Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Undernourished Love Bife is made up mostly of backstage scenes. People fre in masquerade when they stand in front of the footlights. And that’s the way it was with Harriet Schneider of Chicago. She had a fur collar and cuffs on her winter coat, and her beret was as cheaply smart as anybody's. She and her mother made punchboards at home for al factory and they played bridge sometimes, when boys! whom Harriet knew dropped in. Of course, her father hhad been out of work for six months, but Alberta, who ‘Was 21, had an office job, Albert, 16, was a mechanic apprentice. Life wasn’t especially interesting but it, wasn't tragic, the people thought. But the other day Harriet shot her father. She wanted to kill him, she is saying. She isn’t sorry that she did. For in the drab little house there had been unhappiness for a long, long time. Albert Schneider, according to Harriet, had been drinking. He came home and started to abuse his wife. He made accusations against both the mother and daughter, and then asked for his clothes, | saying that he was leaving the house. Harriet packed them but she slipped her father’s gun in her pocket. When he started to attack her mother again she pulled the trigger. And that shot carried} the matter from behind scenes to the center of the stage. Every child has a right to a home which is bounded by love and laughter and unselfishness. Every little boy and girl who does not listen with rapturous eyes for the sound of homing footsteps when the day is done, has missed a priceless heritage. Children who have unselfish devotion and wise coun- selorship seldom kill their parents. But those who have, been wounded and outraged, over and over again, until| finally their sense of right and wrong is as tangled as| neglected woodland path, sometimes reach the point where a flaming anger, or a deadly coolness seizes them. It takes such a little time to press a trigger. And instead of righting a wrong another one has been tommitted. Harriet Schneider did not shoot her father from a sense of chivalry. She thought she was protecting her mother, but there was another motive, deeper than that. She/ was revolting against home conditions, but she didn't! know it. Mrs. Schneider has expressed no grief over her hus- band’s death. She, too, had suffered from his unkindness. The very fact that three children had to be reared in a home so void of gracious qualities makes the situa- tion more pitiful. Childhood has a right to fathers and mothers who love and respect each other. When the en- vironment fails, it isn’t the fault of the child who never had the right nourishment. Trees can't grow straight and strong when the soil is barren. Life’s Grim Realities There is something strangely pathetic in the story of Nicholas Solombino, 19, of White Plains, N. Y., who: wanted to go to the movies and stole $4.95 from the bank of his three-year-old niece so he could. i] Nicholas Solombino is going to stay in jail for one| year now. He broke a law and there are punishments for offenders. But he must have been very surprised ‘when he went home from the last glamorous show and discovered that perfect fadeouts are found only on the silver screen. The bank probably stood on a shelf in the kitchen where Nicholas could see it every time he entered the room to wash his hands or get a drink. At first it didn’t mean much to him. It was just the box where his niece gleefully slipped pennies and nickels and dime’ through ® crack, . Down the street the moving picture palaces flaunted the charms of a glorious make-believe world. Men with the grace of a Don Juan and the physique of a magazine clothes illustration climbed the business ladder and hung their shingles—law, medicine, or business—at the top. Nicholas Solombino was probably given to dreams, He liked to forget about life as it was lived around him and pretend that he was somebody else. And the cinema knew how to advertise. But he didn’t have enough money to buy a seat in the house. He was barred from the Promised Land, And then he noticed the bank. He rattled it care- fully one day when nobody was around. It was heavier than he had thought. Maybe he put it back and thought for a while. After all, it wasn’t his money. Still... it would be a long time until his three-year-old niece grew up. One day he opened the bank and counted the money. ‘There was $4.95. So Nicholas Solombino went to the movies. He kept going until the money was gone. Then he went to jail. Very often there is a pathetic void in the lonely life of a man pr woman or child which a book or a play will satisfy. For a little while they are able to slip away from the unpleasantness that surrounds them and be the person of whom they are reading or the one whom they are watching in a gay and gallant part. Nicholas Solombino did wrong, of course. He took another’s money. But the punishment may be lessened by the memories which he will have of $4.95 worth of ‘omance and adventure. Loyalty and Courage Loyalty is rather a scarce commodity. thing in an unpleasant situation. It