A Blessing to the Blind ‘There are 64,000 men, women, and children in the United States who never have seen a daily newspaper. They are the 64,000 blind whose Teading is limited to books and maga- zines published in braille and whose knowledge of day by day happenings 20}in the world depends on what they are told or what others read to them. A young New Yorker has announced that next fall he will establish a daily newspaper for the blind. The young man himself is blind; has been sight- 00 less since he was 9 years old. With 50 the assistance of charitable organiza~ 00 tions, he continued his schooling, won Member of Audit Bureau Circulation Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. Parents Must Accept Duties to Children Closing of the schools for the sum- mer again brings up the perennial Problem of what to do to keep the children busy. Unfortunately, the matter of keep- ing the youngsters interested in var- ious forms of play during their vaca- tion implies also the thought of relief from the persistency children have to bother their parents while there is nothing in particular to do. This is unfortunate because it is ‘unnecessary. There is no reason why fathers and mothers should not take primary interest in the activities of their children over the day, and at least to help the little ones plan their Play, if they can’t: direct it or even Participate in it. The well-organized school systems of the country, nowadays, pay as much attention to the physical activities of the pupils as to their mental develop- ment. One has been found to have just as profound an effect on the growth of boys and girls as the other. This organized activity which the children have learned to accept as part of their school curriculum, and for the direction of which they are dependent on their teachers, however, breaks off suddenly early in June. And so it is left to the parents to .+ke up for the summer what the schro.s have done the rest of the year. It is no light demand to make upon the older people, to be sure, but it is one that must be met. And it must be met along the same lines to which the children have been accustomed— that of organized activity, directed by someone older than themselves. In other words, the father or the mother, or both, must assume the responsibility of directing the physical development of their boy and girl, a responsibility which they had placed on the shoulders of school teachers for the preceding ten months. When youngsters traipse in and out of the house almost incessantly, asking for this or demanding that, it is a sign that father and mother are negligent in their obligations toward their children. When the children are nervous and unrestrained, it is a sign that they need sane and sensible direction in their play. And while school is out, there is no one else to guide the young ones ex- cept the parents. It is a duty that must be attended to. A Memory We Would Not Want To Revive The American Home has always been @ good deal like the weather. There was a lot of talk about it, but very few ever really did anything ebout it. Sentimental songs about Getting Back to That Tumble-down Shack, and Shanties in Old Shantytown have been extremely popular, though it’s hard to see just what there is that ds really attractive about shacks and shanties. But apparently there was a lot more reality in these songs than there is in most popular songs of the day. A re- Port of the American Public Health Association reveals some startling things about the Great American Home. Only one-sixth of rural homes have Plumbing. Less than one-fourth of the nation’s homes have running water; less than half have electricity. Dr. Haven Emerson, president of the association, points out in addition that many private single dwellings are fire-traps, and that the average American home is wasteful of heat because not properly insulated—and very uncomfortable in summer for the same reason. He adds that many small homes of the south lack the screens in doors and windows that alone will prevent malaria among the occupants. In addition to this, as applied to individ- | that ual homes recent revelations in the | °d' New York City investigations of tene- ment conditions have shown horrible conditions of housing that are dupli- cated to some degree in almost every American city. ‘Thus the huge housing remodeling program of President Roosevelt gains considerable support. Perhaps, if the housing program is successfully carried through, a future generation of song writers will cease to chant of tumbled-down shacks and cabins in the cotton and write some tender lyrics to “That Fireproof, In- scholastic honors and a college de- gree. The proposed newspaper will be published in braille. It will contain advertising as well as news and will be issued five days a week free to 5,000 blind in the middle Atlantic states. Later it is hoped to extend ./this number so that the newspaper will reach blind persons everywhere in the United States and Canada. There is something singularly ap- Pealing about this effort of the blind to aid the blind. To those less handi- capped it brings renewed realization of the thousands of blessings and advantages so commonly accepted as to be forgotten. The young publisher states his ob- ject in establishing the newspaper is to make it possible for the sightless “to take a more active and profitable part in society.” The words may stand as a challenge to those who can see. Still at Odds After “due weighing” of evidence, Dr. F. Scott McBride, general sup- erintendent of the Anti-Saloon Lea- gue of America, finds that repeal has failed deplorably to solve the liquor Problem. After similar “weighing,” the New York State Alcoholic Beverage Board finds that repeal in the Empire state has brought about definite evidence of social, moral, and economic im- provement. Repeal undoubtedly has had its benefits and it also undoubtedly has given rise to some conditions which seem worse than was the case under prohibition. But turning a blind eye to a situa- tion that does not match up with the investigator's personal prejudices, and magnifying everything that does agree with his viewpoint, will not bring the nation any closer to solu- tion of the vexing problem. There is such a thing as temperance in investigation as well as temperance in the use of liquor, and some of the fact