Persistence Wins Records fell like wheat before the scythe at the Capitol City Track and Field Meet here Saturday and the fact is reassuring. It shows that our mod- ern youth has speed in laudable di- rections as well as in those enter- prices which cause some graybeards to protest that Young America is going to the dogs. Bismarck is happy to have had these splendid young athletes with us and proud of the success of the en- terprise, the tenth in a series which began rather inauspiciously. ‘When the first Capital City Track and Field Meet was held it attracted little attention outside the immediate vicinity of Bismarck. Athletes from neighboring towns came to match speed and power but the eastern part of the state paid little attention. An- nual meets at the state university and agricultural college then were the big affairs of the spring season in high school athletios, The equipment which Bismarck mustered for that first meet was not imposing. It had no athletic field to speak of and the conditions were those which face every pioneer. Probably the biggest single boost for this affair was the donation to the school system by E. A. Hughes of the present athletic field. Steadily improved by the school board, it now is one of the finest plants in the state. No other high school boasts anything xpproaching it Nevertheless, even as it stands, it has cost the taxpayer practically nothing. Receipts from football games and other attractions have just about paid its operating ex- Ppenses and the cost of improvements, according to last reports. There was one occasion, which some Participants well will remember, when. rain made it necessary to improvise a course on prairie land west of the Roosevelt school building and the Taces were run in a rather bitter rain, But persistence won out and this year the Bismarck gathering was the most important of the year. The University and Agricultural College cancelled their meets and most of the athletes who would have won points there participated at Bismarck. By refusing to be discouraged and keeping at it when the going seemed toughest, Bismarck has won recogni- tion, not only for itself, but also for the entire western part of the state. Everyone Benefits Decision to abandon the proposal . for construction of a power plant at the state prison will meet with gen- eral approval both in Bismarck and throughout the state. This city will receive the biggest direct benefit from the death of this ill-advised scheme. Because the load on the lines of the local utility com- pany will be increased, it may become Possible to grant a reduction in rates to local private consumers. ‘The reason for this is easy to un- derstand. The additional service will be rendered by the utility at relative- ly small extra cost. It will need to employ little, if any, additional labor and the equipment it now has is am- ple. By getting a greater return on its investment through the new state contract, the company is enabled to reduce its charges in other directions. ‘Taxpayers throughout the state al- 50 will save money, since it was ap- parent from the first that a $250,000 plant to furnish power for the capi- tol, prison and Bank of North Dakota building would be an extravagance. ‘Under the contract the state pays 8 minimum charge of $12,000 a year and for that amount may receive up to 1,00,000 kilowatt hours of energy without additional cost. Any addi- tional power will cost one cent per kilowatt. It 4s improbable that the state will use 1,000,000 kwh during the next year, but with the installation of new industries at the prison and comple- tion of the capitol building it may do 60 in the near future. Granting that this amount of cur- rent will not be used, the state still is making a material saving when compared with costs of a state-oper- ated plant. The contemplated invest- ment for this project was $250,000, for which the state would be forced to is- sue bonds. To market these at par 4t probably would be necessary to pay 57.20 ++ 7.20 te cbse secctaue 5.00 2.50 + 2.00 hardly seems probable that the state would have turned over the operation of $250,000 worth of property to con- vict engineers and the cost of man- agement might have been consider- able. The taxpayer outside of Bismarck, therefore, saves whatever difference there would have been between the 6.00 |COSt of @ state-operated plant and the ‘Weekly by mail in state, per year $1.00 Present contract with the utility com- pany. In these times the saving is not one to be sneezed at. Shifting Population It will be interesting to see whether the end of the depression will bring any change to the striking new shifts in American population growth. Figures compiled by the Scripps Foundation for Population Research show that during 1932 American cities as a whole decreased in population by more than 400,000 persons. Farm pop- ulation, on the other hand, increased in that year by 1,000,000. A great part of this is undoubtedly due to the depression. The cityward migration of farm youth was checked; and vast numbers of ex-ruralites who lost their city jobs retreated to their Parents’ farm homes for the duration of hard times. Let prosperity come back and the old tendency probably would be resumed. But we can’t be quite certain about it. There are good reasons for be- Meving that most of our cities are about as large now as they ever will be. A movement toward decentraliza- tion seems to have begun. How far is it apt to continue, and what will its ultimate effects be? Supporting Press Freedom ‘Newspapermen are bound to be in- terested in the new law put into effect in New Jersey recently, under which no court, grand jury or other inquisi- torial body could require any reporter to divulge the source of confidential information used in news articles. This law simply recognizes what has long been the code of the news-gath- ering profession, that a reporter is in honor bound to protect the person from whom he gets information of legitimate interest to the public. Courts and grand juries have fre- quently tried to compel reporters to reveal their sources, and in most in- stances they have failed. All too often they have made the attempt simply because the reporter in question had made public something that certain highly placed folk want- ed concealed and the action has been ‘an effort to get the reporter in a hole. New Jersey's law is a new bulwark for the freedom of the press. Child Auto Drivers A 14-year-old Chicago high school girl, driving an automobile along a public highway, recently struck a seven-year-old boy who was riding a bicycle. The boy wasn’t badly hurt, and witnesses said that the girl did everything an adult driver could have done to avoid hitting him. But it preyed on her mind, and the tragic upshot was that after a sleepless night of brooding the girl committed suicide. It’s a pitiful little story, and it makes a sad commentary on the auto- mobile age. Why should a child of that age be permitted to drive a car in heavy traffic—or, for that matter, in any kind of traffic? Handling an automobile these days is strictly a job for adults. The nervous strain that the accidents of the road can bring to a driver is something no 14-year- old ought to have to shoulder.

