But the business of dairying un- der modern conditions has broad- ened vastly beyond the mere busi- ness of producing good cattle. Som: thing of the scope of these interests is indicated by the fact that the Copenhagen congress will divide its, program into five sections: Breeding) and milk production; chemistry, bac-/ teriology and hygiene; technique, in- dustry and trade; organization, leg- islation and control, and tropical dairy industry.

ABOUT THE RED CROSS Steele, N. D., July 22, 1931. Editor, Tribune: It certainly did warm the cockels of our old heart to read the editorial in the Bismarck Daily Tribune, under date of July 21, wherein the editor took issue with Mr. Payne, of the American Red Cross with reference to his attitude toward the miners of Pennsylvania, What this country is mostly in need of is @ lot of just such editors as the one who wrote that article.

Did he think her so a to get out of the unattractive? Well, she mustn't quarrel with her fate. He had asked her to marry him and she, for reasons of her own, had agreed. The murmur ran along the line. “The Prince!” A discreet, polite murmur. And after an instant, in the suddenly cleared doorwa: appeared.

He smiled. He clicked his héels and bowed from the waist. Liane heard the plump, green velveted matron murmur “Adorable!” in swooning accents. The Prince put out his arm to one of the ladies in his party and the dance began again as suddenly as it had stopped. “Getting tired?” Clive wanted to know. Liane shook her head. She danced dreamily, casually. The throb of the music was in her blood. It was like an enchantment. Ab- ruptly she felt her partner’s arm about her loosen. She looked up into the grinning face of Chuck Desmond, who had said “Cut?” to Clive. . “You!” she gasped, startled, “The kid himself,” Desmond ac- knowledged. “I crashed this party with His Nibs. Used to be a cor- respondent in Slavaria when his father was in power. He makes me drag along wherever he goes and the boss doesn’t mind. It gives me the inside track.” “It’s nice to see you,” Liane told him. And indeed this young man whom Muriel had once described as “devastating” seemed more than ever like a friend and brother to- night. “You're pretty easy on the eye yourself, Lovely,” he told her ad- “Nice doodabs you're LL DD, debutant: ty Liane meets VAN Porter, but pi other men. of convenience. though she dot i ‘TRE!

The Prince is here!” No one had been sure he was coming. The great Hunt ball had been an annual affair in Willow Springs since the first fur kings and railroad barons had built their Victorian palaces there back in the ‘nineties. It was always a gala event even in the rarified atmos- phere of that gilded township. That its date coincided with the visit of His Royal Highness was pure chance. No one had been certain he would actually be present. But here he was. Liane, in a frothy frock of petal chiffon cut demurely low to show her young shoulders was staying close to the kindly Mrs, Cleespaugh. There was about this atmosphere something definitely intimidating. The clipped voices, the assured manners which were not manners at all but sublimated rudenesses, the massaged, scented and ex- quisitely dressed women frightened) and chilled her. She thought, “Is it possible I am ever to enter this circle really as an intimate?” The idea vaguely terrified her. Clive, at her elbow, said, “Dance this?” She looked up at him, grateful for his nearness, for the sense of rightness and security his presence afforded her, As she gave herself, quite impersonally, to his embrace she thought that life would not be! Liane looked down at the pearls on her throat. “They are,” she agreed, “They've been in my flance’s family for years. They're so precious I’m afraid to wear them, really, but he wanted me to tonight.” “So you're ‘joining up with the Junior Leaguers,” Chuck Desmond murmured. “How d’you think you'll like it?” Liane flushed and looked away. She said “Tell me about the Prince, What's he really like?” mond and that resplendent figure appeared in the doorwa: “His Highness wishes to be pre- sented to mademoiselle,” muttered the newspaper man, an audacious gleam in his eye. Clive had risen, stood glowering. But Mrs. Cleespaugh was plainly delighted. Great lady that she was, she found room in her heart to defer to royalty. “Ma’mselle honors me with this dance?” the Prince inquired after the formalities had been completed. eee IANE went down the long stair- ly, angrily. gesticulated wildly. ty, as I said, Mademoiselle has vanished!

