Help Yourself and Builder, Too Anyone who reads over qualifica- tions necessary for obtaining modern- ization loans from local financial in- stitutions, guaranteed in part by the government, will readily see that the main idea in the National Housing Act is to start the “modernization” ball rolling rather than unleashing of @ great amount of credit. True, the government is ready to ‘back many loans ranging from $100 ‘to $2,000 to deserving home and prop- erty owners who seek credit, but the campaigns under the act, such as the drive launched Thursday by Bis- marck builders and materials deal- ers, really are aimed at parties who ‘were in financial position to remodel, but didn’t have the inclination, be- fore the National Housing Act came into existence. Lest property-owne’s get the idea that modernizing loans will come for the mere asking, it might be a good idea to take a look at the act to find out just what the government is will- ing to guarantee. The government asks local financial institutions to advance the money for ‘modernization, guaranteeing 20 per cent of these loans should the bank or financial institution fail at collec- tion. Persons getting loans must. have good credit ratings and regular in- comes so that they can repay in monthly allotments, with the excep- tion of farmers, who may pay after hharvest seasons. ‘This type of person could get a loan, generally speaking, before the act came into existence. The act prin- cipally was designed to foster a giant modernization campaign throughout the nation, with the 20 per cent guar- antee thrown in to catch the atten- tion of property owners and to show them the government's sincerity and willingness to help in part. Bismarck’s builders are under the impression, however, that many home owners in the city who should remodel their domiciles will not even have to seek loans to finance modest projects. If they can get a sufficient number of these able property owners to see ‘the value of modernization, together with a goodly number securing loans for renovating purposes, their cam- paign will be a success. ‘Though we all are born with the self-preservation instinct, Bismarck’s building campaign is not basically selfish on the part of the building trades. ‘There is little question but what the ‘building trades and building mater- ials dealers have suffered greatly dur- ing the depression, probably more so than any other class of business, It ‘was only natural during the retrench- ing period that home owners, feeling that their homes should be improved ‘tout knowing that they would serve ‘well enough for months and even years to come without improvement, would strike improvement items from their budgets. This retrenchment, both in home and business buildings, has continued through the depression, with the cu- mulative result that the building in- dustry was near paralysis. , No city is in good health when as important s business as the building ‘industry is paralyzed. Building trades have heavy investments in machinery and materials, employ many men. It is a great loss when machinery is idle end materials immovable—but it is @ tragedy when so many building craftsmen are out of work and thrown on relief rolls merely because property owners who need improvements and ean afford them postpone moderniza- tion work until such a time when labor and materials prices may be higher. “A stitch in time saves nine” is for- gotten by these property owners. Of course the architects and ma- terials dealers and builders will profit first under Bismarck’s Better Hous- ing Campaign, but every line of busi- ness will profit in the Jong run, since ‘the builders immediately will put their profits into retail channels (many have been waiting to do so for a long larg time) to the profit of the butcher, ‘baker, grocer, clothier, shoe man, pro- j fessional man and retail dealers of all dines, | Bismarck cannot possibly lose by backing the building campaign. Juicy World Scandal Senator 00|firm has alliances in almost every 00! sales—through war if necessary— lye and his committee are ‘getting results, hp munition, geet | is developing into a juicy world scan-| dal. Thursday's revelation that Elec- tric Boat, foremost maker of sub- marines in the United States, has close “agreements” with firms in eight foreign countries was a bomb of far- reaching effects. Fabulous commis- jSions received by Sir Basil Zaharoff, Europe's mystery man, and high rank- ing politicians of numerous countries were only to be expected. Big busi- ness almost invariably depends upon the “greased” palm for its more im- portant deals. But the disclosure that the U. 8. nation for the purpose of promoting this, if it can be definitely proven should givesthis old world the worst shock it has ever had in peace-time. When private enterprise will stoop to pitting the people of one nation against those of another, knowing | that success will mean death and suf- fering to thousands and millions: of human beihgs, any arguments against government control of that business sound extremely weak. It's great service that Senator Nye and his committee are performing for potential human “cannon fodder” of the world. What action this nation and others may take on the basis of evidence produced remains to be seen. Probably the same war racketeers who succeeded in manufacturing wars will succeed, by the same high powered methods, in putting the lid back on the expose. But the investigation is helping to make the folly of war so obvious that this generation at least is not going to forget. The League of Nations, in a recent report, stated that %4,000,000,000 a year is being spent for war material. With the entire world in the throes of depression, this staggering expen- diture would seem to be the height of ridiculousness. This is not a pacifist conclusion; but when people and gov- ernments both are bankrupt or nearly 80, certainly the danger of foreign invasion is lessened to s degree where national “preparedness” should be secondary to individual well being. Breaking a Poor Custom Mrs. Henry T. Rainey, widow of the late speaker of the house of rep- Tesentatives, announces that she will not be a candidate for election to succeed her husband—thus reversing &@ tendency which had become more and more noticeable in recent years. In @ great many cases, public offi- cials who have been removed from public life by death or for other rea- sons have been succeeded by their wives; and in some instances this has simply reflected a wave of sentimen- voters. Such elections do small service to the cause of good government. It would be a bad thing if we came gen- erally to accept the custom of put- ting wives in the line of succession. Mrs. Rainey does us a service by re- fusing to help establish that custom— although she herself, having served as her husband's secretary, and know- ing politics thoroughly, is better qualified than most women to take a place in public life.

That's the way it goes here in this administration, with its pullings and haulings, tightrope acts and eternal compromises.

Neither have I, but I'm get- ting onto things about them from| ,, time to time, and here is one thing that I think interesting because it is practical. The theoretical or re- search literature on vitamins is now of prodigious extent and, speaking as lowbrow browsing, I think most of it is the veriest hooey. Wading through the current vitamin litera- ture one gets the impression that too darn many scientists and not enough artists are engaged in laboratory study. It might be possible to get some practical knowledge out of a Jot of this animal experimentation if @ real physician, a practitioner who) has had some years of experience in general practice, were assigned to collaborate in every such experiment. Night blindness. that is, extraordi- nary difficulty in seeing after twilight or dusk or when the day is very dark, is now recognized as one of the char- acteristic effects of deprivation or large deficiency of vitamin A. Other effects of avitaminous A diets are xerophthalmia (dryness, ulceration and inflammation of the eyes). The tear glands as well as the salivary glands go dry too. Immunity to up- per respiratory infections is impaired or lost. Calculi (stones, gravel) form in the kidneys. Sinusitis and middle ear infection are common.

It seems that while outspoken avitaminosis is comparatively rare in this country, moderate avitaminous states are exceedingly common but seldom recognized, simply because we have no specific test for these incom- plete or partial deficiency diseases. blindness cleared up in an average 12 days.
