This fact was brought home forc- ibly to citizens of San Francisco and} Minneapolis, where the daily lives of thousands not interested in the strikes themselves were affected by the battles waged between employers and employes. The situation is yet too muddled to tell who was right and who was wrong in either case, but indications are-that there are items of credit and debit on both sides of the ledger. In Minneapolis, according to ap- parently reliable observers, a small group of truck owners and a small group of truck drivers were jointly responsible for the strike. Most employers were willing to and did treat their men fairly. Most em- ployes were willing to and did give loyal service to their employers. Bismarck, every cent represented an investment by some thrifty individ- ual, In the case of death claims, it represented provision by a family head against disaster for his depend- ents. In the case of annuity pay- ments or the maturity of other poli- cies, it represented the work and toil of the individual who bought this Protection. ‘These last few years have been dif- ficult for all kinds of business. The mortality rate has been as high in some classifications, on a percentage 20| basis, as among farmers. If the num- ber of farmers had been reduced as rapidly as the number of banks, for example, the exodus from this state would have far exceeded the wildest imaginings of those who contemplate 00/ the relocation of many now on sub- marginal land. The wonder is that the insurance 00| business has been able to meet the demands made upon it as represented by the payment of those three and a half billion dollars. The fact is a tribute both to the managements of the companies and to the stability of the American people. In many fam- ilies the last thing dropped has been the insurance policy. It has rightly been regarded as a bulwark against the uncertainties of the future, even though the uncertainties of the pres- ent are hard enough to bear. Some insurance firms have gone into receiverships, of course, but the number has been small and in many cases their policy obligations have been taken over by going concerns so that the policy holder lost little or nothing. Evil chickens come home to roost, it is true, but so do the dollars in- vested in insurance—and with almost the same certainty. Thus the $138,- 000 paid out in Bismarck and Bur- leigh county is a repayment of money which first was invested. It has served to keep children and old peo- ple from want, has bolstered the fi- nances of many in time of trouble. Add to it the money which doubtless has been borrowed on policies locally held and it is easily understandable that the insurance companies, far from being @ menace, are one of our great national assets. Flies vs. Health Fly time occurs in North Dakota during August and September, the entomologist tells us, but one no self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink. prey YOUR OPTIMAL BODY SIZE Tables purporting to give the “cor. rect” weight for persons of different age, height and sex are scarcely worth consulting in any circumstance. The figures of such tables represent only averages of the individuals examined— no matter whether a thousand or ten thousand of each age-height class. Well, that ought to give a fair idea of what is normal, you may think. But I can’t agree with you. It may give @ fair idea of what was accepted as nor- mal a generation ago. Remember, the measurements on which these tables are based were made twenty, thirty, forty or more years ago. The old gray mare ain’t what she used to be, nor is the woman today so weak, sickly and frail as her mother was. Records of many thousands of college girls prove that the height, weight and strength of the modern girl are all increased over the figures of college girls a generation ago. So don’t take the “correct” weight tables seriously. Even for two persons of the same age, sex and height an arbitrary “cor- rect” weight does not necessarily ap- ply. In the first place, one person may be flabby, soft, weak, from neg- lect of physical education; the other may be firm of flesh, athletic, or well educated physically — and should weigh more, because muscle is heavier than fat, tho it takes up less room. Then, too, the type or build or| framework must be taken into con- sideration. The length' of limb and breadth of shoulder, the capacity of the thorax or the vital capacity may vary considerably in persons of the same sex, age and height. These fac- tors cannot be ignored in estimating what the individual's weight should be. Ideally the “correct” figure might be determined by measuring the in- dividual’s specific gravity. That is put him in a tank and compare his actual weight with the weight of the water he displaces from the tank. In measuring metabolism it is cus- tomary to compute the rate by estima. ting the area of the patient's total body surface. The mere weight of PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Plained, the weight gives no definite idea of the relative proportion of stored, inactive, slacker fat. . As accurate as a table is the simple formula for estimating what the weight should be: Multiply the num. ber of inches of height above 5 feet by 5%, and to that add 100 for women, 110 for men. If the height is less than 5 feet, multiply the number of inches below 5 feet by 5% and sub. tract that from 100 for women