If economic conditions permitted, it is probable that North Dakota would Jead the world in per capita flying. Much of this state is a great natural landing field with few hazards of mountains and trees to interfere with forced landings. Airlines are being extended to re- gions which never before had this service and the new arrangement has brought closer together all parts of the country. It is now only a matter of hours from Bismarck to almost any point in the United States. But the craft used by the big com- mercial firms are large and expen- sive, Even if he could afford to buy one, the ordinary man could not af- ford to operate one of these. If fly- ing is really to become popular we must have a safe and efficient air- plane which can be bought as auto- mobiles now are purchased and which tan be maintained as cheaply. With a view to speeding this end, the aeronautics bureau of the depart- ment of commerce, the government arm interested in civil aviation, has offered to buy 25 small, inexpensive, two-seated airplanes for the use of its inspectors in the field. The spe- cifications call for characteristics in design, construction and performance not now contained in any airplane. If they are met, the idea is, the maker will have an airplane which will gteatly expand the market for this kind of transportation. If such a machine is produced there is every reason to believe Bismarck soon will become one of the larger air centers of the northwest. Dis- tances in this country are relatively great and the airplane can be an excellent time-saver. We have nu- merous good airports to serve as ha- vens of refuge in case of trouble and our weather is ordinarily favorable to flying. All we need is the right kind of girplane at the right price and the money to buy it. Under Federal Control How control of banking has been placed in the hands of federal au- thorities at Washington was indi- cated the other day by the manner in which the call for statements of condition, issued from the national capital, affected practically every bank in the country. State banks still are under the control of state officials and operate under state laws, but superimposed above these now is the authority of the federal reserve banking system and the federal depositors’ insurance corporation. The federal reserve system always hhas been authorized to call for state- ments from state banks affiliated with it, but the number of these has been relatively small in the past and many local institutions still are with- out the fold. The insurance corporation, however, reaches practically every one. Not a bank in North Dakota is operating without this protection and the same situation prevails elsewhere. When all of these reports are re- ceived, therefore, it will be possible for the government to obtain an exact picture of the banking situation throughout the nation in a manner never before possible. This, at least, will be a benefit, for in the modern 150/both sides are thinking of their "|provement in the financial status of company a business revival, and economists compute the losses suf- fered by employers, workers, and the public through such disturbances; but what we all fall to realize is that the whole troubled labor picture is Giving us a first-rate object lesson. For a strike, when you stop to think about it, is nothing more or less than an outbreak of this “indi- vidualism” we have been hearing so much about lately. It stands, that is to say, for the utter lack of any kind of public con- trol over the parties or the industries involved. To be a little more accurate, it in- dicates the complete absence of any kind of planning in the pariicular economy where the strike takes place. It is a sign that the industry is drifting along with the stream; that Problem in the terms of immediate Personal advantage and not in terms of long-run public interest. One must hasten to add that it is only natural that they should do so. The industrialist must rivet his at- tention on his profit-and-loss figures; the worker has to think first of all of his pay envelope. To expect them voluntarily to do anything else would be to anticipate the millennium. But the point is that the strike, with all the waste that it involves, is simply the price we pay for the rule of individualism in our economic life. One of the things that makes us loath to realize this is the fact that when you start talking about the al- ternatives to industrial individualism you begin to get into deep waters. The people of America see no good reason why they should copy either the Italian or the Russian method of handling such things. Costly as strikes may be, most of us would prefer to put up with them rather than to get rid of them via either Communism or Fascism. But that needn't prevent us from facing the facts. Nor need it pre- vent us from continuing our effort to discover whether there isn't some way of so modifying the rule of in- dividualism that its benefits can be retained while its costly drawbacks can be discarded. Another Good Sign Superintendent Roger W. Toll of Yellowstone National park is one man who looks forward to extremely good business this summer. So far this year upward of 20,000 visitors have passed through the park—which compares with fewer than 7,000 for the same period last year. Tol! believes that fully 200,000 People will visit the park before 1934 is over, and he also believes there is a chance that the all-time record of 260,000 visitors—made in the boom year of 1929—may be broken, All this, it seems to us, is a pretty good indication of returning pros- Pperity. Yellowstone Park, after all, is quite a distance from the great centers of population. If tourists are going there in rec- ord-breaking numbers, there must have been a pretty substantial im- 8 lot of people.

