Deserves Public Support Every Bismarck resident would do ‘well to give all possible support to ‘the program for the current year adopted by the Association of Com- merce, If carried out successfully it means not only a better city in which to live and rear a family but in- Greased prosperity for all of us. Projects for the beautification of Bismarck merely emphasize a tend- ency which already has been marked. 00|@ man, now that he has passed on, any such bill could get through con- BISMARC representative of the men who have made the railroad industry the mar- | In Conference velous thing it is today. Throughout a long and active life he was on the firing line in the transportation industry. He never became rich and famous as some men have done—possibly men no bet- ter than he—but he did carve a niche for himself as does every man who; fills his appointed place with sincer- ity and credit. His distinctions were the friendships he had won and the respect of his fellows. He merited them and treasured them and many will remember the friendly kindnesses of this railroad veteran. For every man who rises to the top there are thousands who must fill lesser places in the ranks. The way in which they do their work deter- mines the success of the enterprise. Untold millions of unsung heroes go daily about their appointed tasks in @ spirit of loyal cooperation and hon- est service. It is men such as Robert Morris who have contributed to the ad- vancement of all industries and hu- manity as a whole. The Tribune pays tribute to him as a fine Tepresenta- | tive of the thousands of others like) him who have contributed so much} to the advancement and success of| @ great industry. A Praiseworthy Effort Representative John F. Dockweiler of California is planning to introduce} in congress a bill which would elimi- nate political postmasterships and put all first, second and third-class postmasters under civil service. It is more or less doubtful whether ‘There is much room for improve- ment, to be sure, but on the whole Bismarck’s appearance compares fa- vorably with that of any other city ‘anywhere. This, of course, is no rea- son why we should rest on our oars. ‘Under the leadership of our local civic Sress; nevertheless, reforms which would benefit the en- but the politicians, Mr. Dockweiler deserves credit for making the at- tempt. His proposal is ont of those tire public and would hurt no one Taken by and large, the postoffice PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE Tenders a remarkably efficient serv- fee. If the entire organization could be removed from the influence of politicians, however, it would become just that much more efficient. Removing all postoffice jobs from reach of the spoilsmen would be a long step in the right direction. It will be enlightening to see just how congress receives Mr. Dockweller’s organization every resident should redouble his efforts to make his own place attractive. ‘The movement to bring more man- ufacturing enterprises to this area is of vast and far-reaching importance. It affects the welfare of every indi- vidual in the city, no matter what his status, One often hears it said that the By William Brady, M. D.

Address Dr. William Brady, THOSE SO AND SO NOSE CLOS- IN ING RAYS Whenever @ quack pulls one about Association of Commerce is an or- ganization for the business man alone. This is true only in that it 4s the business men who contribute largely to its support. If it succeeds in bringing new industries here, for example, it will broaden the oppor- tunities for employment and benefit persons who never conceived any benefits flowing directly to them from such an organization. With repeal an established fact, Bismarck could use a brewery. There may be technical reasons why such an enterprise might find it a little difficult here, such as the lack of a market in which to purchase barley, but this would not seem insurmount- able and we have other assets not boasted by other North Dakota cities.) Among these {s our location almost in the center of a large area in which no enterprise of this kind now exists and our inexhaustible supply of pure ‘water. A brewery in Bismarck should Prove a profitable enterprise, would keep dollars at home which now are going outside the state, and reduce the cost of this popular beverage. Because they have failed in the Past, efforts to obtain a packing plant for Bismarck should not be egbandoned. In addition to being a major benefit to the city, it would be @ boon to many farmers who would find it a superior marketing Proposal, Mr. Ickes and His Work Funds must be stipulated as the condition.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Leukoderma I understand you have a recipe to remove white spots . . . (W. 8. 8.) Answer—No, I gave only directions for concealing such spots with paint: Mix 1% gounces of powdered zinc oxide and 1% ounces of powdered calamin with a scant tablespoonful of glycerin and a pint of water. Then add drop by drop till you get a-tint to match the normal skin, ichthyol— from 10 to 60 drops of ichthyol may be necessary. Dr. M. H. Cohen of York, Pa., re- Ports a case of vitiligo or leukoderma (white spots) in which the spots about the face again became normally pig- mented after six weeks treatment as follows: The patient painted the spots twice daily with 10 per cent al- coholic solution of oil of bergamot. Ultraviolet light treatment was ap- plied for a few minutes three times a week. 1% grains of gold sodium.thio- sulphate was given intravenously @ week. A Not Every Operator Can Do I heard a physician-surgeon of many years experience say he tried the ambulant treatment of hernia and that several other leading sur- geons had tried it and discarded it before your time, because it caused such severe inflammation and bad af- ter-effects . . . (W.A.J.) Answer—Not every operator is a skilled or learned physician. I don’t know what the eminent surgeons may have attempted. I,do know that in skilled hands the ambulant treatment is giving at least as much satisfaction eee as the radical operation for hernia can give. Giant Hives I wrote you a year ago about giant hives with which I had suffered near- ly five years. I want you to know I took about four boxes of the adrenal gland substance and have not had any hives since. (Mrs, 8. R. DeB.) Answer—Thank you. It is an event to receive such a report when the cor- respondent doesn’t want more ad- vice. I am glad to send any corre- spondent who asks for it advice about hives, ordinary or giant.

