(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) I CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON) Start Drive for Funds Bismarck has delayed its drive for Red Cross and Community Chest funds a week so as to meet more efficiently local demands. Next Tues- day initiates the combined campaign to support both of these necessary and vital community efforts for poor relief and support of several civic! ventures. Social welfare afiairs In Burleigh county have been in excellent hands for years and the same administra- tion, for the most part, is retained intact for probably what is the most important drive since the war. Teams and committees will be busy; for the next week or 10 days and the | response must be more generous than in past years because the demands are greater. Unemployment relief work has been added to the usual! normal demands“upon the Red Cross and Community Chest. No one can tell just what funds will be neces- sary so the budget has been framed with the idea of taking care of all contingencies. Bismarck and Burleigh county, in the past, have met all demands of this kind cheerfully. There should be *no deviation from that policy next week. There are farm homes as well as city neighborhoods where ! the: pinch of want is felt. These homes! must have help during the winter which is almost upon us. Welfare} workers who have been conducting a} survey for weeks know fairly well what is needed to carry the needy families through to spring. It is safe to accept their figures. | Little time need: be spent in ex- plaining to the citizens the need of the drive and the eppeal for a larger budget. No one should be ignorant of the necessity for relief. In years gone by the canvass for funds has been taken as a perfunctory matter. The budget has been set at so much; and the money quietly raised with- out much fuss or feathers, The emergency today is different. Unless the more fortunate citizens of Burleigh county contribute to those suffering through no fault of their} own, there will be actual distress in the city and county districts. There need be no such distress if those who are able only aid to the full extent of their ability. There are enough re- sources in the county, properly mar- shalled, to make sure that no one goes hungry this winter. If the appeal for funds is generally answered, the burden on anyone is not going to be a hardship. There are some community obligations that must be met. This combined drive ds one of them and Burleigh county, as usual, must reach, if not exceed, the assigned quota. ——_ Goy. Roosevelt and Tamman Admirers of Gov. Franklin D Roosevelt are growing cold toward him because of his attitude toward the revelations of Tammany corrup- tion in New York City. The New York Times in the past has written Some very warm words in praise of the governor. In a recent issue The Times made this very significant statement: “Still another element may en- ter into the coming election. Gov- ernor Roosevelt is to return to the State within a week. He has done, however coldly, his official duty in regard to the legislative inves- tigation of this city, He signed the bills providing the money for it. He stood with Judge Seabury that kind of politics, would it not mean a great swelling of the anti- Tammany vote? And if the Gov- ernor does not, in this way or some other, let it be known that he is shocked by the whole cor- rupt crew, his moral leadership, if not his political acumen, will seriously be brought into ques- tion.” Not long ago some New York pro- gressives, headed by eminent educa- jtors, declared that the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt by the Democrats for president would be more of a blow to the progressive cause than the naming of former Governor Al. .20 | Smith. There seems to be a growing feeling in the Empire State that Roosevelt is not as incensed as he should be over the political manipulations of Tammany Hall. The Times, in its editorial, probably reflects correctly what a number of prominent New York Democrats are thinking. As the Tammany scandals grow, it would seem that Gov. Roosevelt will enter the next Democratic national convention under a@ terrific handi- cap.

Presidential Primaries (New York Times) In four months from now Repub- licans and Democrats who intend to seek the Presidential nominations at their party conventions in June must undergo the first test of their popu- larity. Nominating petitions for Tili- nois’s primary, held in April, must be filed early in February. Two weeks later thog who seek the preference of Ohio must personally make a dec- laration’ of their candidacies; those wishing to be delegates must do the same. This requirement under the Ohio law is what has most con- cerned friends of ex-Secretary Baker, to whom the state’s Democratic pref- erence is conceded if he will but ex- press a wish to have it. But that would make him an active candidate, and thus far there is no indication on Mr. Baker’s part that he is willing to be one. Since Simon Michelet, in 1928, pub- lished his pamphlet of Presidential primaries, there have been no changes in the state laws with respect to these. He listed nineteen states which by the primary method can elect dele- gates and alternates to the national conventions, but only fifteen of these vote directly for Presidential candi- dates. In Alabama and Florida the party committee may designate either the primary or the convention meth- od for the choice of delegates. In New York only the district delegates are chosen in the primary; the dele- gates-at-large are appointed. But, either by choosing a set of delegates |pledged to a particular candidate, or by voting for the candidates direct, the following states, beginning in March, 1932, will decide their Presi- dential preferences: New Hampshire, North Dakota (in March); Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Illinois, Ne- braska, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio (in April); California, Mary- land, Indiana, New Jersey, Oregon, West Virginia and South Dakota (in May). Since there is no doubt of President Hoover's renomination by the Republicans, interest will center in the Democratic primaries and the strength shown in them by Governor Roosevelt. In February he, too, must become an open candidate, though, should Mr. Baker declare in Ohio, Mr. Roose- velt may decide not to contest the issue there. But early in March he must meet a similar requirement from North Dakota, so that it will be only a matter of a week or two before New York's governor—if he has not pre- viously done so— will be an avowed candidate. The election laws are many and diversified. Indiana, for instance, requires a “majority” in the primary before a preference is held to be ex- pressed. Massachusetts delegates may not declare for any candidate until he consents in writing. The intricate “precinct proposal” method of South Dakota is fearful and wonderful. But by April what doubt may exist as te whom the Democrats favor will prob- ably,/have been dispelled. BELGIUM'S STRENGTH On Oct. 17, 1917, an official state- ment was given out setting forth Belgium's fighting strength. She had, the statement said, 120,- 000 men on the 25-mile Belgian fir- ing line. Back of these were 100,000 more in training or reserve, and back of these, a fully equipped munitions system and base and transport or- | ganization. are produced in Belgian munitio and wounded men.

