CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON : A Cry for Help | Farmers seeking a bill to protect their sheep from the , Tavages of dogs have sent out a circular which carries as| its head in large type the single word “Help.” | The plea is directed to North Dakota legislators and! to those who sheepmen feel may influence the legisla- tors, Doubtless, there is a good deal of reason for the| appeal. A picture on the cover of the little pamphlet | shows the bodies of a number of dead sheep which are said to have been killed by dogs. As a matter of affection and heart interest, the aver- ‘age man would side with the dog as against all the sheep in the world. The friendly wag of a dog's tail, the friendly look in his eyes, the joyous bark, carry! more sentimental weight with the average man than the bleating of a thousand sheep. But it isn’t altogether a matter of sentiment. It is one of sound business and fairplay. Sheep mean money. ‘They mean prosperity for many a North Dakota farmer who would have indifferent success without them. They} are important in our economic scheme and hence they} must be protected from the ravages of predatory canines. There is still another factor. The same men who Jove dogs may also have sheep and in many cases they are asking passage of the bill for sheep protection. They love dogs but they need the sheep in their business, and so they want the dogs licensed and controlled as a matter of sound economic policy. If it were a matter of exterminating dogs or exter- minating sheep, members of the legislature doubtless would prefer to keep the dog, who has been man’s friend| from pre-historic days. Your true dog lover, and nearly every man is that, would suffer many hardships rather than be deprived of his canine friend. But, thank goodness, the question isn’t that serious. We can keep our dogs and have our sheep also. Our sentiment for the dog need not impair our pocketbooks | which are influenced by the production of wool, lambs and mutton. And so a reasonable bill to protect sheep from the ravages of dogs should pass at this session. Life is daily growing more complicated and, much as we dislike to place restrictions upon dear old Rover, it looks as though we would have to do it. Let's retain our friendship for im but let’s protect North Dakota's growing sheep in- dustry also. Making Progress F. Trubee Davison, assistant secretary of war, an- nounces a great military aerial demonstration to take place on the east coast in the near future and takes ad- vantage of the interest created by his statement to give the nation some idea of the army's progress in aerial warfare. Mention was made recently, in this column, of our army air service as being “slowpoke,” this being the claim of Lieut. Al Williams, noted navy speed flier. Mr. Davison’s review may be considered as something of an answer to this charge and the nation can judge as to which man is right. In two years, Mr. Davison says, the speed of pursuit planes has been raised from 165 to 192 miles an hour; the “ceiling” has been raised from 21,000 to 30,000 feet; | @ 30-caliber machine gun with a range of 2,500 yards has been replaced with a 50-caliber gun with a range of 5,000 yards. In addition, bombs have been provided with a super- sensitive fuse which will explode upon striking so fragile an object as an airplane wing. Instead of coming to close quarters with a formation of bombing planes, fly- ing wing to wing and bristling with machine guns, the modern pursuit pilot can deal with them at long range) with machine guns and bombs. Bombing planes, which are really flying fortresses, have almost doubled their efficiency. Observation planes have raised their speeds from 140 to 160 miles an hour. They carry both radio and) camera, whereas two years ago they could carry either but not both. Mr. Davison predicts still further advances in the near future. This year, he asserts, should see the adoption of @ new type of pursuit plane so arranged that a gunner sits with his back to the pilot and wards off attack from the rear. This would prevent an enemy from getting “on the tail of a pilot, one of the most dreaded maneuvers | of aerial combat during the World war. A long-distance reconnaissance plane is in prospect for the observation corps. Commenting on modern aerial warfare, Mr. Davison said: “peed is essential in military aviation as it is in other forms of flying. In fact, it is almost as much of a factor in combat as it is in racing. But speed alone is not enough. A 300-mile an hour pursuit plane may be able to run away from an enemy, but the duty of pursuit is not to run but to fight, and if the fastest pursuit plane lacks characteristics that enable it to put up @ good scrap, it is useless. What the public should appreciate is that it takes time to trans- form a fast racing plane into a fast combat plane and that some of the speed must be sacri- ficed in the process because the latter