CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON Bismarck’s Automobile Show Announcement is made in this edition of Bismarck’s ‘annual automobile show to be held in the Community building, Owing to lack of proper quarters, this city has been handicapped in previous showings of new motor cars. Adequate space now has been afforded and in- dications point to a very successful exhibition. Two days will be devoted to a most interesting display f cars and accessories. Attractive booths will line the walls of the building. It will be a show deserving of the heartiest support of the public. Considerable progress has been made in design and mechanism of the various types of cars and a trip to the Bismarck show’ will repay any one interested in automobiles. One has but to contrast the models of a few years ago with those of today to realize the great strides automotive engineers have made. The medium priced cars today compare most favorably with the de luxe models. Features a few years ago found only in very expensive machines are the routine equip- ment of the cars which meet the general demand for fast and economical transportation. “One lungers” once were the only type of car that ‘was available to the great field of buyers, but today the sixes and the “eight-in-line” are common types within the reach of most Americans. That is the great stride which the industry has made. The dollar today buys a lot more in the automotive market than it used to. A trip to the automobile show will convince anyone of that. Buyers today ask for more than mere transportation. ‘They want ease and luxury of travel and they are get- ting it at a greatly reduced cost. Smoothness, quiet performance, low fuel consumption are some of the fundamental advantages of the automobile of today. The designers have long since learned that a car has got to do more than “just get over the ground.” It is a battle now between the “sixes” and the “eights.” When the engineers perfected the “fours” the first real step toward motor transportation had been made, The motor vehicle retail business in the United States has made tremendous strides. Its value to the commun- ity is too often underestimated. It yields vast pay rolls, attracts many visitors to the city and renders a) real service to us all. Here area few figures which will help visualize the magnitude of the motor field. There are more than 50,000 truck dealers in the United States, @ like number of public garages. Service stations and repair shops exceed 100,000, supply stores 80,000 and gasoline filling stations 350,000. This nation has de- veloped the motor vehicle business more than any other country. Bismarck's automobile show will reflect the greatness of the industry. The exhibits will show the forward-look- ing attitude of the big men behind this business. Prob- ably at no time in the history of the industry could so fine a car be purchased at so low a price as at present. i ‘That it will be a credit to Bismarck and its progres- sive automotive dealers goes without saying. Because it will be the first of the annual motor shows to be held! in the new World War Memorial building, it will be notable, but the manner of its presentation and the! faith and confidence of the men behind it will make it notable also. Only those having faith in the future of their busi- ness and in the future of the area in which they live! would go to the trouble and expense of creating such an exhibition as that which will be offered to residents of the Missouri Slope area. There are few things more powerful than pride in one’s achievements and optimism for the future. They are the guiding lights of American business, and it is pleasant to know that Bismarck automobile dealers, local representatives of one of the largest industries in America, have chosen to follow this leadership in prefer- ence to the leadership of gloom and darkness. Attendance at the automobile show will add to the knowledge of every citizen of Bismarck and the Missouri Slope country. The essence of the spirit of America has been incorporated in the beauty, sturdiness and reliability of the modern motor car, All of us could do worse than to get a breath of it, Democrats Maneuvering : If the Washington correspondents know their po- fitics, there is far from agreement upon Gov. Roose- velt of New York as the next national standard bearer of the Democratic party. His followers are reported as being displeased over the maneuvers of John J. Raskob, who is credited with being more anxious to bring about repeal of prohibition than anything else, and claims he is wrecking party harmony as @ result. Raskob is thought to favor Owen D. Young as against the governor of New York and his moves are construed as being hostile to the presidential aspira- ations of Franklin D. Roosevelt. His second choice would be Al Smith declare the political soothsayers. Supporters of Roosevelt desire to soft-pedal the prohi- bition issue and, hoping to attract support of the progres- sives of the nation, advance more vital economic issues, 790! of the argument and leave the Democrats to fight out! this cannot be told, but it is apparent that Roosevelt is getting more support from southern Democrats than the Raskob-Smith combine. They believe he is much more acceptable than a Smith or a Young. Whether Smith is a receptive candidate or not is merely speculative. He won't come out for Roosevelt now. Some party strategists declare he is merely conserving his political strength to throw it where it will do the most good when the time arrives. As yet he is not re- leasing his friends and still remains the titular head of the Democratic party. Cannot Ignore the Issue It appears that neither the Republicans nor the Demo- crats can ignore the liquor issue when they assemble next year in their national conventions. At'this writing it seems that the Republicans will espouse the dry end the adoption or rejection of the wet issue. There is a much stronger element within the ranks of Democracy to favor staking political fortune on the wet issue than as the next Republican nominee. Even his insurgent | enemies, such as La Follette and others, are predicting his nomination. Hoover's dry tendencies are known and {t is inconceivable that he will run on any platform which | is not definitely for a continuation of the “noble ex- periment.” ‘The squabble at Washington recently between the wet and the dry Democrats predicts @ lively contest between the followers of Smith and Raskob and those of Senators { Robinson and Morrison. Nomination of a dry by the! Democrats and of Hoover by the Republicans would, to @ great extent, take the liquor issue out of the next} campaign. At any rate such an alignment would put | the ardent wets out on a limb. { But the issue cannot be ignored by either party and the conventions of both parties will be enlivened by de- bates on the subject. ° The Democrats who favor the wet side of the argu-| ment seek to have the states regulate the liquor busi- ness, Chairman Raskob of the Democratic national! committee suggested this solution seeking to appease! the southern Democrats who are strong state rights advocates, but his suggestion did not meet with the anticipated approval. Instead it started an old-fashioned row within the ranks of his own party. It is going to be very difficult to find any common grounds upon which either Republicans or Democrats can agree where the liquor issue is concerned. There seems to be no beg- ging this issue. One has to be either militantly wet or conservatively dry. Party leaders are finding out that, on this issue at least, it is becoming harder and harder to hedge or dodge. 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 Innocent Victim (Washington Star) The suicide of any child is tragic, but there are elements which enter into the death of the sixteen- year-old daughter of Vivian Gordon that wring the heart. She was sd clearly the innocent victim, and she was so much alone. When she was nine years old her father and mother were divorced. The thoughtful at- tention of kind relatives could not make up for a loss which, despite anything they could do, set her apart from other children. And at the age of sixteen, that most impressionable of ages, she found herself the daugh- ter of a woman sensationally murdered, and the investi- gation of the murder led to sordid and dirty revelations that were flaunted to the world. When she went on the street children pointed. Some of them laughed, for children can be most cruel. And what the children and the neighbors did not do were done a thousand times over in her own brooding imagin- ation. The big, busy world outside her own room had stopped to point her out, to sneer and stare. So she retreated, as any one would want to retreat, along the only road that offered her shelter. One can only hope that she has found it. She was never to blame. Are we, whom she left? The Farm Board So Far (Christian Science Monitor) On July 15, 1929, the federal farm board was consti- tuted with the-broad objective of placing American agri- culture on a basis of equality with other industries. The world has been watching the experiment with unabated interest. Naturally, the immensity of the problem, which besets all modern states, precluded any quick solution. And the first year was unpropitious for any experiment in price-fixing, for the board came into existence on the eve of a world-wide decline in prices which had a momentum immeasurably stronger than any counter- acting effort it could muster. But the board has a distinct achievement to its credit in the impetus it has given to farmer organization. Agri- culture is the last refuge of individualism in a world of increasing collectivism. Not only is this a great handi- cap, but, having a world market, most farm products are subject to world prices, which are at the mercy of all manner of circumstances. . Moreover, the time-lag between planting and marketing besets the farmer with risk and speculation. For these reasons organization offers the best insur- ance of a fair monetary return for agriculture. Accord- ingly, the constructive activities of the board have cen- tered in building up cooperative marketing associations. For that work it is entitled to much credit. ‘The farm board has constantly advised the reduction of acreage so as to reduce the possibility of surpluses which drag down prices. In the meantime it has elected to tackle the price problem created by these surpluses. Subsidiary to the organization of cooperatives, the end sought by congress, in the interpretation of the board, is to moderate or eliminate “undue and excessive” fluctua- tions in prices. In other words, the board should act toward agriculture as the federal reserve system acts toward the money market—as a cushion for the shocks of exists in the Republican party. | ‘Unless conditions change materially, Hoover looms up | eee : Take advantage of this free service. have patronized the bureau, write us again.