Keep Those Dollars Rolling (New Leipzig Sentinel) In these days of chaotic financial conditions those who take out of cir- culation the means of bolstering and restoring credit and employment, are in effect, public enemies. There is one kind of hoarding that prolongs depression, that cannot be fought by governmental action. Mil- lions of people in this country have good incomes, incomes which are as large or larger than ever, when the increased buying power of the dollar hand, and they can afford to spend it for necessities for themselves.

HIP HOORAY, WHEN DO WE | things which prevent or disturb sleep SLEEP? is far better than resorting to any A lucky, or perhaps we should say means to make one sleep. We'll have right living individual boards a train, sees to the stowing of his goods and chattels, makes a contribution toward the support of the company’s em- ployees, and at his customary time retires to his cubbyhole and enjoys his night's rest just as tho he were slum- bering in his own little beddy at home. But 99.44 per cent of us are not trained that way. We just serve time in ironic solitary confinement and are tossed all thru the hideous night, the while we plot unheard-of crimes against almost anybody behind that curtain, It’s all in the dendrites, If you live right your dendrites are right. Dendrites are not something that gets in your hair, nor do you pick them up by getting out of bed barefoot. ‘We're all born with dendrites. Here is at least one point of absolute equality. Makes not a particle of difference whether your grandfather or his was a horse thief or a financier, you start life with precisely the same standard denditric equipment that all other makes and models of your year have. Dendrites are microscopic contrac- tile processes of the central nerve or brain cell, which receive the impulses that come in thru arborizations at the terminal of the nerve. A wee re- traction of the dendrites breaks the connection with the nerve terminal arborizations and in effect insulates stimuli or impressions. That means sleep. Most people take the same un- Physiological view of sleep that they take of other functions of the body, notably defecation. These morbid con- ceptions are created and constantly kept in the mind of the laity by the nostrum interests whose business is the exploitation. of popular credulity. Do not the majority of the popula- tion believe that it is necessary to “regulate” the bowels to do some- thing to make the bowels move some- times if not all the time? Wiseacres and so-called “educated” persons in general, in their ludicrous ignorance of physiology, fall easy prey to the suggestion that constant attention to the “regulation” of the bowels is a the organism from all minor external | 4 another talk about this later. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Bad Psychology ‘Two year old child has orange juice, cod liver oil, vegetables, etc., daily, but is still terribly constipated. Have to use all sorts of laxatives, and even then child seems afraid... (T. H. J.) Answer—Add 2 liberal quantity of ripe banana to the daily rations and never mind or pay any attention if the child skips a day or two or three now and then. Birth Mark Daughter, three, has port wine mark extending from above elbow to thumb. Physician recommends some kind of light treatments applied till skin is made to peel... (Mrs. L. F. W.) Answer—That is good treatment, and whatever is done should be done NOW, for best cosmetic effects. Retarding Reaction Time ‘What is the harm of drinking alco- holic liquor or beverage before driving acar? (A. B.) Answer—A glass of beer or wine slows reaction time from one-fifth to two-fifths of a second—the accident happens before the driver can act to avert it. (Copyright 1933, John F.

