(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ‘ Foreign Representatives | SMALR, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON It Is Everyone's Job Figures made public not long ago by the American Red Cross indicate @ widespread demand for assistance. In 10 months just passed 2,500,000 Persons have received relief in the drought regions alone. More than 20,000 persons were being aided in North Dakota, Montana and por- tions of Washington and the number 4s increasing daily as winter sets in. During the 10-month period re- ferred to, the public contributed more than $10,000,000 for drought relief by the Red Cross treasury. There is now less than $5,000,000 in the Red Cross treasury available for drought relief. This amount will fall far short of meeting the de- mands which cold weather is bound to multiply. Hence the necessity for the intensified drive now in progress in Bismarck and other cities of the nation as well as in rural communi- ties where farm produce is being given where cash is not available. It is everyone's job. Those who have steady positions must give so that the unemployed may not suf- fer. Regular charitable institutions, independent of the Red Cross, must carry on with their problems doubled by present conditions. This means that in addition to Red Cross contri- butions, local charity budgets must be maintained. There are budgets other than governmental ones :-which must he balanced this fall. On some days the Red Cross had more than 460,000 families on its rolls. Lunches have been served to some 184,000 pupils in more than 3,000 schools. It is not necessary to expand the statistics. These new figures are enough to give the people a picture of the great relief work going on over the nation. The American people gave generously for war relief, a, scourge which never reached Ameri- can soil. Now the suffering is in our midst. It can be seen and the re- sponse should be more prompt and more generous than during the war, when quotas were exceeded in nearly every section of the nation. There is no agency that can meet the present demands for succor but, the American Red Cross. It is or- ganized and in the field and unless the dollars are sent to the relief zones, in many states misery will) grow and people will starve despite the fact that this nation is still the richest in the world and food abounds| regardless of the business depres- sion. It would be a reproach for any community to fall short of its quota. ‘The ambition should be to exceed it and show that the quality of our mercy is not strained. Just a Political Skirmish Democrats at Jamestown probably only voiced a preference for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is rather early in the political season to bag ® winner. The name Roosevelt has always been a good political bet in North Dakota and the Democrats who met recently know that they cannot stir up much opposition in picking Roosevelt despite the fact that he is @ wet, if not as militantly moist as Al Smith. There may be other Democratic presidential aspirants who will file in the North Dakota presidential pri- maries which will be held in March. If “Al” and “Frank” who have fought 60 many political battles together are to part, it is even within the realm of possibility that the two distin- guished New Yorkers will appear on the North Daketa ballot. The reaction of North Dakota Democrats to the naming of Roose- velt will be awaited with more than ordinary interest. Backers of Roose- ‘velt have been putting the soft pedal on his wet convictions. His power and Conservation policies have been em- Phasized. Friends of the governor of New York are willing to let former Governor Smith carry the wet bur- den. ‘This endorsement of Roosevelt may be only a beating about the political and an additional $5,000,000 was given! taster than thelr significance can be ‘The Bismarck Tribune bushes. Another Moses may be found fi to lead the cohorts of North Dakota Democrats before next March rolls around. A Political Pariah Premier MacDonald's position in the English campaign is unique in the political annals of that nation. It probably ts the most difficult and trying ordeal of his entire career. In London he receives the plaudits of the crowds. They hail him in en- dearing terms. He feels that he has done his nation a real service in the encouraging environment of No. 10 Downing street, but when he appears 00] before his constituents in the bicak village of Seatham, it is a different matter. He is met by hecklers and opponents who do nof pay any at- tention to the dignity of his high office. They ask leading and eni- barrassing questions. He has been a dropped from the party's rolls. Vir- tually he is a man without a party, a veritable political pariah. Some of the old constituents stay by him. Among the miners he seems to have a strong following, but the labor party machine is making it as hard for MacDonald as it can. Boos and coarse epithets greet him and {his arguments are often answered by hisses and catcalls. The English premier is paying a heavy price for his political courage. It would have been much easier to have gone with the crowd rather than be true to honest convictions and turn friends into foes, supporters in- to detractors, If he wins, however, some of the support now denied him is bound to return. There are political experts in England who predict his triumph and a return to office as head of the national cooperative government which is to last only until England has passed through its present crisis. New Worlds for Science to Conquer When Professor Robert A. Millikan |remarks that the new discoveries about cosmic rays are apt to change the world’s ideas on the origin and destiny of the universe, he simply em- Phasizes the fact that new realms of knowledge are opening up these days appreciated. A few decades ago it was felt that science had come fairly close to a final understanding of matter. The limits to the possibilities of human knowledge were not far off. Then came a host of new discover- ies that revealed a whcle series of new horizons beyond what had been thought to be the final one. Dr. Mil- likan’s discovery of the cosmic rays is only one among a group. Science is facing new mysteries infinitely more profound than the ones it be- lieved it had solved a generation ago.

