( (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives | SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON r The Impetuous Mr. Hurley It will be interesting to note the re- ‘ction of the nation, if any, to the recent outburst of Patrick Hurley, handsome young secretary of war, while a witness before the senate committee considering freedom for the Philippines. | Hurley went to the islands last summer as the special representative | of President Hoover and upon his return made a report, recommending | against granting immediate inde- pendence to the Filipinos. ‘The reasons for this recommenda- tion were many and sound but it does seem that Hurley could have ex- plained and defended them before the committee without losing his temper. There seems no good reason | for a display of temper and feeling such as that given in the committee room by both Hurley and his in- quisitord. Hurley served as an officer in the ‘World war and his courage is not open to question, but his failure to stand up under the verbal barrage of fellow officers of the government speaks none too well for his self-con- trol. Rated as an expert Politician, | he evidently forgot: the fact that the; tendency of the country will be to} laugh at anyone, no matter what his/ position, who does not keep his head| when under pressure. It seems a safe} bet that the incident will lend no im- petus to the Hurley career. This as- pect of the case is important in view| of the fact that Hurley is one of the} younger statesmen of the Republican party and great things have been pre-/ dicted for him. The Truth Will Out The truth is beginning to come out of the camp of the Jamestown group which is seeking capital removal. | In propaganda to the rest of the| state the removalists have raised unc- tuous voices for the taxpayer. An effort has been made to give North Dakota citizens the idea that James- town suddenly was possessed with concern for their interests. Their unselfish zeal for the taxpayer has caused them to seek removal of the capital to Jamestown. Their own in- terests and selfish ends were not even being considered. In fact, so James- town’s group would tell the state, there were no selfish interests. But a letter published in the Jamestown Sun's editorial column lets the cat out of the bag. It was written by one J. R. Anderson and deals with the recent action of a group of Jamestown leaders who ex- Pressed opposition to the capital re- moval effort. In his last paragraph Mr. Anderson says: “Personally, I feel that James- town’s interests should come first with them.” ‘This sentence gives the lie to the “taxpayer” propaganda spread by the removalists. It exposes the James- town removal effort for just what it is. The Problem at Geneva So far, the proceedings of the dis- armament conference at Geneva have hardly been of s kind to make a be- Never in world peace give three loud cheers. The thunder of the guns in the Far East has sounded all too clearly in Geneva. The conference, despite its high importance, despite the mil- Hons of people who are hopefully ooking to it for real results, has mo- ments in which it looks almost far- clcal.

Each nation continues to foster the old rivalries. National- ism is exactly the sort of force it was prior to 1914. The course that led to war in 1914 is still being followed— and instead of finding a new course, we are trying to persuade ourselves that everything will be all right if only all hands will agree to reduce armies and navies! | And because we are trying to do the job in that way, the delegates at Geneva are having a heart-breakingly discouraging time. It would be possible to start the job |at the other end. If an honest effort jcould be made to straighten out the map of Europe; if attempts to get na- tional advantages at the expense of one’s neighbors could be abandoned; if some of the damaging restrictions on world trade could be removed; if the “advanced” nations could forget their scramble for special privileges in Africa, China and elsewhere—if all of those things could be done, then disarmament would be simple.

Bevan, former president of the American Medical association, told a senate committee in Washington the other day that at least 90 per cent of the whisky pre- scriptions issued by doctors are for beverage and not for medicinal pur- poses, he started an argument that ought to last, with any sort of luck, all the rest of the winter. Dr. Bevan estimates that fully 80,~ 000 physicians in the United States make less than $2,500 a year. Each doctor, he points out, is allowed 400 prescriptions a year, at $3 apiece. AS he says, this must be quite a tempta-! tion to those 80,000 who are having a hard time making a living. All this is perfectly true; yet to say that nine out of ten prescriptions were obtained under false pretenses is to ¢: wmething of an aspersion on the medical profession generally. The argument, as we said, ought to last quite a while. The New Chinese Soldier The courage of some of the recent fighting around Shanghai will prob- ably make some of us revise our pre- conceived opinions about the capa- bilities of the Chinese soldier. Heretofore, Chinese armies had been considered more or less ineffi- cient. The ease with which Japan mopped up in Manchuria strength- ened that opinion. Again and again the Japanese met “armies” that far outnumbered them, and again and again they routed them in short or- der. But the fighting around Shanghai has been differcnt. The Chinese have shown a surprising ability to give as g0od as they receive, and the job that the Japanese expected to do in a few days wasn’t that kind of a job. These particular Chinese soldiers happen to be well drilled and well equipped. Under such circumstances, apparently, the Chinese make excel- lent soldiers.

