Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Not To Blame Just how extensively machine de- ‘velopment is responsible for involun- tary idleness was made the subject of ® study recently by the American Fed- eration of Labor and some independ- ent business agencies and the results are rather startling. They do not ‘bear out the ideas which many of us had in mind. For example, the labor group figures that 80 per cent of those who were employed in the building industry in 1930 are now unemployed, yet there have been no major technological ad- ‘vances in the industry since that time and there have been relatively few ym recent years. The idleness of that 80 per cent has not been caused by encroachment of machines upon hu- man labor but by a reduction in the total amount of work to be done. The same thing holds true for em- ployment in lumber mills and yards end garage stations. Neither of these THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1988 birth and accidents of all kinds, in- cluding burns and drownings. The greatest single advance was made in the fight against tuberculosis, despite December's bad showing. As compared with 1931 the drop was 8.6 Per cent, the greatest year-to-year decrease in a decade. At the pres- ent rate of improvement, the experts estimate, the tuberculosis death rate may drop as low as 40 per 100,000 by 1939, with regard to insured wage earners, and may reach that figure two or three years sooner taking the birth is contained in the fact that the birth rate is falling and that few- er women have been exposed to the hazards of that condition. The Value of Dreams ‘There was something appealing in the story which came out of Warm Springs, Ga., Thursday about Presi- Cent-elect Roosevelt sitting in front of his fire and telling reporters about the new experiment which he hopes to launch as a part of his war on Poverty. The details of the gigantic scheme are not quite clear to the public. Per- haps they are not yet sharply outlined in Mr. Roosevelt's own mind. The Project, it would seem, still is in the dream stage. But that need not cause alarm. Nearly every great idea has its be- ginning ina dream. Who knows what history owes to thoughtful musings kefore an open fire, the delicious wanderings of the mind which pre- pare it for great inspiration? We need more than dreams of course, but he who would achieve greatness must have the ability to dream as well as the capacity to ac- complish. Dreams provide the sparks which set men aflame and make of them creators and doers. And so it may be just as well that the President-elect, hard-pressed as he is by the details which precede his induction into office, can take time out to sit by his fireside and let his spirit formulate the ultimate aims toward which his energies will be di- rected. Happiness and contentment for millions of people; the opportun- ity to live and love and grow old use- fully and amid pleasant surroundings. What better dream could the man have? hhas called on the technicians very heavily of late, yet they feel the situ- ation just as keenly as other lines. ‘The extractive industries and “mis- Cellancous” industries as classified by the labor federation, show the same result. On the other hand in the textile in- dustry, in which advances in machines and methods have been notable in the last three years, the decline in em- ployment during the two-year period was only 27 per cent. Yet, in the face of this situation, there are those who would scrap the Taachine and return to hand labor on the theory that it is responsible for all of our troubles. To be sure, new machines have wip- ed out whole professiore, as witness the practical disappearance of the telegrapher following the introduction of the teletype, but they have created others to do similar work in other capacities or to help care for the new Dusiness created by the development. ‘What we need is better distribution of goods so that people may fill their meeds—and more machines to aid workers in producing them. Return to hand labor, which has been done in some cases, is a confes- sion of defeat. It is not a method of Producing more jobs but of limiting «Production so that there will be fewer things for the human race to enjoy. That ‘Flu’ Epidemic Now that the recent influenza epi- demic has come and gone the statis- ticilans have begun to check up on it. ‘They report that it was really quite an affair, Health authorities, of course, gave found advice regarding what victims should do about it, but were careful © minimize its importance in order that the public might not be fright- ened. Right here in Bismarck there ‘Was pressure to close the schools and only the fact that such action would mot have helped the situation prevent- ed such an order from being issued.

Wealth Underfoot Sponsors of the Lehigh Briquetting company, pioneering a new business, are enthusiastic about the possibili- tles of by-products from our native coal. From the oil which the briquetting Process produces, we are told, a super- fine gasoline with a very high anti- knock rating can be developed through @ “cracking” process, ‘The creosote is used to preserve wood, such as railway ties, telephone Poles and shingles, and hundreds of thousands of gallons of this product have been sold commercially. The most recent development is that of a molding resin similar to the pro- ¢uct sold under the trade. name of bakelite. It has practically unlimited application to a thousand different industries. For bearings in machinery it is said to outwear bronze and is cheaper to use, needing only water lubrication. Billiard balls produced from it are claimed to be better than those made of ivory. Fine furniture, window frames, wainscoting, doors, telephone and radio parts, salve, soap, varnish, enamel, lacquer and cement all have been made with it as a base. Truly the once despised lignite mines ef North Dakota may prove to hold riches undreamed of.

