Foreign Representatives | SMALL, SPENCER, BI (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON } Lest We Forget In the struggle for proper adjust- ment of our agricultural, commercial ‘and industrial machinery, we are apt to forget the truly important facts fn the national situation which make our current problems both impressive and ridiculous. We have, here in America, some 123,000,000 people, some of them in ‘want, some in luxury, the majority in neither condition but husbanding their resources in fear of they know not what. Of that total approxi- mately 51,000,000 are depositors in savings banks and the total to their credit is around $28,000,000,000. More people are carrying life in- surance now than during any previ- ous decade in our history, the total value of the policies being well above ® hundred billion dollars. Our na- tional treasury shows itself “in the red,” yet it is crammed with gold, the largest supply ever held by a single nation. The coal, oil, timber, water power, iron, copper and precious metals which we counted as assets in our national balance sheet still exist. ‘They are as valuable now as they ‘were before. Our ability to produce all of these things as well as an abundance of food is unmatched in history. Less than half the homes in our country have bath tubs. If factories making these useful articles were to work full time for a few years this condition would be greatly relieved if not entirely eliminated. Many rural homes would like elec- trie service. Makers of home gene- rating sets have the capacity to meet ® much greater demand and public ‘utility companies would be glad to extend this service if they thought they dared. The keynote to the whole situation may be the ability and the nerve to dare. This nation came into being through the willingness of our fore- fathers to do just that. In little more than a century it rose to first place in the world, partly because of | its natural resources but principal- ly because its manhood numbered enough men who were willing to think constructively and to dare) great things that their hopes might | be achieved. | Those were not the days of giants. as some would have us believe. The} people of a generation ago were not | as enlightened, on the whole, as the people of today. They had less to} work with, less to hope for, yes, and Jess to look forward to. But they kept their faith in their country and in themselves. They wrought an empire from a wilder- ness. The blood which coursed their veins runs in ours. The faith which they had in this land was bequeathed to us, It is not dead now. It will re- assert itself again. And when it does we shall wonder what it was that | ailed us and the country during these | days. | When we again believe in ourselves and in our destiny as a nation, and (when we act upon that belief, our rich country” will no appear and the desire for advance- ment, which is characteristic of this nation, will again become the dom- §nating note of a revivified America. How Are Your Endocrines? Scientists, seeking logical explana- tion for differences in personality as the theory that the gees gl &§ jl 5 E 5 g E ted organ to functional activity. Thus, for example, the hormone of the thyroid gland is concerned, among other things, with the phy- sical and mental development of the body. Each ductless gland manufac- tures one or more specific hormones which acts directly upon the tissue concerned or indirectly through that portion of the nervous system over which we have no control. Moreover, the ductless glands are as interrelat- ed as the links of a chain. Abnor- mality of one ductless gland usually means a disturbance of function in the others. “The most important glands pos- sessing an internal secretion may here be mentioned. They are the thyroid, parathyroids, the suprare- nals, the pituitary, the thymus, the Pineal, certain portions of the pan- creas and the reproductive glands. In addition there are other struc- tures which may possess an internal secretion but about which compara- tively little is known. These are the spleen, the prostate, and the two tiny pealike carotid glands, one on either side of the neck. The kidney, liver, duodenum, mammary glands and other organs of the body are said also to have internal secretions, but this has not been scientifically verified.” ‘There was a lot more, all of it hot off the scientific griddle, which leaves us in a daze. There really is more to us than we thought. Perhaps the human race will see a day when med- ical science will control how big we shall be, whether we shall be smart or dumb and a host of other sim- ilar items. Even now the proposition has its advantages. Think what a swell alibi it would make. Instead of admitting our sins, public or domestic, we could deftly lay all blame upon a mis- guided thyroid or a badly-behaved suprarenal, Off The Chest House majority leader H. F. Swett was quite correct in suggesting to his colleagues that there already have been too many peculiar and unusual resolutions introduced at this legis- lative session. He probably was cor- rect in saying that some of them have not lifted North Dakota in the esteem of citizens outside the state. But there is no great cause for excitement. To “resolute” is one way of getting | it off the chest. onstrations of free speech as practiced in this fair land. It should be understood that a reso- lution, generally speaking, doesn’t mean much. When the legislature enacts a bill into law it becomes something which the people must obey, presumably, But when it reso- lutes it says in effect “Here's how I feel about this.” And right now, of course, feelings are frayed. There is plenty to be sore about. It is a situation which breeds kicks, nay it even demands them. What better way is there of letting off steam. Resolutions at least give opportunity to say “I guess I told em Wouldn’t it be funny if the Chinese actually did commit an act of ag- gression against Japan? | Editorial Comment Editorlals printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard | to whether they agree or disagree | with The Tribun policies, Out of the Dark: (New York World-Telegram) The final report of the Hoover Na- Physclal make-up, have | tional Advisory Committee on Llliter- acy is cheering.

