Price Cutting Vanishes One of the healthiest signs of the business recovery is that price-cut- ting is vanishing from the commer- cial field. When business was on the down- grade and manufacturers found their Volume decreasing, many of them at- tempted to meet the situation by re- ducing their prices. To do this they Pared wages, carved overhead costs and made other changes which, now that things are better will prove beneficial. Eliminating the waste in American business was a good thing, Tegardiess of the times. But people have become used to the, cutting of prices with its con- sequent reductions in selling costs. Now that prices are going up we shall hear objections. 4 The price of bread is the best illus- tration of the point. Wheat has risen sharply in recent weeks, bring- ing less joy to the farmer than would be the case if he had a satisfactory crop, but proving a boon to him nevertheless. Other things which go into the making of bread also have increased in price, the change being directly re- flected in increased income to Amer- fica’s basic producers. Yet we have the perfectly natural reaction of a protest when the price is advanced to the consumer. This is no effort to defend the re- cent boost in the cost of the staff of life as made by bakers here and else- where. It is only fair, however, to call attention to the fact that some increase was inevitable under the Program which we are pursuing. The recent statement of John Hoffman, presenting the case for the bakers, seemed reasonable enough. Only investigation will show whether his figures are correct and the amount of the current increase is fully justified, but no one will ques- tion the soundness of his request that people withhold their judgment until they get all of the facts; that they not indulge in snap judgment er prejudiced thinking. Because it is of paramount impor- tance, the government should make @ fair and impartial inquiry into the bread situation, getting expert testi- mony from both sides. The people should not be made to pay for water in the corporate or- ganizations of baking companies, if there is any. Neither, by the same token, should the baker be required to make and sell bread at 9 loss. In deciding these important ques- tions it should not be forgotten that, facts are the only basis for honest thinking and that a square deal has Square edges. The Goldfish Bowl Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson, administra- tor of the government's industrial re- covery machinery, promises that this tremendously important new experi- ment is going to take place “in a goldfish bowl.” ; Industrialists who devise a code for their plants must get up where everybody can see and hear them to explain just what they believe about working hours, wages, profits, prices and the like. This is perhaps the most whole- some part of all the “new deal.” - It means that the hush-hush days at Washington are over. The lobby- ist who tiptoes about the corridors, lurks in the shadows of the capitol Pillars, buttonholes congressmen on the quiet and talks softly in the pri- vacy of a bureaucrat’s office—he has stepped out into the open now, and all that he says and does takes place in the brightness of the spotlight. That, anyhow, is the theory. But some of the big boys don’t seem to have heard about it yet. Washington correspondents report- ed that old-style lobbyists swarmed all over the capital during the last session of congress. A sizable army of them still remains there. They are trying to work in the traditional manner; making deals, putting on the fix, applying pressure, trading favors, exerting pull, exercising all of the old tricks. If anything is obvious, it is that ‘me time for this sort of thing is past. What the big business man, the ; financier and the company director , do nowadays is strictly the public’s business. The country is embark- | ing on a vast new experiment in | economics, and it has a right to know which of its business leaders are go- is t Bley belt and which are try- . v THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1933 “ ing to drop a monkey wrench in the machinery. General Johnson's goldfish bowl is the only place in which lobbying can be tolerated now. Any business group that objects to what is being done is entitled to state its case there. It has every right to voice its objections and to argue for special consideration—so long as it does it openly, where all of us can hear. It has no right whatever to do it under cover, in the privacy of someone's in- ner office. Brawn and Brains ‘That part of the general public which is interested in college foot- ball is pretty well used to the sight of the star athlete who manages to complete his college course only by 50|dint of the most terrific mental struggle. The burly fullback who takes snap courses, has a tutor to prepare him for exams and even then gets passing marks only because the professors are lenient—he is a com- mon and a rather uninspiring figure on the campus. But the football star isn’t always in that class. It is instructive, for example, to notice the names of the five cadets who finished their courses at West Point recently at the head of the list in academic work. The top man of all was none other than Kenneth Fields, famous as a football halfback. Two of the other four were also well-known athletes. And the curriculum at West Point makes the average college course look soft by comparison. A Record Achievement One of the brightest achievements of the U. 8S. war department seems to have been recorded in connection with the enrollment and mobilization of the Civilian Conservation Corps this spring. Robert Fechner, director of the emergency conservation work, re- veals that the program laid down by President Roosevelt has been carried out to the letter. More than 274,000 young men have been enrolled in the forestry corps, and upwards of 250,000 of them are now in the. corps’ 1300 work camps. Thus in three months more men have been enlisted and put in camps than was the case in the first three months of American participation in the World war, Apparently a pretty difficult and complicated job has been done with @ good deal of efficiency and prompt- ness. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other edito They are published without regal to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, How States May Qualify (New York Times) Budget Director Douglas, who has insisted that government expenditures be limited by certain prudent regula- tions, has added two points to his Policy. The president will doubtless consider them earnestly. Mr. Douglas would extend federal public-works aid only to those states which have bal- anced their budgets or can demon- strate that they are proceeding to do 80. He would also appropriate none of the $3,300,000,000 authorized by ‘congress for public construction for any project not “absolutely sound and useful.” The administration and congress are crowded with persons who would instantly divide the $3,300,000,000 among the states on a population or other ratio and urge that all of it be spent immediately. They would have the federal government approve any sort of public work, provided it would give employment. The facts that, many of the projects of states and municipalities are without present or future value, that they would provide employment on a low proportion to the amount of money they would cost, and that the states or municipalities sponsoring these projects have bad fiscal records, do not disturb these advocates of a broad spending campaign. They have never been doubtful, as Mr. Douglas has been, of the effect of the federal arithmetic which sets up an “extra- ordinary budget,” adding greatly to the public debt, but marks up the government as living within its in- come because the ordinary budget is, in a manner of speaking, bal- anced. Recent evidence from Washington has been that the president is not inclined to align himself with these squanderers in his official and legis- lative group. Some days ago it was reported that he generally agreed with Mr. Douglas to pass out the $3,300,000,000 only when, as and if needed for sound projects. If he adopts the broad principle now pro- posed, that political divisions which want federal aid should set their own houses in order, he will do much to Teassure those who have felt con- cern over the extraordinary bud- getary allowances. We have inform- ed other nations that they must bal- ance their budgets before we can make international agreements with them. The same attitude toward the various states and cities would consolidate the administration’s pur- pose in favor of domestic economy everywhere, Fifty per cent of the people listed in Who's Who have had a college edu- cation and 79 per cent have had a high school education. About six cents of every 15 cents spent for cigarets in the United States is paid to the Federal govern- ment in taxes. For more than 10 years, Rutland, one of England’s smallest countries, hhas had no civil cases nor prisoners for trial at her assizes, The total front in the World War was approximately 400 miles long; American troops held about 25 per cent of it.

