THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1931 i Canada, per year Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Member of The Associated Press (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER & LEVINGS (Incorporated) Formerly G. Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Beauty Becoming Important Thirty years ago H. G. Wells predicted that “thirty years from now the ordinary man will be a mechanic.” ‘That was in the day of horses, when not a man in a thousand knew the rudiments of machinery. But to- day almost every householder has a practical knowledge of gas engines, electric refrigeration, radio and electric! wiring. : Now comes Ernest Eberhard, editor of an architectural magazine, to assert that 30 years from now every business man will be an artist. To bolster his prediction, the truth or falsity of which cannot be proved now, he as- sSerts that the truly successful business man of today} must have a considerable degree of artistic appreciation and understanding. The past generation has been a period of intensive in- venting and building of new machines, household ap- Pliances, steel-framed buildings and public works. Be- cause of practical necessity of supplying these things quickly, their possibilities for beauty were latgely over- looked. But today business is learning that beauty has a high sales value, Eberhard points out. “The machine man has invited the artist into | conference just as the ordinary man once invited the machine man into conference. Advertising had to be made beautiful, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent for art of notable quality. And there are now specialist: in making products and machines beautiful. Why? Because the public is coming to prefer the beau- tiful. “Every automobile is sold as much on its beauty as on efficiency. The colored kitchen utensil, well designed, outsells its more homely, —~+4""erab companion. People today may not be con- scious of the lack of beauty in a product, but they are certainly conscious of its presence and they have proved that they will buy on the appeal of beauty. “This all means that soon a new generation will be in our midst, a generation with a fine conception of art and beauty, a conception so fine that it unquestionably will pervade all business. And so, the business man brought up in this at- mosphere must of necessity himself be an artist if he is to survive the stern competition of a business world actuated by beauty.” At least one important fact in the American scheme of things lends truth to this forecast. This is the dom- ination of nearly all American markets by women pur- chasers. It may seem absurd, but the probabilities are that women probably buy more men’s shirts than do men. When it comes to the various forms of household equipment, her judgment usually obtains greater recog- nition than does that of her menfolk. And there is no question of the appeal which beauty makes to women. The fact that they contribute some- thing like a billion dollars a year to the pockets of beauty specialists and the manufacturers of beautifying articles Proves that. Hoover Entertains President Hoover had the pleasure of entertaining two) distinguished guests within a few minutes recently. ‘The first was Bryan Untiedt, Colorado boy who saved the lives of a number of other children when their school bus was stranded during a blizzard. The second was King Prajadhipok of Siam, the first absolute mon-! arch ever to visit the United States. From the standpoint of statecraft, of course, the King was much the more important person. As ruler of one of the nations of the earth he was entitled to all the courtesy and ceremony which America could shower upon him. The president, doubtless, was very interested in keeping up his end of the international social obligation and his visit with the monarch probably was as enjoy- able as such formal affairs usually are. ‘To many others, also, the King was the more important of the two White House guests, for America is not quite 80 democratic, when all is said and done, as some folks would have us believe. Some Americans would gladly welcome the chance to bend their knee before the pos- sessor of a throne and to these the King of Siam looms’ ‘as a vastly more important figure than little Bryan ‘Untiedt. When viewed from another angle, however, the King fades into insignificance beside the boy from Colorado. ‘The latter's distinction is that of achievement. It is probable that he will return home and never break into the headlines again, but for a brief period he has had the opportunity of typifying, not only the American boy, but all that is best in America. His was the ability to hang on and keep working when the prospect seemed darkest. Not: all of us are of the same metal but we admire those who do possess this ability and think of them as the kind of folks we would like to be. It may be that President Hoover likes state functions, but, since he once was an American boy himself, it seems a safe wager that he enjoyed his visit with Bryan Untiedt fully as much as that with the King.

