(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (incorporated) NEW YORK BOSTON t (CHICAGO ae Thanksgiving Day ‘There is a new’significance to this Whanksgiving day. In times much harder than these, the Pilgrim Fathers offered up thanks. They had much less to be thankful for in those lean and bleak days. But they were thankful for a refuge from religious persecution, for protection from hos- tile Indians and for crops which, if they did not swamp their barns and granaries, gave food in abundance to fight the rigors of a New England winter. In the light of the thanksgiving of vehicles is as necessary as the list-} ing and direction of ownership. By all means, a strict law which will take from reckless drivers and incompe- tens the right to operate a motor car. Not all the accidents which have happened recently are due to reck- less driving. The Missouri river has) claimed several victims lost in the tortuous roads through bottoms that in night can easily lead to destruc- tion. State, county and city high- way Officials can well apply them- selves to placing substantial barriers on roads, the traversing of which might end disastrously.. Not so long ;@go a car plunged into the river near Bismarck because a confused driver turned off at the wrong fork of the road and steered his car down an embankment into the treacherous waters of the Big Muddy. There should be a survey made of the most dangerous roads and the proper cautions posted for the pro- tection of the motoring public. In many of the accidents reported the dead or injured were the victims of unfortunate circumstances. There will always be such accidents. An analysis of some of the accidents proves, however, that carelessness and rank negligence were largely respon- sible. This year may set a new mark for automobile accidents in the state. While we are madly at work plan- ning and building new highways, might not some of the time, money and energy be spent in promoting safer operation of cars over the ar- teries of travel we already have. Is a Great Medium Granting the movie screen is a great medium of amusement and ed- ucation, a steady fan will be par- doned the reflection that so much finds its way to the silver sheet of @ questionable and salacious nature. erned by the fitness of news. Onc great American newspaper prints conspicuously near its title ne, “All the News That's Fit to Print.” Producers of the movies and talk- ies should be guided by the same fine sense of the fitness of things and purge their programs of the offen- sive. This can be done without mak-! Pilgrims, Americans of this age have much more to be grateful for. It is a time for rededication to the spirit which the founders of the nation) brought to their much more difficult task. Despite the poverty, despite unem- ployment and despite the grief pres- ent in many homes, this nation still is most favored of all nations. Its ‘wealth exceeds that of all other na- tions and its people are motivated by general concern for the welfare of their less-fortunate fellowmen to @ Gegree not equaled in any other na- tion of the world. ‘We are at peace with the world. ‘phere are resources and initiative in the land to overcome the problems of economic readjustment incident to post-war conditions. Times have been, much worse in these United States| than are faced this Thanksgiving day. Ministers of the gospel, leaders of our public life and heads of families, some feeling the pinch of hunger, may not be able to offer up the buoy- ant prayers of Thanksgiving that have characterized some other years. But there should be deeper reflection and self searching for the fundamen- tal things which yield more happi- ness and contentment. It is time for introspection. Such crises come and go. There have been. others and there will be more. They seem to move in cycles and test the best in our civilization, like a refining fire. Still the horizon is brighter. Con- ditions have eased somewhat in the last 30 days. Fear, which has caused to a great extent some of the eco- nomic depression, seems to be abat- ing. Individuals are planning life upon a new and better basis which should prove a more sound founda- tion for future prosperity, less hectic, Jess selfish and less demoralizing than that of the decade which has passed which produced an excess of pros- perity, from the effects of which it is doubly hard to recover. But the signs of recovery are evident. There is reason for thanks in this. Compared to our lot, the Pilgrims gave thanks for bare necessities, not bounty. Let us adjust our viewpoint, for there is still much to rejoice over; much to be thankful for. Accidents Multiply Monday's Tribune presented an array of accidents horrifying and most depressive. Probably a little care, applied at the crucial moment, might have prevented most if not all of them. Today many Burleigh county families face a joyless Thanks- giving. For the last month the en- tire Missouri Slope district has becn the scene of several accidents, among which the automobile was the chief instrument of destruction. There is a need most pressing and urgent for a safety first campaign among automobile drivers to stem the increasing number of accidents. Local officials can assist in a cam- paign of education to promote sane operation of the motor car, be it a truck or one used for pleasure driv- ing. Reckless and inconsiderate drivers should be punished. It would seem that the time has arrived in this state for the licensing of automobile: drivers. There should be ap age limit, for drivers and no one should be al- Jowed to operate a car until examined as to qualifications. Other states have found that reg- istration of drivers is as desirable, if] ing the films dull or barren of clean humor and exceptional entertain-| ment. The best patronized pictures after all, as the box office receipts! will show, are the cleanest.

