Ample Warning ‘The head of the Japanese navy \a@sures the Japanese parliament that in two more years the effective strength of the Japanese navy will outrank that of the American navy. On the same day, congress consid- efs a naval construction measure ‘which would give this country a fleet, ‘superior in hitting power to the fam- ous fleet of 1919, when new ships from the wartime building program just had gone into service. And a former Japanese cabinet ‘minister bluntly warns his fellow countrymen that if naval programs are to be dictated by the admirals of the two countries, an unbridled arma- ment race will be inevitable and war ‘will be highly probable. All of which emphasizes the way in ‘which the relations between this na- far greater number gets maimed. But when bad weather comes, 80 that it’s hard to stop a car suddenly, and the footing is uncertain—well, then we get wise to oufselves and stop taking chances, and, as a result, accidents diminish, If we could take the trouble to be a8 careful when conditions are favor- able as we are when they are unfa- vorable, our auto traffic toll would cease to be a national scandal. Fatal Relics of War Mines put into the sea during the World war still are afloat. A Finnish steamer recently found one in the Baltic sea and had it destroyed. Since the war one Swedish naval officer has found and destroyed more than 380 drifting mines—hideous engines of death, waiting to slip into the paths of unsuspecting ship captains, ‘That such hazards still exist on the high seas ts rather shocking to one’s sense of security. But when you stop to think about it, the wonder is that there are not more of them around to cause tragedies, Mines were tossed into the water in an indescribably prodigal manner during the war. When the armistice arrived, the allied navies spent months picking them up; but in the very nature of things it was inevitable that they should miss a great many. ‘The world really is very lucky that these derelict mines have not proved a far greater hazard to post-war ocean traffic. Capitol Commission Asks Security Bids The board of state capitol commis- sioners has advertised for bids on $352,000 five-per-cent state capitol building fund certificates, F. L, An- ders, secretary, said Thursday. The bids will be opened February 26. ‘This issue will bring to $752,000 the amount of bonds offered for sale by the commission. Prospective bidders were advised that the bonds to be sold will not be issued all as one time, but will be is- sued in partial amounts to the suc- cessful bidder by the board from time tion and Japan have drifted into the danger zone. Not in years has the Prospect of war been discussed so openly. Not since the Washington conference has the navy building race been carried on in such grim earnest. ‘The ordinary American, who finds it hard to think of a good reason why hhe should send his boy halfway around the world to die fighting a nation which lies on the other side of the Pacific, is apt to grow a trifle netvous as he contemplates this situ- ation. Yet it may be that the horizon is not as dark as it seems. All this talk of war, ominous as it sounds, at least brings the problem out into the open and forces it on our attention. We at least are get- ting plenty of warning that there is trouble ahead. ‘We are not likely to repeat Europe's tragic mistake of 1914—when, as New- ton D. Baker once remarked, the world went to war in a fit of absent- mindedness. Our task right now is to survey the situation thoroughly, to know the worst, and to lay our plans accord- ingly. That such plans must include maintenance of an adequate fleet goes without saying. But that can- not be the only item on the program. ‘The difficulties between the two! mations must be examined carefully, ‘and peaceful ways of settling them must be sought. ‘We are being warned in plenty of time. It ought not to be impossible for us to profit by the warning, Watch Your Driving on Fair Days, Too One of the queerest things about automobile traffic is the fact that whenever there is a spell of