It|1 will be good economy in the long run since the authorities must either make arrangements to get something for the money spent or dole it out, with no visible return, in the form of poor relief, It should not be expected, however, that the government will modify its highway construction specifications to suit the ideas of the folks from Sargent county or anywhere else. If the roads are to be built at all they should be soundly constructed to a 2) decent standard. A gesture at road- 90 | building is not enough. Operating as a handicap on com- plete acceptance by the government of the proposal to modify its rules is the experience of this and other states with township roads, con- structed largely by farmers working out their taxes.

All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. Ballyhoo and Fact The report by O. B. Lund on the affairs of the mill and elevator at Grand Forks, discloses a situation of real importance to the people of North Dakota because it furnishes them with a measuring rod whereby they may gauge the truth of things they have been told in the past, Only s short while ago they were being regaled with stories of how the present management of the mill and elevator had reduced flour prices in the state; how it had forced the big private millers to slash their prices and, in general, of what a wide swath was being cut at Grand Forks. Now the grim truth comes out. Easterners are buying state-made flour cheaper than North Dakotans are buying it. Flour prices were re- duced in North Dakota with a great ballyhoo, Later they were raised without any fanfare of trumpets. There are other items of interest in the report. For example, we are informed that the local elevator at Grand Forks, a branch of the state enterprise, lost money early in the year because it gambled on the wheat. market. It scored a profit in recent months because of the same gam- bling. The question here suggested is whether the state, through its mill and elevator, should engage in such business practices; if it would not be better to play safe, as most elevators do, and hedge accounts in the usual manner. Such practices in the local elevator are relatively unimportant, but if they are extended to the big termi- nal elevator they may easily become disastrous. It is doubtful if the man- agement of this enterprise is as smart as the professional grain trade which sits into this poker game with it. The game may be pleasant and. exciting for the mill managers. They are not playing with their own money. The taxpayer's interest, how- ever, is more acute. It is his shirt which is at stake. Reversion to Barbarism ‘That story from Chicago which told how an infant was held six months as hostage for a hospital bill dem- onstrates how greatly America needs the new social concepts which form the background for the national re- covery movement. In the past the spirit of “dog eat dog” has prevailed because it was the philosophy of the men at the top. To make profits, to advance one’s self, to reach out further and further in the fight for power—and for the money which gives power— were accepted dogmas in our society. Here and there men took the risk of being called weaklings in order to show they knew something about the doctrine of brotherly love, but it was @ dangerous practice. He who tried consistently to be a good neighbor and to show some appreciation of the brotherhood of man was liable to find his progress barred. Unself- ishness never wins the approval of selfish persons. But the philosophy of “it is all right if you can get away with it” ‘was carried rather far in this Chicago case. To keep a child from its father because the latter could not pay a bill was both inhuman and poor business. It was inhuman because no one has a right to separate a child from its parents except for the gravest of reasons. Each child is entitled to parental care and protection. Fathers and mothers have an inalienable right. to the custody and society of their children. To change this order is to violate a higher law than any made by man. And besides, one wonders how long this hospital intended to keep the baby. If the father had not been interested enough to fight for it, the institution might have been left with @ growing problem on its hands, Each Give a Little Every county, in the state will watch with interest the attempt of the. public works advisory board to obtain modifications in specifications for feeder road construction on be- half of Sargent county. If a satis- Yactozy arrangement is reached there, other counties will have the benefit of the concessions and thousands of farmers will have opportunity to work! trates and policemen to learn to drive on the roads, thereby keeping them- selves off the poor relief lists. The humanities of the situation demand that the government make roads represent the expenditure of enough time and money to justify real highways, yet few are what they should be. Men who have studied the subject say one of the handicaps has been in- adequate engineering skill and super- vision. Others hold the opinion that “duty” work of this nature fails to enlist the enthusiasm of the work- er and he does as little as possible, Any reasonable view of the present Situation supports the contention that farmers should be given work on the roads where they are in need and it is feasible to do so. By the same token, those who are given these jobs should strive mightily to make good and give a dollar’s worth Of service for every dollar they re- ceive, If both sides enter into a fair arrangement in this spirit it will work out to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. If Hugh Johnson is giving prizes for freak codes, medals should be awarded for that adopted by the hoboes at a recent convention in Chi- cago and to the three justices at Crown Point, Indiana, who agreed to split up the marriage business of that.