New York, Nov. 25.—In recent weeks I have received a number of letters asking such questions as: “What are the outstanding attrac- tions in New York at the moment?” “What events in music, the theater and the arts are people talking about?” “What outstanding topics merit the importance of discussion at @ woman's club?” So herewith I shall try to sum- marize the most discussed headliners in various fields: ee # Opera—“Schwanda,” the Metropol- itan’s annual novelty and the best since “Coq d’Or.” First presented in Prague, adapted to the Germak and presented at the Met in that tongue. Has been presented in 120 European theaters, and is a colorful fantasy. The music is lighter than most Met events present; has fine humor and is imaginatively staged by Joseph Urban; is lyric and modern. A defi- nite innovation. The second feature will be “Wozzek,” the ultra-modern opera given in Philadelphia last year by Leopold Stokowski. ee * Art—They’re talking most about a young Frenchman named Marcel Mouillet. Joseph Brummer, of the Brummer Galleries, noticed his work in Paris last summer and brought over a show, made up largely of bril- liantly colorful paintings executed in the Egyptian desert. Mouillet, born of tradespeople, came out of the war badly gassed and started painting. A small gallery owner in Paris took him as protege. But no money was forth- the stage is to be deplored. The American public, generally speaking,| is opposed to a censorship of either, the legitimate stage or the screen by} self-appointed moralists. Better a few “raw” films now and then, rather | than to paralyze this form of amus2-! ment by the dullness and inadequacy | of official censors. | The Tribune frequently receives; letters from readers protesting against suggestive films in which the pro-/ ducers go out of their way to offend and deliberately parade vulgarity of; @ most nauseating type. It is such | lapses as this which bring the de-- mand for official censorship. | For the few films which disgust,, there are hundreds which amuse anc, are great epics of the screen. Gen- erally speaking, the great producers try to conform to the ordinary can- ons of good taste. Millions turn daily to this form of, amusement and the producers havc, @ great obligation imposed in keep-! ing the standards up. There are many who are trying to do this very thing, and all power to them. | Is the suggestion that Fort Lincoln be dropped from the list of arm) posts and converted into a “jag” or narcotic farm to be confused witi President Hoover's “noble exper!- ment”? North Dakota is not anxious for a federal “jag” or narcotic farni for any dry enforcement experiment; the administration may have in mind — Most experts still think Fort Lincol:’ is a mighty good place for the train ing of soldiers both in the interesis of economy, sobriety, and nationa! defense. ! Suggestion is frequently being mad: | to let the unemployed serve as jur-| ors. Such a practice, followed, would strike a body blow at a system whic:: is supposed to be surrounded by every protection of disinterestedness. Farm- ing out juror jobs to the needy 15 hardly practicable or advisable. As the football season draws to 3 rather frigid close, many are warme. by the memories of some great j Classics of the season of 1931. The {game is getting better to watch e. season.