craft must have nfargins of safety and structural sturdiness that will enable it to do its complicated job and carry its military load.” ‘We who know little of planes and who still regard an airplane ride as something of an experience, must take Mr. Davison st his word. Certainly we cannot suc- cessfully refute him. And every loyal American will that our air service is as good as the best. There breins and honest hearts in our air service as of our army. We can only hope and pray | be able to keep abreast of developments 4n order that—come what may—this nation Veterans Not Asking Political prognosticators forecast passage by congress of the bill to cash the service certificates issued to World war veterans in 1925, and this despite the fact that Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury, is opposed to it. Those who might charge that this proposal was one made to meet the demands of World war veterans had better look closely into the situation, for any such as- sertion would be unjustified. The demand for this ac- tion has come from politicians rather than from World war veterans. There are a few ex-servicemen, of course, who clamor for every aid and benefit to which their service record may entitle them. And, usually, it will be found that such individuals have records which give them little cause to brag. They are cnly a few, whereas the great army of ex- servicemen are asking nothing of the government for themselves and are not demanding anything now. ‘The meeting of war veterans held in Bismarck this week under the auspices of the American Legion illus- trates the point. It was freely discussed as to whether/| the ex-serviceman has a right to ask his government for} anything at this time and no vote was taken until after| it had been explained that the meeting was called merely to find out what the veterans would prefer if anything is to be done about cashing the bonus certificates. Where-} upon the vote was unanimous in favor of cash payment.| That was only natural. Where is the man who would not, when given the option, express a preference for im-} mediate payment of a sum of money in preference to} waiting 15 yelrs to collect it. The significant thing, however, is that the veterans were merely expressing a preference, not voicing a de- mand. \ Still more significant is the fact that, when H. M.; Pippin, a veteran from Halliday, asserted that the ques- tion now facing the veteran is what he can do for his country, rather than what can the country do for him, he received a rousing cheer. It was not a “raspberry” | cheer either, but one which came from spontaneous agreement with the idea expressed. Why, then, the bonus? The answer is not hard to find. Veterans of the World war have reached the point where they are be- ginning to take over the reins in the conduct of business and in the professions. Time has mellowed the mental wounds of war and there is a fellowship among them which exists among no other group of men in this coun- try. They look at many things from a common angle. And among those things is politics. What more natural, then, that politicians should cater to this group which, while daily growing smaller in number, is steadily growing in importance. This ex- Plains the 60-odd bills which have been introduced in congress dealing with payment of the adjusted com- pensation certificates, “ 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. Flasher Expresses Itself (Flasher Tribune) Jamestown is putting up a gasping battle to have the state capitol moved from Bismarck to their town Other towns also have thrown their headgear into the arena. Flasher dots not want the state capitol—politics are! tabooed in Flasher—but if the powers that be are to put| the state institutions on skids the Flasher community might consider the state “hoosegow,” the state “nut house,” or the state Toonerville trolley. Better Times | (Hazleton Independegt) | It newspaper reports are to be believed, times are | picking up and every effort is being made to bring them back to normalcy. Daily papers the first of the week carried the announcements that many of the large fac- tories in the east were putting their men back to work and preparing for quite a busy season of activities. This is the only thing that will improve the times, for when millions of. men are unemployed they have no money with which to buy even the bare necessities of life, to say nothing of automobiles and such luxuries. And when men are not employed, distribution of manufactured goods! naturally stops, and the only way to create a market for the world's commodities is to see that labor is employed and that farmers get a respectable return for what they Produce, so that the buying power of the nation may be re-established. It is certainly gratifying to hear of this activity among manufacturers, pa Desaie Anna Pavlowa (St. Paul Dispatch) ¥ Now and then there appears in the world a great artiste whose