WATER IN THE LUNGS The common belief is that the; cause of death in drowning is the filling of the lungs with water. As a rule little or no water is found in the lungs of a person who has died by drowning. The most characteristic finding in a drowning case is the presence of blood-tinged mucous froth in the windpipe and overdistension or con- gestion of the blood vessels of the lining of the windpipe. The lungs are usually congested, too, and perhaps more sodden than they should be, but they float in water and if the air spaces contain any liquid at all it is only a spoonful or two, not enough to shut out air. ‘What, then, causes death in drown- ing? There are several theories to ac- {count for it. Each of them may ap- ply in certain instances. 1. Concussion from violent contact of the chest, head or back with the surface of the water, or with banks of a stream or with rocks or the bot- tom of a shallow pool. 2. Exhaustion from prolonged vio- lent effort to keep afloat or to swim against current, wind or wave. 3. Cerebral congestion from effu- sion of serum or blood in the brain during the first struggles for air. 4. Apoplexy ‘hemorrhage into the ; brain) from the same cause. 5. Syncope (fainting, shock) | fright. 6. Few physicians now give much credence to the hypothetical “cramp.” The only “cramp” of which we know is that which occurs after prolonged effort in very cold water, and this from partial, scarcely sufficient to account for drowning. spasm of water. 8. Air embolism—bubbles of air oc- cluding pulmonary arteries or the coronary artery (that supplies the | the circulation either by violent con- | Vulsive efforts or, in some instances, by sudden compression of the lungs, as by a belly splash dive or by a hard blow over the solar plexus. Recently Dr. Peter Karpovitch, professor of physiology in Springfield college found by experiment that rats invariably have water in the lungs when drowned. In medical jurisprudence it has been assumed that the absence of {any water in the lungs is evidence | against death by drowning, but in | View of the agreement of numerous | authorities that no water is found in | the lungs in many unquestioned cases | of drowning this old principle has | lost weight. | heart wall), the air being forced into |- QUESTIQ3S AND ANSWERS Patient Patient Having my tonsils removed by the diathermy method and certainly would not care to heve them re- jmoved by any other method.

But then, maybe the doctor has a-nice nurse or something. Soda for Cramps You requested readers to report their experience with soda as a remedy for cramps in the legs. I have found a dose of from one-half to one teaspoonful of soda sure re- lief for such cramps on many occa- sions. (A.

The other day a man was speeding in from White Plains to work when he saw, in his little mirror, a motorcycle cop gain- ing on him. He drew up at the side lof the road, pulled out a five-dollar bill and stuck it into the mirrow just as the cop stopped. Then he said, “Good morning, officer. I'll bet you five dollars I'm going to get a ticket for speeding “You lose,” said the officer, smiling and extracting the five dollars. “Nice day, isn’t it,” he happy home with her aunt, and away. happiness knows no zx * * NOT SO EASY MONEY Adaptability and a willingness to try anything have secured.an English intellectual employment, during these days when many better prepared men !are still looking.
