Efforts to get the bill onto the Moor of the house failed when it en- countered the opposition of Demo- cratic leaders and there is little pros- to worry about—but do they really know what privation means? Did they ever get through a winter on cornmeal and bacon, as my parents did repeatedly? “Have they lived through month after month completely isolated, with the nearest neighbor 15 miles ‘away and no way of communication with him in case of need? “They've lost everything—yet they still have their electricity to light their farm and pump their water and’ lighten their laundry work. Their farm machinery has run down—but my parents had no farm machinery at all. “Their auto is a wreck—but at least they have it, and it still runs and it will take them places in a tenth of the time it took my parents to move about. “They're wearing old clothing— but they didn’t have to weave the cloth it was made of, or cut and sew cloth once it was woven.” Now that little comparison be- tween today’s troubles and the every-| day life of our forefathers may be pretty cold comfort for a family that has been hit by the depression. Yet it is something worth thinking about. Bad as times have been—and they have been cruelly bad—it pays to remind ourselves that even the worst that we have today is in many re- spects better than the best that our grandparents had. ‘The obvious reply to that, of course, is that the pioneers could endure hardships because they felt them-| selves to be part of a great move- ment. They were not living for the present, but for the future. They could discount privation, because they saw a richer and happier time pect of any better success in the sen- (ate, where the rules of procedure are not so strict. , The reasons are clear enough. ‘The Frazier bill provides for the ‘refinancing of farm loans at low ‘rates of interest through the issuance of non-interest bearing federal re- serve notes, In short, it provides for inflation on exactly the same basis as though the printing presses were started up| to pay the veterans’ adjusted com- pensation certificates. The effect on our monetary system would be the same. ‘This is clearly in opposition tothe Program of the president, whose moves have been directed toward preservation of the gold standard or, ‘at the most, adoption of a money based on gold and silver. To float a few billions in paper money would be destructive to that scheme. The president clearly does not favor the Frazier bill and this alone is enough to prevent its passage in either or both houses of congress, barring the development of conditions which can- not, now be foreseen. Then, too, there is no denying that the need for such a measure has been materially obviated by the land- loaning program now going forward. Thousands of acres already have been refinanced and on generous terms. The demand for such a de- vice as the Frazier bill is lessening. Soon it may be classed in that in- definite realm of things which might have been if Management Is Important Production credit organizations now being launched in North Dakota have behind them the full flush of enthusiasm and high hopes for anew order. Their sponsors and the farm- ers interested in them will pray for their success. But more than that is necessary 4 they are actually to succeed. The essential thing is sound management, hard work and fundamental honesty in handling the affairs of these or- ganizations, Associations of this same general character are by no means new. Similar set-ups have been made in the past, both for this purpose and for obtaining loans on land, Their history has not, on the whole, been entirely favorable. In too many cases the groups came ‘under the domination of one or more {individuals who used them for self- 4sh ends and, having milked them dry, permitted them to die. In others the managements took exactly the game attitude as that of the big Wa!l Street bankers in the boom preced- ing 1929, It was other people’s money, mot their own, and they did not need to be careful of it. The prospectuses of all these or- ganizations look good on paper and there is no question but what the system can be made to work. In many cases it has operated to the benefit of all participating. In such cases these associations thave been operated as a business, on business principles and without fear or favor. The set-up is important but no more so than the manage- ment. if Vision of Flonsere Is Needed ‘They were talking about the de- Pression, and a young woman told how friends of hers, living on a farm, g Bg EB7i ii ahead of them. | ‘Well, that’s true enough—but can't | we do the same? ‘The finest thing that has happened to us in this last year is the fact that we have had a rebirth of na- tional solidarity.

