Marriages and Markets Chicago merchants, made optimistic by the fact that whole- sale markets this year have been better patronized than ever before in history, blossom out with the prediction that 1936 will see the “greatest home modernizing and refurnishing move- ment since the war.” They may be right. As industry goes into its new cycle and conditions improve the natural tendency is to fix up the home where the housewife spends most of her time and which is the real center of American life. In making their estimate, however, the wholesalers need not have confined themselves to “modernizing and refurnish- ing.” Everything points to a near-record home building year, which means NEW installations. And every home will be needed, both to care for families seeking better quarters as times improve and to care for NEW families, for the marriage rate, according to preliminary statis- tics was15.5 per cent higher in 1934 than in 1938 and increased acceleration was evident throughout 1935 with the highest marriage rate occurring as the last year closed. Those marriages mean markets for everything a family uses—and markets mean business. The Bow] That Cheers Popcorn, according to the department of agriculture, should be cheaper this year. In 1985 it was selling for as much as $5 a bushel in Iowa, where most of it is raised, whereas this year the price is down to $2. Not a major item of expense, to be sure, but if low cost would send the nation back to the old-fashioned popcorn party it would be a grand thing for all concerned. Digestion would'be improved and many a man and woman would have a better sense of values as a result. Much has been said of the flowing bowl—perhaps too much —but the bowl that brings real contentment is one filled with ’ fluffy, crunchy bits of delicacy, hot out of’the popper with put- | “#2: ter and salt to taste. Adda dish of red-cheeked apples and place the scene in the bosom of the average American family and we have some- thing that is good for what ails us. Old-fashioned? Well, maybe. But the only thing that can really compete with it, when the thermometer is low and the snow is deep out- side, is a taffy pull. Nature of the Problem Those who have wondered how we can have business recov- ery (as we obviously have) without solving the unemployment problem (as we obviously haven’t) get a new thought on the subject from analysis of the LOCATION of unemployment in the current Magazine of Wall Street. The major wail about unemployment has assumed that it is peculiarly a problem of industry, whereas the available sta- tistics show that the farms have contributed their full quota. In 1929 only 18 per cent of all employed persons were in manu- facturing industry. The rest were in other occupations, Of the persons now on relief, it is estimated that 21 per cent are semi-skilled workers of all kinds, 20 per cent are farm- ers and farm laborers, 21 per ¢ent are unskilled workers and 16 per cent skilled workers. Other classifications are: domestic and professional service, 12 per cent; office workers, 5 per cent; salesmen, 3 per cent, and professional and proprietary persons, 8 per cent. Anyone mulling over those figures might properly reach * the conclusion that the advance has to be general before the problem will be solved. January to June Two Bismarck ministers, Rev. W. E. Vater of the McCabe Methodist church and Rev. Father Robert Feehan of St. Mary’s Catholic church, are currently engaged in preaching series of sermons on marriage, the home and related subjects. In his sermon last Sunday Rev. Vater pointed out that lack of training by parents and the church has done much to put some marriages upon the rocks even before they are solemnized His idea, obviously, is to do something about it. Father Feehan is actuated by the same impulse. The maxim that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure never was more true than with regard to marriage. That these activities are well timed goes without saying, for quiet billing and cooing on the dayenport in January is the natural forerunner to orange blossoms and wedding marches when the roses bloom in June. Proving a Maxim Napoleon is said to have remarked that after a letter has gone unanswered for two weeks the necessity for answ>ring it has passed. That, apparently, is one of the ruling thoughts of world |: diplomats, now gathered at Geneva to consider once more the Atalo-Ethiopian crisis. They have been pondering the matter for six months, have talked much and done little. Yet the matter is working itself out. Nature and the determined resistance of the Ethio- pians are combining to defeat the Italian invaders, These forces have been more potent in heading Italy toward disaster than the “sanctions” applied by the League of Nations, oh, so cautiously and feebly. 3 And that Mussolini is on his last legs seems to be the view pf many persons in position to know. © THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1936 lag: Scenes ‘Washington. Turmoil Reigns in Supreme Court... Bitterness Said to Be Cropping Out Among Nine Justices, Far Apart on New Deal Cases ... Opinions Give Clear Indications of Wide Split... It’s Not First Time Dissension Has Torn Tribunal. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, Jan. 22.—The Grade A inside dope is that members of the U. 8. supreme court are more wrought up emotionally than in many decades. The “calm judicial temperament” has taken wing and report is that feeling between conservative and lib- eral justices has become relatively as bitter as that between New Dealers jand anti-New Dealers in the arena of Politics, On the one side are at least five justices who appear to be grimly and in some cases hysterically convinced that they are the last bulwark against the barbarian hordes and that if they can only preserve the country until a conservative again occupies the White House their lives will not have been spent in vain. On the other end are the three liberals, Brandeis, Stone, and Car- dozo, who are said to be infuriated by the willingness of other justices to rule on a basis of polgy or ex- pediency rather than law. Brandeis and Stone are understood to have been especially angry during the court’s secret discussion of the AAA case because they felt Hughes voted with Roberts, McReynolds, Vandevanter, Sutherland, and. Butler only because he felt that a 