(Official City, State and County — Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER Cncorporated) | CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON W. C. T. U. in the Lead As the lines are drawn for the wet- dry fight in this election year it be- comes more and more apparent that} the backbone of the dry cause will bé the Women’s Christian Temper- ance Union, whose zeal and earnest- ness has never been questioned. A list of all the dry organizations which have participated in this fight would include many which have taken part only when funds were plentiful. The W. C. T. U. gets its funds from its members and the size of outside contributions never has figured in its plans. Therein lies one of its great assets as a militant organization. The Anti-Saloon League still ex- ists and is as active as it can be with the resources available, but it no longer performs on the grand scale which it knew in the palmy days when Wayne B. Wheeler was the confidant of presidents and the; ruler of congresses. Financially, the movement has fallen on evil days as more and more persons of wealth be- came distrustful of prohibition’s ef- fect on the nation. Unless something is done, there- fore, it appears that the brunt of the battle will fall upon the W. C. T. U., ever active and ever faithful to a cause in which it has implicit confi- dence. The wets would do well not to discount the effectiveness of this organization in planning the cam- paign which they fancy will make prohibition a memory. This organi- _.jthat “ample funds, The Bismarck Tribune|*e"" 100k bleak and lonesome if we can spot a few ducks here and there on its surface or among its weeds, Will Wool Make It? Despite the failure of government sponsored agencies to stabilize prices of such products as wheat and cotton on a satisfactory basis, the indica- tions are that the National Wool Mar- keting corporation, another subsidiary of the farm board, contemplates an additional experiment along this line. A recent announcement from Bos- ‘ton said the corporation is “prepared | to handle the entire wool production of the United States for 1932,” and warehousing fa- cilities and experienced personnel for financing and efficient handling have been provided.” The same statement asserted that, as a result, growers need no longer accept offers which ignore present tariff protection and that the wool remaining from the 1931 crop would be “marketed to orderly mill demand as in the past, having in mind the protection of values.” It is significant that the announce- ment followed conferences between C. B. Denman, member of the farm board; George H. Thomas, chief of the board's loan division; the execu- tive committee of the wool coopera- tive, and representatives of large fi- nancial institutions. The new experiment will be worth watching. It may be a dismal failure but, if it is successful, it may show that the cooperative idea is a real one which, under proper conditions, will point the way to higher prices for farm products. In this connection it must be ad- mitted that the wheat and cotton co- operatives came into the field at a difficult time and that there is no telling what the result might have been if they had not been in the mar- kets to cushion the drop of falling prices. The average man, be he on the farm, in industry or in busincss, is 2 little puzzled by the whole affair. The government's experiment, as it stands now, is just one more uncertainty in a world beset by uncertainty. It may be that further experimentation on the original lines of farm board oper- ation is the only way to prove or dis- prove the value of the original idea.

These are the arguments which will form the basis of the dry cam- paign. The wets must meet them if they are to score the victory which many now anticipate. More Nesting Places With respect to liking places with a home-like atmosphere, human be- other wildfowl, according to the fed- eral biological survey, which now is conducting a campaign to increase the number of breeding places for our annual feathered visitors. Among the slogans which it has advanced to gain interest in this ef- fort are: “Flood a marsh for the mal- lards,” “A pond for pintails,” “Wild rice for waterfowl,” “Dam a ditch and save the ducks” and “Give water- fowl a piece of your land.” Also in furtherance of this effort the survey publicly offers to give hts Mihi cpnscllt 9 1p 5c Alaoretibaseent EIEN reduced | termining factor nationally. cause no outstanding candidate was opposing him. Much of his support was tentative. Then Alfred E. Smith became ac- tive and took Massachusetts. That was an omen. But it was not a de- Massa- chusetts was known as a Smith stronghold, and his victory there had been largely discounted in advance. li-| More significant was the result in Pennsylvania, where Mr. Smith cut heavily into the anticipated Roose- velt majority. But the California result is far more important. It was the first real test on neutral ground. And it defi- nitely gave to the combined anti- Roosevelt and native son forces more than the one-third total of conven- tion votes necessary to stop Mr. Roo- sevelt—if the convention wishes to stop him. Of course, the Garner victory in California does not mean that Mr. Garner will be the nominee any more than the Smith victory in Massachu- setts meant that Mr. Smith would be the nominee. Mr. Garner's failure to measure up to his job as party chief in the house of representatives probably has elimi- nated him from serious national con- sideration, The final convention test is apt to be between Mr. Roosevelt and some candidate not now active. Under or- dinary conditions that probably would result in the convention managers ype. But, with the present marked pub- lic pregsure for a great leader to bring the nation out of the worst depres- sion in our history, the Democratic managers are not likely to be foolish enough to throw the election to Her- bert Hoover by running a second- rater against him. It is precisely that standard of leadership, in our judgment, which Mr. Roosevelt will have to achieve to get the nomination. He sets himself up aS an outstanding leader. He looks well. His speeches sound well. But in recent months as governor of New York he has not lived up to his professions and his promise.