Like- wise they readily assume that when one does not sleep well somet should be done to make him sleep. If the distinction I am trying to draw between letting one sleep and making him sleep, or between letting the bowel act and making it act, seems a quibble, it seems so because you fail to grasp the physiological fact involved. Perhaps I cannot better ex- plain than by reminding you that a person can be made to breathe deeply or more slowly by various physical, chemical or emotional means or by his own will and attention to his manner of breathing. Yet no one doubts that the breathing will be best regulated no attention to it and we do not at- tempt to influence it by physical, is considered.

There will be fear, inertia and un- certainty in this country until some- thing is done to provide employment, to create demand for the products of farms and industries, to step-up the general purchasing power, to start Slacker dollars rolling. One of the best ways to make dol- lars useful is to spend them for prop- erty improvement—to paint the house, chemical or emotional means. Well, believe it or not, the function of digestion is under the same auto- matic or autonomic, unconscious and involuntary control as is the function of breathing, and so is sleep.

The business was started in the Bowery, opposite London and Minor’s theatre, in 1876. In those days canes were more business like, being made of heavy woods with solid ivory han- dies, and were considered emergency weapons. Sword canes were popular, too, especially with southerners, Mr. Simon remembers. He still sells one occasionally, always assuming that it is intended for a collection, since it is against the law to carry them. Uncle Sam has a crowded little shop in a side street of the theatrical district now, and says he serves just about all the men-about-Broadway. Irving Berlin, Clifton Webb, Lee Shu- bert and the Harrises, William A. Brady, Bert Lahr and Ted Healy are regular customers. Gus Edwards car- ries light and very flexible sticks, and breaks about one @ month. Chaplin's canes are made of a limber Chinese ‘wood called wanghee. Preston Sturges, the playwright, used to give canes to the casts of all his shows. Cantor's favorite is a heavy nat- ural hickory that Simon himself cut in the woods in Delaware Water Gap. That's the way the little cane man spends his vacations—prowling around mountainsides looking for suitable materials. He seasons the woods and carves them himself. He also makes few umbrellas, but prefers to devise novel ones like that made for Joe Cook, the comedian, which supplied its own rain from a tube running through it. Simon has orders for all sorts of novelty sticks, too. Some are elon- gated liquor flasks, others have elec- tric lights or cigar lighters in the handles. Simon has seen, but never made, pistol canes, except that he did once fashion an orchestra leader's baton that would shoot a blank cart- ridge. It was used in a mystery movie. He has sold a 54-inch cane to a circus giant, and several 15-inch ones to midgets. A Negro actor once ordered an ebony stick “studious with rhine- stones” and became the talk of Har- Jem when he flashed its 250 bril- liants. Simon also makes leather- covered lead canes weighing fourteen Pounds with which some men take strenuous arm and shoulder exercise while strolling the avenues. Uncle Sam, by the way, never car- ries a cane himself. Says it would make him feel self-conscious. ee % Pipe Craftemen As neighbors the Simons used to have Carl Stehr and his father, who ratithe oldest pipe shop in New York. It was started in 1867, The Simons moved when the complexion of the lower east side changed, but the Stehrs wouldn't budge from their orig- inal location, which is on Broome Street ust off the Bowery.