They threaded their way through the mazes of the music. Clive’s arm tightened around her. How well he danced! He said, “Sorry,” and steered her deftly around a cruising pair, a plump matron in sea green velvet and her languid escort. Liane thought for an instant that the tight of his arm had heen an impulsive movement. Her pulse had quick- Clive, somewhat stiffly, again. ° “Known that fellow long?” Clive asked in a voice jast a shade too casual. 2 fircely, and began to run. In his train followed quickly the Prince, Chuck Desmond and half a dozen other young men. Tressa who had been sitting at Mrs. Clees- paugh’s side tried to soothe that agitated lady. “ nothing,” she said in her cool, amused'tone. “No'doubt she’s flirting with someone on the ter- race. These men get excited over nothing at all.” Mrs, Cleespaugh bridled angrily. “I fear you are not thinking what you say, Tressa,” she admonished. ‘Tressa bit her lip. “Sorry, was just trying to cheer you,” she said lightly. “Clive will find her. Don’t worry.” Little groups began to gather at the end of the balircom. The orchestra leader lifted an authori- tative baton and a great crashing of jamz ensued. Most of the dancers dancers, thus assured, joined in the fox trot. Meantime Clive, after a frantic questioning of a sleepy footman or two, elicited the information that an unrecognized car had left the ranks a few moments before driving (the man thought) west. He was not positive of the direc- tion. “And it’s a gry, clear night. Not a chance of ruts or tracks,” muttered Clive. The Prince’s car was being brought around. With two men on the box, it was an im- posing vehicle of slate gray and chromium plate. His Highness sprang within, beckoning Chuck Desmond to follow, “You chaps go along, said. “I’m driving my own ca!

She passed Tressa who favored her with a cool, inter- ested stare. Tressa was sinuous and lovely in black. She thought childishly that it would be nice if Van Robard might be there to see her dancing with the Prince. Make him sorry—. Sorry for what? All this seemed the veriest fabric of a dream. The room, the shim- mering fabrics, the music, the scent of rare perfumes. Most un- real of all seemed Liane herself, an insubstantial figure in pale rose gossamer, treading the measure with a prince of the blood. “In half a minute,” she thought, “I'll wake up to find myself on the fold- ing bed in the apartment, reaching for the alarm clock and dashing to get breakfast.” His Highness sald, “Mademoiselle waltzes as‘if on air.” Liane smiled up at him. “It ts my partner who dances well,” she returned. She thought, I'm Cinderella. ‘What if the clock strikes 12? ‘They danced into a little covert of chrysanthemums and silken “Rest?” her escort asked. “One grows fatigued?” “Not at all,” Liane assured him. But already he was drawing out a little gilt chair, offering her a cigar >t. “Modemoiselle does not wish? But how refreshing! He mar veled at her. “Ab, this is pleasant.” They were a little withdrawn from the ballroom. The music came ¢o them faintly muted. Liane thought of Clive whose blue eyes) would search the dancers for her in vain. ‘The Prince lifted a curtain which concealed a little door, “This leads to the balcony,” he said softly. “Let us find ourselves some air.

MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association) Among the saddest of diseases to occur to mankind is the death of a mother from infection during child- birth. This condition, scientifically called puerperal septicemia, has dis- turbed the minds of medical men for years. Methods have been developed for preventing infection in childbirth which seem to be able to control the condition in the vast majority of cases, Attempts have been made to disseminate this knowledge among physicians, midwives and prospective mothers, but for some reason rates do not seem to decline very rapidly. For seven years vast sums of money have been spent in the United States under legislation which provided for the use of government funds for this purpose. Unfortunately the money spent does not seem to have in- fluenced greatly the control of puer- peral sepsis. Recently Dr. G. E. Harmon of the Western Reserve University has ana- lyzed the deaths from this cause in the United States for the period from 1922 to 1927 inclusive. The figures show that there certainly has been no tendency for the rates to decline in the city white, city colored, or rural colored of the population. Among white people living in the country the rates seem to have had @ slight tendency to decline, but in view of the shortness of the period studied this is not believed to have much significance. ere seems to be no doubt that vise women give birth to children in hospitals under well controlled conditions and when the chlidbirth is attended by 8 competent physician who understands thoroughly the methods of prevention of put ‘al infection, the rates can be greatly re+ duced. Unfortunately the vast maj- ority of women do nét give birth to children under such optimum condi- tions. There is reason to believe that extension of education and the gradual development of hospitals throughout the country will eventual- ly provide for the care of an increas- ing number of cases under improved conditions, but it hardly seems likely that at any time in the next century will the vast majority of cases of childbirth be so provided for. Certain conditfons of disease are intimately associated with economio conditions. People living in damp cellars, people who are not led with sufficient fuel and food, suffer from conditions which, of course, do not affect those who are well provided for. Until Utopia is reach- ed, women in childbirth whose chil~ dren are born attended by ignorant or careless midwives, whose children are born under filthy conditions, are likely to suffer in a considerable num< ber of cases with puerperal infec« tion. The distribution of pamph~ lets explaining these facts to the poverty stricken and to the midwives is helpful from an educational point of view, but it is hardly likely to do a great deal in lowering the incidence of the condition or the death rate. war poured gifts into its coffers and storehouses in an avalanche of gen- erosity that staggered the world. And then, in 1920, on the 30th day of June, long after all hostilities had ceased across the waters, we are in- formed and verily believe, that of that vast amount of wealth so gen- erously bestowed upon the American Red Cross by mothers and fathers who could all afford it, it still had on hand wealth as follows: Cash in bank in the United States $25,917,549.84, cash in Europe $4,747,048.41, cash in Red Cross divisions $1,613,124.05, se- curities owned $1,817,072.83, endow- ment fund $2,513.960.50, estimated cost of supplies $35,508,000, reserve fund Liberty bonds $10,000,000, mak- ing in all the neat sum of $105,236,- 755.63. g Now we naturally presume that this sum was given to the Red Cross by donors who expected it would give it away to the boys over-seas; and was not given with’ the expectation that it would be sold to them at a profit; and, had it been handled as intended by said donors, no such an enormous sum as herein before enu- merated would have been on hand at the end of the war. Just whose money is this that Mr. Payne gbjects so strenuously to giving to the miners and their starving children? We wonder—Oh, perish the thought—if it can be possible that Mr. Payne is afraid to exhaust the funds and thereby deprive himself of a very lucrative position. If our statement is true with refer- ence to the amount on hand at the close of the World war—and we be- lieve it is—then to the best of our| knowledge, information, and belief, the American Red Cross has never, at any time, during any year since the Armistice was signed, spent for charity’s sake even the interest on this gigantic sum. At 4 per cent per annum, the interest would amount to $5,000,000. We wonder if children of miners and other working men are not as much entitled to a part of this huge sum—even though they cannot directly attribute their dire necessity cause of alleged Norwegian aggres+ sions, as the melancholy Dane? * oe *K And to think that the Reich, bud for a letter, might be rich. i Se."

D., July 23.—()—Nearly 100 Cass county taxpayers appeared before the Cass county commission at the court house Thursday to enter @ vigorous appeal for a further slash in the county budget tentatively fixed at $447,075. Recommendations for elimination of the county agent, reduction in sal- aries of county officials, reduction in the force of road maintainers, a re- duction in the entire road-building to an act of God—as are those whg) Program, a reduction in the amounts are so wicked and sin ridden that they can easily see that God had it in for them when he caused the ca- lamity that befell them. ‘We wonder, if Mr. Payne were in a state of starvation—which he will never be as long as his job holds out —but if he was, and had sent out the 8. O. 8, we wonder if he would like it if the one who was to succor him would ask, before delivering the goods, whether or not Mr. Payne thought God had anything to do with his plight. We are informed, and we state ‘upon information and belief, that when one does ask aid of the Red Cross, that before it is forthcoming one is visited by a representative of that organization and thoroughly examined before any relief is ex- tended. We do not know the actual nature of the examination; but we presume that the representative goes over the petitioner carefully; feels over the little tummy, and, if it feels like it could hold 25¢ worth of food, Provided for the three courts, district, county and juvenile, and reductions in the amount provided for building maintenance of the county hospital were among the specific suggestions for reductions in the budget made by sores mares.
