Gilding the Lily wher TO most citizens the report of the tax survey commission, lips . which it makes ponderous declaration that taxes are too high ae view of economic conditions in this area, is a good deal like Inilding a lily. gest We already knew that. What we hope the tax survey body terfejll do before it finishes its labors is to tell us HOW taxes may nare> reduced. Specifically, it should follow up its initial state- menent with detailed information as to what governmental serv- dentes may be eliminated or curtailed, to what extent and why. depance the commission is composed of intelligent men it prob- of sly will do this. the One phase of its preliminary report, however, presents a not coblem which seems to defy solution. f flict That has to do with the cost of educating children who are ane burden on the taxpayer while in their dependent years but ho leave the state and fail to become taxpayers themselves when they reach maturity. The number who do so is estimated impt about seven per cent. emp One solution seems feasible. That is to make conditions andere so attractive that young people will find opportunity for Folivancement in their native state and will not NEED to go away N. Eom home when they become self-supporting. The suggestion *@ay seem a little ridiculous but it would do no harm to try it nd it might even help the state. Certainly we need the “vigor- us and resourceful” offspring of North Dakota parents as much do other states. The only other alternative, to get rid of them by some Jeans or other, seems a little cruel. And besides how could we vtermine, while they still were at a tender age, which ones ‘ere going to stay, and thereby justify the cost of their educa- on, and which ones were going to leave and thus put poor {d North Dakota in the status of holding the sack. However, that problem ‘may solve itself. If it doesn’t it robably would be just as well to go on giving our children all ae education we can afford or they can absorb in the hope that aey will not be quite as foolish as this generation has been. | On only one phase of the commission’s report is there cause or active disagreement. The source of this discord is the decla-| ation that “conditions are not what they used to be and, what s more, they probably never will be.” As to what the commission SAYS there is no argument, ut if it means to infer that North Dakota is always going to be n the rocks—and hanging on to those only by its fingernails— > is very much mistaken. We have the resources and we have the brains. All we eed to do is to apply the brains to the resources, add a lot of ood honest sweat, and a liberal amount of determination, then eason with imagination and we will prove the tax survey com- iission to have been wrong. | Hey! You | Traffic cops have long since learned to speak gently when | anding out tickets for violations of the rules. The modern copper” can smile when presenting a summons to court just s graciously as though he were inviting you to dinner. No doubt it is an improvement. Still there is something 0 be said for the old-fashioned guardian of the peace who stuck ut his chin and roared at the not-so-innocent motorist like a ‘on with a sore paw. For he, at least, gave the impression that raffic law violations are a serious matter—and they are. Any- ne who was dumb enough to miss the point after an old-time bawling out” had to be a dimwit indeed. Now we try a softer, gentler process of education and it sh’t working too well, as witness the increasing toll of fatal nishaps. And that the driver is to blame in most cases no one an doubt. Analysis of the causes of motor accidents, in cases where hey can be determined accurately, shows that in most cases the 1uman factor was to blame. In some others the road was held o be at fault. The only indictment of the automobile as a echanism was that it is too superior and too powerful a device o be managed by an inferior mentality. All of us are familiar with the processes of self-accusa- jon, for nearly everyone has done things which he knew in his were not particularly bright. In such cases he will have say to himself the things which the old-fashioned traffic cop ed to say with so much fervor. Great Medicine To Aldous Huxley, great modern novelist, must be given it for calling attention to the necessity for the human spirit take time out every now and then and indulge in a good laugh. i Discussing the state of the world, Huxley suggested the other day that “a little ruthless laughter clears the air as nothing aise can do. It is good, every now and then, for solemnity’s nose so be tweaked ; for human pomposity to be made to look ridic- 40 |. Nearly everyone has had experiences which point the truth of this well-phrased moral, for while laughter often is a little bit it also is refreshing.

Quast to Rotarians Part of the \redit for the rising price level on products of agriculture, grazing and fruit raising was claimed | Wednesday for the WPA_ surplus commodities division by A. W. Quast, state director of this phase of the federal government’s-relief program. Speaking at the regular noon luncheon of the Bismarck Rotary club, Quast explained how in 1932 and 1933 before the organization of the surplus commodities division, prices were so low that farmers and fruit growers could not afford to har- vest their crops.

