Co-operation . Local units of the Red Cross and the Salvation Army Sat- urday gave a fine demonstration of what co-operation means. The Red Cross had exceeded its quota for flood relief work. The Salvation Army, however, was asking money to finance its activities in the same area. The result was confusing. It was speedily cleared up, however, at a conference of the local heads of these two organizations, The fact is that the Red Cross is financing its work with public contributions, but the extensive organization of the Salvation Army also is actively in the field and it must finance its own set-up. As a result, it became apparent that a double appeal would be necessary if both of these praiseworthy and highly efficient organizations were to do their respective parts. This, it was agreed, is an exceedingly unfortunate state of affairs and one which should not be repeated in the event of future disasters with their attendant calls for help. The public, quite naturally, assumed that only the Red Cross would appeal for funds and that money given it would be used to finance other agencies which would be co-ordinated in flood relief work under Red Cross leadership. _ This, it seems, is not the case. In areas where the Salva- tion Army went to work as soon as the emergency developed, the Salvation Army was required to finance its own activities. Co-ordination should have been effected on a national basis, but it was not. For that reason it is all the more significant that it was possible to obtain co-ordination here go easily. The good will and mutual understanding which was brought to the matter by the local heads of these two agencies made agreement easy. They are in whole-hearted accord on the matter of support- ing the plea by the Salvation Army. There is neither jealousy nor discord, merely a continuation of the same fine spirit of co-operation and service which has made Bismarck so deeply indebted to both these fine organizations in the past. Prospective Steel Shortage Don't be surprised if America suffers a steel shortage dur- ing 1987.. If building is resumed on the scale which many now envision, that certainly will be the case and the question will be not how much it will cost but when will it be possible to The trend is indicated by reports which show that the ‘steel industry operated at 77.7 per cent of rated capacity during ee Behind MARVELOUS! onan ene Scenes (oct Sou tn cPaner <| Washington BILLIONS FOR WAR, FEW MIL- LIONS FOR HEALTH! By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Feb. 1. — The federal budget for the next fiscal year gives the navy $587,302,600 and the army $393,460,400 for war purposes, a total of nearly a billion dollars. It_ gives the U. 8. Public Health Service $20,753,000. Of course if you want to get the full portion of proposed expenditures for 1937-38 properly chargable to past wars and danger of future«ones, you must add to the earmy-navy bill, as peace advocates are fond of doing, an item of $577,500,000 for veteran pen- sions and benefits, and most of $860,- 000,000 for interest on, and $401,000,- 000 for retirement of, a public debt which is largely due to war, Total of these items is about $2,- 830,000,000. The public health appropriation will be about one-fifth of the cost of two new super-dreadnaughts, con- struction of which will begin imme- diately. Desirability of adequate national defense is disputed by hardly anyone. Yet no one seems to be quite clear as to whom we are going to fight with that billion dollars and the military- naval machine built up by other bil- lions in past years. x * * Whom Will We Fight? The White House and have adopted a belligerent policy of neutrality, which at least theoretically means something. No one lies awake nights worrying about an attack from Canada or Mexico. A war of aggression by this nation seems out of the question. No one has the temerity to suggest that we will have any fight wth England. And naval experts agree that, geog- raphy being what it is, no Japanese fleet can cross the Pacific and con- stitute a menace to our shores. The U. 8. Public Health Service, on the other hand, knows exactly what it wants to fight and hasn’t the slightest fear that it will ever run out of available dangerous enemies, Disparity between the number of casualties unnecessarily caused by Cisease and the number killed in bat- tle within American borders within the last 70 years is greater than the disparity between what will vote for national health and what it will vote for war, ee * States Get Federal Help ~ Just the other day the U. 8. Public Health Service declared war on ven- ereal diseases, which are estimated to afflict upward of 10,000,0000 American citizens, The Conference on Venereal Disease Control held in Washington under its auspices and with the presi- dent's blessing recommended that the $8,000,000 appropriated for health grants under the Social Secur- ity Act (part of the budget figure) be increased to $25,000,000, state Health promotion and disease pre- vention have been considered primar- ily @ state function, but state public health expenditures took a nose dive during the depression and eight mil- lions of grant money this year has stimulated states to expand their ac- tivities enormously. The health service helps states set up