CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON 0 ee Deserves Support From the standpoint of personal satisfaction for the individual and benefit to the community as a whole, there are few enterprises now active in Bismarck which have more to recommend them that the city's yard and; garden contest, sponsored by the Bismarck Yard and} Garden club. Tt isn't every day that pleasure and profit may be/ combined so naturally as by participating in the pro- Gram for a more beautiful city which this organization is carrying out. No matter how fine a home may be, it lacks something of both background and attractiveness unless the ex-/ terior surroundings are in harmony with the building) and its setting. Modern horticulture and floraculture have kept step with home-design and a wealth of mate- rials, many of them inexpensive, are available for ail who take an interest in beautifying their home grounds. A 10-cent package of flower seed often means the dif- ference between drab monotony and cheery brightness. The man or woman who has no love for flowers is Queer, indeed, and there are few such in Bismarck. The} few minutes which are needed to plant them and the Occasional half hour necessary for their care will be well ‘and healthfully spent. Everyone in Bismarck, whether a member of the Yard and Garden club or not, should contribute his bit to this movement. It deserves general support. Fashions in Paint When one speaks of painting as an art these days he really should specify what is to be painted, for the fact seems to be that as much paint is being applied to the human face as to canvas. And if mi-lady’s complexion changes with the seasons the mere male need not be surprised. If he doesn’t like it he can keep that fact to himself for the sake of peace in the family and blame dame fashion. As evidence of this fact we submit the following para- fraph taken from a well-known fashion review: “The bright-colored frocks which are in vogue this spring are changing feminine make-up. Cheeks and lips are becoming more vivid to match brilliant gowns and prevent disastrous clashes of colors. “A brilliant shade like red or orange takes all the natural color out of one’s face and requires a distinct accenting of color on lips and cheeks, bright lipstick is a necessary foil for a frock of brilliant tone. Green and yellow, orange and coral frocks require rouge and lipstick in the orange shades. The blue range calls for make-up with an undertone of vermilion. Apricot, strange- ly enough, ‘though a much paler shade, also re- quires a decided make-up, and one along the orange tones.” concerting to the old-fashioned, but what we would Ike to know is what is the girl going to do who hap- To the Rescue Psychiatrists and nerve specialists have so long de- cried the speed and intensity with which the average living in Idaho are planning to come to the rescue in @ big way. They have set aside as a “primitive area never to be improved or civilized,” some million acres of wild mountain territory and are attempting to promote its use as a resting place for the tired city man whose nerves are’ jangled and whose entire system is run down from hurry and strain. A government report on the subject asserts that “the rapidly changing order of our national life has em- phasized certain social needs which can be met in some degree at least by the national forests,” according to the approved report on the primitive area. “One of these needs is that of continued opportunity under primi- tive conditions to indulge in outdoor activities and to seek release from the strain of modern life. The govern- ment has a real responsibility in recognizing this public need and meeting it.” All of which may be true but when one stops to con- sider the fact that many city people don’t know a saddle- cinch from a lariat or @ pack-mule from a mountain trout, the result may be embarrassment and disappoint- ment for some who try it. Even the man who is ordi- narily capable of taking care of himself in the open would need the services of a guide and a camp cook or ly enjoyable. ee An Event a Year Disregarding those things which occur fortuitously or fas the result of conditions which cannot now be for- seen, the major events of the next two years in America are being planned now. They are the Olympic Games to be held at Los Angeles in 1932 and the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1933. ‘The presidential campaign of 1932 will, of course, at- fought and close, but it is improbable that it will draw mare newspaper headlines or create more comment in given period of time than the world athletic spectacle on the West Coast. Here the prize men and women athletes of all nations qwill gather to decide the question of supremacy and the contests will be as close, though perhaps not as bit- fer, as those in the domestic Political field. ‘The Chicago's World Fair is already getting under fgey, what with the opening to the public of @ replica of Old Fort Dearborn, the military outpost which first the site of the nation’s second city. “Phe fort was destroyed at the time of the massacre of } Jong before the city of Chicago was dreamed of, the plans were preserved in the files of the war de- world fair celebration to guide them in recon- It is all very interesting, even though a bit as-| pens to look best in black. | other assistant to make a sojourn in such @ locality real- me tract widespread attention.

