CHICAGO 4 NEW YORK BOSTON A Driver’s License Law Vigorous campaigns for adoption of the Automobile | Drivers’ License Law will be waged in 28 states during the next few months. In several states where existing Jaws lack “teeth,” an effort will be made to remodel them to conform with the standard ordinance recom-/ mended by the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety. Twelve states now have drivers’ license laws and all of them have experienced a downward accident trend. According to a survey made by the National Safety Council, there have been 29 per cent fewer fatalities since the adoption of the laws than there would have been had these 12 states had the same percentage in- crease as the non-license states. This amounts to a saving of thouand of lives annually. Many safety authorities believe such a law is the most important single step toward reducing accidents. No careful driver need fear it. Its purpose is to weed out the unfit, the negligent, the reckless and the “ac- cident repeaters,” and to prevent beginnrs from driving until they a~> compctent to handle a car. An overwhelming majority of motorists are respon- sible and competent. But the small minority which is careless and incompetent, has given us the greatest ac- cident toll in the world. They are a menace to the lives and prope: ‘y of all other drivers. There are arguments against a law requiring a driver's license, of course. For one thing it would be an addition to our already cumbersome ~*2tute books. In the second place, it would be an added cost to the motorist. Methods of examining drivers would have to be established and a fee would be charged. But these objections are not insurmountable. It is true that we have too many laws now but many of them are antiquated and were not drawn to fit modern situa- tions. A driver's license act would be intended to take care of one of our current present-day needs. The cost per person would be small, although the total paid by all North Dakota motorists would reach @ fairly large sum. But against the money cost there should be resamae | the probable saving in human lives and the probable evasion of instances where innocent persops would be made to pay the price of a reckless individuars action. At the very least, the matter is worth looking into.) North Dakota may not be ready for a driver's license law now but if the tendency of the last few years continues the day is not far off when such an enactment will have to be passed to provide a remedy for a steadily- growing evil. Too Much to Expect i Members of the Mississippi Valley association will meet at St. Louis November 24 to 25 to discuss ways and; means of obtaining more improvements on the Mississip- pi and Missouri rivers. By name the organization refers only to the “Father | of Waters” but the Missouri system is included because it is naturally a part of this great inland waterway and because of the fact that the Mississippi folks need political and moral support from their western brothers if their movement for adequate river improvements is to meet success. Secretary Hurley will represent the war department and, since he and the administration have shown a friend- liness to the development of river transportation, it is to be expected that the government will help rather than hinder the developments which the association will’ advocate. Improvements already have been begun on the Mis- souri river and are gradually being extended upstream. It is not too much to hope that, in the not too distant future, Bismarck again will be a great river port and the transportation center of North Dakota as it was in the early '70’s. The river front here may some day present a bustling appearance just as it did when buffalo robes lay piled high about the old river freight house, long since gone to ruin upstream from the Liberty Memorial bridge. But the glamour which once accompanied the cry of “boat's in” will have vanished. The days of the tall- stacked river steamer, the Indian, the bullwhacker and the scout have vanished into the dim past. ‘We may recapture Bismarck’s old importance as a river shipping point but it will be a new deal all around and the flavor of the old days will be missing. To revive the thrills of pioneer days in a modern com- munity is more than anyone has a right to expect. . sys ! Moving to the Cities Every year a larger percentage of the American popu- lace lives in cities. With ever-increasing rapidity, ours! is becoming an urban civilization. But Lot's wife seems| to have a good many counterparts. among us, neverthe- less. In the great march to the cities there are many who turn their heads for a regretful look backwards. ‘The latest to take this wistful backward glance 1s narles Hanson Towne, the well-known editor and writer. In the current issue of Harper's Bazaar. Mr. Towne! asks dolefully: “Why do we fret and hive in our cities when we might be partakers of serenity? It