Not By Bread Alone (New York Times) In the plans for relief this winter it should be kept in mind by all that| man does not live by bread alone. The spirit, the morale, of the indi- vidual is in even greater need of nourishment in such times. The president in a recent message to the recreation workers in America and Canada emphasized this, saying: All agencies which help to build health and character are espe- cially necessary in these days and merit whole-hearted and gener- ous support. Mr. Gifford, chairman of the presi- dent's Organization on Unemploy- ment Relief, while stressing the un- employment relief programs, added: It is important, however, that localities give careful considera- tion to a well-rounded commu- nity program and undertake to carry forward health work where needs will be increased; child care, which will present even greater demands if the welfare of children is to be looked after, and that considerable group of activities of so-called character- building agencies for whose serv- ices there has probably never been a greater need, if the morale of the young people and adults is to be maintained. The Family Association of Amer- ica, composed of 240 welfare agencies in the principal cities of the United States and Canada, which gave direct, relief to more than four million per- sons last year, saying that there Should be general agreement with Mr. Gifford’s “understanding attitude,” urges that only the most urgent calls, for the necessities of life should make us neglect the elements of play and character-strengthening as a neces- sary part of a community's good life. A lowering of public health and mor- ale would of necessity result in great- er demands upon family welfare agencies. It is paramount that the con- structive program of a city, its family case work, its child care, its public health work, its recrea- tional service, must not be al- lowed to deteriorate because of the winter's extraordinary de- mands for unemployment relief. As these services were supported when all the resources of the nation were required to win the war, so they should now be continued in the same spirit. Our relief needs must be met, not at the expense of essential com- munity services, but through the pro- vision of additional resources to meet the total demand. It cannot be that America is not able to face such an emergency. It is a time for every one who has and to spare to make sacrifice. This is the price that the individual must pay if he is to keep his freedom. Taking from the sup- Port of these services would be a weakening of the whole social struc- ture. What is needed must come from a more rigorous personal econ- omy and more generous sharing. The country should find zest in meeting New York, Oct. 22—St. Andrew's church, in the Park Row eection, 1s one of the few churches that has held a special mass for newspaper printers and nightworkers. In those days when the “row” was to newspapermen what the Palace is; to vaudeville players, scores of work- ers in the varied journalistic crafts would gather at the 2:30 mass. When the old morning World became the World-Telegram and moved away, it’ was thought that this unique service would also pass. But it is being con- tinued, and in the early morning hours the toilers in the back room of newspaper shops still attend. For months after the World passed, Harry Hansen, the nationally known) book reviewer who went to the World- Telegram, insisted on using his old) desk. A lone figure in the ¢avernous emptiness of the famous old city room, he would return to his familiar seat to write his daily column.

What could be the matter with Cornelia, that she should behave like that? At Mary's call, Dirk wheeled about so abruptly that the clinging girl toppled and almost fell. “Come quick, Dirk! Something terriole has happened!” Without a backward look, Dirk came running and took the steps to her side in a single bound. “What's wrong? You look scared to death, honey,” he asked wor tiedly. The terror in her eyes stabbed him with concern. His arm went about her protectingly. They drew away, out of Cornelia’s hear- ing and lowered their voices some- what. Mary poured out her story in an excited jumble, almost crying witb the joy of relief, “Do you think it’s anything to do with Eddie?” she asked anxiously. Dirk laughed and patted her shoulder. In spite of herself, Mary felt reassured. “That kid? Why, you're all mixed'up. This is something else. That kid wouldn’t hurt a fly!” He pressed her hand comfortingly and they started for the house. Dirk called sharply, “Coming, Connie?” Cornelia, still standing where he had left. moved forward con- vulsively is command. They had reached the loggia when Teddy Doulton lumbered to- ward them out of the darkness, cursing earnestly, and seized upon them as an audience for his griefs. “Damned idiot!” he exclaimed fervently, rubbing his drooping shoulder. “Ran into me down in the bushes and knocked the breath out of me. And not a word to ex- cuse it—not a word!” They did not listen. “Have you seen Mr. Jupiter?” Mary paused to ask. “Have I seen him? No. Ask me it I've seen Jack Dempsey. Yes! ‘Who was the fool, anyhow? Whad- daya ask such people for?” “Whot” They could not wait for ‘his answer. It was all meaningless chatter anyway—he was drunk enough to have collided with the side of the house. “That fool I just met. Listen!” he called, plaintively, after them. “You know what—” “Keep still