5-to-4 de- cision would diminish public confi- dence in the court. * % % Hughes ‘in the Middle’ Hughes appears actually to be standing ardund somewhere in the middle. Early in this term it was noticed that he had become older and grayer and seemed to have lost con- trol of the situation insofar as his ability to avoid 5-to-4 decisions was concerned. In the railroad retirement case at the end of the last term, he lost his temper and in a slashing dissent against a 5-to-4 opinion read by Jus- tice. Roberts charged “unwarranted limitation” such as would “make im- possible the practical exercise of power.” In the last three important liberal- conservative splits, however, Hughes has gone along with the conservative majority, conspicuously refraining from writing the opinions. Using dignified supreme court lan- guage, the minority in its dissents has been accusing the majority of usur- pation of power and disregard for the constitution, ‘That’s the only way, according to supreme court experts, that tyne can reference to the majority’s reasoning in the Constantine federal liquor tax Or Stone's ‘in another three-man dissent on the Vermont income tax case, which attacked the majority's assumption of the prerogative of a “super-legislature.” Or, finally, Stone's assertion in the AAA dissent that a majority conten- tion “hardly rises to the dignity of argument,” coupled with the tart ac- cusation of “tortured construction of the constitution,” the warning that the majority was endangering “our institutions,” and the charge that the majority refused to admit that the “constitution ene meee what it says.” Each Side Fears Chacs The conservative side has been equally bitter and emotional. Re- member Sutherland’s cry last year in the ee cases, “the constitution is gone!” Roberts, meanwhile has left many gasping by his majority opinions in the railroad and AAA cases, which went far beyond usual supreme court custom by seeming to say, in effect: “Not only can not do what it wants to do in this » but it can’t do it in any other way, either!” Strangely ough, as in "the po- litical field, each side moms to think that the other is heading the country for chaos and probably wrecking the court. The minority especially seems to believe that the majority, by a re- actionary policy which can hardly be maintained if Roosevelt is re-elected and has @ chance to make appoint- ments, is threatening the court's ex- istence. As in national politics, the Uberal-conservative fight spills over party lines. McReynolds is a Demo- crat. Stone is a Republican, They oppose each other Tay * * Bitterness in Other Days Lest you shiver in your boots at the thought of the “nine old men” going hysterical on us, it can be said that there have been previous instances where one group or another of jus- tices has thought the majority was His Majesty : ‘THE DEMOCRATIC OX (St. Paul Dispatch) Senator Nye seems bewildered and pained’ by the indignation he has aroused on the Democratic side by his accusation that President Wilson “falsified” the record of the World war when he said that he was not in- formed of the secret treaty among the Allies before America’s entrance in the war, The incident is instructive, teresting and typical. Senator Nye was merely following the approved technique of congres- A Sere BIT OF HUMO OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN IS RELISHED BY ae BEST OF MEN Goofus blew him- self to the extent of a dime the other day for the purchase of a thermometer. He hung it up outside the door and kept looking at it every little while to see how the mercury was acting. He ex- hibited the thermometer proudly to his friend Rufus, when he came long. But he began to think that he had been cheated, when he found that the mercury was going down rapidly. So he tried to sell it to Rufus.

When the majority might have ducked the issue in the Dred Scott case, but insisted on ruling as a mat- ter of political or economic policy, "| there was similiar bitterness. And in Chief Justice White’s time some of the. justices were so sore at one an- other that they wouldn't even attend the regular conferences at which the justices debate their opinions.

Why do certain individ have the abnormal craving or appetite for the highly nourishing carboh; tes? The best answer we can make at present is that their carbohydrate metabolism is deranged. It is fair to assume, in the light of present experimental and clinical knowledge, that a chronic partial vitamin deficiency is concerned in this disturbance of the ability of the body to handle carbohydrate. One gets the impression that it may be mainly a deficiency of B and G, but from analogy one prefers to think that the vitamin deficiency is multiple and accordingly it is most effectively corrected by what physicians call pluri- vitamin therapy or feeding, that is, administering or feeding not one or two vitamins alone but a fair amount of each and every vitamin, We have long conjectured and are’now convinced that most of the un- toward results and injuries to health sustained by fat folk who follow un- physiological reduction diets are due, not to insufficient nourishment, but to depletion of the supply or store of vitamins, which inevitably occurs when the individual’s ordinary diet, which is probably substandard in vitamin content to begin with, is restricted for any length of time, still further low- ering the vitamin intake. Since I called attention to this aspect of the obesity problem in this column two years ago, @ great many physicians have reported highly satis- factory experience in the management of. overweight with a regimen which assures an optimal ration of vitamins every day while the calories are re- stricted. Overweight individuals find this physiological method easier to follow, because after a week or two of superfeeding with all the vitamins, they experience a distinct improvement in vitality or sense of well being and with it a moderation of the abnormal craving for carbohydrate or a sense of satisfaction with ordinary or less than ordinary amounts of such foods. Under such circumstances reduction is easily and naturally achieved, tho not quickly. The excess weight is not gained all in a week; it is always more satisfactory in the long run to reduce gradually, not more than a pound or two a week but uninterruptedly until fairly normal weight is restored.
