He suggests that these individuals be warned, prefer- ably by the police, to keep off the Grass and use the sidewalks, this de- spite the fact that it is winter. If the comment seems a little far- fetched and “persnickety” careful examination will demonstrate that it is not. Paths worn through the snow leave their marks when spring comes and the grass starts to grow again. Many a householder who did not know that winter paths logically be- come summer paths has found this out to his sorrow. Under such circumstances, the, ground becomes impacted, the grass 4s worn away to the roots and, when the growing season begins, bare earth takes the place of a lawn which may have cost much time and money. City authorities would do well to instruct persons who have been vio- lating the canons of good citizenship @nd common courtesy to discontinue the practice. The Communist View First to give serious thought to A. C. Townley’s proposal for state- owned factories and to blossom out with formal argument against it are North Dakota’s Communists, ‘This is passing strange since the basis of the entire Communistic idea is public ownership of all facilities for the creation of wealth or material comfort, ‘These gentry mention the imprac- ticability of the scheme and the ob- vious handicaps which it would en- counter if it were attempted, but the most notable part of their statement has to do with the trustworthiness of the men who have supported it. In this they agree with the more eonservative elements of the popula- tion. We have in this case fMlustra- ctent enemies really can agree on a question of public policy.

There are no certainties in this modern world—or, if there are, we haven't found them, Now comes this upsetting of the last scientific constant, to complete the story. It is a fitting symbol of an era that has to figure everything out anew, 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, Worst of the Rackets (Fargo Forum) Of all the “rackets” whereby Gov- ernor Langer is building a political machine and a political war chest, the administration of the North Da- kota beer law under his direction is the most flagrant. Sold to the voters of the state on the basis of heavy revenue income, the beer funds are being dissipated ost as rapidly as they are coming in through the hiring of a horde of unnecessary inspectors, the latter words, by the way, having a rather familiar ring from the last campaign. Not only are the beer and license funds being thrown to the winds—the licensing privilege is being used for thinly veiled blackmail in solicitng advertisements for the North Dakota About a month ago the state beer commssioner, Owen T. Owen, an- nounced the appointment of 20 in- spectors and six deputies—although there is no provision in the beer measure authorizing such action. The appointments, he said, were made be- cause of a flood of complaints of flagrant violations of the beer mea- sure, operation of slot machines, to use revenue stamps. Queried Friday, Mr. Owen said no arrests have been made, no licenses have been revoked. Twenty-six men working thirty days each is slightly more than the equivalent of one man working two years—and not a con- crete result in sight. Of course the “flood of complaints” was merely a straw man set up to justify the placing on the payroll of 26 henchmen for Governor 5 Figuring an average of $300 a month fer salary and traveling expenses, the state beer commissioner's salary and say $2,000 for expense, these items of administration expense in a year would amount to $94,200. Then add in the 26 Pontiac cars bought at full market price of $799 and the total comes to $114,974. Of course, that isn’t the whole bill as there still re- mains office expense, printing of revenue stamps, and what not which will doubtless bring the total at least to $134,000, the amount of income the iene and stamps have produced to te.

I don’t mean that the operator or the person in charge should listen to the advice or suggestions of casual bystanders or official busybodies at the moment of emergency—it is too late then to argue or to change your method. All this ought to be studied out as part of one’s Preparation to serve in such emergen- cies. It belongs in the course of in- structon in first aid. I have explained here many times why the method of artificial respira- tion taught by American Red Cross instructors is wrong. I have chal- lenged the representatives of the or- ganizaton to explain why the method has been modified under the approval of the Red Cross. No one seems to know, or apparently care, who made the change in the method or why. But the American Red Cross instruc- tors follow a different method from that which was devised and given to the world by Sir Edward A. 8. Schafer, the famous Edinburgh physiologist. It is comical to imagine any of the pet medical proteges of the ladies who tule the Red Cross venturing to change the method which Schafer de- vised. Nevertheless some one (I sus- Pect one of the photographers who was making a picture of the thing for the papers was anxious to get the Pretty girl’s face in the picture) some one has made the change, in a quiet way, as Red Cross life saving methods are usually revised, and we shall never discover who or why. If any reader doesn’t understand what we are talking about, I'll send him or her an illustrated booklet “Re- suscitation” on receipt of ten cents in addressed envel- ope. This explains the correct meth- od, and pictures it, as Schafer taught it; it also explains the faulty method taught by Red Cross first aid instruc- tors or “life-saving” instructors, as they purport to be, and shows by dia- tam why the Red Cross version is wrong. Schafer first described his method in England in 1904, and later in America in 1908. In the few years the Red Cross has been prone-pressure artificial respiration I Coubt if the eminent doctors and others responsible have ever mention- ed the name of Schafer as the dis- coverer of the method, They're funny that way.

Curt continued his questioning for a while but learned nothing more of any great importance. The information that it would be several days before the other Klosohees could get there gave him an idea.

At mid-morning he paddled out upon the lake that was old John’s winter home, On the south shore, where a log cabin nestled under the pines, his glistening amphibian was riding at anchor. With a great sigh of relict he dipped his weary paddle and headed for the ship. An exultation lightened his weariness, Time and distance, man’s two old enemies in the vast North, dwindled to nothing when one stepped into a plane. Smash came out of the cabin and caught the prow of the canoe as it nosed ashore, “Hallo, old man! I began to think you wasn’t going to show up at all.” He noticed Curt’s haggard face, tha lines of exhaustion. “From you looks, you just did get here.” “How long’ve you been waiting? Sonya made the Indian hot broth. His party would not need him dur- ing that time. He certainly could put that freedom to good use. For one thing he could keep that rendezvous with Smash; and for another he could find out something about Sonya—who she was, what lay be hind this strange trip of hers. She herself would not tell him, but he believed he could easily enough it the truth by @ roundabout bit of strategy. ' More and more he had become convinced that her trip was some crucial and weighty mission. He had made up his mind to stop his own at a standstill; she was all tangled up in it, and he was hampered by a clumsy party. The quick and clean- cut way of handling the muddigd sit- uation was to find out her drive it through for her, and then go atter Karakhan, Outside the tent he and Paul talked his plans over and agreed on them, “Td better leave now,” 8 shit d Saytez 2 aetit i i : fz wi i g i as ae g i down to the eB eeiii brush im the pass that morning the fight two hours ago—it w: Som °° Sue re i “Three days.” “Have any trouble finding tha place?” “Not a speck, That chart was a beaut.” Out of sympathy for Curt's tiredness, he nobly suppressed all the questions boiling inside of him, “What d'you say—what’s on deck?"

High nougl to clear the ranges, he headed south, As he passed over the first tower ing snow-cap, he glanced down at his partner. With packchute for @ pillow and an arm bent under his head, Curt was dead alseop. It was the stopping of the enginé that roused Curt. He had become s0 accustomed to the throbbing roar through many hours that the sudden silence jarred him wide awake. He sat up, trying to ylace himself, With helmet askew Smash was slumped down ip the pilot’s seat, dog tired, a dilapidated cigarette hanging from his lips. Outside some body was warping the plane along side a pier and making it fast. He slid open @ panel and looked out. It was early dusk.
