CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Fine Place to Visit \ It’s a long way off, and getting there is undoubtedly | expensive; but we have a feeling that the island of | Chikoku would be a very fine place to visit. Chikoku, in case you don’t know, is a diminutive island| owned by the Japanese. What advantages it may have in the way of scenery, climate and so on we do not! know; but it does seem to have a hotel that ought to appeal to every traveler. | In this hotel you tip the proprietor when you arrive ‘and he tips you when you depart. When a traveler checks in, for example, he hands the proprietor a sum of money, which determines the kind of accommodations he will get. If he gives him, say, 20; cents, he gets a run-of-the-mine room. For 30 cents he| gets something better, and for half a dollar he gets the best in the house—the bridal suite, probably, or the room that has a bath. But this tipping isn't done in any “Here, my good] man” spirit. The guest puts the money in an envelope,! kneels down, and pushes it across the floor to the! recipient. The proprietor, in his turn, is bound to accept it graciously, as if it were both a surprise and a high! favor { Then, when the guest leaves, the process is reversed. | Only the guest does not get cash from the proprietor; he gets an embroidered hand towel, given to him with just ‘as much ceremony as accompanied the first exchange. There is, as you have probably noticed, something ex- tremely apt about that farewell gift. Many American travelers have left American hotels carrying towels bought by the management—but the management never finds out until it is too late. At any rate, that is the way the hotel is run in Chiko-) ku; and it seems to us that a visit to Chikoku ought to be pleasant and instructive. How could one fail to! have a friendly feeling for his host, after that initial! ceremony of pushing an envelope full of 30 cents across i} | i Jean Chiappe, prefect of police, and his traffic com- mission, all automobiles will cease to blow their horns, whistles and bells on strect cars and trains and tugboats will be stilled, orchestras, except at licensed places, will stop wailing, and motorcycles must leave the streets. i Ordinarily we think of Paris as a city ot finely-cooked foods, gay ladies, swanky officers and devilish doings, but Paris now goes to bed at 10 o'clock whereas the: saxophone player next door may moan until midnight in Bismarck without encountering trouble with the law, for a city ordinance passed less than a year ago permits | ordinary whoopee until that hour. Our Vision Will Last Each age brings something of enchantment with it. | And the men who help to create it have a habit of dreaming fondly that it will live long after them. 1 Each night, as dusk deepens, the skylines of great} cities come swinging into silhouette against the sky, out- lined in the brilliant splendor of lights that shine in| windows far above. The stars, which have grown lower] since the buildings have climbed higher, grow a little | pale as the lights climb skyward. We think of our upward progress as part of the trend of civilization. We believe that our towers will go climb- | ing upward always. We talk of lasting values. i But now Cass Gilbert, architect of the Woolworth; building in New York City, has made the statement that) some day the skyscraper must go. Climate will not let{ the broken silhouettes that etch themselves so high each day stay unharmed. It makes us catch our breath a little to think that this/ myst pass. That skyline of New York, which pilgrims love to! glimpse from a ferry boat, at dusk, as it hangs in the| clouds like a shining city from an old, old story-book, will be gone. | Sailors, far at sea, won't catch the gleam of far,) high lights where men have climbed. The bays of western cities will stretch quietly to green| hills beyond where lower buildings cling. | The earth-love will come back. Men will cling to the ground as though they pitched their tents and are re- maining. And the questers who climbed into the clouds to find a spangled rainbow, or sit upon a gilded moon, will come down. ° ‘The Sphinx has stood while thousands of years have drifted across the desert, The pyramids have centuries of tales that they could tell. But the new form of architecture, which scaled heights which they could not attain, must go some day. It is hard for us to realize that still another civiliza- tion may follow ours. One thing is certain, America will still build to the sky. Other countries will follow suit. | Had the Sphinx collapsed, the Egyptians would prob- ably have decided that it was time they pulled up their tents and went back home again. Maybe our buildings won’t remain but our viewpoint will live. It is upward now, not downward as it was when the pyramids were just beginning, It looks to the future, not to the past. Its gaze goes high, Maybe our buildings won't stand. But our vision will last. And that is infinitely more important. Editorial Comment w show the trend of thought are published without regard ree with The Trib- Fditorials printed be: by other editors, TI to whether they a, or di une's poli the floor? How could the proprietor fail to give onc! especial attention? | An American hotel proprietor who tried to adopt that; system would come to grief, probably. The average, hotel in this country has just a few too many guests; to make it feasible; and, as was remarked above, a lot; of them get their gift towels anyway. But it is too bad} something of the kind can’t be worked out. Traveling} would take on a new joy, and stopping at hotels would) How Often Do You Borrow? (Grand Forks Herald) According to a compilation recently made the average American family borrows money once in every two years! to meet an emergency of some kind. Of all American} men earning less than $5 a week, one in every three asks for a loan at the banks or other loaning agencies. Most of the small loans, it appears, are made for the purpose ot helping some person other than the borrower.