(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Coolidge Still Chooses Not to Run Party managers apparently are clearing the decks for the renomina- tion of President Hoover. In a copy- righted article, Calvin Coolidge has again told the world that he does not choose to run in 1932 and will sup- port the President. Washington correspondents have} been ,hinting that Coolidge had his ear to the ground, and, if drafted by his party, would be a candidate for a third term. Rumors persisted. Former White House attaches gave interviews that all Calvin Coolidge wanted were assurances of a nomi- nation and united party support. Sc persistent were the rumors they be- came embarrassing to the Hoover managers and now Mr. Coolidge, in his own inimitable way, punctures that political bubble. Despite the fact that Washington correspondents say the Coolidge ar- ticle caused a sensation in the na- tional capital, the reverse probably is true. Political leaders knew it was coming and the public generally was! not surprised, especially anyone who has followed the political trend. Those who read Coolidge’s speech at the Harding tomb could have iea| doubt but Coolidge would support) Hoover for renomination. Political regularity is and always has been one of his cardinal principles. ' ‘The Coolidge statement comes at! a time when party spirits are very low, and’ puts a little Ufe into the Grand Old Party, despite bad news from the Missouri congressional elec- tion. If the Democrats control the House next winter, Hoover’s chances of reelection become more gloomy than ever. The Coolidge statemen’ should enthuse party bosses and they may enter the remaining congres- sional elections with more vigor and fervor. The fact that Coolidge denied the rumors so emphatically only proves that the former president's silence was embarrassing the party and it was high time to stem the Coolidge drive. There can be no question as to what Coolidge means by the state- ment of this week. In 1928, the words were susceptible of many interpre- tations. ‘The dullest political ward heeler can read and understand what Coolidge means in 1931. He uses the language of the initiated. Now the party whips will crack. State organizations will be asked to line up. Resolutions will be adopted praising Hoover and the old political fanfare will start. Such is the great American game of politics. A New Generation Despite the fact that Ethel Barry- more gave a mest artistic presenta- tion of Sheridan's great classic, “The School for Scandal,” in Bismarck re- cently, the reaction to the offering indicated that many do not care for Plays of the old school where gra- cious ladies and portly gentlemen strut in stiff velvets and heavy bro- cade. The theater faces a new gen- eration fed up on jazz from the stage. the radio, the band and the orches- tra. Such plays as “The School for Scandal,” “She Stoops to Conquer” and “Lend Me Five Shillings,” which our fathers and mothers thought the last word in entertainment; do not register ‘to the average audience of today looking fg sensation, stage mechanics and great roaring ensem- bles with plenty of anatomical ex- posure. Be that as it may, the Barrymore Production of last week was note- worthy if only for the fact that it pictured @ glory and grandeur of the theater which has gone for the most| part. Whether such artists as Ethel Barrymore can revive a taste for drama of high order in competition. with what fills the theaters today 1s! problematical. A new generation oc- cuples the seats to whom the wit of Sir Oliver and the chatter of a Lady Teazle belong to the horse-and- buggy age. For clever dialogue and rich satire, jadded greatly to the enjoyment of 00 | tender memories. the lines of Sheridan in “The School for Scandal” rank with the best in dramatic literature. Foibles of s0- ciety today are much the same as. those pictured by the pen of a Sheri- dan despite the fact that his char- acters dress differently and talk in @ more stilted manner than today's smart set. It is to be hoped that the appear- ance of a Barrymore here in the flesh is merely a precursor of other tal- ented artists. : The delightful music of the trio the evening. Melodies, favorites of an older generation, called up many Beautiful harmony and fine execution gave the play a happy musical setting. France’s Latest Gesture Creation of a Franco-German eco- nomic commission is the result of the visit of Premier Laval and Foreign Minister Briand of France to Ger- many recently. They repaid a call from Ministers Bruening and Julius of Germany. Both countries have agreed to pool their efforts to over- come, if possible, some of the present economic troubles. The communique announcing a closer agreement between the two nations made it very plain fhat the proposed commission is not directed] against any other nation but to study ways and means for the better dis- tribution of the products of Ger- many and France without recourse to tariff walls or special trade con- cessions. German crowds greeted the French visitors with unprecedented cordial- ity. There were cries, of “vive Bri- and, vive Laval, vive la Paix.” The! situation is both hopeful and encour- aging. Traditional foes fer centur- jes, it is reassuring to a war-weary world that an attempt is being made for an entente cordiale between Ger- many and France. With these nations working to- gether, much can be accomplished to- ward restoring normal world condi- tions. Such amity is essential to economic recovery. Shortly Premier Laval will visit President Hoover. It is not especially to discuss war debts or reparations, but an earnest effort at cooperation for the accomplishment of better world conditions. Armaments doubt- less will form part of the informal discussions and out of the visit should come something of a concrete nature to lighten the heavy load most na- tions are now carrying. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, Intemperance (Duluth Herald) Many have pointed out that doc- trinaire drys, bent on keeping their pet panacea of prohibition despite the palpable hurt it is doing to the nation, have forgotten temperance. Apparently one of them, at least, has also forgotten that there is more than one becoming kind of temper- ance. Besides temperance in eating and drinking, there is also temper- ance in speech. Dr. Clarence True Wilson seems not to have heard) about that. His reaction to the fact that the American Legion voted overwhelm- ingly against his wishes was a tirade of personal abuse of the Legion con- vention and its delegates, such as this: If you had seen the outfit that gathered in Detroit, as I did, you would be surprised that 394 mea could be found who could stand REPULSE GERMAN ATTACK On Oct. 2, 1917, the English re- pulsed @ mass attack between Poly- gon Wood and Menin Road in Flan- ders, causing great losses to the Ger- mans, Ready for the attack, the English mowed down the Germans with rifle and machine gun fire. A correspondent wrote: “There was one officer who spent all his time sniping from a little patch of ground that had once been @ garden. He lay behind the heaped BEGIN HERB TODAY Mi thing they have 2 job only to lo up for the Constitution and de- cency and sobriety. * * * There was @ marked absence of the so- ber, well-behaved, typical Amer- ican, * * * That is why such num- bers of staggering drunks dis- graced the uniform and yelled for beer. There are no other audible observ- ers who saw the Detroit convention as Dr. Wilson saw it, so the inf@rence that rage and resentment colored his vision seems” inescapable. But it was this same man who, ap- parently because Dr. Ada Comstock, president of Radcliffe college end member of the Wickersham law en- forcement commission, took a stand on prohibition which he did not like, recently shouted that Radcliffe col- lege “is one of the wettest, smokiest and loosest colleges in the United States.” Abusing a whole college-full of girls because the president of the college refuses to see prohibition as he sees it is not greatly different from abus- ing a whole convention of war vet- erans because it used its own com- mon sense on the subject. And the time is swiftly coming when Dr. Wil- son may. be expected to emerge with @ very low opinion of the United) States of America, for the same rea- son and with as much justice. At least one notable dry advocate seems to need to be taught that anger is a poor substitute for reason, and that when abuse is substituted for argument it is a pretty sure sign of a man who is irritated by the knowledge that he is licked. Emphasizes Need to Raise Silver Price Salt Lake City, Oct. 2—(#)—Sen- ator Key Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, predicts complete collapse of this country’s foreign trade unless the United States acts to reduce the wide disparity between the value of gold and allver, The senator, who advocates the calling of an international silver con- ference, said that before long all na- tions, with the exception of the Unit- ed States and France, will be off the gold standard and will trade where their money has the greatest value. The statement followed an official declaration from Washington that the United States would adhere to the gold standard. NAMES NEW CHIEF Chicago, Oct. 2—(?)—Mayor Arthur J.