doesn’t make any difference where the game is being played. There is something rather fine about those who stay to the end and are unafraid. Pajamas and a Prince During his stay at the presidential summer palace in Chile, so the story goes, the Prince of Wales arose daily at noon, sauntered into the open garden attired only in eyes, nonchalantly went through his daily dozen, Somehow this news shocking as it may appear to some, is refreshing. It 1s refreshing in the same way the news is that the king of Belgium dunks his toast in coffee at breakfast. Stories like these help dispel the illusion that world figures move about in an atmosphere of stiff dignity and stateliness, They show, rather, that they 90 | Fe human. It is not difficult to understand why the finger of scorn has often been pointed at figures in public life for manners unbecoming to their station. The demands made upon them are most exacting. Few realize the strain required to show at all times in public the proper Poise, attention, decorum. It must be indeed @ great relief when the tension is relieved. Science vs. History Ambitious biographers, by their relentless researches, are not the only ones bent on exposing the unreliability of traditions we have come to associate with the makers of American history. Science, it now appears, lends a helping hand. At the University of Wisconsin the other day, Dr. J. H. Mathews, an expert in ballistics, announced that Danicl Boone, that hardy pioneer whose hair-raising exploits among the Indians thrilled us as youths, was really @ terrible shot. The smooth-bore guns they had in those days, the professor contends, weren't at all conducive to accurate shooting. So Dan’l couldn't possibly have done all those things attributed to him by the writers. Thus another tradition bites the dust. If we must concede that this colorful Indian fighter was a bum shot, most of us will rightfully continue to regard him as a good scout. That is, unless additional research reveals something to the contrary! . When Men Compete With Boys Boys in White Plains, N. Y., who used to spend their summers pleasantly and profitably caddying on the golf courses, are probably the glummest lot of juveniles to; be found in the earth's four corners. It’s all because the, unemployment bureau there has decided to give all caddying jobs to unemployed men. However cruel this may seem to youngsters denied of their job, the scheme is undoubtedly an ingenious one, and one which deserves universal applause. In times past men have competed with boys in selling newspapers, blacking boots and carrying telegraph mes- sages. Now exigencies have caused them to encroach on their domain on the links. It may not be a permanent arrangement but it is cer- tainly more important for men to earn a living than it) is for boys to earn pocket money, and the latter should unselfishly view it in this light. 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. Politics Under the Constitution (Kansas City Star) The Temps, Paris newspaper, says no government could have prevented the economic depression in the United’ States, and confesses an utter inability to un- derstand why Mr. Hoover and the administration should have been severely criticized in that connection by cer- tain members of political organizations. In this country there is not much uncertainty on that question. The constitution of the United States calls for a presidential election every four years. Nature Slays More Game Than Man (American Game) Recent investigations to discover why game birds are | decreasing in spite of protective laws and restorative measures reveal a terrific gauntlet of death in modern. nature beside which the sportsman’s gun is but a puny peril. They emphasize the urgency of an immediate new trend in conservation work. Gardiner Bump. heading an incomplete survey of the ruffed grouse situation in New York state, has reported that out of 14 nests observed eight were broken up before the eggs hatched. Of the 50 chicks leaving the nests only 24 survived the inroads of natural enemies two months later, and these faced a winter shortage of food and probable helplessness against predators. A partial study of breeding grounds in Montana, fre- quented by wild ducks and some pheasants and Hun- garian partridges, disclosed almost total mortality among the eggs and young because of predatory animals, A summary of the investigation by the quail fellow- ship of the University of Wisconsin into the dangers all coveys observed except the few that were able to find corn for sustenance. Apparently in no two sections are the same predators found to be the worst evil. Hawks and owls destructive: in one field are discovered to be benefactors in another because of their preying upon worse predators. This presents a situation which sportsmen-conserva- tionists can not fight alone. Since each territory presents @ different problem, it is obvious that every farmer and landowner must be given some definite incentive to join @ pair of vivid blue pajamas and, oblivious to staring Sulphur-and-Molasses Time!