They are publish ther they France’s Atlantic to Mediter- ranean Ship Canal (Seaway News) In order that the vast interior of this continent might have access to ocean ships, the world’s lowest cost transportation, Canada and the United States, after ten years of dis- cussion, are soon to proceed with com- pletion of the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence Seaway. But France, on her own account, is again seriously considering the con- struction of a ship canal connecting the Atlantic with the Mediterranean, at a cost several times that of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The proposal is to construct a canal for ocean ships extending in a south- easterly direction through the nar- rowest part of the country from the Bay of Biscay at Bordeaux and gen- erally following the Garonne river to Toulouse, about two-thirds of the way across, thence leaving the river and following the present canal system to Narbonne, on the Mediterranean. It. would be 250 miles long with 14 locks overcoming a change in alti- tude of between 60 and 70 feet. The Present estimate of cost is 500 mil- lions, whereas an estimate made in March, 1931, set the cost at two bil- lions. With a toll of 10 francs per ton on shipping passing through, it is reported the annual revenue would pay dividends on the investment. The advantages of the canal, as outlined a year ago, may be summed up as follows: It would aid in the transportation of farm products from one interior Point to another and to either coasts; Algeria and Morocco would benefit from a direct route into central France; it would shorten the route from Great Britain and northern Europe to the Mediterranean and Suez and India by 1,100 miles and it would provide adequate protection against floods which periodically dev- astate southwestern France. The project is but another mile- stone in the history of Europe which shows that the nations have always been willing to expend many millions in order that their interiors might enjoy the benefits of deep sea car- riage.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American ical Association ‘When a baby is sick it must be bathed frequently. Sometimes, enough, it is so ill that it cannot bathed in a tub, but has to be bathed in bed. An experienced nurse knows how to’ do this. She first sees to it that the room is properly heated, that there are no drafts and that an hour has passed since the child has had a meal. ‘The fresh bed clothing, the towels and the wash cloth should be avail- able at the foot of the bed. The utensils used in washing should be on a table by the side of the crib or bed. ‘When everything is ready, the bath proceeds as follows: The sick child is covered with the blanket and un- dressed under the blanket. Its solled clothing is placed either in a laundry bag or on sheets of paper ready for wrapping. A bath towel is spread under the head and neck of the pa- tient, which are then washed wit the wash cloth wrung out of water and with soap if desirable. After the face, neck, ears and. up- per arms are washed, they are dried with the face towel and the bath and grunt—Dr. Philip H.

Most of the girls had reg- ular patrons. Tony’s instructions dealt in part with methods for “cinching regulars.” These men would buy a whole string of tickets for the privilege of dancing with a particular girl for an hour or so. After each of the short dances—the fastest couples barely managed three turns of the room before the orchestra stopped—the girl would gravely detach one of the tickets from the long string proffered by her escort, Ellen took a table close to Tony's. But Tony was gone almost imme diately, away like a green flash in the arms of 2 tall youth, Ellen sat alone for some time.

Ellen's very beauty and air of cool aloofness in- timidated them. At last a bold spirit sought out Salomon and came over for an introduction, As she acknowledged the introduction El- len realized there were worse things than sitting alone at a table while others danced. One of them was dancing with Joseph K, Landis. He was clumsy. tightly that she could hardly breathe. He pressed his damp face against her cool cheek no matter how insistently she sought to avoid the juxtaposition. And all the time he babbled in her ear inane compli- ments. “Where've you been all my life, Ittle one? At home taking caro of the kids? I thought so. A pretty Uttle thing like you should have a better fate. Take me for instance —go right ahead and take me, I'll see you don’t get trampled in the rush.” “You're holding me too tightly,” she said furiously. “Naughty, naughty! You're not supposed to talk.

He did kiss me.” She got up from the table and had begun to say that Salomon could find another girl to take her place, one more amenable to his ideas, when she saw that there was @ small disturbance near the door. Three men had entered and were grouped near the ticket booth. The two in evening clothes plainly wished to leave but the third, the one. in flannels, just as plainly wished to stay. Suddenly Ellen saw him detach himseff from his com- the spot where she and Salozion stood.
