[CAGO NEW YORK BOSTON 1.50 7.00 : Wireless in the Desert Wireless messages are going to fly across the Arabian | desert pretty soon, all the way from thé Red sea to the Persian gulf. . Mecca, the forbidden city, where temple bells chant psalms for those who are believers, will have a wireless | telephone and telegraph. King Ibn Saud has entered| into a contract with the Marconi company for 15 sta- Hl tions. Civilization is sweeping into sacred ground and now, when the caravans start their wanderings, they will be in contact with the world outside. Of course the old order must always give way to the new, on the eastern desert as well as by the northern) Jake where Arthur cast his sword when the Round Table broke up forever. Progress is as typical of adventure and romance as any knight that ever wore a crimson doublet and rode a snow-white steed. But there are many people in the world today who} read with a sense of loss the notice that the wireless} has conquered the desert. They haven't sat on the golden sands and dreamed through star-strewn nights. They haven't watched the swarthy faces of the white-robed sheiks or heard the softened magic in the rhythm of their voices. They haven't caught the scent of spiced) perfumes and incense when the rugs swung apart where some Arab pulled his tent. But the very fact that there was an outpost, far to the East, untouched by anything more than the color of their own desires, where caravans were as secluded now as they were in Bible days, has caught the fancy of those who dare to dream. When life became too practical, too full of realism so necessary for success, they could close their eyes and} remember that somewhere the storied land lay untouched. | It will still be there. The caravans will plod their) way as they have done for thousands of years. But the sense of slipping off into a medley of silver nights and| warm, gold days, all rudders cast aside, will change the journey. Most of the people who long to preserve a little of the old order will never see it. They must spend their time at desks; before machinery; back of the counter. Cairo and the Shalimar are as forbidden to them as Mecca itself. But always they have one word in their mind. Some day... ‘And a wireless message flashing out from the spot) where a caravan has pitched its tents, while it makes for safety and efficiency, and will save lives and time in war, somehow spoils the old picture. So many dreams must live and die in our hearts. No one can say that the world is lacking in romantic pro- gress today. The very fact that voices go drifting around the world and ships fly high above the clouds disproves all of that. | But somehow the desert was a secret world of mystery. And now it, too, has joined the modern improvement society. | Good for Us H Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, dictionary editor and a man credited with knowing—or at least knowing of—some 60,000,000 words; asserts that kissing is good for the digestion. He makes thé interesting assertion in a current maga- zine article and gives his reasons, all of them scientific.! Mr. Vizetelly says, for instance, that in kissing only beneficient organisms are encountered and that the ad- vantages outweight the risks, for it provides the kissers with microbes which are useful for digestion. Furthermore, and still more interesting, Mr. Vizetelly asserts that these beneficient organisms flourish in great- est abundance on the lips of the young and comely. | He selects a few of his alleged 60,000,000 words to define} @ kiss as follows: “Tt is a seal that expresses sincere affection; a pledge of future union; a gift, which, as given, takes from us. the impression of our heart; a crimson balsam for the heart-broken soul; in fact, kisses are the grains of gold and silver—precious stongs from the thine of the heart— that enrich the store of happiness when hearts are sur- charged with love's electricity.” A ‘Whether we agree with the definition or not, we are Pleased to learn that kissing is not so harmful as the scientific killjoys would have us understand. Despite threats of death and devastation to come, most of us have gone on kissing just the same. Without under- Standing just why, we have felt that it is good for the system, even though we could not put up a good argu- ment. Now, instead of regarding a tendency to kiss as a weakness for which we should apologize to the bacter- iologists, we can look upon it as a sign of strength. What physical asset contributes more to our well-being than a good digestion? How much money would it take to buy a whole new stomach in good working order? But even as we applaud Mr. Vizetelly’s versatility in giving support to one of our favorite practices, we look | gressive Republican Party of North Dakota.” when delivered with proper gusto, What matter if a wife isn't a good cook? same to him. Modern Witchcraft costs about $125,000,000 annually. John Mulholland, a professional magician says this sum is spent every year by people who consult fake fortune-tellers, astrol- ogists, phrenologists and crystal gazers, trying to tear away the veils of the future. Ever since the Witch of Endor lived in a cave some place near Jerusalem, for King Solomon, people have been making the same kind of pilgrimages. As a rule the fake fortunesteller manages to give some encouraging information. The power of suggestion is strong. People become happier, expectant of some- thing good, and since they are in the mood, perhaps good fortune is caught more easily. The psychology of prophecy is a powerful factor. Of course, it is a shame to see $125,000,000 wasted. But it may be that some small percentage of it comes back with interest. Not because the fortune-teller can read tomorrow's calendar, but because he probably does bring a little happiness when he forecasts a roseate future. