Rising Prices Not the least important phase of the business recovery, as many Bis- marck merchants are finding out, is the sudden shift from a “buyers” to a “sellers” market in many lines. This does not mean that makers of goods are not anxious to sell their wares. It does mean that business has recovered to the point where they no longer are over-anxious. They are now insisting on doing business at a profit, if at all. The result has already been made apparent to some Bismarck merchants who have placed orders for goods re- cently. In some instances they have been told frankly that the order can- not be filled at once nor at the form- er low prices. Such notices usually contain the information that the or- der will be filled “at the market price” when the firm making the goods catches up with its orders. Right now the effect of this situa- tion is being felt by the merchant. Tomorrow, however, it will be felt by the consumer. A report by the federal government, published Tuesday, asserts that farm prices have increased rapidly during the last month with no attendant in- crease in the cost of “consumer goods,” this being the trade designation for manufactured articles other than food. The latest Dun and Bradstreet in- dex, however, reports 37 price in- creases in a week as compared with 27 price decreases, The effect of this margin of increases over decreases will be felt soon and the government will be unable to report so wide a dis- crepancy in price trends in the near The ‘Bismarck Tribune gress which we have made in the last few decades. have worked hardship upon individ- uals, there is no doubt that they have We should be able to make them bringing distress to individual citizens. That is one of the real questions in the issues we now are facing, Eight to Nothing When Delaware and Nevada joined the list of states which have voted for the prohibition repeal amend- 00) ment, they brought the score on that question to eight to nothing. It is an imposing record, especially since the eight states are pretty well scattered over the nation and the re- sult in none of them has been even close. Nevertheless, it still is too early to say definitely how the repeal is go- ing. Only 13 states are needed to block ratification and the sectional trends are too incomplete to warrant a judgment now. A prophecy may be in order about July 1, as eight more states will have decided their positions by that date. They are Illinois, Indiana, Massachu- setts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Towa, California and West Virginia. If all of these vote for repeal the matter can be pretty much regarded as all over but the shouting. If even one of them fails to do so, however, the fact may prove a cloud on the horizon which may develop into a storm. In the 16 states which will have vot- ed by July 1, the east, middle west and west will have been pretty gen- erally represented. This will be par- ticularly true of the mid-contjnent area which usually gives the best in- dication of national tendencies, Politically speaking, it is pretty safe to comment that if Iowa, Illinois, In- diana and Michigan all go the same way the result is not in doubt. On the repeal question Indiana and Towa undoubtedly will be the most important. They are pivotally placed geographically and neither has any cities large enough to keep them from being classed as agricultural states. If these join the wet parade the only remaining question will be the position of the far south, dry in the past but not necessarily so any long- er. The Navy ‘Goes Moral’ Admiral R. H. Leigh, commander in chief of the United States fleet, must be a man of an optimistic and sanguine turn of mind. His recent order that the practice of profane swearing be eliminated on all Ameri- can naval vessels seems to be the. sort of order that only a hopeful man would issue. Sailors, of course, are not nowadays the tough, horny-handed chaps that their predecessors were. Taken by and large, the young men of our navy are as fine a group as any man would care to see. But they do have ex- future unless all the natural laws of commerce become inoperative. Meanwhile, however, local mer- chants appear willing to sell goods ob- tained at former low prices on the old basis, rather than attempt to take immediate advantage of the rising price trend. They took the losses at- tendant on falling prices applied to their inventories but are indisposed to reverse the process now that the movement is in the opposite direction. In doing so they are displaying sound business sense as well as respect for the keen competition which has been generated during the last few years. Everyone, including the man who foots the bill, wants rising prices, but he doesn’t want them to rise as fast as his income. Merchants know this and so they are delaying the day for /Marking up price tags until new goods, purchased at the higher figures, arrive, They realize that any wide- Spread greediness on the part of busi- neasmen might do much to set back the recovery now well in evidence. For this they are to be congratulat- ed. ‘The consumer, also, should prepare himself for the inevitable.. A few years hence we will have heard a lot about “why I could have bought that for almost nothing in the spring of 1933." —______ Wrong Idea Just as though the proposal had not been pretty thoroughly discredited al- ready, an organization has been formed in New York to stimulate hand labor by taxing machine production. Its theory is that there are not enough jobs to go around, hence the cure is to spread the work over more families by eliminating the machines which have displaced many workers. The system proposed to achieve this end is to put a graduated tax on all machinery, the highest levies being against those devices which displace the most hand labor, the object being to drive.them out of operation. The proposition is, of course, a con- fession that man has not learned to use the blessings his brains have de- vised for the good of the social or- der. It admits that we have not only failed to make the adjustments need- ed to correct present inequalities but that we shall never be able to do so. It contemplates a situation where everyone will work long hours as against the present condition where some work long hours and others get government relief funds. It is much too early for this coun- try or the world to make such a con- fession. For this idea to be adopted would be to halt that remarkable pro- cellent vocabularies, and there seems to be something about a sailor's life which makes that necessary. Take, for example, a busy coxswain engaged in bringing a motor launch up alongside a pier in a stiff cross wind against an adverse tide, with no one on the dock to take his lines but @ couple of rookies who don’t know a Tope from a necktie. One shudders to think of the emotional strain he will suffer if he complies literally with Admiral Leigh’s order. Worth Supporting Anyone who saw the opening base- ball game of Bismarck’s season Sun- day afternoon will agree that we rave a splendid ball club in the making. Any team looks good when it wins, but the same comment would have been justified if the outcome had been different. The boys played heads-up baseball all the way be- hind excellent pitching and proved they have great potential power. With more practice will come ad- ditional color and some interesting games are assured. , Present indications are that Bis- marck has a team this year of which any citizen may be proud and which will give a good account of it- self against all comers. It is worth all the support Bismarck’s baseball fans can give it. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