The vision that sustained the pioneers is coming back to us. A Major Catastrophe North Dakotans, living far from any areas subject to devastating earthquakes, find it difficult to pic- ture the situation which must exist in India as a result of the recent | catastrophe there. | The very slowness with which news on the temblor has become available to the outside world is mute testimony of its severity. All means of communication have been severed by the shock and it was not until aviators had surveyed the territory that the world knew a major disaster had occurred. ‘The best way to spur the imagina- tion to some conception of the situa- tion is to picture Bismarck with prac- tically every home in ruins, hun- dreds imprisoned or dead in the wreckage, great crevasses opening in the ground, and here and there small Geysers spouting mud and water as @ result of natural forces loosed by the tremors. Add to this the fact that India is one of the most thickly populated areas on the entire globe and it be- comes clear that, little as we know about it now, the Indian earthquake is a major disaster and one which affects an untold number of people.

PULMONARY EDEMA 2 Tf you attended the autopsy we per- formed in this column the other day you will remember the subject was a gaunt, taciturn gentleman who had been ailing for four years with stom- ach and liver trouble, colitis and anemia. The final fade out had been by the hypostatic pneumonia or pul- monary edema, according to the green ticket the gentleman wore when he arrived at our laboratory. ‘We explained that hypostatic “pneu- monia” is a misnomer, for the con- ition is not inflammation of the lung at all, but merely congestion, settling of blood in the lowest parts of chest and lungs, from general exhaustion and especially failure of the circula- tion, the heart. This is a common terminal condition in many prolonged illnesses. Indeed, hypostatic conges- tion of the lungs is never accepted as a cause of death; the health auth- orities insist on entering the primary or direct cause of death in the certi- ficate. It seems that one doctor char- acterized the fade out as hypostatic “pneumonia” and another as “pul-/ monary edema.” So the apparent con- flict of medical opinion got the poor gentleman's widow all upset and she | packed up the body and shipped it to this column for pathlogical ex- amination. Or rather she just wrote and told the old duffer who conducts this column all about it, as she un- derstood it, and asked him to tell her what’s what. | No matter whether the terminal con- dition was hypostatic congestion or edema—it carried the gentleman to/| aside from some distress of which he complained, soreness first in the hypogastrium (if you've ever travelled south of the equator) and later in the hypochondrium (which I think I shall leave you to find for your- self—and you may as well notice while you're looking it up that the word, for some inscrutable reason, is pronounced hip-o, while in hypogastrium it is as it should be—just a little catch to make dictionaries sell, I suppose). Anyway hypostatic congestion of the lungs or pulmonary edema is not a bad way to go. In either case the consciousness soon becomes obtunded and the victim does not suffer nor struggle, just drifts off to oblivion. The labored breathing, perhaps in Cheyne-Stokes rhythm or type, per- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Well I hate to admit it, both doctors were right, or near enough so that the difference of terms doesn’t mat- ter. Edema of the lungs means that, as @ consequence.of congestion, serum exudes from the overfilled blood ves- sels into the lung tissue and into the air cells. More or less edema ac- companies hypostatic congestion. The symptoms produced and the signs the doctor elicits by examination, are Practically identical in hypostatic congestion and in pulmonary edema. The primary causes are the same, and treatment is the same, so far as I know. So it is immaterial whether the condition be called pulmonary edema or hypostatic congestion. But we ought to censure the doctor who called it hypostatic “pneumonia.” The implied intent of that is to evade stating the primary cause of death. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dentists Please Listen.