Meanwhile the Goodyear Zeppelin company, which 1s building the huge new airship for the United States navy, is planning a still larger ship for transatlantic) passenger service, The schedule of these craft probably will call for a crossing in from 60 to 70 hours, according | to the best available information. But the huge new ocean greyhound will not be a great deal slower. It wouid seem that the sieamship lines Go} not intend to give up the cream of this business—and | the valuable mail contracts—without a real struggle. ! They May Like It Citizens of Camden, N. J., take great pride, apparently, | in the fact that it has mounted in the tower of its city hall a loud-speaker which can be heard for five miles. | Describing this modern marvel, Popular Science Monthly says: \ “At twelve o'clock noon the chimes of ‘Big Ben’ ring out—not from the English towers of Westminster, where | the famous bell swings, but from the city hall. The tone of its English prototype is reproduced without a bell at all, through an electric device that imitates bell sounds. “The top of the city hall is a veritable loudspeaker tower. Through its 180 dynamic speakers not only the ringing of bells, but speeches and phonograph records | are broadcast over the city. They can be heard for aj distance of five miles. So great is the vibration of air; when the speakers are going that a visitor's clothes flap in time to the music, and entering the tower containing the strongly vibrating air is like walking through mud. “Beneath the loudspeakers, which are invisible from the street, is a control room. Here are microphones where a speechmaker may address the city; electric phon- ographs on which may be played records of Belgian chimes, for amplification through the loudspeaker tower; and the mysterious wooden box containing the electric | mechanism for duplicating the sound of Big Ben. “To place the speakers so that all of the sound would | not be deflected down into the streets immediately around | the tower was a difficult problem in acoustics, requiring | months of experiment.” Camdenites doubtless brag about this equipment but it| would seem rather a difficult thing to live with. Imag- ine a Camden mother just getting a fretting child to| sleep when the community loud-speaker blats forth with; “The King’s Horses” or some other equally idiotic piece. Imagine having to listen to a political speech whether | you wanted to or not and on a subject about which you; had decided opinions of your own. Think how it must} handicap so gentle an art as that of making love. Pic-j| ture the ardent swain about to whisper the important} words into a maiden’s receptive ear when the loud-speaker turns loose a warning on the perils of marriage. The thing is all right for Camden, N. J., if the people there like it, but we hope a popular vote will be taken if the suggestion is made that one be installed, say in the proposed new capitol building. 16,977 Loans Reports by the federal government indicate that 1€,977 loans were made by the department of agriculture to North Dakota farmers who needed assistance as a re- sult of the drovth. At the end of the present crop year the government will send its agents into the field to collect those loans and it is the sincere hope of everyone in the country that the farmers of North Dakota, as well as those else- where in the nation, will find it easy to pay in full and have a competence left for themselves besides. ‘The making of these loans was a praiseworthy thing for it enabled many farmers to keep their heads above water a while longer and to hang on, waiting for a turn in their affairs which will open for them the road to prosperity and contentment, But, after all, it was only a makeshift. The thing which the farmer needs most of all is more for the products which he raises. If a solution is found for the problem of how to translate the things he produces into an adequate financial return. the ne- cessity for such loans in the future will be greatly re- duced and everyone will benefit. That New York gangster known as “Legs” Diamond; was shot again but still is alive. Maybe he is just prov- ing that Diamonds are really hard. There is one thing about the business depression, fewer! persons are being killed at grade crossings this year. May- be the whoopee era had a good deal to do with accident statistics.

