These are the lads who have been blessed by Providence with vast sums of money, but who have been unaccountably cheated in the matter of a sense of ordinary decent behavior. The chronicling of their antics may provide interesting fare for those people who move their lips when they read, but it is also a standing invitation to the disinherited to rise up and raise cain. Prize exhibit these days is a gentleman (as any man who owns a million dollars or more is entitled to call himself) named ‘Tommy Manville. Manville inherited heaven knows how much money from an industrious forebear who made a serviceable and saleable variety of roofing. Having inherited the money, he seems bent on proving that large fortunes ought not, in the public interest, 4o descend to people who have done nothing to earn them. Out at New Rochelle, N. Y., Manville has a 40-room house and a wife who used to be in the Follies, and the combination A veteran of the divorce courts, he recently offered the lady $100,000 to go to Reno and get what people go to Reno for. She went there, but they both changed their minds; so she came back and they had some sort of reconciliation. Ever since then Manville has been trying to get her out of Policemen have been called to the scene. has been thrown, names have been called, and a meaningless domestic row has gone on and on until it is impossible to read about it without feeling slightly seasick. Now the point of it all is that this playboy type of man—the completely irresponsible spender with a huge fortune which he isn’t fit to possess—is the most disturbing kind of public nuis- ance America harbors today. Not only does this kind of person give decent citizens a pain in the neck; he provides ammunition for every agitator in the land. He furnishes abundant data for any demagog who wants the rich, as a class, taxed to the point of extinction. A rich person owes something to his country; at the very least, he owes it the kind of behavior that will not make people discontented with the very idea of riches. America today has “society people” who indorse plumbing and bedding for pay; it has Vanderbilts who throw mud at each other in a squabble over the custody of a little girl; and it has Manvilles who chase chorus girl-wives about 40-room mansions and squawk for the police to come and take a hand in the game. All in all, the picture is pretty disturbing. They Want a Drink, Too Alarmed are Bismarck tree lovers as they view browning foliage in yards and gardens.

Only those who have lived in North Dakota for years can appreciate the struggle of householder and gardener to keep alive seedlings or young trees that have been set out to battle dry soil and arid atmosphere. Trees do not grow readily on the uplands. courses they thrive. Upland trees must have water brought to them in their younger years if they are to survive or spring to maturity during years of normal rainfall. Last year’s above normal precipitation gave many a young tree in shelterbelt, nursery or lawn a good start. But this year they must struggle with their older brothers and sisters for moisture that is deep in the ground. They must have water if they are to survive. For only a few cents hundreds of cubic feet of water can be fed the thirsty tree roots if householders will take the time. Water charges are negligible in comparison to cost of replacing Why not drag a nozzleless hose to the base of your thirsty trees tonight and give them a drink? : Lawyers to the Bar The problem of the shyster lawyer has long confronted the American bar. From time to time efforts have been launched to outlaw this outlaw type of attorney, but for the most part the accomplishments have been negligible. It is, therefore, refreshing to observe that the state of Michigan has put into practice in its newly integrated state bar, a weapon apparently adequate to clean up the shyster. In a word, the Michigan integrated bar provides that any person may enter a complaint against an attorney to any mem- ber of the bar. From that point the complaint is handled through grievance committees, and finally, if the charge has| (Copyright, 1936, NEA , grounds, the attorney is tried publicly before three circuit judges appointed by the state presiding judge. If found guilty of a breach of ethics, punishment for the attorney may range to permanent disbarment. Bandied about for many years by the Michigan legisla- ture, the new measure is described by the state bar as providing “nearest approach to a politically free system” possible under Amsarican law. sient HN is Behied Scenes Washington Steel Warfare Will Rage in Washing- ton as Well as in Mill Centers... Roosevelt and Federal Agencies Are Vitally Concerned. . . What the Setup Is in Capital. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 31—This is the GHQ of the great effort of John L. Lewis and his followers to organize the five-billion-dollar steel industry. It is also the seat of as sympathetic & government as ever watched a major industrial conflict develop in America. If you want togfollow the Battle of Steel blow by blow, you will have to train your telescope on Washington as often as you turn it to the actual firing line. You will have to watch the quarters “Jot the Committee for Industrial Or- ganization, the handsome offices of Lewis and the powerful United Mine Workers two blocks away, and the American Federation of Labor build- ing, where an executive council has pondered whether it dared suspend any or all the 12 C. I. O. unions, with their 1,250,000 members. And you will have to watch the White House and half a dozen federal agencies where what happens to the C. I. O. in its struggles with both the steel corporations and the A. F. of L. craft unions is a matter of intense concern. ~* 8 * May Change History Course Steel is the industry on which our machine civilization rests. It is the most powerful foe of organized labor, Its defeat would bring labor victories in all mass production in- dustries—and probably a turn in his- tory. Not only does the C. I. O. drive in steel and other industries tie in closely with the political campaign; success of this demand by labor for an economic and political voice may influence the trend of events for decades. Already it is common talk that the C. I. O,, if it lives, wili be the nucleus for a strong labor or farmer- labor party in 1940. For this year, however, there is a close alliance between John Lewis and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Lewis sat in at the White House on the Demo- cratic platform plank for labor. In Washington and in Pennsyl- vania, Lewis, who is nobody’s humble lieutenant, is using the Democratic Politicians. And they are using him. New Deal strategists think they have @ fine chance in Pennsylvania. Steel, pitching the key for Big Business in its relations with labor, is the outstanding target of those who would translate Roosevclt’s at- tacks on “economic royalists” literally and specifically. Oppose Near-Future Strike Nevertheless, Roosevelt wants no steel strike before November. Neither, apparently does Lewis. There is some fear that the industry will precipitate hostilities, not only for political ef- fect, but in the hope of strangling the organization drive in its in- farfcy. Nor does Roosevelt want to see & complete split between C. I. O. and the craft unions, for there is reason to fear that many right wingers in the labor movement might then turn against him. The C. I. O. is the heart and soul of Labor’s Nonpartisan League, which, under George Berry, is now signing up central labor unions over the country to work for Roosevelt. « The Setup in Washington Now let's look around official Wash- ington and get the idea why steel drive leaders expect both practical and psychological aid from the capital in days to come. We find: 1—The LaFollette Senate sub-com- mittee, directed to investigate viola- tions of civil liberties, labor espion- age, and interference with the right to organize. This group will pay special attention to troubles in the steel industry and will try to expose the industry's anti-labor tactics. C. I. O. leaders expect to find reason to demand that even such directing geniuses as President -Eugene Grace of the American Iron & Steel Insti- tute and J. P. Morgan be brought be- fore the committee. 2.—The National Labor Relations Board, whose duty is to enforce the Wagner act guaranteeing labor's right to organize and bargain collectively— an act which the steel industry de- fies, 3.—The Department whose officials are sympathetic to the C. I. O. movement and who will vo- against labor organizers and union converts, 4.—The Department of Justice, now engaged in an investigation of collu- sive bidding by steel well as monopoly in the industry.

