(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON 50 Useful Years Members of the First Baptist church of Bismarck join this week-end in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the institution of that church in Bis- marck and members of other congre- gations in the city offer friendly con- gratulations and best wishes. The history of the local Baptist con- gregation is recounted elsewhere in this issue of The Tribune. The thing we deal with here is the significance of this anniversary. Bearing in mind the fact that hu- man individuals, not buildings or property, make a church, we see an organization of which the good folk of 1881 might well be proud. It is comfortably housed in a fine build- ing, but this is the least of its pos- sessions. Its most precious heritage is an abiding faith, a firm hope and the love which dominates the actions of every Christian church. It is a fit representative of the many other churches in Bismarck which, though they may differ in creeds and in tenets of faith, all strive loyally toward the upbuilding of His) kingdom, ‘The sight of this flourishing congre- gation after 50 years is ample answer, also, to those who contend that the churches are losing their hold upon the hearts and intelligence of the people and their place in the world. Nothing could be more absurd. Chris- tianity today, as represented by any well-established church, is a more powerful factor in the world now than ever before. The principles embodied in the Sermon on the Mount and il- lustrated by the Child in a manger or Christ on the cross are eternal and imperishable. They will serve this generation and those to come as they have served those in the past. Only because it has met the spir- itual needs of its place and time has the First Baptist church of Bismarck come to its golden anniversary strong-| er and better fitted for the future than ever before. Only as it has ob- served the principles which guide the great Christian family has it been Successful in fulfilling its place. ‘The church ministers to the mind ‘and, on occasion, to the body, but its Great field still is in the realm of spiritual things. To some it may ap- pear to be a Godless world, but those who feel that way do not appreciate the spirit of their fellowmen. They may not agree that never before have Spiritual values been more appreci- ated or the things of the soul received more attention than is the case to- day, but there are evidences of the fact on every hand. It is in recognition of the part which it has played in that develop- ment in, Bismarck that the people of this community, regardless of creed, extend congratulations to the First Baptist church upon its golden anni- versary. More Bugs in Sight Housewives may hear the news with fear and trembling but the insecticide manufacturers are smacking their lips at the prospect, for, regardless of the reaction, we are told to expect more ‘bugs of all kinds next year. Authority for the statement is F. O. Moburg of Toledo, Ohio, a research expert for the insecticide makers. One of his jobs is to keep on the track of the bug population and advise the country are really effective and safe to use. Both the industry and the public, he said, suffer harm from the effects of irresponsible and untested prod- ucts, sometimes made from formulas which are dangerous. Among the defects found in various Preparations were these: “Some were inflammable, others were harmful to fabrics; some were little more than smelly liquids, still others might eas- ily be dangerous to children.” The ease with which good insecti- in combatting pests, coupled with the manifest dangers which insects bring, howdéver, have stimulated the de- mand. Moburg offers one infallible rule for the person who wants to buy an in- secticide. It is “Buy an Advertised Product.” The reason, he says, is that makers of poor products do not dare to advertise them since publicity only kills their business the quicker. The maker of real insecticides, like the maker of shoes or the purveyor of finger waves, is looking for repeat or- ders. Paying Opera’s Way ‘The opera is not an institution that does well on American soil. In such cities as New York and Chicago it flourishes by virtue of the subsidies of the wealthy. Elsewhere it is not seen or heard at all, with a very few exceptions. (tw ith One of the exceptions is St. Louis; and opera in that city seems to do very well. The balance sheet of the 1931 summer opera season has just been made public, showing that the St. Louis opera paid its way through gate receipts and rolled up enough of a profit to pay off a deficit left from 1930. St. Louis can well be proud of that record. Opera that lives on the do- nations of the wealthy has no real Place in a city’s life. Opera that, pays its own way via the box office is an established institution that really means something to the rank and file of the people. Idea for Politicians Certain advertising of food, cloth- ing and other essentials dwells on “pre-war prices.” A check-back prob- ably is not needed to demonstrate that to an extent pre-war retail prices have come back. Advertisers usually choose slogans expertly; and the present case suggests the possibilities of wider use of “pre-war” in appeals to the public. How about the politicians of cities, counties, states and the nation get- ting together in an enthusiastic and gigantic drive for return everywhere to “pre-war” taxes? Few statues are erected to men who couldn't make a decision without ask- ing the wife. After you get well, sickness seldom seems worth as much as the doctors charge for it. Americanism: Doing only fairly well for yourself; feeling capable of running the country. Raise a boy right and some day he will keep himself solid by drying the dishes for his wife. If he calls his business a “game,” you know he is a good talker when it comes to renewing a note. Statistics are those authoritative and conclusive figures which merely, strengthen woman's intuition to the contrary.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's pol A Hero Dies (New York World-Telegram) Monuments to the political and martial makers of our history stand on pedestals throughout the land, Space should be reserved for monu- ments to the heroes of science who suffer and die in the unsung war on disease and premature death. Such a hero has died. He was Alfred Seymour Reinhart, of Dorchester, a 24-year-old graduate student in Harvard medical school. While a boy Reinhart learned that he was doomed to die of heart disease. Immediately he counted off his days and began his researches with his own. body as his subject. He graduated with makers of various preparations what'| honors, entered medical schdol, spe- business will be available next year in terms of insects to be slaughtered. It is a good deal similar, in intent, to the counts made by the federal de- partment of agriculture of the number of sheep, hogs, beef and other animals in the country.

