CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Seeing With New Eyes Two different men who knew Bismarck of yore returned to the city within the last few days and each of them, we are informed, marveled at the advances made by| this city in the last 25 years. | Each of them remembered Bismarck as a city of mud | streets, a few brick blocks and little of beauty or com-; mercial importance to recommend it. Through all these years they have carried in their minds’ eye the picture of | a struggling, straggling frontier town as Bismarck was when last they saw it many years ago. Doubtless they reflected that view in their conversations touching the city. They could not be expected to understand what they had no opportunity to see. And so they were surprised. when they returned after @ long absence. Muddy streets had given place to mod- ern pavement. The utility services in Bismarck, with the single exception of intra-urvan transportation, are as good as those of any in the land; the struggling days, which were so difficult and meant so much, are over. In their place has come the days of community assur- ance and unhindered progress. Bismarck no longer 1s! on its way to becoming an important civic, commercial and cultural center. To a marked degree it has arrived. ! And yet, those who leave today to return 25 years| hence will see the same remarkable advances which our recent visitors noted. There will be just as many rela- tive changes and improvements during the next 25 years as during the last quarter century, probably more. 1 ‘Those who have lived here during the years know that | the city has changed but they do not understand how much because to them the transition has been gradual. They are unable to appreciate their own -handiwork | because. they cannot look upon it with new cyes. Teebergs in the South Sea We who live in the northern hemisphere think of icebergs as a product of the arctic regions, never-the- Jess we are not surprised to learn that South America, a land of unsuspected marvels, produces its full share, also. Mis: Ruth Sedgwick, an employe of the Pan-American Union at Washington, has been traveling recently in the “Switzerland of Chile” and among the fiords which ex- tend from Puerto Montt to the Straits of Magellan. “The scenery grew bleaker, the sheer rocks rose higher, | the snow-capped Andes seemed closer; finally the blue glaciers came down to the water's edge, still shooting off icebergs in mid-summer,” writes Miss Sedgwick. “Puerto Montt marks the southern terminus of Chile's raflway system. From there a line of small steamers thread their way through Smythe channel or the inside route to Magallanes, half way through Magellan Straits. Here and there along this spectacular route pioneers of business have established themselves. At one of the great sheep ranches near Natales, there was the novelty of shearing sheep on a large scale—where men with mod- ern electric devices clip the wool from as many as 6,000 animals per day. And there are about five millions of sheep in this far southern region of South America. "There were the coal mines of Loreto, and also the big “frigorificos’ or meat packing plants.” ‘These few paragraphs give us a hint of what is going on down there below the equator. Those people are making progress with modern tools and equipment against ‘what is one of the few remaining frontiers. The time will come when more North Americans will know of these marvels first hand. Natives of the two hemispheres are beginning to feel more and more like friends and less and less like strangers. ‘Thar’s Gold in Them Hills’ From the dawn of history the human race has been moving westward with an irresistible urge, and the lure that has beckoned its most daring pathfinders into un- eonquered territory has been the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Thus the southern part ‘of this con- tinent was overrun by the Spanish conquistadors, while from its northern extremity came the Nordic peoples, breaking new paths across the Alleghenies and into the ynknown western regions. Fifty-six years ago only the eastern edge of Dakota territory had any permanent settlements of white peo- ple, while further west the Indian warrior still hela dominion over mountains and plains, and the vast herds of buffalo. Then the news was broadcast, by horseback- riding couriers that gold had been discovered in the Black Hills. The human stampede toward the hills that followed is a great American epic that still awaits the ' touch of dramatic genius for: true delineation and ex- i than have printed a large number of copies of his fare- may be seen grazing herds of registered cattle. The In: dian warrior has answered the call of the Great Spirit but his grandson has become a star in college athletics. Our graingrowers, dairymen and coal miners have proved that we have more gold in these hills than the first prospectors ever dreamed of; and the actual gold dug out of the Homestake mine is only a pittance when compared to the enormous total, Attracting More Interest As the time for the celebration of the bi-cen'‘ennial of George Washington’s birth approaches, the nation 1s taking a constantly keener interest in all pertaining to that heroic figure. ‘This interest is reflected, we are told, by the increasing number of persons who take particular notice of six cases of Washington relics which are exhibited in the Smithsonian institution at Washington. The groups include the silver and china dinner serv- ices used at Mount Vernon as well as the chairs and tables; an extra-faced watch he presented to his wife, Martha; the blue and buff uniform which he apparently, prized highly, for he wore it on all state occasions; the flag of the original Thirteen