For years Al was press agent of the/ jhistoric hotel, and established him- self as something of an authority in; his book titled, “Peacocks on Pa- rade.” “You have heard a lot of stories about Oscar, whose name has be-| come known around the world,” re-; minisced Al. “But I wonder if you've; ever heard this one. Well, the old Hoffman House was owned and oper- ated by Ed Stokes, who shot his way into the limelight when he.put a bul- let throughsJim Fiske, the gambler and sportsman—or maybe the public will remember him best in connec- tion with the Erie Railroad scandals. Or maybe they’ll recall that the shooting grew out of jealousy over one Josie Mansfield. “But to get around to Oscar: Stokes owned a grand yacht. The Parties staged thereon were the sub- ject of many whisperings. Naturally, the cuisine must be perfect, and the attention to entertainment details must be the last word. Stokes looked about his Hoffman House routine for | someone properly fitted to be chief steward and major domo of his yacht. Stokes picked his favorite waiter. The waiter’s name was Os-! car.” eee Berry Wall has become known through the years as “king of dudes.” But it was a bright young reporter named Blakely Hall who is credited with creating the legend. Wall was) “good copy,” and Hall knew it. His| stories attracted so much attention! that a competing newspaper looked about for a rival, and selected Rob- ert Hilliard, the famous actor of yesteryear. The two papers began @ “battle of the wardrobe,” each backing the chosen candidate. Hil- lard happened to be appearing in a western melodrama. In his role of gambler, he wore a pair of patent leather hip boots. One night in mid-March, New York found itself “snowed in.” Hilliard, with his cronies, were prisoned by the bliz- zard. Then, warmed by a few whis- kys and soda, the actor thought of/ @ way to outsmart Barry Wall. Of| course—the hip boots! A few mom- ents later, to the admiration of his admirers, Hilliard was making his} way hip deep to the Hoffman House, where his cronies had gathered. Barry Wall saw and frowned. Weeks passed before the “chief dude” was quite himself again. * % % And here is a tale of the old Wal- dorf’s opening as Crockett passed it on to me—one I had not heard be- fore, by the way: Yes, everyone who was anyone had turned out. And the “berthas” had made their appearance as an important feminine vogue. And social history had been made— and all that. But none in the crowd of gay first-night merry-makers knew of tragedy and confusion be- hind the scenes. It seems that while the gala din- jmer was being served, the body of a young woman—a dishwasher in the pantry—had been found at the foot of the elevator shaft. Thirty-four specially engaged pantry workers suddenly refused to go on. They put on their coats and walked out. And on this historic night, the as- sistant steward went out into the street and hired bums and tramps as fast as he could pick them from the;the Community Chest. sidewalks. The great piles of valu- able silver and glassware was washed that night by an army of the city’s lerelicts!

The allotment from the Community Chest is added’ to funds received by the Salvation Army from other sources. This ore ganization is particularly active in relieving the poor during the Thanks» giving and Christmas holidays. Red Cross Is Active The Burleigh county chapter of the Red Cross required about $4590 for! its operations of last year.

