Robertson Unobtrusively one of North Dakota’s outstanding citizens recently retired from a lifetime of work that gained him more fame outside the state than within. The man is Dr. E. P. Robertson, founder and promoter of Wesley college, affiliated with the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks. More than 80 years ago he prevailed upon the leaders of the Methodist church not to abandon the university they had started at Wahpeton—Red River University—but to reconvert it and to reconstitute it. As a university the institution at Wah- peton was closed only to have a rebirth at Grand Forks as Wes- ley college. Dr. Robertson had an idea that sound religious instruction could be conducted hand in hand with state institutions despite the doctrine of the separation of church and state.. _ Confronted with tremendous obstacles from the outset, no money, no equipment, few believers in his rather radical educa- tional-religious view, Dr. Robertson exerted his Scotch tena- ciousness and aggressiveness. He clung to his ideas. He con- stantly advocated his cause. Today Wesley college is a model for religious schools which work hand in hand with state institutions throughout the United States without being integral parts. Students now are able to obtain types of religious education at state institutions that would have been impossible a generation ago. The credits of the religious school are recognized by the state school. Dr. Robertson obtained little help from North Dakota. The monies with which he built the splendid plant near the uni- versity were largely contributions of persons living in other states. To obtain these contributions Dr, Robertson traveled thousands of miles, suffered many disappointments but grad- ually sold his idea. It would be difficult to judge which is the most lasting monument Dr. Robertson erected for himself—the school idea, the school itself or the thousands of young men and women who have a broader knowledge because of what he accomplished. Dr. Robertson is one oi those few men who have made a definite contribution not only towards the progress of the state but towards the advancement of man. Buckshot Justified No man can blame the Bismarck farmer who plans on giving the net thieves he catches in his cornfield a dose of buckshot. After a man has worked all summer nursing his garden along and suddenly awakens one morning to find part or all of it stripped he can be forgiven for planning dire revenge. The blow is doubly hurtful when one considers how slim crops have been: these past few drouth years. Practically every cornfield within a few miles of the Capital City has been subjected to thievery in the last 10 days. In some cases only a few ears have been taken. In other cases a good many bushels of eara have been stripped from the stalks. In some cases it has been the work of boys who wanted a few. roasting ears. In other cases it ‘has been meni whose sole idea has been to sell the other person’s property.. These are the worst offenders, Some consideration can be shown the fellow whose mouth is watering for a few ears of August’s table delicacy. But no consideration can be shown the person who has deliberately set out to rob his neighbor's fields... The latter type usually is the person who is too indolent and lazy to plant a garden of his own. Perhaps the proper punishment a judge should inflict on this thief would be to sentence him to harvest without pay the corn crop of the farmer on whose land he exercised his light- fingered ability. / : Viewing With Alarm : One person in 20 in New York state may expect to undergo treatment for mental disease at some time in his life. And there are 300,000 persons now living in the United States who will be murdered. Those are a couple of happy little thoughts left with us by those whose business it is to leave happy thoughts—the scien- tists and the statisticians. To the aggressive, those are not dooms but challenges. They represent problems to be solved, the problems of preventive medicine applied to the mental field, the problem of violence and crime in the political and economic, : That’s the beauty of all future predictions. You can always work like sin to keep them from coming true. And even so, gloomy predictions of this kind are worse in considering than in experiencing them. A Real Price Problem Rising prices have been anticipated for several months as a result of strikes, increased wages, wider employment and other factors involving more complicated phases of the law of demand and supply. In some localities, higher prices already have come, the housewife noticing them in food costs, the husband perhaps in buying coal. It is possible that even children have felt the ef- fects, indirectly, at least. But the real problem didn’t rear its ugly head until auto makers announced price increases, effective at once in some cases. With the rise in rent, food or apparel costs, a lot of in- dividual grumbling is heard. But raise the price of a car, and you get a chorus from the whole family. .» It seems that, along with food, shelter and clothing, the auto has taken its place as one of the necessities of life. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1937 Behind Scenes Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, Aug. 18—Senator Hugo Black’s appointment to the supreme court is Roosevelt's latest and most conspicuous challenge to the south’s economic-political system and to the southern blocs in congress which have most persistently opposed his 1937 program. 5 The appointment was practically decided upon late in the evening of Aug. 11, but not tinally until the next morning, when it was sent to the sen- ate. It was kept a secret because Roosevelt confided almost exclu- sively throughout his deliberations with Attorney General Homer 8. Cummings, who is one of the best, secret-keepers in town. Runners-up in the order named were Solicitor General Stanley Reed, Donald Richberg and Judge Sam Bratton of New Mexico. The ap- pointment was shot into the senate so early because southern Democratic members of the house rules committee had tied up the wage-hour bill and because southern senators were start- ing a filibuster against the anti- lynching bill which would endanger Roosevelt's whole battered program x * * Political Maneuvering Stanley Reed, a Kentuckian, prob- ably would have been selected if there had not been a justice—McReynolds— sitting from the judicial circuit whence Reed comes. Black’s judicial district contains six southern