Address The Bismarck Tribune Information Bu- reau, Frederic J. Haskin, Director, Washington, D. C. Q. Who announced the Vatican program in New York for NBC? A. Li A. Alois Havrilla announced the New York end of the Vatican pro- gram. Q. Who is the wealthiest negro in the United States? M. M. A. Edward H. Morris, a Chicago gttorney, is believed to be the wealth- iest. He is supposed to have a fortune approximating $3,000,000. Q. What are the names of the new national forests recently created in Michigan? G. M. A. They are to be called Hiawatha, Ottawa, and Marquette. Q. What is a patent medicine? J. Ss. P. A. A patent medicine is a medi- cinal formula on which a patent has been secured. It is very difficult to secure a patent on such a formula. It is necessary to show invention to be present and that the medicine rep- resents something other than a doc- tor’s prescription. Q. Was the sofa known as a dav- enport named for its inventor? A. M. M. A. The davenport (couch) is 8 comparatively modern piece of furni- ture, and was.not named for the in- ventor, Davenport. The davenport which is named after the inventor is a style of writing desk, small, gener- ally ornamented, and intended for a boudoir. Q. Who wrote Sheridan’s Ride? faced by wintering quail revealed an appalling loss among|M. M. A. The poem was written by T. Buchanan Reed. General Philip Henry Sheridan’s famous ride through Winchester, his enthusiastic reception at the hands of his troops, his re- markable success in turning a disas- trous rout into a brilliant victory, formed a dramatic episode of the Civil War. Q. When should the word, cheeses, be used as the plural of cheese? H. J. A. It is used when more than one cheese as an object is spoken of. The plural “cheese” is used when cheese is considered a collective commodity. Q@ Are Russians particularly fond of music? R. B, A. In Russia music has always been closely connected with the lives . |Of the people. From the time of birth through all the events of life until death claims them, they move to a musical accompaniment. The return of spring is celebrated by a sort of choral dance, termed the khorovod; marriage, being a most important time, brings forth many songs, such as “The Birchwood Splinter” (‘Loot- china”), “Glorification,” “The Match- maker” (“Svat oushka”). There are ‘boating songs, laboring songs, ‘ulla- \bies, and dance songs. Most of the dance tunes are in the inajor mode, the slow tunes, and these are best liked in the minor. Cesar Cui, in his }book La Musique en Russie, divided the Russian composers into three groups: First, the old lyric school, Glinka Darkomizsky and Serofi; sec- ond, the New-Russians, Rimsky-Kor- sakoff, Mussorgsky, Borodin, and lastly Rubenstein and Tschaikowsky, in a class by themselves as being less distinctively national, Q What were the cells used for in the basement of the old Caryle House in Alexandria, Virginia? A. L. L. A. John Carlyle erected this man- sion on the site of an old fort, built as a protection from the Indians. The cells were used when Indians were kept in the fort as prisoners, canism, denoting words that are orig- inally American in derivation or use? TN. A. It is attributed to Dr. Wither- spoon, President of Princeton, about 150 years ago, Q. How big a trunk did the Char- ter Oak have? J.D. K, A. Charter Oak was nearly 7 feet in diameter. It was in Hartford, Conn., and blew down in a storm on August 21, 1856. Its age was com- puted to be nearly 1,000 years. A sec- tion of the trunk has been preserved in the rooms of the Connecticut His- tocial Socigty; the remainder was kept or sold for small souvenirs. In a hollow of this tree was concealed the Q. Who coined the word, Ameri-|% Charter of Connecticut, rescued from Sea in 1687, according to tradi- ion. Q. What is the term for couplets of words that are closely connected through use, such as bread and but- ter? P.C. A. They are nouns, called correlative Q. How fast does the average pas- senger ship travel? B. L. A. The average rate of speed of a Passenger steamship is between 15 and 16 knots per hour. The speed of one knot is the speed of one nautical mile, 6080.27 feet an hour. Today Is the Anniversary of FIRST TELEPHONE SPEECH On March 10, 1876, Alexander Gra- {ham Bell, inventor of the telephone, sent the first complete sentence over the telephone. It was an order sum- moning an assistant in another room: “Mr. Watson, come here; I want you.” Bell's earliest efforts were devoted to the perfection of'a “harmonic tele- graph” with which he hoped to send several telegraphic messages simul- taneously over a single wire. At the same time he also tried to transmit speech electrically. On June 2, 1875, he succeeded in transmitting by wire the sound of a twinging clock spring. Others had predicted the possibil- ity of transmitting speech by wire but had not hit upon the only prac- ticable method. Bell's original sys- tem used a device similar to the mod- ern receiver, both for sending and re- ceiving. The transmitter of today, which has been developed by many scien- tists, is much more delicate and sat- isfactory. At present the telephone consists essentially of a transmitter, an induction coil, and a receiver, con- nected by copper wires and supplied with a source of direct current.