nasty winter weather, which coats the streets with ‘ce and makes driving extra-hazardous, one is almost cer- tain to find the accident rate drop- ping abruptly. One good-sized city gave a graphic illustration of this last month. Its police traffic department is un- der-manned, and it does not ordi- narily keep its traffic situation very well under control. Since the start of the year, fatal automobile acci- dents had been occurring at the rate of about one a day. Then came & violent cold spell. The streets were icy, treacherous; snow, flurries filled the air, cutting down the vision of drivers and pedestrians alike, and adding an extra risk to the situation. And immediately the city’s accident rate dropped to an astoundingly low point. Instead of killing someone every day, its motorists killed no one at all—until the storm had passed and traffic conditions became safer. In this startling reversal of logic, there is @ neat little moral for motor- iste all over the country. Tt i pretty clear proof that auto accidents do not come from dangers inherent in the flow of traffic. They to time as funds become necessary to pay the contractors for material fur- nished and labor performed to com- plete the construction of the building. No bid for less than par can be ac- cepted, Anders said. Proposals for 331 square yards of, carpeting and padding in the new capitol will be received by the board the same day, Anders said, Areas to be covered are the gover- nor’s room, chief justice’s chamber and four justice’s chambers, secre- tary’s office, and two conference rooms, The maximum price per yard sub- mitted by the bidders for carpet and padding must not exceed five dollars per yard, the advertisement for car- peting stated. Plays 500 Games for Canadien Pucksters New York, Feb. 8.—(#)—Big league hockey pays its tribute to one of its greatest and most consistent players up at Montreal Thursday night when Aurel Joliat, the midget left-winger, plays his 500th game in the brilliant tri-color uniform of the Montreal Canadiens against the Maroons. ‘The other games also may produce plenty of action as the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks meet at Chicago to fight it out for second place in the American division and the New York Americans entertain the high-flying Toronto Maple Leafs. De- troit and Chicago are separated by | only three points behind the New York Rangers. The Americans are five points out of & playoff position if the Canadian division and need every point they can get. Early in the season they took two bad drubbings from the Leafs but in their mid-January comeback they supra the pace setters with two ties. Hearing Dates Set On Bus Applications Hearing on six applications for per- mission to provide motor freight serv- ice in North Dakota have been set for this month by the state railroad com- mission. Three hearings will be held at Dick- inson, on the application of Domenick ‘Welsgerber, Dickinson, Feb. 13; and the applications of Ray Anderson, ssi. and Al Redmond, Belfield, 4. The other hearings will be at Bis- marck Feb.23 on applications of Harvey Cheeseborough, 8t. Paul; W. J. Vier- egge Sales company, Sparta, Wis.; and Jager and Blankenship, Wolf Point, Mont. Cancellation of a hearing on the application of G. L. Stucker of Ellen- dale set for Bismarck Feb. 23 was an- nounced and a new date set for Feb. 16 at Jamestown. M’Donald Given Job By Workmen’s Bureau A safety program has been inaugu- rated by the North Dakota workmen's compensation bureau, with State Senator 8. 8. McDonald, Bismarck, in charge of the work. McDonald is a former member of the compensation bureau. Accidents have been on the in- crease, members of the bureau said, and McDonald's work will be devoted to @ drive against carelessness among industrial workers, The bureau called attention to the fact that compensa- tlon payments last year were more than the premium income and that accidents must be decreased to avoid substantially higher insurance rates. Death claims in 1933 numbered 29, while the previous year there were 17.