states with a population of 16,000,000. The fact that the relatively mild and courtly Reed’s appointment would have been more likely to help along the resignation of Justice Sutherland than appointment of the aggressively liberal Black was carefully weighed. But in the end Roosevelt decided that it would most advance his cause to appoint the one militantly liberal southern senator, to encourage those in the south who want to reconstruct its economic system which some southerners and most New Dealers tend to regard in part as an “eco- ome sweatshop for northern cap- He saw an opportunity also to en- courage his liberal followers every- where by an appointment “which would assure them that he was not compromising in his leftward pro- gram and would make plain that he stood by his friends as he expected them to stand by him, In effect, Roosevelt played politics with the appointment. But it should be remembered that everyone in Washington, from the president down and perhaps even sometimes includ- ing supreme court justices, plays politics with anything he can’ get his| hands on. se & A Bogey Interred Other considerations included the improbability of confirmation trouble, since the senate could hardly turn down a senator or its southern mem- bers turn against a fellow southerner, chief points against Black are that he has a strong liberal record in recent years, that he was originally elected with Ku Klux Klan backing, that he failed to disclose anything like the full findings of his lobby investigation which flared so sensationally. Although some are now calling him wild and radical, and as'a southerner chairman of the senate labor commit- tee he was incautious enough to sponsor a wage-hour bill on the the- ory that . higher living standards would revive the south, Roosevelt is said to be impressed by his “sound, cautious approach” to problems. One also learns that Roosevelt sought to lay at rest the bogey raised by senatorial opponents who insisted they would never permit confirma-| tion of any senator who had favored the court pian. 3 Black had been under terrific heat both here and at home.

The fact that old-line leaders can be upset has been proved by the late Huey Long and Bilbo of Missis- sippi. Some of them are are badly worried. Roosevelt's week-end trip with the LaFollettes, his virtually scornful re- fusal to attend the Democratic sen- atorial “Harmony” dinner and the appointment of Black all point to the same thing—that Roosevelt considers himself the leader of his party and leaders who feel he is trying to lead them into dangerous paths and whom he thinks have no right in the party unless they follow his leader- ship. The battle waxes hotter every day.

Probably @ source of much of the misinformation and confusion about ultraviolet light was the oc. casional magisterial comment of a late philosopher who harbored an obses- sion that very strong ultraviolet rays could penetrate the skull and work havoc with the membrances covering the brain or the brain itself, and the cultured but scientifically unlearned old gentlemen cautioned his readers not, it hats, is ee ibite is ‘as much truth in that notion as there was in the fine old romantic contrivance whereby the hero or heroine in the novel smoothly escaped from an impossible situation by developing brain fever from sheer intensity of passion—a feat never quite achieved in real life. To the best of our present knowledge the benefit derived from sun- baths, from outdoor life, from exposure of the skin to sun, from tanning, is due to the production of vitamin D from the chemical action of the ultra. violet rays of sunlight on a substance known as ergosterol which is present in the skin. Ergosterol is present in many foods, and if such foods are exposed to ultraviolet light the ergosterol is converted into viosterol, vitamin D. Ergosterol is called the provitamin D, the mother substance from whicl vitamin D is produced. Exposure of anything to sunlight is irradiation, and the term “irradiated” as applied to certain foods means the food has bee: exposed to ultraviolet rays to impart vitamin D to it, Much milk is so treated to produce the desirable vitamin D, all natural foods of man being poor in vitamin D. Direct mid-day sunshine in mid-summer contains a considerable amount of ultraviolet rays. Cloud, dust, fog, but especially smoke in the atmosphere screens out much of the ultraviolet light. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon the sunlight contains the least ultraviolet. In midwinter there is comparatively little ultraviolet in the sunlight. But there is some ultra- violet whenever there is even diffuse daylight, and for health’s sake, dis- regarding other considerations, every one should absorb as much ultraviolet, as possible day by day. Nudity is always healthful. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Fibroid Tumors Underwent operation for removal of fibroid tumors, ‘Was getting alon: well, until I came across magazine article saying that the proper treatment for fibroid tumors is a cleansing diet and that operation often caused cancer. (N. J.) Answer—Better throw the magazine back in the ash can and thank your lucky stars the charlatans didn’t get you started on that “cleansing diet" before your operation. . Going Shopping? Please send me the names of at least four good doctors or specialists in . who can remove prostatic obstruction by transurethral resection as you described, (8, F.C.) Answer—Maybe a roster of the national association of urologists would be more convenient. I do not send such lists. Always glad to recommend a physician or specialist if I know of one in your neighborhood. Coat on Tongue Should s normal person have a coat on tongue? (8, L, E) Answer—The tongue of a healthy person usually shows a coating over the back. It should be somewhat rough, not smooth and shiny, rounded at tip, not pointed, and covered with tufts or panillae. Orthodontia Kindly advie if 16 years is too old to have teeth straightened? Daughter's lower teeth are growing inward. It makes lower lip look sunken. What title has dentist who straightens teeth? Do regular dentists do such work? (Mrs. T. G.) ; Answer—No, a good dentor can straighten teeth at any age in early life. Such work is called orthodontia, and the dentor who does such work is an orthodontist. Some dentors limit their practice to orthodontia. No reason why any good dentor shouldn’t manage the treatment in your daughter’s case, perhaps with occasional consultation with specialist.

