All rights of republication of all o matter herein are also reserved. Answer to a Letter The Tribune prints in this issue a letter from A. F. Kudick, secretary of the Bismarck Unemployed coun- cil, in which he takes exception to a recent editorial. It is always glad to. print bona fide letters on subjects of interest and, even in those cases where public disagreement has seem- ed advisable, it has granted the good faith of the authors. It does so in Mr. Kudick's case. His letter represents a point of view which should be studied by every-| +, one who seeks a clear understanding of the current situation. Latest information from the state: relief director places the number of families receiving aid at 7,000 with five individuals to the family. This means 35,000 persons dependent on the public. The maximum number was 12,648 families in April. At that time approximately 63,000 of North Dakota's 680,000 inhabitants were “on relief.” No one challenges the right of any individual to be on that list. In nor- mal times charity has been doled out only to those who were consid- ered “deserving” by the benefit dis- pensers, the explanation being that some persons prefer begging to sup- Porting themselves by honest labor. It is clear, as Mr. Kudick suggests, that this system cannot be enforced in times when means of earning a living are denied to many who would much prefer to work. * oe OK Yet, there is no disguising the fact that these are bonanza days for the individual who has always begged for a living. Because millions of decent people have been forced into the boat with him, the habitual beggar, acquires a new sense of virtue, even though he is essentially unchanged. In the best of times we have al- ways had a relief list. The records in this county show that some indi- viduals are perpetually upon it. They find their lot improved now because @ turn of fate’s wheel puts them in good company. In normal times, for an individual to be “on the county” is generally considered a disgrace, but even there we find exceptions, Many individu- als who are regarded as well-fixed would find themselves face to face with the wolf if only a short succes- sion of misfortunes beset them. And So, where breadwinners become ill or ather unavoidable circumstances arise, some very excellent people may find themselves “on the county” in even the best of times. It is clear, therefore, that to be receiving relief does not necessarily carry with it any social stigma, Neither need it imply general incom- petency, lack of brains or un-Ameri- can principles. It 1s just as obvious, however, that many on the relief list feel that they have been degraded, carrying with them their former attitude toward People “on relief” and applying it to themselves. This may be a good thing, for this spirit will intensify their efforts to shift for themselves, but it has its disadvantages also. x * * Competent observers say that the Jong relief lists of the present con- stitute the greatest single menace of the depression, not because of the money it costs the federal treasury but because of the effect which con- ditions are exerting upon the mental outlook of many people. Many capable men have acquired an inferiority complex as the result of merciless buffeting. Their un- happy experiences have sapped their initiative and weakened their cour- age. For these reasons they may have trouble regaining their former places in society. Others, we are told, may find it rather pleasant on the relief lists. It is hard to imagine, but some indi- viduals who should know assert it is @ fact. They explain that some per- sons habitually live in misery and squalor and the standard provided by the relief set-up, meager as it is, is better than they are accustomed to in normal times. This may be true, 1 but if so it constitutes an indictment and a sad commentary both upon such individuals and our entire sys- tem of society, The very fact that we have unem- ployed councils here and elsewhere hints that members of such organi- zations are tending to set themselves off from the rest of the.world; to Tegard themselves as a class apart. administration. for them to do so. xe * But when such organizations tend to promote class consciousness, the effect upon both the individual and society as a whole is bad. avoid if it is at all possible to do so, for it constitutes the greatest barrier in the effort to make persons on the list self-supporting individuals. “As @ man thinketh in his heart so is he” is as true of the poor as of the money baron. It seems obvious, therefore, that all of us will benefit when these unem- ployed councils have passed into memory. It is just as obvious that they will not do so until gainful em- ployment can be found for all who are willing to work. The gist of the editorial which drew Mr. Kudick’s comment was that the government is doing well to con- centrate its efforts on the task of keeping any additional persons from being forced on the relief list; that those who have hung on, perhaps on. the ragged edge, now are getting a deserved break. This, apparently, is the policy of the national administration and The Tribune agrees with it wholehearted- ly. Those who are forced to ask for help must be protected, but it also is essential that no more individuals be subjected to the spiritual agonies which Mr. many people have suffered. Kudick’s letter shows In Tune With the Times Announcement from Grand Forks hat tickets for Nodak football games will be cheaper this year is in line with the current trend. It recognizes both the present financial situation and the fact that sports for the rich alone are not likely to prosper. The tendency is the same every- where as a result of sparsely filled stadia throughout the nation last fall. Those who manage the fiscal affairs of-our great universities were forced to the conclusion that it is better to have big crowds at low Prices than small crowds at a mini- mum of $2.50 per seat. There will be few quarter-million- dollar roars go up this fall as even the greatest gridiron teams take the field. The crowds will be there but they will not have paid as much for the privilege as of yore. 