Tostevin, managing editor of the Mandan Pio- neer, North Dakota loses ‘an excel- lent newspaperman and western North Dakota loses one of its sturdi- est advocates, Always an enthusiast, despite the handicap of long-endured ill health, Tostevin was an active protagonist for his home city and the western part of the state. Mandan will miss his fine enthusiasm for its advance- ment and his sturdy insistence upon its place in the sun, for he was the type of newspaperman who enlivens the community in which he lives, gives aid and support to its civic ef- forts and defends it from all attack. 50|was a German soldier and her mother tics are “shaping up” and also to)! give such help and information as he may to those who wish to consult)! with him on any phase of the na- tional scene, Cupid Knows no Rules in Game of War In reporting an attempted middle western hold-up the other day, the newspapers incidentally cast a re- vealing sidelight on the ways of Cupid in time of war. It all happened when three men tried to rob a Cincinnati restaurant. An 18-year-old waitress grabbed a pistol, killed one robber and routed the other two; and the sidelight on Cupid's activities came when it was revealed that this girl had been a sure-enough “war-baby.” Her father a Belgian girl, and they were mar- ried near Antwerp in 1914. Now 1914 was not a time when Ger- mans and Belgians were getting on well together. That matchless host in field gray was pouring across the Belgian plain like an_ irresistible flood, seemingly proving that might is the only right. Belgian sovereignty had almost vanished. Cities and towns were ruled by German officers. Civilians had been executed by firing squads. ‘Thousands of people had fled from their homes. The age-old tragedy of invasion was being reenacted, and out of it was arising that stream of “atrocity” literature which was to help so greatly in creating a war spirit in England and America. In the history books, that scene is painted in solid blacks. But appar- ently, to some of the people on the spot, it wasn’t that way at all. Ap- parently there were young German soldiers to whom the Belgian girls looked like desirable companions, and Gort AWAY! “THiS WOULD BE A LOT MORE The Memory That Still Haunts Us “THE ONE THAT not like the outcast daughters of bit- ter enemies; and there were Belgian girls who could find among the con- instead of mineral oil.

He can even sing a little, and he certainly knows good whistling when he hears it. But try as he will, arrange his lips as he may, he just can’t whistle. Another thing that Toscanini can't do is coax canary birds to sing. A friend gave him a couple of birds the other day, costly ones in a nice cage, end reputedly in fine voica Tos- canini took them to his apartment and sat down to listen. Nothing hap- pened. He pleaded with them, and made suggestive chirping noises, The canaries just looked at him reproach- fully. va@ COACHING CANARIES He went to the piano and played— tinkling, melodious tunes, and even some folksongs from the Hartz moun- tains, The birds were bored.. They weren't impressed, even if the great Toscanini could persuade a whole symphony orchestra to outdo itself. | This went on for days, Finally a young woman named Dorle Jarr¢el came into the studio. She whistled at the birds and they burst into throat-splitting song. This was too much for the maestro, who began pacing up and down and dramatical- ly running his fingers through his hair, “Ah,” cried Toscanini, “what I would give if I could only whistle!” see Bird owners who are leaving town a while park their pets at the Virginia Pope Club House and Sanitarium for Birds. This is a sort of rest home, hospital, training school and board- ing house, and now has about 125 pay- ing guests, People have sent their birds there from as far west as Color- ado, and sometimes mail in checks for years before reclaiming their pets COMPOSING PARROT There is a parrot at the place now, which is certified to be a hundred years old.

But it also made him sick, * kK The bird home is named after its original owner, who founded the insti- tution 49 years ago, but it is now un- der the management of Mrs, Hattie Williams. She says that shé has cared for just about all the birds belonging to Broadway folk, from macaws to crows. Margaret Anglin left a parrot there as a pensioner. Also there is a cockatoo that used to be on the stage, ond can still do a dance to prove it, Marion Talley left a couple of can- aries that she brought back from Europe. And Mrs. Williams used to Rave a Wall Street parrot that was always grumbling about the market, THE BIRD'S AUTOPSY The women attendants at the sani- tarium are skilled in bird lore, and for relaxation they sometimes go up to the bird house in the Bronx Zoo. They make and apply splints for broken legs, cure colds with whiskey, and per- form very delicate little operations on their patients. (Bifds cannot be anaesthetized.)

