(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Picture—And You If it did not strike your eye when you looked at this issue of The Trib- une, turn back the page and look again at George Clark's drawing on page 1. It portrays more graphically than is possible in words the problem which many families are facing this winter and the bravery with which some mothers of Bismarck are daily calling upon their failing resources of courage and physical stamina to meet the burdens which the times have imposed upon them. Look at those small mouths which must be fed. Look at the trusting wistfulness of those eyes and then estimate how much you can really give to the Community Chest drive which begins next Monday. In the best of times there are al- ways deserving families and indivi- duals who need help. Sickness, acci- dent and misfortune are no respect- ers of persons or of the calendar. This year the number of such groups is multiplied. Men who have never before known want, now find themselves helpless to care for their families. Women who have felt that they never could accept charity for themselves are driven to ask for help ‘by the stark necessity which faces their children. The times have pinched everyone. Many who have been favored by for- tune have found that they must share their blessings with less-for- tunate relatives. Sons and daughters have come home to live with parents, | bringing their broods with them.| Parents have gone to live with their} sons and daughters, driven by the, grim necessity to which no one is a| stranger if he will but look about him. Yet there remain many who have no loving, helpful hands stretched out to them by others within the family circle. There are men, women and children who face hunger, cold and desperation unless we, the people of Bismarck, make common cause against a common enemy. | The record which this city has) made in the past and the achieve- ments recorded already this winter leave no cause for doubt that the sense of humanity which abides in us all will respond to the present need. All of us should remember that fate plays queer tricks and that many who now must ask our help were once in position where they never dreamed that such necessity could exist. Look again at the picture on page one. Weigh in your own mind whether it means most to you to fore- go some luxury and give your full share to the community chest or to give yourself the luxury and enjoy it with those pleading eyes upon you. This is a decision which each of us must make. Only those who make it rightly will have within their hearts that inner ‘glow of self-satis- faction which comes from having done the right thing. The Right Attitude Attorney General-elect A. J. Gron- na, Jr. established # reputation for! plain speaking by his statement Thursday in which he announced his \ntention to continue enforcement of the state prohibition law until it is repealed. In this attitude every law-abiding citizen, whether he favors or opposes prohibition, will agree with him. To permit unbridled bootlegging without best he can with whatever facilities the legislature gives him. He is equally right in opposing re- peal of the state prohibition enforce- ment statutes until the 18th amend- ment is repealed. Only when that is done will it be possible to regulate and tax the liquor business as the people of the state now seem to de- ‘sire. It is inconceivable that they jwant an unbridled liquor traffic! without control or restriction of any kind. But the basis of Gronna’s bur- geoning reputation for courageous plain-speaking is his remarks ad-! dressed to the drys of the state. In| & manner which no public official| has dared to adopt in this state for generations he has pointed to what he considers their own shortcomings | and weaknesses. i North Dakota Represented | Among the members of a commit-; tee to consider war debt revision, headed by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., pres-| ident of the General Motors, are two} North Dakotans, James W. Pollock, | director of the Russell-Miller Milling! company, and Walter R. Reed, Fargo, | owner of the Walter R. Reed Seed} farms. | The report is signed by many dis- tinguished American economists and educators. Prominent among them} are Nicholas Murray Butler, Frank ;O. Lowden, Alfred E. Smith and George W. Wickersham, former at-} torney general of the United States. Such names free the report from any political bias. These business men, in their findings favor a cut as] first aid to a revival of business. Complete cancellation is rejected.! Extension of the moratorium is sug-| gested as one of the ways out and to give time for readjustment of the war debts, Three recommendations are made: That the elected representa- tives of the American people re- cognize this vital and delicate problem as a non-partisan issue to be settled strictly on its merits in the best interests of the Uni- Beer-Conscious!

