Granting that General Hugh John- son and his aides in the recovery ad- ministration have more to do than they reasonably can be expected to accomplish in a limited period, they should lose no time in pushing ahead with their efforts to hold down the cost of living. It, more than any other single thing, threatens the success of the whole national recovery program, for it is the one thing which may cause the public to grow suspicious and lag in its support. of that set was considered more or interests of the producer. It may be hard on the grain brokers, since these of business, but it is infinitely harder on the farmers to have the price of their products controlled by gamblers, In recent days the grain market has been a more or less stagnant af- fair. ‘Phe volume of trading has been tremendously reduced because of increased margin requirements. Gamblers have found the “cut” of brokerage fees too steep to enable them to make any profits. For this the farmer will shed no tears. If it were possible to confine the grain markets to legitimate buy- ers and sellers he would be better off and prices would be more stable. Sooner or Later Few more crushing upsets have been recorded in sport annals than the defeat Saturday of Helen Wills Moody by her sister Californian, Helen Jacobs. In recent years there had grown up the belief that “Little Poker Face,” as Miss Wills was dubbed a decade ago, was unbeatable. Until she lost a set to Dorothy Round in the English championships this year, her prowess had been absolutely un- matchable for several years. The loss less of an accident, due to the deter- mined and almost inspired play of the English girl. Not once in eight years had Helen Jacobs been able to win a set from the world's tennis queen. Admittedly a fine tennis player, she had always fallen victim to the speed and skill and stamina of her great rival. But Saturday it was different. Mrs. Moody suddenly found herself at the end of the trail. The skill still was there but the resiliency was missing. In the crucial test she found that her once-marvelous stamina had ‘There is plenty of work for a strong man with a heavy hand in this task, for it appears an indisputable fact that “chiselers” are attempting to line their own pockets by cheating the codes and, at the same time, using them as an excuse for charg- ing higher prices. Bismarck is not without its exam- ples to prove the truth of this asser- tion. A local merchant recently ordered @ consignment of cotton goods. That was before the NRA code for the tex- tile industry went into effect. The other day the shipment ar- rived and with it came a bill in which the price was boosted substantially with the explanation that the increase was made necessary by the tax on raw cotton and the textile code. There is no way of knowing, of course, but there seems grave doubt that the materials were manufac- tured under the code at all. For- ward-looking textile firms saw the code coming; had their mills work- ing 24 hours a day turning out goods. As soon as the code became effective they slowed down. They had piled up inventories for sale at the new and higher prices. Bearing directly on this point is a, recent report by Secretary of Labor Perkins. It showed that many cot- ton mills were not living up to the minimum wage scales. ‘The net result, it is easy to guess will be trouble all down the line with those who have confused the blue eagle with a chisel-beaked vulture and are seeking opportunities to gyp the public while hiding under its wings. It means trouble for every- one, particularly for the merchant, who may himself be giving every cooperation but who must pass on higher costs to the consumer. It means trouble for the home maker who finds added difficulty in making, the family budget cover the fam- ily’s needs. Unless General Johnson manages to clip the wings of the business vul- tures the whole program will fail for the simple reason that the people, will be unable to support it. Unless the recovery program is translated into terms of higher purchasing power for the public at large, the whole splendid idea must be aban- doned.. The idea that this is another war in which a united nation is needed must not be permitted to inspire memories in the minds of the profi- teers who found the last real war so profitable. It is a war, to be sure, but not the kind of war which can be permitted to produce countless millionaires. Meanwhile, there is no reason to lose confidence now. These things were to be expected, human nature being what it is. There would be teal cause for worry if they had not developed. There is no indication that the recovery administration will be unable to deal with them effec- tively. General Johnson has shown ® marvelous capacity for getting things done and a will to accomplish real results for the people of the na- tion. He may be trusted to find a way of dulling the chisels of the un- fair price lifters. Lowering the Bars In announcing a lifting of the mar- gin requirements on the Chicago board of trade, the rulers of the na- tion’s great grain pits are putting out @ feeler to determine the temper of the national administration toward their great gambling enterprise. If they get away with this reduction the next step probably will be a fur- ther loosening of the requirements until anyone with a ten dollar bill will again be permitted to take a fling “on the market.” - For this reason it is to be hoped that Secretary Wallace will not hesi- ‘tate to crack the whip if, when and as jt seems advisable to protect the failed her. There was no use in go- ing on. It is always like that in any game which requires speed, particularly speed of foot. The legs give out more quickly than any other part of the body and the day finally comes when they no longer can do their share. When it arrives a star fades, though few have suffered such dramatic eclipse as was the case in this tennis contest. Mrs. Moody still is a young woman and may come back, but her cause looks dubious. There is a tradition restrictive rules reduce their volume | ! THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1933 YY) Wy fi! Wi f] Yy Y}, Yy WY) Wh self-addressed envelope is enclosed. REAL HYGIENE IS PLAIN HORSE SENSE Charlatans engaged in the specialty in which they are most skilled—drum- ming up trade—make a great play on “Nature” or “natural methods,” and this appeal admirably fits the men- tality of their customers. If we relied on “Nature” or gave “Nature a chance” that