SHAVE, GIRLS, SHAVE, AND HERE’S GOOD HUNTING A kind-hearted, you know, girls, fatherly colleague contributes a bit of comforting advice for the ladies who are just crazy to go bicycling but re- frain because the prevailing costume makes shaving necessary, and the more a lady shaves the more... But let our friend tell it: Dear Doctor: Your recent statement to the effect that the fine down that covers every women’s skin tends to become coarser and more con- spicuous if she shaves with safety razor or uses chemicai depilatories to remove it, is not correct, ac- cording to my observation. I am 55 years old. Since boy- hood I have had a “bug” on carry- ing a sharp knife. At each sharp- ening I tested it by shaving some of the hair off my left forearm. For many years I kept that sur- face shaved off smoothly. Now after six months it has grown out, and certainly the years of shaving did not make the hair grow coarser or heavier. I noticed when this hair first grew out it did seem stiffer, but after it grew longer it became as soft and fine as the hair on the unshaved arm. Perhaps this ap- Parent coarseness and stiffness of the hair when it is short explains the common belief that shaving or dissolving the hair stimulates a coarser growth. You can contribute a good deal to the happiness of some women— to say nothing of the joy of life for the rest of us—by reassuring your fair readers about this. Yours sincerely, Cc. P.C., M.D. I might worm out of it by pleading that my warning was intended par- ticularly for young girls who, in criti- cally scrutinizing their complexion, discover the fine, practically invisible down, and immediately set about re- moving it, first with some chemical depliatory, and later resorting to other means — razor, pumice, electrolysis, charlatan (for a reliable physician would not subject-a patient to the hazard of X-ray burn for this cos- metic purpose). Now that the bicycle is back and everybody not physically disabled or decrepit yearns to ride again, the kind message of our good colleague is both timely and reassuring. If a noticeable growth of hair is all that keeps a lady from getting into a nifty costume and taking a spin on her bike, why, bless her heart, there's no reason in the world why she should not shave and be happy. If a lady is averse to the use of a even venturing to submit to X-ray; & monkeyshines at the hands of some; Answer—A normal mind does not become unbalanced by such a shock, but a mind already impaired would be likely to react with some manifesta- tion of insanity.

I am anxious ebout this. (Mrs. J. 8.) Answer—The pupils normally con- tract in light and dilate or grow large in shade or darkness. They normally contract when the eye regards any ob- ject within a foot or two, and dilate or enlarge when the. eye looks off to any distant object. So be of good cheer for the lad is oke.

The doctors who looked him over said there was hardly enough strength in him to keep life going even with food, and without food he would surely die. But Gandhi did not think so, and is there much room for doubt that one of the chief reasons why he lived to finish his fast is that he did NOT think so? : Another, of course, is that the spirit is stronger than the material body in this sainted leader, and that the con- sciousness of a right cause helped him through. Somehow, in ways that science has not yet explained, the mental attitude often holds the decision of life or death. Lose a strong man in the woods without food and, panic-stricken, he | will race around and die of starva- tion and exhaustion in a day or two. Put a weaker man on a fast for conscience’s sake, and he will live days and weeks. “It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.” fe chemical does not cause excessive ir- ritation of the skin.

He was arrested two weeks ago by city policemen as he approached the Lomas Oil company office on Main avenue following a tip that robbery of the station was planned, to C. J, Martineson, police chief. Later in the day, John Brooks, al- leged partner of Dant, pleaded guilty tos similar charge and also was sen- tenced to serve two years. He was arrested a few days after Dant. According to the tip, Martine-| son said, Brooks was supposed to have been with Dant on the alleged plan- ned robbery but failed to show up, Deadline Nears for | Referenda on Laws With referendum of two 1933 legis- lative acts assured, petitions in cir- culation for referendum of several other laws may be filed with the sec- {retary of state by 5. p. m.
