(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON All Should Cooperate Every Bismarck resident will bene- Tit if every automobile driver in the city will adopt the suggestion that he park his car in the vacant lots desig- | nated by the city for that purpose / rather than on the streets. For many months businessmen have been passing on to the city commis- sioners complaints registered with them by farmers and other visitors regarding the lack of parking facili- ties. Evidently the city fathers were | unwilling to give up the advantages of parallel parking and go back to the old angle-parking system, and yet they realized the complaint was a just one. Adoption of the system where- by vacant lots are used may well prove the answer. Suggestion by City Commissioner Paul Wachter that city drivers use these places, leaving more parking Places on the streets open for visitors, is sound and every loyal Bismarck res- ident should make a note of it. The parking plots are all in the downtown district and our own citizens easily can remember where they are. Vis- itors can hardly be expected to do so. If good parking facilities mean more business, and unquestionably they do, everyone can support Bismarck’'s commercial interests by using the parking plots and giving additional courtesy to visitors in the city. 20 |kota, perhaps, will be W.

Second in importance of the “new” wet arguments is that based on moral considerations. Some wet advocates say they do not care to rear their children in the atmosphere which pro- hibition has created. They lay the social excesses and the general loose- ness which has developed since the World War to the influences stimulat- ed by the dry law. Chief among the exponents of this theory in North Da- {Democratic candidate for congress, He expounded this idea at some length in his speech at New Rockford in which he promised to give the people an opportunity to repeal prohibition if Of the two arguments, the former probably will be more effective in get- ting votes but the latter is more sig- nificant. There was a time in this country when no one dared to publicly challenge the morals of the prohibi- tion question. That a leading public man now dares to do so shows that the forces supporting the dry law have slipped backward since the days when street-corner orators pointed to near- by saloons as dens of vice and in- iquity. This may be due to the flood of Propaganda, natural and otherwise, which has been directed against the prohibition law or to a changed atti- tude on the part of the public. Whatever the reason, it seems clear that prohibition has its back to the wall and will face the severest test. in the history of this state if the matter is brought to a vote next fall. | | Il winds have been known to blow good to somebody, but rarely does one hear of a volcano spouting anything but disaster, once it goes into action. The recent eruption of five Andean Peaks in Chile was reported to have laid waste hundreds of square miles of towns and countryside under a blanket of volcanic dust several inches thick. Such a catastrophe added to the prevailing economic distress, boded ill for the inhabitants until it was discovered that mother earth had blessed them with a shower of gold instead of ashes. The gray dust was found to have chemical properties of value and the 16,000 citizens of Curico are now bus- ily gathering and selling it to a Santi- ago firm at a good price per ton for some unnamed purpose. Alfalfa farm- ers who had feared their crops smoth- ered and destroyed, now announce the alfalfa is growing with unequaled luxuriance under the strange fertil- izer. Is it possible that man has over- looked another bounty of nature and that volcanos may be wells of wealth for humanity's enrichment, rather than the outlets of hell they were generally assumed to be? The Wage Cut Fight One of the interesting phenomena! of the moment is the battle being | waged between President Hoover and| the congress regarding the best means! of reducing the government's cumber- Bome payroll. | Every groaning taxpayer wants ex- wenses reduced and the payroll is a large item of expense, but everyone wants this reduction to be as painless} as possible and to affect the ordinary commercial and industrial status of| the country as little as possible. | On this basis, President Hoover's suggestions for staggered employment and a reduction in the number of hours worked, thus keeping everyone on the payroll and keeping many off} of the list of public charges, is much better suited to the needs of the time than the suggestion by congress for an elimination of some workers by a reduction. In theory the congressmen are quite correct. We have and have had for many years too many persons on the public payroll. Yet the question now is to get the total amount paid down to a fairer figure, not to throw a large mumber of persons out of their jobs. On the questoin of reducing salaries below $2,500 a year, the nation prob- ably will side with the president also. All will agree that the man earning the larger salary should take the heaviest reduction but to fix $2,500 as @ sort of minimum wage in these times may prove exasperating to ‘many who have found their incomes shrinking to practically nothing. | A Severe Test | Announcement Monday that peti- tions will be circulated to give North Dakota an opportunity to vote on the prohibition question again at the elec- tion next fall is a promise that the number of votes cast in that election ‘will be large.

