Where Delay Means Death Announcement by Dr. Charles MacLachlan, superintendent of the state tuberculosis sanatorium at San Haven that some patients are about to be sent home uncured in order to make room for new ones, is notice of ® serious situation in North Dakota. The decision is a just one but never-the-less regrettable. What it will mean, in a large number of in- stances, is that these people will be sent home to die after two years of sanatorium care have failed to effect a cure. The measure is drastic but neces- sary if the sanatorium is to fulfill the end for which it was instituted, the cure of incipient cases of the white plague. Such tremendous advances have been made in fighting this disease that we are apt to forget the humble beginnings from which the great enti-tuberculosis movement sprang and the experiences of the past. We should be careful not to do so, may not even be permitted to forget, for the apparent tendency now is toward the same conditions in sanatoria which existed 20 years ago. There was a time when the only cure for tuberculosis was thought to jie in Colorado, California, Arizona or some other far land. ‘Phen the doctors learned that proper care and treatment would effect a cure in al- most any climate and there sprang up throughout the country many in- stitutions, most of them financed by public money, to meet the situation. Into these sanatoria went patients in all stages of the disease with the result that many lingered there to die. Many of these public institu- tions became merely havens for those who had no place else to go. Filled with bed-ridden patients, applica- tions piled up and many who might have been cured, had they received treatment in time, were left at home to become more seriously infected. ‘The policy of delaying treatment un- til @ vacancy occurred in the sana- torlum made sure that none but at- vanced cases would be admitted. ‘This, in turn, reduced still further the turnover in patients and the number of cures; sent more tuber- cular men and women to the grave than back to a useful existence. It was apparent repitition of this condition which caused Dr. MacLach- jan and the health authorities to make the two-year rule for San Haven. It is hard on those who are to be sent home uncured, but the only method by which children and others with curable cases of tuberculosis can be given treatment in the early Stages of the disease. The sad part about it is the knowl- edge that for many of those who are sent home it may be tantamount to @ speedy death warrant, even though two years in the sanatorium should have taught them how to take care of themselves and protect those about, them. Tt also means that a large num- ber of new sources of infection will be introduced into the social body. In many cases children will be brought {nto contact with such persons, per- hhaps to their detriment. We have this situation on the one hand; on the other that of scores of Persons, only slightly affected, who Bay “If you give us treatment now ‘we will live. If you delay we will die.” Look It Over First Although probably adopted in the best of faith, that resolution by the Dickinson Business association asking the governor to call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of loosening the requirements for tssu- ing bonds should be investigated carefully before action is taken upon at. Speed is the watchword of the times and there are many who feel that North Dakota is falling behind in taking advantage of the federal government's offer to help finance meeded public works, Nevertheless, it is better to look before leaping into a situation which will continue for many years to come. Xt is not wise to forget that the bill, fn the long run, must be paid by the fame man who now finds difficulty fn keeping up the taxes on his home and farm if, indeed, they are paid #t all.

Control over bond issues is one of |the few safeguards against unwise public expenditure left in the hands be deprived of it now. It is neither difficult nor expen- sive to conduct a bond election in the average municipality. The time re- quired is not great. The people who are to pay for it should determine whether or not a proposed building project is justified. Then, if the tax- payer finds himself saddled with a white elephant, he will know how it got there. Some States Favored ‘Wheat is the one grain grown bd round the world, yet it is interesting to note how little of it is produced in some areas where its cultivation might be assumed to be more exten- sive. In a recent bulletin of the depart- ment of agriculture the wheat pro- duction of each state was listed, Kan- sas and North Dakota being the only ones above the 100,000,000-bushel mark. Next in order came Nebraska, Oklahoma, Montana and Washing- ton, the latter state having an aver- age five-year output of 42,567,600 bushels. Down at the bottom of the list is Mississippi, which averaged only 2,600 bushels, less than many a North Da- kota farm. Next is Vermont with 15,000 bushels and Alabama with 34,- 400. Altogether there are 27 states whose average production of wheat is less than 20,000,000 bushels a year; 23 with an average production of less than 10,000,000 boshels. From this it will be seen that North Dakota is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the allotment pay- ments. It will be more widely distributed in this area, however, than is the case in some states. Whitman coun- ty, Washington, for example, will get a total of $1,600,000 from the allot- ment, of which $1,100,000 will be paid this fall. Ford county, Kansas, will receive a total of $849,000.