Multiply that by all of the anthills in the nation, plus the flies around every exposed garbage can, and it immediately becomes apparent Moburg’s job is not one for the census Instead he estimates bug production cialized in the heart. One day he saw upon his arm the bright red patches that warn the pa- tient that he has just four months more to live. Shutting himself in a tiny hosptial room, Reinhart began a minutely sub- jective study upon his own body. He recorded every symptom, noted every Physical reaction as death crept toward his heart. “Despite my pain,” he recorded in his notebook, “I am. hesitant about. taking the drug, because it would cloud whatever abdominal symptoms were present and would make the diagnosis difficult.” He then ar- rahged for a post-mortem study of his body and closed his book of life. _.The United States uses more quick silver than any other country. cides may be used and their efficiency { New York, Dec. 19.—New York will never quite recover from the shock received recently when “the voice of the city” was discovered to be a com- bination of Morton Downey in his more falsetto moments; Rudy Vallee in the process of calling a moose and Jack Dempsey in his usual talking voice. “The voice of the city,” in a word, was a high-pitched tenor suggesting the effeminate. Here was New York, prideful of strength and he-man qualities of sur- vival; pictured as a giant of tremen- dous vitality! And then, the embar- rassing discovery that the giant had @ piping tenor voice! For years the “voice of the city” had been the sub- ject of stories and songs, presenting @ Sphinx-like problem. And then a certain Dr. Biard White was retained as a research engineer to record the voices of stveral capi- tals. London came in pleasantly mas- culine: a good, deep baritone with a bass «quality. But when the, sound waves of Manhattan were recorded they were, alas, slightly hysterical and falsetto. * * * Yet, it seems to me, that Dr. White Probably made his recordings during the busier periods of a New York day, when brakes are squeaking; tenor horns are sounding and screeching noises rasp the human ear. To me, New York is at its most mu- sical just about dawn of a fogey morning. Then, with silence riding over the noisy city, the many-toned fog signals come clearly in from the rivers and harbor that rim the island. Then is played a strange and mod- ernistic symphony, interrupted by the far-away whistle of a train or the echo of a barking dog. And there are sectional sounds, too, that Dr. White may or may not have investigated. The sounds of Harlem on a Sunday morning are not the sounds of Harlem on a Friday night, nor are they the sounds of the East Side at any time. And the sounds of the push-cart belt in Rivington street or Orchard are not the sounds of Second avenue. The nasal songs of the street vendors as they make their way through the East Side arteries ... the squabbling voices of street bargainers rise to a key of hysteria and die toa soft prom- ise of a “special price” from the windows, the shrieking vices of mothers calling their children in from the street ... the high pitch of voices talking against the deafening roar of an overhead elevated— ‘These are elements that create “the voice of the city.” Voices of the ghetto ‘are said to beCall served the congregation from among the most rasping in the world. The tenement folk are said to talk far above average pitch. But they have to shout down so many intruding noises. And, then, emotion plays quite a part in many of their na- tional alliances. The mere selling of an old shoe from a push-cart is often accompanied by a scene worthy of a David Warfield. The old-time comedy scenes were not so highly exaggerated. Gents in Division street still try to pull in cus- tomers from the sidewalk when the cops are looking the other way; wan- dering sailormen find themselves fit- ted out with more shirts and suits than they can afford; Irish, Hebrew, Italian and Russian frequently be- come entangled in international tongues over the purchase of a head of lettuce. These, to be sure, are the minor key voices of the city and welded into a vast unit they very well might turn out to have a high tenor piteh. (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.)

The plasmodium of malaria was discovered by the famous scientist La- veran, who received the Nobel prize for this discovery. It was shown by Ross and Grassi that the organism of malaria is transmitted from one hu- man being to another through the bite of the anopheles mosquito, As long as the adult parasites are present in the blood of the individual in sufficient quantities to infect the mosquito that bites the individual, the person is a possible conveyor of ma- laria.- Since the parasites remain in the blood for months, providing that the individual is not properly treated, anyone who is not undergoing regu- lar treatment is a menace to those around him. Children suffer more severely witl? the disease than does the adult. Ne- groes apparently are less affected by the disease than are the white people. Malaria has been practically stamped out of northern communities, and cases are rarely seen even in large charity hospitals in the northern part of the United States. However, the disease appears fairly frequently on isiana, Arkansas, southern Missouri and California.
