Not Making Trouble Merits Reward Too Wondering just how many persons in the vicinity of De- troit had, like himself, lived 70 years or more without being arrested, one John A. Williams, 76, decided that the best way to find out would be through a letter to the editor of a news- paper. The letter was published and in due time Mr. Williams began to get answers. In fact, so many answers from people who could meet the stringent qualifications, that Mr. Williams was impelled to organize them into a club. Now in these days, almost any kind of an excuse will start someone organizing something which, nine times out of ten, is nothing more than a dues-collecting scheme. But a club of people who have never been arrested somehow is different. And its virtue is that it lays the foundation for a monument to one of the most deserving varieties of the “forgotten man.” Enormous portions of the nation’s talents and resources are being devoted to cutting down the activities of the gangster, the murderer, the bandit and the parole-breaker. They are held constantly in ridicule before the public, as examples of lawlessness. But comparatively little has been done to popularize the career of the law-abiding citizen or make him the model for positive education in the principles of progressive civilization. It is when he is contrasted against his opposite that the man who has never been arrested assumes his real proportions. In general he is the man who does not kidnap children. He does not rob banks, run gambling houses, sell liquor to minors or break traffic laws. He does not run up the taxpayer’s bill in lengthy trials or prison maintenance. He is the fellow who does not slug pedestrians along dark streets or shoot G-Men or write bad checks. In summary, he is the fellow who has not caused every civilized nation most of its household grief and has not cost that nation appalling sums in money and misery. E Of course, there are many who have committed illegal acts and got off.scot free. And there are others who have been haled before the judgment bench when they were perfectly innocent. But when account is taken of all exceptions, there still remains a large section of the population whose clean record with the law attests its value as a. bulwark to the national morals. Other heroes have been eulogized and their status set up in the name of other noble causes. But the award of high dis- tinction for the man who has just simply kept out of trouble ali his life is strangely missing. Freight Cars and War It seems a little far-fetched to link the supply of empty freight cars available on American railroads with the current hostilities between Japan and China. Actually there is a con- nection, and a strong one. Last February most of the important rail carriers serving Atlantic and Gulf ports were enlisted in an embargo on the movement of scrap iron and steel from the interior because of the great number of cars tied up through failure of exporters to cbtain cargo space on vessels. In recent weeks this scrap, consigned to foreign buyers, has been moving fast and cars are being freed, eliminating the need for the embargo. Scrap being one of the essentials of war to a nation which has few natural mineral resources, and Japan being one of the great foreign buyers of American scrap, the importance of a small commercial development to a war thousands of miles away is immediately apparent. And in that, regardless of what Amer- icans would like to think, is wrapped up their little contribution to Japan’s imperialistic ambitions in the Far East. Undeveloped Film Field When the first course in visual education was offered 15 years ago, thoughtful men saw in it the promise of great accom- piishments in the field of mass teaching. Through moving pic- tures and slides, they reasoned, large sections of the population could be interested in fields of knowledge otherwise limited to a comparatively small group of students. Today, according to Gayle Starns of the University of Ken- tucky extension division, visual education is still in the piz-eer stage. Courses are offered in 25 teachers’ colleges, 21 liberal arts colleges, 21 municipal and private universities and 12 state universities. This is in contrast to the thousands of theaters serving cities and hamlets from coast to coast with a strict diet of pemere amusement films—and some of them not so amusing. In view of hopes originally held for the motion picture as a medium to bring light and knowledge to the masses, it seems! ‘*! that there has been a serious oversight somewhere along the P line. Poland’s Land Need ’ History shows that many wars have begun over a nation’s ambition for more land. Italy’s adventure in Ethiopia affords the most effective and most recent illustration of that. ' Now Poland is coming out with the hint that more land is needed to take care of its million jobless adults, the majority THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1987 Washington That Farmer-Labor Party Bee Is Bussing More Busily Daily. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug 5 —()— A sub- stantial farmer-labor party is in the stage of discussion and planning bj leaders of labor-and farmer groups. Labor's Non-Partisan » o coalition of C. I. O. and A. F. of L. groups organized for political action, is going to have a little brother—the Farmers’ Non-Partisan League. Probably there will be no farmer- labor presidential ticket in 1940, al- though insiders of the movement hazard the guess that there will be such a ticket in 1944. Meanwhile the two leagues ‘will work closely to- gether in seeking to elect progres- sive candidates in 1938, and will hold themselves ready for any kind of a political alignment in 1940—such as the likely split between conserva- | tives and progressives in the Demo- | cratic party. H ee & Organization Planned A conference at St. Paul, before long, at which farm delegates will predominate and both progressive congressmen and leaders of the labor league will attend, is being planned. States where preliminary organ- ization is planned are Minnesota, Wisconsin, the two Dakotas, Ne- braska and Montana. Assurances have been received that in each | county of those states can be found @ man who will be active in a farmer Political movement. It may have escaped notice, but William M. Thatcher, & leader in the Farmers’ Union, and other farm or- ganization men—including the head of the North Dakota Farmers’ Union —appeared at the Labor's Non- Partisan League convention here a few months ago. The labor league has announced it would open regional of- fices which would organize in all counties, urban and rural. Already it has a peid representative at Des Moines, Ia., who will attempt to or- ganize farmers as well as workers. * * * Close Tie to C.L 0 One factor which may hurt the movement is a widespread impression that the LNPL is a political appen- dage of John Lewis and the C. I. O. ‘But the LNPL claims it has more than 50 officials of A. F. of L. unions on its executive board—none of whom have resigned—and that more than half its officials are A. F. of L. men. WXPOVEISE.

