For the information of those who have wondered if it were not a scheme concocted by local merchants to play on civic pride and thus sell more goods, the answer is “NO.” The merchants had nothing to do with the inception of the idea or with its adoption. If they are beneficiaries in some small measure no one should protest, for in buying goods of this kind for retail to the public there is considerable risk and it is by no means sure that they will make a profit. The men of Bismarck are required by law and their own sense of decorum to wear some clothes and the Pioneer Days garb is as good as any. In addition it serves the double purpose of reminding our citizens that we have a big celebration on the program and advising the outside world that we are deeply interested. Whatever credit or blame attaches to the proposition must be given to the Pioneer Days publicity committee and to the general committee which adopted its suggestion. The initial proposal to wear whiskers was voted down, and this, perhaps, showed good judgment. Whiskers would be none too comfortable on warm days much as we have had already this summer. There would have been no implications of commercialism in the whisker proposal except, perhaps, on the part of barbers who would have had the job of caring for the city’s hirsute adornment. The Pioneer Days regalia idea brings no discomfort to any- one. It was suggested and adopted merely as an advertising stunt and to interest our own people as well as those in the sur- rounding territory in the big celebration. The visitor to Bis- marck would have to be dull indeed not to wonder why other- wise sedate individuals were going in for ten-gallon hats and “red hot” shirts. And the normal thing is for them to ask questions. That interest is the basis for all effective publicity. In offering these goods for sale the merchants of the city are merely cooperating in the effort. There is and has been no “racket” as some have professed to believe. The kangaroo court which will enforce the ruling is, of course, an unofficial body. It has no legal power. The only authority given it comes from the natural interest which every citizen should have in making this celebration a success. It will impose no hardship on anyone and its activities will be con- ducted in a spirit of fun and good humor. If the citizens accept it in the spirit in which it was created it will be an interesting and amusing sidelight to the biggest public event ‘in Bismarck’s history. The Pioneer Days regalia is a string on our finger to remind us of the fact that the big celebration is in the offing. The kangaroo court will merely emphasize the fact that the string is there. March of Progress Every Bismarck resident who has not already inspected the new high school building should take advantage of the “open house” being sponsored tonight by the school board and faculty to do so. This building is a distinct addition to Bismarck’s public structures and is one of the finest of its kind in the northwest. It is well worth an hour or two of anyone’s time. The significance of the structure lies, however, not in its beauty or utility but in the fact that it represents in a tangible way Bismarck’s interest in the future of this nation. In a democracy such as ours the government cannot long exist without education and training on the part of the people’ asa whole. In America every citizen has important duties to perform and the fundamental attitude toward those obligations is determined as much by the school as by the home environ- ment. Without public education we would have some sort of government but it would not be government of, for and by the people as visualized by the founders. To have that sort of gov- ernment we must have people who are interested in and capable of understanding the problems of government and the high schoo} graduates of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Most of them will be of voting age by the time the election of 1940 rolls around and their votes then will count for as much as those ’ of the oldest and wealthiest citizen. In presenting the new building to the public the school board and fac- ulty wisely emphasize that it is merely a means to an end. The best school still is “Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and me on the other” as was declared to be the case by a famous American. On this basis the new high school and other buildings are merely the background for the activities of pupils and teachers. But it is only reasonable to assume that the better the background the better the instruction. It is easier to instruct and to learn in pleasant sur- roundings than amid discomforts and handicaps. That is the only justifica- tion for the heavy expenditures which this and other communities have Made on our school system. A Tm addition. modern curricula demand modern equipment. Mark Hop- kins or no one else could properly instruct # child in the rudiments of chem- Istry or physics without the rather expensive equipment contained in @ mod- 2mm school laboratory. No education can be complete without the reference and general reading for which provision is made in our fine school library. . ‘The important people in a school are not the members of the school ‘board or even the members of the instructional staff.

