Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON RE tet eee nen The Rising Tide Contrary to the expectations and fears of many citi- ens throughout the nation, Big Bill Thompson's lariat- twisting tactics failed in the Chicago election, and Anton Cermak, once an immigrant boy and coal miner, will be the World's Fair Mayor of the nation’s second city. Cermak campaigned with a broom, promising, among ther things, to sweep the city clean of gangsterism and corruption and, whether or not the people of Chicago be- lieved him, they gave him their support. For the first time in many years, therefore, Chicago has gone Demo- cratic and Cermak will sit in the chair once occupied by Carter H. Harrison and later by William E. Dever, the fast Democrat to hold the mayoralty in the Windy City. There were issues other than those which we can recognize at this distance, of course. The record and the character of each aspirant as well as the nature and character of the supporting organizations played a part, fas they do in every big-city election. But through and above all other issues there comes the dominant note bf opposition to the powers that be. ‘The nation seems to have been struck by a wave of “anti-ism,” first apparent in the congressional elections Jast fall and now repeated in the spring. In Chicago, as elsewhere, there seems to be general dissatisfaction with) things as they are and men running on their records must offer clear evidence of their ability if they are to breast the tide. There js no doubt as to Thompson's vigorous personality and'the color which he can inject {nto a political campaign, but his record was one which discouraged friends of honest government and cleanli- ness in political office: To all who will be candidates for reelection within the next year or so there may be a warning in the results of the Chicago election. The Democratic trend, begun in the fall, is continued here. Men in high places as well as low'may well take heed. The Chicago results are emphasized in smaller linois cities, Quincy having elected its first Democrat in many, years. ‘ Unless the ebb tide of this movement comes before November, 1932, there is more than a possibility that a Democrat soon may sit in the president's chair. xe Cermak’s victory declaration that he will make the great city by the lake safe for women and children as well as for visitors and serving notice on the crooks and; gangsters that they must get out or go to jail, will win the applause of the country. Because of its importance and the untoward things; which have occurred there in the way of gang rivalries ‘and massacres, Chicago has been centered in the public eye for many months. Many citizens have been unable to understand how it is that such things could go in a great city and the answer will not be clear unt% Cermak | makes ‘good upon his promises, given in the flush of vic-| tory. That he will have the best wishes of the honest folk of the nation goes without saying. It will be a relief for all of us when Chicago's troubles vanish from| the newspapers and the Windy City again becomes a/ well-ordered community. Those of us who go to the world's fair there in 1933 will want to feel that we can do so safely. Will Cure Its Own Ills Charles M. Schwab, steel magnate and one of the na- tion’s great industrial giants, believes science and the machine age, often blamed for unemployment, will cure its own ills. He believes it will create more jobs, reduce laborious toil and ultimately will solve the age-old prob- Jem of want and unemployment. Writing in the Rotarian magazine for April, he asserts that slavery was fundamentally a labor problem, and it was mechanical power developed by science that made it obsolete. Similarly, modern enslavement of the’ work- ‘er to long hours, low pay and heavy toil will disappear as science develops the possibilities of electrical and mechanical power. “No one,” he declares, “has benefited more from our Jaboratories than the common lakorer .... Cranes and other automatic devices have replaced heavy lifting by human power. Ventilating and blower systems have mitigated the intense heat. Ample lighting and safety evices have made for healthier and safer working con- ditions. Industrial accidents have declined steadily in the past decade «< +,” « ‘Wages have more than doubled within the memory of people living, Schwab asserts, and still are at levels con- siderably ahead of the increased cost of living. He cites automobiles and electric lights as two notable “luxuries” that science, aided by large-scale production, has put! within the price range of the worker. | “Looking to the future,” he continues, “I see in the/ further acceleration of “sclénce éontinuous jobs for our workets. Science will cure unemployment. New indu-| stries will arise from our laboratories. That is the basis) of progress. x “Most of our most active businesses of the present time are the results of recént invehtions. Electrification, cel- lulose products and new developments in the oil refinery field are examples: Our industrial expansion will con- tinue as long as the scientists develop new processes and products thus creating new demands for employment.” Heroism Rewarded Bryan Untiedt of Lamar, Colorado, 1s golng to be 9, guest at the white house for a day and a night. He is the thirteen-year-old boy. whose heroism probably saved ‘the lives of seventeen of his schoolmates when the school ‘pus in which they were returning home became stalled when the driver went’ for hetp. and frost bitten children, Bryan In ten days, unaccompanied, Bryan will go to Washing- ton to meet President Hoover. He will travel alone and doubtless a boy who showed such rare presence of mind in the face of @ great emergency can easily take such & trip without a guardian. President Hoover in a most graceful manner expresses. the admiration of a nation for such boys as Bryan and there are many like him:in America. Congratulations To all successful candidates in the city election, with- out exception, The Tribune offers congratulations and best wishes on behalf of the entire community. Upon them will fall af least a part of the obligation of making Bismarck a clean, well-ordered city in which| commerce and industry may be promoted and encouraged; local