A NEW AILMENT.

What about motor spine?" Have you got it? It is
the newest thing out If you own a car you certain
ly ought to have motor spine. 1t is as necessary as
the accessories on your car. Is in fact an accessory
that marks you as a complete motorist.
1t is described as a fuzzy feeling that runs down
your ~vertebrae and ends in a pain in some portion of
your hip.
Motor car seats do not as a usual thing conform
to the shape of the spine. Muscles contract and lga-
ments tighten from the continual pressure on the ped
ais or the bracing rod. Those lgaments must be re-
Taxed before they can be gotten back to normal
Pushing back the thigh bones to brace the body
against a jolt causes the sciatica nerves to be distorted.
Pain results. Sometimes sciatica neuritis is produced.
Tenseness of the body causes the whole trouble.
This is motor spine, according to the osteopath.
What the chiropractor might say would not agree ex-
actly while the old school would have another ~eNplana-
ton altogether.
Ho hum! Do you remember that hard jolting farm
wagon or that stiff-spring so-called spring wagon, or
that rough riding pillow horse of the long ago? They
produced some rough shedding calculated to tear all
the muscles, ligaments and vertebrae out of your sys
tenn. Nothing ever happened though. Nobody de-
veloped any blackboard spine or any other fancy com
plants. 1t is the luxury of travelling on rubber tires
that brings on these ailments and the more costly the
car the more severe the case of motor spine.
Ford owners are not going to hospitals to be treated
for motor spine and as long as they are showing nc
symptoms of the epidemic, we rather incline to the
view that motor spine is the bunk.

TO A THRIFT.

"The American people spent five billion dollars for
non-essential things" notes the Milwaukee Sentinel,
"for commodities and amusements and excursions and
what not, which were not necessary for them.
"And, aroused by this terrible news, the thrift di-
vision of the treasury department is said to be pre-
pairing a campaign against nonessential spending.
SIT is undeniably true that the American people
need a little instruction in thrift. 1t is equally true
that the present era of industrial depression, with its
diminishing payrolls and increasing unemployment, is
performing a considerable educational function of its
own.
'In recent years the American people spent money
like the proverbial drunken sailor. The wiser heads
perceived the situs ton and urged the spenders to
slacken their pace a little, to do without a few silk
shirts and expensive shoes and 500 suits of clothes
and put by a little of the surplus earnings in the saw
ings banks or in good bonds, against the inevitable
hard times.
mo heed was paid to these wen meant efforts. The
spending carnival was on and everybody blew his
money as fast as he could. The p~rofteer and the re-
cent millionaire were just as bad as the laboring man
who for the first time found himself able to enjoy lux
uries he had always craved.
Probably, whether the thrift division intervenes or
not, the expenditures of the United States for 1921
will show a much smaller amount spent for uonessen-
tials. And a good many men who spent all they
earned while they were working at high wages, when
they get back on the job, will know enough without
government intervention, to save a portion Of their
earnings"

the English article are the same. It thus appears that
the only real protection afforded is against the Eng
Ihsh product, the laid-down price on the products of
each of the other countries being less than the Amer
lean price. However, under the foreign valuation Law
the difference is still more marked.
W trust we have made the American valuation
system plain. The effect of it IS simply to make the
amount of duties which each country pays on similar
articles uniform, instead of making the rate Of duty
duty.
"Under any and all conditions the American valua-
ton = the fairest and most easily administered, while,
under present conditions, it is the only way in which
we can keep our treasury from being annually robbed
of millions of dollars through the depi ~eciation of for
eign currency. The American valuation system has
no more earnest supporters than are we and We earn
estly ~ommen its adoption as the permanent pol
icy of our government"

DELEGATES ON

Special Train Bearing $50 to
National Convention Stops
in Denver; Law En-
forcement Is Cry.