His was the type of mind which) espoused justice, whatever the odds, and which believed the best defense consists of a strong offensive. Hence it was that he was found in the fore- front of every battle for the ad- vancement of his home city and dis- trict. It was this characteristic which) made for him a host of friends, for whatever else might have been said of him, he was never undecided. or colorless. His mind never suffered with the ills of the flesh and his spirit mever faltered before the thrusts of adversity, for Marle Toste- vin was essentially a fighting man, Returning from the World war, with the physical imprint of that con- flict upon him, he rarely complained and was always cheerful. Suspecting that his was not to be a long life, he made it a full one. Few, seeing him as a man of ac- tion and strong convictions, suspected that Earle Tostevin harbored the soul of a poet. Yet such was the fact. ‘The whimsical things of life had “their attraction for him and the which was strong in battle was easily touched by sentimental things. His poems were written largely for the private reading of his friends and they treasured them because they knew them to be representative of the gentler side of a strong na- ture. A lover of the commonplace as well as the unusual, Earle Tostevin turned to flowers and found in them both joy and solace. Plunging into this field with the same enthusiasm he brought to every endeavor, he be- came one of the leading amateur floriculturists of his home city and district. A man of many personal accom- Plishments as well as a noteworthy editor, Earle Tostevin vacates a po- sition which Mandan will find it difficult to fill. His friends, reviewing his life, will find solace in one thought. They know that he sleeps with the valiant. Lifting the State’s Voice Since national lawmakers are no- toriously hard of hearing when fel- Jow solons speak for their constitu- ents, it is worthy of note that the voice of a North Dakota man will appear fh at least the middle register at the next session of congress, The man is Congressman James H. Sinclair, one of the real veterans among the Republicans since the Democratic landslide of last year. He has been made a member of the house appropriations committee and & member of the subcommittee in charge of the agricultural appropria- tion bill, important posts from the standpoint of North Dakota citizens. To Sinclair, in addition to an im- proved position in the national po- litical picture, it means considerably more labor because effective work on this committee entails considerable research and long hours of hearings. It is not to be expected that Sinclair will worry about that, however. He Jong has been a tireless worker, as his many services to political friend and foe alike in his old third district will testify. Following the close of the special session, Sinclair remained in Wash- ington to aid in interpreting North Dakota's needs to the federal govern- ment. In doing so he found many of his fellows also on the job. With so much of interest back home going on there, congressmen abandoned the old practice of returning to their homes and political fence-building in order to protect the interests of their constituents, Sinclair now is at his home in Kenmare and expects to make a tour (of the state, possibly to see how poli- querors handsome and glamorous boys who could make first-rate hus- bands. ‘We never heard much about those romances. But we might have known they were taking place. They are as old as war. Even when Mars is run- ning the whole show, Cupid is bound to be busy on the sidelines. Invasions are great tragedies, and the thudding of siege guns drowns out many cries of anguish; but al- ways there are soldiers and girls who make their own arrangements about such things. Young love can leap boundaries of hatred, conquest and war. It was so When Alexander marched into Asia, and it is so today. All the wars in the world can’t stop youth from going ahead with its romance. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. The Government’s Accounts (Chicago Tribune) ‘The stories which continue to come out of Washington regarding the vir- tual collapse of the economy program are disturbing. With great courage and an altogether admirable display of leadership, President Roosevelt forced a reluctant congress to reduce the routine costs of government. It looked for a time as if the saving to the taxpayers would amount to as much as a billion dollars a year, the figure, by the way, which was called for in the Democratic platform of a year ago. For a time, also, it seemed that the federal budget would be in balance, or nearly so. ‘The new method of accounting adopted by the treasury has pre- served the appearance of a balanced budget. Ordinary or routine expen- ditures have been separated from ex- traordinary expenses arising from the attempt to end the depression. There is no fault to be found with this separation of items as a book- keeping device; the trouble is that the expenditures labeled extraordi- nary are, in considerable part, noth- ing of the sort; The budget, there- fore, has only the appearance of bal- ance, Activities of the departments at Washington which had been curtailed as a result of the economy measure are now being financed from the ex- traordinary budget. The expendi- tures for naval construction furnish @ clear example. To maintain the navy a certain amount of building is required every year. The cost of new ships is an expense which ought to appear year after year in the ordi- nary budget. To be sure, a warship generally has a life of from 10 to 20 years, but the ships now being built will be out of commission long be- fore they have been paid for