Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Stee cheatin We Get a Break After battling with the adversities of attack from the outside for sev- eral years, Bismarck got a break ‘Wednesday when Postmaster Gen- eral Brown announced decision to designate the proposed northern transcontinental airline from Boston, Mass., to Bismarck, N. D. The action brings no nearer the westward extension of the line which this city so earnestly desires but it does increase our faith that Bismarck will be on this line of communica- tion when, eventually, it does reach from coast to coast. ‘The apparent object of the post- office department is to set up a new cross-continent route, running par- allel to and a few miles south of the Canadian border, in order to give each great section of the country, from north to south, the benefit of this service. On this basis the so-called “north- ern” route for the line in this area is too far north. The “southern” route for the northern line is too close to the mid-continent services. The result is to make the route through Bismarck the logical selec- tion. This development in our favor should not lull Bismarck to sleep or the public imagination. In seeking @ reason for this phen- omena we need only delve into the tricks familiar to every politician. It for votes to “tell the people what they already know.” In other words, ideas. This theory has been pretty gen- erally followed by those who have won success in politics. In the in- dustrial centers we have seen created the shibboleth of the tariff's bene- fits to the working man. In the ag- ricultural areas the cry has been “eost of production plus a profit”, another catch-phrase, which is rath- er difficult to reduce to concrete terms. These and other expressions serve a real purpose in our language. Indefinite in themselves, perhaps ev- en inaccurate, they convey to the average man an idea regarding a sit- uation on which he has definite opinions. Technocracy serves a purpose, therefore, in giving a name to a sit- uation which everyone knows and understands. It had the benefit of “tell ‘em what they know” to make it popular. Who is there who hasn't under- stood to the full the situation created {by low prices for wheat and many People going hungry? The farmer needing shoes but going without them when the factories of the country could produce more than enough? Women wearing their clothes to shreds when there is sufficient manufacturing capacity to provide every woman with a new dress every month? We think about those things when the word Technocracy is men- tioned. Yet the protagonists of the idea admit that they are merely investi- gating and measuring and that their Suggestions as to a cure are in the half-baked stage. When they are through they may be able to tell us the facts about technological un- employment and maladjustment of istribution, but that is all. We have @ pretty good idea about those things elready. The probability is that six months from now Technocracy will have gone the way of Dr. Coue’s “Every day in every way I am getting better and better,” and that giddy product of a Jater era “Yes, we have no bananas.” Why Such Strong Words? England, better grounded than any other nation in the tricks of finance and commerce, apparently likes being off the gold standard. Its newspapers, according to As- sociated Press dispatches, see in cause it to regard as already accom- Plished the air-extension program adopted by the Association of Com- merce. It should merely give ys new energy and enthusiasm for the effort of protecting our city's interest in this important matter. It is a “break” to be sure, but only that. Much water will go over the dam before the mail planes will speed westward from here instead of stop- ping and when the time comes to bring that about we must be ready to strike in behalf of our own inter- ests. ——— t One for the Book Ordinarily a layman can read a Jawbook and understand it as easily as a trained barrister. It is in the tricks and idiosyncracies of the law that the average man encounters a muddle, One of the finest examples in re- cent years is the case against John J. Halloran, Phoenix lumber dealer, charged with being an accessory to the “trunk murders” by Winnie Ruth Judd. Mrs. Judd was convicted of murder in an Arizona court and sentenced to hang for the crime. Execution is Set for next month. Mrs. Judd said Halloran assisted her by helping to put the bodies of the murder victims into trunks and advising her what to do with them. But Halloran is dismissed on the accessory charge because the state could not prove that a murder was committed. Its own testimony showed, the presiding judge said, that Mrs. Judd had killed in self-defense, hence there was no murder. ‘The woman will hang for the crime, but the man will go free because there wasn’t any. i All of this occurs in the same city,! under the court system of the same state. | O Noble judge.

The Associated Press dispatch uses the language “may use the debt as a bargaining weapon to force this country back on the gold basis.” The use of such words as “weapon” and “force” is startling. For many years tenance of the gold standard means. financial and commercial life or death. England, apparently, believed the same thing, for it made a desperate effort to retain that yardstick and only abandoned it under tremendous pressure. What has occurred since then to should London newspapers use such. harsh words in suspecting us of at- tempting to restore the ancient faith in Britain? What would America gain or who in America would gain by England's revival of her former adherence? Maybe if we had another commis- sion look into this matter we might find something to our advantage. Can it be that we have worshipped false gods all these years and that England, having been purged by force, has seen the error of her ways and has adopted a better system than we have?

For most popular beliefs or fancies one can find some plausible reason or explanation, plausible te a layman ig- norant of science. For this persist- ent idea that it is well to head north when sleeping I can discover not the slightest ground. If any of our read- ers can enlighten me or suggest a substantial theory to account for the notion I shall be grateful. Here is a chance for you to get back at me. Sleep is as deep a mystery to us today as it was to the ancient doc- tors. Every little while some half- quack “scientist,” usually a “research laboratory” worker (and as likely as not subsidized by some big business interest) discovers and tells the world the secret of sleep. Of the numerous theories that physiologists have conceived to ac- count for natural sleep half a dozen are worthy of mention. 1. Sleep is brought on by the accumulation of acid waste products if the blood. The main experimental evidence in sup- port of this theory is the effect pro- we in America were told that main-j duced by injecting lactic acid or so- dium lactate into the blood—this pro- duces a state of fatigue and finally loss of consciousness. 2. Sleep is due to the exhaustion of the store of oxy- gen available to the brain cells faster than it can be replaced by oxygen from the blood. This theory is prac- tically abandoned, since precise meas- urements of metabolism have shown that the brain cells use an insignifi- cant amount of oxygen, when the in- dividual does concentrated brain 3. Sleep is caused by re- traction of neurons, the terminal fila- ments of nerve fibres by which con- tact is made with the brain cell. This breaking of nerve connections cannot be demonstrated by microscopic ob- servation of brain tissue during na- tural sleep, of course. 4. The great Russian physiologist, Pawlow, pro- posed the theory of inhibition to ac- count for natural sleep—only a fun- damental knowledge of physiology can make this theory clear. 5. Some special toxin formed during waking hours finally accumulates in suffi- cient quantity to produce sleep. Ex- perimentally, blood from young dogs that have been kept awake 30 or more hours, produces somnolence when in- jested into the brain of a animal. But if the blood is subjected to a temperature of 145 to 150 degrees F. (about that of pasteurization) the hypothetical toxin is rendered inert and no somnolence follows injection. 6. Anemia of the brain, diminished flow of blood through the brain. This theory is widely accepted and we'll consider it in a later talk. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 10% Truth With 90% Hokum Here is the home treatment for superfluous hair given by ... (a wo- man in the beauty business) ... If the treatment is safe will it really re- move hair for good?—(F. B.) Answer—The catch in the method is the funny soap you must use— that's where the madam gets her profit. The results would be the same if any other soap were used. The part of the “treatment” which re- moves hair is where you “rub it off with the flat side of a pumice stone, leaving the skin smooth.” That's one way of shaving, and according to one comely woman who has had expe- rience the regular moderate use of the fine toilet pumice stone sold by druggists and toilet goods dealers is the most satisfactory way to deal with superfluous hair on the face.
