Boys and Guns Protesting that the birds which frequent her trees were in danger, a Bismarck woman asks The Tribune to call attention to the large number of boys who, armed with rifles, are enjoying the Easter vacation by a lit- tle promiscuous shooting. Her idea was that @ newspaper might be able to do something about it, In that she is wrong. Any correc- tion of abuses which may arise in the situation suggested must come from the parents of the boys rather than from any outside agency. Children can hardly be expected to give atten- tion to public reprimands, vicariously administered. It is possible, however, to call the situation to the attention of the pub- lic and to suggest, as @ matter of common sense, that every parent who gives his son such a toy take time to instruct him in its care and use. For a rifle in the hands of a boy is ‘a8 dangerous as an automobile tn the hands of a drunken man. Many of the accidents with which all of us are too familiar are due to careless- mess on the part of a boy which may be traced directly to carelessness on the part of his parents. One of the favorite pastimes of boys is to play with toy weapons, point them at playmates and snap the trigger, usually to the accompani- ment of some blood-curdling threat. Therein, perhaps, lies the basis for the numerous deaths which are ex- plained, after tragedy strikes, by the lament, “I didn’t know it was loaded.” It is a perfectty natural thing for anyone handling a weapon to point it at something. Only by so doing can one get its “feel.” In view of this universal tendency it would be just as well to teach youngsters to point weapons at inanimate objects. But the woman who called the matter to attention feared for the safety of the birds which inhabit her trees. She has fed them all winter and enjoys their sprightly, company, ‘as who doesn’t, and dislikes the idea of having them serve as targets for our local representatives of young America. This, too, is something which might well be discussed in the intimacy of the family circle. We have too few birds in this region to permit their slaughter, even though they may make excellent targets upon which to practice. Robbing the Dead One of the queerest things to come to public notice recently is the fact that the trophy case at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington jhas been robbed of the medals pre- tented to the memory of the man who lies within the great marble sarcophagus, ‘They consisted largely of decora- é f AE 2 i if q ak? af H tf i gS ~ | i ne E i i How Politicians Work d jobs Beckon Z Hi E E ge ge i i t i tE gif i j At LD Hl 5 ; E e E 5 i g 2 i { HE [ i F i / THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1934 in the HOLC law, guaranteeing the $2,000,000,000 in bonds which the cor- poration may issue to protect hard- pressed home owners. Before the bill got by, Senator Nor- tis of Nebraska tacked on an amend- ment which would prohibit political considerations from playing any part in the choice of employes for this corporation, The senate, after much prayer, fasting and beating of breasts, adopt- ed this amendment by the margin of just one vote. Then the bill went to the house, where the banking com- mittee immediately struck out the ‘amendment. Now there simply is not any ques- tion about the rights and wrongs of this amendment. A corporation that can issue two billions in bonds to home owners can do a very great work, if it be directed properly; and it can accomplish an uncommon amount of very ugly phenagling if its personnel happens to be made up of Political hacks, Why, then, did the amendment have such rough sledding? The an- swer is plain as a pikestaff. Con- gressmen need to be able to pass out jobs to their henchmen to make their reelection easier. This corporation offers many new jobs; from the po- litical viewpoint, it would be insane to pass up this chance for party profit. The federal government has taken on many more activities than it ever indulged in before. These activities touch us all very closely; they affect our wages, our jobs, the prices we pay for necessities, the conditions under which we work, the homes we live in. It is of the highest importance that they be conducted as efficiently as is humanly possible. If the politicians at Washington can see in the whole business nothing but a fine new chance to lay their paws on jobs for deserving Democrats, the whole business sooner or later is going to come down about our ears. Another Hopeful Sign A sign of the changing times is to be discerned in the news from Lon- don that the grounds of the famous Hurlingham and Ranelagh polo clubs may be taken over by the London county council and used for housing projects. ‘These clubs, most famous polo or- ganizations in the British empire, maintain playing fields on the edges lof very populous districts. All around them London dwellers live in close quarters, stifled as all inhabitants of congested city districts are stifled for want of room. And here are these two green oases, dedicated to the game which is the pastime par excellence of the aris- tocracy. To require the polo clubs to find playing space farther out would only ‘be common sense. Nevertheless, the fact that the British authorities are actually ready to lay impious hands on the favored recreation of the aris- tocracy is a significant sign of the changing times.