SOFT SPOTS AND OTHER SHORT- COMINGS OF BABIES letter from some amateur mother who has discovered a soft spot in the baby’s head and is all worked up over it. Or if the baby’s head doesn’t seem too soft in spots it is not quite symmetrical, she finds. Tn case any one should contemplate having @ baby it may be well to have it clearly understood by all concerned that they are seldom entirely flaw- less nowadays. When we were babies it was different. But somehow they dont seem to make ’em so good any more. We can't blame it on quantity production either. With razors, now, the more they make the worse they are; razors or razor blades are made to sell, not to serve. But with babies, the scarcer they grow the more flaws folks seem to find in them. For instance, virtually all babies come with a couple of soft spots in the head. The front one, right on top of the head, is an inch or more in diameter, and even if the baby gets gocd fresh milk, cod liver oil, fresh; fruit juice, banana, puree of peas, beans or spinach, raw apple sauce and everything, the soft spot does not, harden with bone until the 16th or 17th month of age. The other soft spot is at the back of the head, but this one is less alarming, being smaller and in a less noticeable place. Besides it general- ly fills with bone by the end of the second month. The usual cause of delayed closure of the soft spot (called fontanel) is rickets. The best preventive against rickets is nursing your own baby. If incapable of doing that, then at least see to it that the baby gets pure fresh raw milk—a grade that your own physician or your local health officer approves. If you can afford it, Cer- tified silk is the best for any baby. If you are so situated that you can keep a goat, there is nothing better than goat's milk for a baby or for any one else, provided the goat gets a reasonable amount of fresh fodder. If you are compelled to feed the baby pasteurized milk, at least you can see that the baby has a daily ration of fresh fruit juice to furnish the Vita- min C, which prevents scurvy, and which is destroyed by the heating of milx as in pasteurization. Every infant raised on the bottle should have a small dose of cod liver: oil or halibut liver oil daily from the end of the first month to the end of the first yenr. Only @ few drops at first, but up to @ teaspoonful a day after the firs, few weeks. The cod liver oil or other fish oil is not nec- essary after the baby is a year old, unless there 1s scmething the matter and the doctor specifically prescribes it, By that time the baby is taking sufficient other food, particularly Scarcely a week passes without &/-- + closely clipped draws more than its share of nourishment from the blood (R. 8. M.) Answer—Cutting, clipping or shav- ing the hair makes no difference in the amount of nourishment it re- ceives or in the rate or vigor of growth. Send stamped addressed en- velope for instructions on Care of the Hair and treatment of dandruff. Apple Sauce In one of your articles you said Powdered apple is fine for babies with intestinal trouble. Where can we picennte Powdered apple? (Mrs. W. 2) Answer—Don't. Just grate some fresh apple, raw, into apple sauce and give that to the baby or to the adult with any acute or chronic diarrhea, nutritional disturbance, gastro-enter- itis, or dysentery. Adults may take from one to three pounds of grated ripe raw peeled apple daily. An in- fant may have a spoonful or so. Corn or Callus Answering several requests: The remedy for corn or callus is a daily painting with a solution of 30 grains of salicylic acid in one-half ounce of flexible collodion, (Copyright, 1934, John F. Dille Co.) Gamble Store Men See Expansion Era A program of expansion for Gamble stores in the northwest was one of the Principal items of business at the con- vention of dealers held recently at Grand Forks, according to Clifford Palmer, manager of the local branch, who attended the convention. “There are now approximately 600 'northwest”, Palmer sald, Gamble stores and agencies in the on a 1 | ‘and by the lend of 1934 we expect the numbef to be close to 1000.” Gamble stores have been very active in the fight against price-fixing codes for the retail tire industry, Palmer said. To protect their tire customer the chain store sent representatives to Washington to combat codes that contained price- clauses. Monopolies Attacked In Speech by Borah Washington, Feb. 8—()}—An asser- vion that the “monopolies and com- bines which operate under the NRA” are robbing the recovery program of force through boosting prices unduly high was on record Tht from Senator Borah, Idaho, Republican. Declaring the average citizen “must be treated as more than an economic cog in a vast machine,” Borah renew- ed a fight for full restoration of the anti-trust laws under the NRA with a statement that prices now charged hy industry constitute “legalized rob- bery.” The Idahoan in a radio address Wednesday night, contended that if small businesses and consumers were not protected from the “rapacious charges of combines and monopolies” the recover} program as = whole would fail. Say State Leads in Building Post Roads North Dakota leads the nation in construction of rural post roads, ac- cording to a report of the U. 8. de- partment of agriculture for January.

Cash butter gained one cent a pound in active dealings with bids reported unfilled at the prevailing Prices. Good 92 score butter, a stan- Gard grade, sold at 25 cents a pound. Futures closed % cent higher than ‘Wednesday, but at one stage were higher. Profit-taking on the bulges wiped out a portion of the gains. Withdrawals heavier than last year with production reported 14.7 per cent less than at this time last year were the chief bullish factors. Eggs were firm, futures gaining % to % cent a dozen. The April deliv- ery hit a new high for the season at 18 cents and October, also at a new high, at 20%.
