His routine is too difficult, his tasks too arduous to warrant any but the most ambitious and energetic in seeking the job. But during the next week or two a lot of folks are going to envy Presi- dent Roosevelt as he takes his vaca- tion on the Amberjack, a trim sailing vessel. The sound of wind in the rigging, the slap of water against the bow, {more friends in foreign nations than THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1938 cutting it down. If we can continue with our safety campaigns, if we find new ways of regulating the flow of traffic and if individual drivers come to recognize more clearly their res- duce the toll a little each year. Toscanini and the Nazis Nazi leaders in Germany are en- raged, according to cable dispatches, because Arturo Toscanini, famous New York orchestra leader, has re- fused to conduct performances at this summer's Wagnerian festival at Bey- reuth. Toscanini cancelled his con- tract because he opposes the Nazi an- ti-Jew policy. ‘The interesting thing about it all is that the Nazis are now explaining to the German people that Toscanini “has not escaped the effects of the great and well organized anti-Ger- man propaganda.” That, of course, is one way of look- ing at it. But why cannot these Nazi chieftains understand, or admit, that it is their own actions which consti- tute the greater part of this “anti- German propaganda”? When the Nazis came to power, Germany had at any time since the war. If she has lost a great many of them the blame rests on what the Nazis have done, and not on any cooked-up wave of propaganda, H A Successful Fair It would be hard to estimate exact- ly the amount of influence a great fair can have on a country. Histor- jans generally agree that the Colum- bian exposition, held in Chicago 40 years ago, was @ tremendous cultural force in the developing life of Ameri- ca; and it is interesting, therefore, to read that the attendance at Chi- cago’s 1933 Century of Progress ex- Position during its first five days sur- the low murmur of the waves is something which appeals to the av- erage man, particularly if he be an inlander to whom this would be a new experience. ‘To be sure, there are always such things as sea-sickness and possibly other drawbacks which do not appear at first glance. But when one feels the lust for adventure and new ex- perience these things become of little importance. The president selected this par- ticular type of vacation because he likes it, but it seems one peculiarly well adapted to his needs. It will give him the restful solitude which he must sorely need after his recent busy months. No other man sees so many per- sons, has s0 many words poured into his ears as the president of these United States. No one else is s0 sought after. No other citizen is so continually pestered. Even during his vacation, well-meaning admirers or self-seekers would hardly allow him to take his ease undisturbed if he happened to be where he could be teached. Therein lies one of the main bene- fits of this sea trip. Alone with a few chosen companions, he can rest far from the maddening throng, se- rene in the knowledge that no one is Mable to pop out from behind the next wave to pour a new stream of words into his ear. Probably the secret service men, charged with the president's safety, will wish the chief executive had re- mained on land where he could be watched. The nervous may wonder) what would happen if a violent storm suddenly were to assail the Amber- jack with the president aboard. Others may conjure up various other, things to worry about. But the president reckoned on all of those things and it is to be pre- sumed that he has taken ample pre- cautions to guard against unneces- sary risk. All of us hope the chief executive will return to his desk as “fit as a fiddle” and prepared to plunge into the gigantic tasks confronting him with renewed energy. , Don’t Fret Doctors, in stressing ways to pre- vent bodily discomfort during hot weather, mention such things as wearing light, loose, clothes, not in- dulging in too many ice-cold drinks, staying in the shade and other items, and then, almost invariably wind up with the injunction “don't worry about the weather.” Of all the instructions the latter, according to psychiatrists, is the most important and the hardest to ob- serve. Those who worry about the heat insist on doing so and there isn’t much that can be done to help them. Persons with open minds, however, might try it out. It is a queer thing that intensely busy persons usually find little time to fret about the weather. ; Our Safer Highways