CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Navy’s Golden Age New inventions and changed public attitudes often work hardships on a lot of people; but no one class seems to have suffered any more through the last decade or so than the navy’s admirals. The admirals—in this country, at least—aren’t happy. On the one hand they find their very profession itself under fire, with the government whittling the navy down just when it was really getting somewhere: on the other hand, the scientists have raised ned with naval tradi- tions, the battleship has lost its proud position, and. cruisers are being reconstructed with broad decks on which airplanes can land; and, all in all, being an ad- miral is neither a simple nor a comfortable job any longer. The golden age of admirals, in fact, has passed. And if you doubt that such an age ever existed, just look back @ century or two and you will find an era when an admiral’s life was everything that any admiral could ask for. Modern navies have developed largely along the lines marked by the British, so it is to the British navy that one must turn for illustration, And the British navy, in the old days, was a thing to delight the heart of an admiral. In the first place, the technical side of the navy in the old days was nothing to worry about. People weren't bringing out new inventions every so often to make exist- ing ships obsolete and destroy the fundamentals of naval tactics and strategy. The backbone of a navy, for gen- erations, was the line-of-battle ship; a ponderous square tigger, with long rows of guns on two, three and some- times four decks. .For a cruiser force, one had frigates—, swifter ships, with only one main gun deck, designed for scout and patrol duty. These ships had only minor changes for many decades; not until the arrival of steam power was there any essential change in their design. Then, too, when a squadron went to a distant station it was pretty well out of touch with the home office, and the admiral was pretty much his own boss. He was, given high powers, and he had to rely a great deal on his own judgment and initiative. He had the power of life and death over the seamen in his fleet; he could have a man flogged to death for a minor infraction of discipline, If an admiral distinguihsed himself in action —and, by the way, there was always plenty of fight- ing—parliament would give him a sizable sum of money, often enough to make him independent for life; and, all in all, the admiral rightly felt that he was one of the world’s elect. But today? Alas, there has been a change! Navies are restricted by treaties and assailed by peace societies. If a gunboat flings a shell at a Nicaraguan hut or a Chinese fort the admiral is apt to get into serious trouble unless he can show all kinds of justification. Ships change from year to year and tactics change with them. ‘The golden age of admirals, it would seem, is over. Wheat for the Chinese? ‘The current Magazine of Wall Street, pointing out that the federal farm board may well have a tremendous carryover of wheat at the end of the year, and fearing that such a carryover would have an extremely depress- ing influence, makes this suggestion: “Why not give it away? Four hundred million under- fed Chinamen would devour it without loosening their) ‘ belts. At the sight of pile of wheat being distributed by the government the communists would fade away faster than they ever will before machine guns. The wheat might be given to our people, but home relief can better be handled by cash, and without danger of! the last minute; then he stumbles to his feet, shaves and dresses in a fumbling sort of way, and comes to the dining room tying his tie and mumbling piteously. Fighting to get out of the grip of Morpheus, he gulps down his coffee and bolts his food like an automaton, and his breakfast is in him before he really knows that “e is eating. ‘The farmer knows better. He generally does an hour or so of hard work before he goes to breakfast, so he is not only wide awake but has worked up a gooc ap- .20| petite. And then? Well, he leisurely tackles a bowl of oatmeal, some eggs and sausage and fried potatoes, a few griddle cakes, a doughnut or two and a couple of cups of coffee; and by the time he is through he can face the agricultural depression with a clear conscience. Of course, such a breakfast would land the average city man in the hospital in short order. Nevertheless, the farmer has the right idea. Breakfast, to him, Is something to be looked forward to—whereas for some of us it is just something to be got through with. What would make a good breakfast for the harried city man? Well, half an hour's more time is the most important item. Let him get fully awake before he comes to the table, and let him stop eyeing the clock while he eats. The menu, then, is not so important. If he gives himself more time he will find his appetite improving; and presently his wife, instead of giving him toast and coffee and orange juice, will find him calling for such soul-stirring foods as ham and eggs, or little pig sau- sages, or corned beef hash. For it is of such things that real breakfasts are made. Spain Seems Satisfied For several years the outside world has been hearing widespread rumors that Spain has been seething with dissatisfaction with its government. A few days ago these rumors culminated in a revolt, and a great many observers confidently expected the government to fall— and, possibly, the monarchy as well. But it begins to look as if these rumors had exag- gerated the extent of the popular discontent. The revolt was crushed so quickly that it almost looked farcical. Passing judgment at this distance, of course, is not easy; but it looks as if the Spanish people were much more satisfied with their lot than we have been led to be- lieve—or else the government is unusually able and energetic in stamping out the first sparks of rebellion before they can touch off a conflagration. Let’s Hope It’s Final It is gratifying to read that the Belgian courts have finally ruled against the American architect, Whitney Warren, in his suit to compel the University of Louvain to restore to the facade of its library the inscription: “Destroyed by Teutonic fury; restored by American generosity.” Mr. Warren has fought a desperate battle to have that inscription put on the building, although most civilized people would prefer to have it deleted. To try to keep alive old hatreds is an extremely harmful kind of folly and one is moved to hope sincerely that this check to Mr. Warren's plans will prove final. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- une's policies. The Old West and Chicago (Fargo Forum) The Old West, they say, had a method for dealing with killers, thieves and racket men. Quick justice, ad- ministered by vigilante committees unhampered by ap- peals and reversals, brought order in a country that had men as bad as Chicago's. They didn’t have to establish facts, in the face of million dollar defense lawyers, that everybody knew to YA sil Se Za by tee Anniversary of RUSH’S BIRTH On Dec. 23, 1745, Benjamin Rush, an American physician and patriot, was born at Philadelphia, Pa. He graduated from Princeton and received his medical education in Europe. He taught chemistry in the Philadelphia college, which is now the medical department of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Elected a member of the Continental congress, Rush was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. After he returned from service as surgeon in the revolution, he founded the Philadelphia dispensary and helped found Dickinson college. Rush was prominent in public at well as in professional life. He toox part, in 1780, in the formation of the new state constitution and was a member of the Pennsylvania conven- tion for the ratification of.the fea- eral constitution. Of his considerable writings, his essays on the diseases and vices ot the Indians are thought most valu- able because they contributed new and important information to our cee of the American aborig- es. f BARBS | 1 Now that women are reported smoking cigars in Pariz. expect the + be true.