| A mother borrows to help her son out of a serious situa- tion; a sister borrows to pay for an operation which may be a gay adventure. Greener Pastures Every grown person has a dream stuck away some Place in a dusty corner of his heart . . . a dream of the| thing that he wanted to do when he grew up. And/ frequently still wants to do, although he knows that he; might as well wish for Aladdin's lamp or the flying! carpet. i His Highness the Prince of Wales isn't any different) than other men. He knows exactly what he would do! if he didn’t have to spend his time performing equestrian | stunts while he waits around for the day that he willj sit on a throne. He would be a newspaper correspondent. | Plenty of newspapermen, and plenty of men who) aren't newspapermen, have wanted to be kings. Every) youngster has pretended, some time or other, that the garden swing was a throne and the boy who lived next door and the little girl across the street were his faith-} ful subjects. But if monarchs have felt the urge to go after a story they have kept still about it. H The Prince of Wales has had plenty of opportunity toi grow acquainted with the newspaper world. Corre- spondents have questioned him on everything from his favorite kind of breakfast food to his preference in women. He has heard them tell of their assignments. And he has decided that he would like to go after a big) Story somewhere . . . a story that had pathos and humor,, drama and conflict, which he could toss against the front page for all the world to read. Almost any editor would give the prince a job. He! would be interested in seeing what sort of a nose for news a prince could have. And it is certainly truc that] almost anyone would be willing to grant the heir to the} British throne an interview. | ‘But since he has royal blood in his veins the future king can't follow the drama of today and record the’ adventures of others. He has to continue to piay the| lead in the stories instead. Not even princes can have the things they want always. They have to wear crowns when they prefer printers’ ink, They have to let re- Porters question them when they have all sorts of leads for better stories. Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Prince of Walcs, Duke of Cornwall, and several other | tities, can't get a daily by-line for nows stories. His| name would be too long for that purpose, anyway. But} he would iike to, and that fact makes him distinctly human. The school teachers who wanted to wear spangled} Gresses and ride bareback in a painted show; the judges; who dreamed of lassotng bronchos in a west far wilder; than any cinema has found; the bookkeepers who would} Ike to be aviators; the newspapermen who once in a while have npeeeaie it would be rather amusing to change places with the>parties they have interviewed... They ‘Apa the latter group will agree that if the prince got started he probably would be even less interested in "Greet Britain's throne than he is now. . Hectic Paris Slows Down ‘Tourists won't have much reason for going to Paris é ‘There's ' {to attempt to have the capital city of North Dakota {save her brother's life; a boy borrows to pay his father’s jrailroad fare to a climate where his health may be benefitted. These are given as characteristic reasons for |loans made by banks which have special departments for loaning to salaried persons. The largest single group of borrowers, 22 per cent, is made up of clerical employes. Salesmen account for 13 per cent; public employes of nation, state or municipality, 10 per cent; departmental heads, 8 per cent. About 30 per cent of the loans go to women, and there is said to be no difference between the sexes in meeting their financial obligations. Sclf-supporting women are said to show a business-like attitude in asking for and paying back small loans. A Black Page (Minot News) When the North Dakota legislature 16 years ago re- pealed the capital punishment law, there were no en- thusiastic delegations on hand to protest the action by the lawmakers. Not one of the individuals who made up the mob that yesterday morning lynched Charles Bannon, after breaking into the McKenzie county jail, was on hand to tell the legislative committee that there were many in North Dakota who believed that conditions might justify the extreme penalty. But there were those who influenced by mob psychology joined in an undertaking that will forever tend to blot the record of a peace-loving state. The News holds no brief for Charles Bannon. No punishment legally inflicted, could be too severe for the self-confessed young criminal. But society now finds that to the heinous massacre of an entire family, has been added a lynching which among other things tells the world that there are people, otherwise law-abiding, who insist on taking the law into their hands when the occasion prompis. The McKenzie county lynching,sthe twelfth that has occurred in North Dakota in 43 years of statehood, and the first that has occurred since the repeal of the capital punishment law is a dark page in the state's history, justified by no stretch of imagination. Jamestown’s Campaign (Devils Lake Journal) | While we do not blame Jamestown for its campaign transferred to the Stutsman county seat, we cannot all accept the argument that the state would be greatly benefited thereby. Jamestown residents motivated by a spirit of civic pride, naturally, want to make their city greater, and they see in the possible transfer of the state capital the opportunity for this, We have said before that_every city in the state would like to be the state capital, but that only a few of them are willing at this time to take it away from Bismarck, The interesting point is that an effort is being made to ruin one city of the state in order to build another, which really would happen if, by any chance, the capital were transferred to Jamegtown, and we are not assured + Jamestown would make a better job of it than; Bismarck has. ‘When a city has been capital of a state for nearly fifty years, it 1s generally conceded that it should remain as such. Many state officials and state employes own their homes in Bismarck, and something of a hardship would be worked upon these were the capital changed. Moreover, the state has a large investment in the present capital city which it might be compelled to sacrifice were the capital transferred to another city. ‘The country at large hes accustomed itself to think- ing Bismarck as the capital of North Dakota and while this may not be considered’an argument of maintaining Bismarck as the seat of government, it is, nevertheless, ‘an important factor to be considered in the matter, North Dakota, in the past decade, has done many revolutionary things to. command the nation’s attention. ‘State-owned industries, political upheavals and the recent What do you need to know?