DENVER. Aug. 13.-One hundred
and fifty delegates to he national con
vention of the women's Christian
Temperance union TO be held in San
Francisco next week, passed through
Denver on a special train Friday.
The delegations included the national
officers and directors OF the organiza-
ton.
Mrs. Adrianna Hungerford. state
president for Colorado. left with other
delegates as representative from this
tate.
The keynote of the convention. &C.
cording to Miss Anna Gordon of
Evanston. ILL.,, national president. will
be prohibition law enforcement and
the extension of the activities OF the
organization on other fields.
I'VE must continue our anti-aicohol
fight Miss Gordon said. ito see that
the laws do not fall Into disuse and
also TO extend prohibition q other
parts of the world.
W feel hat the proper progress
is being made IN the fight against
alcohol but we cannot afford to stop
working"
The w. C. T. U. has. been erron-
cously credited with fostering n cam
paign TO revive the blue laws and
with conducting n crusade against to-
bacoo, according to Mrs. Gordon.
Mrs Gordon who is successor TO
the late Frances Willard. denied the
organization she heads is trying to
make Sunday n dull blue day or
snatch stogics from adult male
mouths.
Its simply a part of the propa-
ganda of the vets to discredit the
work OF the W. C. T. u" Mrs. Gordon
said. "Of course, we believe in OBJ
serving Sunday and we also realize
that nicotine has harmful effects, but
our only activity in those connections
is educational. Our big battle is keep
ing America dry and you can be sure
1t will stay dry"
Mrs. Gordon said she had recently
completed a tot OF South America
and found the prohibition movement
making prograss there.
The convention will open Thursday
in San Francisco. Federal ProhibI'
ton Director Roy A. Haynes will ad.
dress the delegates.

There Is considerable confusion respectin1 what IL
meant by American valuation, by which foreign goods
are to be admitted into this country under the Ford
ney tariff measure. Possibly the best authority upon
the matter is the American Economist which explains
and illustrates the plan in the following article on the
subject:
There still seem to be some who do not understand
the American valuation as a basis for the assessment
of duty on imported foreign merchandise as provided
for in the Fordney bill. In fact, we got hold of a
prominent paper 4 few days ago which gravely in
formed its readers that the system provided that all
similar foreign goods must pay such duty as to make
them cost the same, laid down in this country, duty
paid, as American goods of similar nature and quail
ity. That is absolutely untrue. What is provided for
is that all goods of like nature and quality shall pay
the same amount of duty and that such duty shall be
based upon the American valuation of the comparable
American goods That is, no matter how the foreign
market values, may vary in the different countries
from which any certain kind of article may be i'm
ported, the duty will be the same no matter from what
country imported. That is, the duty on an article
which may cost SO in England will be exactly the same
as on a similar article imported from Japan at a cost
OF 81. The duty is based upon the price of the similar
article of American production.
THE difference between the American valuation
and the foreign valuation may be illustrated as fol-
lows: Assume that an article which is dutiable under
the present law and under the Fordney bill at the
same rate of d,ty, which we will say is 25 per cent,
costs 50 in this country, S1.50 in England, s1.35 in
France, $1.2o in Germany, and $1.1o in Japan. The
duty will be based upon the American valuation, no
account being taken of it's foreign value so far as the
amount of duty is concerned. The duty would be 25
per cent of 50, or so cents.
but the articles imported from the dlferent coun
tries would not cost the same, any more than they do
under the present system. The foreign costs would be
the same under either system. That is the article from
Germany would cost S120, in that country, whether
our law provides Cor the assessment of duty under the
American or the foreign valuation. But the cost of
the article laid down in this country, duty paid, would
be different under the different systems. Under the
American valuation the duty would be rs per cent. of
81, or so cents, to which is to be added the German
cost, making the price laid down in this country $1.20
plus the duty, of so cents, or s1.70. Under the pres
emit law the duty would be based on the German value,
that is it would be rs per cent of s1.20, or 80 cents,
which added to the cost would make it cost here, after
the payment of duty, S1.50.
LET US illustrate by presenting in parallel columns
the different costs of foreign imported articles in this
country, including the foreign cost and the duty, using
the same article as above for example:

A Bank Is
Not a Morgue

= A man goes into a bank on an err
rand-to deposit, cash a check or
something else. Whatever it is, he
has to deal with some individual in
the bank. When he gets through
with the transaction he has secured
the only thing the bank has to sell
service.
That's the way The Wyoming Ma
tional Bank looks at it, and that's why
a man who comes into this bank is
treated as if he had come in for some
thing and wanted it. He gets it, and
gets it with a smile. Why not? A
bank is not morgue!
Some people come in to deposit
$1,000, others to be identified so that
they can cash check for a couple of
dollars. They all look alike. They
all get the smile. That's what we call
service.
Fifty dollars will open a checking
account, or a dollar a savings account.

