AN INTERESTING TEXT BOOK

Alonzo G. Grace, Instructor in Anthropology
at the University Of Minnesota is the author OF
an interesting text book on immigration and
Amercanization This book is Of double interest
to Bismarck as it's author has been resident here
and for the other reason that this subject is prac-
tically in it's infancy in the curriculum of Amer
ican colleges. M&
Professor Grace sets forth very ably in his pre-
face the object Of his book. The opening para
graph, which is printed below, gives the idea in
the authors mind when he gathered together the
interesting material to be found in the book:
ITO be able to analyze and interpret all of the
material available on the great problem Of immi-
grafton and Americanization is much more than
one man can do in an ordinary lifetime. The facts
gathered for this book are merely with view of
/ enlightening the Americanization director and
teacher and to show that the solution for the prob
lem of the immigrant lies in the able and intelli-
! gent organization of every community in Amer
ica." ri a3sG o..
This text book is divided into two parts. The
first portion Of the book is devoted wholly to i'm
migration problems and in the second part the
Americanization movement is emphasized. Every
one should be interested in the problem of Amer
icanzation and the study of this text book throws
new light upon very interesting and vital issue
before the American people today. l.
The Tribune commends this book to the high
schools and colleges which seek to inform the
student body on the problems involved in Amer
icanization.

] ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

Pretty soon the travellers came to
the big front door of the factory that
Mr.. Crane had been telling them about.
Just inside stood dozen ,storks ar
guing noisily. That was the sound
Nancy and Nick and Buskins had
heard as they came down the road OF
this queer country. They were still
in the sky, you know, in the Land of
Runaway Feathers.
And this was what the stOrks were
arguing about. There was only one
pinky-blue silk comfort to be had,
and each stork demanded it, saying
he was on his way to Babyland to take
a brand new baby to mortal family,
and how could he with nothing to
carry it in!
Mr.. Crampleg Crane sighed. "Ho, I
he,- hum he said in resigned tone.
1T will have to be a riddle again, |
guess. It's the onlyoway out" "fn3&
"Riddle!" said Nick, looking very
much puzzled "How can a riddle do
any good?" 5sss8
"One. .comfort-12 storks," answered
Mr.. Crane, wagging his head, "and
each stork with stubborn disposi-
ti0n. When it happens this way, as
it sometimes does when we run out
of Silk, or eiderdown, or both, just
think up riddle. The first stcrk
giving the correct answer gets the
comfort But the trouble is, I've run
out cs riddles. They know all of
mine. Do you know any new ones?''
NO" Nancy remarked thoughtfully,
but can make one up"

But Buskins had something to say.

said he. "Ask them, What's the diff

turning to the storks he repeated the
question.
The storks waggled their heads.

EDITORIAL REVIEW
Comments reproduced in this column may may not
express opinion of The Tribune They presented here
in order that readers have both sides Of important Issues
which being discussed in the press Of the day II
LEARNING AND UNLEARNING SCIENCE

Prof. Edwin E. SlOssOn, who has made Elnsteln
easy and chemistry captivating, makes some in
teresting remarks in current magazine on the
need of more good popular Interpreters Of science.
He sees two things hampering the lay observer.
The first is the hedge of technical terms with
which the specialist surrounds his laboratory, and
the second is the rapid progress Of science. In
deed science is shooting ahead so rapidly that the
layman who had science courses only a few years
ago finds his preparation useless for understand
ing present developments.
There is one impressive fact which Prof. Slos-
son fails to emphasize about the progress of the
physical science The basic courses Of less than q
decade ago are now inadequate, because science
has been busiy engaged in tearing out it's own
foundation. Einstein seemingly has lifted the
fundamentals out from under a good block of the
scientific structure. Studies in rado-activity
which appear at present to be leading back to
alchemy, have knocked the props from beneath
various other branches.
It is true that the practical superstructure has
not yet been greatly altered by these basic changes
But it may be. There seems to be certain econ
omy of effort about taking basic courses in what
may be called the static studies-linguistics, fol
example The languages, dead and living, stant
on permanent foundations. Science progresses
largely by disproving accepted scientific theories

The three ships in which Columbus sailed to
discover America were considered fine vessels in
their day. Yet the three combined could carry
only 120 people, with provisions.

will make its first trip across theAtlantic to New
York. It will carry 400 passengers and a crew