No False Security (The Texas Weekly) ‘The president's program is of such far-reaching character, and so much of it still remains to be put definitely into operation, that it is only im- Perfectly understood by the great mass of our people. Especially is it true that the experimental character of many of its features is not fully appreciated, nor is it widely under- stood that to a very great extent it is going to be necessary for the admin- istration to explore uncharted areas and to advance in directions from which it may later become advisable to retreat. It is this very circum- stance which makes a feeling of false security at this stage of the game especially dangerous, Temporary fail- ure in any direction would be bound to jolt this feeling considerably, and might easily tend toward bringing about reaction away from the whole Program. It is for this reason that we express our concern about the Ganger of runaway prices. We are certain that President Roosevelt and his advisers are fully awake to this danger. But we are equally as cer- tain that the great majority of those who are calling most loudly for everybody to “support the President” are not aware of it at all. Another danger is that the leaders of industry generally, or a considerable percen- tage of them, will lose sight of the most important feature of the pro- gram contemplated under the Re- covery Act, which is that of greatly increasing employment in all indus- tries by means of thorough-going re- duction of the hours of labor of those already employed. We are decidedly of the opinion that if by this time next year, let us say, there has not been brought about a great increase in employment in industry, quite apart from that directly traceable to the public works program, there will be widespread reaction among the mass of the people against the Na- tional Recovery Act and all of its Provisions. The question no longer is whether the program contemplated under that act is the proper one to Pursue. That question was put out of court once the act was enacted into law. The fact now is that it is an essential part of the whole of the ad- ministration’s program to achieve re- covery and it must be given the full- est trial if that program is not to be crippled or defeated. It cannot be abandoned now, without abandoning all collective effort to achieve recov- ery. Our formula of recognizing that the responsibility is the president's and resolving doubts on that basis, applies here very decidedly. The president has attempted to invoke a “war mood” among the people, and among the leaders of industry, a mood that would justify every sacri- fice on the ground that we are in the midst of a struggle to conquer the depression, a struggle no less vital than war with a foreign enemy would be. It cannot be said he has been altogether successful in this, and it may even be said that the mood which is making headway just now 4s a mood of carnival. It is a mood of “happy days are here again,” and if it should become entirely dominant it might easily defeat the effort to attain the goal for which it pre- maturely rejoices. If a genuine “war mood” is not possible, we might at least have a general recognition of the fact that we are far from being out of danger and that in the mean- time the only safe thing to do is to follow the leadership of those whose responsibility it is to conduct us beyond danger. They may not suc- ceed even with the fullest support and confidence. And without the fullest. support and confidence the chances of success will certainly not be increased, Clocks of the Naval Observatory which furnish time for the United in an underground vault and are never opened except in case of emer. a of the average citizen.

My 16-year-old daugh- ter has been under a doctor's care for more than a year, for anemia. That was overcome by the doctor's treatment, but she still suffered from a kind of chronic fatigue which seemed impossible to overcome. She has been ready for college since Febr- uary but unable to go because of this great fatigue. I gave her the Iodin Ration according to your in- structions. The result has been sim- ply unbelievable. The doctor told me to keep right on with it.

N ow | NEW | IL YORK New York, Aug. 3.—A little crowd gathered in front of the Paramount Theater as a police motorcycle escort whirled to the curb and shooed away the line of taxicabs with a shriek of sirens. Into the ample vacancy drew a blue Rolls-Royce, its grotesquely high top testifying a mellow age. At- tendants flocked to open the door. Out stepped a tall, dark-skinned man in a white suit, then a small dark-skin- ned man in snappy, Harlemesque at- tire. They faced about to assist a medium-sized dark skinned man wearing a full beard, a well-tailored brown suit, and an air‘of dignity. “It's the Prince,” breathed the on- lookers. . . ‘That prince from Africa who's been down to see Roosevelt.” .. “Don't look so princely in that get- up, though; he shoulda wore them trick pants like when his pitchur was in the papers”... xk * PRINCE HAS A GOOD CRY It was, indeed, the Prince. His Royal Highness, Ras Desta Demtu, son-in-law of His Majesty Haile Selas- sie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, King of Kings, Defender of the Faith, Con- querering Lion of Judea, was going to the movies. Not to the regular theater, but to @ private projection room for a spec- jal showing of “The Sign of the Cross.” It seems that Prince Desta Demtu’s hobbies are military work, horses, religion (he is a Coptic Chris- tian), lions (there being a great many of the latter at the royal palace at Addis-Ababa), and motion pictures. Since all of these things were com- bined in the DeMille spectacle, Para- mount executives figured that His Highness would enjoy it immensely. Do You Know Her?

By royal command, “Ben Hur,” “The Ten Commandments” and “The King of Kings” have been shown at Addis- Ababa thus far, the projection ma- chine and films being transported all the way from Port Said. Mere mention of that long trek still brings shudders to the sound men. who filmed the coronation of Haile Selassie three years ago. It seems that fuel depots previously had been established along the way, but that a band of natives broke into them one by one, drank all the gasoline, and don.

No matter how charmed you may be at first with the words, a sustained effort de- mands little surprises, little mo- ments of not knowing what's going to happen,” Pamela Warren in- formed her lovely, young niece, Patricia Braithwait, as they basked in the Palm Beach sunshine. Eight years before the wealthy Pamela had married handsome Jimmie Warren, and, in spite of an over- whelming love, their marriage had palled. Pat is shocked to learn that her father has lest his fortune. Aunt Pam suggests that Pat insure her father’s and her own future by marrying the wealthy, middle-aged ey Blaine, warning that the glamour of love wears off.

The bather whose tall form she had found so familiar, now in white flannel and soft shirt, dropped on the sand beside her. Reclining on one elbow, he stretched his long legs toward the tide. the outermost fringe of the blaze. But her resentment sank into a trembling feathery ash before the question in her mind: “Who is he?, T ought to know. I do know.” Out of the corner of her eye she noted the fine embroidered mono- gram on his shirt sleeve—“J. L.”— J. L.? The long fingers of his right hand were drawing blind patterns in the sand. Clean patterns, sure of line, the unconscious tracings of a trained hand. ... Is he a famous artist whose pictured face I know?

I've found solitude the worst possible remedy for a sick mind.” “Your wisdom, I dare say, is ab- solute,” she said stiffly.