their health units when it passes out the money. Under the Social Se- curity Act it also receives $1,600,000 for disease and sanitation investiga- _ December and now is operating at the rate of 80.6 per cent. That means practically all of the efficient equipment now available in America’s steel mills is in use. A lot of the ma- chinery included in the capacity ratings is out of date and costly to use. During 1986 steel men spent $216,000,000 in moderniza- tion, plan to spend $290,000,000 in 1937, but expenditure of even these huge sums may not prevent it from running far behind orders during the current year. To The reason, of course, is that more things are being made from steel. Sheets and plates are going into industries which formerly used little or no steel. Refrigerators, for example, once were made almost wholly of wood. Now wood is in the background and steel is to the fore. Railroads, having built little in recent years, face the pos- | sibility of a car shortage and are moving to meet it. Steel is needed for that. If, on top of these and other demands, the building industry really gets under way we may have a situa- tion wherein men are idle for lack of materials rather than for lack of opportunity to work. Bismarck already has had a forerunner of this condition. Last fall work on the new addition to the postoffice here was held up because of difficulty in getting steel. These instances may become more and more frequent asthe year rolls on. : If and when it comes it will be disconcerting. Neverthe- less, it is a condition devoutly to be wished. i : Fantastic Trial : © The great conspiracy trial in Moscow has had a fantastic air, right from the start. But its supreme moment of fantasy ; came when a witness testified that a princely Mdivani was in- volved’in the plot to get the better of Stalin. * The name Mdivani is familiar—almost to the point of bore- dom—to the American public; but not, emphatically not, in “connection with the plots of dissatisfied Bolsheviks. Mdivanis, bearing their royal titles from the obscure land of Georgia, have - shown unrivaled talent in the matter of marrying wealthy American women. - None of us had dreamed that the house was s0.versatile as to encompass militant Communism also. But so it is testified. A defendant at Moscow alleges that ‘one Budu Mdivani was in on a scheme to kill Communists and | ¢ ‘set up an independent state in Georgia. And this charge, some- how, puts the final touch of unreality on a trial that looked all too unreal from the very start. ‘ Flood Looters There never was a great disaster that did not point u the nobility and depravity of which human belnes ae ‘both Ina great shipwreck, for instance, there are always tales men and officers who sacrificed their own lives that, others ‘might be saved. And tales, too, of men who even disguised themselves as women to make certain of a place in the lifeboats. : This strange anomaly in human nature is again illustrated the terrible Ohio-Mississippi valley flood. While other men - ar® straining every muscle, mixing grave danger, to rescue or relieve miserable flood refugees, a few prow! through abandoned "homes, seeking loot. diseases, And disabilities the jobs'people do. The life expec- tancy of an industrial worker is seven years shorter than that of a non-in- dustrial worker, Compared with such human condors, uls would rth é Pern » ghouls would seem \ 2 . tion, ese % Big Field in Industries Industrial and public hygiene health nursing, along with expansion of venereal disease clinics and edu- cation, are the chief fields in which Assistant Secretary of the Josephine Roche and Surgeon Gen- eral Thomas Jr, feel ghey could use those’ éxtra millions once. ‘Treasury at Industrial hygiene covers deaths, from Occupational health hazards are known to exist in 1000 separate oocu- pations and there are at least 100 groups of poison and industrial has- ards known health, to be detrimental 80 dramatic- to The silicosis menace, ally brought to public attention last year, is such danger— and it is estimated that between 500,- 000 and 1,000,000 workers are exposed to the hazards of silica dust. Ce Pneumonia Great Menace The pneumonia rate is 66 per cent higher in iron and steel centers, where workers step from extreme heat to extreme cold in many cases, than in the country as a whole. There are various preventives for this haz- ard and most others. Only two states had made provis- ions to meet industrial health hazards before the Social Security ten millions became available, Now 21 have in- dustrial hygiene units, Miss Roche points out that there is @ great mass of scientific and tech- nical information stored up. which would be of value to millions of work- ers from the st it of their lives and health if it only could be spread around. The request for a few more millions would seem to be something the labor union lobbyists might work on. But they'll probably be too busy. ‘SO THEY SAY. | ———d Economic strife resulting from in- ordinate or discriminatory trade bar- riers is one of the most fruitful sources of political animosity and military conflict. — President Roose- velt, e** * There is a growing delief that our universities will gain rather than lose by adopting a less costly and preten- tious scale of doing things.—Frederick P..

