Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Touchy Business Statistics compiled by organizations interested in such data show that the railroads of the United States and Canada handled approximately 500 million pounds ot dangerous explosives during 1930 without a single fatal- ity. { Care was used, of course. It would hardly be expected | that a railroad employe would risk his life and those of | fellow workmen by taking liberties with a can of nitro-| glycerin. A box of dynamite sticks would have little appeal as a plaything, and an engineer, drawing a train containing a car of high explosives, could reason- ably be expected to handle that train gently. | It was not always, thus, however, for in 1907, when the bureau of explosives was organized by the federal government, the loss resulting from the transportation of explosives totalled $500,000 in comparison with the property loss of $71 reported last year. Of all the products handled by railroads, gasoline 1s the most dangerous, judged by the fatality record. In| 1930, nine persons lost their lives in connection with this work, of whom seven were trespassers on the right- of-way. In most cases the deaths were caused by burn- ing following derailments or wrecks in which carloads of| gasoline were upset. In addition to high explosives and gasoline, the rail- roads handled millions of pounds of acids, compressed gases, corrosive and poisonous liquids and scores of other dangerous articles. Not a fatality was recorded from these sources. There were two injuries chargeable directly to the nature of the objects handled rather than to their weight or bulk. One man was hurt when some toy torpedoes exploded in a box and another was shot when an auto- matic pistol went off inside a trunk which he was handling. This outstanding record is a tribute, not only to the efficiency of America’s leading transportation medium) but to’ the safety which men can achieve if they put their will into the effort. Commonplace Interests It has been said that there is nothing quite so in- triguing as the commonplace things of life. One need | only act natural in vaudeville to win applause. Books that discuss the everyday things of life are always in favor. Humanity prefers the mirror to the telescope. Several publications in this country and England re-| cently took up with considerable success, both in supply- ing interesting information to their readers and in at- tracting the interest of the public, the discussion of the; origin with evolution of the gentlemanly act of shaving. ‘The history of shaving was pieced together from many sources. Samuel Popys was quoted as describing shaving with ® pumice-stone as “very easy, speedy and cleanly.” In the works of the younger Pliny someone found refer- ence to a dandy of his day who was both shaved and pumice-stoned—“rasus atque etiam pumicatus.” ‘When Martial was writing his epigrams the gilded youth of Rome were having their beards treated in all the then modern modes—tonsa, clipped with scissors; rasa, shaved; vulsa, plucked. All of those who contributed to this symposium on the gentle art of shaving agreed that there have been shaven faces since the time of Nero or before but only one supplied any evidence that razors of steel were in use as early as the time of the Roman Empire It is a duty imposed upon the writers of today that they leave to posterity an accurate and minute history of those commonplace things which have originated in} this day and age, such as five-and-ten-cent stores, base- balls, jazz music, automobile petting parties, blocs, knickers for men, highway soft-drink stands, roadside tea rooms, good roads and many others which future generations will no doubt be curious about. The Price of Inferiority “Quality production means not only economical pro- duction but relief from surplus production,” writes James E. Poole in @ current number of an agricultural publica- tion. The scientific truth of that statement appears to have been realized to a great extent by the farmers of North Dakota. That quality, not quantity, has become the slogan of many western North Dakota stock breeders is shown by the increasing demand for prime hogs from this area for the Oriental trade. The well-to-do Chinese merchants and mandarins have taken a fancy to Western North Dakota pork and if the quality is maintained the de- mand is certain to increase. Practically all of the North Dakota hogs purchased by Pacific coast buyers have been shipped to China. It may be taken for granted that no ill-bred and runty hogs have gone into those shipments to the west. The dumping of inferior agricultural products on the market at ruinous prices would not be so bad if it af- fected only the producers of such inferior stuff; but such dumping tends to rob the quality producer of his just profits, and for that reason ought to be discouraged. The Enigma of China For ages the Western World has been asking “Why is it that China has outlasted so many other nations and civilizations?” So many solid reasons for China's sta- bility have been adduced that in the end the matter ap- Pears extremely simple. ‘The geographical position of China, the fertility of her soil and the intensive agricultural methods employed Persons on a dead level of mediocrity lulled into con- tentment by Confucian ethics and ruled by the heads of the families—that