For the first time there is an in- dication that the American people are beginning to learn how to handle their automobile traffic safely. The National Safety Council points out that motor vehicle fatalities last year dropped for the first time since gutos took to the highways. To be gure, fewer autos were being driven than in the year before; yet the re- duction in traffic fatalities—about 13 Per cent—was twice as great as the decrease in automobile travel, as gauged by gasoline consumption. Of course, one swallow doesn’t make ® summer. The total of traffic deaths 4s still shockingly high; there is every reason to expect that it will continue to be 80 for many years. But it is encouraging to notice that we are at least making a start on the job of passed the Columbian’s attendance during the same period, by 409,000 to 185,000. When Philadelphia's Sesqui-Cen- tennial exposition resulted in failure @ few years ago, it was commonly said that the day of the great world’s fair was over, The Century of Progress affair seems destined to disapprove that statement in short order. And it appears quite likely that the event will have quite as great an influence on the cultural life of the country as its famous predecessor of 40 years ago had. The Railroads Hit Back One of the most interesting bits of railroad news of recent years is the announcement that the Burlington road is about to put into service a new streamlined, motor-driven train that can clip off an average speed of 120 miles an hour on long cross-coun- peearne: ‘This is interesting not only because of the new transportation convenience it promises, but because it shows a large American railroad preparing to strike back at the competitors who have been putting all railroads in the hole lately. Instead of sitting back and weeping about the competition of bus, automobile and airplane, the di- rectors of the Burlington are getting ready to give those agencies a little competition on their own account. It is a pretty safe bet that other roads will be following suit shortly. Then we shall se whether the proph- ets of doom have not been a bit pre- mature in chanting the swan song of the American railroad, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published without ré to whether they agree or dis: with The Tribune's policies, Vicarious Patriotism (Chicago Tibune) A resolution passed by the senate requests the secretary of the treasury to call upon holders of the govern- ment bonds issued to finance the war to turn in their bonds in exchange for a new issue at a lower rate of interest. The resolution invites attention to the voluntary conversion of British bonds paying 5 per cent interest for bonds bearing 3 per cent, and a simi- lar sacrifice accepted by the French. The assumption is that American bondholders will not fall behind the British and French in the spirit of Patriotic sacrifice which the fiscal exigencies of our government at this time ought to evoke. We have as much faith in Ameri- can patriotism as the senate, but we would suggest that the proposal would come with better grace from the sen- ate and inspire a more enthusistic response from the bondholders if sen- atorial proponents had shown more respect for the situation they are ask- ing the bondholders to relieve at their own particular expense. Upon the day on which the resolution was passed almost unanimously the senate had revolted against every major measure of economy before it, at the presi- dent's authority to reduce unjustifi- able expenditures in payments to vet- erans and at the reorganization ord- ers which would save 25 million dol- lars by the abolition or consolidation of commissions, bureaus and other Spending agencies which are cherish- ed only by job holders and politicians. The senate's appeal for sacrifice from citizens has little logic and less moral weight while the senate fights every substantial measure to relieve the necessity of the government and the taxpayers of the nation. Why should a government bondholder be asked to accept less than his due in order to allow the senate to maintain unjustifiable largess to organized ex- ploiters and unnecessary expenditures upon an overblown bureaucacy? Until Parasitic politics relaxes its grip up- pon expenditure it has no excuse for asking citizens to carry a load it will not lighten. The fixed charges of government must be reduced, but the first and essential step is the reduc- tion of government spending. Politics should diminish some of its Haag citizens. own demands before it asks sacrifices Ponsibility, we should be able to re-|.