There are also about 90 fur farmers raising foxes, mink and marten in pens. Q. When was the pneumatic tire invented?—H. K, A. In 1888 the pneumatic tire was invented by Dunlop, and at once came into universal use on the bicycle. In England and on the continent an automobile casing, containing an in- ner inflated tube, was attached to the wheel rim; while in America a single tube cemented to the rim was more generally used, and to this day holds its place on the bicycle. With the ad- ent of the automobile a new field If you are one of the thousands who | ber tire. | Troning Things Out! ‘was opened for the pneumatic rub- r Q. Why is the $2.50 gold piece no longer made?—S. W. L. A. By act of congress passed April 11, 1930, the $2.50 gold piece wes dis- continued.

Q. Please explain the term, horse latitude—J. H. A. Horse latitude is the name given to the belt of calms in the North At- lantic ocean between the region of westerly winds of the higher lati- tudes and the region of trade winds of the torrid zone. Authorities differ in regard to the origin of the name, some,claiming that it was derived from the fact that vessels with a cargo of horses were often so delayed on account of the calms that the ani- mals perished from lack of water, Q. Is it easier to teach a male or a female parrot to talk?—J. S. A. The male patrot usually re- sponds to teaching better than the female. Q. Is Franklyn Bauer broadcasting at present?—R. L. C. A.

A partial eclipse of the sun October #1, 1931, will be visible generally in South Africa, the South Atlantic ocean, and central and southern South America. A_ total eclipse of the sun visible in the United States will occur August 31, 1932. The path of totality crosses the northeast- ern parts of Vermont and New Hamp- shire, the southwestern part of Maine, and the extreme northeastern part of Massachusetts. Q.

