently wrote into the law a provision mak- ing this possible, as the 1930 census figures show. Driving Out the Wolves (Washington Star) ‘The reason resentment against “short selling” and “bear raids” on the market has never been taken very seriously in the past is that the whole thing is forgotten and forgiven as soon as the skies clear and stocks begin to rise again. When times are good everybody laughs at @ pessimist, but when times are bad he is regarded as a| fleet prophet of evil. It is natural, however, that the full measure of con- demnation should descend now on the practice of short selling, with little attempt to differentiate between the fundamental necessity of the practice in preserving a “free and open” market and the reprehensible tactics of organ- ized speculators who deliberately run down the price of securities on the strength of alarming rumors and whis- ered tales of impending disaster. And if the officials and defenders of the New York stock exchange would spend less time upholding the economics and sanctity of short selling as a principle and devote some extra- ordinary energy to“exposing and punishing those who abuse it, the stock market and the country at large would benefit. z ‘That there is abuse now is pretty generally admitted. The fluctuations in stocks themselves might be considered as prima facie evidence. Nobody seems to condone such abuse. Everybody condemns it and resents it. As for the public, which became a heavy investor in securities in the relatively recent past and for the first time learned to study the stock market, the psychological effects of bear raiding are neither to be denied nor discounted. Instead of buying—and depression will be over when the public begins to buy—the public reads of another crash in stocks and ties up all its loose coin in a sock. The public has come to regard the stock market as a true index to prosperity, and whether the index is right or wrong has nothing to do with it. “I personally do not believe that it is proper for per- sons to sell stocks in @ volume and in a manner that is calculated to depress prices artificially,” said President Whitney of the New York stock exchange a few days ago. But “the prohibition of all short selling, which might result in the destruction of the market, is too high a price to pay for the elimination of the few who abuse this legitimate privilege.” That is undoubtedly sound logic. But what the of- ficials of the New York stock exchange may or may not realize is that once public sentiment becomes really aroused and sufficiently outraged over the abuses of short selling, it is not going to stop short of prohibition or any- thing else to clean up the abuse. The depression will loom large in the debates in congress this winter. It can be taken for granted that if depression can be blamed on anything so tangibld as practices condoned by the New York stock exchange, and there are plenty who are willing s0 to fix the blame, legislative remedies will be Proposed thick and fast; an investigation of the New York stock exchange has been proposed, and the time is ripe for these to meet with favor. It is not known what subjects were discussed by Presi- dent Hoover, Mr. Whitney and Allen Lindley, chairman of the exchange business conduct committee, at their conference Saturday night. The president might have told them both that it is more desirable, from their point of view, to fing ways and means of ending abuses of short selling than to wait around and have somebody else do it for them. Defense of the principle of short selling is neither here nor there. A confession by the stock exchange officials that they are unable to corral the wolves and get rid of them is merely an invitation for somebod do it fertthem. ‘The proe will no doubt bs duly drastic.

The victory not only gave England a memorable naval victory but prestige on the seas, which it has since maintained. ‘The day before the battle the allied fleet of 33 ships ventured to put to sea, but they were met by Nelson with 27 ships. The British admiral had previously watched their maneu- vers and sensed their movements im- mediately. Before the fight started. Nelson gave his famous signal, “England expects that every man will do his duty.” After a desperate fight. 18 of the enemy ships were captured and the rest dispersed. Nelson was mor- tally wounded and his last words were, “Thank God, I have done my duty.” : The importance of Nelson's victory may be had from this appreciation: “At Trafalgar they (the allied fleets) had plenty of room to~maneuver yet they could not escape, such was the paralyzing effect of Nelson's tac- tics... . Nelson had solved a problem that had puszled British admiralé-for @ century—namely, how to prevent the French making off while most of their fleet was still more or less in- tact. For this reason Trafalgar is tles, and Nelson as the greatest of admirals.” A riot ensued in the German reich- stag when facists appeared in khaki shirts and communists in red ones. The colors clashed. xk * A New Jersey dentist advertises to exchange dental work for groceries. He intends, a ean the bill.

