Worth Working For Proposal by the Bismarck commit- tee in charge of the President's birth- day ball to form a state association to aid crippled children reflects the sound common sense for which the in- dividual members of the local com- mittee are notable. It is obvious that the expenditure of thousands of dol- Jars in small dabs and dribbles will Produce no worthwhile benefit, whereas the launching of a state- wide effort might do a vast amount of good, The opportunity for achieve- ment is large enough to satisfy the most ambitious. One of the first things to be done, if a really effective attack is to be made upon the appealing problem of the crippled child, is to ascertain how extensive is the need for treat- ment. Various agencies which have Jong been interested may have an accurate census of those needing help. but the number of children needing as- sistance and who have been overlooked has been found surprisingly large where any real effort has been made to disclose the truth. In too many cases families are ashamed of handi- capped children, keep them out of) sight as much as possible. Attention also should be given to the education of fathers and moth- ers, who have handicapped children. ‘Too many of them take their child's misfortune as a matter of course, make no effort to correct it. Proper Publicity, which would be organized by a state committee through agen- cies already available, could do much to rouse the interest of neglectful parents, stir them to action. Clearly the problem is not one which can be met by public charity alonc. The Elks, Shriners and other! lodge organizations which have long been active in this work have ex-} perience which would be valuable in| any state-wide effort. They should} be consulted and should have a voice in any new development, for it is not | to be expected that they will aban- don enterprises which have won them | much renown merely because addi- tional energy is being made available | in this field. A state council for the care and} treatment of crippled children, which could be formed by the big-hearted end right-thinking people of our state, would be a splendid agency for bringing joy into lives which other- ‘wise would be blighted. It is worth working toward and fighting for. Congressional Monday Im the lower house of congress at ‘Washington the rules provide for a sort of open forum on Mondays at which time the members may present nything they wish. During most of the time the house operates under stringent rules but on Mondays it is different. ‘The manner in which this system Operates is evidenced by the experi- ences of Usher L. Burdick, a “baby” fn congress despite his 270 pounds, in his initial effort as a congres- Gional orator. ‘The whole thing is contained in the ‘Congressional Record, copies of which are being distributed to North Dakota the effect is to give even # casual observer an uproarious laugh, not at by the other speakers in asking ques- tions and making observations of their own. Burdick, to whom the time had been allotted, found himself called out on strikes without himself taking more than one swing at the oratorical ball. But congress has a cure for its own inefficiencies and Mr. Burdick finally got his licks home—in batting prac- jtice. He was permitted to extend his jfemarks in the record and there he ‘did so, without interruption. Salva- | tion was had at last, How a Legal Mind Works ‘The amazing way in which some Persons can follow legal formalism re- jgardless of the human issues at stake is illustrated by a current case in the Texas courts, where someone's mistake in writing a date may mean the difference between life and death for a convicted criminal. A Texan was convicted of mur- der and sentenced to electrocution. Early in January the then governor, Miriam Ferguson, issued a commu- tation, and the judge before whom the case appeared prepared to change the sentence to one of life imprisonment. Then it was discov- ered that a careless clerk, in making out the commutation, had dated it Jan. 8, 1934, instead of 1935, So the judge has ruled the docu- ment invalid and has sentenced the man to the electric chair on March 8! Starving to Avoid Hunger It is @ pleasant little picture which Admiral Mineo Osumi, minister of the Japanese navy, held out to his People in a recent speech in the Jap- anese parliament. The admiral as- serted bluntly that Japan must be Prepared to go through with any naval race that may develop, “even if we are reduced to eating rice gruel.” Now a statement of this kind indi- cates the confusion into which mili- tary men are all too apt to fall. For if @ nation maintains a navy for any sensible purpose at all, it is for the purpose of warding off enemies that the nation will not be reduced to pov- erty and hardship which the eating of rice gruel is supposed to signify. To accept such hardship and pov- erty voluntarily to support, a navy is to get the cart a couple of nautical miles ahead of the ‘horse. For Fair Competition Joseph Eastman's program for re- habilitation of our railway system is a document deserving of the, most extended study. It seems to cut a pretty carefully planned middle course between demands of the government- ownership group and proposals of those who would have the govern- ment interfere with the system as little as possible. With at least one of his suggestions there will be wide agreement. He urges that all transportation systems —bus, truck, boat, pipeline, and pos- sibly even airplane—be put under control of the Interstate Commerce Commission along with the railroads. This would probably do as much to give the roads a better break in the matter of competition as any one step that could be taken. For the rest, his program is the Product of much study, and it sets forth the most clear-cut plan that has yet been offered for restoring our railroads to full economic health, 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, What Is Education? (Adams County Record) ‘There are a number of people who have not had the privilege of attend- ing college. Some of them, no doubt, believe that they are not “educated.” They may be right and they may be wrong. Education is not a question of being able to graduate from any school, college or university. One of the prime requisites of an educated man, as we see it, is to be able to cooperate intelligently with his fellowmen. This means a willing- ness, as well as an ability, to get along with other members of the 80- cial group. No matter how much a man may know, or how many college degrees he may have, he is far from being educated if he is unable to meet his neighbors on common ground and to work together for the common There are many people who have never seen the inside of a college who nevertheless are better educated than many holders of college degrees. They may be a little short on intelligence, of @ certain type, but they are long on common sense and they have Picked up enough information to be able to cooperate. We do not mean to disparage edu- cation. Rather, we wish to encourage those who cannot go to college.

