Wenzel as a member of tthe workemen’s compensation bureau fs, in some respects, one of the worst things he has done during his term @s an executive, That it is a gross injustice to Wen- el is apparent to all who have exam- fined the evidence in the case. The various charges were supported by only the vaguest sort of testimony. ‘There was nothing to prove that) ‘Wenzel had not been an efficient public servant in the post which he had held for more than 10 years; mothing to prove that he was not a careful conservator of the public funds and a fair, if not always tact- ful, administrator. ‘The situation is not cleared in the feast by the governor’s removal or- ger. It merely states that the deci- sion is based on “good and sufficient” grounds in the executive's judgment. ‘There is no explanation as to what, if anything, Wenzel was guilty of. If the governor were careful of what- ever reputation he may have as an exponent of even-handed justice, he would not resort to such indefinite language but would definitely name the charges of which he found Wen- Yel guilty. His failure to do so is a confession that his action was based only on considerations of political ex- pediency. ‘That this expediency is liable to be disastrous to many North Dakotans, most of whom can ill afford to have ® dirty deal imposed on them, is self- evident to anyone who is familiar with the functions of the workmen's compensation bureau. The politically expedient thing Seems to have been to seize control of this organization, levy the usual five per cent on its rather hefty pay- roll and otherwise operate it as a Political rather than a business Proposition. ‘Two classes of citizens will be the Principal sufferers under the situa- tion which inevitably will be created. ‘The first and most tragic group will be the people who, having been in- @apacitated by industrial accident, @re dependent on the bureau for all or part of their support, The second group is composed of the employers who must keep this fund solvent if the disabled are to get the money which already has been allotted to them. Let us see how any attempt to rape the workmen's compensation fund, which now seems in prospect, will Teact on these groups, ‘The first result, in all probability, Will be a loosening of the restrictions which keep persons not injured in industry from becoming beneficiaries. {The fund is not intended to care for ll accident victims but only for those injured in connection with their work, If political pull is going to 1.50 na , Enfluence the acceptance of shady claims, the cost of the insurance will rise even more rapidly than it has §n the last few years and premium gharges will sky-rocket.

That Farm Market How extensive is the potential farm market for manufactured goods will be disclosed by surveys now going forward in 300 counties of the United ‘States where 2,174 women CWA workers are asking farm women to fill out questionnaires showing what they would do in the way of im- Provement if they had a little money to spend. The results are likely to be sur- prising, both in the variety and vol- ume of need uncovered, for it is farm conveniences and the things 20) which make farm life worth ving that have gone by the boards during these depression years, Such is the nature of the farmer and of the farming business that certain items are placed above ma- terial comfort. If it is a question of providing seed or purchasing a new stove to replace the one which should have been discarded these many years, the seed is bought and the old stove is made to do. The law of self- Preservation requires it, for lack of seed means abandonment of hope for the future. In much the same manner, the imperative needs of the farmer's stock must be met before he can de- vote much money to more than the barest necessities of his family. If the money is required to purchase hay in order to carry the cows through the winter, Mrs. Farmer goes without the coat or dress she needs so badly. All of us know this and everyone appreciates the tremendous demand for all kinds of goods which has been dammed up on the farms by the stringency of the times. Now we are to learn what the farmer and his wife think about it. They will speak for themselves, not through politi- clans. The result should be enlight- ening. Pie as a National Dish A nation-wide census of pie-eaters, involving an analysis of 12,000,000 meals, shows that apple pie is the most popular of all American foods. Among pies, apple is the men’s choice in all parts of the country. Women also prefer apple pie in the East, but in the West they show a slight preference for lemon meringue. The pie census, reported by a lead- ing woman’s magazine, indicates that cherry pie is growing rapidly in fa- vor everywhere in America. In fact, cherry is going ahead ao fast that if it continues its present rate of gain, it may be expected to outstrip apple pie in about 65 years. The most popular luncheon menu in America today consists of a sand- wich, a cup of coffee and a piece of pie. The ple industry, however, has suf- fered quite seriously from the depres- sion. Americans eat one-third fewer pies now than they did at prosper- ity's peak. They ate 75 million dol- lars worth of pie in 1929, but only 55 million dollars worth last year. The 20 most popular pies, after apple, cherry and lemon meringue, are: pineapple, mince, pumpkin, cus- tard, raisin, rhubarb, strawberry, cranberry, chocolate, apricot, cocoa- nut, blackberry, raspberry, cream, date, huckleberry, cheese, squash and peach, 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.

This practice has long been common to all Parties and it has not been regarded as vicious, although it certainly is so. The point made by the president is that national Democratic commit- teemen must not practice law for fees before government bureaus.

What Did You Say This New Guy’s Name Was?’ € axe i, é: 7 NY THE DWINDLE BUSINESS In many cases obesity (overweight) is accompanied by anemia and only a few fat folk are as plethoric or fullblooded as they seem to the casual eye. Most obese individuals have low blood pressure. There is a difference between plethora or “too much blood” and high blood pressure, a difference which wiseacres and their quacks fail to consider, much to the sorrow of the former and the profit of the latter. Probably there is more or less CVD (heart and artery degeneration) in all cases of obesity. Just toting the superfluous weight about is an extra Strain on the heart and arteries. In long standing cases there is likely to be some fatty infiltration or fatty de- generation of the heart, which is only @ more advanced stage of myocarditis or slow heart muscle failure. The puffing and blowing of the obese individual is only natural. A healthy, normal individual would puff and blow if he or she had to carry ® forty pound handicap all the time. But the big one’s shortness of breath on mild exertion is in part due to fatty infiltration of the heart. Fatty infiltration does not mean merely @ lot of fat around the heart. That would not seriously impair the efficiency of the heart; it would only interfere with the cooling process. Fatty infiltration means the deposit of fat-droplets from the circulation (from food) in tissues which normal- ly contain none or an excess of such fat droplets in tissues which normal- ly contain a little fat. Fatty infiltra- tion might be called the way of all fleshiness. There are other condi- tions that may account for over- weight, but when you think of obesity think of fatty infiltration. The fav- orite seats of| fatty infiltration are the subcutaneous tissues, the mesen- teries and omentum (the great ab- dominal apron), along the fasciae or tissue partitions between muscles, around the kidneys, and in the liver and the heart. By examining a bit of any such tissue under the microscope we can see the fat droplets between the cells and in the cells, In the cells the fat droplets push the cell nucleus and Protoplasm to one side. Annoying, that is—the nucleus doesn’t like be- ing around that way. But the faithful little cells continue for a time to function as well as they can, until the fat chokes them into sub- mission. Then they hibernate, as does the host. ‘We cannot say precisely where the normal physiological utilization or as- ‘similation of fat ends and abnormal or pathological fatty infiltration be- gins. But we can give some practical hints to those who wish to stay on the right side of the line. That in .|good time. Right here suffice to say that which restricts com- bustion favors fatty infiltration. Let’s not dwell on fatty degenera- tion, Frankly we are not too sure about it. The term implies that the undergoes conversion protoplasm into fat. This slow death occurs in COM GIOIA WAATIS HE SOURCE SCORIWICEL! 2 OF THES QUOTAIION ? PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.