Amy Johnson, British woman flier, beat her husband's record for a flight from London to Cape Town and add- ed another to her already long list of exploits. But it is a fair question if this sort of record-breaking or record-making really means anything. The thing which is tested most severely is a Piece of mechanism rather than flying skill or knowledge. In these races the Person with the latest and most im- proved machine usually wins. Except as they provide stringent tests for motors and designs, such flights are of little value. The really important records of modern aviation are not those made by the Amy Johnson's, the Mollisons, the Frank Hawks and others of their daring associates but the steady day- in-and-day-out records of success and safety which are being made by the commercial airlines in this and other | countries, Extreme development of a Product, whether it be toothpicks or } flying machines, means nothing with- out public acceptance. Editorial Comment | Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors They are published without regi to whether they agree or d with The pune's poli Auld Lang Syne (New York Times) All right-feeling men and women must be hoping as one that Josephus Daniel's extraordinary proposal is sharply turned down, and that it will not be a case of the Forgotten Don- key. Woodrow Wilson's secretary of the navy urges that the Democratic par- ty abandon the donkey as its em- blem and adopt the rooster. Daniels argues on historic and esthe- tie grounds. He says the rooster was the Democratic emblem until the genius of the cartoonist Thomas Nast foisted the donkey upon the Demo- crats, As to looks, there can be no comparison. “The rooster has ten times more style and beauty and clar- ion call than the donkey.” In other words, Mr. Daniels wants the Democratic party in its hour of triumph to behave exactly like too many prospectors who have struck gold and too many pick and shovel men who have become captains of industry. They discard the wife of their youth, the companion of their toils and their struggles, and then marry some one from the chorus with 100 times as much style and beauty and clarion call. This must not be. All these years. the donkey has wandered with the Democrats in the desert, a helpmeet and a prop. It has, so to speak, borne Democratic children in pain and privation. It has shared with them the last crust of bread, taking for itself much the smelier piece. It has been patient and brave under pluralities of five million, six million, seven million. And now, when the clouds have roll- ed away and the sun is , this faithful companion of years of exile is to be discarded for a gaudy, feath- ered, loud-voiced, struttihg creature. anes, cries out agaihst it the ide: rejects it. The Demo- cratic party in its hour of prosperity needs to keep those prominent don- key ears always before it as a remin- der; but still more as a warning. A ship's captain is empowered to conduct a marriage ceremony on his boat if the occasion arises. ‘ | gentlemen or aristocrats, bourgeoisie In Europe it is a simple matter to divide people into three classes, | or shopkeepers and peasants or la- borers. In this country that classi+| fication won't do at all. Here we have two great classes: Those who itch in the summer time and those who have pruritus in winter. Although scabies is still the most popular variety if itch on a large scale (epidermaphytosis, “toe itch,” is of course far more prevalent but this ringworm infection is just trial size itching), and scabies happens in the best regulated households, I assure you, pruritus holds its undisputed j Vogue among the idle rich. | Pruritus is refined or polite itching. , As a few of our readers are not rich | yet I suppose I shall have to explain | that I mean itching without scratch- ing. That’s one of the chief draw- | backs about being in the four hun- dred or of the quality—you itch, all right, but just try and scratch a lit- | tle and see how quickly you get the bum’s rush. Pruritus, then, is any sort of itching for which there is no | apparent cause. Pruritus is rampant in the winter season, when houses are artificially | heated and the atmosphere therein is excessively dried out; when excess of clothing is worn; when the natural supply of iodin falls far below the ; body's requirements; when the hot bath evil becomes a mania. Here are some general suggestions for victims of pruritus. Help yoursel! | in whichever you want and don’t get snooty about any you don’t want. | The less bathing the better for the i sensitive skin. If you must bathe, then the less soap the better. If you must use soap, then avoid hot water: | —use only tepid or lukewarm water. } more you expose your naked skin to | the air and sunlight the less bathing | you will need. The oxygen of the air | and sunlight are the natural clean- | sers. | The less clothing you wear or the} | thor. are best to supply calcium to the) + body. (R. J. T.)