(Napoleon Homestead) n a recent radio address, President Sloan of Gen- eral Motors, in speaking of the organization he represents, said that we are limited only by our own viewpoints. In this he stated a truth so self-evident that it is often neglected in plans for development. That progress in all lines of endeavor is limited only by one’s point of view just about tells the complete story of failure and success, The poirit of view of the founders of the United States of America was practically unlimited. This viewpoint 1s clearly to be seen in the Constitution and other great documents of state prepared during the formative period of the republic. Also in industrial progress the American} viewpoint has been broad. The viewpdint in education has been of wide scope. In religion the viewpoint has. been broad because it has been immeasurably tolerant and sympathetic. In many other fields of activity there has been advancement in just ratio to the breadth of view. With a world full of material things, with inventions and discoveries piling themselves one upon the other, there can be no doubt of an infinite variety of accom- plishments in the future that will bring more comfort and greater convenience to mankind. All we have to do is keep our viewpoint or our scope of vision broad and wide and we will come into the full realization of a richer life. Our community life needs a little broadening, or at) least a little greater appreciation of our possibilities, Living in a world of education and enlightenment, of material advancement, of resources and opportunities unparalleled by any other section of the earth, our com~- munity will grow and prosper only in proportion to our point of view. If this is true of an automobile corpora- tion it is true of a community. It is true that leaders with vision elther become mar- tyré to their cause and perish, or they emerge trium- phant and continue as leaders toward a definite goal of accomplishment. Their destiny is dependent upon rer ara sok tne Tread of vinleg and tbe understanding of their followers and con- OUT OUR WAY \F THEY WE WERE LOST, ABSOLUTELY’ LOST, AND DIDNT Kuow WHICH WAY TO “TORN ~ WELL ,SIR.

Of course the mucous membranes of the intestines throw off mucus the same as any other mucous mem- branes but when the intestines are irritated more than usual by toxic material they try to protect them- selves against the irritation by pour- ing out excess quantities of mucus and this is what is seen in the stools. In some cases the mucus is in long shreds and the movement may consist of nothing else; in others this is blood stained and in most cases the mucus is mixed in with the bowel) movement. The mucus may be in the shape of @ round tube but it is more likely to be in strings of slimy mate- rial which, like gelatin, are hard to hold between the fingers. The patient sees the strips of mucus and is worried about them but of course, he does not see the real trouble, which is an inflamed condi- tion of the intestines. In fact, the word colitis means inflammation of the colon. The colon may become so irritated that it is tender, congested, Slightly swollen, and the movements are watery. Some of the common causes of colitis are: any condition causing a Jong continued irritation, such as kinks in the bowel, constipation, toxic material due to wrong food, large numbers of harmful intestinal bac- teria, intestinal parasites, interference with the normal nerve tone of the in- testine, or lack. of exercise which Produces a general weakness with Poor circulation and a general lack of muscular tone through the whole alimentary canal. Some of the common symptoms of colitis are: mucus in the stools, colicky pains through the abdomen which come and go according to the amount of fecal matter which presses on the tender, inflamed spots in the colon; frequent, watery bowel movements, as many as eight or ten a day in some patients; a stabbing pain when the bowels move; either constipation or diarrhea; and in some cases, fever. As with other digestive disturbances, © | there is nausea, perhaps vomiting and undernourishment. Colitis is easily mistaken for ap- pendicitis or for inflammation of the ovaries. In many cases the irritation of the colon by poisoris and its dis- CAL: tension by gas cause distress which is thought due to some other disease. Colitis is not a disease which causes death. However, it is a very annoy- Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and diet addressed to him, care of The Tribune.

(Continued tomorrow) QUESTIONS and ANSWERS (Vegetarianism) Question: W. S. writes: “I have been a vegetarian for a number of years. What could I substitute for the meats given in your menus in order to follow them out as given in our paper every week?” Answer: If you are a strict vege- tarian, about the only thing you could substitute for the meat would be nuts. If you are a lacto-vegetarian you could also substitute cheese. Most vegetarians need to use a large amount of wholewheat products in order to get enough protein. But the buckwheat grain or bread cannot al- ways be substituted for meat, and the combinations at the meals need to be changed somewhat. For instance, no dessert should be used with a meal if wholewheat bread is used, and no other starch used at the same meal, as the wholewheat is a combination of starch and protein and already more difficult to digest than meat. If you will write to me again, enclos- ing @ large stamped envelope, I will work out a menu for you according to your needs. (Muscles Twitch) Question: N. C. J. writes: “Please tell me through your column why the facial muscles about and below my left eye twitch disagreeably every now and then. I am a man of fifty- four.” Answer: Your trouble is due to a depleted nervous system and appears only in the muscles below your left eye simply because there is some in- terference with the nerve going to that section. Besides adopting a gen- eral hygienic regime for nervousness you might receive help for your trouble by having a few osteopathic or chiropractic treatments to the muscles and nerves of your neck. will be interesting to observe which will make the longest run. ee * ‘You don’t catch anybody dodging when eggs hit a new low. * * * Dorthoy wants to know the howl of what animal Peruvian bark is.