EL A. “Making a Living,” by Lyon say, ‘Pay in most libraries is not high. . + Trained persons without experience are commanding from $1,100 to $1,600 or more, yearly. Most salaries are probably below $2,000, but | many individuals receive from $2,000 ; to $10,000, with only a few, however, in ‘the upper level.” a raise as_ much wheat as the United States? E. W. A.

A form of policy in which the insured agrees to carry insurance equal to a certain Percentage of the value of the prop- erty insured (usually 80 per cent) and in corisideration of this, sometimes receives a reduction in rate. If he fails to maintain insurance to the extent agreed upon and should have The Groundhog @ partial loss, he will be unable to collect the full amount of his claim, us he becomes a co-insurer and is re- sponsible for his proportion of the loss. Credit insurance is a guaranty that a manufacturer or jobber (poli- cies aré~not issued to retailers) shall not suffer from those losses occur- ring because of the insolvency of debtors coming within the coverage of the policy, which are in excess of the normal loss incident to his parti- cular business. The insuring com- | Pany guarantees to pay the. policy- holder the net excess over this nor- mal loss. Q. For whom is the Governor | Winthrop desk named? E. M. M. A.

It is also wholesome and easily digestible. Salisbury steak as offered in many restaurants is often called Salisbury Steak Spanish, the meat being served with # Spanish sauce over it. The sauce usually con- sists of onions, peppers, garlic, etc., which are not very wholesome. If you are eating out, the best plan is to order Salisbury steak without 4 sauce, or dry. In this way you get an order of plain broiled Salisbury steak. If you combine the steak with raw salads and some cooked non- starchy - vegetables, with Jello or stewed fruit for a dessert, you will grind the steak at home in your own grinder. This is more satisfac- than having the meat ground at butcher shop in a mill where is probably some fat or gristle remaining from the grinding of ham- burger earlier in the day. This ground round steak should not be compared with hamburger, as it con: sists only of the plain muscle meat ground up, whereas hamburger con- sists of fat, gristle and other portions of the meat. In preparing the steak, form it into round patties or press it flat into a pan such as a cake tin. Do not grease the.tin. Place in a hot oven and turn the fire down. It will be done in about five minutes and rare in about three minutes.

This diet may be re- peated occasionally with marked ben- efit, The results will convince you that excessive fermentation of focd is responsible for many symptoms and ailments brought on by wrong mix- tures of even good foods. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Adhesions Question: Mrs, E. G. H. writes: “I am 35 years old and feel that I have to be stretching the muscles of my left. side continua‘iy or they will be shorter than those on the right side. ‘What do brown srots larger than a half dollar on the waistline on the left back denote?” Answer: The tightness on your left side may be due to adhesions. The brown spots indicate some form of acidosis and appear in the one place due to poor circulation in the section. Answers to Letters Question: Mrs. G. A. P. asks: “Don't you answer everyone's letter? If so, why didn’t I get an answer? 1 wrote you better than a month ago on Neuritis, and watch the paper each evening for my answer, but never get any.” Answer: There is only space to answer two or three questions each day, so those who ask questions may have to wait a long time before they see the answer in the paper, as I re- ceive hundreds of such questions each day. Your letter would have beer answered at once if you had enclosed @ large self-addressed stamped en- velope. These answers in the paper must be short and to the point, and it is usually far more satisfactory to get a complete answer through cor- respondence, as I am then able to send you full information on any subject. Smothering Spells Question: H, J. asks: “Would kid- ney trouble cause smothering spells?” Answer: There may be smothering spells with those in the last stages of certain kidney disorders, but if you { have been having these spells for some time they are doubtless due to some other cause, such as heart trouble or excessive stomach or in- ) testinal gas.