star shines with an unusual brilliance. Anna Pavlowa, the noted Russian ballerina, who died the other day at The Hague, held in the dancing world the same high position that was accorded in the. theatre to the great Sarah Bernhardt. Pavlowa was regarded the equal of the now nearly mythical Taglioni, Cerito and Elisler, the greatest danseuses of the French and Italian schools of the first half of the: last century. She belonged to the Russian school which united the romanticism of old-time ballet lore with a genuinely modern realism. It is largely through her dancing that this school is now in its heyday. “The Death of the Swan,” the ballet in which, 20 years ago, she aroused the world to extravagant applause, was considered the height of her achievement. Those who can say, “I've seen the great Pavlowa dance,” are now as envied as those who once said, “I heard Jenny Lind sing.” pet The Soviets Are Offended (Minneapolis Journal) The Soviet government indignantly rejects Great Britain's request to be permitted to investigate for itself the matter of forced labor by convicts on logs-and lum- ber, dumped .by the Soviet on other markets. Russia, say the Bolsheviki, utilizes convicts on road work, just like other governments. How would those other gov- ernments feel, should the Soviets ask to investigate lator in their domains? So virtuously do the Russians reply. This would be more convincing, if it had not been brought out immediately after announcement that the Soviets had ordered mobilization of all railroad work- ers, regardless of their present jobs. They may have work and residence to their liking. No matter; they must give it up, and go where the Soviet government wants them to go, and work on the’ railroads, Thus with Russian labor. Denials that it is forced will fall upon skeptical ears. And the problem raised by Soviet dumping must be met, no matter how altruistic are the pleas of persons who feel deeply, tenderly for the welfare of almost any people but their own. Foolish Man! (Duluth Herald) The late Albert E. Pillsbury, former attorney general of Massachusetts, seems to have got quite worked up about the behavior of women these days. When he died he left twenty-five thousand dollars each to Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia on the condition that they use the money to fight the tendency of women to go into business and public life, and that they carry on a campaign for the purpose of “returning woman to her place in the home.” Harvard yesterday rejected this gift because of the string attached to it. Harvard was wise, and the other universities will also be wise if they do the same thing. ‘Woman’s place, it may as well be granted, is wherever she can make good. ‘Woman can do no nobler thing than to build a home; that shall be a loved retreat for her husband and chil- dren, sending them out into the world strengthened and heartened for the battle with its problems. women seek careers outside the home, as but it gives free information on any subject.

The history of the printing newspapers in America, properly be- gins on September 25, 1690, for it was upon that date that Richard Pierce issued the first number of what was to have been a periodical publication. There was however but one issue of “Public Occurrences, Both Foreign and Domestic.” The first newspaper which continued publication was the “Boston News Letter,” first issued on April 24, 1704. Q. What color is easiest on the eyes? L. W. A, The ‘American investigators, Ferree and Rand, have found that there was less fatigue of the eye for yellow light than for red, blue, and green. They also found that visual acuity and speed of vision, and, in fact, all the visual functions were at their best under yellow light. Ruffer, a German investigator, has recently found the same thing. He found that visual acuity and speed of vision are greater for yellow light than for green, red, white, or blue. He is of the opinion that blue and red lights are the colors most fatiguing to the eye. Other German investigators have obtained the same results. Q. How did the Black Watch start? C. B. N. A. The origin of the Black Watch dates from 1729 when a number of loyal Highlanders were embodied forming ‘six independent companies and constituted a part of the regular army. They wore the dress of their country, a tartan of dark color, which gained for them the Gaelic appella- tion of Freicudan Du, that is, Black Watch, in contra-distinction to reg-.

What race of people was the first to practice medicine or the art of healing? A. J.N. A. The» United States Public Health Service says that the begin- nings of the art of healing or medi- cine are lost in the mists of antiquity. ‘The earliest available records indi- cate that some form of healing was practiced. Q. Do the dikes of Holland have to be repaired frequently? B. J. A. The effectual maintenance of the dikes is a constant anxiety and entails strenuous exertion.