For the past two weeks congress has been in session with one thing uppermost in mind—at least that which the country was uppermost—unemployment relief. Presi- dent Hoover sent to congress a comprehensive message for certain sums to carry out a relief program for $150,000,000 to extend government con- Passed that Power of the making matters worse by upsetting the flour and baking) demanded that $60, trades. “Giving wheat to starving Chinamen who aren’t buy- ing and can’t buy will upset nothing—and may set up an era of peace and reconstruction in China. And China is one of the things that is the matter with this dis- turbed world.” Prisons and Shrines Some Washington official recently proposed that a federal penitentiary be built on the site of Fort McHenry, famous as the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner; and the proposal has drawn a hot retort from Paul C. ‘Wolman, commander-in-chief of the Veterans of For- ‘eign ‘Wars. “The mere suggestion that Fort McHenry be torn down, and @ penal institution be erected in its place,” says the commander, “is particularly repugnant to every patriotic American.” This is quite true; and the fact merely emphasizes how far our penitentiaries fall short of what they should be. Uf a prison were really a place where human derelicts could be reclaimed and turned into honorable and useful citizens—as, some day, all prisons will be—we would think it quite appropriate that one be built on a historic shrine. But as things are; well, we must agree with Commander Wolman. How to Eat, Breakfast Stanley Baldwin, who used to be prime minister of England, remarked the other day that breakfast is the finest meal of the whole day; and since nothing is much Pleasanter than talking about meals, we might just as well go into that topic right now. “I always enjoy my breakfast,” says Mr. Baldwin. “I find it the most pleasant meal of the day. I am getting to be an old man now, but I still come down to break- fast every morning feeling full of great hope, faith and cheer. By lunch time I have lost a great deal of it, and by evening I am nearly giving up all hope for this world or the next.” All of this, of course, proves nothing except that Mr. Baldwin does very well by himself at the breakfast table; but it does call to mind the fact that most Ameri- tans treat their breakfasts in a most unpardonable man- ner. Breakfast ought to be an event; it ought, as it is with Mr, Baldwin, to be an occasion of hope, faith and cheer; but for most of us it is hardly so much as an incident. The chief trouble, probably, is that few of us come > the table fully awake.