Editor, Tribune: I am glad to see proposals under way to improve the lakes and water ways of the state. Meteorology is not as yet a very ac- curate science but nevertheless there are certain fundamental principles which are definitely settled. One of them is that there is greater rainfall in the vicinity of bodies of water than there is over dry land which is ata distance from bodies of water. An- other is that rainfall is proportional to the humidity of the atmosphere over a given area rather than other accidental conditions. In other words, it is necessary to get moisture into the clouds before you can get rainfall out of them. Another factor which is not sd generally understood is that moisture in the air in the form of cloud cur- tains tends to protect the soll and earth from the intense rays of the summer sun. Therefore, if there is moisture enough to form clouds, there is not so much probability of burning hot days. , North Dakota has very few natur- al lakes or bodies of water. There- fore, it is necessary to create some artificial bodies to take the place of the natural waters. Another thing whose economic im- portauce is not sufficiently realized \is that if the snow waters which run down from the Rockies every year in the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers were entirely conserved and dumped form of rain, .it would soon bring the over the state of North Dakota in the| cases. wealthiest states in the union, be- cause experience has shown that it is no trouble to get 30 to 35 bushels to an acre crops of wheat in North Da- kota and other crops in proportion when the moisture conditjons are right, while on the other hand, in re- cent years, instead of having these larger crops, a great many farmers have lost all their forage and have been obliged to apply to relief agen- cies to enable them to overcome the natural deficiencies of rainfall. Some persons grumble over the ex- pense of the Missouri diversion which ig estimated at from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000. According to government statistics the United States advanced easily seen that the Missouri diver- sion program would pay for itself in five years. Unfortunately in the past we have been too much inclined to leave na- ture alone. This is not Possible under the existing drouth conditions. It is all right for dogs and cattle to leave nature alone but intelligent men study the proctsses of nature and endeavor to adapt the resources which nature has provided to the service of man and not permit the natural resources to be wasted. In the past we have permitted enormous resources of wa- ter to be wasted in flowing down the Missouri to create flood hazards in the lower Mississippi. If this surplus volume of water had been spread over the state in the form of rainfall it would have added immensely to our agricultural yields and turned a great many of our agricultural deficits into surplus and made the state of North Dakota a better and happier state in which to live. Very truly yours, James M. Witherow. ONE VIEW OF RELIEF ‘ . Wing, N. D., Aug. 9, 1936. Editor, Tribune: In a recent issge of The Tribune there was an article about the relief problem, asking what the welfare board should do in certain individual It would require too much space to state up to the stage of one of the Looking at the Campaign quarters was in a@ state of confusion and that, while Chairman John D. M. Hamilton -had been the coun- try, the all-important job of getting an organization going was being very much neglected. Inquiry here confirms these impres- jsions. I find that, while there is nesday announced this government's! great admiration for the work of | stimulating morale which Mr. Ham- ilton is doing so effectively by visiting local chairmen, he seems to have been a good deal of a disappointment hus far as an organizer. This may be unpleasant news to Republicans and rather joyful news for the Democrats, but it is a re- porter’s duty to set forth the trend of he battle, irrespective of which side helps or hurts. There are, of course, two major factors in a national campaign. One jhas to do with the strategy or \speeches of the candidate and the other has to do with the precinct or- ganizations far and wide. In this {campaign, the Republicans are sorely in need of intensive local organiza- tion work. Mr. Farley has been busy \for three long years building nation- {ally an organization which is almost jas well-knit as the Tammany ma- chine in New York. Jim Farley told me the other day he expected to make very few speeches, but to sit at the headquarters desk. And to his credit as a political general it must be said he is one of those rare indi- viduals who know how to run a na |tional political organization with al- most the same ease as if it were & county operation. The president may ‘or may not appreciate it, but, with dim Farley in command he need not worry a bit about campaign organ- ization. Mr. Hamilton has had a good deal of publicity. Some of his speeches have been effective, not only because they were aggressive but because he seemed to strike at New Deal weaknesses. But it is beginning to be said in quarters not at all friendly to the New Deal and just as interested in Republican success as is Mr. Hamilton that the jnational chairman is overdoing the | speech-making. Whatever the merits of that aspect, |the fact remains that, while Mr. Ham- ilton has been away from headquar- ters, there has been little cohesion and lots of lost motion. In the last few days it is understood that the situa- tion became so clearly a matter for prompt adjustment that Chairman Hamilton decided to bring in an office executive to develop a better admin- istrative mechanism. He selected Ar- thur A. Ballantine of New York, whom he gave the title of assistant to the. | “Overnis Overnight there has been a notice- able improvement in the morale of the headquarters, though it is appar- ent real progress will not be made ti! the chairman himself gets back the job and begins to find out that folks with political experience in various states have been unable to things decided at Chicago’ and hat been trying to find out how they could get the necessary nation- Fal EEE C ERE Flas ie Te People’s Forum, therefore I will lay down a few general rules which I be- Neve necessary for the just adminis- tration of relief. 1, The case of every adult of sound mind should be considered individual- ly and not in connection with rela- tives or friends. 2.

