Harnessed to it tle boy. many he didn’t try to remember them —the boy had pulled with the dogs. Under the blankets on the sled were @ three-year-old boy and a woman who was dangerously ill. The story the group told was very simple. When the Eskimo family had been left destitute at the death of the father, the boy had gone into the forests, hunting game and fish. One day he had too much meat for the dogs to pull. He fitted a harness to jhis own shoulders and helped to drag jthe provisions home. It was hard work. But he didn't complain. His mother, who had been ill when he left, was much worse. There was nothing to do but take his place with the dogs again and start on the 160- mile trip to the place where the near- est doctor had an office.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER Cncorporated) YCHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON fae Financial Applesauce A bill which has attracted both support and condemnation in con- gress is that offered by Rep. Golds- borough to stabilize prices by con- trolling the issuance of currency and tthe extension of credit. In simple it works out very simply. Af prices begin to go up, currency is ‘withdrawn from circulation and they come down. If they start downward, more money is issued to bring money ‘nd commodities into better balance. ‘The idea probably is wrong, viewed from the standpoint of the long pull, because it assumes that the price level of 1926, which would be the standard is the ideal one and this is hardly true. It allows little room for Progress and improvement. The bill would employ the federal reserve system as a stabilizing agency, ‘but bankers observe that it has a man-sized job on hand already to stabilize the currency. Inveighing against the measure, Benjamin M. Anderson, Jr., Ph.D., economist for the Chase National Bank of New York, offers arguments against it and re-affirms his belief that a central bank should stick to its own knitting. The purposes of a central bank, he “(1) It is the business of a cen- tral bank to protect the paper money of the country by convert- ing it into gold on demand. This is its first and most essential function, and everything else must be subordinated to this. “(2) It is the business of a cen- tral bank to ease off monetary stringencies and to prevent busi- ness crises from degenerating in- to money panics. In a crisis, the central bank supplies whatever money is necessary, at a steep dis- count rate. It enables solvent men to protect their solvency, but it does not regard it as its duty to validate the unsound assets of really insolvent men, or to help defer the liquidation of stale po- sitions. “(3) In times of great specula- tive excesses, whether in com- modities or in securities, central banks should act to prevent the extension of unsound credits, to protect the liquidity of the banks of the country, and to check spec- ulative excesses, by tightening the money market. “(4) It is not the business of a central bank to finance a boom— least of all, a stock market boom.” The theory is sound enough but one §s justified in wondering whether it ‘always has been applied by the pow- ers controlling the federal reserve system and organizations affiliated (with it. Item number one is based on the theory that the gold standard must be protected—and it must unless and funtil we find something better. Purpose number two sounds good, jeven if one wonders whether the functioning in this respect always jhas been 100 per cent. | But items numbers three and four ape start some real argument. | There is more than a little reason to believe that the federal reserve | jeystem made no real efforts to curb ’ \ppculative excesses. On the contrary j 4s evidence that it became in- goculated with the same germ that af- ents Eo q ~~ ® t t /mounced that we were on a sound 'pasis and that prosperity, in the full J ‘plush of its perfection, was to be our ‘Bteady diet.

The boy didn't ask for any praise. {His mother would live, he was told. That was enough reward for him. The modesty of the lad, the fact that he did something brave merely because it was his duty attracted at- tention to him. It reminds us that the spectacular feat isn’t necessarily the courageous one. It isn’t so hard to rise to heights when the banners through the northland, pulling with the dogs, racing against death, with nobody to know or care if you make it or if you don’t—that requires stamina. It is quite in keeping with the epi- sode that the name of the youngster is not known. He wouldn't want it to be. Optimism for the Railroads A prominent railroad executive de- clares himself “an incurable optimist on our railroads,” and predicted that restoration of the railroads “to their former position of leadership in the life and commerce of America” will follow revival of industry. He based his views upon the super- ior efficiency of railroads, the low cost of their freight service, the un- equaled comfort, convenience and safety of rail travel, and the fact that “the railroads alone provide depend- able, year-round operation in every climate, in low and high altitudes, in sunshine and storm, through sleet, hail, snow, fog and rain, by night as easily as by day—safely, surely and substantially free from interruption.” He predicted that public opinion would compel the effective regulation of highway transport by the federal and state governments; also that the regulation of railroads would be pro- gressively liberalized until the two are on a comparable basis. This is a more hopeful attitude than is usually shown by railroad Managements, but there is ground for it.

