It Pays Big Dividends Bismarck Monday will begin the Dbservance of safety week, designed to place this city on the nation’s honor roll as one where popular at- tention to a public question brings good results. By proclamation, Mayor A. P, Len- hart has formally solicited the inter- est of every citizen, asked the co- operation of all in order that the campaign may be successful and that the annual toll of death and injury may be reduced. Because the driving season now is {well upon us and vacation time is just around the corner, the Safety and Courtesy committee of the Bis- marck Association of Commerce has indicated its intention of concentrat- {ng, for the present at least, upon the * problem of traffic safety. Both mo- torists and pedestrians are being so- licited to give their help by doing everything possible to protect both themselves and others from accident end injury. Automobile drivers, par- ticularly, are being asked to rechem- ber that when they sit behind the ‘wheel of a moving vehicle they be- come, automatically, their brother's keeper. Indifference to this obliga- tion may result in tragedy, even though they may themselves commit no offense against the laws govern- ing traffic practices. In recent years a thousand slogans hhave been coined to indicate the Senselessness of certain driving hab- its. Yet the death toll has mounted steadily. Sensible men and women too often become nit-wits when sit- ting behind a steering wheel. Miles of driving without accident lulls many to a false sense of security which is rudely dissipated by an unforeseen mishap. The Tribune is cooperating in the safety campaign and will publish a series of safety articles and remind- ers. The first of these pertains to the care and operation of automo- biles. It is contemplated to keep the matter before the public indefinitely, with other series on safety in the home, at work and at play. This newspaper wishes to do its part in reducing the terrific toll from acci- Gents which has become a disgrace to our nation and an indictment of the intelligence of the American peo- le. We may not be consciously dumb, ut those of us who drive headlong into accident and destruction would hhave trouble in defending charges against our intelligence, at least at the time the accident occurred. Because automobiles figure in so many tragedies, the major effort of eafety week will be directed to the attention of motorists, even though it is admittedly unfair to blame them for, many mishaps in which they may figure. Indifference on the part of @n auto driver may have more seri- us consequences than would indif- ference on the part of the pedestrian, but this fact does not absolve the Pedestrian from exercising due re- gard for his own safety. The reck- Jess walker is just as culpable as the Seckless driver. And so The Tribune joins with the city safety committee in asking every- one to assist in proper observance of this important movement for pro- motion of the public welfare. Tt asks every motorist to examine into his own habits and reform them where necessary. It suggests that they check the condition of their vehicles and 20) closed. grand jury system and its importance in protecting the individual from un- Justified prosecution by the federal government or by federal officers, he made it clear that these men, select- ed from the citizens of the state, were to be the sole judges of whether or not the evidence presented would Justify the filing of a formal charge, Three indictments already have been returned and to that extent the people, as represented by the grand Jury, have spoken. The remainder of the investigation remains to be dis- The manner in which Judge Miller emphasized the relationship of the grand jury to the government and to citizens whose activities are investi- gated, should do much to clear the political atmosphere in this state. He made it plain that politics should not be considered in connection with the matter; that every individual, regard- less of place or position, is entitled to @ square deal and will get it in his court. ‘This is a fundamental of American justice. No matter what his political beliefs, no good citizen can hold ar- Gument against it. For the courts are the last bulwark of individual liberty as well as of public justice and their integrity depends upon that of the people who perform duties in connection with them. If they are to let politics or prejudice sway their actions, that bulwark has crumbled and chaos is just around the corner. In taking stringent action to pre- serve the integrity of his court and insure the persons now under inves- tigation a square deal, Judge Miller acted to protect their interests and that of every other citizen. Unless there is a strong probability that they will be convicted if formally accused and fairly tried, they should not be indicted and put to the ignominy of public accusation and the expense of standing trial.

Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis, or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady if a stamped, self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink, No reply can be ae ike Address Dr. William ANTISEPTICS IN DOMESTIO MEDICINE A high school girl asks whether we breathe through the skin. She said her physiology class had an argument about it. The instructor said we do breathe through the skin. Of course we do not breathe through the skin. But if the physiology in- structor in high school says we do some of the pupils will probably be- lieve it is so. They will go out in the world to become wiseacres. They will make the meanest customers for honest doctors to deal with, but won't they be meat for the quacks and nos- trum mongers? So far as I know or believe, no an-| tiseptic, germicide or disinfectant as| yet discovered is worth a hoot in the treatment of any illness. Antiseptics Perhaps have some value in surgical Gressings, in gargles, mouth washes, sprays, douches or lotions, the chief Purpose being to prevent the spread of infection. Unconscious altruism, the childish faith of the wiseacre laity in antiseptic gargles and the like in the treatment of sore throats and Putative “colds”; unconscious and tronic, or moronic if you ‘prefer. Wiseacre laymen cherish the notion that if you use strong enough anti- septic remedies often enough you can “heal” anything quickly. Of course they have never been apprised that the antiseptic powerful enough to kill or seriously cripple germs is even more Ukely to kill or cripple the delicate young new tissue cells which are es- sential in any healing process. Many laymen harbor a fond fancy, that the regular daily application of an antiseptic gargle, nasal spray or similar remedy will prevent putative “colds,” fly, infantile paralysis, diph- theria, lethargic encephalitis or what- ever the community happens to be excited about. It is questionable whether any such “precaution” is ever effective, and there is some reason to| believe that the constant or frequent the probability of conviction exists, indictments should be returned, for the people are entitled to protection. ‘That is what Judge Miller told the Grand jury, in direct and well-chosen words, and it is the part of good citi- zenship to hope that the 23 men who comprise this body will carry out his instructions to the best of their abil- ity. Judge Miller’s exposition of rumors that attempts had been made to tam- per with and influence the jury and his warning against any future at- tempts to do so, was both timely and in order. It was formal notice that anyone caught doing so could expect short shrift at his hands, for such action would not only constitute a slap in the face for the judge but would poison the springs of justice. Judge Miller knew that charges of “politics” in connection with the matter before the grand jury had been raised in the past and might be raised again. He acted wisely and in the public interest to see that there could be no justification for their repetition, no matter what the grand jury may do.