He belongs to the new man up- stairs, Mr. Bob McTavish. He’s a writer or something. Quite a like ly young feller I’d say.” The girl held out her arms de- lightedly. “Of course I'll keep him. Be glad to. I saw him on the stairs when they were moving in up there, Isn’t he cute? His mas- ter’s away you say?” “Well Schmatz couldn’t git in. That’s the dog’s name,” Pat an- Swered evasively. “I'll till -him where the terrier is directly. Rhymes goin’ all right?” “I guess so.” She sighed a lit- tle. “I’ve got down to green, queen, sheen. Maybe the dog can help. His eyes look bright enough to think up something.” She shut the door and Pat shook his head and went back to his sweeping. After he finished, he trudged heavily up the stairs and knocked on Bob's door. The young man stuck his head out, “Oh, hello,” he said. “Say, seen anything of my dog? I let him out quite a while ago.” “I see the gurl downstairs taik- in’ him in, I think,” Pat answered gravely. “She’s got studio number one. Thought I'd jist tell ye.” “Thanks, I'll run right down and get him.” Bob started for the stairs. Pat grinned. “It’s a grand little gurl she is now. Had that studio quite a while. Writes rhymes or something.” “Oh a poet!” “Well if green rhymes with queen, she is,” answered the Irish- man sagely and picked up his dustpan. He watched Bob knock at Kathleen's door. py Estudio one, Schmatz hurled himself delightedly at his master, while Kathleen looked on with a smile. “Positive proof that you're Mr. McTavish,” she said. Then went on to explain how she happened to have the dog, adding, “And I’m Kathleen O’Shan, in case you ‘want to prosecute me for steal- ing him.” Bob smiled back at her. She made a pretty picture in her neat apron, a ready smile playing around ruddy lips, Quite the pret- tiest thing he had seen since he came to the city, he decided. “You say the janitor brought the dog Bob picked up the dog and “Yes, do come tonight aa bring rhyme for bone’ she said. to you?” he asked. When’ she nodded, “I see. Pat seems to have the welfare of his tenants very much at heart. He said you were a poet.” “Oh, no,” Kathleen hastened to correct him. “Nothing so arty as that. Besides I've got to sup- port myself. I do greeting cards for a living. You know, valen- tines, birthdays, mother’s day cards, friendship cards and all that. Sometimes it’s fun and sometimes it’s an awful headache, especially about now when it gets near bill time. I get to worrying, then I can’t rhyme anything but due and blue.” “You mean to say you actually make a business of selling those cards? I always supposed they just printed them. Never thought about the people who must write them.” “Well, you can think about me doing it now.” Kathleen’s tone held an edge. “Pat said you were |" a writer, too.

Schmatz, Maybe could find a ‘OB picked up the dog and leaned back against the kitch- enet wall, smiling up at her. “Pat's a regular information bureau, isn't he? And of course I did ask for that last remark, after what I said about greeting cards. But you're wrong, lady, dead wrong. T've. got to eat, too, you know. That's why I write for the pulps.” Kathleen looked mystified. “You know the kill-’em-on- every-page kind. Sheriff’s posses, master detectives, deadly crooks rampant in every paragraph, It’s a great life. My menu’s gov- erned solely by the number of words I sell in a month. Ten thousand words, bean soup, Twenty thousand, maybe a pork chop, and once when I caught one editor just after he had come out of an anesthetic or something, and he paid me a prize of $500, I ate a whole turkey dinner all at one time.” A dimpte showed at the cor- ner of Kathleen’s mouth, and she fished a pencil out of the pocket of her apron and inspected it closely, “I can make good bean soup,” she remarked irrelevantly. Bob leaned forward eagerly, “So what?” he asked. “Yes, do come tonight and bring Schmatz. Maybe he could find a rhyme for bone.” “And if he did of course that would be doggerel, wouldn't it?” laughed Bob, and made for the door. As he ran up the steps, the jan- itor was still working in the upper hall. Bob reached in his pocket. “Here, buy yourself some tobac- co, Pat, You're a discriminating person.’ The old man grinned. “How many rhymes do you think it takes to pay her rint? Too bad that agent don’t have to try think- in’ thim up himself.” Bob waved his arm dramati- cally. “If he did he’d probably end by sending her a note saying, It's Patrick’s idea now indade, Paine that yer rint is Maybe we can suggest it to him.” His door banged shut. * Bt although he resolutely sat down to his typewriter, it was not so easy to close the door of his mind. Certain black-lashed eyes of Irish blue kept coming between him and the villain. His own eyes strayed frequently to his clock without his being able to do much about it, and in the back of his mind lay the warning thought that he was going to see her again reached for a sheet of paper.
