MANN President and Publisher study of accidents in three leading! wet states for the first three months | of 1934 as compared with a similar! period in 1933, Of 38,410 drivers involved in non-| fatal accidents during the 1934 pe-! riod, 691 admittedly had been drink-! ing. In 1933, 35,658 drivers were in- volved in similar accidents and 491 had been drinking. ‘Thus the number of drivers who mn |had been drinking increased 40 per marck.

Dream May Come True Add to the list of men whom his- tory may put down as having ren- dered notable service to the Ameri- can farmer, Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Tree asso- | ciation. Pack fought the battle for con- servation when it looked hopeless.| His was a voice crying in the wilder-| ness of exploitation, Everyone—or| nearly everyone—agreed with his theories but nothing was done to put them into practice, The few who did not agree were those who stood to profit by cutting and selling Amer- ica’s timber in the only way the in- dustry knew. And that way meant complete destruction of our forests. But now the government is consid- ering the planting of a tree belt, reaching from North Dakota to the ‘Texas Panhandle, in an effort to pre-| vent erosion by wind and improve climatic conditions. By order of President Roosevelt $25,000,000 has been allotted to begin| the project which may last a dozen years, Plans to get it under way now are being made. Pack, whose slogan has been “If the nation saves the trees the trees ‘will save the nation,” points out that the immediate result will be the em- ployment of thousands of men living in the drouth section and the expen- diture of millions of dollars in buy- ing land and planting trees. The long-time results, however, should be of inestimable value in preserving the land and increasing its productivity. As envisioned by this conservator, | the tree belt would be 100 miles wide and 1,300 miles long. Fencing re- quired to keep cattle and sheep out of it would total 260,000 miles, sup- Ported on 200,000,000 fence posts. ‘These would be cut in the national forests by CCC crews but the actual Plantings would be done by farmers in the area affected. Six or more great nurseries would provide seed- ling trees for planting, cottonwoods, green ash and similar trees suitable for use in the areas affected. ‘The idea, of course, still is in the embryonic stage. Nothing has been definitely decided except that the government is going to purchase land end this is one thing which could be done with the acreage thus taken out of production, ‘The whole thing is so tremendous as to almost stagger the imagination. Yet there is precedent for it, In France a somewhat similar project ‘was launched 150 years ago, although not on s0 grand a scale, The result has been to convert @ great sandy area into valuable timber lands which mow are being “farmed” by cutting out the big trees for commercial use, planting new ones to take their places. Social Defense In Russia, recently, there was & trial of 29 high soviet officials who were accused of grafting from the state. Most of them were convicted ‘and seven were sentenced to “the highest measure of social defense” which in Russia is death before a firing squad. Commenting on the trial and the fers the following explanation: “The severity of the sentences illustrate the gravity which the thieving and state into private hands. The highest sentence for an ordinary murder is 10 years’ imprisonment: and there are 17 milder grades of gentence for that offense.” In the Anglo-Saxon scheme of things, crimes against the person |¢ss- long have been considered more grave than those against things. The sig- nificant difference as shown by this Russian case lies in the fact that, since the government controls every- a9 | ¥88 only 30 per cent. cent but, since the total number of drivers increased, the actual advance Reduced to other percentages, 1.38 per cent of 00 all drivers reported in accidents in 1933 had been drinking, while in 1934 the ratio was 1.80 per cent. Noting that there obviously is a tendency not to report drinking as a factor in accidents, the council as- sumes that the reporting was about the same in one year.as the other. An interesting fact is that the prevalence of drinking as a factor in traffic accidents rose almost exclu- sively in the towns and cities, the in- crease being as much as 400 per cent. Evidently the city man, with more temptation before him than his coun- try cousin, is just as subject to the ills of the flesh. *Twas Ever Thus As usually is the case, high prices for farm products come when the average farmer is least able to take advantage of them. How true this old axiom is can be demonstrated by a glance at the livestock market and the prospect for the future. The drouth and the government purchasing program are reducing the number of cattle on the farms. Na- ture is wiping out the over-production which long has been a burden and which has made beef too cheap from the producer's standpoint. ‘The result also is a marked lower- ing in the quality of cattle coming to market—and the prospects for im- Provement are poor. At South St. Paul, for example, prime fed steers are quotable at from $9 to $9.50 per 100 pounds but there are no sales, | The reason is no steers of that grade are being offered. Eventually, of course, the reaction will be favorable to the cattle coun- try and there is in sight, within the next year or two, a situation in which everyone may share in the prospec- tive improved situation. At present, however, with the real problem that of maintaining our herds in decent condition, good prices for fat cattle are like a golden apple hanging be- yond reach at the very top of the tree. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show th North Dakota Governor Has Voters Under Spell (Aberdeen (8. D.) American-News) A government is no better than its citizens make it. That's an old maxim and true as it is old, but it is seldom demonstrated any better than it was in North Dako- ta last Wednesday when citizens flocked to the polls to rally to the sup- Port of Governor William Langer who stands convicted of a felony. In nominating the governor as a candidate to succeed himself the citi- zens of North Dakota not only ex- Pressed their approval of radicalism in government but displayed confi- dence in a man the federal court found guilty of unlawfully and un- ethically soliciting funds from federal relief workers—the funds being used in the interests of the Leader, an ad- ministration publication. To a neighbor, viewing the series of dramatic events which have oc- curred under the regime of Governor Langer, it appears that the North Da- kota chief executive is first of all a Politician above a statesman—a poli- tician whose promises of security to all debt-burdened property owners have cast @ spell over the majority of voters. What Governor Langer's program will ultimately result in—what it will do to the future credit of North Da- kota—apparently does not concern the voters of the state. What does ap- parently influence them is the eter- nal promise of security during his reign. To the farmers he impressive- ly and convincingly outlines the mer- its of the state debt moratorium which will permit every property owner to keep his belongings regardless of debts, as long, he declares, “as I am governor of this state.” To the city dweller he tells the same story, mak- ing his address specifically applicable in all that promise of urity—no And sec! ng, matter upon what it is based—is music to the ears of North Dakota vot- ers. They heed it above the charges re- peatedly flung at Langer “deals” by the more conservative element of the state. They heed it above the federal court conviction. And they apparently are content to choose questionable temporary relief at the expense of future basic sound- oo a 5 AL RE E iH | | | | | | 1 An Old Soldier Comes to the Front self-addressed envelope is enclosed.