Same Old Method (Valley City Times-Record) Governor Langer on Saturday ad- dressed a group of 1,000 people at Courtenay, and in the course of his talk told the assembled folks that he had just received two checks from the government totaling nearly $2,500,000, which he was to endorse. He was not quoted as saying anything about what the money was to be used for, but was sion to his hearers that the charges against his administration of misuse of federal funds is not to be taken seriously in view of the fact that the government is still finding it neces- sary to deal with him in the required routine of ‘dispensing the large pay- ments of federal aid now being given out, It is an old and well worn method of politicians, to take a cer- tain set of facts and use only a part of them, carefully excluding those which would reveal emi epparently eager to give the impres- | with removal of the normal mucous secre- as the alight irritation produced by! | the foreign chemical itself, may weak- en the natural defenses and favor invasion of the mucous membrane by disease germs which might otherwise have perished in the ordinary way, by be Letters should be brief and written instructions, queries not conforming to in care of this newspaper. being entangled in the normal mu- a film and destroye@ by the nat- 8.

CHEVROLET HAS NEW STANDARD SIX MODEL Supplements Master Six With World's Lowest Priced Car in Its Field Chevrolet Saturday announced “the world’s lowest priced six-cylinder car,” with the introduction of the new improved 1934 Standard Six models, supplementing the Master Chevrolet models previously presented. ‘The new cars have major improve- ments designed to achieve better per- formance, riding qualities, comfort, and appearance. Both chassis and body have been completely redesigned in keeping with the latest advances in engineering and styling. Roadability, and especially stability, have been enhanced through the adoption of a wider chassis frame and more widely spaced leaf springs front and rear, in conjunction with a longer front axle and increased tread of the front wheels. These chassis improvements have permitted the use of big, roomy bodies having max- imum width and ample leg room. In the power plant, smoothness, economy and flexibility have been improved through a thorough revi- sion of the inlet and exhaust systems, with higher compression, and a re- fined valve and tappet mechanism, including @ redesigned camshaft. The new models share with the Master series such appearance fea- tures as sleek, flowing lines, deep fenders hugging the tires, long hood horizontal louvres, and ateeply inclined radiator grille. Numerous in- terior refinements similarly ‘enhance the style and finish of the passenger compartments, “ Production at the Chevrolet fac- tory during March set a new high mark for the year and shattered all monthly production records for the last 34 months, according to an an- nouncement by M. E. Coyle, president and general manager of the Chevro- let Motor company. Output for the month was 110,266 cars and trucks, the third largest March output in the history of the company, and the largest March pro- duction since 1929. The company entered April with capacity produc- tion, Coyle announced. Wagner, Mergens to Attend Convention Grand Knight J. P.

Kennedy. The allotment will depend, however, upon action taken by congress in providing additional funds for the PWA. Kennedy and irrigation dis- trict officials are quite encouraged by the action alloting funds for prelim- inary work, they said. Two cost estimates, one by army engineers and the other by the bu-/ erhood. reau of reclamation have been pre- pared, Kennedy said Saturday, but the figures are so divergent that no reliable estimate can be made. Un- certainty as to underground condi- tions at the dam site will be cleared up if the money is made available, Kennedy said. REVISION OF NRA FORECAST BY NYE Expresses Belief Roosevelt Will Act When Review Board Reports Cleveland, April 14.—(?)—Senator Gerald P.

Johnson Personally, the senator at another point said: “The regimentation of business by the government through the NRA is nothing other than the ‘old deal’ in high gear. One cannot be unmindful of the unfulfilled promise of reform made by the ‘crack-down artists.’ If the NRA continues under existing leadership and direction. it will carry us to greater economic havoc than we have ever known. All the army of- ficers on the federal payroll are not going to be able to stuff the public much longer with incessant ballyhoo.” “I say these things as one who supported and believes that NRA, un- der wise direction, can accom] great things for America.” Young People Worker Visits Salvation Army Captain G.