She was to return with him well before noon, and in the meantime Crest Mountain Lodge was a beehive of activity. San- dra’s friends delightedly decorated the big main room of the lodge with fir boughs, and strips of col- ored paper which the lodgekeep- er’s wife resurrected. More excited than any were , Peter Henderson and Helena. For the most part they kept close to their respective rooms, trembling against the time when Sandra! would return with the minister. Several times Helena, stricken by sudden panic, debated whether to escape to the station. Suppose it was all a horrible mistake? There were a hundred things that could happen. She might discover that Peter was improvident and given to drink; for Helena had heard that these evils often went with charm. And she might learn—too late—that Peter was one of those men who found all women attrac- Leigh’s: “No woman can resist that charm of his. . . .” What had she meant by that? outfits: one hiking through the and a sports outfit adaptable to whatever informal affair might take place. i Hl socseoocosoros $eesceccccccccccoooososossorrrrs Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

Other weeds or plants’ which may cause late summer or early autumn pollinosis are sage, Russian thistle, lamb’s quarters, Amaranths and English plantain. In 95 cent of cases daily injection of glycerin extract of the pollen to which the individual is sensitive, beginning with a homeopathic dose and gradually increasing the dose for two weeks before the beginning of the patient’s usualy season, will prevent all symptoms or give marked relief throughout the season. ‘This method is called immunological treatment, but it is home ithic net less.

An adquate daily ration of vitamin D is essential for the metabolism or utilization of calcium. The most economical vitamin D concentrate available provides 300 units to the drop, is virtually tasteless, and may be taken in five to ten drop doses daily (infants are given five to ten drops daily to Prevent rickets). i 5 g i Ee for symptomatic relief is well known to most pollinosis sufferers. Many sufferers have assured me that they find plain boric acid solution —a rounded teaspoonful of boric acid dissolved in a point of boiled water, used agreeably warm, many times a day, both as nasal spray and as gargle, gives much comfort. I believe it is at least harmless in any case. QUOSSTIONS AND ANSWERS * Brittle Nails’ Kindly tell me why my finger nails are brittle. Is it because a certain chemical is lacking in my body? ... (Mrs. G. C. R.) Answer—Insufficient data to warrant a guess. Often faulty nutrition is a cause of pitted, ridged, spooned or brittle nails. Chiefly insufficient vitamins. You may find helpful suggestions in booklet “Building Vitality.” For copy send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address. Ask also for monograph “What to Eat,” and lay in a peck of plain wheat, tor you're going to need it. Not a few houses in our neighborhood have lead pipe in the water line, especially at bends. The water supply is purified with chlorine. I wonder if that wouldn’t tend to dissolve lead—lead chloride is quite soluble—and whether this might not be a source of chronic lead poisoning? ... (W. I. H.) Answer—Sounds reasonable. Lead poisoning from such source has occurred in England, Germany and in Massachusetts. You will find in- formation in Rosenau’s “Preventive Medicine and Hygiene” (Appleton) which book should be in the public library. (Copyright, 1936, John F. Dille Co.)

Girls get minute—and live. It’s the bride- groom who really needs a drink. He takes all the responsibility.” he dived from its topmost branch.