It is {| quite as important to avoid the use of stock preparations commonly of- fered as “cold cream” or “skin cream.” Sweet almond oil, olive oil (‘sweet oil”), sunflower seed oil and sesame seed oil are good skin oils, when pure and fresh. The last is pre- ferable because it is least likely to | become rancid and clog the skin. | A skin cream that has given much | satisfaction is composed of one dram | of lanolin, two drams of boroglycerid and enough cold cream to make an ounce of the cream. The cold cream in this recipe is better if made from white petrolatum. If desired, a grain or two of methol added to the ounce of cream will give it a certain codl- ing effect. A very little of this cream applied daily will keep the skin in fair condition. Or anoint the skin daily with a few drops of the “Dew of Sahara’—1 dram of tragacanth powder, 5 drops phenol, § drops gly- cerin, 5 drops oil of bergamot, 4 ounces of olive oil, shaken into an emulsion with enough water to make one pint.

Other girls of my age laugh at me when I decline in- vitations to go out with them in the evening ... (L. 0.) Answer—In order to keep healthy and happy you need not less than 9%2 hours sleep every night. If you get up at 7:30 mornings, that makes mother absolutely right about hit- ting the hay by 10 p. m.

Sydney Rose is a glib little fellow, with an Oxford accent, a thick shock of black hair rising just up above the forehead, an ineradicable smile, glasses through which he seems to half-squint and half laugh—and. a deck of cards which seem to be en- chanted.

The plane crashes and Fanchon is the only sur- vivor. To get away from Tony and the past, she goes to the Carstairs home as “Evelyn.” A strong bond of affection grows between Mrs. Car- stairs and her “niece.” Collin stairs, the son, is at rst antagonist because of his “cousin's” Hawaiian escapades and her self-righteous at- titude when his mother offered aid, but Fanchon’s sincerity overcomes his objections. They fall in love. After a happy summer at Southamp- ton, Fanchon makes her debut in New York. Collin, though realizing their relationship is a barrier, cannot resist professing his love. Fanchon cannot acknowledge hers without re- vealing her identity. Later, Tony lo- cates Fanchon and informs her that Evelyn is alive, but lost her memory. He threatens to expose Fanchon unless she introduces him He calls at the Carstairs home and is accepted by Mrs. Carstairs and Collin although they are skeptical of him. Fanchon has no alternative but to agree to Tony’s demands that she induce Mrs. Carstairs to wear her emeralds to the Van Suydam Ball. Tony wears a Romeo costume sim- ilar to Collin’s. On the way to the ball. Collin and Fanchon profess their love. Fanchon slips away and returns home with Tony. The latter stays on the terrace awaiting an op- portunity to steal the jewels. CHAPTER XXVI They’ had their “nightcaps” . . . Fanchon her very small drink, Col- lin his man-sized one... Mrs. Car- stairs her milk. If they were watched from the terrace none knew it. Only Fanchon suspected. And the powders that Tony had given her lay, still in their papers, in the pocket of her robe. Collin said, looking at Fanchon, “Mother, I want to talk to you for a minute, if I may. Evelyn knows what I have to say—” “Oh,” said Fanchon, “please, not tonight. Collin! Aunt Jennie’s so tired and so am I, Tomorrow.” “Very well,” he said stubbornly, as he saw his mother’s gesture of agreement, “tomorrow then. But no later than tomorrow.” He went to his room presently. Fanchon went with Mrs. Carstairs to hers, helped her undress, saw her safely into bed and leaned over to kiss her. Her lips shook so that she could hardly control them. She said, “Sleep well, darling—” and her hand on Mrs, Carstairs’ was ice col “You are really ill, Evelyn,” said Mrs. Carstairs in quick concern, “never mind me. Go to your room at once and try to get some sleep. ‘We will have the doctor in the morn- ing if you're no better.” ; fanchon said, lightly, “I'll be all right. Foo many good times, I guess,” and went to her room. There, she lay down on the bed, without disturbing the covers, and waited. Twenty minutes. Half an hour, An hour and a half. When, she thought despairingly, as the leaden minutes dragged i when would Tony tire? fe had tired, out on the terrace, hidden securely, looking now and then at the radium dial of his watch. In an hour at the most Fanchon was to make the arranged signal and they were to make their escape together with the jewels. He had not trusted her to do ne, that was why he had waited to see that nothing would go wrong, or that she would change - her mind, He svould wait no longer. - He would see for himself. She had given Collin and the older woman the drugged drinks. They would be | sleeping soundly. Why had she not to Mrs. Carstairs as “Cesars Gilli.” | - had gathered for a Carnegie Hall concert at which Paul Whiteman was putting his musicians through 2, thrilling routine of modern music. In one box sat the plump, cherubic Ferde Grofe, who had written the “Grand Canyon Suite” and who lives most modestly in a little New Jersey suburb. In another box sat George Gershwin, several of whose composi- tions were on the program, and who lives almost as quietly, if not as modestly, in a Riverside Drive pent- house. Back stage trembled the wraith-like, brick-haired Dana Sues- se, a youngster from Louisiana, whose newest composition was being played for the first time. On stage sat the collection of musicians. The program ends. The crowd cheers. High silk hats are popped from pancakes into glistening dec- orations, The musicians begin to pack up their instruments and de- part. Out in the concrete corridors there is a buzzing of voices. “Hello, Gus’—‘“Swell work, keed” Arild program, baby”—things like at. But five men are in the wings. Three of them look like Phil Baker stooges, At last their moment has arrived. They must move the pianos back in the wings. The audience, wrapping itself up against the cold night, barely recognizes their exis- fellow sits down and begins to play a Chopin waltz. “Umm—umm—’ he almost croons as I stop to listen. “I never get a chance to play a- swell piano like this. I always want to, and only after the concerts can I play on a $1250 instrument.” And no one even knows it’s hap- ning. el ee & TIRED EARDRUMS Which reminds me that the other day I heard for the first time of “pia- no tuner’s ears.” It seems that the big’piano warehouses in New York keep a group of men working almost constantly at tuning. Their ears tence. Of this five, there is one little pint- sized fellow who shoves and sweats and pants. Finally the pianos are removed. The four others slap hands together and keep going.