is to say, by conservative old men to whose interest it was to preserve the prevailing state of affairs. These facts about China refute the arguments of those alarmists who are heard too frequently predicting the early decline and fall of America, The United States also has the advantage of geographical position, fertility of soil, intensive agricultural methods, equality in the dis- tribution of wealth, household industry and close rela- tionship between employer and employe. America is building her civilization for permanence, but unlike China, she is building it for more than that. Future Generations Pay President Hoover's recent summary of the high cost of warfare and preparedness draws a final and apt chapter from General Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans’ relief. This chapter opens with a recital of the fact that the government has distributed $1,000,000,000 under the new bonus bill and that by 1953 veterans’ relief will have cost the federal government $21,000,000,000. He anticipates a pension for all World War veterans such are paid to Civil War veterans, although the war- time risk insurance and the more recent adjusted com- pensation policies were given the veterans with the un- derstanding that they would be in lieu of a pension. When the United States entered the war it remem- bered how former wars had burdened the country under the pension system and sought to ease the burden of future generations through war risk insurance and a scientific system of deferred compensation, Now it ap- pears that these well-laid plans have served only to saddle the taxpayers with an added burden, for it is quite generally taken for granted that pensions for all World War veterans are not far off. General Hines is among those in high places who believe the nation will have to face the problem of pensions for the veterans of 1917 and 1918. This future would not be so dark if the pension dol- lars were to come from those who made millions from the war, instead of from generations that may have only a vague idea as to wherein they benefited from} the war. | | Postal Deficit Grows Back of the postoffice department's concern over posta) rates and subsidies is a probable deficit of $140,006,000 at the end of the current fiscal year. The deficit last year was a little less than $100,000,000, so a condition the department termed “bad” a year ago has gone from bad to worse. Fifty millions of the deficit are due to loss of busi- ness through ‘he depression. Postal revenues fell off that much without any reduction in personnel, the presi- dent's unemployment policy forbidding such reduction as long as millions of other workers were idle. It is un- likely that this particular item will be subject to public protest. It is well for the department to be concerned over the large and growing deficits of the postal service, but let it not concern itself with what the taxpayers think of these deficits. All that the public asks of this government agency is an efficient mail service at the lowest possible cost. It is more interested in low postal rates than in balanced books. If the department can convince the taxpayers that it is giving them a hundred cents worth of service for every dollar of revenue, deficits will not be counted against it. Would it not be better for the postmaster general and his assistants to stress the importance of low postal rates than the size of postal deficits, since the real pur- pose of government operation of the mails is to make possible continuous and cheap communication between the American people? In the thirty years since Alfred Nobel of Sweden established the Nobel prize fund, the prizes have been awarded to 155 persons chosen by the awards commit- tee as distinguished leaders in literature, art, science, etc. More than half of the winners represent four coun- tries—Germany with 35, France 22, England 18, and United States 12.

Investigating the Schafer Lynching (Grand Forks Herald) Some weeks ago reference was made in this column to an investigation by a representative of the Federal Council of Churches of the lynching of Charles Ban- non, at Schafer. The council has just issued a some- what detailed history of the case, which does not differ essentially from what has already been published. The report summarizes the facts as follows: 1) The crime: a sextuple murder was com- mitted. The murderer confessed. By his actions he appears mentally and morally defective. He lied so readily he could not tell when he was telling the truth. 2) Feeling ran high against the murderer. The officers first took him 60 miles away for safe-keeping. They made countless trips, gave numerous interviews, and gathered a great deal of personal publicity. They delayed the arraign- ment for trial hoping for additional evidence. 3) Then they took the prisoner back to the scene of the crime, put him in a makeshift jail, Finally and thus gave every chance to a mob. Bannon was seized and lynched. 4) The community is steeped in frontier methods of justice, and Old Testament ideas of retribution. 