Wins Case Resulting from Auto Collision A verdict of $70 in favor of the Bridgeman-Russell Co. in its action PIONEER RESIDENT OF CITY SUCCUMBS Cancer Proves Fatal to John M. Brown at Vancouver, Wash., Dec. 7 John M. Brown, pioneer resident of Bismarck, died Dec. 7 at his home in Vancouver, Wash., according to infor- against Thomas J. Haggerty and La- vina H. Cook of Bismarck was re- turned by a jury in Burleigh county district court at 6 o'clock Friday eve- ning after an hour's deliberation. The action resulted from an auto- mobile collision in Bismarck last April. The plaintiff had asked damages of $199.99 while the defendants had in- terposed a counter-claim for $2,500. A verdict for the defendant was brought in by another jury in a dam- age case brought by Nick Torzeski against Mrs. Sam Baronuk. The Plaintiff had asked $200, claiming the defendant, slandered him when she accused him of stealing two turkeys. Testimony and deliberation in the case took but a short time. Jurors were A. E. Nelson of Wilton, J. A. DeLong of Baldwin, Henry Solberg of Naughton township, Merrill Lindsey of Regan, Einard Juhala of Wing, Gilbert Haugen, J. L. Clifford, R. A. Russell, Mrs. E. T. Beatt, Mrs. W. E. Perry, William Luke and William mation received from his widow by the Tribune. Brown came here in 1878 and was employed in building the Northern Pacific bridge spanning the Missouri river here. Later he and his brother, Tom Brown, took contracts to build the Northern Pacific railway west of the river. Upon completion of this work he operated a farm in Naughton township until 1897. He was married in 1895 to Miss Elizabeth Kroll, daughter of Charles Kroll of Naughton township. In 1905 he became section’ foreman for the Northern Pacific at Leeds, where he worked until his retirement in 1926. For a time he was a farmer in Louisiana, but in 1929 moved to Van- couver, He leaves his widow and several nieces and nephews, children of Tom Brown. Among these are James Brown and Arthur Brown of Mandan; Mrs. Agnes Felycn of Sabina Brown of Bismarck; Tom Brown and Mrs, R. Reid of Seattle, Wash.; and Miss Zabel, all of Bismarck. Judge McFarland ordered judgment for the plaintiff in the case brought standards of value America should | 5. the F. H. Carpenter Lumber Co. proudly go it alone. This now seems like @ leftover from 1896, when Wil- am J. Bryan was demanding a re- monetization of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, “without waiting for the consent of any nation on earth.” Even the supporters of that attitude ore today aware that we cannot en- tirely divorce our currency and our trade from those of the rest of the world. But what they see is the pros- pect of a bitter international contest. They tell us that the president's gold Policy, as announced on Monday, is almost certain to “lead the two most Powerful world powers into a multi- billion-dollar battle over foreign ex- change.” According to these facile authorities, the two nations are al- ready stripping for the fray and the resulting slaughter is going to be ter- rible to witness. Such foolish talk finds no counte- nance at elther the White House or the Treasury.

E. Wenzel Pointing to figures showing a grad- ual increase in industrial accidents during the last eight years, R. E. ‘Wenzel, member of the North Dakota Workmen's compensation commis- sion Saturday said it is highly essen- tial that the state undertake a definite standardized program for accident prevention, Statistics compiled by the commis- sioner show that accidents per each $100,000 of payroll rose from 7.7 in 1926 when 3,814 industrial mishaps were reported, to 12 per cent in 1932 when 5,260 accidents were reported. He estimated that-the percentage will increase to between 13 and 1§ per cent in 1933, The increase over the seven year Period amounts to 55.8 per cent, Wen- zel said. “The payroll for 1933,” he added, “will show up at less than $40,000,000 so that the accidents per $100,000 of payroll will run anywhere from 13 to 15 per cent. That would represent ‘an increase of more than 70 per cent. “This is a serious showing. It is serious not only from the standpoint of the actual increase shown, but be- cause of the well-known fact that in- creasing accident ratios always pro- duce increasing accident severity. This simply means that, as accidents increase in number per payroll or man-hour exposure, they bring a very definite increase in the proportionate number of serious accidents as com- pared with total accidents. Any study of such a trend, anywhere, demon- strates that accident costs pile up more rapidly with increasing accident ratios.” A statistical showing by Wenzel of accidents by years and percentage per $100,000 of payroll follows: 1926—3,814 acidents; 7.7 per cent; 1927—4,054 accidents, 7.9; 1928— 4,811 accidents, 82; 1929—5,654 accidents, 9.1; 1930—5,868, 9.9; 1931—6,038 ac- cidents, 10.9; 1932—5,532 accidents, 12; 1933—5,260 accidents, estimated 13 to 15 per cent. Abandan Appeal in Gas Larcerfy Action Two Bismarck men Saturday fore- noon abandoned plans for an appeal from their justice court conviction | ‘on a charge of larceny of natural gas/ from the Montana-Dakota Power company. ‘They were Roy R. Mills and Bald- win Van Vleet, operators of the Bis- marck Spring Service Station at 714 Thayer avenue. Counsel for the two men moved for dismissal of the appeal in Burleigh! county district court Saturday morn-) ing and Judge R. G. McFarland of Jamestown granted the motion. The two men were found guilty of the charge last Dec. 18 in a trial be- fore Justice of the Peace H. R.