Oliver, executive vice presi- dent who is in charge of the move- ment since Senator George Berry quit as president, is the former director of tesearch of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Clerks, an A.

F. of L. union, as president. * -* * Labor Increasingly Active Labor has taken an active part in more campaigns that ever before, and helped elect many friendly officials last year. In previous decades farm- ers have shown they can take poli- tical action, as in the Populist, Granger and Bryan movements and vecent defections from the Republi- can party. There is still much radi- cal feeling in Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas and Montana — or so one {missed as such nor allowed to be ington, the incident of the Demo- cratic convention books has been more or less passed over—obscured by seemingly greater issues and more dramatic developments—in spite of the fact that from time to time new disclosures have added to its weight. The latest of these is that neither the committee nor its distributing agency has taken the trouble to de- liver the books to those ce a, and paid for them. In of we ® after blackjacking the corporations into buying something they did not want and for which they had not the slightest use at a ridiculously exorbi- tant price, they have not bothered to do anything except take the money. The purchasers have not complained about non-delivery be- cause they did not want the book in the first place. One company, which paid $16,250 has not received a single book—does not want nor expect to. hears—as well as Farmer-Labor gov- erned Minnesota. Labor leaders and the few farm leaders thus far allied hope farmers will respond to their It, like all the others, recognized— and was, in fact, told—that the books were being used as a means of evad- ing the Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits corporations from contri- buting to political committees—and that these subscriptions would be appreciated and noted by the “powers that be.” Some of the solicitors went even farther than that. One last summer was so crude in his pre- sentation of his proposal that the individual he solicited ordered him out of his office and gave him a hot meéssage to take back to “the powers that be,” mentioning two of them by name. It may prove impossible for these men to break down the theory that farmers and workers have fundamen- tally conflicting interests. It is often argued that wage increases mean in- creased cost of goods farmers must buy and higher food prices mean lower real-wages for workers. . Farmer-labor people will argue that this applies equally to all groups of ignored. It involves a species of moral turpitude which ought to arouse indignation among all those who believe in decent politics be- cause its indecency is clear and in- disputable. The thing that makes the scheme particularly repugnant is that it was definitely tied up with the White House. The name of the presi- dent, written by himself, in each book was used as an inducement to corporation heads be ' royalists” to subscribe. The whole setup was well calculated to convey the empression that those who sub- scribed to a suggested number of books at the price of $250 each would do themselves some good with the administration and that those who refused would make no friends. ‘There is a very ugly name for that sort of thing and it is pretty hard to believe that an administration which would permit, sanction, indorse, ex- cuse or silently acquiesce in so trans- parent a racket would have much ‘seruple about doing anything else. It is as revealing in one way as the court-packing plan was in another. The latter demonstrated a complete disregard for platform pledges and a contempt for the fundamental prin- ciples‘ of the American system; the other shows an amazing willingness to resort to questionable methods and downright deceit in order to evade an inconvenient law. From whatever angle it is viewed the whole business about these books producers, that higher incomes enable workers to buy more farm products and farmers to buy more labor prod- ucts, that unity of interest, rests in obtaining necessities of life at lower cost, that farmers with their problem of marketing and distribution and workers with their problems of wages and hours should unite to eliminate waste, minimize profits and attack corruption and profiteering in bus!- ness, It's just guesswork whether this latest farmer-labor movement will get to first base.