5) A round of investigations, with the governor assuring us that the matter will not be dropped, ds still in process, To this summary the following recommendations are attached: 1) Speedier execution of the processes of justice, making it impossible to hold a man from the jurisdiction of the district court and from trial for such a long time. 2) More preaching and practice of law ob- servance. The laws against murder are just as applicable to a mob of 80 men as to one man. 3) More preaching of New Testament religion, with the awakening of sharper moral sensitive- ness. 4) Prompt action of the governor pending in- vestigation in suspending sheriffs and other of- ficers where a prisoner is taken from them and lynched or injured. 5) Strengthening by law, the power of the gov- ernor over the county and state officers charged with law enforcement. In this case there is no question of an innocent man having been done to death, which has often happened when @ mob has taken summary action. Neither does Ihave been her strength. Furthermore, the equality in distribution of wealth—due to the influence of the on the ownership of land, to household industry the close union between employer and artisan— ed the country’s social organization from many perplexities that have vexed Europe.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Med- ical Association, and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine The desire to sleep, particularly when it comes at the time when one regularly goes to bed, is normal and consistent with the maintenance of health. ‘When the desire to sleep comes on without apparent cause at any parti- cular time when it is associated with ® pronounced or sudden loss of mus- cular power, which may cause the person to fall, it is a pathologic con- dition and as such demands careful attention by physicians. The recurring desire to sleep with- out apparent cause is called nar- colepsy; sudden loss of muscular tone and power which causes a patient to fall is cataplexy. The cause of this condition is not known. It has been treated by all sorts of remedies, which is an indication that a specific remedy has not yet been found. It has been treated by mental sugges- tion and by the use of various glandu- lar. materials, but thus far none of them has been found to be definitely of virtue. Quite recently workers have re- ported some interesting cases which seem to be benefited by a new rem- edy, so far as modern civilization is concerned, but developed hundreds of years ago by the Chinese. A man 20 years of age found that he fell asleep on all occasions, some- times while standing on the street and talking to friends. If the attack occurred while he was on the sti he usually leaned against sonietiing but had two accidents from leaning against automobiles which moved eway. At first he slept only for three or four minutes, but later as Jong as half an hour. He was given ‘he new remedy and reported consid- erable improvement from its use, A boy 11 years of age had irresisti- ble sleep and was finally dismissed zzom school because other members of his school imitated his behavior. ne would sleep 15 to 30 minutes at a ime. A woman aged 44 had a tendency to fall asleep at church and at social gatherings, which is not in a way an. abnormal tendency. Later, however, she developed loss of initiative and ‘on several occasions had fallen asleep while standing at the cook stove. In each of these cases there was loss of muscular power when the emo- tions were stimulated. Five out of six people who were treated with the new remedy seemed to be definitely relieved of their irresistible desire to sleep, and further study indicates that at last a detinite method of control for this extraordinary disease has been discovered. ——— [_____ BARBS | ————— OO The British army has reduced the length of bayonets from 20 inches to nine.

(Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.) f At the Movies : ee CAPITOL THEATRE Many old customs, known by our forefathers, but long since forgotten, had to be relearned by the players of “The Great Meadow,” Charles Bra- bin’s striking talking picture of pio- neer days in 1775, which will open soon at the Capitol theatre. Readers of the story will remem- ber that it concerns Diony Hall who marries Berk Jarvis and leaves on the dangerous trip with her new hus- band on the morning after her wed- ding. The tale concerns further the ad- ventures of the pair and Evan Muir, Diony’s other admirer, in the pioneer “Fort Harrod,” Kentucky. Among the ancient customs the various players had to relearn for the film were: making windows out of greased bearskin instead of glass; lighting all fires with flint and steel; cooking meat on a spit revolving in an open hearth; molding bullets out of raw lead; building houses with wooden pegs instead of nails; wash- ing clothes with lye and ashes; weav- ing homespun cloth; runni®z a spin- ning-wheel. > | Quotations | Some are almost ready to submit “@\ the Ten Commandments to a refer- endum.—Rev.

TODAY (S THE- ALLIED SUCCESSES On. May 20, the British, Russian, Italian and French armies made im- Portant advances against the Ger- mans. In the campaign of eastern Euro} e, the Russians repulsed German attacks east of Kalncem. In the Balkan campaign the Russians also repulsed German attacks on the Rumanian front east of Koverka. In the Italian campaign, the Ital- Jians extended their positions on Hill 652 and broke into Austrian lines east of Gorizia. In the campaign in western Eu- rope, the British broke into the Hin- denburg line on a front of over a mile | between Fontaine-les-Croisilles and Bullecourt.