Beyond it at the lean-to’s glowed the red coals of a fire. Everything else about the place was dark and quiet. Paul motioned at the camp. “No body's there but Karakhan and his four men. Sonya hasn't come yet.” Curt nodded. Yes, thank God, he had got there in time. In spite of their attempt to get Ralph out they had providentially reached the lake ahead of her. To start trouble before Sonya came would’ be gambling with her safety. If one of those four men should break away and take word to the party bringing her, that party would not come on and she would never reach the lake at all. She would be left in the power of Le Noir—and Siam-Klale, He had to hold off till she came. Tenn-Og said there were only three men with her; and three more would not stiffen the fight too much. Not long after they had crept out on the rock, they heard the pack of honey-colored huskies leave the camp and tear up along the land- wash, barking. A little later they noticed a stir and bustle at the lean- to’s. Figures passed in front of the fire, somebody quieted the dogs, the cabin door opened and an Indian was framed for a moment in the shaft of light, “Somebody’s come in,” Curt told Paul “It can’t be Sonya and her party; she'd have gone inside the cabin and we'd have seen her. Let’s slip closer and find out who it is.” Tenn-Og objected. The huskies would be sure to catch the white man ecent and stir up a commotion. He himself would go. He was Kloso- hee; the dogs would pay no atten- tion to him. Curt agreed, and Tenn-Og left. As they watched the campfire and waited for him, Curt looked south in thought across those leagues of dark river and wondered how near Sonya was. ‘ROM the references to Victoria in her letter, he knew that she The piano was invented early in vhe 18th century.

They decided to find some good ambush above the cabin, where they: could sweep the camp with their rifles. They would have the advan-| tage of surprise, and that would help considerably. Paul was to have! the first two shots—at Siam-Klale and LeNoir. With his deadly marks- manship he would probably get them both before the fight really began. If he did, it would be half the battle. “There's one thing,” Curt added, “that I'm going to guard against now. When the rifle talk starts, Karakhan {s dead sure to make a break for the hangar, to get into his plane and get away. I'm going to swim down to that hangar and put his plane out of commission. Then we'll have him.” He stripped off his clothes, slipped into the water, headed out into the lake a short distance, and circled in toward the hangar. He intended to engine, but the ship would not be injured in the least, By keeping the dog he would have a plane himself, to take Sonya and the others out, Maybe two planes, if Karakhan’s Plane had gas enough to divide. ty strokes from the hangar he suddenly heard low guttural voices ahead. It stopped him short, Just in time. In the darkness he could see the outlines of the building but could not locate the men at all except that they were near the plane shed. AT ,were they doing there? Just a casual meeting and chat? For ten mfnutes he treaded water and listened, thinking they would go ay. But they stayed where they were. Submerging himself, he swam closer, came up very cautiously, and raised his eyes above the eurface of the water. He was near enough then to see the men. There were two of them, They were sitting on the ends of the catwalk, one on each side of the hangar entrance, “Hell!” he swore. “Guards— watching the plane!” Reluctantly he backed away and returned to the shelving rock. “It doesn’t matter,” Paul assured him. “He can’t get five steps from the cabin, If he makes a break, so much the better—it’ll merely eave us the trouble of taking him out of this country.” They hurried back to the cove, ate a bit of food from the emergency rations in the plane, and cleaned their guns caretully. Before leaving, Curt gave Smash his final orders. “You're to stay here with the plane and keep under cover. Now, here's what I want you to do.