is one of the human myster- fes; and man 1s forever excusing himself by crying out that he cannot get away. Yet, if he knew how he would be renewed, not only physically but spiritually, he would seek these accessible paths, away from the hum and dis- cord of his average days.” ‘This sort of question, as cities grow larger and larger, @nd noise and congestion and confusion become more ‘and more unendurable, is probably going to be heard oftener and oftener. The average human being is not. quite as dumb as some people have suspected; and the average human being is rapidly discovering that Ife 4 @ big city is not all that it might be. “There are, of course, exceedingly powerful economic in- Muences to create large cities. Factories have a way of | savings banks, j forced to meet the issue by coming out against repeal. clustering together—although, to be sure, there are signs now of a trend in the opposite direction. There are jobs| in the cities, and the chances for wealth and fame. But| you might amuse yourself some day by wondering if it is not simply man’s gregarious nature and his fear of loneliness that are chiefly responsible. The pioneers who settled the wilderness were not} moved by that compulsion, as they were under other, more powerful compulsions. But their grandchildren felt it in all its force. There were many, many people who found life on farms and in remote country hamlets very lonely. So our cities are swollen; and, being swollen, are unfit Places for many of thcir inhabitants to live. And a lot of us, wondering how on earth this serenity that Mr. Towne speaks of can ever be come by in a big city, are casting the same wistful glances over our shoulders that Mr. Towne is casting. Sooner or later, probably, there will be a change. The automobile has helped many people to get at least to the outskirts of metropolitan congestion. Perhaps, as time goes on, it will do more. We can hope so, at any rate. After a city gets about so big it becomes 90 per cent an abomination. | The ‘Fire Tax’ | Our $500,000,000 annual fire loss is, in effect, a tax} that must be paid by every citizen, whether or not his; own property is destroyed. Every time we buy a loaf of bread, a pair of shoes or any other commodity or service, some part of the purchase price is attributable to waste due to fire. Store owners pay, as part of their overhead, insurance premiums which must be passed on to the customer. The insurance pre- mium rate in any locality is a direct reflection of the) fire hazard. Every time a home or a factory is burned, the com- munity loses a taxpayer. The tax which would be nor- mally paid on this property must be distributed among other property owners. Every fire, large or small, means a loss of business and a cessation in employment—fac- tors which directly affect every citizen. Cases are on record where great conflagrations have definitely brought to an end industrial and social progress in a tow. Preventing fire waste is a direct responsibility of the individual citizen. His carelessness causes it—his care can prevent it. By the exercise of common sense in re- gard to our property we can lower the “fire tax.” Editorial Comment Editorials printed below thought by other editors, They are published with- out regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. show the trend, of Pushing the Clouds Away (Duluth Herald) The nation is engaged in a serious, determined and well-planned effort, under the leadership of President Hoover, to conquer unemployment and business depres- sion by the same stroke. Nation, states, municipalities, industries and individ- uals the country over are planning work for the jobless, and the effort is succeeding—slowly at first because or- ganiza‘ion is the slowest though most important part of the operation, but presently at a much livelier rate. Soon a large proportion of those now out of work will be at work anu drawing pay. ‘That is important first because it helps these workers and their families and saves them from charity. It is important next, though this is too vital to be sec- ond, because it will stimulate buying and perhaps even give business the fillip it nceds to get it back into its full stride. For that, two things are needed: first, employment. for the jobless so they will have something to buy "ith; second, courage for these who have jobs so that they will spend as they should and not freeze their money up in The situation is most promising, therefore, for be- sides the attack on unemployment, the slow consumption of the past year has diminished stocks so that buying and manufacturi _ presently will be absolutely necessary. Soon the acute problem of unemployment will be solved, and then it will be necessary not to forget that there also is a chronic problem, caused by improved industrial processes, that can only be met by some such method as the five-day working week. Dilemma «Washington Star) Senator Simeon