about Eddie,” Dirk said to Mary in a low voice as they entered the house, “till we see what's what. No use mizing him up in it unless we have to. He might have a bad time.” oe U biped ballroom was deserted now, except for the musicians, who were packing up their instruments. The subdued babble from the din- ing room indicated that supper was still going on. It was all at once @ topsy-turvy world. The Jupiter mansion no longer belonged to its owner, in county police headquarters. The cream of Southampton’s younger set found themselves herded into the ballroom for questioning along with a frightened huddle of ser- vants. It was hours before the questioning, the running up and downstairs, the choking breath of flashlight powder, the hurrying to and fro, ceased. The murderer, it seemed, had got clear away. Search of the grounds had failed to show any evidence of his coming or going; both the man- ner of his entrance and of his exit were unaccounted for. This much they gleaned from what they could overhear. Whoever the intruder was, he had done a clean-cut job of it. As the checking of evidence went on, it began to appear that no one except Mary had direct evi- dence of any sort. And that was pitiably little and of no practical use, “I can’t,” Mary was forced to ad- mit, in reply to Inspector Kane’s earnest urging to recall the man’s voice she had heard in the mur- dered woman's room. “It wasn’t a voice exactly—it was just a growl, a—ah, I can’t explain it. It was just @ sound anyone might have made in his throat if he were angry. You'd say if you heard tt that he was mad enough to kill.” “It didn’t remind you of any voice you'd ever heard before?” “Why, no!” She was obviously startled. eee TH! inspector frowned thought- fully. “What I am getting at,” he was . “What's wrong? You look scared to death, honey,” Dirk said. “Well, I do, too. I think he’s on the level when he says he kept everybody out that hadn’t been in- vited. He had a real argument with one man, he says—nearly threw him out. But Lord, there are a dozen loop-holes. Nobody checked on the cars that came and went, and there were plenty of windows open. Those doors over there,” he indicated the French doors opening onto the loggia, “were open when I came in. What do we know about those black horn- tooters? Not a thing.” He shook his head. If he had meant to throw Mary off guard by this'confidential mo- ment, he succeeded, for she changed color when he asked abruptly: “What were you doing upstairs, Miss Harkness? When you heard the sounds you speak of, and the shots?” “I—went up to see how Mrs. Jupiter was,” Mary faltered. “Some- one told me she was tired and had gone to her room to rest.” “You were—alone, up there?” “Why, yes.” What did he mean, Mary wondered fearfully, What did he know? But his question had had a dift- ferent meaning, she soon saw from its effect on Dirk. He turned first ted, then white, and jumped to his feet. He drew a deep breath. “She certainly was alone,” he things happen every day. No use having tender feelings. I'm just trying to find out what's what.” He tilted his head toward the siggling, milling mob of girls and men who were surging about 3 young officer named Hayes, whose job it was to take down their names and addresses before letting them 80. Tho indignities of search were over, “Look at that mob. Unless we got fingerprints, and I doubt it, we got about as much chance of find- ing the guy who did this as it it never happened. The crook that pulled this was smart. I'll say he was. Everything set to cover up for him, Nobody even heard the shots, except Miss Harkness here, and a few that didnt know what they were when they did hear ‘em, “Any one of them smart kids could have pulled the trick, and hid the gun. And how are we gonna find out who did it?” “But how about the jewels?” Mary asked. “We'll find 'em,” the officer said gloomily. “We got to. That's every damn thing we've got to go on. But it’s going to take time, waiting for them to turn up.” eee looked like a man in the last throes of depression, but Mary was not sure he was quite sincere. His keen eyes, roving the room, watching the movements of his as- sistants, the way he pricked up his ears when anyone entered, gave an impression of alertness that his easy-going air belied. For all his conversatiogal attitude toward Dirk and Mary, he had not let them go yet—officially. i Detective Byrne came straight to Kane and reported that every car een searched before leaving the grounds, with no results. “Any of them Lorimors?” Kane asked. Byrne snapped his fingers re gretfully. “Damn! I forgot to look for that.” He thought a mo- ment intently. “No, I'm positive there wasn’t a Lorimor in the lot.” Inspector Kane prepared to move “Well—no offense, young lady?” He got up off the gilt chair he had been straddling. “Have a cigaret?” He held out a crumpled pack, which Mary declined. “Don't smoke, eh?” Mary shook her head. ‘ell, lotsa girls don’t. My wife don't.” He appeared to be trying to cover up any awkwardness he had caused. When the rush fer wraps and homeward-bound motors had cleared the room, all that remained were the group of officers, Mary and Dirk, the housekeeper, Mrs. War- ren, and, busily speeding the part- ing guests, Spence. 2 Once Inspector Kane asked in a low voice, “Where's the old man? Up there?” pointing to the ceiling. Byrne nodded. “Let him stay.” The servants, those who re mained, were released and sent off to bed.

