THE music hunger for the in the country at large there is a most part unsatisfied.” It is true that millions of people who were denied good music @ few years ago can now have it in abundant sup- ply through the phonograph and the radio; but that stili leaves.the American child in the audience and not on the performer's stand—a listener and not a learner. To learn the fundamentals of music still requires the patient toil and radiant soul of the teacher and crafts- man. 7 i BISMARCK TRIBUNE An Independent Newspaper THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Published by The Bismarck Tribune Conipany, Bis- marck, N.

Subscription Rates Payable in Advance Opens Straw Vote Season Straw votes have always been popular and interesting to follow even though they have been wrong as often as right. Newspapers and periodicals expend large sums in trying to feel the public pulse through polls of various: kinds Probably the most outstanding polls ever taken) ‘09 | 19 the history of the nation were those canducted by the Literary Digest on the wet and dry issue and another which indicated far in advance of the November elections the triumph of Herbert Hoover. Now Joseph Isidor Straus, a New York Democrat and prominent merchant, recently mailed a questionnaire to) the delegates and alternates of the 1928 Democratic na- tional convention asking them to state their preference. for presidential candidates. The results show that Gov. Roosevelt is far in the lead. Next came Al Smith, then Owen D. Young, Gov. Ritchie of Maryland and Sen. Robinson of Arkansas in order.

It must be generally admitted now that Gov. * Roosevelt is the outstanding Democratic presidéntial Looking Ahead possibility, but political eddies and currents change s0 Because men do most of the public work of the world they sometimes forget the importance of women as @: Class. There are a number of reasons for this, chief among ‘which is the fact that women, from time immemorial, have chosen to be considered as individuals and have mlways preferred to place their relationships upon a per- Bonal basis. « Philosophers assert that men can rise to greater heights jand sink to greater depths than women because of the varied experiences and traits which have been handed down to them by their ancestors. The same theory presents womankind as the balance wheel of civilization, expressing timidity, perhaps, at the bolder exploits of, their menfolk but spurring them onward and inspiring them with courage when they are in the depths. Cer- tainly, regardless of those who would draw a sharp dividing line between the character, accomplishments and achievements of men and women, it is an indisputable fact that only by promoting the interests of both sexes can our civiliaztion maintain its true proportion. Because of this fact, it is pleasant to note the advance which has been made by the women and organizations interested in developing girls clubs in Bismarck. We long have had a Boy Scout organization which has done ® great deal of good and will do more, but the menfolk of Bismarck—menlike—forgot the girls. It ds pleasant to see that the women did not and that their interest in the future of Bismarck’s girlhood is sufficiently strong to spur them into action. Just as rapidly that Roosevelt a few months hence may not be as strong as he is today. The Better Homes Campaign One hundred and forty-one North Dakota communities have enlisted in the 1931 Better Homes campaign, which will close with the observance of Better Homes week, April 26 to May 2. This is a gain of 10 over last year when 131 communities participated. This is a national organization with a nation-wide program. The North Dakota committee is headed by Miss Grace DeLong, with Governor George F. Shafer as honorary chairman. Its membership includes many: of the ablest men and, women of the state, who have assisted in shaping the campaign to fit the needs of North Dakota. The work in North Dakota will include a study of well arranged homes and yards, planting of trees and the annual spring paint-up and clean-up campaign. The promoters hope eventually to find a ready welcome’ for this organisation in every community. They are entitled to the support of every citizen who desires to see North Dakota add to its already notable display of attractive homes and gardens. | PE eee eee remembered his threat.

America’s Great Oil Industry It has been estimated that $12,000,000,000—(twelve thousand times one billion dollars)—is tied up in the oil business in the United States. This enormous industry includes production of crude oil, transportation by tank cars, pipe lines and steamers, refining and sale through bulk and service stations. Eighty per cent of this great business is owned and controlled by 20 companies, 10 of which are of the Stan- dard Oil group. The 10 independent companies are Dutch-Shell, Gulf, Cities Service, Pure Oil, Texas, Union Editorial Comment Eéitorlals printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

Many of the eye troubles of Childhood can be outgrown or stopped from growing worse if the child’s eyes are cared for in time. Children who have flat feet should be fitted with the correct shoes for helping the arches to grow stronger. The child should also begin to ‘take the special exercises every morning and night which will help the feet to improve. If the child has ringworm, scabies, fungi, or sorne other infection which he has picked up at school, this is an excellent time for starting treatment to clear it up. fj Children who are round shouldered may begin on some easy exercises for correcting the spine before the curva- ture becomes more pronounced.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Subnormal Temperature Question: H. F. B, asks: “What causes a subnormal temperature of from one to two degrees? It runs from two degrees in the morning to one degree below in the afternoon. My blood pressuse is low and I am cold all the time. What would be the cause of this con@ition?” Answer: .A subnormal temperature, with a low bldod pressure, shows that you are greatly enervated and re- quiré a very definite course in phy- sical culture to bring your strength back to normal, besides regulating your diet carefully. The one thought for you to keep in mind and to prac- tice most is to increase your exercises each day, both by taking calistheni exercises and by long walks. , Todine you do not know of some good exer- cises to use send a two cent stamp and a large self-addressed envelope for my articles called “How Spinal Weakness Affects Your Health,” and “A Strong Spine.” ‘This Easter vacation is a chance to let the children get a good dose of Question: D. A. asks: “Will you Please tell me what foods, if any, contain iodine?” Answer: The following foods con- tain the largest amount of iodine: Asparagus, pineapple, cabbage, kelp, kidney beans, mushrooms, carrots, strawberries, shrimp and other shell- sunshine and fresh air.

It is a good plan to arrange a little extra sleeping time during this week. Nothing rebuilds the body like sleep. Either lét the child sleep as long as he wishes in the morning, or put him to bed a little earlier at night, or al- low a short rest time after lunch. Also be sure that the child has a good tooth brush. Brushes should be changed often and kept clean. When buying the new Easter clothes, include @ good new toothbrush. Lump In Neck Question: G. G. writes: “I have a lump on the right side of my neck about the size of a pecan that has been there for over four years. Has never bothered me, but it worries me. It is movable. Would like to know what caused it.” Answer: The lump is probably a fatty tumor and will cause no harm. If it does not increase in size or pain you in any way, I would advise you to leave it alone. However, the oper- ation for removing this kind of tumor is a very simple one and not attend- ed by very much danger. DECLARATION OF WAR On April 6, 1917, the House of Rep- resentatives passed a resolution, which the Senate had passed two days before, declaring war against Ger- many, The vote in the Senate had been 82 to 6. The vote in the house was 373 to 50. The joint resolution was signed by Thomas R. Marshall, vice president: Champ Olark, speaker of the house, and approved by President Wilson, on this date.