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1987 woccccocos A LANDMARK OF PROGRESS (New York Herald-Tribune) The explosion into candor which is one of the major symptoms of the times had its defects along its virtues. There can be no doubt, how- ever, that the new nation-wide effort, | President with tbe strong support of Roosevelt, to end venerel disease be- longs on the right side of the ledger. Tt is based on—is, indeed, only made possible by—the new frankness to- ward the truths of life. Public senti- ment will strongly support the cam- paign, we are confident. This newspaper counts it a public duty to give full support to this movement. Pursuant thereto it placed the news of this national cam- paign on its front page. A generation ago, perhaps even ten years ago, such @ public meeting would have been im- possible and news of it could not have been printed without shocking many minds. We feel sure that our read- ers are today united not only in ac- cepting the desirability of such a campaign, but in a resolve to lend it every aid. That support involves, as its first item, a candid presentation of the facts, and the meeting at Washing- ton is to be ranked as a landmark of Rrogress in this direction.

However, adults who wish to continue it indefinitely may do 50 with impunity, for it can’t do any harm even if it does no great good. Citrate of soda was formerly much-used as an addition to infant's bottle, to prevent formation of large curds, so it should be evident that it is quite harmless. Mild catharsis is the most alarming effect a whole ounce of ci- trate of soda at one dose would produce. In any case it is not advisable to make up a quantity of the fool proof medicine greater than will be needed for immediate use, as it will not keep long. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Acne My daughter, aged 16, is much distressed by » bad complexion. It is changing her frem a happy disposition to a gloomy one. (Mrs, E. N. C.) Answer—Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for mono- graph on Blackheads and Pimples, and one on Iodin ration. More or less acne (blackheads and pimples) is physiological in the early teens, and it does not indicate “impure blood” nor is acne or freedom from acne any in- dex of character or habits, Dope When either of my children (aged 3 and 6 years) contracts a cold I im- mediately dose her with one-half of an————— (nostrum) tablet every three hours. Does this thin their blood? (Mrs. H. R. L.) In one of your articles on pneumonia you said many persons in the early stage of such illness make @ grave mistake in taking (same nostrum) tablets, etc., and I wonder if that would apply to spinal meningitis too? (A, G.) Answer—The nostrum both correspondents mention benumbs sensation of fatigue, pain, distress, anxiety, worry or what have you, but no physician imagines it has any remedial value. What I said about it in respect to pneumonia applies as well to any other on-coming illness the victim may have to fight. Salt. Read that lack of table salt is responsible for that tired feeling and lack of energy, especially during hot weather. (M. T.) Answer—In any circumstances when one sweats @ great deal, there is a great deal of salt excreted in the sweat, and it is advisable to add & good pinch of salt to eachdrink of water or to take a teaspoonful or more of salt daily to keep the salt content of blood and tissues up to normal. ‘This has been found to prevent heat cramps, heat prostration, etc., and salt with water is more refreshing than plain water or other beverages in very hot weather, Ordinarily, however, most people take rather too much salt in o> on food, and the use of the salt cellar at table is rather to be avoided. Too much salt causes retention of too much water in blood and tissues, makes the body loggy, flabby and cavises “That tired feeling and lack of energy.” (Copyright 1937, John F.