finders might employ it in their research, 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, The Primary Nears (The Fargo Forum) In just two weeks North Dakota will go to the polls in its biennial primary election—and it will vote this year at the conclusion of a cam- Paign markedly different from any that has preceded it, a fact traceable liam Langer and his associates, in Progress now for several weeks in the Federal court at Bismarck. Whatever the result of that trial, whatever the verdict, certain it is that the facts there developed will become dominating insofar as determination of the Republican gubernatorial nom- ination is concerned. That trial is due to close within the next few days and there will be ample time to dis- Cuss its several phases prior to the vote, Up to this time all elements engaged within the Republican party have been hindered in their campaign ef- forts because of the tral. The fact that the trial revolves around the five per cent levy upon employees has re- moved that issue from the field of dis- cussion, for most assuredly it would be far from ethical to engage at this time in a campaign centered around that issue. However, the trial has re- sulted in opening the complete record so far as the operations of the five per cent is concerned, and North Dakotans may depend upon some rather fiery discussion once the Federal court completes its work. How the Administration has hand- led the scores of activities that have come under discussion in the past few months will remain important, of course, but after all it is the five per cent deal on which the results of the Primary probably will hinge. That the people of the State have been largely reserving their own judgment of the guilt or innocence of the men accused in the Federal court is clear on the basis of reports that come from many sections. The issue in, court will be determined upon the question of whether or not the jury believes that the several accused men “conspired” to “obstruct” an act of Congress. When the issue comes to the people, in the June primary, the verdict will be determined on the prin- eple of the five per cent assessment, itself, without respect to technicalities naturally enter into a court pro- jure. However, the fact remains that North Dakota is nearing an important primary election verdict—and it is high time that the voters give their attention to the five per cent and other issues involved that we may have a full attendance at the polls on Wednesday, June 27.

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. Letters should be brief and written in ink. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, THE DDDS AND THEIR CRYOPHOBIA Persons who have chronic rhinitis (catarrh to you), whether the trouble is intermittent as in ordinary chronic rhinitis or constant as in hypertrophic rhinitis (enlarged turbinate bodies), and also persons who have chronic sinusitis, react abnormally to every- day enviromental changes which give normal persons no annoyance or dis- comfort. These subjects of chronic trouble in nose or throat emit loud complaints whenever they experience such discomfort or annoyance and tell the world they are “taking more cold.” To all appearances they are well folk, and their fuss about the draft, change of weather or dampness or chilliness does impress the unini- tiated observer. They stuff up and run at the nose or begin coughing, sneezing, hawking or complaining on slight provocation or none at all as it seems to well folk around them, and eventually they impose upon every one the necessity of deferring to their whims about heating, ventilation, clothing and other things in order to avoid dis- tes. I contend it is all wrong to allow the pathological minority to have their way about everything and com- pel the healthy majority to submit to all sorts of unwholesome conditions just because the near-invalids like things that way. They have no more right to take such advantage of fam- ily and friends or associates in work or business than has the bird who procures for himself a soft and easy path through life by practicing nerv- ous imposition. ‘With the aid of a simple headlight ‘and nasal speculum any doctor—any ordinary general practitioner or fam- uy physiclan—can find out for any DDD (demon draft dodger) why he makes himself such a nuisance, why he invariably has the delusion he is “taking cold” if he gets his feet wet or sits in a draft or encounters a sudden change of weather or wind without extra clothing. By such ex- amination the doctor discovers whether the trouble is simple chrorlic rhinitis, enlarged turbinates, sinusitis, polyp, adenoid hyperthorphy, or what- not. Furthermore any good family doc- tor is not only competent to treat such conditions successfully but, in my opinion, can give lasting relief by conservative methods in many cases where the average specialist can only operate. From experience and study of the question I doubt that anybody with normal nose and throat condi- tion, that is, without one or another of the pathological troubles indicat- ed, is sensitive to drafts or sudden changes or everyday exposure. The casual observer seeing a DDD stuff up and begin to sneeze or run at the nose immediately upon impact) of a passing zephyr cannot help being impressed thet there may be some- thing in the poor gink’s claim of susceptibility. But if the casual ob- server will take the trouble, as I have done, to watch the progress of a few such alleged “fresh colds” of instan- taneous development he will find that the beggars invariably forget about the “fresh cold” within an hour. Some of ’em childishly imagine that what- ever emergency measure they try has “broken it up’ or “warded it offi.” Of course that is the bunk. The truth is that the alleged “fresh cold” is not @ new illness at all, but merely & manifestation of the chronic rhinitis or whatever the particular complaint may be.

But my husband cannot see it and insists that he knows he has no disease, therefore needs no examina- tion... (Mrs. M. F.) Answer—In this instance it seems that the gentleman doth protest too much. You should have insisted on; such an examination BEFORE the engagement, surely before the mar- riage. If the man has nothing to conceal why should he decline to humor his wife in a request that is not at all unreasonable? (Copyright, 1934, John F.
