(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) i CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Too Much Publicity? It has been some time, now, since the New Jersey police emitted a pained “squawk” to the effect that) too much publicity was hampering their work in the Lindbergh kidnap- ing case. The fact of the case, how- ever, seems to have been that they ‘were not doing any work or, if they ‘were, that it was confined largely to running around in circles. The po- lice were so badly puzzled and so much at sea that they had to have someone or something upon whom to Jay the blame for their failure. Their activities since the protest against the newspapers was issued have led to nothing. Apparently they are no nearer a solution of the crime or recovery of the child than they were when they first were called in on the case. If they find the child or capture the criminals now it probably will be because some private citizen, inter- ested in the case and informed upon it by the newspapers, will place in their hands the needed clue. ‘This is the history of solution of most of the puzzling criminal cases. ‘The detectives of fiction can work marvels in deduction and analysis and their modern prototypes have the same methods open to them. Nevertheless, no detective can work without facts and these are largely| supplied by the people. Brilliant de-| tective work consists largely of piec- ing unrelated facts together and making the right deductions. For the police working on this case the average citizen has only sympa-) thy. They face a problem which is! terrifying in its simplicity. The child is gone. They don’t know who took: it. They would like to find out. They may never find out, but if they do it will be because someone tells them. Continued thought by the people of | the nation on the subject may help! achieve that end, and one way of/ keeping the people interested is to| tell them of such developments as} may occur. It would seem that the police were, attacking one of their best auxiliar~- des when they condemned the news-/ papers for taking an interest in this| ‘case which continues one of the most ebsorbing news stories of our times. One Cent Up Commercial club secretaries of the state, meeting here, were urged to do everything in their power to ob- tain fair freight rates for North Da- kota and to prevent unjust increases in railroad tariffs. There are few fields in which the state is more in need of protection and few in which the old adage about a “stitch in time” is so applicable. An increase of one cent per 100/ pounds in freight rates is translated into a boost of millions of dollars inj} freight costs for North Dakota ship- pers and consumers. To most per-! sons cases involving these affairs, | docketed under dull and uninterest- ing titles and highly technical in the! evidence presented, seem of little im-j portance. A suggestion to increase| lic protest because that is something which all of us can understand, even though it affects us but little under Present transportation conditions. An increase of one cent per 100 pounds in butter rates, however, is far more important. Everyone eats butter but not everyone travels on trains. Every- one wears clothes and needs fuel and the cost of transportation always is | added to the price of any item. %& is fitting, therefore, that the ‘Commercial club secretaries concen- trate on the job of seeing that North ‘Dakota gets a square deal in. the Matter of freight rates. The state prailroad board has made this one of major jobs in recent years and it fefreshing to note the enthusiasm which other persons and or- interested are cooperating ‘with this public body. ‘The fight now raging resolves it- f. into the question of whether Dakota and North Dakota in- shall constitute the tail of Twin City-Duluth commercial or be placed on an independent For many years it was as or cheaper to ship an item ot passenger rates would result in pub-| from New York to a jobber in these cities and have him reconsign it to Fargo or Bismarck or Minot, than to. ship it from New York to the North Dakota towns direct. Then Fargo, because it was awake and aggressive and saw the impor- tance of freight rates to its commer- cial development, obtained conces- \sions which placed it in position to \compete, at least in part, with Duluth and the Twin Cities. Later the in- terstate commerce commission saw the justice of North Dakota's claim that it should be treated as a sepa- 0 | rate entity, with interests peculiarly its own, and decided there was no justice in making it tributary to the larger cities east of it. Since then the battle has been one of application, opposition and reap- plication for changes in the freight rate structure. It is stili continuing. In safeguarding the commercial health of the community it is only by eternal vigilance and ceaseless ef- fort that the interests of the people are protected. Co-operative Living Down in Minnesota several hun- dred families are preparing to move to new homes in an experiment which may mean much to this nation in times to come. They will attempt to prove whether a large number of Americans, by pooling their inter- ests and the fruits of their labor, can make a go of things. In a way, the proposal is one to establish complete cooperation among the persons affected and, approvri- ately, one of its sponsors is A. J. Me- Guire, general manager of the Land of Lakes Creameries, one of the coun- try's most successful cooperative mar- keting enterprises. In brief, the idea is to take fami- lies, the heads of which are unem- ployed, and move them onto Minne-; sota land. This would be purchased or leased and a village established in which all of the people would live. Arrangements would be made to pro- vide the 200 families with 1,000 cows, 2,000 pigs, 10,000 chickens, 2,000 sheep and 200 swarms of bees. The families would, construct 25} apartment houses, each housing eight families and there would be 10 dairy! barns, 10 swine barns and two poul+ try houses. The village would be self-sufficient. The baker would bake, the butcher chanic would fix the neighbors’ cars} and every other man would be as- signed to the job he could do best. McGuire estimates that the entire project would cost abput $1,000,000 and the security for this would be the interest of 200 families in addi- tion to the material possessions given them with which to do business. The cost would be financed on a 25-year! mortgage plan and when it would have been paid, each family would] have 1/200ths of an interest in the asseis. The idea, of course, is one born of} necessity. Minneapolis wants to get its unemployed off its hands. One can see many objections to it, for among those 200 families there! would appear the usual differences in jopinion and character of which any !group of persons offers example. Some will be energetic; others will be lazy. Some will be intelligent; others will be less so. Some will be suspicious and secretive; others will be open-minded and unsuspecting. Some will be good cooperators and} others will be individualists. And yet, if these and other ob- stacles are overcome, the experiment would prove successful. Two hundred families, working honestly and whole- souledly toward a common end, rep- resent a terrific force for achieve- ment, They easily could build up a colony in which want and poverty would never enter, for in such a com- munity there never would be unem- ployment and, presumably, everyone would work for the interest of all, knowing that he was, at the same time, working for himself. It is a beautiful theory. If Minne- sota’s charity organizations try it the entire nation will be interested in how it works out. Man works hard to establish a credit and then frequently finds it too good for his good. Editorial Comment | Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Into Dust (New York World-Telegram) It is safe to say millions of persons took a deen interest in the illness and death last week of Mrs. Ida E. Wood, long resident of the Herald Square hotel. Yet until a few months ago these same millions were not even aware of her existence! For years this strange old woman of 93, who had long outlived her generation, dwelt alone among her faded relics, her amazing accumulae tions of cash and jewels, her memo- ries of far-off things, utterly un- touched by publicity, yet in the very heart of New York’s avid, curiosity- living crowds. Kindness, greed, theft —all passed her by—alike unkowing. She lived like-a hermit-niiser, se- cure in her habits; eating when and what she chose, smoking her cigars, her treasures, @ law unto herself—and she thrived. Then other human beings burst in. In the name of humanity, health and protection they took her in charge, ransackéd and locked up her treas- ures, gave her nurses, let air arid light into her life. And she died.