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They aro published without regard to whether they agree or a ree with The Trib- une’s poll Drake Enters Race (Drake Register) advantageous sites for the capitol of North Dakota, it Rockford that Bismarck is not in the center of the State but a glance at the map will indicate also that neither Jamestown nor New Rockford can lay claim to this title. The geographic center of the state is a point about 15 miles south of Drake and such being the case the most logical Isite for the new capitol building should be in Drake. North Dakota but it is served by railroads that run di- agonally across the state from the southeast to the | northwest and from the northeast to the southwest. No other city in the state can lay claim to being on the cross-roads of this great state. In addition to the Soo Line, which thus makes Drake the center of its vast system in North Dakota; the main) line of the Great Northern runs within six miles of the city thus affording easy connection with all the towns of that system. The greatest highway of the state, number nine, which connects up with every other important highway in North Dakota, passes through Drake and finds this city at its mid-point. Incidentally it might be mentioned that this is the longest highway in the state and also passes through the greatest number of cities and towns. Realizing the importance of Drake as the center of the state, various civic leaders in the city are planning to have maps prepared which will show the strategic position of Drake, with regard to transportation in North Dakota. T. E. Sleight, mayor of ‘Drake and for- mer representative to the state legislature, states that the amount of money that would be saved to the tax- payers of North Dakota in mileage alone would more than pay for the new capitol in a period of years. “It is not the intentions of the Drake citizens to oppose Bismarck as the site for the state capitol,” de- clared President Joe Rindt of the Drake Commercial club, “but if the site is to be changed we cannot see any logical reason why Jamestown or New Rockford should get the capitol on the argument of more centrally loca~} ed city. On the basis of that argument, Drake alone is entitled to the site.” The Drake Commercial club With a membership of 174 members have delegated a committee of ten prominent businessmen to make arrangements for a campaign to} acquaint the people of North Dakota with the advantages of this city as a site for the capitol should any of the other cities of the state make a determined fight to change the site. Already a fund of $1,500.00 has been pledged to carry on this campaign. A New Political Party Is Old Stuff (Hettinger County Herald) A proselyting gentleman once told us: “My church is @ new one. It hasn't a large member- ship as yet, but il is the kind of church that everyone can join.’ We were reminded of this man again this week when, the Herald received an invitation to join in the move- ment to start a new political organization, the “Pro- The new organization offers as an inducement “that all progressives in the state will consider that they have a special invitation to attend. This includes all pro- gressives whether they are Nonpartisans, I. V. A’s or Democrats.” Evidently it is the kind of a political party anyone may join—if he or she wishes. The name of the new organization is intriguing. All and most of us consider ourselves Republicans, whether of the Hoover variety, Independent, Nonpartisan, stand- pat or wishy-washy. And all of us like variety and novelty. Secretly many of us have an ambition to be a political boss; a nice, modest political boss, noted for sagacity, fairness and ability to manage men and affairs of state, but with a good big stick with which to enforce discipline, if nec- essary. Certainly, let us have another political party in North Dakota. We have skipped a season or two without start- ing one. The time calls for “strong men,” with “heads above the crowds,” with strong voices and sun-kissed noses; new leaders and some grand new cause to fight for. However, please excuse us if we do not donate to help build a new political party. After we get it all nicely built a few smart politicians will take it’ over. They will use the machine to put over pet projects. Real politicians are men who have the time to work at the job the year around. through election years and make for happier homes as well as better a If a hus- band kissed her often enough and with the proper ap- preciation, heavy biscuits or fluffy ones would be all the There is a streak of curiosity in human nature that} and found out a thing or two} With Jamestown and New Rockford making claims as| appears that an active campaign will be made to take! the site away from Bismarck. { The argument is advanced by Jamestown and New) Not only is Drake located in the geographic center ot! of us wish to be thought progressive, truly progressive—| yy, | i | | Take advantage of this free service.

So far, I have adhered strictly to your milk and * orange diet juice regimen, but just - wonder why the child isn’t old enough ‘ at one year to take solid food.” Answer: Probably the main reason why I advise milk and orange juice up to between two and three years of age is because it always vorks so perfectly. Children gain weight on - it, have no digestive disturbances, and seem healthy in every way. When the other foods you mention are used there is apt to be a good deal of di- gestive trouble. Nature probably did - 7 + not expect children to eat until-their teeth were sufficiently developed to be able to chew foods other than the ! liquid diet.