Students Who Borrow (New York Times) ‘The report of a certain foundation which has outstanding contracts with students in more than a hundred col- leges, involving almost $1,000,000, fur- nishes an interesting index of under- graduate financial responsibility. The average college young man or woman who enjoys such loans would probably resent the title which Henrietta Rip- r has given her article in the April Atlantic—“The Kept Student.” He is like any borrower, except that no “collateral is given or asked.” He is “kept” in no belittling sense. His credit is also group credit, which he feels an obligation even beyond the Personal to maintain. The article discloses marked racial traits within the general group, but it is gratifying to note that the average American undergraduate makes a . “He exhibits the records show very little difference between the performance of men in paying debts and that of women. “The war made thousands of ladies into ‘women, and the depression carred on No figures are given concerning stu- dents who go into business, but among professional men it is found that en- +!gineers are the best pay.

A NICE COOL WASHINGTON LADY ‘Writing from Washington, D. C., in February, the lady says: T’ve taken sun baths whenever it was possible ever since you wrote about them two years ago. and I haven't had cri since I be- gan sun bathing. All my life I've suffered in more or less severity from September until May, I think it is remarkable for one who had no immunity to build up im- munity on about five hours sun- shine a week. The hours spent in absorbing the ultraviolet need not be idle ones. I always have sewing or letter writing to do when I'm tak- «ing a sun bath: I'm taking one now. The temperature outside is 20 degrees, but out of the wind the sun is wonderfully bright and warm and as I sit here in it, un- der my open window, I'm perspir- ing! I wish I had known the value of sunshine 10 years ago, for con- tinued “colds—as I called them before I learned about cri—have greatly impaired my hearing ... There is reason to believe that in- fluence of the ultraviolet rays of sun- light on the naked skin enables the body to store up something akin to Vitamin D and perhaps Vitamin A—' if these are not one and the same thing. And there is reason to believe these vitamins are essential in the development and maintenance of nor- mal immunity against respiratory in- fections. For years I have been teaching that, the less clothing or covering anybody wears or uses at any time or in any circumstance, with due regard for per- scnal comfort, the better for health. The old fogies in medicine, public health and science have unanimously rejected this teaching as one of my Strange notions. But the growth of nudism, or near-nudism, is evidence, I think, that my notion is not so Strange or unscientific as some of my colleagues or competitors in health promotion would have the un- thinking public believe. Note that this nice cool sensible and comparatively healthy Washing- ton lady takes her sunbath in or un- der an open window when the tem- Perature outdoors is 12 below freez- ing. In various institutions throughout the world, notably the Roller hospi- tal in Switzerland and the Adam Memorial Hospital at Perrysburg, N. Y., children with ‘various forms of tuberculosis take their sun baths naked all winter, play in the snow “| Wearing only shoes and breechcloth, or lie or sit in the sun uncovered, yet their fine tanned skin feels warm to your touch and they themselves feel perfectly comfortable.

Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington, March 27.—It's just a toss-up whether the professional Re- publicans in congress who ruled so arrogantly in the days of Coolidge and Hoover were any more odious to cor- respondents here than are the pro- eae Democrats in congress to- ‘y. Perhaps the present crop of legis- lators is less smug, unctuous, self-righteous than the unlamented G. O. P. group. But their greed for », their blind iP, and their pitifully mean tactics rival those of the Republicans after the landslide. Respect of gorrespondents in the seething capital therefore is reserved for the progressives on Capitol Hill— regardless of party. xe ke The progressives are the one group who do not conceive it their duty to support the administration on any and all issues, regardless of merits of the question, ‘They defend or criticize the admin- istration in accordance with their own individualistic ideas at the time— ideas which they insist are based on the best interests of the great mass of people. And when we toss bouquets at this fighting bloc, it naturally brings us around to the most “battlesome” of them all—Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska—and his latest victory over the spoilsmen. Tt was @ spectacular and unprece- dented feat when the silverhaired Nebraskan persuaded the overwhelm- ingly Democratic senate to vote that all agents and employes of the Home Owners’ Loan corporation be chosen and | test. might be very bad or very good. “* & Norris was red-hot, He told Harri- son afterward that the latter need ask no more favors from him. To ® Democratic progressive who had failed him, he said in the cloak- room: “<——, I never expected see you come to that.” To the reply that the vote wasn’t important, he countered: “Like hell! It was fundamental!” Norris, who believes federal jobs should always be handled’ on non- partisan basis, felt that the HOLC was a business organization with the homes of poor people which, more than any other federal agency, sould be divorced from politics. Strangely enough, one Democrat after another, arising to defend their party’s right to HOLC ple, sang of admiration for Norris des- Pite their intention of voting against "THE LOVE WOLES SON’ George Washinate, ag Jefferson, and Abraham Lin- (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.)