or 110 for men. Figure your weight from your own height by this formula and you will fix the formula in mind so that you can estimate what anybody's weight should be. QUESTIONS *.ND ANSWERS Worry and Nutrition Statistics indicate that the public has had better health on the poorer quality or diminished quantity of food these past four year:. In your opin. ion would not the worry over losing homes, lack of security for the future, etc., causing high blood pressure and other ills, offset this? (W. G. C.) Answer—Worry is diluted fear. Fear jis a harmful emotion and is quite likely to impair nutrition. I should say this untoward factor more than offsets the theoretice] benefit derived from restriction in food. Soft Hearted I am very soft hearted. I cry over every little thing. I wish there were some cure for it. I am disgusted with myself. (Mrs. 8, P. R.) Answer—So do I. I'm quite a boohoo baby too. Let’s promise to share the Lo in case either of us ever finds Maltreatment of Child Is it injurious in any way to leave Tubber panties on the baby all day long, taking them off only when he Goes to bed at night? (Mrs. F E. 8.) Answer—Yes. Causes eczema and predisposes to inflammation of blad- der. Better to put two or three diap- ers of absorbent diaper cloth on, if the baby must be neglected like that. (Copyright 1934, John F. Dille Co.) PLIERS TAKE OFF ON BAGDAD FLIGHT ‘There were no points of difference/ionger hears the slogan of “swat the Ayling and Reid Hope to Set between them which could not have been settled amicably. But some employers were disposed to “chisel” both their men and the trucking codes. In some cases, they required their men to punch a time clock at what should have been the end of their day, then go on working without additional pay. Thus they were unfair, not only to their men but to their competitors. In other cases truck drivers appar- ently committed acts of sabotage, as frequently against fair firms as those which were unfair. Attempts to reach peaceful settle- ment were thwarted when the union got into the hands of agitators who were not so much interested in ob- taining a fair agreement as in stir- ring up trouble. As a result, both the honest employer and the honest employe were buffeted about unfairly and the public also suffered. In seeking a fair and proper un- derstanding it is clear that the re- sponsibility rests as much with the employer as with his men, if not more so, and the sad fact is that too many employers do not recognize this responsibility. In a recent article in Forbes Maga- zine, a publication going largely to business executives, Chapin Hoskins reviews the San Francisco strike and reaches three conclusions. They are: 1, The greatest labor danger of today lies in neglected grievances. 2. There is no value in winning the confidence of conservative labor leaders unless the confidence of their men also is won. 3. Violence breeds violence. He might have added, for the bene- fit of workers who are asked to strike, that no strike can possibly be suc- cessful unless it respects the rights of the public and the facts are such as to win general public support. Willingly or unwillingly, the aver- age citizen sits as a judge in any big strike. His opinion must, after all, decide the conflict, because popular opinion is all-powerful in this coun- try and it has @ thousand ways of expressing itself, The employer or labor group which incurs public ill will not only harms his own cause, he proves himself a fool. Insurance as an Asset During 1933, according to a recent report by the National Underwriter, organ of the insurance business, a total of $3,465,224,187 was put in cir- Canada, of which two-thirds went to living policy holders. In Bismarck, according to the same suthority, payments totaled $138,000, or $12.68 per capita. These figures demonstrate the enormous size of the insurance in- dustry as well as its effect upon every fly.” The reason is that there are other and easier ways of ridding our homes of this pest which still is as great a menace to health as it ever was. ‘The fly swatter, to be sure, still is in common and frequent use, but scientific advances in methods of dealing with insects have made it an auxiliary to other control meas- The first of these, as always, is proper sanitation, for elimination of breeding places is the best method of reducing the fly population. Ten years ago all agencies interested in public health conducted annual cam- paigns warning people to cover their garbage cans and to adopt other practices designed to combat the propagation of insects. How success- ful these were is proved by the fact that they no longer are necessary. People now observe such rules as a matter of habit. This advance may hold the sccret of our excellent summer health rec- ord. Many ills of the warm season still are with us. People still get sun- burned or contact poison ivy to their subsequent discomfort. The rate of drowning throughout the country as a whole still remains high, even though Bismarck has an excellent record in this respect, but the inci- dence of diseases which used to form a major blot on the summer health record has been markedly» reduced. We are controlling them by eliminat- ing the insects which carried them This is made easy by the devices which science puts in every house- wife's hand and by recognition of the fact that the fly is a major health menace.