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, Five Years After (Minneaoplis Tribune) The fifth anniversary of the sign- ing of the Kellogg-Briand pact passed almost unnoticed yesterday. Those who would have ceremonialized the cecasion must have shrunk at the idea of contrasting the bright hopes of 1928 with the disillusionment of 1933. They could still profess ad- miration, to be sure, for the fine idealism which underlay the pact; but by no stretch of the imagination could they close the gulf which still yawns darkly between promise and fulfillment. A good deal of water has gone over the dam since the Kellogg-Briand treaty was signed and the world, hav- ing renounced war as an instrument of national policy, settled back to the genial contemplation of an era of unbroken peace. The five years, to be sure, have witnessed no plague cf wars, but neither have they wit- nessed a progressive flowering of the spirit of renunciation. The nations which rejected war as an instrument of policy have, for the most part, been greedily storing up the instru- ments of war. They have behaved strangely at the Geneva conference tables. Rather than reduce arma- ments as a practical expr@ssion of their faith that war, at last, had been outlawed, they have been adding to their armaments. They have been rendering lip service to the ideal of the Kellogg-Briand pact, and have been steadily proceeding with their Preparations for war on the un- ashamed assumption that it will not work. The nations which are staggering today under the cruel burden of arm- aments suggest anything but the world which solemnly resolved to out- law war five years ago. The flaunt- ing of the pact in Manchuria, and the breaking out of two wars in South America, have scarcely operated, since 1928, to the bulwark of faith that was badly in need of strengthening. So it can hardly be said that the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Kellogg-Briand treaty was the occasion for much more than mel- ancholy reflections on the difficulty of translating, in this very human and fallible old world, the ideal of peace into the substance of reality. Still, it is probably some consolation that the will to try, in the face of constant disillusionment, is seldom wanting. The police of St. John, N. B., have adopted a courtesy plan for visiting Motorists. In case of traffic law vio- lations, a sticker is pasted on the windshield informing the motorist that he has violated the law and tanking him not to let it happen again. Since the recent opening of the Going-to-the-Sun highway through Glacier National Park, the number of visitors to the park has increased 28 per cent. The United States government pur- chased 12,500 trucks fo" the reforesta- tion army. An average of less than $500 was paid for each truck. In North Carolina truck drivers are not permitted to work more than 14 hours out of 24. And they must have @ one-hour rest period between each seven-hour working period. The San Francisco Bay Airdrome acted as clearing house for more than. 25 per cent of all air express flown in the United States in 1932.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL ABOUT COOTIES A gracious host of Pediculus capitis was found by careful count to have 1,004 guests in her hair. Hers was just a small party. Mrs. Cootie, tickler head of the Pediculus family, lays 300 eggs in 24 hours. The old man just forages around. From egg to egg the life cycle of the louse is approximately 30 days. Nuttall, a bacteriologist on an excursion among higher forms of life, estimated that Mrs. Cootie pre- sents her spouse, if he sticks around long enough, with 2,000 descendants in 16 days, and her daughters bring the total up to 113,000 in 48 days. Hard hoeing, that, for the f.t. comb! A head louse in good training has been observed to climb a hair eight inches in less than two minutes. The primary effect of infestation with head lice is slight prickling or itching of the scalp especially about the temple or occiput. Later the child ritable, anemic and debilitated. You never can trust a louse. It will sham death for hours. It is hard to kill licé by drowning, by starvation or by freezing. Immersion in gasoline for one min- ute is an effective way to kill both lice and their nits or eggs. A louse prefers a clean body, but can if necessary feed on a body smeared with sulphur salves and sim- a dusting powder of washed sulphur on the seams of the clothing does re- pel the varmints. The large pediculi that infest the pubic hair and are commonly dubbed “crabs” bite more viciously and pro- duce more severe itching. Sometimes they infest the hair in the armpits. They produce an eczematous eruption. They are transferred from person to person not only by contact but via bedding, clothing and other materials. The ova, nits or eggs are attached to hairs so close to the skin that it is difficult _to detect them except with alens. Better than the old treatment with mercury ointment is repeated washing with a solution of bichloride of mercury, corrosive sublimate, in water or in alcohol, in the strength of one to five hundred. This is best ap- Plied after a careful washing with warm water and soap, and three suc- cessive applications, daily, should be made, allowing the bichloride solution to dry on. After these three applica- tions calamin lotion may be used to relieve the irritation of the skin. Cal- amin lotion is the familiar lotion used for the relief of all kinds of mild skin inflammation or itching or irritation, and consists of one ounce of powdered calamin, one ounce of powdered zinc oxide, two drams of glycerin and enough lime water to fill @ pint bottle. This is to be shaken up and dabbed on as needed. Where itching is marked sometimes a small quantity of phenol (carbolic acid) is added to the formula, say 1% drams in the pint. The lotion is soothing in sunburn, ivy poisoning and other acute skin irritations. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Goats’ Milk Has goats’ milk any value as a rem- edy in arthritis and stomach trouble?