Some of the expenditures of the local Red Cross for last year in- cluded: relief work of all natures, about $800; corrective work, $400; aid for crippled children, $500; main- tenance of office, $600; home service for ex-servicemen, $250; home serv- ice for service men, $300; life-saving and first aid work, $75; disaster re- Nef $1,051, and national Red Cross dues, $625. A total of $900 of the juvenile} band’s $1,100 goes toward the salary of the director. The remaining $200 is used for purchasing music and maintenance of the organization. Up until last year an additional $260 was allowed the band for the purchase of new instruments. Over a period of eight or 10 years the band has accumulated $2,000 worth of instruments, which are fully insured. “Santa Claus and his reindeers”! were brought here last Christmas by At the same Chest were used to erect a huge Christmas tree, with vari-coiored \lights, on the Northern Pacific pas- senger depot property, to amuse Bis- | marck children during the Christmas period. Other Drives Avoided Donations to the N, D. Children’s Home, Florence Crittenton Home, St. John’s Orphanage, and N. D. House of Mercy are made annually from the Community Chest fund in place of having these institutions make in- dividual drives here, according to Supreme Court Justice A. M. Chris- tignson, chairman of the Community Chest. Christianson pointed out that though these institutions are located in Fargo they are state-wide estab- lshments. He said that Burleigh county always has some persons in these institutions and that they are cared for cheaper there than would be possible if the county undertook the work independently here. The community council spent $500 of its allotment in rent for its rest room and nursery and $365 for a ma- tron’s salary. In addition $25 went for equipment of the rooms, $12.50 for lights, and $26 for incidentals. Since this total was over the allot- ment, some of the money spent was drawn from the council’s balance from the preceding year. Conducts Health Work The council also received some money from the Christmas Seal fund for use in health work. Health work in the schools, including physicial ex- aminations, supplying of glasses, car- ing for teeth and tonsilectomies, med- ieal care, hospital bills, and some clothing, cost the council $472. Free milk distributed to needy school chil- dren cost $324. The girls’ work council began the year with a total of $940.75, including the $785 allotment from the Com- munity Chest, $15 in donations, and| a balance of $140.75 from the year! before. Of this sum, $106.25 went for main- tenance of the Girl Scout organiza- tion, expenditures including national organization and membership fees of $10 per troop and small sums for books, pins, and other equipment. Salaries for workers took $559.95, in- cluding $349.95 fora part-time worker, $10 for assistants, $100 for a director at Camp Chan Owpal, and $100 for playground directors. Equipment for girls’ clubs cost $19.62 while playground equipment took $27.50. Miscellaneous camp expenses ‘were $18.27, community council dues were $4, and $1 was spent for inci- dentals. Total expenditures were $736.59, leaving a balance of $204.16 on hand at the present time.

Nothing Should Be Poked to Determine Wh By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medival Association ably next to what is called a “jump- ing” toothache for painfulness. Dr. Joseph Hopper lists some of the common causes of earache. The average man can guess at the cause of his stomachache or even at the is necessary in order to make a cer- tain diagnosis. Sometimes an earache is brought about by @ boil or an inflammation in the canal leading from the exte- rior down to the ear drum. There was @ time when any good toilet kit had an ear spoon as one of the ac- cessories. The ear spoon disappeared long before the toothpick lost caste in polite society. It is now good ad- vice never to put anything into the ear smaller than the elbow, and it has to be a small elbow indeed that can get inside the outer orifice. When a boil begins in the canal it is accompanied by swelling, and the swelling means pain. The boil in the canal will come to a head just like a boil anywhere else in the body. When it comes to a head it bursts and the swelling is relieved. With the relief of swelling comes relief from the pain. When there is a boil or even a severe pimple, pulling on the ear is painful and pressure in front or behind the ear, even as slight as may be brought about by chewing or movement of the jaws will exag- gerate the pain. In such cases noth- ing at all may be visible from the outside. However, the physician who Thomas J. Burke, L. E. Birdzell, Gor- don Cox, F. C. Ellsworth, H. Frahm, C. L. Foster, F.

In the meantime, it is well to re- member that the boil begins where the skin has been broken or irritated, and that any manipulation of the canal for the removal of wax or the use of any hard instrument inside the canal may be the first step to- ward the formation of a boil. The second and more frequent cause of earache is infection behind the ear drum. This usually occurs from extension of infection in the throat through the eustachian tube. This tube connects the back of the nose with the middle ear. Forced blowing of the nose forces the infec- tious matter from the back of the nose into the ear. Then comes the hardness of hearing, the swelling, the’ pain, the fever, and all of the symptoms associated with ear infec- tion. The expert who looks into the ear will see the ear drum red, swol- len and bulging. In order to prevent the extension of the infection to the mastoid, withthe development of mastoditis, it may be necessary to puncture the ear drum and thus to permit the infectious material to come dut. This will not, of course, cause permanent injury to the hear- ing, provided the puncture is made soon enough to prevent destruction and damage of the important tissues.