Today Is the Anniversary of SUN YAT-SEN’S BIRTH On March 12, 1867, Sun Yat-sen, Chinese revolutionary leader, known as the Father of the Chinese Re- public, was boyn of native Christian parentage in the Kwantung province. Following his course at the new medical school in Hongkong, of which jhe was the first graduate, Sun de- voted himself to secret activities aim- ing to overthrow the Chinese mon- archy, His personal influence had much to do with the inner organiza- tion of the 1911 revolution against the Manchu government. Sun was in England when the rev- olution began. He returned to China, and on Jan, 5, 1912, took the vath of office as provisional president of the new republic, at the request of the national convention at Nanking. He resigned the next year, but wheh the president who succeeded him died, Sun put himself at the head of a movement for an independent re- public of South China. He died of cancer at Peking. > —e—— | Quotations i We are having prosperity now.— Henry Ford. xR ORK, Luck is ever waiting for something to turn up.

For this purpose it was endowed with a revolving fund of $500,000,000, It has used all but $100,000,000. ‘The cushioning of the shock of falling prices by loans to farmers on wheat was supplemented by the entrance into the market of the Grain Stabilization Corporation, which, together with the cooperatives sffillated with it, held control at the end of the first year of a quantity of wheat equal to approximately one-half of the visible supply. On June 30 it owned over 60,000,000 bustiels of wheat and futures, and today holds more than 120,000,000 bushels, acquired at substantially higher prices than prevail at present. i ‘As in wheat, so in cotton, and with the same results.

One of the most indigestible dishes ‘on the modern table is fried eggplant, which is liter-. ally soaked in grease and thus ren- dered unfit for food. Eggplant is really a very whole- some vegetable if it is properly pre- pared. It is very highly prized in the ‘South but it is not as popular else- | Where as it deserves to be. | Eggplant does not get its name be- jcause it is usually dipped in egg or | has the taste or food value of the egg, | but solely on account of its egg shape. {Another name for the egg plant is the Guinea squash, It grows ona small bush which is botanically re- | lated to the potato family, | Although the egg plant looks very solid it contains more water than milk, for it is 93 per cent water. It is rich in ‘organic salts, its principal value being the large amount of po- | tassium. The egg plant should be prepared by either boiling in plain water, steaming, or, baking in the oven. Probably the simplest way of cooking egg plant is to first peel it and cut it into small pieces, cooking in just enough water to cover. It may then be served seasoned with butter and cream. If it is cut in two it can be baked readily in the oven or small ones may be baked whole and the fleshy part removed afterwards with ‘a spoon. Here area few recipes which you may find interesting: Stuffed Egg Plant Cook the egg plant for about 15 minutes in enough boiling salted wa- ter to cover. Cut a slice from the top, and with a spoon remove the pulp, leaving about a half inch of the flesh close to the skin. Chop the pulp fine- ly, add chopped ham, a small amount of Melba toast crumbs and a small amount of tomato pulp. Mix well, add a little chopped parsley and but- ter on top. Place in the shells bake for 25 minutes. Corn and Egg Plant ‘To the contents of one can of corn add a small chopped egg plant ang ‘one well beaten.egg.

H. writes: “I would like to know the difference between arterial hardening and arterial ten- sion. One doctor told meI had hardening o {the arteries, another, hyper-tension of the arteries. Going through a clinic, they told me I had slight hyper-tension, but most of my trouble was caused from nervousness. They could find no other cause for high blood pressure. My worst trou~ ble at present seems an awful blue, depressed feeling, with sensations of numbness and tightness in the head.” Answer: High blood pressure may be caused by the arteries hardening, with a deposit of calcium, or they re- main ‘too contracted simply because of a toxic state of the blood, where the calcium does not form. In either case, the cure depends upon living on a diet excluding all starches and su- gars for a long period of time. Desserts Question: F. D. asks: “What des- serts would combine with a meal of one starch and several green vege- tables, cooked and raw?” Answer: There are practically no desserts which combine well with starchy foods, Use gelatin and fruit desserts only with a protein meal, where no starch is used. Measles Question: S, A. V. asks: “How long should a child just recovering from and | measles be kept in a dark room to prevent injury to the eyes?” Answer: The child should be un- der the care of a physician and his judgment depended upon about the darkened room. It is generally a good plan not to keep the room colnpletely dark all day, but to let a moderate amount of light in every few hours so that if the eyes are affected the change of light will exercise them ee to prevent adhesions form- ra o-—_—___________§_. AT THE MOVIES | | ° PARAMOUNT THEATRE The indefinable charm and joyous- ness of Vienna, the ancient and gla- morous capital, is caught and pre- served in “Viennese Nights,” the Warner Brothers screen ‘romance which opened today at the Para- mount Theatre, For some reason gaiety seems to have been a little more natural there than elsewhere, youth a little more carefree, music a bit more tender. Songs sing themselyes more easily in such an atmosphere and young love dares more in its kindly environs. “Viennese Nights” is famous alike for its glorious musical setting, the color photography that adds so great- ly to the beauty of the production and the featured cast that includes Walter Pidgeon, Vivienne Segal, Alex- ander Gray, Jean Hersholt, Bert Roach, June Pursell, Alice Day, Lotti Loder and numerous others.