And two witnesseS would be better than one.” “I see no reason nor excuse,” kind enough to explain to them both, in a lowered tone, “is the pos- sibility of an inside job. The but- ler—do you trust him?” “Absolutely!” It was a relief to effect, but to Inspector Kane, and the men who came with him from be on safe ground. ‘The inspector sighed. Dirk said stifly, “for your thinking of such a thing.” The detective was not riled. Mary was hiding something, he thought, but it was not a love tryst, “Listen, buddy,” he told the slowering Dirk firmly, “stranger men, whose job had been quizzing the servants. “They don’t know: nothing,” was the other’s disgusted report “They're like a lot of sheep.” “Get ‘em all? Sure you didn't miss anybody?” he asked sharply. The detective retrieved @ list from his hip pocket, where he bad just stuffed it, and scanned it. “Two,” he said. “A maid named Bessie and @ chauffeur. Nobody knows where they've gone.” , (To Be Continued) What had Bessie: , By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association There seems to be in certain fami- lies a tendency toward what is called allergy, a form of sensitivity where- by the taking into the body of cer- tain forms of protein results in symp- toms that are known as allergic symptoms. For example, hay fever and asthma may run in families— one member of a family may have hay fever, another another may break out with eruptions of hives on eating certain foods. When both parents suffer from some form of sensitivity, there is a likelihood that at least one-half their children will probably develop some form of sensitivity during life. These allergic manifestations may skip one generation and the mother and father be free, whereas the children display various types of allergy. In- vestigations made with the special idea of allergy in mind revealed some family history of sensitivity in ai- most 60 per cent of cases. In one serles of cases, when both mother and father had sensitivity, 90 per cent of the children developed such & condition within the first 10 years of life. The nature of the sensitivity de- veloped, as pointed out by Dr. War- ren T. Vaughan, depends latgely on the conditions in which one lives. Thus people who live in the British Isles develop hay fever chiefly from exposure to grasses, while in the ‘United States most cases of hay fe- ver are associated with the pollens of the ragweed. In this country the concentration of ragweed pollen in the air is much greater than that of Daily Health Service SENSITIVITY TO AILMENTS LIKELY TO. BE INHERITED Development of Hay Fever, Asthma and Hives May. Be Related to Tendencies of Ancestors any other including the grasses, It was found that the children of certain immigrants in New York slept on felt pillows of which the chief constituent was rabbit hair. Most American children sleep on feather pillows. Thus more children of im- migrants were found sensitive to rab- bit hair than of the American popu- and more of the American Population were found sensitive to plant, chicken feathers than of the immi- - grant population. Miners and bakers were found to be sensitive to wheat flour, paper makers to the dust of wood pulp, laboratory workers to the hair of the guinea pigs, and workers around the Face tracks to horse hair. This would seem to indicate that it is not a specific sensitivity that is inherited but merely a general ten- dency to sensitivity, the exact na- ture of the disturbance depending on the surroundings in which the indi- vidual works and lives. The symp- toms associated with sensitivity seem to depend to a considerable extent on the way in which the sensitizing sub- stances get into the body. Sometimes it is inhaled; some- times it is eaten; sometimes it is kept in prolonged contact with the skin and sometimes it is injected un- der the skin. Thus, hay fever, sneez- ing and running of the nose may be associated with the inhalation of various pollens. Eruptions on the skin are developed from long con- tact with furs and from the use of powder containing orris root, or some similar substance. All sorts of foods may be involved in food allergies— strawberries usually causing hives; chocolate being associated with at- tacks of headache. both of these young men are acting in a piece titled, “The Enemy With- in.” Park and Ashton play gangster Toles and Park is taken for a ride by Ashton.