This is, indeed, touche in a duel which Broadway has watched with amusement for years. It was Car- roll's turn to thrust last time. The New Amsterdam many years been identified with the Ziegfeld Follies. Then, one season, when the cards failed to run Ziggy's way, Carroll moved in with a music show. Ziegfeld had proudly bannered his girlies as the world’s most beautiful. Whereupon Carroll hung a sign on the stage entrance reading: “Through these portals NOW pass the most beautiful girls in the world.” x eX This slogan has since been freely paraphrased by the wags. When Carroll was reported entertaining lavishly on his yacht, a local comic wrote: “Through these portholes now pass the most beautiful girls in the world.” Then, when it became evident that Carroll's theater was about to be taken over by the landlord, a festive party was staged Whereupon an- other wisecracker came out with: “Through these portals now OUT the most beautiful girls in the world.” At any rate, at the moment it's a clean thrust for Ziegfeld. His first official act was to change the thea- ter's name from the Carroll to the Casino. xe & Ray Perkins, radio performer, sends in a shrewd comment: “There are a lot of people around New York who would like to forget that stock that a broker told them to put away and forget.” ee * Maude Eschews Broadway And another note from the barn- storming Maude Adams company in- forms me that Miss Adams will posi- tively not come to Broadway with “The Merchant of Venice.” Having recaptured her stage yearnings, Miss STICKERS NDSCRMNATVE ~+ The letter i is missing five times from the above.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association In 1880 the first public baths were introduced in Philadelphia. They consisted largely of indoor pools, in- dividual baths and laundries. In 1900 a -survey made by 8. Baruch, who was for long a leader in the pro- motion of public bathing pools, found that there were in the United States 67 public pools. By 1931, this number had increased to 540. A questionnaire circulated in 1927 indicated that there were at least 5,000 private swimming pools in ‘this country. The only danger to health from swimming pools lies, of course, in their possible action as a carrier of disease.

This drain on Italy's forces was said not to weaken the Italian front which, at the same time, was prepar- ing for a threatened Austrian push. British troops succeeded in restor- ing their line at Albert, which had been broken by Germans the day be- fore. Rumania dissolved its Parliament and new elections were ordered. In Hungary, too, politics were getting the front page. A new cabinet, head- ed by Dr. Wekerle, was formed. —————$$___________—. | Barbs | anne 1 Few of us can blame John J. Ras- kob for being a bear.

It birthday. His ruddy face under the thatch of smoothly combed, sandy hair was aglow with the con- sciousness of a good deed done. “I feel like a blooming Boy Scout,” he chuckled to himself, throwing his heavy ulster over a | chair and beginning to sort his pa- | pers. Susan came in looking as though she had spent a bad night. “Good morning.” She looked at him in surprise, astonished that anyone should feel cheerful enough to call this morn- ing good! “Don’t be so woebegone,” he ad- vised, seating himself on her desk and watching as she removed the small hat and hung away her coat in the closet reserved for that pur- pose, Suddenly he remembered. “Surely you've heard the storm is over?” he asked incredulously. ‘I don’t know what you mean.” He took her hands and gave her “ a little whirl. “I fixed everything,” he announced, “Me, the Boy Scout!” “You what?” Her face came alive. “Just what I said,” the man in- sisted, “The danger’s over and there's nothing for you to worry about.” “I don’t believe St,” Susan told him but her eyes danced just the same, “How did you do it?” Waring put up one hand and struck an attitude of mock modesty. “It’s not @ story for little giris’ ears,” he-told her. “All you need SUSAN CARBY, 19 and pretty, WAR- to Heath, tries to ut jscour= with her aunt RAY ed im the next from |AN, serious-minded to know is that you're safe. The alienation suit is off.” “Then they’ve made it up?” Su- san asked, “I wouldn't exactly say that. The fact of the matter is Mrs, Heath has decided to get a divorce in- stead. A very polite, restrained, dignified Reno divorce. “You mean she's—she’s not going to drag me into it?” “No, not at all, Why should s! “Oh, thank God!” “Well, you might also thank me a little,” Waring said irreverently. “I was the little fixer, after all.” “I do! I think it was marvel- ous.” She meant it. She thought she must have misunderstood this man. He seemed so kind now. He grinned, reading her thoughts. “Do you think I can keep my Job or will it be too awkward?” Susan asked, “Awkward for whom? No one knows anything about it but the three of'us, We like you here, Why should you trail around town an- swering want because a jealous woman has 2 brain storm?” eee pt that way, it seemed the most simple and reasonable thing in the world. Susan drew a deep breath and held up her head again. Everything was