THAT’S STEPPIN’ ALONG Bloomington, Ill.— Two loocal avi- ation enthusiasts have designed one of the smallest planes in the United States. It is known as the “l *d and was built by Owen Tilbury and Cecil Fundy. It has a wing span of only 14 feet, is 11 and a half feet long, and is only three and a half feet high. A speed of 150 miles an hour on straight-away flights is claimed for it. PERMANENT ABODES OF ESKIMOS ? WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS GARMENT ? “It is—Mr. Gilli—” she said, quite clearly... “he has fe qi = ly * come back for come? She had put the jewels loosely in a drawer and left it a little ajar so she could get them easily, if she had followed his instructions. He came in from the terrace, through the door he had left un- locked, and went up the gallery stairs as lightly as a cat. As lightly he turned the knob of Mrs, Carstairs’ door and went in, Mrs, Carstairs did not hear. She was sleeping very soundly, worn out by the evening and her troubled speculations, Tony went straight to the dresser. He knew where every piece of fur- niture was in the room, had seen to it on his “tour” of inspection, A drawer was, he saw, a little open, He thrust in his hand. Damit to hell! the jewels had been put in a case! Slowly, carefully he began to draw the case out. Still the woman was drugged and heavily, he need have no particular fear, Fanchon, alert, perfectly wide- awake, had heard’ his ae move- ments, She was crouched against the the door dividing her room from that of Mrs. Carstairs’. “Who's that?” -ealled Mrs. Car- stairs waking suddenly, and sitting | Hi ga bed.

That much privacy she demanded. She had been fegretting it for the last few minutes. “Evelyn?” asked Tony, speaking for the frst time. He laughed. “Stand still, Fanchon,” he ordered sharply, “and make your explanations and then we'll see if Mrs. Carstairs will be so anxious to bring the police into this.” “What do you mean?” asked Jen- nie, as Collin’s face darkened with aking to my mistakable expression of ntixed with a ele sardonic tri- umph, “she feared, possibly, to ex- change the easy flesh pots for the uncertain existence of—a gangster’s girl,” said Tony.