GOLD HANDCUFFs

Would you contribute so cents to sure-fire
scheme for wiping out the national debt for your
descendants?
All right, suppose every one in America chips
lin so cents. That would give a fund of about
1854 4,0OOO 900 = not much in these days when gov
ernment spenders think in terms of billions.
Or let Congress set aside $54,0O0,O00.
Put it out at per cent interest. In 80 years,
lit would have grown to more than $25 000 600 900,
enough to wipe out the national debt and leave
several billions in the bank for our great-great-
grandchildren. !,
At per cent interest, it would take about 100
years.
Money doubles in II years 246 days at per
cent compound interest, and in nine years two
days at 8 per cent.
This scheme will interest Henry Ford. He could
change his will, set aside $54, 100000 in trust
fund, and in 80 years have $25,000,000000 as a
gift to tax-ridden Americans. aaW " 54a
The scheme, which is simple and workable,
doesn't come from Wall Street bankers. III
1t is advanced by village business man-W, B.
Kendall of Bowdoinham, Me. @
Kendall recently took up collection Of $3.50
among his neighbors. Eighty years from now,
interest will have swollen this nest-egg to $4,000.
In the year 20O2, that Should be enough to buy
couple Of dozen eggs orssendua ton of freight half
mile.
Kendalls scheme is so sensible that probably
nothing ever will come of it.
It should drive home, though, to every Amer
can, the tremendous power of compound interest
to create great fortunes.
The prominent Americans who are as rich as
chocolate cake have wisened to the psychology Of
"shirtsleeves to shrtsleeves in three generations
- the dissipation Of great family estates by a
couple Of generations of heirs.
Having wisened, they are sewing up their
money in trust funds. In many cases, the heirs
get only part of the interest
The dead hand Of the fortune builder reaches out
from the grave and continues piling up, more
wealth.
Kendall, of Maine, shows how compound inter-
est can swell $500OOO00 to $25, 900, 100000 in 80
years.
Pause, for moment, to reflect what some of the
huge fortunes of 1922 will total 80 years hence if
the trustfound-fo idea goes indefinitely.

WONDER IF WE GET ANY OF THE GOAT

Ever eat any goat meat? Sure? Department
of Agriculture says about 142000 goats are
slaughtered and sold as meat yearly Few cities
require goat meat to be marketed under it's real
name. It tastes like mutton, trifle sweeter
In this nightmare called civilization, we prob
ably eat great many strange things without
knowing it.

article Of food, few city folks would have to be
cautioned against overeating.

try and be fairly sure Of getting pure food that

COMPETING FREIGHT ROUTES.

The proposal to confer upon Amer
lean ships freedom from Panama
canal tolls is being given a rest. while
the shipping interests concentrate
their efforts on an attempt to obtain a
ship subsidy. Despite the payment
of tolls and the lack of a subsidy ships
passing thru the canal have become
competitors of the transcontinental
railroads to an extent that is proving
disastrous to the railroads
The competition did not begin to
show results in 1920, which was an
average year of large general traffic,
but in 1921, when general activity was
simmering down to very low volume.
the canal activity increased heavily
American cargoes originating on the
Pacific coast and passing thru the
canal in 1920 totaled around $40. 600
tons. In 1921 this amount rose 70
over 100000 tons. Similarly, canal
cargoes coming from the western
states to the Pacific coast. and thence
thru the canal to Europe, in 1920
totaled around 100000 tons. But in
1s21,ea bad year for railroads, they
went up to the comparatively very
large figure of 100000 tons-just
about. double the traffic for the pre-
ceding year.
Now this increase in canal business
was not due, OF course, to increase in
general business. but was taken away
from the railroads as a result of the
high railroad rates making it cheaper
for freight to take the longer trip.
Cargoes Fhich wereN formerly train
loaded from the west direct to the At
lantic seaboard and then shipped to
Europe, were sent to Pacific ports
put on board ships. carried down the
coast. thru the canal, across the Gulf
OF Mexico. UP and across the Atlantic
ocean.
This is a serious matter for the rail-
roads. because the eleven hundred
thousand tons which the canal gained
IN 1891 traffic came directly out OF
the volume OF business which the rail-
roads would have carried Sc their
rates had been low enough to compete
with the water rates.
It has been the contention OF the
railroads that they could not reduce
rates without losing money unless cost
OF operation could be reduced thru a
lowering OF wages. A reduction Of
wages has been resisted by the en-
ployes with more or less success.

THE -FOUR POWER TREATY.

On the fate of the four power
treaty. which is being made the sub
ject of partisan action in the United
States senate. probably rests the sue
cess or failure of the whole work of
the Washington armament confer
ence. Unless it shall be ratified. the
other treaties become mere scraps of
paper.
The four powers signatories to the
pact are the United States, the Brit
ish Empire, France and Japan. 1t
provides that if a controversy arise
between any of the parties, the others
shall be called in for joint confer
ence If the Pacific rights of seither
are threatened by any other power
the four countries shall consider what
joint action they may take to meet
the emergency. The treaty is to re-
main in force for ten years.
A declaration accompanies the
four power treaty to the effect that it
shall include the inundated islands in
the Pacific, but shall not be deemed
an assent on the part of the United
States to those mandates; also exclud-
ing domestic questions from the effect
Of the treaty. A treaty supplemental
to the four power treaty excludes the
main islands of the japanese Empire
from its influence.
Dependent upon ratification Of this
treaty is that of the United States. the
British Empire, France, Italy and ia
pan, limiting naval ornaments. and
the various undertakings relating to
China.
The action OF the senate calls to
mind that of Nero. who is said to have
PLAYED the fiddle while Rome burned.