I'll take care of that. Sorry for the girl. Call my secretary about an appointment, will you?” Chris said that she would. She went back to the private office where Norma had been lying on an improvised couch. Chris found her sitting up, pale but otherwise looking natural. “The doctor says you're to take the day off,” Chris announced, “I’m going to take you home and Mr. Stuart's already called a cab for us.” “But I can’t—” Norma began, only to hear her protests routed. “You can certainly do as your boss tells you! These are Mr, Stu- art’s orders. Shall I get your wraps and bring them in here?” Stuart put his head in the door to say that the tax! was waiting. Chris hurried to the advertising office to explain her absence and came back wearing hat and coat. The two girls descended to the ground floor and went out on the street. The cab was drawn up a little to the left. As they stepped in Chris gave the driver the num- ber of Norma’s rooming house, It was a silent ride. Norma leaned back against Chris’ arm and most of the way her eyes were closed. The older girl was strug: sling with her own thoughts, Bat- tling a terrifying new problem. When she did speak it was only to say something reassuring to Norma. The cool air was refreshing. There was the faintest tinge of color in Norma’s cheeks as she stepped down to the walk before the rooming house. Chris paid the driver and dismissed him. “I'm coming in with you,” she told the other girl. “They don't expect me back at-the office for a while.” to in at of er of » Candling the ‘Egg’! ficient size to supply his family with at least part of its winter vegetables, or he will find himself out of a job. —Henry Ford. ene Soviet literature 4 only a dozen years old, and there is no giant of that age—Maxim Gorky. f— BARBS 4 ___ BARBS | “ The gigolo business has gone too| © London bridges, it seems, the only English institutions falling down. eee Steel preferred, you might say. + # & High seas made Mayor Walker sick’ on his trip back.

They fell to talking about old Rie- senweber’s cafe on “the Circle.” This was the first of the night clubs as they now exist. And here it was that the first jazz band got its break. A small cover charge even- tually appeared for the first time. And all the stage folk whose names have since flashed over the world went there to play and eat and sing. There was no fee for their services. A Jolson or a Cantor or a Berlin or a Brice would sing, play or dance just for the fun of it—or to amuse their companions.