CHILD HAS MAJOR OPERATION A child six years of age appeared robust, pink-cheeked and healthy. At five she had had whooping cough, and since that time she had a spell of coughing each morning, which kept up till she cried, and ended in vomiting. The rest of the time she was in good spirits. Two or three physicians whom the parents con- sulted advised removal of the ton- sils, They urged that this be done before she entered school. i A few days before the opening of school in the autumn the child’s mother took her to the best physician in the community. He said he would do the operation in his office; he had a few beds there for that purpose. He assured the mother that there was no danger, that children do not die from tonsillectomy, and that there was no need of taking the child to a hospital... . The doctor lied and he knows he lied. But it is done. No matter where tonsillectomy may be done, it is a major operation. Children or adults may die from it. There is al- ways a certain degree of risk in- volved in such an operation. This is plain truth and no physician can or will deny it. Well, the mother sat in an outer room while the operation was under way. That is all right—it is bad enough for daddy or Uncle Joe to facil by; mother should not be a witness. Presently the nurse ran out and called the Public Service Corporation and asked that the resuscitation squad be sent immediately. Mother rushed to the door and saw the doc- tor working the child’s arms. The doctor betrayed his incompe- tence there. There could be no good reason why he should not turn the child over to the prone position and then apply prone-pressure resuscita- tion, That posture would have been better from every standpoint. Work- ing the arms is a futile gesture. Perhaps, had the incompetent doctor known how to resuscitate,—or rather, had there been no “resuscitation squad” the doctor might have known how to resuscitate. The doctor declared the child had not died of hemorrhage, that he had not administered too much ether, in fact he had given only half of the quantity usually used in such an op- eration, that the nurse had admin- istered it under his supervision and she had learned anesthetization un- der his instruction, that the child did not choke. He insisted she had died from paralysis of the larynx. All that may be so. There is just one fair criticism we can make, and that is the doctor’s fajlure to provide an inhalator for the administration of carboxygen (mixture of 93 per cent oxygen and 7 per cent carbon di- oxide )in an office where he per- formed major operations under gen- eral anesthesia, His impotent call to the public service emergency crew pe @ very inadequate apology for at. There is in the same family a child three years old and some doctors have advised that this other child’s tonsils should be removed, only they oe eee ee ee OURY, LORY, DAYS ARE WORLD-WIDE? WHAT PART OF THE HUMAN BODY IS SHOWN HERE ? concede it isn’t urgent. I think if it were my child I’d take a chance, then, and wait till the child is old enough (six to eight years) to have the ton- sils extirpated by diathermy. That is always a feasible alternative for major surgical tonsillectomy. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ay, There's the Rub In spite of your claim that mas- sage will not reduce superfluous flesh I have had different experience. In less than a month of daily mas- sage by my beautician I have had a reduction of over two inches in my waist line. (Mrs. W. J. F.) Answer—I do not doubt that re- duction in weight and size may be brought about by one thing or an- other while you are receiving such massage. I merely assure you the massage has nothing to do with it. Usually the restriction in diet and the increased exercise or both bring about the reduction which the victim ascribes to massage. Wearing Glasses Is there an advantage in wearing rest glasses? I can see well and clearly, but my eyes get very tired, feel heavy and I have dark circles under them. .. (Miss C. J. 0.) Answer—A young person should wear glasses only when her physi- cian advises it. The symptoms you mention do not indicate any fault of vision. Blow, Children, Blow In a “Course of Study for the Elementary Schools of Wisconsin” this statement is given: (4) Children should learn to blow both nostrils at once, as blowing one at a time may force infection into the ear passages. Please give your opinion of this. W. H.. Answer—It is all right, I think. However, it is all right to blow first one nostril, then the other, too, pro- vided the blowing is always gentle, never too forcible. By JULIA BLANSHARD New York, June 19.—Everybody who has carfare and spare time is running down to Washington for a day to take in what Washingtonians call The Greatest Show on Earth—meaning the Senate investigation of the House of Morgan, The high spot the other day, from a human interest viewpoint, was the moment when J, P. Morgan discovered. that somebody had sat on his new $100 Panama hat. His smile faded. He looked the retrieved hat over, Straightened out the crown and smoothed the brim, and then handed it to someone who started to put it down on another chair. “Here,” Morgan said, peremtorily, reaching for his hat, “I don’t want that sat on again!” Just then young Thomas Lamont, a Morgan partner, came in. “Hello, Tommy,” Morgan greeted him. “Here, hold my hat, will you?” Lamont took the hat and pro- ceeded to hold it, out of harm's way, during the entire session. _ The talk around both Washington and New York is that the list that really would make a sensation, if pub- lished, is that of the very prominent men who were offered special stock and accepted and then, when prices slumped and they hadn’t yet paid, welched on their acceptance and let Morgan’s firm stand the loss . % % MIXED PERSONALITIES One of the most interesting spec- RECOGNIZE HIM? | HORIZONTAL ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE 8 Renter. ry ° Irixh fuel.

Mrs. Lorrimer per- suades Mary Lou to assume the role of Delight to help Travers re- gain his health.