It is loose money, and Joose money is inherently demoraliz- ing It gets out of the realm of con- science. It gets into the realm of politics, where conscience is generally amenable, Even when the rule which Mr. Ickes tries to enforce was the general rule government spending was seldom free from percentage politics.

In other words, the provision of a fair amount of water vapor in the air of the heated room saves fuel and is easy on tempers, complexions, furniture, and the comfort of visitors or clients.

Girl We Resent Fag Ban. BY RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 5—The old-fash- foned one day’s rest in seven soon may come to be three days. The working week must be short- ened if everyone is to be employed. And in the higher councils of NRA and other New Deal agencies con- cerned with the problem,, they're talking about a four-day week of 32 Organized labor is demanding a five-day, six-hour-day week of 30 hours. It might compromise on a 35- hour week of five-seven-hour days in Preference to the standard 40-hour week of the NRA codes. But liberal industrialists who have the administration’s ear say they would much prefer to work their em- ployes on the 32-hour basis, because an eight-hour day is more efficient ‘ae. Jess wasteful than a seven-hour On a basis of 48-hour production, a 32-hour week would employ three men every two weeks instead of two, It’s all still in the discussion stage, despite General Johnson’s assertion of the need for shorter hours. John- 4on has made no plan for any definite action, though he presumably will urge shorter hours on the code auth- orities when they gather here late in ary. If he is spurred to a stronger posi- tion, it probably will be through some action by poor old Congress. ROUGH ON RAT CATCHERS It takes a rat, catcher to catch a rat, according to the organized rat catchers, and amateur CWA rat catchers are only doing professional Tat catchers out of their jobs. ‘That’s one of the innumerable jsquawks which make CWA’s life miserable, despite widespread demand that it continue operations. Use of Tat traps, hundreds of thousands of which have been laid by civil work- ers, is condemned roundly. “Tt is utterly ridiculous,” says one ‘complaint from an exterminators’ as- sociation, “to assume that even an inroad might be made through traps. The fact is overlooked that rats are extremely intelligent and successfully will avoid @ trap after one or two have been caught,’ HUGE CIGARET PROFITS Cigaret geetehireeg found ipod among newly artic consumer rep- resentatives here, since the “tobacco cents a thousand. The increase means &n added cigaret rakeoff of $55,000,000 ® year and is permitted under the AAA flue-cured tobacco agreement. Tobacco companies continued to make huge cigaret profits during the depression and their all-time high price of $6.85 a thousand prevailed through 1931, Then the 10-cent cigaret ‘ecame so popular as to force a price of $5.50 through 1932 and 1933, though low prices to farmers and low wages still permitted large profits. Now the price has been boosted to $6.10, a small part of the increase be- ing due to processing tax and NRA costs, Col. Wood Axton, manufacturer of @ dime-a-package brand, his company would absorb the tax and increased cost so that cigarets still might be sold at 10 cents. “In 1931,” he says, “tobacco manu- facturers earned $148,000,000 net and gave the farmers only $69,000,000 for tobacco.
