tire is one of the handiest tools for
use in and about the car. When the
motorist has no hammer with which
to strike the article he wishes to
bend, shake up or loosen, the next
step is to strike that article against
some object. For this the spare tire
comes in handy. 1t yields just
enough to prevent breakage of the
article. 1t is not damaged by such
service.
This process is useful, for in

pay wages due when demanded OF
falsely deny the amount or validity of
the wage with intent to secure for
himself a discount or with attempt
to annoy, harass, oppress, hinder,
delay or defraud a person to whom
such Indebtedness is due"
In the case decided one, Oswald, had
received a jail sentence for violation
of the act. For his defense he relied
upon a provision in the constitution
of California providing that no per-
son shall be imprisoned for debt in
any civil action on mesne or final
process, unless in the case of fraud,
''nor in civil actions for torts, except
in cases of wilful injuries to person or
property"
The court, upholding the constitu-
tionality of the law, held that the pen
atty imposed was for the commission
of a crime and that the constitutional
provision mentioned did not prevent
the legislature from passing law
providing Imprisonment for the viola
tion of criminal law
Other provisions of the law required
the department of labor to proceed
in the collection of wages where en-
ployers have refused to pay them. AS
a direct result of the departments
activities, the following amounts have
been collected in the past three years
by the California department of labor:
1922, $288,813.49; 1923, 1858, ,583.83;
1924, $504,58002; total, three years,

German Air Lines

The thoroughness with which Germany is devel-
oping aerial transportation is truly marvellous and
deserving Of sincere commendaticn No stone is
left unturned to give the air system the same de-
pendability and stability that evidenced by land
and water transportation. Late dispatches from
Germany state that the winter rates for passenger
airplane travel have been lowered until they are
slightly lower than first class railroad fare. This
winter some % lines will maintain constant service
the length and breadth Of the German republic.
These lines will cover 1000 miles of routes.
The planes to be used Of the most modern type,
being heated by hot water, the engine exhaust
being connected in such way to supply this
venience.
Germany has every important city some
mir route One may travel all Germany and
even all over Europe entirely by airpane in small
fraction Of the time formerly required for train
veyance.
America might well take page from Germany's
experience in the development Of commercial avia-

it will be necessity. In America, where the dis

What's Behind II?
Fargo FORUM

Sinclair Lewis has hied himself to Washington.
there to reside during the winter with senators and
congressman. diplomats and government employees,
president and cabinet, and the social elect Of the
teemng capital. Mrs. Lewis has leased home in
the very center Of the big scene, and Red himself
will spend part of each day there. writing new
novel for publication in the spring. How he will
spend the remainder of each day is not known to
this commentator, but it is fervently hoped that a
great deal Of it will be passed in the galleries Of
the house and the senate and rambling through the
corridors Of the many government buildings. The
nights, of course will be devoted attendance upon
the celebrity chasers and the givers If receptions
and dinners and balls, for Red, Lewis himself is
quite Lion.
The announcement that Lewis is to reside in
Washington for the winter is intriguing. Behind
it looms much that is of tremendous interest. Can
it be that this young upstart from Sank Center is
going to write the great satire of American pcli-
tics? If SO, this commentators hat immediately
goes into the air. and when the book comes GU.

Great Amount of
Good Accomplished
With Seal Funds

Some idea Of the worthwhile work
Of the funds earned through the
sale Of Christmas seals by the North
Dakota tuberculosis Association may
be gained from the following facts
concerning expenditures:
A, travelling health clinic was main
tained in seven counties where doc.
tors are few and where there are no
public health nurses to help detect
the disease. Many people are getting
we'll as a result Of advice given be-
fore the disease became too serious.
The child health education depart
ment of the tuberculosis Associa-
ton was financed. The department
teaches school children. by meaSIk of
a health crusade. health habit and
preventive measures. n
Children's clinics were maintained
in counties desiring them. Towns
and counties were helped with public
health nursing service in caring for
tuberculosis cases. Visits were
made to the homes Of patients who
could not be cared for at the sani-
tarium to show them how to help
themselves and to prevent spread Of
the infection in the family.
Health exhibits were conducted ut
jamestown, Grand Forks, Langdon,
New Rockford, Darlington. Wahpeton
and Cavalier. Public health educa-
ton was supported in drive against
tuberculosis through the distribution
Of pamphlets. books. newspaper arti-
cles and health exhibits. This in
cluded the financing Of the Pennant,

" which IN distributed monthly.

Employment Keeps Up


/. Industrial employment and earnings for October
showed a continuing increase compared with fig
urcs for September and for October, 1925, the
bureau of labor statistics department Of labor, has
announced. Employment was Oh per cent greater
than September and OF per cent greater than IN
October, 1925. Earnings show increase OF 81
per cent ever the previous month and 2.5 per cent
increase over the figures for October year ago.
This report is based upon study Of 1928 estao'
lishments employing more than 100000 workers
and in 30 OF the 81 separate industries represented
gains in employment were reported. The per capita
earnings in all industries increased 3.4 per cent IN
October as compared with September
1t is an encouraging sign this maintenance OF
the employment scale at high level. Employment
is an excellent index Of prosperity in its relation
with the working man. The country might easily
be financially prosperous without the workers being
really pr .sperous. But when the ratio OF employ
ment is high and the scale Of wages is high, ther
the influence Of prosperity reaches every strata OF
society and we have prosperous country indeed

Trees May Be Raised
From Small Cuttings

Cuttings are one means of prOpa-
eating certain kinds of trees, accord
ing to Charles A. Gillett, extension
forester, North Dakota school of
forestry, Bottineau, cooperating with
the extension department at the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
"The most common trees which are
raised by cuttings are the willow.
cottonwood and poplar he says.
MANY farmers have raised these
trees themselves. Cuttings may be
made as late as this time if ground,
in which to bury them, can be found
which is not frozen. In making
cuttings summer growth preferably
should be used. These cuttings
should be made about the size of a
pencil or nine inches in length. For
convenience in handling tie them in
lunches of so or more (any conven-
tent number) and bury them in pit
over winter. This pit should be deep
enough to allow for a three or four
inch covering of earth over which
straw is placed. The dirt must be
closely and firmly packed around and
between the bundles to avoid air
spaces which permit them to become
moldy and therefore worthless. BY
running the dirt or sand in with water
this will be avoided.
1T is a good practice to plant
these cuttings in the garden for II
year and then transplant them 10
the shelterbelt instead Of sticking the
cuttings in the shelterbclt row.
After the cutting is grown year in
the nursery it is cut back. The ad-
vantage of rooted cutting is that
the root has years head start on
the top"

play that one or two false notes

Is !Prussian Play
Sudermann's play deals with the
trials of young Prussian girl in the
late COS. The heroine. the daughter
Of a strict family, is forced to live in
a manner which she dislikes. She
leaves home and faces the public as
Il singer. Soon she gains remarkable
success and comes home, not neces-
s;rily to gloat over the parents who
had turned her out, but, plainly, to
show them that success is possible Of
attainment in more than one line of
endcavor.
Success rarely comes without a
struggle certainly not in any of. the
arts. and Bertha Kalich endured such
. struggle as few actresses Of our
stage know III attaining her present
position Of eminence. Her progress
has been much the same that Sudcr-
mann attributed to "Magda."
And now, after proving her ability
to electrify audiences in all parts of
the world, Kalch is appearing in the
title role in one Of the chief master
pieces Of modern drama.