THE WISEACRES AND THEIR FUNNY DIETARY NOTIONS For heaven's sake, mother, forge’ that meat and potato combination. This is 1934, not the stone age. Po- tatoes are all starch and should never be eaten with protein such as meat, eggs, fish or fowl. Neither should bread or other starchy food be eaten with protein. Only vegetables and acid fruits should be eaten with meat. This is the way a young daughter scolds her ma. It seems the daugh- ter has married and moved into a more pretentious neighborhood and alt her new acquaintances are out of the stone age and in the hands of slick health and diet sharks who know how to give such persons the com- Fiacent idea that they know as much or a bit more than ordinary doctors ee about the physiology of diges- tion. The stone age mother of this wise- acre daughter of 1934 tells me she is glad I “cracked down on Dr. and his wrong food combinations teaching.” She says that under the spell of the charlatan whose name we'll omit this time, her daughter is trying to subsist on the following diet: Breakfast: Two glasses raw milk, One glass orange juice, to be taken one sip of each alternately. Lunch: Lean meat, roast, boiled, but never fried. Acid fruit. Raw salad. Supper is starch meal: Baked po- tato, one slice brown bread with a little butter, carrot and raisin salad. The wiseacre daughter is growing wan and weak on this diet, and her reply to mother’s remonstrance is “For heaven's sake, mother, who on earth wants to get fat? Only the Turk likes his women fat.” Besides the Turk no doubt here and there a white man likes his, well, at least, plump, soft, smooth, graceful, well-groomed, healthy, smiling and feminine. Not necessarily in the Mae West manner, yet not angular, hard, sallow, wrinkled, gaunt. hollow-eyed, stringy, skinny, si¢kly, weak, melan- choly and drab. Two glasses of milk (16 ounces, & Pint) yield 325 calories. One glass of orange juice (8 ounces) yields 110 cal- ories. This wiseacre young woman's breakfast gives in all less than 450 calories, It is well known that an adult lying abed requires from 1,500 to 1,800 cal- ories a day to prevent actual loss of weight, strength and vitality. An adult man or woman doing the light- est kind of work or play or sitting about most of the time and getting little or no exercise, requires 2,500 to 3,000 calories daily to prevent loss of weight, strength and vitality. How can a wiseacre expect to keep well on such a restricted diet? It might have sufficed in the stone age, but hardly today. It might have served in the time when the Turk had his women fat—I think that time coin- cides with the time when the Chinese paid their doctors while they kept well and stopped paying the doctors when they were ill. Perhaps the notion that one shouldn't mix bread and meat—alas for the good old sandwich!—or pota- toes and meat comes to the great American diet fakers from some old Chinese or Turkish legend. Certainly they never found such an idea in Physiology or in nature. Nature pro- vides protein mixed with starch or sugar in almost every instance. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Shoe Repair My husband, a very thin man, does shoe repairing. When he does grind- ing he breathes considerable dust. I am worried about the effect of this on his health, but he insists it won't harm him. (Mrs. G. C.) Answer—The dust is comparatively harmless. A greater risk in such work 4s inhalation of fumes of carbon disulphid in cement used for applying invisible patches, etc. Where this guttapercha cement is used the ven- tilation should be free. The applica- tion of shoe dye is @ hazard to the worker in a poorly ventilated shop. Imperturbability I ask if you will kindly repeat the gist of the suggestion you gave, of something the dentist can use along with a local anesthetic to safeguard | «oe (Mrs, A, T.) Answer—The suggestion offered by @ good physician who has been called repeatedly to help dentists in trouble, is that the dentist should administer along with the local anesthetic, 11¢ grains of sodium amyta!. This tends to prevent untoward effects from the novocaine or other local anesthetic and to render the patient impertur- bable. : (Copyright, 1934, John. F. Dille Co.)

Horse Traffic Light Is Unusual Gadget . . . No AAA Shower Baths for Women . Tugwell Is Slave to Hay Fever. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 5—The success story of Dr. Willard Thorp becomes more astonishing day by day. This youthful Amherst professor asked for bread and the Senate gave him a stone. Now he turns up with an armful of blueberry muffins. Thorp, you recall, served nine months as director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, on- ly to have his confirmation blocked by some politically-minded Democratic senators, led by Hubert Stephens of Mississippi. Roosevelt withdrew his nomination —and has been making handsome amends ever since. First, the president refused to ac- cept Thorp'’s resignation from the Federal Alcohol Control Administra- tion and one or two lesser boards to which he had been appointed during his directorship. Then, without any announcements, one learned successively that Thorp had become an expert for the NRA Consumers’ Advisory Board, first se- cretary and then vice chairman of the important new NRA Advisory Coun- cil, and the selection of Roosevelt and Frank Walker for a bigger and better job with the National Emer- gency Council. Now, on top of all that—and again without any announcement—Thorp receives as high a tribute as could be paid to any American economist.
