Liquor Regulations When city and county officials meet here Thursday to con- sider local regulations for the newly legalized liquor business in North Dakota, they will have before them the recommendation of those who propose to engage in the business. Such items as license fecs, hours of operation, policing and tictailed regulations come properly before the city and county fathers and are deserving of ‘eful consideration. While the views of men who expect to engage in the busi- ness should be considered, all possible weight should be given te the public interest, All parties concerned will benefit in the end if this is made the controlling factor in all decisions. In this connection, The Tribune wishes to point out one item in the program advanced by the prospective liquor mer- chants with which it disagre That is the proposal to permit, the operation of saloons from 6 a, m, to 2 a, m. In The Tribune's view, such a regulation would operate to cast early discredit upon the business and eventually do it much harm. It would seem much more reasonable and better public policy to fix a closing hour not later than midnight. Much grief for many persons would be averted thereby. But whatever the regulations, this newspaper wishes to say now that it will do all in its power to see that they are en- forced. For only by strict enforcement of the laws will condi- tions be improved and the agitation which has so long marked | the liquor question be kept in abeyance. S. Practicing the Preachment | Because it is one of the crying ills of our times, newspapers everywhere have joined in safety campaigns. Editorials, cartoons and news stories have dinned into the minds of people the fact that safety on the highways, while it has many angles, is a question of individual responsibility. And while they have been doing that the newspapers also have been compiling a record of highway safety which may well be the envy of private citizens. A survey by the National Highway Users’ Conference dis- closes that, while newspapers are big users of the streets and roads, their vehicles are rarely involved in accidents. Because of the nature of the business, newspaper vehicles must travel speedily. Schedules are figured to the minute, not only in the editorial and mechanical departments, but in the circulation service. Newspaper managers know that few things are so dead as a newspaper which fails to arrive when the cus- tomer is disposed to read it. At the same time, their constant editorial interest in high- way safety has forced them to become “safety demonstrators” for their areas. To preach one thing and practice the opposite is too glaring a contrast for anyone to countenance. The result has brought a reduction in the number of acci- dents involving newspaper-owned vehicles at a time when both the number of vehicles and the general accident rate were increasing. It has brought down insurance rates, which once were almost prohibitive for this class of vehicle, and it has saved both lives and property. The methods, as usually is the case, are simple enough. {They consist of careful selection of drivers, constant control, rewards for accident-free drivers, elimination of accident-prone drivers, careful inspection of cquipment and a liberal use of common sense. The result has been of marked benefit to both newspapers and the public. It has enabled the daily newspapers to score circulation increases, to improve service to subscribers, to re- duce the volume of handling and to generally increase efficiency. There was a time when drivers of vehicles for newspapers dashed through the streets harum-scarum. Accidents were common. But now the newspapers are practicing what they preach +-AND IT WORKS. The Need for Intellects “Still they gazed and still the wonder grew That one small head could carry all he knew.” —Goldsmith’s “Deserted Village.” Human ego being what it is, the above quotation from Goldsmith has long been taken as a sly dig at the English schoolmaster whose status in the community is thus described, vut now we have it on no less an authority than H. W. Dodds, president of Princeton university, that one of the greatest drawbacks to the further advance of knowledge is the inability of “one small head” to hold all the knowledge related to a single field of endeavor. . Thus we find him reporting to his trustees that “the sig- nificant discoveries of the next generation will be in the twilight zones of recognized compartments of scholarship today. For this service intellects of great sweep and penetration will be required.” The reason, he explains, is that present-day learning and research are so highly specialized that few, if any, have been able to “master those elusive and unknown interrelations of classified knowledge which are still largely a closed book.” What he is getting at is that, if one brain were to en- compass all the knowledge in the humanities and sciences, it gould evolve information and processes of great value; that we must apply to each classification of knowledge what has been fearned in all other classifications. Our modern institutions of learning are heading in that Girection, as distinguished from those courses which tell men tthe arts and practices of earning a living. The real need is for _ “intellects of great sweep and penetration.” There always has THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1936 Scenes Washington Green's Trial Fun for Lewis, But It's No Jest for Head of A. F. of L.... Hopkins Is Too Smart to Sound Off... Labor Will Be in Spotlight for Next Few Months, Behind the By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washigton Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 18.