Do you think you could send up a hot cup of tea? I’m sure it woyld be good for her.” “Why, for ever more!” It was Mrs. Bixby’s favorite exclamation. “For ever more! Of course I'll fix the tea, I'll bring it right up my- self—" Mrs. Bixby swished out of view. “Anyhow it got rid of her,” Chris "t said, smiling faintly. “You d have to drink the tea, you know.” Norma did not a1 up the stairs and bedroom, Everything was exactly - Norma had left it the night be- re. curs bustled about, raising a window, drawing down the covers of the bed, making Norma get out of her clothes and into a kimono.

When Mrs. Bixby arrived with the steaming cup of tea Norma managed to smile gratefully. The landlady would have lingered but Chris efficiently shooed her out. “Now then,” the older girl said, sitting on the side of the bed, “do you think you can get some sleep, honey? You didn’t have much last night you know.” ‘The muscles about Norma’s lips tightened. “Chris,” she said in a voice barely above a whisper, “did the doctor tell you—?” No use to try to evade those blue eyes. The older girl hesitated. She reached forward, took Norma’s hand in hers, “It’s going to be all right, dear!” she said. “Everything's going to be all right!” Norma turned convulsively, bury- ing her face in the pillow. Her shoulders ‘shook with her sobs. “Don't you see,” she managed to say at last, “don’t you see why T've got to have Mark now? I've —I've just got to have him? Oh, Chris, I don’t want to live without him! “But you don’t know yet--” “Ido! Oh, Ido! It was in that newspaper. I—I read it just before everything went black before my eyes!

She be rated herself for a dozen reasons. “I ought to have told Mark,” she moaned over and over. “I ought to have told him about everything even if it killed me! It was wrong to run away from his father's house, If I’d stayed this wouldn't have happened! It’s all my fault—!” . Chris had all she could do to silence this new outburst. She made promises she knew were im- possible, stalling for time, At length her efforts were successful. Norma lay perfectly still, seemed to relax, “If you'll only shut your eyes now and try to sleep!” Chris urged, “T'll try,” Norma said obediently. She closed her eyes, The older girl s breathing was regular and deep. Minutes passed and then Norma opened her eyes again. “I'm all right now,” she said, “You ought to go back to the office, Chris.” “You're sure there's nothing more you want?” “Nothing.” “And you'll stay right here and try to rest? I'm going to tell Mrs. Bixby to send up your lunch.” “I couldn't eat anything. Honest- ly. Not now.” “Well--a little later then. If you're sure everything's all right T'll go now but I'll be back this evening. Just as soon as I can get here from work.” Norma's eyes were closed and she did not answer. Chris put on her wraps, watched the other girl anxiously for several moments, finally turned without speaking and left the room. She stopped for a consultation with Mrs. Bixby be- fore she boarded a street car bound downtown. Norma heard the outer door close. The house was unusually quiet.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association Human beings are not all built ac- cording to one model. They are tall and short, fat and thin, broad and narrow, robust and slender. An analysis of various types of body build indicates, according to Dr. Robert B. Osgood, that the more se- tious and significant faults of body mechanics are found among people of the slender type of build. This no doubt represents the association that invariably occurs between poor nu- trition and slovenly posture. Among other reasons why special- ists in the diseases of children and opedic surgeons believe there is an intimate relationship between body mechanics and health dre the following: When no actual change in the body tissue can be found, fail- ure to gain weight and digestive dis- turbances, even with a good diet, are Daily Health Service = | MOST POSTURE DEFECTS ‘ARE FOUND IN SLIM PERSONS Failure to Gain Weight Is Related to Posture frequently associated with poor pos< ture.

STICKERS Generals; limitations Pointed Out Tt is not a legal duty of the veter- ans’ service commissioner to act as guardian for incompetent veterans or minor children of disabled or de- ceased veterans, Attorney General James Morris has ruled in an opin- ion given to T. O. Kraabel, veter< ans’ commissioner at Fargo. ~ The opinion was given in reply to an inquiry from Kraabel as tot whether the veterans’ service com- missioner would be entitled to guard- jan’s fees for acting as guardian of - incompetent veterans. Morris stated that if the commis- sioner acts as guardian, he does sq in @ personal and not in an offictal capacity as veterans’ service com- missioner. “You would therefore be entitled to such legal guardian’s fees as might be allowed by the court which shall not exceed five per cent of the i: come of the ward during any year except in event of the rendition of extraordinary services,” Morris said.- He called attention to a law of the 1931 legislature, section 11, chapter Paes regarding extraordinary scrv- ices, “I would further advise you that under section 3 of said chapter, ‘it shall be unlawful for any person to accept appointment as guardian of any ward if such proposed guardian shall at that time be acting as guard- ian for five wards. “In other words, you could not le- gally become guardian for more thai five wards unless they are all mem& ~ bers of the same family as is else- where provided in the act.” AIRWAYS MANAGER NAMED St. Paul, Oct. 2—(7)—Walter R.