And what a wonderful example the man makes for those who preach the vir- tues of persistence, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, ‘They are published witheut regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, The Oil Code (New York World-Telegram) ‘No code signed by the president Tepresents a more revolutionary cir- cumstance than the oil code, which permits for the first time the na- tional planning and control of this vital natural-resource industry, This industry's undeniable peculi- arities, demonstrated sensationally as courts, militia, and great cpmpanies endeavored and failed to control price and production, have resulted in NRA price-fixing. This was a compromise on the part of the president and Ad- ministrator Johnson, but it demon- strated once more that the govern- ment is actually in partnership with business, not its czar. The oil industry, or rather a large and vocal part of it, argued that while it was willing to assume the increased labor costs, estimated by Some as $300,000,000 annually, it must have in return a guarantee that the prices of crude and refined products would be stabilized. Administrator Johnson, with the president’s back- ing, at first refused. The compromise code is intended, for a 90-day test period, to ration- alize the prices of crude at the well and gasoline at the filling station, with the president empowered to fix at the outset the base gasoline price. To buy or sell gasoline below this base price is declared an unfair trade practice, and prohibited under the code. On its face this appears to be the intelligent compromise between the two extremes of complete price-fix- ing and no price-fixing at all. Care- ful utilization of this power by Presi- dent Roosevelt, in consultation with the NRA committee representing con- sumers, should result in protection to all motorists. But if this price-fixing provision leads to or promotes speculation in oil stocks and upsets their real Val- ues, the president need not utilize the authority granted him. The production control provisions leave within the jurisdiction of the state governments the regulation of output. If these states fail to stay within production quotas recom- mended by the United States gov- ernment, it will then use its author- ity over interstate commerce to force cooperation. This means stabiliza- tion of oil supply; it also means con- servation of oil resources, a para- mount consideration. This code does not impose control from above, from Washington; it Seeks cooperation of the states, As distillers and brewers in pre- Prohibition days controlled corner saloons, so large petroleum refiners have been exercising control of fill- ing stations by the “lease and agen- cy” and “lease and license” methods The legality of these methods is be- fore the federal trade commission for ‘@ ruling, and at least until its de- cision is handed down these meth- ods are prohibited. The oil code is not the imposition of the will of NRA upon the oil in- dustry. . President Roosevelt has not enforced arbitrary ideas willy-nilly ‘on this $12,000,000,000 business, Instead, he and NRA, in consulta- tion with the industry, have set out means for cooperative control.

Moley sailed for the London Conference, those seeing him off got a nice, friendly laugh at the expense of Laurence A. Steinhardt, our new Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Sweden, because Moley, waving farewell to him on the pier, shouted: “Goodbye, Boy!” As a matter of fact, Steinhardt is the “Baby Diplomat” of the Roosevelt administration. He is just 40, but looks about 30 because he is an out- door, well-knit, straight-as-an-arrow man and has buoyant health, a bloom- ing suntan, a merry gleam in his t that we are on the upward path— widely-spaced gray eyes and tremend- ous enthusiasm for swimming, fish- ing, sailing, riding, skiing and other outdoor sports.

Kath- arine Cornell, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Ina Claire, Jane Cowl and Helen Hayes all look just like well-dressed social registerites.