D. Fess, chairman of the Republican national committee, looks rather darkly upon the future of the G. O. P. when considered in connection with the Prohibition issue. Himself an ardent dry, Mr. Fess in- sists that the Republican party must come out squarely in its platform in the presidential election year, 1932, in support of national prohibition. To do otherwise, Mr. Fess insists, would be suicidal. In view of the recent cam- paign, however, and the declaration of the Republicans in some of the most populous states of the Union, an out and out stand in favor of the continuance of the dry laws as they now exist might be as perilous for the Republican party. Indeed, the wet Representative Fred A. Britten of Il- linois, and the no less wet former Sen. J. W. Wadsworth of New York, have immediately replied to Mr. Fess’ proposal that the G. O. P. become the dry party of the nation, calling attention to the very large number of Republican wets. Mr. Britten makes a demand for the Prompt retirement of Senator Fess from the chairman- ship of the Republican party. It appears that Mr. Fess has “started something.” In the past the Republicans have been able to minimize the prohibition ‘ssue in their party. They have been able to convince the voters, even those with wet sentiments, that other issues were paramount—partic- ularly prosperity under continuance of Republican rule. In their party platforms they have declared for strict law enforcement, which has satisfied the drys. But during the present year prosperity ceased to be a ral- lying cry for the Republicans. The wet and dry issue, agitated more and more by opponents of prohibition, forced its way to the fore. In Illinois, the Republicans in state convention and many of their candidates for congressional office also declared they would vote in ac- cordance with the views expressed by’ the voters in a wet and dry referendum. The referendum in that state; has gone strongly against national prohibition. New York Republicans in state convention also came out for repeal. True, the Republican candidates for governor and senator in these states were overwhelmingly defeated. But if they had come out dry instead of leaning to the wet cause, would they have fared any better? In Massachusetts and Ohio, two other states which usually are counted Republican, the dry Republican can- didates for senator were defeated by large votes by wet Democrats. The dry Democratic candidate for gov- ernor in Ohio won in a contest with an even more dry Republican. But the dry Republican candidate for governor in Massachusetts suffered defeat at the hands of a wet Democrat. Senator Fess expresses the opinion that the Democratic party in 1932 will espouse the cause of repeal of the eighteenth amendment and that the Republicans will be All of which brings to mind the fact that the Demo- cratic party is not entirely out of the woods on this Prohibition issue. There still remains the Democratic solid South, devoted to the cause of rrohibition in the past, to be reckoned with on the other side of the political fence. However, Cemc2ratic leaders for the most part appear, like Mr. Fess, to be convinced that their party will nominate fcr president a “wet,” as it did in 1928, and that the party will have to attack the present ory laws and their lack of enforcement in its party plat- form. The situation in this country growing out oi the failure to suppress the bootleg traffic in liquor has convinced many persons strongly opposed to the old saloon and the domination of politics, in many places, by the liquor traffic, that there must be some change. It remains to be seen whether within the next two years some plan for the better control of the liquor traffic can be worked out. If such a plan is devised and is acceptable to a great majority of the voters, the “quor issue will fade as campaign material. If no such plan can be develozed, the issue of national prohibition, as it is, will be forced into the national campaign in 1932 even Rees ey ‘han it has existed in the campaign just closed. THIS ISA FINE. ! PREDICAMENT: ‘THE BEST OPEN SEASON! IN YEARS—BUT I'M STILL WAITING FOR, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1930 ° DB) SYNOPSIS: During a gay Greenwich Village artist, is fount iy in his studio, Denny Dorn, mysteriously murdered. Detective Murphy is sure that one of the guests has committed the crime. Phantom screams and groans and mysterious footsteps ring through the house. Two of the quests are struck down and seriously injured by an unknown fiend, who disappears into thin air. Loretta Whipple: is thought to have stolen the death rope from Palmer’s apartment. Then Brandford leads the guests to Dr. Gray’s medicine kit, in which they find a broken hy; , into which the broken needle fits. This needle was found on the studio floor. and the police believe Denny was poisoned by it. Dr. Gray refuses to comment. Why Is Jane Mysterious? By E. V.

