Lenhart’s frank and free exposition of Bismarck's status with regard to the NRA emphasizes the tremendous amount of work which must be done in every corner of the land if this social experiment is to work out as planned. Everywhere, probably, there are business houses which have the blue eagle posted in their windows but which have not complied with the terms of the president's agreement. There need be no excitement or hasty action because this condition prevails. The things which employ- ers are asked to do are not easy and the changes cannot be accomplished overnight. Too impetuous treatment of these firms will cause more trouble than if they are given a reasonable time in which to adjust their affairs. But there must be no unnecessary delay. Firms which display the NRA emblem but which ignore the code are doing business under false pre- tenses, They should make every ef- fort to change this situation as quick- ly as possible. It is only fair to their competitors and to persons in other lines of business that they do so. In the absence of voluntary action, there is only one final recourse on the part of the local committee. That is to report violations to the recovery administration and ask that the blue eagle be taken down from the win- dow of the firm which will not play ball. In the present temper of the People, as indicated by response to the consumer solicitation now in pro- gress, removal of the blue eagle may well be a business death warrant. Whatever profits anyone may make by “chiseling” the blue eagle, they will be more than lost if he is held up to public ridicule and scorn by be- ing declared unfair to the recovery program. There has been some insinuation that people should know who is ob- serving the code and patronize only those firms which are admitted to be 80 doing. By inference this calls for & discrimination against the “chisel- ers” even though they have the eagle emblem in their window. ‘This situation must not be permit- ted to come about. If the public is to believe rumor and street-corner charges grave injustice may be done to some firms which actually are do- ing their part. The eagle emblem must mean what it is intended to mean. If it is to become the buying guide of the na- tion. people must be encouraged to have faith in it. They will do so if they know that committees of local citizens are actively at work and that they will not hesitate to recommend action in the event of persistent non- conformance. ‘The local committee is to be com- plimented for the intelligent manner in which it has gone about its work. ‘The movement has been accompanied by a notable lack of hysterical en- thusiasm. On the contrary it has been marked by a cold resolution to see that Bismarck does its part. This is the spirit which gets concrete re- sults. Both the people and the gov- ernment can spare flamboyant de- - Monstrations. What they want is united action in the effort to attain the common goal. A Forgotten Hero of ‘The Lost ause’ In a field flanking the Emmits- 2.50 tle of growing things and the ripple \ot wind to replace the crash of guns and the yells of desperate men—is not that a fate any soldier might jenvy? | And in this transmutation there 1s ;& summing-up of the outcome of all wars in all times and places. The armies come, they trample and stain the soil and fill the world’s cup of | misery to overflowing; and then, at | last. the tide ebbs again, and the wide earth goes back to its business of ;Srowing things, and the bodies of |the forgotten dead are reclaimed by ‘the living soil. Most of their graves are laid out jformally in rows, with headstones jand crosses to mark their place; but @ few, on every battlefield, are quietly hidden away, to drowse out their peaceful eternity in close union with the plants which re-enact, cach spring, the miracle of resurrection. So it was with this lad—a young- ster from Alabama, perhaps, or from Texas or Louisiana or Virginia— whose fate it was to enrich a Pen- nsylvania wheat field for all time with a handful of southern dust. And of all the thousands of young men to whom Gettysburg was the end of the road, it is not hard to feel that this one was the most to be envied. He got the ideal resting place. He gave Pennsylvania, forever, a hallowed bit of Dixie. Why Not Help Them? Organization by a group of unem- Ployed persons of a self-help move- ment shows an initiative which should be encouraged. Bismarck has been scoured pretty clean of old clothes these last few years. Most persons are making their apparel do for longer periods and some have relatives who welcome discarded articles. But here and there is cast-off raiment which these people will be glad to get. With a little work they will be able to make it serviceable. Lacking more gainful employment, they have plenty of op- portunity to explore the full possi- bilities of the situation. The call for school books should strike a sympathetic chord in many hearts and here is a phase in which many persons may be of assistance. The cast-off books of yesteryear still are serviceable but are of no use in the scores of attics or basement storerooms where they were tossed. when their former owners finished with them. It will cost nothing to check them over and notify this self- help group to come and get them. By so doing it is possible to lighten the financial burden on many a father and contribute materially to the education of deserving children. Dangerous Trucks The accident in Indiana in which a lumbering auto truck sideswiped an improvised bus, caused the death of a number of people and then sped off without stopping will hardly strengthen the hands of the truck- men in their perennial dispute with’ the railroads for freight business. It emphasizes, that is to say, the way in which a heavy truck can be @ menac® on the roads. Because of the width of its body, and because of the momentum which its bulk gives it, the truck can create serious traffic hazards on a main highway; and the fact that this particular truck driver chose to run away after) the accident simply calls attention to, the looseness of the control which the public exercises over the truck- ing business. Meditation on these points is likely to create a public sentiment favor- able to the railroads in this argu- short-haul freight business.

OUR UNBIDDEN GUESTS Dilettantes who keep the public in- formed about what “science says”, and not real scientists who are singularly reticent, are fond of predicting that in time insects or other vermin will overcome the human race and an- nihilate us. The first time or two I came across this frightful prophecy I was alarmed. But on reflection I found reassurance in the observation that it was a dilettante and not a real scientist who advanced the idea and that the chap was no doubt sub- sidized by the national association of insect powder manufacturers. Insects and rodents can and do get along well regardless of man and offer ® challenge to man’s supremacy only when they find their share of the world’s food supply withheld by hu- man ingenuity.

Only a few human para- sites, and these are comparatively rare, seriously damage the health of the host.