Such conduct on the part of a man in al- Most any field soon puts him on Queer Street. In this instance a physician studied the case and decided that the man had hysteria. Oh, well, we doctors all make mis- takes. Sometimes we operate on them. Sometimes we just bury them quietly. The spells of “hysteria” gradually grew worse. On several occasions the man lost consciousness completely for an hour or two. ‘Then a physician with newfangled ideas took it into his head to give the man a blood sugar test while he was ‘in one of the spells. This showed that the poor fellow's blood sugar was way down to 20 mg., whereas the normal is around 120 m.g. (if you don’t un- derstand the symbols no matter, you understand the numerals). Doctors call such a low blood sugar level “hypoglycemia,” and it spells either grave starvation, complete exhaustion from prolonged or unaccustomed mus- cular work, or just an excessive secre- tion of insulin in the pancreas. In this case it was simple to rule out starvation and overexertion. So then they operated. Might as well go in end see what you find, as long as the patient is right there in the clinic where you can have a scalpel into him in two jerks of a lamb’s tail. Chances are he will be rather pleased at the prospect of having an operation. It will make a great story for him to tell the folks back home. A story he can recite for years, with variations to meet the circumstances. The exploration of this man’s in- terior corroborated the diagnosis of pypoglycemia or hyperinsulinism. The Pancreas ‘was found to be only one- kalf the size of a normal pancreas (abdominal sweetbread) and it showed evidence of chronic inflammation. No Part of the gland was removed, but the capsule was stripped. The patient's blood sugar rose in level the day of the operation and remained slightly ‘below normal thereafter. He was ad- vised to take food regularly between meals and also in the night, and on that regimen he has had little further trouble and has kept at his regular work, but he is gaining weight on the extra nutriment he has to consume to keep his blood sugar level from falling low enough to bring on the spells. There are a great many persons who suffer peculiar spells of weakness, con- fusion, stupor or restlessness several Have received a great deal of good from reading your column these many years.

She’s a Novelist SYNOPSIS Lovely, young Patricia Braith- wait agrees to marry wealthy, middle-aged Harvey Blaine because the father she adores is in financial straits, She hopes, however, that handsome Jack Laurence, a young camper whom she only met once— and the only man she ever wanted to kiss her—will rescue her from Blaine. When Jack fails to appear, she turns, in desperation, to Jim- mie Warren, her Aunt Pamela’s fascinating husband. They become infatuated and Pat breaks her en- gagement, Aunt Pam is suspicious but blames herself for warning Pat that love fades, inferring that her, marriage to Jimmie had failed. Feeling that Pam no longer cares, Jimmie and see no wrong in their “love”. Then Jack appears, but Pat tells him he is too late— the emotion he awakened, blos- somed to love under another’s kiss. Jack, claiming he is the ene Pat really cares for, refuses to give up, and the next day moves to her ho- , tel. Jimmie avoids Pat because her father placed her in Pamela’s and his care, and honor prevents him from making love to her. The con- Pat's love is on, Pamela looks on in ‘ul amazement, realizing she still loves her husband. She notes the guilty look of relief on Jimmie’s face when she tells him’ Pat wants te leave their home and retarn to the hotel. That night at the mas- querade, Pam feigns gaiety though her heart is breaking. Pat’s atten- tion is drawn to the fascinating and retiring Mrs. Brownley, another guest, CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO In a leap of admiration Patricia noticed the perfect beauty of her hands. (One always noticed Mrs. Brownley’s hands at once.) In a) very brief space Patricia noticed many things about the woman, Things seen all at once that first day. Now noted anew and with cu- rious emphasis. Light brown hair. Hazel eyes. A very fair complexion. Face rather square; but softly, femininely so. A fine nose, a mouth a little wide, but very sweet. She was shorter than Patricia and her form, like her face, was rather square. But it was also softly rounded and gave neither the im- pression of stockiness nor flesh.

Someone had taken the trouble to her as The Lady in Sand. Some thought she was a wealthy widow from one of the Southern states; others said she was “kept” by some man, Nobody kmew anything. It was strange, Patricia thought, that she should cause so much specula- tion in a hotel where so many came and went without notice. Certainly she was not flashy, nor obtrusive. Nor even beautiful in the strict sense — merely exquisite, poignant in her calm colorlessness. Patricia thought again of the desert—pale fire; alluring, drawing one by its aloofness and mystety and still, wan charm; softly calling one—to the cruelty and death it harbors. She smiled in self-derision at the absurd flight of her fancy. “I wonder why people surmise so many unkind things about that woman sfnce they don’t know any- thing?” whispered Patricia, “What woman?” inquired Jack. “Why, Mrs. Brownley.” “Don’t know her.” “The woman in sand in the Palm faven’t noticed her.