CANNING BY EXPERTS Many correspondents write to ask me if home canned goods are not more wholesome than those purchas- ed at the stores, and my reply is that generally the opposite is true, Usual- ly, there is quite a large percentage of spoilage in home canned products, and there have been quite a few cases of food poisoning from improperly canned home made products. Furth- ermore, home canning is nearly al- ways a great deal more expensive than the canned foods which you can buy already prepared for use at your grocery store. The canning industry has improved greatly within the last few years since they have installed careful methods of inspection and research depart- ments to discover the most healthful ways of canning. At one tirae canned foods consisted almost entirely of sur- Plus food products which would oth- erwise spoil, but this is no longer the case. The foods which are now used for canning are selected by experts. Often, the vegetables used for canning are raised under contract and the seed is selected by the experts fo pro- duce just the kind of vegetables which will have the best flavor and appear- ance when ready for harvesting. The growing crop is then carefully in- spected and it is harvested just at the right time, Sometimes even a day or two's difference would produce an in- ferior crep. One interesting fact is that canned fruits and vegetables are usually canned fresher than if you bought the sathe foods at your market and cook- ed them at home. The reason for this is that most canneries are so located that it is possible to can vegetables, fruits and fish within an hour or two after they are gathered. In contrast with this you have the home cooked market bought vegetables which are often four or five days old. You may have noticed that canned products taste fresher now than they used to. One reason for this is that the foods are not heated any longer than necessary to produce a perfect sterilization. The temperature is im- portant and it is carefully regulated, for each special kind of food requires its own temperature and time of cooking. Furthermore, foods are now cooked right in the cans after they are Sealed so that no oxygen enters. This preserves the flavor and all of the food elements. Even the elusive, easily destroyed vitamin C is pre- served by this process. This is the vitamin which is so easily destroyed that it can not resist more than a few minutes’ boiling in an open pot on your kitchen stove. you may have noticed that the inside of the can is coated with enamel. This is done in order to preserve the color of the, fruit and to. protect against the fruit coming in contact with the can.

Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. these cans and do not use all of the food at one time, you may with per- fect safety allow the remainder of the food to remain in the can until the next meal. Experiments have pro- duced a type of can which can not produce poisoning by any possible chemical combination with the food it contains. Food will remain good in- Gefinitely in an unopened can pro- vided it remains air-proof. My reason for-writing this article is to let you know that it is healthful to use canned goods. Many people believe that canned goods are un- wholesome, but this isa mistaken idea. Canned goods are often more healthful than goods prepared at home. Balance your diet by using Plenty of canned goods. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Would Grow Shorter Question: Reader asks: “Is there any method to reduce one’s height? And what causes a person’s Adam's apple to stick out so far? How can this be avoided?” Answer: The only way one can appear shorter is to bend over or to develop a spinal curvature. I am sure you would not want to do either. I do not know of any disadvantage in being tall. In fact, there are many reasons for believing this is a decided advantage. The Adam’s apple seems to protrude more with those who do not have a good muscular develop- | ment of the neck. This can be avoid- ed through taking strenuous neck exercises, such as wrestlers take in Preparing themselves for a contest. After Fasting Question: B. F. asks: “Will you Please explain why, after a fruit fast, the bowels do not move naturally for several days?” Answer: It usually takes two or three days for the bowels to move well after a fast, owing to the fact that the bowels have been practically empty during the fast and must again fill up before there will be a strong peristaltic action. Heart Leakage Question: Mrs. M. asks: “Should one with leakage of the heart drive an automobile?” Answer: A leakage of the heart valves is not necessarily dangerous and those suffering from this disor- {der are not the ones who usually drop dead from what is called “heart failure.” Of course, driving an auto- mobile for long distances is very tir- ing, and this strain should not be undergone by anyone who has a se- cent case of heart trouble of any ind. Se | Today Is the Anniversary of THE SUEZ CANAL On Nov. 17, 1869, the Suez Canal, the first great inter-oceanic canal, was Officially opened after a French company, under the leadership of the celebrated Ferdinand de Lesseps, had worked on it for 10 years. About 100 miles long, the canal connects the Mediterranean and Red Sea. Until the introduction of steam- ships, traffic of the canal developed slowly. But thereafter the toll re- ceipts rose annuallly, When the Egyptian government ran into financial difficulties over the canal, England, under the leadership of Disraeli, purchased enough shares in it to become the heaviest owner. England, incidentally, was first’ to proposed the Suez Canal. A very short time sufficed to show that the canal was of the utmost value as the passageway between England and her Oriental possessions. Under the centrol of British and French capitalists the commercial de- velopment of the canal followed un- checked until the World war. if BARBS } King Alfonso of Spain, says a dis- patch, recently served as soldier for a day in his own army.