ALL BOGGED DOWN WITH CARBOHYDRATE The ordinary mixed diet of Americans is usually deficient in minerals, especially calcu and phosphorus, and in vitamins, especially vitamins D and B. vitamin B was vitamin B, Lately it has been found to con- sist pent one substance and the two main factors were first identi- fied as vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, but at present these are called vitamin B and vitamin G. B and G invariably occur together, never separately in nature. So it may be assumed that any diet short in vitamin B is likewise short of vitamin G. Vitamin B proper is more readily destroyed by heat and dxidation (cooking, long storage) than vitamin G. Vitamin B is sometimes called the anti-neuritic vitamin, for beriberi (polyneuritis) and alcoholic neuritis and the neuritis of pregnancy and probably many vague ailments involving low grade nerve trouble are due to lack of vitamin B. Vitamin G is sometimes called the anti-pellagric or the anti-dermatitic vitamin, for pelagra and many vague complaints involving pellagra-like dryness, roughening or low grade inflammation of the skin are due to lack of vitamin G. In 100 cases of clinical neuritis (reported in Journal A.M.A., 105, 1580-3, 1935) large doses of vitamin B daily produced cure in 44, ben- efit in 48, no improvement in 8. Vitamins function somewhat as catalysts, hormones, ferments, enzymes do. As shown earlier, vitamin D is essen- tial for the normal assimilization, utilization or metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin B, if not absolutely essential, at least promotes or aids normal carbohydrate metabolism. Many clinicians have found in actual practice that adequate rations of vitamin B distinctly improve utilisation of carbohydrates in diabetes, both in children and in adults. As a rule a diabetes patient receiving a certain daily dose of insulin gets along with considerably less insulin when the diet is supplemented with an optimal daily ration of vitamin B. Practically every one who eats too much does his serious eating in the line of refined carbohydrates—white bread, cakes, sugar, candy, sweets. Whether the pure carbohydrate consumer is much overweight or not, cer- tainly he or she is bogged down. Whether he or she is a potential diabetic or not, his blood carries too much sugar and all of his body tissues retain too much water. He is more or less waterlogged. He is a poor risk. He over- works his heart and arteries even when he sits or lies asleep. He will not attain longevity. He cannot attain and enjoy vite. Let him do without bread, cake, sugar, candy. In place of these let him eat plain wheat in various ways, fresh or canned fruit unsweetened, saccharin as a substitute sweetener. And let him take a large daily ration of vitamin B in the form of wheat germ or yeast. On this simple yet radical reform he or she will surely regain lost vite, but the upturn will come only after the first two weeks of the reform. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Young and Gray I am 34 years old. My hair started turning gray when I was only 19. Of course, I am very gray now. What is it my system needs? (Mrs. H. B. B.) Answer—I wish I knew. Best suggestion I can offer is Iodin Ration. Send three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for insftuc- tions, also for monograph on Care of the Hair. Diagnosis In 2 case of suspected angina pectoris, if the pain definitely does not ex- tend down the arm does this exclude the above disease? (H. D. F.) Answer—Strong temptation to offer you such assurance, but of course that scarcely settles the question one way or the other. You might find Dr. Brooks’ “Angina Pectoris,” published by Harper & Bros., an interesting little Paranoia let me know at what hospitals they treat patients afflicted with Paranoia, or can such patients be treated in any hospital?

In any event one gr more physicians who have exam- ined the patient must certify or give an opinion that such institutional treatment is advisable. Copyright, 1937, John F, Dille Co. and apparently the only one that will be. And the explanation as to the non-delivery of the books is simply non-existent. None whatever is made Inquirers of the Democratic National committee are cynically told that “The man who knows about that is on vacation and will not return for @ long time.” In other words—it is nobody’s business. It .is not pleasant to think that politics in America has ‘come to the stage where political managers can get away with stuff as crude as this with that kind of an- swer. What it amounts to is a “shake- down,” by a political committee closely tied to the White House, of the corporations which the law says should neither be solicited nor al- lowed to contribute to a political committee. It is these corporations which the administration has been denouncing for four years. It has used them as an issue. It has based its unworthy class appeal upon their alleged iniquities. And then it turns about and furtively asks them for money in a way that clearly in- timates that if they do not “come across” they will be making a mis- take. In an administration which prates of its purity, loudly proclaims its own high-mindedness and habit- ually lectures those who do not ap- Plaud it upon their low moral stand- ards and lack of business ethics, that is hypocrisy in its most disgusting form. heroine, woman.

People were saying good- by. There was a prevailing air of gaiety. She glanced up. There were no stars tonight. There would be more rain. She was hoping that there would be a message for her from Phil at the airport, There was none, however. “We're taking off, Mrs, Irving,” the junior pilot told her at last. “Thank you.” She remembered gee 8 i i Eb tivelr i i paoeean sttendant came run- . irs.