Tit, Tat, Toe (Devils Lake Journal) The Minnesota situation represents primary elections at their worst. The efforts of the legislature to gerry- mander the congressional districts at | the expense of Minneapolis resulted jin a veto by Governor Olson, which ‘has recently been upheld by the | United States supreme court. The jresult is that there are no congres- sional districts in Minnesota and the nine congressmen are to be elected at large. For these positions, 89 candi- dates have filed. Of this number, 35 will appear on the Republican ballot, 32 seek Farmer-Labor endorsement, and 22 will run as Democrats. It is obvious that with such a mass of candidates, in addition to the large number who are seeking state, legis- lative, and local office, few voters will be sufficiently acquainted with the names to vote intelligently. This is particularly dangerous to the present congressmen. They may be well and! favorably known in their own dis- tricts, but they may be almost en- tirely unknown throughout the rest of the state. Sensing this situation, many men having a statewide ac- quaintance have entered the race. These include former governors J. A. A. Burnquist and Theodore Christian- son, former senator Magnus Johnson, | Ray P. Chase, formerly state auditor and Republican candidate for s0v-| ernor two years ago, nad N. J. Holm-/ berg, and Henry Rines. Several of the candidates have pe- culiar interest to North Dakotans. Outstanding among these is A. C. Townley, the founder of the Nonpart-; isan League, who is seeking nomina-| tion on the Farmer-Labor ticket. Two years ago, Mr. Townley tried unsu jeesstully to gain the Republican en- dorsement in the third district of; North Dakota. This year he has adopted a new state and a new party. Henry G. Teigan, who also secks Farmer-Labor support, will be re- membered as one of Mr. Townley’s Meutenants in the early days of the; League. Arthur R.

A e Open Season on Suckers New York, May 17.—Broadway’s burleycue battle, as scrambled a spectacle as 42nd street itself, pre- sents aspects that range from the fantastic to the sinister. Conglomerately allied in defense or assault, as the burlesque stronghold is threatened, one finds bankers and pie clerks; intellectuals and penny arcade moguls; shooting gallery si- rens and famous clergymen; critics and peep show barkers. One learns that among those who have gazed upon the strippers and grinders at various times have been the erudite George Jean Nathan; the meticulous Otto Kahn; the lithe and talented Gertrude Laurence; the literary Hor- ace Liveright; to say nothing of Maurice Chevalier, a couple of Marx brothers and many others. **# & All this is quite amusing! But the casual testimony of a witness throws a shadow over whatever comedy there may be. It seems that 5000 “steerers now prowl the mid-town streets looking for prey. There is an overlord, a “chief steerer, who is a super-rack- eteer in charge of this great army of sucker trimmers.

Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis, or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady if a stamped, self- addressed envelope is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written in ink. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. || Address Dr. William Brady, The following letter has been received from Dr. Brady with a request that we pass it on to Tribune readers: It looks like great stuff, it gives the inside dope on your insides which some- times work better when they are upside down. But the letter speaks for itself. Here it is: DEAR TRIBUNE READERS: The well-known etymologist, Noah Webster, famous as author of “The Unabridged,” never attended a circus. Had he gone to the circus or even the sideshow I am sure he would never have made that dreadful error which mars Chapter XIX of his magnus opus, for he would have dis- covered that a somersault is not a flying leap in the air in which a com- Plete revolution of the body is exe- cuted. That is an air spring, if I ever saw a circus—and I have never missed one for less than a funeral in the family. A somersault is nothing of the kind. Incidentally, any reader who con- sults Webster for advice about somer- saults may sue Webster for any acci- dents which may befall. I do not ad- vise anyone to turn air springs before breakfast. I have never approved of this habit of running to eminent specialists; I have always urged read- ers to leave everything to the family doctor. If the doctor can’t handle it, he will suggest a competent special- ist. People who take fliers at spec- consequence. More Child’s Play Any child will show you how to roll somersaults on the floor. You squat down on hands and toes, place your head on a pillow or rug or mattress on the floor, place your hands on the floor a few inches behind the plane Charlie, the broker had “made the rounds” and a quickly whispered in- yitation had been accepted. For two days he was held captive, while friends raised $2000 to “get him out.” xx # Boop-a-Doop Mystery The great boop-a-doop mystery now joins those other famous cases, Watson! There's the unsolved matter of whence came “hi-de-di” and “ho-de- ho.” And the hot-cha-cha affair still baffles the police! It’s not so elementary this time my dear fellow! Helen Kane, who once cashed in on “booping” and cashed out on court litigation, believes there's still gold in them boops. In fact she “Betty Boop.” It all depends upon where boop- a-doop came from. Was or was not Miss Kane the first of the boopers? The answer is believed to lie in Harlem. Scouts now search the Negro cabarets for data. They find themselves getting a bit tangled in the ramifications of the scat song. And one of the amusing issues will be whether or not anyone can “boop” or whether booping is Miss Kane's own and particular property. * 4 # Funny Figures Pay While hundreds of lovely ladies, ith those long sleezy shapes, wan- der about seeking jobs, a sudden de- mand has developed for hippy, buxom and generally corpulent models. To be sure, they are not desired for modeling the latest French styles. Model agencies inform me that big shops are using them for “contrast” shows. One of the town’s biggest stores demonstrating the newer corset, pre- sented a show of portly dames in bi- cycle bloomers and old-fashioned leg- o’-mutton sleeves. Anything for a laugh! But it works.