they do not, and few have been able to disprove it. The Weather in Argentina ‘The season is at hand when the farmers will be seriously told that the ups and downs of the grain mar- ket are due largely to weather con- ditions in Argentina, Australia and other countries in the southern hem- isphere. ‘There is no doubt that such things may affect prices here because of their effect on the world supply. Since wheat is a world commodity, a bumper crop in Argentina or Aus- tralia means an increase in total Production and hence a lower price. It is sincerely to be hoped, how- ever, that the grain exchanges will refrain from some of the absurdities which have marked past marketing periods. In some years we have been told on Monday that prices have ad- vanced because of drouth in Argen- tina. On Wednesday they have fallen because heavy rains changed this condition. On Saturday they have risen again because the drouth is} back in full force. Any reasonable view of these re- ports has indicated one of two things. Either they were insulting the intel- ligence of the farmer or the weather in Argentina is a more kaleidoscopic affair than it ever has been in this country. 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. Violating the Code (Chicago Tribune) Picketing the business house of a Milwaukee manufacturer with a ban- ner accusing him of violating the terms of the national recovery act is @ flagrant abuse of the spirit of the act. The picketing was by members of the Amalgamated Garment Workers’ union, and the banner accuses the manufacturer of an offense against the code by locking out workers for joining a union. Reed Brothers, the manufacturers, dispute this. They say a few men were laid off because of midsummer slackness in the industry. As busi- ness improved some of the men were to return to work, they said, and they declare they have no ob- their employes joining a -There are two sides to the contro- versy, and, right or wrong, it is con- trary te American principles for one side to convict the other and, with- out responsibility, impose punish- ment. The manufacturer is deprived of the day in court to which he is entitled. A tribunal was set up under the terms of the act to pass upon charges of violations. It is the duty of this tribunal and not the right of the Picketers to determine whether the Jaw has been violated and what the punishment shall be. Compliance with the code, in the prestnt state of the public mind, has been made synonymous with indus- trial virtue. It is a business asset of which an employer should not be de- prived except by full examination and impartial judgment. If the act is to merit the respect and support it has been given almost universally it must not be made an instrument for the advantage of any special interest or group. An English corporation, West Ham, made a het profit of $7500 last year by collecting waste paper and keeping it separate from other refuse. the race would be extinct ina few generations. It is only because we hhave successfully applied science and art or human ingenuity to the pur- pose of thwarting or restraining the cruel trends of nature that civilization has progressed and the expectation of life has steadily increased as the great scourges that made tragic history in the past have been conquered. The other day a correspondent wrote in about benefit derived from taking a daily spoonful or two of whole raw flaxseeds—cleaned by rinsing with water. The correspondent’s physician had disapproved of the practice, for he had seen cases where the taking of flaxseeds in this way had caused mu- cous colitis. On the other hand I have seen cases where the taking of flaxseeds in this way has apparently corrected mucous colitis. Right here let me explain to any Teader who doesn’t know what mu- cous colitis is, that it is just as well, and to any who thinks he does know what it is, that I have nothing more to tell about it. I do recommend the use of a daily Spoonful or two of flaxseeds for any one who seeks to break the constipa- tion habit. Flaxseeds are not a physic in the sense that pills are, but they provide internal lubrication quite sim- ilar to the effect of the mucus secre- tion in the healthy alimentary tract. If you have some disease or trouble other than the mere habit of consti- pation (this isa habit in most in- stances) I do not advise the use of flaxseeds or any other remedy or treatment—your own physician should advise any remedy, treatment or diet you are to take. Please do not waste Postage or time by writing to ask whether I think it would be all right for one with what have you to try the flaxseeds, If you ask for my cure or treatment for constipation, I haven’t any. On the other hand if you say you have the constipation habit I'll be glad to instruct you how to break the habit. Inclose a dime and a stamped envelop bearing your address and ask for No. 25, Little Lessons in the Ways of Health, “The Constipation Habit.” Too many people whose I. Q. is high enough get their health education in pretty packages.

Well, Mr. Cohan is writing one—although it may only take the form of some new lyrics to his great war ditty, “Over There” . + Incidentally, the original manu- script of the latter song is in the government archives at Washington as one of the treasured “official docu- ments.” The late Leo Feist, music publisher, bought the song outright from Cohan for $25,000, and later gave the manuscript to the government.

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 eamper 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 Pat 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 one Pat really cares for, refuses to give up, and the next day moves to her ho- tel. The contest between Jack and Jimmie for Pat's love is on. Pamela looks on in painfal amazement, realizing she stili loves her hus- band. That night, at the masque- rade, she feigns gaiety though her heart is broken. Pat wishes it were Jack she loved. The younger set ally themselves with Jack, and, in his absence, do their best to keep Pat away from Jimmie. CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Pat, on her side, now sought to outwit them by offering him an opportunity to seek her out before they were up. “I can’t sleep late,” she said one morning in Warren’s think I'll get a horse——” “I’m a ceuntry boy, too, Lady,” eried Jack quickly. “Will you hire! me to be your groom?” Sensing the fury in Warren's himself: “She's the loveliest thing|and fling it to Jack.