As “charging” to World’s Long Distance Record in Hop ‘Wasaga Beach, Ont., Aug. 8.—(7)— James Ayling and Leonard Reid took off at dawn Wednesday in an attempt to fly non-stop to Bagdad, Iraq, and break the world’s long distance flight record. The heavily-loaded plane ran a mile and a half down the beach before soaring away at 6:12 a. m. (Eastern daylight saving time) to the east. Ahead was the dangerous North Atlantic hop, the biggest hazard along the 6,500-mile route to Bagdad. The plane, “the Trail of the Cari- bou,” is the same one in which Cap- tain James Mollison and his wife, Amy, British fliers, attempted to take off from the same beach last year on a long distance flight, only to crack up at the start. They preferred to start from Cen- tral Canada instead of from Harbor, Grace, Nfld., where most of west-to- east transatlantic hops have been in- augurated. Reid, 36, is a native of Canada. He has worked for an airplane company in this country and in England. Ayl- ing is 29 and flew for several years in the British Royal Air Force. ‘The plane was overloaded by 2,750 pounds, more than a ton and a quar- ter. It started off at a speed of about 110 miles an hour but will taper cown. to about 80 miles an hour if she nears Bagdad. It was estimated the ship would consume about 9.3 gallons of gasoline an hour. Langer and Bonzer To Tour Middle West Ousted Gov. William Langer soon will begin a “circle tour” of nine middle western states and 18 cities. With him will be State Senator A. F. Bonger, Jr., and together they will tell their story of Langer’s conviction and his activities as governor. Plans call for Langer to appear at Aberdeen, 8. D., Aug. 14; Sioux Falls, 8.

Militia Ordered to Keep ‘War’ Bloodless New Orleans, Aug. 8.—()—National Guardsmen were ordered Wednesday to be more careful about shooting at People, Instructions to the soldiers to cry “halt” three times before shooting were renewed, and they were told to fire warning shots into the air—not at—suspects. It was feared that a drop of blood shed in the battle between Senator Huey P. Long and Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley for political control of New Orleans might spring the triggers of more than a thousand guns. Only three shots—all ineffective— have been fired thus far. Two were aimed at a prowler by a barracks sen- try and the third was an accidental discharge of a riot gun in the regis- tration office held by the militia. Death Penalty Hangs Over Husband Killer Wolf Point, Mont., Aug. 8—( Held without bond in the county fail here for the death of her husband, burned fatally when a lye solution was poured over him as he slept, Dena Skalander, 54, will be arraigned Wednesday on a charge of first de- gree murder, County Attorney Frank M. Catlin announced. This charge carries with it the death penalty (hanging) upon con- viction. Mrs. Skalander, authorities allege, poured the solution upon her husband HITLER 10 TACKLE GRAVE PROBLEM OF GERMAN FINANCES Economic Situation Grave Due Principally to Decline in Foreign Trade Berlin, Aug. 8—(#)—Adolf Hitler put aside the role of funeral orator Tuesday and turned to the task of, lems which enmesh it in one of its most critical mazes since the World ‘War. The chancellor-president in all but name—returned to the capital by air- plane Tuesday immediately after he had spoken a eulogy at the bier of bd late President Paul von Hinden- irs. Germany's economic situation is grave. A sharp decline in foreign trade and ensuing foreign exchange Gifficulties have necessitated a pro- gram of rationing raw materials which recalls war-time measures. This, economists say, is bound to, result in a curtailment of production and the problem of keeping factories going is imminent. The financial dilemma was re-em- phasized Tuesday by the announce- ment that registered marks would be barred to foreigners living in Ger- many. Hitherto foreign diplomats, journ. alists and business men have bought registered marks at rates varylag from 3.80 to 4.05 marks to the dollar. Now they will have to buy ordinary marks, beginning Oct. 1, at the dear rate of approximately 2.50 to the dollar.

Tuesday night's match was the fourth played between the two teams in the series which resulted as fol- lows: Women-25, Girls-19; Girls: Women-6; _Women-23, —Girls-21; Women-19, Girls-14. In the eighth inning the women brought in 6 scores and the girls only 1, The play was consistent and few errors were made until the eighth inning, when the girls made 12 er- rors. Thursday night the two teams’ will meet in another game at the north field, according to Miss Betty Haag- ensen, director of women’s athletics for the summer months. Beginning next Wednesday, women’s and‘ girls’ kittenball will be discontinued but will be resumed with a practice on either August 23 or 28. In the engagement with the Regan girls’ team Sunday, which was played here, the local all-stars lost by 30 to 14. Another game with Regan has been scheduled for August 26 on the Mrs.| home field.

CHAPTER XXVI On the same day that I went to Echoville, Seifert Vail was buried in New York City from a preten- tious funeral chapel. His sister, who had cabled instructions for the dis- ipo of his body, had arrived ‘rom Bermuda in time to attend The newspa; morning described the scene. A few friends had been admitted, and so eee & press of curiosity seekers ad gathered outside that the police had to disperse them. Only Anne Vail and two others had accompa- the stopped atthe her from a picture in the Times as the singer's sister. “I want to see the manager, please,” she said in a deep, authori- tative voice. I looked at her with interest in the moment she stood there, before the operator directed her to Ander- son's office down the hall. She wore flat-heeled shoes, a well-tailored tweed suit which must have been very warm that day, and a plain black straw hat.