colonies which the first president himself possessed, and a large number of other personal objects. In a separate exhibit, and carefully guarded, reposes the original copy of Washington's commission as com- mander-in-chief of the continental army, signed with the bold flourish of John Hancock, president of the con- tinental congress. It is appropriate and fitting that the nation should renew its interest in Washington, in the things which were his as well as in the sterling traits of his character. And while the people are about it, they could do worse well address for circulation among our congressmen and other political officeholders. There are some thoughts contained in it which the nation seems in danger of orgetting, but which it should not forget. Must Get Back to Land Drawn ‘to the cities by the: boom of war and: post bellum conditions, millions of workers left the land: There are signs of a return to the land, not necessarily to produce for the market but actually to avoid hunger and distress which stalk the streets of the cities. There are no bread lines in the rural sections of America except where drought or disaster caused hunger and disease. The department of agriculture notes an increase in | . Ladies’ Night! THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1931 farm population in January, 1931, as against the same month a year ago. It is also a fact that the movement away from the farm to the city has not been so great within the last two years. Economic -conditions in the cities have forced many to till the soil. Small tracts of lands which will sup- port a family rather than yield produce for the markets have been in demand. Industry cannot care for the masses and the land is the only other resort. It is a healthy sign. The farm with its radio, good highway, automobile and airplane is nearer the city than ever before. A man can commute from the farm to his city job easily these days while the family helps solve the budget problems by tilling the land. It means a meal ticket and something more besides and is much better than knocking at the doors of organized charity. Depression’s Best Friends ‘The greatest barrier business faces in returning to nor- mal is the threat of higher taxes. It is all very well to advocate taxing the big fellow to help the little fellow. But it is the big fellow who gives that little fellow his job—who keeps him employed at good wages, and enjoying exceptional living standards. ‘Then, too, in the United States, the little fellow has been purchasing for himself interests in our great industries, so that it is often hard to tell where “capital” leaves off and “labor” begins. Prosperity—which is principally a matter of employ- ment—can only return with increased industrial activity, which, in turn, results from an influx of new money. ‘Tax raising schemes that discourage industrialists and investors alike are depression’s best friends.

(New York World Telegram) Orders for murder promptly filed and filled; arson at reasonable rates, varying with size and value of property; burglaries and holdups personally attended to by experts; counterfeiting at odd hours. If half what the authorities believe is true the above would be a fair “ad” for the gang of nine men and one woman rounded up in Newark, N. J., by the police of that city and this. Three killings, six fires, an indefinite num- ber of robberies and a steady job of counterfeiting are on the list of crimes charged to one or more of the ten, each of whom is said to be a “specialist” in some partic- ular line.

If so the background is even more sinister than the criminals who work comparatively “in the open.” Current studies of racketeering ought to give special attention to what may be called patrons, clients, custom- ers and promoters of crime. Tax Relief Must Begin at Home » (Minneapolis Journal) In. the eight counties of Minnesota having total tax rate, their average being 1422 mills, only $2.16 goes for state purposes out of an average per capita tax pression.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Retinitis Question: M. J. M. writes: “1 would like to know if there is any Possible cure for an hereditary case oi retinitis pigmetosa in a boy of 13 years. Is there nothing to check the atrophy of the retina?” Answer: Retinitis pigmetosa is. rather a rare disease. It is charac- terized by a chronic inflammation of the retina which becomes atrophied hd hardened and contains star shaped deposits of pigment. The Dicod vessels often become greatly shrunken or even destroyed. In ad- vanced cases it is practically hopeless, but'I believe that the trouble can usually be prevented from progress- ng by the use of a fasting and diet- ing regimen which would tend tc eliminate the toxins from the sys- tem. I would suggest that you place the little boy on the cleansing diet course and also use cald applications over the eyes for about an hour a them. Adhesions around the gall are usually difficult to correct but they can often be broken by this ex- ercise: Stand with the feet about a foot apart. Lock the hands the neck and rapidly twist from right to left keeping the stiff, and turning at the waist. Do this exercise vigorously and with a sudden jerk. Next, in the same posi- e tion, bend the body to the right and to the left as far as possible. Other exercises which are beneficial for removing adhesions are those tak- en while lying on the back with the feet and hips in an elevated position so that the abdominal organs tend to fall toward the chest. ‘3 article tells exactly how a slanting should be taken. day.. He should be given sweat baths twice a week and enemas twice a day in order to promote elimination as much as possible. Grapejuice Question: Mrs. P.