Coughlin was not “brought up or discussed” during an audience with Pope Pius. The bishop made the statement im- mediately ‘after he had seen the holy father. Previously he had said he would not bring up the Coughlin matter. Pope Pius, the bishop said, sent his blessing to the clergy and people of Detroit and expressed hope that “amidst universal troubles, America may stand as a nation of peace and may decide controversial questions by ballot, not by bullets.” He issued a written statement which, making no reference to Father Coughlin, said: “I prefer to give a written state- ment after My audience with the Holy Father because I want my thoughts to be faithfully expressed, as I often have experienced some misrepresen- tation of my words. .. “My audience with the Holy Father was wholly satisfactory. His holiness was delighted with the report I made on conditions in the diocese of Detroit and with very paternal affection he sent his blessing to the clergy and Catholic people of my diocese, especi- ally to all activities of charity and the 00 | Catholic Action Society...” 'ALDERMEN’S OUSTER IS UPHELD IN COURT Hettinger Councilmen Removed Because of Statutory Dis- 3 qualifications The North Dakota supreme court today upheld District Judge John C.

THE FIRST MONTH IS THE HARDEST It is especially important to follow instructions in the first nursing the baby, for it is then that habits are established and in the first month that most complications are likely to occur. Simple soap and water cleanliness of baby’s face and hands, and of mother’s hands and breast, maintained by careful washing before each ae is the best precaution against inflammation, “caking,” abscess of e breast. The baby should nurse about half the time from each breast, not one breast one time and the other the next. If any milk remains after the baby is through nursing, 1; should be gently expressed, for complete emptying of the breast is a better stimulus to lactation and the secretion of rich milk. At no time, and especially at the beginning of lactation, should the breast be pumped, massaged or treated with any medication in salve or lini- ment. When anything is wrong only the advice of the physician should be followed. A great deal of grief comes to young mothers who follow the well-meant but mischievous advice of neighbors or relatives. As a rule the woman's health, comfort and “figure” are all best pre- served if no support or brassiere is used. However, if a support gives comfort and does not make pressure it may be worn for a short while. Remember, such supports tend to substitute flabbiness for firmness later on. In any acute illness or acute inflammation it is generally better to continue regular nursing, at least until otherwise instructed by the physician. The Last Week is Easiest You Know ‘Wean the baby at the age of eight or nine months. Long before that the baby should be accustomed to taking either a supplementary feeding or water perhaps containing his daily ration of tomato juice or orange juice. Weaning in such circumstances becomes a simple process which is com- pleted in a week or ten days at the outside, by giving one less breast feed- ing every day or every second day, and gradually substituting bottle feedings. When the process is finished, leave the breasts severely alone. Wear a light supporter or brassiere. Take a bottle of magnesium citrate solution or any other brisk saline laxative, and do not again handle, rub or apply anything to the breasts. The secretion remaining in the breasts can cause no trouble—but interference can cause a great deal of trouble. Worst of all is reverting to occasional nursing after the weaning process is completed. The application of medicaments purporting to “dry up” the breasts is futile or harmful. The phase of the moon or the signs of the zodiac need not concern the intelligent woman who wishes to wean her baby. It the baby has not been accustomed to taking food from the bottle, it is better not to use a bottle at all, but feed from cup and spoon daily. Offer food at the regular feeding or nursing time. If the baby refuses it, take it away and do not offer it again until next regular meal time. Some ables hold out for 24 to 86 hours, but all finally accept the sad fate of life and take up eating in the regular fashion, if mother or grandma does not weaken and give in @Md spoil everything. No serious trouble ever occurs from “starvation” when the baby refuses food in such circumstances. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Bad Breath What is the chemical you recommend for bad breath? . .. (R. D.) Answer—A 1 per cent solution of chloramine as a mouth wash half a dozen times daily. Or say dissolve one chloramine tablet in a wineglassful of water and use as mouth wash. Resuscitation T would like to put a copy of your practical resuscitation booklet in the hands of each member of my first aid class... (R. P. O.)

He works out doors, is 35 years old, @ inches tall, weighs 137 pounds, I think he should not eat so many eggs. oo. (Mrs, F.

And I know no reason why one who can eat egg, milk and cheese ‘and butter should or should not eat more, though laymen and some old time physicians have many odd ideas about this.