all right. She was grateful for her escape from danger and she put that gratitude into, her work, The three men in the office, so different in background and tastes, felt the magi¢ of her pres- ence. The gray day was brighter because a young girl smiled at them. “You're 8 funny one,” Ray said again and again. “You seem per- fectly happy just to work and not have any fun.” Susan did not try to explain the glorious sense of freedom and re lease which had come to her that morning when Waring had brought her the good news. It was enough just ‘to be safe and secure, She no longer seemed impatient for good times, Ray rushed in one day at noon and ssid excitedly, “Have lunch with me, won't you?” Susan began to explain that she had planned to meet Rose. “Please break it. Honest, this 1s| berin; important,” Ray urged. Her dan- delion locks were ruffled and there was.a streak of mascara under one eye. Could Ray have been crying? Susan dismissed the not but something in the other girl’s air of suppressed excitement made her de- cide to go with her. the MAN HUNTERS BY MABEL _McELLIOTT “Meet you in the lobby in 10 min- utes,” Ray threw over her shoulder. There was no real privacy to be had in any of the restaurants where they usually lunched, but Susan spied a small table back near the Kitchen in their pet “Sandwich Shoppe.” Harried waitresses brushed their shoulders with dan- gerously laden trays and once or twice both girls escaped a deluge of hot coffee but they managed some- how among the clatter and steam and gabble of tongues to achieve a small oasis of calm. Ray began, “Honest, Susan, it gets my goat. I’m all in a lather about it!” Susan looked her surprise. “Do you mean to say you haven't heard? Sky was married last night at Crown Point. Sent me a wire, cool as you please. ‘Congratulate me’ he says.” “I didn’t know you cared any- thing about him,” said Susan. see R* winked those preposterous lashes once or twice and her eyes were hard and bright as mar. bles, “Sky was—well we were practi- cally just like that,” she said, hold- i} > A) @©/932 BY NEA SERVICE Inc. lashes, “A person talks,” Ray said thick- ly and unsteadily, “A person says a lot of things that turn out to be hooey when a person finds out what {t's all about.” Susan hated to look at her. She did not need to look to know that Ray was crying openly. “I'm terribly, terribly sorry,” she said. “I didn’t know you cared at all” She was shocked beyond words at this exposure, To see Ray, so hard and bright and as- sured, thus shaken was a shatter- ing experience. If this was love, thought Susan to herself, half-hu- morously, half-pityingly, it’s some- thing to stear clear of. eee R** dried her eyes and began to talk quickly and frrelevantly about nothing at all. She renewed her makeup and before they went out on the street she seemed her own, bright, slangy self. But Su- san could not forget the glimpse of suffering she had seen. It made her fonder of Ray. This little doll- faced person was real, What a Queer world, she mused! Ray had built herself a wall of philosophy ing up two fingers. “What burns me up is the way he did it. Not that I would have married him my- self. Honestly, the kid hasn’t good sense but we were out together Tuesday night dancing and he come up to the house afterward and he was just as sweet as could be.” Susin was mystified. Jf Ray thought Schuyler Webb hadn't good sense, why did she mind his having married someone elsé? Ray gabbled on, “Course, I've heard him talk about this girl all winter but he always pretended he couldn't see her. She has scads of money. That's the answer.” “T thought Sky was rich,” Susan murmured, feeling she ought to say He practically lost his shirt in the market last year. His drawing account was all used up. I knew that last week.” remem- is Ray's oft-repeated remarks about the folly of becoming a poor man’s wife, “Well, then, you Wouldn't have wanted him anyway, You know what you've always said about wanting 8 mink coat and a duplex apartment and a roadster.” | h Ray tossed her bead and Susan could see s tear glittering on her and a stupid, vapid, ordinary young man had broken it down. Of one thing Susan was certain. Ray would not be hurt in the same way again, The incident awoke for a while the old pain Susan had felt about Bob. She had not heard from him since that eventful night at the Ackroyds’. Where'was he and what was he doing? She tried not to think of him but io her heart knew that daily she dreaded the news of his marriage. Would she ever rid herself of this foolishness? It was like a fever, an ague. You thought you were over it completely and then some word—some phrase—a strain of music, perhaps, would start it all over again. She shook her head impatiently. ‘This was getting her nowhere. She would be like Ray, cool and de termined and ruthless. She would Dut Bob out of her heart forever. Susan bent over her work, try! to efface herself in its min te Dersonality. A voice sald at her elbow. “May I see Mr. Heath. Oh, I beg your pardon. How do you do?” She felt shaken. Her heart plunged frighteningly, She heard erself say calmly, “Mr. Dunbar.