I am therefore going to outline a simple treatment that the mother can use which usually has the effect of stopping the cough, thus al- lowing both mother and child to have 2 good night's rest. ‘When the cough has been brought on by a cold settling in the throat or bronchial tubes, then the best thing to do is to use the sweating treat- ment. Put the child in a warm bath and heat the water gradually until as hot as he can stand. He should be left in for from ten to twenty min- utes, or until he begins to perspire. Have the bath room warm. Take the child from the bath, dry quickly, and rub the chest and upper back with camphorated oil or some of the eucalyptus oils or menthol ointments. Then cover this with some old silk and pin around a vest made from an old woolen blanket or woolen sweater. While the child is still warm wrap him in a woolen blanket. Pin this around the neck and put the child to bed, being careful that no chilling oc- curs. Pile more blankets over, keep- ing them tucked in at the sides. Give the child plenty of warm lemonade or orangeade to drink until profuse sweating starts. ‘This treatment may be used with success just before the child goes to sleep. It is best to keep the blanket pinned around the throat so that it cannot be thrown off during the night. This sweating treatment may also be used morning and afternoon. A child with a cough or cold should also be put on a short fast. Give oranges or tomatoes as much as de- sired. Use no other food. This fruit fast will have beneficial effect on the elimination of poisons which are causing the trouble, and will also-re- duce the acidity of the blood. Do not be afraid to keep the child on a fast for three or four days until the cold has disappeared. It will also help to have the child drink all the water he will take, as this flushes the system and speeds the cure. Of course, the bowels should be kept clean. For this purpose, there is nothing better than the enema. In giving an cnema to a child be sure not to use too much water and do not let the water run in too fast. Oil the ve with a little vaseline or: olive oil, The next time your child -has a cough try this remedy. Such a com- mon sense method is much to be pre- ferred to using cough syrups to cure the cough. Many of these syrups con- tain chloroform and have the effect 1M REGARD TO HEALTH ¢ DIET WILL BE WO OW BE ASSRESSED IN CANE OF THRS PHPER of suppressing the cough without re- itd the cause which is producing “This treatment which I have out- Dr. McCoy will gladly answer Personal questions on health and diet addressed to him, care of The Tribune.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Soda and Gas Question: Grandma writes: “I am troubled with gas, and a friend of mine told me to take powdered borax. IT have been taking baking soda. Which do you think is best? I am an old lady seventy-five years old and ; want to do the right thing. I do not want to teke anything that will in- jure me, as I enjoy pretty good health.’ Answer: Why take either of thesc 5 remedies, for if you eat according to my weekly menus published in this Paper you should not be troubled with excessive gas. If you will send me your name and address on a large stamped envelope I will be glad to send you some special articles on the subject of excessive gas. As you just signed your letter “Grandma” and as there are so many Grandmas in the world, I am afraid a letter would not reach you as easily as it does Santa Claus. Fattening Foods Question: F. P. writes: “As I am a little overweight, would like to know if raisins, grapes, and sweet potatoes are fattening.” Answer: These foods may be said to be fattening if they are taken in large enough quantities, but small amounts would probably not put on added weight in your case, as you say you are only a little overweight. Skin Turning Yellow Question: McR. writes: “My skin is slowly turning yellow. Can you give me any method of bleaching it?” Answer: You may be developing Jaundice, in which case you should take a strict fasting and diet treat- ment. If your yellow color is not caused by excessive bile in your blood it may be because you are eating too many carrots. The carrotin or yellow color of carrots will discolor the skin, usually starting in the palms of the hands. This coloring in the body is apparently harmless. If carrots cause your color and you want to get rid of it, it will be necessary for you to leave \, them out of your diet for several weeks before your color will become normal. ‘ U name of his state or his country. seems to me that it is more his duty to’ free mankind from this. sort of thing.—Professor Albert Einstein, > | KFYR u OF SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1 550 Kilocycles—545.1 Meters 10:00—Sacred organ recital: Grace uryee Morris. . 10:10—Judge Rutherford lectures (Int, Bible Students association). 10:25—Weather reportt. 10:30—Church services: First Presby- terian church.