Survival is their middle name, and they work at it. At any rate, a recent traffic sur- vey indicated that empty, touring taxis were clogging the Broadway belt at theater time. The cops be- gan to detour all such werless: cabs to make way for the busy boys. So what? So the taxi gents went around Sixth Avenue and way streets where the jobless hang out and took’ on panhandlers and unemployed fel- lows as passengers. The cops couldn’t stop the cabs to learn the identity of Passengers, so the drivers chiseled their way into the crowded zones, dis- their free fares, and even slipped a nickel or dime to the ac- commodating one.

OF SLEEP {for promoting refreshing sleep. Of the numerous theroies that have | been offered to explain the phenome- } non of natural sleep the brain ane- mia is perhaps most widely accepted. In animals or in a man with a glass window in the skull a diminished flow of blood in the brain has been QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Appendicitis Olive oil . . —(Miss L. K.) THE CEREBRAL ANEMIA THEORY | various classes and offer suggestions Is there anything to do for appen- dicitis besides operating? I have Ben Told certain kinds of mineral oil or Answer—If you knew or could see observed, during sleep. Blood pres- sure falls by from 20 to 50 millime- ters mercury during sleep. The vol- ume of the brain diminishes during sleep, while the volume of the arm or leg increases. Shortly before waking, the arm and leg decreases in size and the brain increases—blood turning from the surface or the gen- eral circulation to the brain. Everybody knows how relaxation and warmth favor drowsiness or sleep. The blood flow thru the brain is not regulated by vasomotor nerves, as is the blood flow thruout the body, but only mechanically or indirectly by the circulation in the rest of the body. Especially important in the regulation of the brain circulation is the circulation in the great splanch- nic area, the network of vessels in the abdomen. These vessels are con- trolled by vasomotor nerves. Hill, the English physiologist, believes the splanchnic circulation is the impor- tant factor in determining sleep. Howell, the American physiologist, believes the surface circulation, the skin circulation, is the chief factor. It seems reasonable to ascribe the drowsiness that follows a very hearty meal to increased flow of blood in the great splanchnic area and con- sequent decreased flow in the brain. It is equally reasonable to ascribe the natural drowsiness at the end of @ hard day to the increased flow of blood in the skin vessels and conse- quent decreased supply to the brain. Opposing the theory of brain anemia (anemia means insufficient blood) is the observation of Shepard, Michigan physiologist, made upon two individuals with defects in the skull. that the volume of the brain increased during sleep. On these and further scientific investigations Shepard based his conclusion that during sleep there is actually an in- creased supply of blood to the brain, and that the brain receives its great- est blood supply during periods of inactivity or least activity. This con- clusion does not agree with what we know of other organs, ‘We must bear in mind that the phenomenon of natural sleep remains @ mystery, and that no one has found an entirely satisfactory explanation for it. . Nor a substitute. Nor a way of catching up on lost sleep. Nor a safe plan for getting along on diminished sleep rations. An 80- year-old man’s sleeping habits are all right for 80-year-old people of simi- jar status, but they are not suited to the needs of younger people who lead active lives. In subsequent talks we shall indi- cate the essential sleep rations for FLAPPER, FANNY SAYS: the conditions of appendicitis, or in gallstones, you would understand how absurd it is to imagine any such oil can remedy the trouble. I know of nothing but operation for acute! appendicitis. If the trouble is not acute, it may be one thing or an- other which can be remedied without operation. Lemon Alkalizes ‘The first five years of my married life I had @equent bladder inflam- mation. Then I discovered that if I take the juice of half a lemon in a glass of water twice a day I have no trouble. I have seen this give relief to many others similarly troubled.— (Mrs, A. J. W.) Answer—Lemon juice or lemonade is an excellent remedy for reducing excessive acidity in the urine. So is orange or orange juice. \ Beer ‘What should the effects be of a man with high blood pressure who drinks five to 10 botties of home made beer daily, with a weekly av- erage of about 65 quarts? He also consumes much strong. coffee and tea—G. L. M) Answer—Higher and higher blood Pressure till heart compensation be- gins to fail, then lower and lower pressure till the end. (Copyright, John F.