Big Names Are Linked in Deals... Roosevelt Hush Tale! Discounted. Washington, Feb. 8—Crowded off the front page by Mr. Hauptmann and many new varieties of local ex-; citement, the senate munitions com- mittee nevertheless resumed _ its i hearings with some of its most im- Portant revelations. Its new disclosures were designed to discredit in advance the ineffec- tive, half-way measures for “taking the profit out of war’ which it felt would be advocated by B. M. Baruch and Gen. Hugh Johnson, key mem- bers of the presidential war profits committee. And when time comes to propose legislation, this groundwork will be used in argument for more radical! Iegislation than Baruch or Johnson would agree to. What the committee showed, with almost no publicity, was that war Profits taxes were an unsafe and un- certain means of reducing war profits. The New York Shipbuilding Com- Pany, one of the “Big Three” which has made large profits in its business with the navy in both war and peace, reported taxes for the 1918-21 period of only $2,941,627. Bureau of internal revenue agents claimed the company owed the gov- ernment $14,561,091, The final set- tlement came in 1928—$5,705,308. FATTENED ON U. S.

Certain members of the committee have whis- | the hvarings in connection with anj{ interesting story. Although they're all mum about it now, several insist that no names are going to be suppressed. The spotlight may or may not be turned on a couple of prominent sen- ators—one a Democrat and the other a Republican—who have been found to have received loans from an im- Portant figure in the munitions in- dustry. In that instance the question of senatorial courtesy tends to get mix- ed up with the question whether there was anything sufficiently cul- pable about the loans to demand pub- lic disclosure.

Senator Ben- nett Clark of Missouri asked: “Then the more taxes assessed against you, the more profit you made, since you got cost-plus pay on the basis of total cost, including taxes?” Treasurer N. R. Parker of the com- pany admitted that was true. Those were hard blows at the con- ventional army-navy-Baruch ideas as to what to do about war profits. NAVY MEN WORRIED Navy officials have been in a lath- er of apprehension, not so much be- cause of the wartime contracts, but because of revelations they knew were coming as to battleship con- tracts made in peacetime. The price of a common type of cruiser was stepped up 100 per cent between December, 1932, and Au- gust, 1934. Some senators say that sort of thing means a Roman holl- day for the “Big Three” under the new naval program unless they can head it off by drastic curtailment of profits. One pious fib due to be exploded is the assertion of Secretary Swan- them keep up, as best they can, with current affairs, read as much as pos- sible about subjects they do not know and never forget that true education is what a man learns and makes his own, not what he gets out of a book merely for the purpose of making a Tecitation that will pass him.

COOKS, QUACKS AND MERCHANTS ARE NOT NUTRITION AUTHORITIES Spinal curvature, high hip, low shoulder, round back, weak ankles. flat feet, night blindness, dry eyes, obesity, decayed teeth, knock-knee, physical staleness, premature gray- ing of the hair, myocarditis, anemia, chronic arthritis, multiple neuritis, functional impairments of the repro- ductive organs, rigid brittle nails, finical appetite, voracious appetite— these are frequently manifestations of nutritional deficiency. I could ex- tend the list to a frightful length were it fair to include mention of the many vague disturbances of health which we know are often due wholly to hypovitaminous diet—that is, food which supplies insufficient vitamins for the requirements of eutrophy, per- fect nutrition, top condition, buoy- ant health. I prefer not to suggest such symptoms. The entities I have mentioned will illustrate the importance of nutri- tion, And right here let me remind you, Mr. and Mrs. Wiseacre, that neither the best cooks nor the bright- est young saleswomen nor the most expert dietitians nor the most fa- mous “food specialists” are com- petent to advise what any invalid or near-invalid should or should not eat. Indeed, many cases of the various conditions enumerated have been brought about or aggravated by the popular practice of following the ad- vice of unqualified persons in the matter of diet, particularly in chil- dren. The wiseacre mother of a 10 year old child who had pronated feet (weak ankles, the potential or first stage of flat feet) took the child first to a “foot specialist” clerk and per- mitted this charlatan to fit some kind of trick shoe, The trouble grew worse. Then the moronic parent had healer whose promises were rosy but whose performance proved disap- pointing. Next she afflicted the un- the child’s spine adjusted by a fad jfry fish in cream? (Mrs. J. J. A) —on a line of reasoning similar to that which formerly caused misguid- ed mothers to encase young daugh- ters in freak corsets which the wise saleswoman said were quite neces- sary to “mould” the figure. At last, only by accident, the child came un- der the notice of a physician, just a plodding old family practitioner, but one who was well abreast of the pro- gress of his profession, He put a stop to the hocus-pocus and saw that the child received a suitable diet, in- cluding an optimal ration of vitamins, and in a few weeks the foot trouble was cured. Sometimes I think it is unfortunate that victims of this nutritional defect —pronated or potential flat feet—do not suffer more “rheumatic” or “neu- ralgic” pains and lame back or feel run down, anemic or nervously ex- hausted, for even the dumb ones with these symptoms are likely to take it into their heads to obtain ‘medical advice.