Therefore West must not play the eight of clubs, but should play the ten which will allow his partner to get in and make his fifth club. The declarer plays the king and queen of hearts, and then the ten, winning in the dummy with the ace.

After erection and a few days spent in the school building, however, the feelings were changed for the better. - The school building is of no exten- sive height, although the rooms are large. Our school rooms are in a basement. Your first thoughts, most likely, were as ours: “But it must be dark down there.” On the other hand, it isn’t; as the erection is adorned with DEVELOPING SHAPELY LEGS In the colonial days pads were oft- en placed inside the stockings to round out the lower legs, which showed that the desire for a curve at the calf was strong as it is today. Everyone should have normally de- veloped limbs. Often, figures that are perfectly formed in other ways are handicapped -by lower legs that are too thick or too thin or other- wise improperly developed. In most cases where the limbs are not curved properly, whether they may be too ick or too thin spots, it is an indi- cation that the circulation in the limbs is defective. In reducing the legs, the most sat- isfactory. improvement follows the lo- cal exercises which bring into play the muscles of the legs and hips. Any hip exercises which use the limbs strenuously will reduce the fat and unnatural deposits which may be present, and, at the same time, will build up the muscles to fill the leg out in a shapely manner. If your legs are too heavy for the rest of the body, the first thing you should do is to plan to devote a por- tion of the day to taking a good long brisk walk. Once you have chosen a time, stick to it and let that hour find you ready for a walk every day. Be- gin today and walk one mile, striding along vigorously and pushing the toes against the ground. As you feel the muscles in your legs moving, you may say to yourself: “This walk is good for me; it is improving my health, ft is shaping my legs.” Walk a little farther each day as your increasing strength permits until you are cover- ing at least five miles daily. This is the very best exercise for bringing the hips, thighs and buttocks to normal. The best exercise to develop the calves of the legs is to stand on one foot, balancing the body by placing one hand against the wall and rising alternately on the heel and toe. Do this as often as you can without mak- ing the muscles of your calves sore. Begin with twerty times and increase the number each day until you can rise on the toes and heels ‘at least fifty times for each leg. Jumping rope, bicycle riding, skip- ping, hopping on one foot, and ball- room dancing are all good exercises to use, and Iam sure if you will per- sist in them_you will find that they will bring you legs of which you may be proud. If you are trying to reduce the legs you should cut down on the starches, such as bread, pastries, and also the fats, such as butter and oils, and you should include more of the non- starchy vegetables in your diet.

If you will follow these directions persistently, you will undoubtedly be able to have legs which are slender and at the same time well developed with the proper curve at the calf. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Neuralgia Question: Mrs. G. K. writes: “I have been troubled with neuralgia for @ number of years. For the last few months there has been a stiffness in the leaders in the back of my neck, especially at night. What causes this condition, and is there any remedy?” Answer: The stiffness in the back of your neck may be caused by some _ form of rheumatism, by lesions in the cervical spine, or by some faulty posture, assumed while you are doing your work in the daytime. Abscessed teeth might also cause the © facial neuralgia. The remedy would depend upon the cause, which must be ascer- tained through a diagnosis. Food Colorings Question: Alice J. asks: “Do foo colorings, sold in paste and_ liquid form for household use, contain any- thing that would be harmful to one's health?” Answer: The various color extracts now on the market are made mostly from harmless vegetable and other color extracts, ‘supplemented by a number of coal tar, or aniline dyes, approved by the government after painstaking investigation and ‘analy- sis. As long as their use is solely to enchance the enjoyment of foods and not to conceal their inferiority, I do not consider these colorings particu- larly harmful, especially since they are used in such limited quantities. Oils and Liniments Question: Mrs. K. asks: “Are there any oils or liniments that will pene- trate an unbroken skin? If so, will ou please name one or two? I have friend who claims there is an oil that will cure a growth in the nec! Answer: Oil and liquids will pene- trate the skin to some extent, as tests have shown that certain medicines rubbed on the skin can be afterwards found in the urine. I do not know of any oil which will have an effect on curing a growth in the neck. many windows.