North Dakota and Langer (Dickey County Leader) North Dakota, which once recalled @ man duly elected governor and then sent him to represent it in Washing- ton, last week made another fantastic exhibition of itself by according a staggering vote to a governor who stood convicted of a felony. Small wonder that the nation looks upon us as a people slightly sub-normal mentally; nor can those who opposed the action find much comfort from that fact. In the eyes of our critics we all are equally guilty of a most erratic behavior, to put it kindly. How we North-Dakotans look to the outside world was expressed editori- ally last week by the St. Paul Pioneer Press, which said: “Although the voters of North Da- kota thought so little of Governor Langer’s crime against the United States that they gave him the en- dorsement of an overwhelming vic- tory in the Republican primary elec- tion this week, federal court has thought seriously enough of it to give him the stiff sentence of eighteen ernor Langer will have the bitter ex- perience of enjoying his political vin- dication in Leavenworth or some other federal prison. “North Dakota is thus twice shamed: First for the conviction of him after his conviction in federal court of a felony. Had Governor Langer been convicted by an inqyisi- torial government while standing in defense of some great principle or human right, the action of the voters of North Dakota in giving him vindi- cation would have been worthy. But Governor Langer, despite his croco- could be called a victim of by no stretch of imagina- seeds hee mitt 4 verity of the court’s sen- ily f self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink.

THE NEW REDUCTION MEDICINE KILLS A PERSON HERE AND THERE Not long ago I told here the news of the introduction of a new medicine which seemed to be the answer to the maiden’s prayer—something that would reduce weight regardless of diet and exercise and massage and style of dress. I explained that I had been trying it out on the dog—not Tony the Wirish Terror, not by a jugful, but the sly dog who conducts this con- temptible column—and that it had kept me quite warm but I had lost a couple pounds a week and didn't mind the discomfort from the increased warmth and increased sweating. 1/8 carefully pointed out, however, that “the new medicine to reduce without oieting or exercising can be safely and effectively given only under the per- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis, or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Bi sonal supervision of the physician; in this respect it is like insulin for build- ing up underweight individuals.” A Los Angeles girl engaged in social service work heard about the new medicine from a friend who was @ physician's office nurse, and the nurse in turn had heard some physicians discussing the new medicine. Well, this young woman immediately bought some capsules of the new medicine and began taking it regularly, on her cwn hook and without benefit of Medicine. According to the history subsequently obtained from friends and family she had continued taking/* the medicine for five or six days. Then she was ill in bed—thought it was the weather or grip or something—com- plained of “burning up.” but took some more of the magic medicine, and. ntly lapsed into unconsciousness apes removed to the hospital. ‘There her temperature was found only moderately elevated, but the breath- ing was very fast. She died a few hours after arrival in the hospital. Since no one knew what had caused death a vety careful autopsy was done. “Following the autopsy we were unable to propose so much as an intelligent guess regarding the cause of death” says the physicians’ report. Only by questioning the relatives did they learn that the young woman had been taking dinitrophenol. And for nearly a year prior to the fatal ex- periment with dinitrophenol she had been taking thyroid extract. No par- ticular reason, just the same foolish yen to be fragile and ethereal, for as a matter of fact this young woman was no more overweight than is the average young woman who fusses about dieting to reduce. Although I admire curves and all that, I fail to see Mae West. Still I cry more power to her acting if it will bring back hips and things and Crive Famine out of the picture. Investigation disclosed that this young woman had taken 16 capsules of dinitrophenol in five days, each capsule containing rather more than 1 should regard as plenty for a heavy individual to take in one day. The physicians just assumed the dinitrophenol caused death. They ad- mit they don’t know whether the thy- rady if a stamped, Letters should be brief and written roid extract had anything to do with it. The entire case as reported in me- dical records is not too clearcut, but it should serve as a warning that it is only @ sensible precaution to have & doctor supervise the experiment if you undertake to burn it off with the new magic medicine. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Olive Oil Please tell me of some pleasing ways of taking olive oil each day, still get- ting its benefits and not being so hard totake. (A. McK.) Answer—Mixed with vinegar or le- mon juice and a wee bit of sugar it goes well on iceberg lettuce. Emul- sified with egg and a little flour and stuff it is pretty good dressing for) salads, fish and things. But why should you want to take olive oil if you don’t like it?

Doctor says I have to wait for my system to eliminate it natural- . Meantime my right arm isn’t much use. (Mrs. H. A. G.) Answer—Alternating periods of high calcium diet and low calcium diet, together with small doses of iodin or fodides, help to excrete the lead. | Tongue Chewing Bad habit of chewing on my tongue | «+ (Mrs. C. H, A.) Answer—If you can't break the, habit, let your dentist fit an appliance | put upon your teeth which will retain a; smooth shield so that the tongue can’t eet between the teeth.