He spoke tn a soft, southern voice that was somehow reassuring. “Mist? Jupiter sent me to fetch you,” he sald. “He's waiting out at the Hilltop Inn and he cert’ny is mighty anxious to see you!” His half-embarrassed grin was boyish and ingratiating, and Mary found herself smiling back and ready to go with him, before she thought to ask, “Which Mr. Jupt- ter?” “I don't know that, ma’am,” the young man responded regretfully. “He never sald. Just Mist’ Jupiter, ma'am, was all he told me.” “Young or old?” Mary asked. “De- scribe him.” “Well, he’s gettin’ on, but he’s mighty peart for an old man, yes suh!” Mary laughed. “I guess it’s all right,” she said. “You see, he has a son. Was there anybody With him? Did he give you any idea what he wanted to sce me about?” On second thought, it did seem rather odd that Mr. Jupiter should set out from the hotel without hav- ing made any effort to see her, and then suddenly decide that an inter- view was necessary. Something must have happened— “He's all by hisself,” the stranger said. “Seems like he left his party and went off like that so’s he could have a private conversation with you, ma’am. And if you don’t mind hurrying—he was in a powerful hurry, ma’am—if you don't mind,” “Just one second,” Mary bade him wait, and burried back to the din- ing-room to tell Bowen, “Hey, hey, I'm going with you!” Bowen announced. They argued over it, Mary hold- ing that they must not be seen to- gether—on the general theory that to The Fly a newspaperman’s pres- ence in the group would be like a signpost pointing to trouble, and in particular because of Bowen's tories on the Jupiter murder and his presence at Shay’s the night an ‘attempt was made to arrest The Fly. © “You can’t go off with a man you never saw before,” Bowen told her. “How do you know it’s not a trap?” Mary considered. “Any way, what good would you be against two of them? My one Man army!” She tapped him on the shoulder with mock dignity. “Ne, you stay here. I'll call you and let you know everything's all right.” “All right, Cal! ine bere.” He fave her a@ teicphone nunber. “That's my club.” He winked. “Ask ‘em to call me to the phone. It’s a drugstore. 1d rather fil! up on sodas than weak tea while I’m walting. And listen, woman, I'm going to get gray around the tem- ples waiting to hear from you. So don’t forget!” “I won't. And remember, if you don’t hear from me—the Hilltop Inn. Bring the U. S, Marines and hurry to the rescue!” Unconsciously she had begun to adopt Bowen's kidding attitude— somehow it made things easier. Bol- stered up her courage, in fact, to be facetious in the face of almost certain danger. For she had made up her mind that if the man who had sent for ber did in fact turo out to be De Loma she would not Tun, but bluff it through somehow. It would really be a relief if things came to a climax at once. cies got into the front seat of a dusty, nondescript little car be- side the tall young man, and thought of nothing but keeping her seat and holding to ber floppy sun- hat while they tore at a breakneck speed out the coast road and along the shore. The Hilltop Inn was not :mposing « + + im fact, it was nothing more than a glorified quick-lunch stand, surrounded on all sides by a broad screened verandah on which were bare wooden tables and chairs. At one of these, before she climbed out of the car, Mary caught sight of the stout, white-clad but slightly wilted figure of old Mr. Jupiter, im- Patiently mopping his brow. What joyful relief that it was be! The young man tooled his car into the side-yard and helped her alight. Even as he greeted her, Mr. Jupiter rapped on the screen and called out, “Don't go ‘way there, son! I got another errand for you in a little while!” The young man nodded, got out and went over to the soda stand, and climbed indolently upon a stool, Prepared to wait, He was well out of hearing. “It’s all-fired bot to bring you all the way out here, Mary,” the old man apolegized, “but I got some things ~n my mind that I've just naturally got to talk over with you. Don’t seem as if we get much chance lately.” This was putting it mildly, Mary thought, “Where are the others?” “I told ‘em to let me out and go on.” He mopped his damp brow. “I’ve had about enough of this Florida climate for one day. But that wasn't it. 1 wanted to get back to town and have a word with you, We stopped this here feller going in the opposite direction, and he said he'd take me back to the! hotel, so they went on—Bruce and Bates, and—her. “However, 1 changed my mind| soon as I got out of their hearing, and made him stop here, instead. Be just like Bruce to turn around and go back to the hotel to make