—One of the reasons John L, Lewis and the United Mine Workers are citing President Bill Green of the American Federa- tion of Labor for trial is that this ts one of Lewis's ideas of having fun. Another reason is that Lewis, in the great battle between the Committee tor Industrial Organization and the federation, believes it’s good tactics to harass the enemy. And still another reason is that Lewis was more than willing to ex- pose the phoniness of persistent re- ports of peace negotiations and prac- tically close the door against any compromise gestures from the A, F. of L. conyention at Tampa, where the C. I. O, unions will not be repre- sented. Mr. Green may not be in as silly a Position as the C. I. O. leaders pri- vately insist he is, but his position is extremely peculiar just the same. It is even more peculiar since he was cited for trial than it was be- fore. Mr. Green must be a member of an A. F. of L. union to be an A, F. of L, officer. He is a member of the United Mine Workers, but that union bas been suspended from the federa- tion by Mr Green and other members of the federation’s executive council and the chances are that it will soon be expelled. ee *% Green's on the Spot Question as to Mr. Green's eligibil- ity to be president continues to be raised. Now the U. M, W. comes TOO DUMB? TOO SMART! Administrator Harry Hopkins of WPA used to get sore about once & month at his press conferences, which usually meant a good story. Gradually he has become more re- strained and relatively imperturb- able. “Secretary of Commerce Roper says the WPA people aren't smart. enough to take an unemployment census,” said a correspondent. “What have you got to say about that?” “I'm too smart to comment on ”" Hopkins replied. along to point out that, as far as it is concerned, Mr. Green is just an ordinary union member and ac- cuses him of conspiring against, working against, and maligning his own union. Subsequently, it is believed, he will be ordered to “cease and desist” and the eventual upshot is expected to be his expulsion from the mine workers’ organization. All of which makes the task of Mr. Green no less painful at the Tampa convention. There are craft union heads whose gratitude to Green for his fight for their cause is so great that they would just love to boot him out and take his job for themselves. Whether the latest Lewis move wili encourage such an attempt is uncer- tain, In any event it makes it just that much harder to bring any peace between the two labor factions and it may have the effect of disrupting solidarity and morale among the craft unions, * * * Labor to Hold Spotlight Like it or not, there'll be more and more labor news in succeeding months. The A. F. of L. convention probably will be the most important in its history. The C. I. O. is going into high gear in its campaign to organize workers in the mass production industries Congress will have requests for some| * very important labor legislation, in- cluding wage and hour bills. Meanwhile, Senator LaFollette’s committee investigating labor spies and civil liberties violations will re- sume ts spectacular hearings in De- cember and a good performance may be expected, because the committee wants to make a good showing prior to its request for a large appropria- tion with which to continue its work. Labor policies of one of the two big- gest automobile corporations, one of the great rubber corporations, and a big steel corporation will be on the pan. The committee probably also will get around to the Burns detective agency. After operating to date on a shoe- string appropriation of $15,000 the La- Follette committee plans to ask for $100,000. Nature of the recent elec- tion returns was such that its chances for getting such a sum are considered rather good. Among other things, the committee is investigating activities of the Black Legion. But the results of that in- vestigation, if any, are for the time being kept a deep secret .

Avoid the Consta: To nt Tightening of Belts MAYGE WE BETTER ISSUE A DECREE COMPELLING EVERYe ONE TO WEAR SUSPENDERS VA (inal 2 3 (ty = +- With Other ANOTHER PROHIBITION HARD TO ENFORCE (Chicago Tribune) The president last Friday told a press conference that he had directed the treasury department, the federal reserve board of governors and the security commission to make studies of the extent of recent foreign buy- ing of American securities. The dan- ger is, as the president said, that aliens may at any time become nerv- ous about their money here, sell their securities and withdraw gold. The amount of foreign money here is s0 vast that even our two billion dollar exchange stabilization fund is not adequate to cope with it. A collapse of 1929 proportions might be precip!- tated by a sudden liquidation by for- eign stockholders. Foreign money has no doubt played an important part in the rise in se- curity prices this year, and in par- ticular since the election. This is evi- dent because the advance of the past. year there has been no correspond- ing increase in brokers’ loans or in loans by banks on securities directly to customers. Nor has there been a drawing down of bank balances. Since securities go up only because money obtained somewhere is used to buy them, it is a logical inference that the; | Stocks.