The French physicians called it progressive chronic deforming rheu- matism—but then, they keep up many quaint customs in the old country. Lest our Scotch readers, if any left, try to procure a trial package of the new rheumatism treatment, we had better explain here that no layman can get the remedy. Viola. Patients experience a feeling of well being after the first few injections, and presently find they have increas- ed facility of movement, greater flexi- bility of the affected joints. This ef- fect appears half an hour after a dose and lasts for many hours. The effect of the parathyroid in- Jections in chronic disabling arth- ritis is comparable with the effect of insulin injections in diabetes. The remedy is effective only so long as each dose acts—but the patient profits by the benefit gained while the dose tabolism is improved. You know, if you take an Iodin Ra- tion. You know if you play the Last Brady Symphony. Just as every sufferer from diabetes should have the benefit of insulin treatment, so every victim of chronic disabling arthritis should have at least the careful consideration of the newer ideas or principles of treatment by his physician. There is another new idea which has Brought real benefit in many cases of chronic disabling arthritis. That is insulin treatment. English physicians have found that such pa- tients experience gratifying relief when given insulin long enough to bring their weight up to or near the normal, No miraculous results should be expected, but just a gradual im- provement in general and local con- dition. Not a few bedridden patients have been restored to a fair degree of activity by this method. Improves the metabolism, you see.

QUQESTIONS AND ANSWERS Oily Scalp and Dandruff I have a shampoo every two weeks, yet a few days after a shampoo my scalp and hair are oily again, and there is a good deal of dandruff all the time ... (Miss M. L.) Answer—Shampoo every day or two, or at least twice a week. Or remove excess of oil from hair by drawing strands thru a soft cloth wet with cologne water or your favorite toilet water or bay rum, containing five grains of salicylic acid and five grains of resorcin in each ounce of the liquid. A few drops of this rubbed into the scalp daily is good for oily dandruff or seborrhea (excessive flow of oil on scalp.) Remember that resorcin tends to stain very ‘blond or white or gray hair reddish yellow. The best remedy for dandruff, I think, is a pomade, systematically applied according to directions given in a monograph on the Care of the Hair.

By JULIA BLANSHARD New York, July 11—Headlines on the Douglas Fairbanks-Mary Pickford divorce brings back vivid memories of war days of 1917-18, when they, with Charlie Chaplin, were selling Liberty Bonds in New York ... It was on this tour that the romance started .. . Both then were married to other Mary Pickford sold one of her famous gold curls, then the symbol of all the sweetness and light that he- men wanted in their women, to the highest purchaser of bonds. She stood on the landing of the little stairway leading up from the back of Lord and Taylor's and the store was so packed that doors had to be locked to keep the rest of the crowd outside. .. After- wards she joined Fairbanks, who did his bit by turning back somersaults, walking on his hands and going through a lightning series of fantas- tic gymnastics, and Chaplin, who made a speech, on a platform in front of the Library on Fifth Avenue... . Crowds filled the avenue and 40th Street, entirely blocking traffic, and that trio got more applause than the soldiers who paraded the preceding day... * * % CHAPLIN TURNS THE TABLES Next day, the three again appeared, this time on a platform built up in front of the Treasury Building in Wall Street. . . Fairbanks did his stuff and Miss Pickford came forward to smile and wave and urge everyone to “Buy Bonds.” . . . Her little-girl voice carried no farther than the front row but just seeing “America’s Sweetheart” in person was enough in those long- ago days... However, when Chaplin’s turn came, there were cries of derision. . .

If it does no good, it at least can do no harm. This remedy goes well with the para- thyroid treatment, by the way, and so far as I know it does not interfere with the insulin treatment.

Then he leaned over and asked some- body for a derby and somebody else for a cane. Then he hurried back, dragged forward one of the tables that they had been using for bonds, borrowed a couple of chairs right out from under officials recording bond sales, and placed one chair by either end of the table. Then he straightened up, faced the crowd, put the derby on his head, just so; turned his wellshod feet out, in the Chaplin manner; twirled his cane @ time or two; walked over to the table in his inimitable manner, walked right up over one chair, across the table, down the other table and faced the crowd again. ..

Travers is told te must win “Delight” all over ‘ain. Ig the months that follow, ravers is more attracted to “Delight” than ever. Mary Lou loves Travers and feels she can- not keep up the masquerade. Just as the crisis is reached, Larry Mitchell, Mary Lou's newspaper teporter friend, locates the real Delight acting in a revue. Mary Lou is stunned by the news. Mrs. Lorrimer comforts Mary Lou and plans to investigate. She attends the revue while Jenny Wyane, Larry’s fiancee, gives a party to keep Travers from getting suspic- tous.