Pine in a Prairie State (Duluth Herald) A new crop is to be planted on the rolling prairies of North Dakota this spring. Trees. Mostly pine. Plans for the most extensive forestation project in the history of the state have been made by the Federal and state governments and provide for a forest that is ex-! pected to some day cover a hundred thousand acres. The government has provided twenty-five thousand dollars for a start, and this spring's planting will consist of about five acres in McHenry county. This will be followed by more extensive plantings| annually, and if the project is as successful as Dr, Raph- ael Zon, head of the government's forestry work in the northwest, thinks it will be, it may mean a new agri- cultural era for the state. Timber experts say that extensive windbreaks of trees may have-important climatic effects by breaking up and modifying hot winds. That would be immensely valuable foto Dakota, and it is to be hoped that it will be re , Gasoline Taxes (Devils Lake Journal) * A movement has begun in the state to seek a refer- endum on the four cent gasoline tax voted by the last session of the state legislature and it is quite probable that the increased tax will meet the same fate it did some years ago when the people voted against it. There is not much argument against the wisdom of the tax, although there may be some argument against the judgment of the legislature in passing it after a majority of the people previously had voted against it. The legis- lature, it appears, ignored the will of the people in this instance. While the tax is an excellent one, inasmuch as those who use the highways of the state thereby are directly contributing to their erection and maintenance, there may be a feeling that this is an inappropriate time to in- crease the tax burden of the people. Business as well as private owners of automobiles will be called on to pay the inereased tax, and many business houses in the city would pay the tax without getting any direct benefits therefrom, inasmuch as the trucks rarely leave the city limits. On the other hand, the present low price ‘of gasoline ‘might indicate that the increased tax would not be so ad @ burden as it would have been about @ year ago. gasoline price now, even including the state tax, is the lowest it has been in a great many years. However, we have no assurance that such low prices will continue indefinitely. The oil companies have a practice of raising or lowering the gasoline prices at will and without much ‘The four-cent gasoline tax has been one of Governor Shafer's pet hobbies. In a Devils Lake address some time ago he went on record as favoring the increased tax be- cause the added income therefrom would enable the state to meet the total federal allowance for state highways. In his mesage to the legislature he recommended the en- actment of legislation providing for the increased tax, and the legislature, controlled by the governor's faction, ac- ceded to his wishes. It might be well, however, to put the to another test at the polls to determine if the desires people have changed in the matter. The refer- ‘was inevitable in view of the former vote. * | paragus; i | The Retreat from and Advance on Moscow! 0 Me Fast BY DR.

K. writes: “I ama shoe worker, and my hands continual- ly become cracked and sore. Doctors have diagnosed it as “leather poison- ing” and say it'cannot be cured. I use benzine, ether, etc., to clean shoes, and wonder if this has something to do with it.” Answer: The cracking of your hands is probably due to loss of the natural oil from the use of the ether and benzine. Try soaking the hands in hot epsom salts baths twice a week, 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Follow this by rubbing with olive oil. The oil should be used on the hands every day after contact with ether, benzine or other fat solvents. If possible, use rubber gloves while engaged in this work. Arsenic Question: Mrs. T. J. asks: “In what manner would arsenic have a tonic effect in clearing up pimples and improving the complexion?” Answer: Arsenic has a definite ef- fect upon stopping skin eruptions, but I do not recommend the form used ip medicines. There is a slight amount of arsenic in carrots when used unpeeied. Use a properly bal- anced diet and a liberal amount of raw carrots. You will then get the same effect as you would from taking the medicinal arsenic, and have no bad results. Calcium Growth Question: K. M. writes: “Am told I have a calcium growth on a joint in one of my small toes. Can you tell MOTHER NATURE'S CURIO SHOP 7 WEIGH ~ : ONE OUNCE... me if there is any external applica- tion I can use to remove it?” Answer: By a calcium growth you probably mean a growth upon the bone in your toe. Sometimes deposits ot a rheumatic nature may form, giv- ing it the appearance of being a bone growth. Of course, I could not diag- nose your case without examining you. If it is a real bone growth, probably the only thing would be surgery. VISIT TO SENATE On May 1, 1917, Vice Premier Viviani, Marshal Joffre and Ambas- sador Jusserand visited the United States Senate chamber to pay the re- Spects of the French government. A demonstration followed such as had not been witnessed since Lafay- ette was the guest of the United States in 1822. The senators clapped hands deafeningly and rose, tne gal- leries shouted more deafeningly still and rose, leaning forward and wav- ing, while members of the House/ standing at the back of the chamber, surged forward. The visitors shook hands with Vice President Marshall and stood beside him, looking with evident pleasure at the wild scene before them. When the applause had lasted for several es Mr. Marshall tapped for or- ler. When M. Viviani concluded his ad- dress to the Senate, shouts of “Joffre! Joffre!” filled the chahber, and the marshel turned and said with a smile: “I do not speak English.” Then raising his right hand, he called out, “Vivent les Etats-Unis!” With a military salute he was gone. ——— BARBS | oe With the Babe out because of in- juries, baseball is indeed a Ruth-less Sport. x ek * If there’s anything in a name, John Drinkwater, the writer, should make @ fine propagandist for the prohibi- tionists. * ek Married couples don’t realize they’re in a tight fix until they move into a modern apartment, * oe x The man who blows his own horn, says the office sage, is the only one! who thinks he’s tootin’ right. x * * A seven-foot man has been elected mayor of Berlin to succeed a mayor jlately involved in a scandal.