Europe’s Hopes and Fears (The Fargo Forum) x Perhaps one can say that the representatives of the nations have taken a further, though feeble, step in advance for peace in their agreement upon a skeleton looking to measures of disarmament, yet one cannot but be impressed by the discordant situation existing on the continent of Europe. No doubt this prel agreement represents the the charges and counter-charges of nation against nation bespeak the fear which still stalks. Out of years of labor this latest move toward peace is merely an agreement that, when the final draft is made @ general conference to be held in the future, armies and navies shall be specified for each country; maximum expenditures for army and navy shall be fixed; naval categories shall be determined; budgetary expenditures for war shall be limited, etc. ‘When the conference was agreeing that some day it hoped a general conference would accept these things, France was busily engaged in building a chain of fort- esses around its eastern frontier; Belgium was plan- & gigantic system of super-fortresses to supplement French chain; Italy was advancing with its pro- for continually strengthening the army and the Hue and that this preliminary real foundation upon which a satisfactory disarmament. edifice can be erected. newest creations-to feature Havana wraps, * Oe * Scientists have announced the weight of the earth as six sextillion tons. “You might know they'd give it in round numbers. * * ® An editor suggests the broadcasting f book reviews.

There will be a tree and Santa Claus will appear at the end. of the program. Christmas Carols, songs, drills, dialogues, pan- tomimes, and recitations will be pre- sented. At the meeting last Fridgy after- noon, the Young Citizens’ league gave a rising vote of thanks to J. C. Poole, W. C. Gehrke, and A. R. Lenthan for furnishing cars and taking the entire Baldwin school to Bismarck last Monday afternoon to see Santa Claus, Mrs. Otto Hogue and éhildren, and Walter Buchholtz rode to Bismarck on Monday with Mrs, Haibeck, who remained in Bismarck Monday eve- ning to take in the program at the community Christmas tree in the N. P. Park. She visited in the Bismarck schools part of the afternoon, observ- ing the methods and texts used in the city school system. Robert Gehrke has been in school all the week in spite of having to keep one eye bandaged. He injured the eyeball with the point of a lead Pencil about two weeks ago. George. Poole, Norman Fricke, Ruben Geigle, Richard Anderson, William Gehrke, Harry Englemann, and Earl Buchholtz did a Hele Si work on Thursday, carrying kegs, pop cases ‘and fourteen foot planks to ula up @ stage and seats for the program to be given Tuesday evening. Some difficulty has been experi- enced in trying to keep the school ‘building comfortable at all times during the week because the furnace grates burned out, making it impos- sible to regulate the fire.

And, from all indications, it seems very Possible indeed that these two players will achieve considerable popularity together. The male half of this team is Gary Cooper. The female half is @ newcomer to the audible screen. Her name is Marlene Dietrich, a rav- ishing, sphinx-like blond’ who has Scored an outstanding success on the Berlin stage. Their first picture together is Par- amiount’s “Morocco,” a vivid and tempestuous story of an unconquer- able love which director Josef von Sternberg has fashioned together with compelling and fascinating skill. In it Cooper plays the role of a ruth- less adventurer of the foreign legion. Incidentally this is one of Cooper's better roles. And Marlene Dietrich, with boundless finesse and distinc- tion, creates a beautiful and alluring woman of the world to whom love brings its full share of happiness and bitterness, Playing together these two are a delight to watch and a joy to listen ti. For rarely have two such contrasting personalities so perfectly suited the mood of the other. Given every opportunity for emotional ex- Pression, Miss Dietrich and Gary Cooper give performances that are a credit and a tribute to the sincere understanding of their characteriza- tions. Inctuded in the cast are Adolphe Menjou, Michael Visaroff, Juliette Compton, Albert Conti, Francis Mac- Donald, Ulrich Haupt and Paul Por- cassi. “Morocco” will be shown at the Paramount theatre for two days be- ginning Christmas day, Thursday. CAPITOL THEATRE The stern code of the hills, that inexorable, unwritten law which holds young womanhood inviolate, is the basic theme of “Eyes of the World,” the Inspiration-United Art- ists dramatization of the Harold Bell | | Wright novel which comes to the Capitol theatre for three days starting tomorrow.

