The repair truck stopped and a

A Striking Contrast
(St. Paul Dispatch)

Perhaps had the scene been set with view of :
centng the contrast between two men, each leaders
in their group two sets of principles, Of antag-
onism, the other of cooperation; and between two
methods, the one practical the other academic, it
could not have been so effective the setting of
the speech of C. Reinod Noyes president of the st
Paul Association, at open air concert in Wilton,
N. D., when the Trade tour train stopped at that
city.
Wilton is in Mclean county, the greatest strong
hold Of the Nonpartsan league east of the Missouri
river and the point at which the largest Ignite coal
mine in the state is located. Directly east Of it
about 40 miles is Robinson, where A. c. Townley,
former leader Of the Nonpartisan movement, is en-
gagged in experimenting drilling for oil.
Into this territory where for ten years A. c.
taught the belief that business is the natural and
eternal enemy Of agriculture, c. Reinold Noyes

merce and agriculture partners who must rise
of fall together Language like this will not be lost
on North Dakotans:
We must work together for set detectives.
The farming districts are just as dependent on
the growth of the cities as are the cities de-
pendent upon the farms We, in st. Paul, have
definitely adopted program the obtain

means.

the attitude of St. Paul the support of the farm

Traffic Deaths

Professor Lewis W. Mcintyre of the University Of
Pittsburgh declared at recent meeting of the Ma
tiona Highway Traffic association that traffic acct
dents in America increasing at proportion
atey higher rate than the production of automobiles
There were approximately 10000 deaths and 100000
injuries to pedestrians in the United States last year
according TO his figures Pedestrians were involved
in two-thirs of the automobile accidents resulting
in injury death.
One suggestion made by Professor Mcintyre
should be followed He said that if accidents to
children playing between street intersections to-
gether with accidents to adults at street ntersec-
tions, could be utterly eliminated, accidents to
pedestrians would be cut IS per cent and that
tional movement should be gotten under way to ed
ucate the children in the schools to play where there
is no danger of being struck by automobile. Also
he would have all cities enact stringent regulations
which would to regulate traffic crosswalks
and place heavy penalty on jay-walking.
Perhaps all these features could be combined in
one great nationwide program, campaign for the
elimination of pedestrian injuries and fatalities. II
this were done nationwide organization would
have to undertake it. Perhaps the National Safety
Council, or the American Automobile association.
some association of insurance companies could
devote the time and money necessary to effective
campaign Certainly something must be done.
Automobiliss forced to obey all sorts of regu-
latons, traffic and otherwise and they are handling
a cumbersome machine, whereas the pedestrian must
only take Of himself. 1t is. easier for pedes-
trian be careful and he should be required to take
at least normal care of himself, not only for him
SELF but for the sake of the unfortunate motorist in
front Of whose car he blindy walks.

An International Bank

Mr.. Frank A. Vanderlir famous New York banker,
whose success in that field has entitled him
than ordinary consideration in financial affairs has
made another, and most interesting, suggestion
which has elected very favorable comment from
English financial men. Briefly, it is proposal for
a Pan-American bank which should be international
in scope, independent Of the economic laws Of all
European countries and probably established under
the protection Of the League Of Nations Under the
plan the league council would be empowered to issue
in 500 shares the initial capital Of 81 900 900. Th
proposed international bank would have directorate
of nnc Of which five would be Americans and there
would be stringent regulations against the directors
participating in any other business.
In those countries which would be shareholders in
the new bank, for which the proposed title is the
Bank of the United States of Europe" special ma
tional branch banks would be established with the
capital to be determined by themselves. These ma
tional branches would extend credit facilities against
bills of exchange, while, should the necessity
the head office would supply dollars to the branch
bank against duly endorsed bills.
While this would be distinctly departure in
the realm of banking. nevertheless even to the lay
mind, it has several distinct advantages The great
est would be in the resulting partnership Of the
moneyed interests of all nations. Money plays a
large part in international relations disagreements
and wars and if these moneyed interests could be
grouped as q cooperative unit much financial fric-
ton would be avoided and, in consequence, would
he less likely
As to it's stimulus to international trade no one
could doubt the influence of such an international
bank. 1t would serve to coordinate the economic
forces of all the European countries and provide an
efficient organization which could work very eff
fcctively for better international business relations

Those Shining PateS!

TO few persons is a bald head welcome Most
men suffer terribly when their hair begins to thin
out and the white crown Of the head comes shining
through. But the Bald Head Club of America com.
prises proud Of their glttering cranal pos
sessions that they have deeply resented the avowcd
intention of few members to advocate the endow-
ment Of college chair to study badness its causes,
treatment and cure.
"No' say the bald heads, 1--WE will not permit
such an investigation We don't want hair that has
to be cut all the time. It's too effemnate.' And
perhaps they're right. Anyway, bald heads cool