At present banks and brokers can advance for their customers only 45 per cent of the mar- ket value of listed securities. The rest must be supplied by the customer. A 55 per cent margin is far beyond the requirements of safety in a market @s liquid as the New York Stock ex- change. In the past a 20 per cent mar- gin has generally proved adequate, and a 25 per cent margin was leaning over backwards. Despite an unprece- dented fall in security prices in 1929 these low margin standards proved sufficient to insure the safety of all brokers’ loans. The present 55 per cent margin rule has tended to dis- courage speculation, and it has un- questionably cut down the volume of trading. With vast excess banking reserves created by the unbalanced budgets and devaluation, speculation had to be discouraged or markets would have gotten out of hana. The 55 per cent rule has, however resulted in driving abroad sound security loans, badly needed by the New York and Chicago banks. This outcome proves again that when a speculative opportunity is cre- ated speculators will find the means to take advantage of it. Bootleg stock loans and nervous money will find a way of getting over here, and it is doubtful that a successful method can be devised to prevent that from happening. When a thirst for alco- holic refreshments persisted despite prohibition bootleg liquor was brought across the Canadian border. And when a patrol was placed on the border Americans went to Windsor and other border towns for what they wanted. If the importation of foreign money to be invested in American stocks is prohibited the actual trading may be transferred to another country. If the money cannot be had here from the ordinary sources it will be fetched here from Windsor. And if the money cannot be fetched here the Americans will go to Windsor to trade in a man- ner here forbidden. Prohibitions on speculation are going to prove as dif- ficult of enforcement as prohibition of drinking. ° > | SOTHEYSAY | 3 Cheer leading gives girls a chance to express themselves and trains them in leadership, It is ladylike and mod- ern.

STORIES IN. STAMPS By I. S. Klein HE islands that are were ruled by independent chiefs, late in the 18th century, when powerful Kamehameha, son of a Kohala chieftain, raised a large army, loaded his men into a fleet of war canoes, and set out to capture the independent islands. By 1800 he was chief of the island group, a fierce and un- relenting ruler. The subordinate chiefs of the islands bowed down to him and murmured not a word when it pleased the great king to kick and cuff them. He whipped his sev- eral wives, at times, and he or- Geréd death to anyone who defied him. Kamehameha was a pagan ruler and never heard of Christianity, for not until a year after his death, in 1819, did the first mis- spread Christian ideals through statue erected in his memory in Honolulu.

CHIROPODY OR PODIATRY The modern chiropodist is required by law to have an adequate training for his work. The young man or young woman who desires to practice chir- opody or podiatry must furnish evidence of having completed a regular four- year high school course, and then must attend a recognized school of chir- opody or podiatry covering one school year of not less than eight months, and finally pass an examination to obtain a license from the state. Finally the law requires that the chiropodist or podiatrist shall register this license with the county clerk or other designated authority in the community where he or she engages in practice. Unregistered persons who practice podiatry oF chiropody are subject to prosecution. This recognition and regulation of the practice of chiropody is a safety precaution. The public in the past has been unwary in submitting to the care of unqualified persons who held themselves out as being capable of car- ing for and treating ailments of the feet. Some schools give podiatry courses far above the minimum requirements above described for practitioners who desire to make themselves more effi- clent and capable. Graduates of such podiatry schools are scientifically qualified to treat foot troubles of any kind. They are not in competition with physicians but rather cooperate with the physician for the best interest of the patient. The public should learn to distinguish the qualified chiropodist or podiatrist from the trick “foot specialist.” e The qualified chiropodist or podiatrist understands and applies the principles of asepsis in his or her work, and the quack does not. This may not mean much to the uninitiated layman but it is the difference between safety and septicemia (“blood-poisoning”) following minor surgical treat- ment of the foot. \ At least in the forty-two commonwealths im the United States where the practice of podiatry (chiropody) is regulated by law, it behooves the layman to make certain the chiropodist (podiatrist) he purposes to consult is a duly registered licensed practitioner and not just a clerk, salesman or mechanic with large pretentions. One commendable result of the higher standards promoted by these bet- ter schools of chiropody is that the people are learning to give the feet bet- a care in health and their feet are certainly rceiving better treatment in ase, Even today a good many physicians are pretty helpless when confronted. with complaints of such ailments as corns, bunions, weak feet, flat feet, etc., but now that well trained podiatrists (chiropodists) are to be found in every large community it doesn’t matter so much. Whether your interest is in beauty, comfort or efficiency, it pays to take good care of the feet.