That is one way in which the complexion becomes rejuvenated and cold feet are remedied. Out Go Kinks The alimentary tube is subject to kinks and sags and all sorts of ob- stacles incident to our upright pos- ture. Somersaults unkink the kinks, take out the slack and help to over- ‘come the obstacles. Hence the relief to autointoxication, and constipation and flatulence, and digestive diffi- culties. Young women with menstrual dif- ficulties obtain relief by faithfully following somersaults through many months, provided the treatment is not interrupted at the periods and there is no serious organic disease, Some remedies have contra-indica- tions, as well as indications. I know of none for somersaults. One cannot be too young or too old to turn somer- Saults. One cannot be too stout or too thin to turn them. One who has recently had an oper- ation may begin turning somersaults as soon as walking is possible. Women with displacements are not injured and often helped a great deal by somersaults. Expectant mothers need not interrupt somersaults if they have the habit. It's Not Exercise Old and hardened criminals who BEGIN HERE TODAY ROB DUNBAR, millionaire's so: at a house part; es.

The more of an old fossil one is, the sillier it seems. It is @ far cry from our dignity—and dig- nity is what makes us grow old young. In the abdominal cavity and the lower part of the thoracic cavity are innumerable blood vessels capable of holding more than one-fourth of the entire mass of blood in the body. This is the great splanchnic pool, which, in persons with too much dig- nity, as in women who wear corsets to hold them up, is likely to be stag- nant.

He looked at the girl with some dissatisfaction as she got into the car. “What on earth’s the matter?” Susan asked. “Nothing, except that I wish you’d let me give you that fur coat now instead of waiting until later,” the man remarked, eee USAN shook her head. On this Point she was stubborn. She would take anything for Aunt Jes- sie but nothing for herself until she was rightfully Heath's wife. “I thought we'd go out to that little Spanish place for tea,” he ot | said. “That would be nice. I'd like F that,” she assured him. The lux- ury and care with which he sur- rounded her was almost suffocat- ing. Was she warm enough? Why had she worn those thin shoes? Susan appreciated the solicitude, at the same time finding it a little trying. Young men were not like this she reminded herself. Young men were careless and selfish and arrogant, “What are you thinking of? You look as if you were miles away.” She turned to smile at him. “Only of how good you are to me.” There! She had pleased him and with so little. She was almost ashamed. It was so easy to make him happy. She divined some- thing of his former loneliness. The drive was longer than Su- san had expected and it was dark when at last they returned to the city. It had been a clear, cold, sunshiny day, and a faint light still lingered on the lake. On sudden impulse Susan sald, “Let's walk along the lake wall.” She wanted quite unreasonably to escape from the warm, luzuri- ous car and feel the east wind on her cheeks. Heath told Simon to wait for them at: the turn of the at 80 a to “It's lovely here, isn’t itt” breathed the girl.

Somehow the idea had made her uneasy. She had refused to see Ben since Christmas eve when he had out- rageously kissed her. “What's that?” she asked fear-; fully, glancing over her shoulder. “Nothing at all.

Susan flung another anxious glance over her shoulder. Her nerves were certainly in a bad state. She could have sworn she had seen the shadow of a figure behind that oak tree. She heard the whine of some- thing past her ear. Heath Srasped her arm roughly and be- eeeiwhats th “What's the matter?” she pant- ed, flying along beside him. ms “Nothing, nothing! Only come along.

The park at this hour at this par- ticular place was deserted. “Who is the fool?” Heath de- manded in a low, angry voice. “I know him,” Susan mur- mured. “I saw him for an instant under the light. It’s a boy I used to see.” Heath glanced at her shrewdly. He knitted his brows for a mo- ment, debating. Then he ordered Simon sharply, “Better drag the young idiot in here. We must hush this up-at all costs.” eee Susan tried to protest. Calmly Heath ordered her to get into the front seat beside the chauffeur, His left arm hanging at his side, he managed to help Simon drag the limp figure of the boy into the car, “Drive to Dr. Blake's in Bank street,” he told Simon fiercely. “The young fool’s still alive, thank Heaven, although hé doesn’t deserve to be.” Susan put throbbing hands to her temples. The horror of the situation overwhelmed her. Sure- ly she would wake, and find she had been dreaming. Dr. Blake's home had a drive- way and a service door opening directly upon that. No one mo- lested them or questioned them as they lifted the unconscious figure and carried it inside. “You*wait here,” Heath told Su- san, “I don’t want you mixed up in this." He looked older, sterner. “Your arm?” she faltered. Oh, she had not meant to bring trouble to him! “It’s all right. Blake will at- tend to it in a few minutes. Don’t worry. It’s lucky this happened 80 near his office. I've known him for years.” Simon came out, waiting or- dere, Heath told him, “You're to take Miss Carey home and come back for me.” Susan asked timidly, “You'll telephone me later and let me know what happens?” “Of course.” She had never liked him as much as she did at that moment. She leaned him and said, softly and hurriedly, “This boy hasn’t any claim on me.” Heath's face lighted, but he said rather brusquely, “You didn’t “Will he lve?” asked Susan, th "Blake saya ee doesn't know.” _ (To Be Cominued),