certain nobody was taking the gold filling out of my teeth while he wasn't looking. I didn’t want to be interrupted, “Now, here's the first thing: you know anything about that De Loma chap that we met last night?” “Plenty,” Mary sai? - erimly. “Why?” “You don’t have to tell me he’s a bad one,” the old man growled. “I aint lived to be nearly 70 with- out knowing a rotten egg when I smell one. You know what I think? It wouldn’t surprise me none if De Loma wasn't the zuy we're looking for!" , A cold chill crept down the girl's {spine at this uncanny perception. “ile is The Fly.” she sald. “We're as sure cf it as we can possibly be. I've been wanting to tell you—and afraid to. It’s awful, when you think about it—that there he sits —he has the audacity to eat—and drink—and—and breathe—oh!” Sho must not think of it—that was perilous! And to go on in that strain might undermine the old man’s self-contro!, too. UPITER cleared his throat. “Now, here's another thing,” he said, leaning his elbows on the table and laying the indexfinger of his right hend in the palm of his left. “You know.” he began, “or— rather, you don’t know, because they don’t anybody know but just me and one or two others, that there’s a Lorimor car belongs to me.” Mary’s eyes widened at this reve lation. It was the very thing she wanted most to know about, but she had choked on the question whenever opportunity arose to ask it. “I had Tom buy it for me. I kept it secret. Bound to be talk if I bought any car not put out by the Jupiter Motor Company, and L thought it was just as well not to let the Lorimer people be able to say I had to buy one of their cars to get any place. “But the fact is,” he hesitated, and Mary fairly twitched with tm- patience, “the fact is—now, you keep this to yourself, Mary—but the Lorimor car is a darn good car and it’s been cutting into our sales to the point where it’s not funny any more. Now, | know all about the Lorimor car. They haven't got so much as a washer on it that we haven't got, or can’t put, on a Ju- piter. But I’m damned if a lot of’ people don’t prefer {t to the Jupiter. Now why? “I says to myself. I’m going to find out. So I gave Tom $5000 cash to buy a brand-new Lorimor. You've heard me say Tom's the best mechanic alive, and he is. That's why I keep him. He ain’t so trust- worthy in all ways—I’ve found that out. But I'd rather have him on my cars than some honest lunkhead. And if he wasn’t lacking some- wheres he’d be down at the plant, getting $20,000 a year, instead of wearing my livery and sleeping over a garage. Breathless as she was with eager- ness for him to get on to the point of the story, Mary could not help recognizing that the faults of Tom were a real heartache to the old man, so highly did he esteem the man’s mechanical genius. “Well, : says to Tom,” Jupiter went %n, “this here's to be your car to fool with. Take it whenever you've got the time, and do tricks with it. Give it every test you can think of, just as if you was buying a car for yourself. I want to know just what you think of that car when you're done with it. Take tt apart, if you want to, though 1 know what's inside, and so do you. Eat with it, sleep with it, get to know that Lorimor car as well as you know the Jupiter car. And when you've got an idea about the two makes of car, come and tell me where the difference ts. “Well, Tom was just like’a kid with a clock to take apart. You never saw a happler man, Only— here's what I didn’t know till just now—today, in fact—what Tom went and did was buy a second- hand car and pocket the difference! ns AT brand new—turned back to the dealer after it hadn't been driven more than a couple thousand miles —and not a scratch. Yes, there was a dent in the left front fender, but Tom took it down to tHe factory and got it ironed out and painted over. Nobody would notice—and it gave Tom a $1000 cut in price. He says not, but I know—I know the price of cars, Well— “Anyhow, I sent for Tom to drive down here. Don't know as 1 men- tioned it. Don't like riding round in rented cars with thess wild drivers. Feel better with Tom at the wheel. Well, he got here last night and this morning when he brought the car around to take us out, what wag it but this Lorimor! I gave him the devil for it. I said, ‘Tom, you know I don’t want to be seen in that car!’ But it seems he never thought. When I said, ‘Drive down,’ he thought what a chance it would be to try out his new play- thing on a long drive, and the change in climate, and all, so off he Tuns in it. “Well, I rode out In it this morn- ing. Nobody likely to see me down here, nobody that knows me, that is, Sitting back there with nobody to talk to but this Louise I got to looking around at the finish and poking the upholstery and so on, and—look what I found!” oe held out a folded sheet of Paper, his hand trembling until it was hard for her to seize it. Mary unfolded it, read in Eddfe’s familiar handwriting: “LO. U. $15,000. Edward Harkness, Junior.” “Take it easy, now. Don't get upset,” Jupiter warned her, as the whiteness of her face began to frighten him. She pulled herself together. “How did—this—get im the car, 1 wonder?” she asked, levelly— holding the sheet of paper which was like a message from Eddie himself, “Well—it was a second-hand car, Looks like it might be the car that The Fly used coming and going, and maybe later on the one that ran your brother down,” Jupiter offered. Mary’s dazed eycs paper again. “Tom swears there’s been nobody in this back seat till this morning,” went on Jupiter. “Tom's no hand for joyriding, I'll say that for him.” When they got back to town, driven by the obliging young man in whose pocket now reposed the first 250 bill he had ever seen, none of the motoring party had returned. Not until she entered the lobby did it enter Mary's mind thag she had not telephoned Bowen! Hastily she called the number he had given her, but he was not there. No one knew whether he had been there or bow long ago he Lad gone. Well, she had been gone nearly three hours. No wonder he had grown impatient, No sooner had she gained her room, however, than the telephone began to trill madly, It was Bowen. He was almost incoherent with re- lief at finding her in. “Listen,” he said, “I':. at Ifill. top Inn. Nobody here but me, now. But they’ve been here, Bruce and the Countess, And what a fight! 1 hid behind a catsup bottle and got an earful. Listen, did Mrs, Jupiter have a diamond bracelet?” sought the “Yeah, that's Tom. He's a little on the sly order. Instead of pay- ing the full price for a new Lort- mor, Tom began watching for bar- gains, A few days ago he found what he wanted—a car that looked “Yes.” Mary said, “she did.” “Would you Enow it?” “I think so, “Well, look or’ the countess’ arm when she comes in. An? she’! come in—alone!” (To Be Continued) ONDA MN A 1 | { Daily Health Service VENTILATION OF SCHOOL ROOMS By DR.

The fact that bad air may have a bad effect on human health and com- fort has been recognized for more than 2,000 years. Tt was at first thought that the only bad air was that which con- ought to and less oxygen than out- side air. The modern point of view ds that the chief purpose of ventila- tion is to remove the excess of heat given off by the human body s0 as to maintain an atmosphere that will be comfortable—cool but not too cold. The final report of the New York Commission on Ventilation indicates that the essential problem of ventila- tion, except whete the air contains poisons or dust due*to imperfect com- bustion or industrial processes are concerned, is a physical and not a chemical problem that affects the skin more than it does the lungs. * *k * To this, of course, must be added the fact that the air tends to take up odors from the human body when coming, so Mouillet shipped on a freighter which went on a reef in the Indian ocean.

Mechanical experts have invented all sorts of devices to ventilate rooms properly and the out- Come of all of their experiments was the development of fans for forcing air into rooms, Because scientists and experts in hygiene began to demand 30 cubic feet of air per minute, the state of New York in 1913 appointed a com- mission to investigate the problem of ventilation. The studies include not only tests made in the laboratory but also additional tests carried on in schools. The commission now is convinced that auditoriums holding 100 people or more, large offices, workrooms and industrial establishments where ex- cessive heat or moisture or dust or poisonous fumes are produced require fan ventilation. In certain workrooms where outdoor noise or dust or odors may make it inadvisable to keep the windows open, fan ventilation may be required. In most places, how- ever, window ventilation seems to be entirely satisfactory and indeed is to be preferred for school rooms. It is recognized that occupied rooms in schools should have a temperature about 68 degrees Fahrenheit; corri- dors, gymnasiums and shops should have 65 degrees Fahrenheit; swim- ming pools and adjacent rooms, 75 degrees Fahrenheit. ae ee TE IPED OD ESET tse a tion: “From the American War Mis- sion, in grateful remembrance.” Meantime, French forces in the Verdun sector captured first and sec- ond German lines and deep dugouts between Samogneaux and the region to the south of the Anglemont Farm.