Hoover and Taxes (N.Y. World-Telegram) President Hoover's address in Rich- mond to the Conference of Governors was one of the best that has come out of the White House in this adminis- tration. It should serve the double purpose of focusing public attention on the need for economy and tax re- forms and also on the fact that the problem of state and local expendi- tures is even more serious than that of federal expenditures. Federal expenditures account for less than 30 per cent of total govern- mental outlays. In eight years the cost of federal government has risen only from $3,900,000.000 to $4,500,000,- 000, compared with an increase in State governments from $4,800,000,000 to $38,300,000,000. And the cost of federal government is largely a matter of war and prepar- | edness, 37 per cent for debts, and 18) per cent for veteran's relief, which) leaves only about 23 per cent for all other government activities. The cost of federal government with- in that 23 per cent can be lowered by eliminating heavy prohibition costs and by decreasing red tape, but, by} and large, federal expenditures are apt to go up rather than down. There is a wider leeway for cuts in State expenditures, where there prob- ably is more extravagance and waste than in federal government. Con- struction projects lead some States close to bankruptcy. Some saving in the upkeep of State and local governments can be made through centralization and elimina- tion of small and overlapping units, through curbing widespread graft and over a period of years will be content to spend less on schools, hospitals, Nature Surprises the Chileans] ~ Just a Little Air New York, May 3.—Moe Finklestein, beaming down from the fire escape of his button factory upon a fiesta-spir- ited throng in Allen Street, spoke for the “seven million” when he said simply: “Yes, id's nize mamma and the babics should have maybe some sonshine, witt air, wit room.” | Only in New York might you come | upon 15,000 humans celebrating the achievement of a little more space, a peep of daylight and stretching space in the air, He % Allen Street, nationally identified} as “brass town,” is no longer “the street of shadows.” To a visitor in- terested in social welfare, this East Side highway now presents a study in “before and after taking.” To the westward, Allen Street re- mains as it has been through the generations. Elevated tracks are as a grim, black river overflowing into tenement windows. One needs but thrust out an arm to touch one of the cross-ties of the “El.” # e * The Old and the New Once the Bowery found in this dank, clammy corridor a rich field for its fungus overgrowth. Dives of rankest odor thrived. Time turned airless, sunless basements into thriving nests of craftsmen and artisans. Workers in brass hammered out their wares in the half-light and today a “world of brass” attracts tourists and searchers for Manhattan's more colorful atmos- phere. Here are andirons and Eliza- bethan table bells; Spanish lanterns and door knockers, ash trays and can- dlesticks, pots and kettles.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Med- feal Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine A special report of the White House Conference on Child Health and Pro- tection deals with handicapped and gifted children. ‘While 35,000,000 of the 45,000,000 children in America are reasonably normal and while 1,500,000 of the children are especially gifted, it 1s found that 5,630,000 are handl- capped to an extent requiring special attention in education. A committee charged with investi- gation of handicapped children finds 3,000,000 with impaired hearing; 18,000 totally deaf; 1,000,000 with defective speech; 1,000,000 with weak or dam- aged hearts; 450,000 mentally retard- ed; 300,000 crippled; 14,000 wholly blind and 50,000 partially blind. One of the aims of the White House Conference, as e: d in the chil- dren’s charter, applies directly to these children. It says: “For every child who is blind, deaf, crippled, or other- wise physically handicapped, and for the child who is mentally handi- capped, such measures as will early discover and diagnose his handicap, provide care and treatment, and so train him that he may become an as- set to society rather than a liability. “Expenses of these services should be borne publicly where they cannot —_—_—$———————————_—_— tacked the Italian lines at several points, but failed to make gains of any importance. rey I am pleading for a policy broad enough to include every part of our economic structure.

Your Child’s Health " Special Training for Handicapped Children Is Far From Adequate ; Nearly 3,000,000 Partially Deaf Get No Special Instruction be privately met.” ‘Accomplishment of this aim is still far away. Six thousand children who are blind are being educated in public or private schools for the blind, but there are 8,000 not receiving such at- tention. Five thousand children who see with great difficulty are enrolled in special sight-saving classes, but there are 45,000 who are not receiving such con- sideration. Only 20,000 of the children; who are hard of hearing are being given special training in overcoming their defect. There are 2,980,000 par- tially deaf children who are not hav- ing the benefit of such training. Few people realize the great diffi- culty of providing special education for these children. There is a class for blind children was maintained by the town poy ‘was not entitled under the law to be educated at the expense of bt nization obtained a welfare organization Por ruling by the school board of the town admitting the child and ob- tained from a bus line a special pass which entitled the little girl to be brought into the city on the bus each day and taken home each evening. ‘As may be imagined, many hours of work and much correspondence were required before these results were accomplished. ‘When it is realized that there are probably 20,000 other children who ought to have the same efforts ex- erted in their behalf, the scope of the problem becomes more apparent. It is a better policy to spend money today in teaching the handicapped children to take care of themselves than to take care of them at public expense when they grow older. THE END Play Ball!

They're all wear- ing them this season.” When Rose said “they” in that firm voice Su- san bowed to her superior knowl- edge. Rose, an. assistant buyer now, knew exactly what “they” wero going to wear before “they” knew it themselves. For the 11th time that evening Susan said, “I can't go.” “Nonsense!” Rose was very brisk. “It’s the chance of a lifetime. Wouldn't I jump at it, though? And it {sn't as if they were all strangers, After all, Ben's an old a wi name sound all right.” ics “Oh, they're terrible,” Susan an- nounced with simple earnestness. “It you ever saw them—!” Rose gave this comment scant attention, “Well, you're not responsible for them anyhow,” rie said with calm, “a slong and look your pretti- est and have a good time.

My mother always says that one beau attracts others and I think she's right. Anyhow, be nice to him at this party.” “I will,” Susan promised, She told herself she would try to be friendly but if Ben started any more nonsense about wanting to be engaged she'd have to snub him. She vent about her work Friday almost in a daze. Her face was hot apd her hands were like ice. She thought several times, wildly, of sending a telegram to Denise to say she was ill, but always the thought of seeing Bob Dunbar deterred her. Pierson snapped at her once or twice during the afternoon but s! searcely him. Susan's thoughts were all on the morrow, Her heart would thud paintully at the prospect. The fashionable world in which Denise moved and had her being was an uncharted land for Susan. There were no guldeposts, Throu,h the whirlpool of her reflections there persisted the nagging idea that Denise had some curious purpose in inviting her. Again and again Susan San- ished this thought. Rose arrived at 8 o'clock with the new dressing bag of green leather. the MAN HUNTERS BY MABEL McELLIOTT “It's much tvo nice.