government, are desirable, and in which the resi- dents of the community may take pride. But ‘they face a privilege and an opportunity as well as a duty. Under their guidance and with their help the city may grow to new heights, achieve new successes, win new friends. If they do as every citizen will want them to do, theirs. will be the pleasure of encouraging all that is good and beneficial for the city and discouraging all that is bad and harmful. And now that the election is over every citizen, regard- less of whether he supported the successful candidates, will wish them well. He will do so for his own sake and that of the city as well as for their own. Get Busy, Cupid Perhaps young people are less romantic than they used to be. Possibly it is harder to persuade a girl to give up her independence (and her pay check) to ecrub the floors and mend the socks for the “one and only man.” Or maybe young men are becoming very wary and more adept at dodging Dan Cupid's darts. It’s even probable that Cupid needs a bit of sharpshooting prec- tice. Certain it is, from one cause or another, things at, the marriage license bureau are in a bad way. How, we wish to ask, is a license clerk to earn an honest living, and what, indeed, are ministers to do, if this continues? For records at the county judge's office show only four marriage licenses issued during March, and one of these was secured by a couple who declared they were not going to use it for a while! This-reduces the total to a pitiful three, the smallest number which have been issued dur- ing any month for a great number of years. Seven licenses were issued during March, 1929, and 12 during the same period last year. Cupid had beiter get busy if he wants to keep up his reputation. Hens, Please Take Notice Senatorial dignity was put aside in Iowa recently when the upper branch of the legislature defined proper eggs. It is now suggested in Iowa that all eggs, to meet legislative requirements, conform to the following: “The eggs shall be clean and sound, with an air space of not more than an eighth of an inch in depth, with the yolk only dimly visible and the white firm and clear. “The eggs shall be uniform in size, with a minimum weight of twenty-five ounces @ dozen.” Editorial Comment Editorlals printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.’ They are published without regard to whether they agre disagree with The Tribe une's policies. Whose Attorney General? (New York World-Telegram) Attorney General Mitchell may be long on law, but he is short on good taste. He proposes to throw the depart- ment of justice into the Hoover-Senate court fight over the appointment of George Otis Smith as chairman of the federal power commission. The president refused to recognize the senate’s withdrawal of confirmation of Smith’s appointment. Mitchell is shrewd enough as a lawyer to admit that “the propriety of having another official of the depart- ment appear as attorney of record for the defendant is open to question.” He further admits that “there is also @ technical question as to the statutory authority of the attorney general to appear as attorney for a federal of- ficial in such litigation.” Having admitted that he is probably barred from the case both by propriety and by statute, it might be sup- posed that Mitchell would keep hands off. Instead he means to use department of justice lawyers to defend Smith in the “capacity of friends of the court.” In that capacity, he adds, “they will be in a position to, and intend to support the validity of the appoint- ment as vigorously as they know how.” Mitchell seems to forget that he is the sworn and paid attorney general of the United States—not the attorney- general of the president. Red Ink in Peace, but Black in War Time (Minneapolis Journal) It seems fair to conclude, from President Hoover's characterization of the Virgin island as “an effective poorhouse,” that this 25 million dollar purchase from Denmark should be charged off as another debit of the World war. But unlike those other debits—fleets of wooden ships, a lot of obsolescent and obsolete warships, and other perishable items—the Virgin islands may com- prise a credit of defense, to balance against the debit of peace time. They were a credit when we bought them— potentially, at least; or rather, they were a potential menace, as it was feared Germany might get them and make them a threat in the shape of a naval base in the Caribbean. How important the Virgin islands were and may be again, should be apparent to any student of the map who will look at it strategically in terms of war. They are a Panama Canal outpost now, these islands, perhaps to be rated some day at many millions higher in value than the sum we paid for them. Whatever salvage we may get, if any, Can be credited as would be the in- come, if any, from Muscle Shoals—merely a reduction in a war debit which seemed a potential war asset in its time, no matter what its status is today. Assuredly the president could give no thought to shirking Tae prob- lem we have bought, by abandoning as contemporane- ously unprofitable a defensive potentiality in time of war. That is something that nations cannot do, in this era of world relationship. Navigation Opens on the River (Minneapolis Tribune) With the arrival in Minneapolis Friday of the first barge tow from St. Louis for the season of 1931 the sea- son of favigation is opened on the Mississippi river. It is worthy of note that the season opens with the river at low stage and that little trouble is experienced in operating up river freight-carrying barges of triple the capacity of those first used in the service. It is also interesting to know that the operating company last year showed a net profit of $65,000 where operating have been chalked up in previous seasons. Service is now being given with limited facilities. ‘There may be picked up or set apart from tows.

On a party with a show-girl friend one night before a game with a rival college, Bert goes to at the game. The coach informs that he has sent big brother that he will never make a ball player. This looks like 's finish.

We had a hunch that he was getting an offer from some other and larger university and that these various chaps were watching how he worked us out.