In more ways than one Chicago is a symbol of Amer- ica. From its sordid crime to its tremendous buildings, is, perhaps, a better cross-section of America than any other city in the nation. Its world fair will bring its own greatness and the progress of America home to many persons living in foreign Jands. Protecting the Motorist Everyone who owns or drives a motor car will be in- terested in the policies adopted by the American Auto- mobile Association at its convention to be held next month at West Baden, Indiana, for they or their rami- fications probably will affect his interests in no un- ertain manner. In this day and age, when there is one motor car for approximately every four and a half persons in the United States, it is important that someone be able to speak in the motorists’ interests. The Automobile association will attempt to do so. ‘ Here are the present major problems as presented by an official of this organization: “The toll of highway accidents has continued to rise. The legislatures have continued to pyramid the taxes levied on the car owners. Conditions pertaining to safety, sanitation and decent appearance along our roadways have not materially improved. The great objective of a system of national express highways has not ad- vanced beyond the talking stage. Programs for highway widening in congested urban areas are still the exception, rather than the rule. Few states have adopted a scheme for grade cross- ing elimination. “We may as well realize now that the progress of highway transportation will, in the final ana- lysis, depend on the solution of three major problems: the operation of the motor vehicle with safety; the operation of the motor vehicle without an undue burden on the owner or the user; and the provision of such facilities as will make ownership and use profitable and pleasur- able.” His Name Is ‘Remarque” Publication of the book, “The Road Back,” by the author of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” reminds one of a curious story that has grown up about the author during the last two years. The author, as everyone knows, is Erich Maria Remar- que. But it has been said repeatedly that the man’s real name is Kramer, and that Remarque is only a nom de plume made by reversing the spelling of Kramer and substituting a “que” for the final “k.” Now Mr. Remarque himself tells about it, as follows: “My name is not ‘Kramer’; that is a fairy tale invented by some German militarists and disseminated in the press. My name is Remarque; that has been the name of my family for hundreds of years. No one in our, family was ever called ‘Kramer’; that is pure invention.” Which, it seems to us, ought to settle the matter for good. The Cost of War In declaring that the current business depression 1s, in the last analysis, part of the price that is being paid for the World war, Secretary Mellon hits on a truth that is becoming more and more apparent to thinking men each day. “I have lived through several crises,” says Mr. Mel- lon, “and the conclusions I have come to is that they dislocations which were due, as a rule, to wars and their aftermath.” That cannot be repeated too often. War is a ruin- ously expensive business, and the smallest part of its cost is the money that is actually spent on armies and ammunition. General recognition of the fact ought, eventually, to make war between civilized nations im- possible. 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, Rail and Bus and Pipeline (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Like many other railroads, the Southern Pacific has lost business to buses and pipelines, but instead of complaining about it, this road has decided to take over \its competitors, in which, as its annual report shows, it American lives that the government forestry officials |nas invested $16,000,000. Legal difficulties may be en- | countered in this program of expansion, and questions of public policy arise, but the action is, we believe, prophetic. One thing is certain: the railroads cannot live and pros- per on their reputations. Any transportation agency | which proves its worth is bound to survive. The bus and truck have won their place by reason of their flexibility, while economy of operation is the pfpeline's credential. | Evolution seems to be pointing to a unification of all. facilities—rail, river, bus, pipeline and air—as the transportation system of the future. The Southern Pacific's management seems to be somewhat quicker on the trigger than the others. Two Sets of Corn Belters (New York Times) In 1925 the corn belt committee, federating some two) dozen and @ half of farm and cooperative marketing associations, was fromed at Des Moines. Its prime pur- pose was the improvement of agricultural conditions by national legislation. Last week at Des Moines the organ- ization split into two. One division, retaining the old name, is hot against the federal farm board and the ad- ministration. Its leaders say that the farmers are in danger of being reduced to peasants if the right