Then try rice for a change. In many eastern countries rice is served with vegetables just as we serve potatoes or bread. Rice may be considered one of the good starches. It is 79 Per cent starch in a form that digests easily. Rice is never an expensive food, for it swells up so greatly while being cooked. Did you ever hear of the man who made up his mind that for once he would cook up enough rice? He chose a large pan and filled it full of rice. When the rice began to swell he filled the frying pan, the dishpan and half the sink. He did not know that five cups of water and ‘one cup of rice make more than four cups of cooked rice. White rice is the kind most com- monly used here, and it is often coat- ed with talc to keep out bugs and dampness. This thin coating does not injure the rice, as it is easily re- moved by washing. Whenever pdssi- ble I would advise you to obtain the brown or natural rice rather than the Polished rice. Brown rice has the advantage of having a more delicious flavor besides containing more or- ganic salts of lime, magnesium, iron, Potassium and phosphorus which are largely removed during the polishing in the case of white rice. In China and Japan it was found that when human beings lived on Polished rice as the exclusive cereal for a long enough time they de- veloped a disease called beriberi. This © | disease seemed to be almost miracu- lously cured by feeding either the na- tural rice or the bran taken from the Polished rice. It was found that the substance lost was vitamin B which clings to the skin of the rice. This vitamin is present in the brown or unpolished rice and it was found that if this type of rice was used the dis- ease beriberi did not develop. Rice should not be served with sugar or fruits. It is all right to serve butter or cream with it, but leave off the sugar, as ir and starch do not digest well together and the result is excessive fermentation. When using rice, use it as the prin- cipal part of the meal, and combine it with cooked and raw vegetables. Tomatoes, being acid, do not com- bine very well with rice. Rice may be used as a cereal for breakfast and may also be used in soups, muffins and croquettes. Many breakfast foods feature rice. A good wholesome breakfast food is made of rice exploded from guns so that it is puffy and crisp; another offers rice in toasted flakes, ready to eat. attempts to wean the affections of the artist. Una Merkel, who startled Broad- way with her vivid characterizations in “Coquette,” and “Pigs,” and who was chosen by D. W. Griffith to play the role of “Ann Rutledge” in “Abra- ham Lincoln,” plays the part of “Sybil” in “Eyes of the World.” John Holland is seen as “Aaron King,” the artist. Nance O'Neil, who is one of America’s greatest emotion- al actresses, portrays the grim role of “Myra,” who haunts the memories of her past, seeking revenge. Others cast are Brandon Hurst, as “Mr. Taine;” Hugh Huntley, as the profligate “James Rutledge; Fern Andra, as the love starved “Mrs. Taine;” Frederic Burt, as “Conrad LaGrange,” and William Jeffrey, as the ranger. > KFYR os WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24 As Kilocycles—545.1 Meters > ‘Weather report.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS * Callous Behind Ear Question: Miss G. C. writes: “TI have a callous behind my ear and it is very painful. It is caused from wearing glasses. I will appreciate it if you will tell me a way to cure this.” Answer: You will probably have to get new bows that do not press on the particular spot where the calloys is at present. Possibly some local treatments by a doctor who uses actinic light would be beneficial.

These treatments consist first of all of those which will Promote unusually good bowel elim~ ination and then in addition, treatment through psychoanalysis will often prove effective in making the patient perfectly normal after the intestinal poisons have been re- moved.

This is very uncomfortable and a! necessitates my keeping them cut short which also is unpleasant. They sometimes crack in a flaky line about half way down. I do the or- dinary housework and eat plain food, so shall be obliged if you will advise me.” Answer: I would advise you to use more of the leafy green vegetables, Principally the uncooked ones so that your system will be well supplied with the organic minerals necessary for the growth of your nails.