through the repayment of the money being borrowed to build them. Charging warships to the extraordinary budget is about equivalent to an issue of bonds for the purchase of squad cars by the Chicago police department. The purpose of government ac- counting is not to show a balanced budget but to show whether the bud- get is balanced, and if not, by how much it is out of balance one way or the other. There could be no quar- rel with the new accounting method if it revealed more to the citizen, the taxpayer and the investor in gov- ernment securities than could be gleaned from the old style reports of the treasury. Unfortunately, the con- trary is true. The solar energy received by an area of 250 acres of tropical desert amounts to about a million horse- power, which is more than enough to supply all the heat and power used by a big city. During the period from America’s entrance into the ‘World War until the signing of the armistice, there were 6205 labor strikes and lockouts in the nation. A collie once found its way from Indiana to Oregon, a distance of about, 2200 miles. Lightning kills about 500 persons annually in the United States. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

BETTER SCALD THAN PARBOIL At this time of year many parents wish to know whether it is safe to change the milk they feed the baby, as will be necessary if they go on a projected vacation. It is perfectly safe to do so, pro- vided the milk the baby receives on the vacation trip or in the summer resort is safe for infant feeding. The purest and safest milk for a baby or for children or invalids is Cer- tified Milk—milk so labeled on the nottle cap. Certified milk is raw milk produced and distributed under strict supervision and regular inspection of a commission including physician, veterinary physician, bacteriologist, chemist, health officer or representa- tive of the local health department. Another grade of milk that is per- tectly safe for the baby or any one on a summer tour is Pasteurized Milk —milk so labeled on the bottle cap. Pasteurized milk is any milk which has been heated up to 145 degrees F., kept at that temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, then allowed to cool again. Such a par-boiling has been found to sill any typhoid, tuberculosis, diph- theria, scarlet fever, septic sore throat. or undulant fever germs the milk might happen to contain. It is unwise to take a chance with ordinary raw milk which one may ob- tain while traveling or while staying for a few weeks in a strange place. If neither Certified Milk or Pasteur- ized Milk is obtainable, then any other milk should be boiled, parboiled jor scalded before it is fed to an in- fant or child. Of course boiling for five minutes is @ practical way to sterilize any milk, but such boiling alters not only the taste but also the physical character of the albumen or protein constituents of milk and their digestibility and their nutritive availability. Likewise it destroys vitamins in mlk. For a temporary emergency these objections are unimportant. An infant may thrive for a few weeks on boiled or par-boiled milk, bus will certainly de- velop scurvy or other deficiency dis- ease if fed on such sterilized food for months, 4 Any one who will take the pains vegetable juice daily to protect against scurvy. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hydrochloric Acid A prescription in an old medical book calls for a teaspoonful of hydro- chloric acid in four ounces of water, a teaspoonful after meals, Is this an aid to digestion? On the hydrochloric acid I find a label Poison. (Mrs. E. R.) Are these three stamps and a penny equivalent to a dime? I'd like your booklet No, 32—Guide to Right Eating. Answer—Many good medicines are poisons when unintelligently used. The gastric juice during digestion of food contains hydrochloric acid, which aids in the digestion of albumin or protein, Sometimes physicians pre- scribe dilute hydrochloric acid after food, when there is deficiency or ab- sence of the acid in the stomach. You had better not monkey with such medicine on your own.

It was Aunt Pamela who suggested that Pat marry wealth, warning that “the glamour of love wears off”. Pamela spoke from experience; her own marriage to handsome Jimmie Warren, a young lawyer, was becoming dull. Jimmie, furious at Pat’s engage- ment, awakens to the realization that he, himself, cares for her. Pat, with youth's optimism, hopes in vain that the young camper whom she only knows as “Jack”, and saw only once, will rescue her from Blaine. Jimmie finds her in the gar- den, sobbing. He takes her in his arms and, in despair and hungry for love, she permits him to kiss her. Next day Pat breaks her en- gagement. Pamela is suspicio when, immediately following Pat’s broken engagement, Jimmie offers to loan Pat money to study art. Pat’s father declines Jimmie’s offer, saying his insurance was adequate for her needs. He plans to take Pat to Paris. One minute Patricia feels she cannot leave Jimmie, and, the next, she loathes him for the kiss ex- perience of the previous night. Then Jack arrives. Pat thinks—if he had only come yesterday, for, today, heis toe late and it is Jimmie she wants. Jack explains he stayed away be- cause her “good-bye” seemed so final. He tells her his name is Jack Laurence. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN She sat up sharply. “Jack Laur- ence!” No wonder she had seemed so amazingly familiar. Oh, idiot! How could she have forgotten! “When did you get back?” she asked. “I’m surprised I hadn’t read about it.” “There's never so much fuss over the solution of a mystery,” he grinned. “But anyway, I’m not offi- cially back. My fathet knows. I asked him not to give it to the papers. I sort of had a feeling that I must have a little while to get myself together before I had re- porters descending upon me. You see, Dad’s rather prominent, and he made such a staggering stir when I disappeared.” She laughed softly. In a flash had come back all those pictures of three years ago. In papers. On the screen, College pictures, most of them. A famous quarterback in ac- tion. All the yards of film resur- rected to help in the world-wide search for him, He had started for Mexico to look after some oil lands belonging to his father. And had dropped off the earth. All trace of him had been lost in El Paso. “But where on earth were you?” “The most obvious place you can imagine. Guess.” “Were you in America all the time?” “All the time.” “Well, if you’d been in a hospital you’d been located—or in a prison —unless a Mexican prison.” “Exactly.” “And they couldn’t find you in all that time?” “They didn’t. I served almost two years on a rock quarry chained to one of the men who'd taken me.” Taken at first for ransom, his * captors had been unable to claim the offered reward. In hiding from eir own government they had to wary of revealing themselves, They planned to get across the bor- der, made several attempts, but al- ways had to get back to cover. Then in the general upheaval in Mexico they had been thrown into prison and he had gone with them as a matter of course. He had tried to bribe his new captors, bat they were too busy with their own af- fairs to pay any attention to the tavings of a ragged tramp who was * * x The Germans are at heart a most “I was half mad,” she said, “or I'd havi re that things didn’t ee happen lik as brown as 2 native. Fortunately the rock quarries to which they were taken were close to the sea. Two years later he had escaped with his original captors, helped by their friends. The low vibrant voice stopped. “Which reminds me,” he went on, “that if a young man, or an ofd one should one day go about inquiring fora young lady named Pat—just Pat — Mostly Pat—he might find himself locked up by a vigilant police eager to protect people from the insane.” : “You are irrepressible!” she laughed. “In books people who have had troubles make it a business and a duty to gloom about them all the time.” “And in life they make it a busi- ness and a duty to forget them as much of the time as possible. But don’t try to turn me aside. I insist —your police identification, s'il ” She told him her last name, giv- ‘ing as her permanent address the plantation, R.F.D. “But won’t you come over tomorrow and meet Dadums?” “I think I'll move over,” he chuckled. “T feel the call of civi- lization.” He was looking down into her face and she saw again that strange hunger... . The sharp sweetness of that moment in his tent flooded her memory. “It must be after one o'clock,” she said hastily. “What difference does that make, really? Don’t you know I love you, Pat? I want you to be my wife.” He caught her hands. “I know it seems hasty. But I feel that we have known each other very long, that you have belonged to me, I have belonged te you, always, I wanted to take you in my arms yesterday, terribly... . I thought you too wanted...” Something clicked in her heart like the opening of a door and an- other man came out of the mist that had enshrouded him. Sharply. As if flashed on a screen, A big man with merry blue eyes and fair hair that had little crinkles in it. She sat up like one awakened from sleep, the lethargy that had suc- ceeded her emotional storm wiped our. The memory of Jimmie’s arms, Jimmie’s lips, flooded her being. ‘What was she doing out here with a strange man while every nerve in that in her cried out in demand for an- other? What malicious spell had drugged her senses into a false peace? Last night when she might have been saved from the torment of awakening, this man had stayed away. Now, too late, he had come. She covered her face with her hands. “Oh, if only you had! I did want you to—then. It was the first time in my life I’d ever wanted a man to take me in his arms and— kiss me. But you didn’t, and nog it’s too late.” “Too late?” He forcibly drew her hands from her face, held them fast in one of his own. In the other he gently took her chin, turning the small white face toward him, his grave eyes searching. She closed her eyes. Began talk- ing rapidly, breathlessly lest her courage fail her. She told him all that had occurred, beginning with her cousin’s talk, the urgency and haste imposed on her by Pamela, of her hideous and brief engage- ment, not omitting her own hope that he would rescue her. Her face burned as she told him with what care she had dressed, how she had watched the ballroom entrances, expecting every touch on her shoul- der to revea} him, and of her last wild hope that, not knowing her name, he was waiting for her on the beach believing she would come out to him. “I was half mad,” she said, two big tears stealing down her cheeks, “or I'd have known that Gant happen like that in real re.” : “Oh, my darling,” he murmured, catching her in his arms, “No. No.” She struggled to free herself. “I haven't finished, I didn’t love you. I thought so. But I didn’t. It was myself I loved. You rej sented a romantic escape. Oh, give me,” she said as his arms slowly relaxed. “I can’t let you be deceived. I myself was deceived. 1 know it now.” “How do you know?” His voice was harsh. “Because—when you didn’t come, I hid myself in the Palm park, An- other man found me there, weep- ing. He took’me in his arms. He loved me. I was desperate to be loved. He offered me rescue. And I, who hadn’t loved anybody but my- self and Daddy, suddenly loved an- other!” © 1932, by (To Be Coatin: Kine Features Siadicate, Ine