remedy is not applied. The federal farm board is “an abject failure.” Its authority must be defined and restricted. The equalization fee or the export debenture plan, “or both,” must be authorized and put into effect. There must be a “world dollar whose purchasing power shall adjusted to existing world conditions.” Farmers must “choose between the preservation of thelr homes and their erstwhile political affiliations.” ‘This seems to be political agriculture, whether its object is to ald the Democrats or to start a third party. The president of the corn belt committee and his two chief aids are accused of “packing” it and of “playing partisan politics.” Representatives of insurance and oil companies have been admitted. Persons praying for further “relief” at Washington can hardly keep out of partisan politics. The active three were facetiously called “the three musty-steers” by a dissenter. The urged committee is far from musty. It is the agricul- tural left. It consists mainly of the Farmres Union of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa and the Missouri Farmers’ association. The seceders formed the National Commit- tee of Farm Organizations, which is said to represent seventeen state-wide associations of farmers. If their count is correct, they “constitute fully three- fourths” of the original corn belt committee. They have “no interest in partisan politics.” That is a counsel of perfection and they are supporting Mr. Hoover in prom- ising “active and energetic support” to the farm market- ing act and the farm board. “Great benefit has been already manifest,” they believe, and greater may come. Between the stand-patters and the progressives the outlander must not judge; and the doctors of agricul- ture have always disagreed about the medicine. The sur- viving corn belt committee, if diminished in numbers, is a vessel of the ancient agrarian fire. The attack on the monetary standard is in the old vein that most of us had thought dried up.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Med- ical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magazine. a definite history could be had re- garding the taking of laxatives. One hundred thirty-one of the 160 patients had peritonitis and 124 of the 131 had taken laxatives. This evidence may be considered to establish conclusively the danger of taking laxatives in the presence of appendicitis, and also the very serious dangers associated with delay follow- ing the appearance of the symptoms of this condition. The Philadelphia County Médical Society printed 302,000 stickers for distribution about the city through physicians with the following rec- “In the presence of cbdominal pain give nothing by inouth, Never give a laxative. ply an ice-bag to the abdomen. Call your family physician. Abdominal pain which persists for six hours is usually dangerous.” Furthermore, the cooperation of re- tail druggists was secured in making sure that people who are buying laxa- tives did not have symptoms of ap- pendicitis, and druggists were asked to exhibit placards containing sound It is hoped that by this method of conducting educational campaigns more people with such Gangerous symptoms will be induced to make certain of their condition be- fore taking treatment, and by this means the number of deaths from ap- pendicitis can be greatly lowered. Our knowledge of appendicitis goes back many years. The public has ap- varently been fully informed concern- ing the control of this condition. Nevertheless a survey of the statis- tics in 27 hospitals in Philadelphia by Dr. John O. Bowers indicates that the mortality from appendicitis is still high. In the early ‘80's the ma- jority of the patients were operated on only after peritonitis had already developed. Now after 50 years it is found that 44.7 of the patients who enter the hospital with appendicitis still have peritonitis and that one out of every 18 dies. It is quite certain, as has been re- vealed in numerous studies through- out the world, that a patient in good Physical condition in 99 instances out cf 100 ts safe, if he is operated on for appendicitis within the first 12 hours after the onset of the symptoms.

WHEN SICK OR, CALL TO ARMS On May 18. 1917, President Wilson issued a proclamation of the con- scription law creating a naftonal army of the United States, The document explained in detail the machinery of conscription and the procedure by which it would be Herta out, He said in the proclama- ‘ion: “The whole nation must be a team, in which cach man slaall play the part for which he is best fitted. To this end, congress ha& provided that the nation shall be organized for war by selection; that each man shall be classified for service in the place to which it shall best serve the general good to call him. “The significance of this cannot be cverstated. It is a new thing in our history and a landmark in our pro- gress. It is a new manner of accept- ing and vitalizing our duty to give ourselves witn thoughtful devotion to the common purpose of us all.