By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) py Washington, June 3.—The big win- her in the Republican primaries seems to have been Mr. Roosevelt, That's because Roosevelt and Demo- cratic candidates have been piling up larger votes in various important states than have the Republican can- didates, particularly in California, Illinois, and Ohio. The Ohio primary system is a com- paratively scrambled affair, and ar- bitrary conclusions usually are not drawn there from the bare figures. But informed men who four months ago were saying that the state was lost to the Democrats, now concede that Ohio would land in Roosevelt's lap if the election were held today. This group includes certain Ohio Re- publican congressmen, speaking in their frankly confidential moments. One big factor they cite is that of organized labor. The United Mine Workers have only about 30,000 mem- bers in the state, but labor there is as strong for industrial unionism as anywhere. This means that most of its voters will follow the lead of John L. Lewis, who is strong for Roosevelt. Furthermore, Ohio experts declare Roosevelt will get the bulk of the Townsend vote and the Coughlin vote. Ohio, with 26 electoral votes, is described oftener than any other; state as “pivotal.” } * * Ok What'll Mr, Borah Do? Senator Borah’s defeat by old guard Republicans of Ohio proves beyond all question that his campaign for the presidential nomination is futile, since the popular support which he sought in his war against “monopoly” and party bosses just hasn't material- ized. That means that the issue as to Borah boils down simply to the ques- tion whether there is any possibility that the Idaho senator will bolt the party ticket after the convention and, if there is, how high a price he would demand and how high a price the convention's dominating forces would pay to keep him on the reservation. x * ® Aid for Roosevelt Sought counter-pressure is being exerted by convince Borah that Landon doesn’t Looking at Washington (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) that docs the employing. In other Washington, June 3.—Two supreme words there can be no discrimination You will be fairly safe in assuming the truth of rumors that the senator already has been approached in the interests of the Roosevelt ticket. But the Landon group, which seeks to tribunals—the highest federal court and the highest court in New York state—divided,5 to 4 in declaring a state minimum wage law invalid, yet the moral of the case is not that the judges themselves differed in their concepts of social justice but in their appraisal of what a clumsily written as between sexes, especially since men and women come into competition in many lines of trade and occupational endeavor. Also, it is apparent that the ques- tion of what constitutes a living wage or a subsistence wage must be ap- proached more definitely from the law really meant. | ‘It Can’t Happen Here’ ra OBOE Lee TR eocccee.

Vol 100, No. 8) Dr. William Dameshek said: “The results of treatment with inorganic iron are indeed strik- ing. The patient usually experiences on the third or fourth day a marked sense of well being and suddenly acquires a marked appe- tite; this often becomes ravenous. There is almost immediate and rapid gain in weight . . . The sensation of weakness and dyspnea, the soreness of the tongue and the gastro-intestinal disturbances rapidly disappear . . . the tongue.

It is difficult to believe that iron alone could bring about such sud- den improvement; but from analogy it is easy to think that increased as- similation of vitamins might account for such results. The prompt improve- ment that occurs in cases of scurvy when vitamin C is given and in cases of night-blindness when vitamin A is given are instances of the immediate remedial effect of vitamins. Approximately one-fourth of a grain of-iron a day will supply all the iron the healthy body needs. This amount is readily obtained in ordinary helpings of such foods as egg yolk, lettuce, dried beans, plain wheat, wheat bran, oatmeal, dried prunes, beef, = Sapetiined spinach, dandelion greens, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, currants, 5 ‘The purpose of the large doses of iron given for hypochromic anemia is not to put so much iron in the blood, for of course that does not happen.

(Miss G. R.) Answer—Blemish is a vague term, but I assume you mean blackheads and pimples, which doctors call acne. Some people refer to this as “break- ing out,” some call it “eruption” and some call it “blemishes.” Many other conditions may be described by these vague terms. If you mean you have pimples and blackheads or acne send a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for instructions. A certain amount of acne is more or less physiological in the ‘teens.

The} Breckinridge vote there can be largely attributed to anti-New Deal senti-| ment inherited from the late Gover- | nor Ritchie and preserved by Senator Tydings; the apathy of the party machine at primary time; and the persistent slashing attacks on the New Deal by Frank Kent and H. L. Mencken in the Baltimore Sun. Maryland may be considered @ doubtful state, but the Republicans will have a Roosevelt 1932 vote of 314,000 to 184,000 for Hoover to over- turn. * * * Not a Hoover Boost Interpretations of the victory of the Ohio G. O. P. ticket backed by former Postmaster General Walter Brown and State Chairman Ed Schorr as strengthening Hoover's position at the convention should be taken with a saline solution. Most clear-headed Politicians still discount the probable Hoover influence and none suspected any possibility of his nomination, even before his announcement that he was not a candidate. It's believed here that Brown and Schorr, controlling the bulk of Ohio delegates, will leap onto the first ve- hicle at Cleveland which looks like a bandwagon. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)