The effect OF the American valuation system Will
be to produce more revenue than under the present
system, for the lower-cost countries will have to pay
the same amount of duty on the goods which they sell
here as do the higher-cost countries. The ultimate
consumers will pay the same under any circumstances,
the only ones who will not fare SO well being the i'm
porters and the lower-production cost countries. That
is why the importers are so anxious to defeat the
American valuation system--they want 10 put the diff
ference in their own pockets.
'But there is another reason why they oppose the
proposed system. Under the present law which pro-
vides for the assessment of duty on the basis of the
foreign valuation, the undervaluations have amounted
to millions of dollars annually, because it has been i'm
possible to accurately determine the foreign market
values Nor is that all. Even when it has been
shown that foreigners have sworn falsely to their in
voicer and that they have deliberately defrauded the
United States treasury out of vast sums of revenue,
they have escaped personal punishment for their
crimes, for they are not amenable to our laws, being
resident in foreign countries. The- do not care about
so small a matter as perjury when they cannot be pun
ishcd for it. They do not care for the penalties which
we impose upon underwriters, when they are not I'M
der our jurisdiction. The most that we can punish is
to impose additional duties which amount to but a
drop in a bucket in comparison with the larger
amounts of duty Of which they, in other cases, es-
cape the payment.
"But, under the American basis, there can be no
differentiation. Even if there could be, there would
be few who would care TO take any chances, since the
guilty parties would be under the jurisdiction of our
laws and subject to swift punishment.
"At first sight, these figures seem to bear out the
contention of the importers that the American valua-
ton plan increases the duty, but it must be remem-
bered that the rates of duty under the American val
uation are lower than under the foreign valuation. We
use the same rates of duty simply for purposes of
comparison In the illustration given it will be seen
that. under the American valuation, the cost of the
article made in this country and the duty paid cost of

AUSTRIANS CONSIDER
WORLD WAR ON JEWS
Anti-Semitic Congress Would

All Over Austria.

VIENNA. March Is. World W id e
war on Judaism was contemplated in
resolutions passed at the closing ses-
sion OF the Austrian anti-Semitic
congress yesterday. a world anti
Semitic congress was called to meet
in Budapest next autumn. and A CEN
tral bureau was created TO get in
touch with anti Semitic centerS
throughout the world.
Provision was made in the resolu-
tons for antiJewish demonstrations
similar to the one that occurred here
on Sunday in every provincial capital
Of Austria once each month.
The resolutions call on the govern
ment to expel all alien Jews by April
/ or accept responsibility for grave
consequences and also to impose eX-
ceptionally severe penalties on all
alien Jew offenders. A demand that
Jews be permitted to attend second
AIRY night schools only in proportion
to the permanent Jewish population
is made in the resolutions.
VIENNA, March 1.-THE anti
Semitic riots last night did more dam
age to plate glass than to human beings.
The firnness of the police in holding
the bridges Kept the crowds from the
ghetto. The rioters then vented their
wrath on the windows of the Jewish
stores. stoned automobiles and raided a
large restaurant, wrecking the place and
beating the diners.

END POSTMASTER 'SPOILS'
Consider Bona Eide Inclusion o1
Such Positions Under Civil
Service

The republican majority in Con-
gress are seriously considering plans
for a bona fide inclusion of presiden-
tial postmasters, which for long has
been the chief patronage spoils of the
in the civil service.
There apparently is wide diverg-
ence of opinion among the House re-
publicans as to what should be done
with the order of former President
Wilson placing postmasters under the
civil service. Replies to a question
naire sent out by Representative
Fess, Ohio. chairman of the republi-
can congressional committee, it was
said today, contain suggestions rang
ing from restoration of the old sys-
tenn to retention of some kind of a
civil service principle.
The replies are being tabulated and
will be laid before Postmaster Cen
eral Hays, who is expected to take
them with him when he talks the sit
uation over with President Harding.
Mr.. Hays has given no indication of
what recommendation he will make
to the President and a final decision
is not expected for some weeks.
Retention of the civil service prin-
ciple in whatever plan finally is
worked out is expected by some re-
publican leaders.