I am not inclined to be overly super- would dress the meat, the auto me-|Stitious, but I do believe in mental} {and psychological influences.” So they rushed Chauncey Olcott from Ann Arbor to his New York home in a swanky neighborhood that borders on the East River. He lay long with death haunting the prem- ises. But the famous Irish singer re- covered. Talking with him at the time, he gave full credit to “the lucky house.” Once he ordered a shamrock carved over the door and decorated the in- terior with the well-known Irish em- blem. Well, he was too far away to get back the last time that death came stalking. And so Olcott died in Monte Carlo. The “lucky house” will, probably, always carry the reputa- tion of having some magic power of healing. Around the neighborhood, the tale is well known and hundreds have gone out of their ways to view it. ee X ‘Rich’ Voice Discovered The newest important radio voice belongs to a young man who could wear the title of vice president in a nationally-important corporation if he cared to. But Craig McConnell set out to make his own way in this world, and decided to depend on his voice rather than on business. Incidentally he is one of the first Social Register folk to broadcast as a seriously inten- tioned profession. McConnell comes from Akron, O., where his voice was first noted.

Craig was singing about the lobby one night, some years back, when a transient concert star heard him and jurged him to study. In recent years his father has sought to get him in- terested in business and voted Craig a vice presidency in a big power cor- poration.

Well, since there is but one all-night spot operating at the mo- ment in Manhattan, the answer isn’t so difficult. ‘They're people who spend most of their daylight hours in bed; movie lend stage people, visitors who want |the thrill of watching other “night lifers,” society folk who seek to kill time, and casual spenders.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association Each year about 3,000 doctors die in the United States. The doctor's life brings him unusual hazards from which other people do not suffer. The average age at death of the doctors was about 64 years, although many doctors live longer. For in- stance, two doctors lived to be 99 Years old and 30 lived to be over 90. On the other hand, 23 doctors died under the age of 30, and 51 died be- tween 30 and 35. As with others, Many doctors died from automobile accidents. Seventy-one thus termi- nated their existence in 1931, as com- Pard with 66 in 1930. Doctors also died from falls, from drowning, from airplane accidents, from gunshot wounds, from illumi- nating gas, and from overdoses of medicine, Sixty-four doctors committed sui- cide in 1931, which was two less than in 1930. The economic depression might have been expected to cause more deaths, since doctors suffer es-| pecially at such periods because peo- ple delay paying doctor bills more than any other type of bills they owe. As is also the case with the ma- an fi people are living longer than they used to. The physician is constantly in con- tact with infection and he is in a way even a menace to the children in his own family through the infec- tion that .he may bring in. Physi- cians employed in institutions for the insane and in prisons are subject to attack by their patients. The demands on the eyesight of the physician lead frequently to vis- ual disturbance.