FLAPPER, Many a cake falls before it getq, in the oven. 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 reseue 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 hérself 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- yomed 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 painful amazement, realizing she still loves her hus- band. Pat leaves the Warrens’ home where she had been since her father’s absence, and returns to the hotel, realizing that Jimmie cannot be romantic with her, as long as she is under his protection. To avoid gossip, Pamela decides to have her house redecorated, so she and Jim- mie also move to the hotel. Pat now openly appropriates Jimmie, but Jack makes it a point to be with them always. Pat plans to ride mornings to give Jimmie the oppor- tunity to be with her alone but, be- fore he can say a word, Jack offers to accompany her. As the days go by, Pat looks forward to her rides with Jack. “ CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Memories of Jimmie and the surging, bewildering tide of primi- tive desire he provoked, would re- cur bricfly, their torment absent, even their sweetness mere phan- toms that would slip away, lost in the quiet and gaiety, the stlence and laughter of this new mysteri- ous world. And looking at Jack, so straight and graceful in the saddle, dark head uplifted and shining, finely, molded profile, eyes adreaming, she “Little Pat, P've hoped so long, it eeems—buat only when we ride away together are you yourself and free,” said Jack. But for. these mornings Patricia felt that she could not have sup- ported the long days of suspense and doubt and fear that tore at her, robbed her of appetite and kept her in a high fever. Each morning became a, new ad- venture in beauty and warmth and quiet peace. Each return a torment of awakening. | Jack never mentioned his love for her. But she saw it in his quiet eyes, felt it in his every move. One day toward the end of the second week, as they started to turn back he put out his ‘hand, caught her bridle and looking at her with grave hurt eyes, said: “Little Pat, I’ve hoped so long, it seems—but only when we ride away together in the mornings are you yourself and free. At other times—oh, I just wanted to say— I shall always love you, Pat. That’s ” would wonder as she had done on|all. ‘that long-ago night of moonlight and_sea and space, what was the mystery of this man that separated him from all others, cloistering him in a world apart into which he could draw one away, wholly unto him- self. What strong quality in him started the mind on fantastic jour- neys, clouding tangible life, setting ugliness and troublings behind a mist, stressing only beauty. He had a way of throwing up his head to laugh silently that delighted her, and she would say to herself: It’s quite true, I need him as much as I do Jimmie. I’m one of those strange women who require two, men to fill their lives. Slowly at first, now rapidly, the sun would rise, painting the heav- ens with incredible hues; where- upon, careless of its own magni: cence, it would presently wash the vast picture away in an overflow of gold, embroidering the landscape with multiple patterns of deep light and shade. And a new and vaster picture would spring into crystal- line life. Now and again the tortuous road would fly off from the sea to plunge through primeval forests, impene- trable, defiant, alluring; forests that would as sharply flatten out into vast reaches of oozy mangrove bogs above which the road ran high like a miniature plateau for miles on end, The road never ceased to sur- prise and ravish her. She never wanted to turn back. If only one could walk perma- nently into this world of prodigal light and beauty, and clese the gate ’ forever Bpen dark reality, He released her bridle and started his horse, and it seemed to her that there was something final in the quiet statement. As if he resigned her and said farewell. Her heart ached for him, And at the same time she was aware of a sharp re- sentment—as if he were deserting her, leaving her to the involved and doubtful fate of a love affair with a married man, For “different” and “right” as her love was, she could not fling herself to its involvements, nor deny the doubtful issue. When Jack spoke again it was about some trivial thing; but there | Darcy ‘was a forced carelessness in his attitude, a flatness in his voice, as if he pretended to forget that any- thing portentous had been said be- tween them, and his pretense mocked him. She saw his face lit by the sun, still and pale and masked, a never - to - be - forgotten. picture aching against the mind. She had wild thoughts of asking him to ride on and on with her till they came to his Eagle's Nest where she might rest forever. Per- haps if she never saw Jimmie again she would never think of him in the tormenting way his nearness evoked. Time started again as they neared the hotel. Cars jing. Rattletrap cars filled with work- men, fine cars filled with golfers and business men, Tourists just arriving. Piles of baggage, roar and throb of cruel credible life. Through the gates at a gallop, hair flying, eyes shining, she dismounted before Jack could reach her side, and was instantly surrounded by s bored rian Flinging the bridle to a page, her hot young eyes began their wretched -..

Come on, Arthor. ...” Off to the pool followed by “the gang”, an old plantation melody ree iterating in her mind: “Come day, go day, Gawd send Sun- day— Den ‘long come ol’ blue Monday.

Git along! Beas Heaben dey’s no blue Mon- y- Neber trouble trouble Till trouble trouble you. Up in Heaben ever’ day Sunday!” . At a small table on that side of the pavilion giving on the sea, but screened from its glare by a blaz- ing bougainvillea vine, Mrs, James Warren sat with her hus- band, her slim hands moving among the tea things. . “Where’s Pat?” asked Warren, breaking in on something his*wife was saying. Pamela felt suffocated. Nausea unspeakable swept her, but she did not lift the veil of her heavy-lidded eyes. “Dressing, I think. Waiter, will you bring us another pot of water?” ( She dropped a slice of lemon in a cup of tea and passed it to Warren, “Zou know I don’t take lemon, Pam,” Warren protested in sur- Prise. She looked up, an indolent smile curving her lips, “I should, after eight years, The fact is, I—wasn’t thinking of what I was doing.” ‘Three weeks had passed since her talk with Pat on the beach—three unbelievable weeks of bleeding hu- miliation and despair. Three weeks in which she had learned with amazement that she knew neither }the reaches of her husband’s heart; nor of her own. ‘To Be by King Fi