BOWLEGS AND KNOCK-KNEES ] pressure of the hands between the Bow legs are not caused by letting the baby walk too soon, nor are Ikenock-khees caused because the baby's grandfather had knock-knees. ‘These troubles are practically always brought on because the diet of the growing baby or child is lacking in bone forming elements. An adequate diet is the best preventive of either bowlegs or knock-knees. Infants with @ tendency to rickets are especially likely to develop these troubles. This disorder need never develop if the baby has sunlight and a good diet. ‘There are some changes taking place in the bone growth up to about the-age of thirty, and it is often pos- sible to correct these deformities to some extent up to that age. The younger the person the better the chance of correction. ‘Many people think they have de- formities of thé legs when the only trouble is that certain muscles of the calf or thigh are not sufficiently de- veloped to give a proper curve to the leg. It is nearly always possible. to improve the appearance of the legs by the persistent, use of leg and foot exercises to develop the defective muscles, ‘Women having wider hips than men are more inclined to knock-knees and men are more inclined to bow- legs. “A slight bow is normal in the baby’s legs and need occasion no alarm unless the bow is excessive. Gentle manipulations for straighten- ing an infant's limbs will often bring good results because the bones have not yet hardened. After eighteen months the bones are more solid and this treatment is not as effective. An adult may often improve the appearance ‘of the legs through using such exercises as the deep knee bend and alternately rising on the toes and heels. These exercises are good for Poth bowlegs and knock-knees. For bow legs, these exercises should be followed by this exercise: Stand erect with the heels separated by an upright book about one inch in thickness. Point the toes’ outward about 45 degrees from: each: other. Now strain the muscles of the legs to pull the knees together without mov- ing the feet. You can help touch the knees by pressing inwardly with the hands on the outside of the limbs. Now relax, and repeat the exercise about twenty times ona or twice a day. For knock-knees, first use the deep knee bend then the toe and heel exercises, to be followed by this special exercise: Sit on the floor and fasten the feet together with a cord. Now straighten out the legs and try to tense the muscles to separate the knees. You may help this with the | arid splendid pictures I have yet seen.” Today Is the Anniversary of AUSTRIA’S BREAK On April 8, 1917, the government of Austria-Hungary severed diplo- matic relations with the government of the United States. As soon as the announcement of the break was received by the ad- ministration, orders were given for taking possession of the Austrian merchant vessels that had been self- interned in this country. Here is an excerpt of the note handed to the American @affaires at Vienna in the absence of Ambassador Penfield, who had left for America a few days previously: “Bince the United States of Amer- ica has declared that a state of war exists between it. and the Imperial German | government, Austria-Hun- gary, as ‘an ally of the German Em- pire, has decided to break off diplo- matic relations: with the United States, and the Imperial and Royal Embassy at Washington has been in- structed to inform the Department of State to that effect.” Times are such, says the office sage, that even men everybody look- ed up to are low down. * * * AE, Irish poet, who suggests a re- turn to agriculture, probably would like the idea of a. zee party. ako A New York bank cles& knocked out a holdup man by a sack of nickels over his head. ex- eed As bind that old cornpone contro- (Copyright, 1929, G: Syndicate, Inc.) | Versy, dunkers should realize that ore rc cyan tp Ae Seen cole SCOUT CHIEF LAUDS . g oe “FATHER'S SON” FILM| A movie theater cashier in a big Ohio town carries the receipts to the bank in an ice cream bucket.

You should not expect quick re- sults, but you can improve the ap- pearance of the limbs if you are per- sistent and repeat the exercises every day. Even a fraction of an inch im- provement often makes the shape of the legs more symmetrical. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS White Spots Question: F. G. J. writes: “I have some white spots nearly all over my -—legs, arms and face. They don’t bother me, but look so ugly, and are getting worse every day. What do you advise?” Answer: When white patches ap- pear on the skin it is usually a sign of vitiligo, which is a disease causing the destruction of the coloring pig- ment in the skin. This comes from a systemic acidosis, and further trou- ple can be prevented through die- tetic measures which would correct the lack of the normal alkalinity of the blood. Grapefruit and Milk Question: H. R. C. asks? “In what way would you combine grape- fruit and milk? Unsweetened as an appetizer, or sweetened as a dessert? Will the acid in grapefruit turn pas- teurized milk to buttermilk?” Answer: The best way to use grapefruit and milk is to mix them half and half, shaking them together in a bottle or mixer. This makes an appetizing food drink. The milk is curdled into fine curds, making it more easily digested but this of course is not buttermilk, as buttermilk is the liquid left over after removing the butter fat from milk in the process of making butter. Exotosis Question: K. L. asks: “Will you be so kind as to tell me what an ex- otosis is, what causes it, and if re- moved will it later cause,more trou- ble?” Answer: An exotosis means an ab- hormal growth of bone. It may form around a broken bone or on a bone which is subjected to constant irri- tation. “It is impossible for me to give you any more information without knowing more about the particular THURSDAY, APRIL 9 S80 Milecyelee—S45.1 Meters Farm Flashes—Weather Re- port 5—Morning Devotions 0—Cheerio 5—Old Time Music Program 5—Radio Floor Walker )0—Sunshine Hour 5—The Bookman rlington Time Signals arkets 5—Grace Duryee Morris, Organist (0—National Farm and Home Hour 8—A\ 0—M. ance Program . §.
