Too many banks, too low capitalization are
the contributing causes of failures in this field
Of business. In time of stress such as the
whole nation felt as postwar condition, bank
failures demoralized financial affairs in many
communities. Out of this situation some les
sons were learned and the American Bankers
association in session recently at Houston,
Tex, discussed the epidemic of bank cosings
and failures and possible remedies.
The bankers, Of course, are absolutely sound
in urging fewer banks and minimum capital
ization Of from $4,000 to $4,000. North Da-
kota has always had too many banks and for
years it has been survival of the fittest. This
state should take steps to raise the minimum
capitalization of banks and throw other safe
guards around business into which so many
plunge now who are totally untitled for the
great trust imposed. Banking is highly tech
nical and specialized business, calling for pc
cuar ability and high order Of business
acumen. Wildcat banking should be prevented
by law, but such situation cannot be curbed
until the states through their legislatures
tighten up the banking laws.

Editorial Comment
Pumpkin Pie Supply Assured
columbus, Ohio, State JournaD

(OOIuHDuS, OIlO, OCdCe JOurnal)
The pumpkin crop is short, almost failure
in Ohio.
Such was the sad news made public recent
~. Apparently it is true. One may ride
along any road out of Columbus and watch
with care, yet see no golden pumpkin in the
field. not even where the folders in the shock
and all is revealed.
What about pumpkin pie?
Thanks be, all is not gloom ahead. Pump
kin crops may fail in Ohio, but that will not
keep from us the pie of high place in history
the pie Of which our mothers and grandmoth-
ers were SO proud and which they could pro-
duce so successfully. Modern science has
brought forth the canned pumpkin. It is fine
product, even if it may appear to lack some of
the fresh sweetness when the pumpkin is
fresh from the field, has been cooked in the
copper kettle, put into pies Of width, depth and
quality, magnificent and in every way salts
factory.
So hurrah for the man who first made pos
sible the canned pumpkin of commerce! Yea,
three hurrahs and tiger! He was a philos-
opher, a friend of man. He made possible
pumpkin pie at reasonable cost.

In this spot Napoleon had done

A UNIQUE HEALTH SERVICE

a UNIQUE HEALTH SERVICE
Several years ago when I began
writing for publication, the main oh.
ject ! had in mind was to distribute
knowledge which had come to me
through years Of private practice.
MY readers have probably noticed
that ! seldom quote any other au-
thor, but choose to write my articles
from my own personal experiences
with patients.
The practical information I give
l attempt to present in a simple
manner 30 it may be understood by
anyone. tn language I use is much
the same as l would use if you con-
suited in my private practice,
and my only desire is to help you
IN every way to understand the
science Of health.
In place Of consulting with only

these messages to several million
people on the North American Con-
tinent.
Those of you who have correspond
ed with me may wonder how | can
answer SO many thousands of let
tiers which l receive, and perhaps
you will be interested in knowing
Just how I carry on such an extern
sive correspondence. The simple
fact is that I have succeeded in Civ
ing health advice on q quantitative
basis.
Because Of understanding differ.
ent problems which confront the
health seeker, l have prepared
special articles on thousands
Of subjects regarding the
cause and cure of different
diseases, SO when you write to
ME, in addition to my necessarily
short personal reply, / can enclose
thousands Of words of advie, on the
subject in which you are interested.
These special treatises on different
diseases have been prepared in adj
vance so you receive an answer to
your letter within a few days.
The greatest problem is that COR
respondents insist on asking me to
diagnose their disorders which, of
course, I cannot do by correspond
ence. No attempt is made in this
department to do the work which is
naturally that Of your family physi-
clan. If you have been properly dag
nosed and do know the name of the
disorder from which you are suffer-
ing, I am always glad to send you
my opini IN about the best methods
of treatment.
Always remember that the advice
I send you is only my own opinion
based upon my, own study and my
experience with thousands Of pa

not expect me to criticize the opin-
ions of other doctors, or to attack

Washington, Nov. 2.-Anyone who
reads his Washington news will re-
call that the Federal Radio Commits
sion recently revoked for 80 days
the amateur operating license of
Eric H. Palmer, Jr., of Brooklyn, on
his fathers representations that the
youth had one foot in the grave as a
result of deterioration of his health
caused by his fanatical devotion to
his radio station.
The fact that the commission ac-
tually wrote lengthy letter to Eric,
advising him to 60 to bed early and
eat regular meals, was surprising.
So was the thought that here was a
father who couldn't control his adj
mittedly weak and undernourished
son and had to appeal to the govern
ment for help.
But the really significant fact
seems to be that Mr.. Eric II. Pal
mer, ST., is radio publicity man,
with offices in the Times building Of
New York.
And one will find on the business
stationery of Palmer, pcre, the brief
advertisement:
"News-Created, Chronicled and
Interpreted"
Some news, it is to be remem-
bered, Just happens. Other news is
created"
An ENJOYABLE time was had nv all
when the delegates to the interna-
tional radiotelegraph conference
went to New York on special
train for a weekend junket. Many
of the delegates encountered new
experiences.
There was, for instance, the ex-
pcrience of the German delegate
who had never encountered plate
glass door. In the Savoy-Plaza ho-
tel he attempted to walk right
through one of them under the i'm
preston that there was no door
there at all. Fortunately, no blood
was shed.
When time came to return, it was
found that New York newspaper
thoughtfully had deposited copy
of its Sunday issue in each seat on
the Pullmans reserved for the dele
gates. This open-handedness was
new business for the delegates with
the result that, after they had piled
into their cars many of them came
piling out, insisting that others had
their seats as evidenced by the news

smile on her lips, but dull, steady
pain in her heart. Carter? She'd
never even heard of him. Was he
goinu to do what? Surely Bob
might tell her something Of his
business! What fatuous smile
there was on his face as he COM
plimented Cherry on the rather
soggy eggplant! If she had cooked
it, he would have been silent as to
it's deficiencies or facetious about
them. And he so rarely praised q
dish Of her making. He took her
excellent cooking for granted, just
as he took her for granted. But
when Cherry rose to be gay, chatty,
impudent, how quickly he respond
ed!
Like to 60 to q movie tonight,
honey, II you're not too tired?"
Bob turned to her suddenly. They've
got Chang on at the Neighborhood

ual, the voice of q husband who
wants to make up but who does not
want to humiliate himself in doing
SO.
Cherry's brightness dropped from
her like the switching off Of q
light. $50 the eggplant wasn't

There always will be work for the family
d,ctor, even though the modern medical trend
is toward providing q specialist for every part
of the body, according to DR.. Charles H. Mayo
Of the famous Rochester clinic.
The family doctors main work now has be-
come diagnosis telling people what ais them
and where to 60 for the remedy. That, and
telling people who only imagine they are i'll
that there really is nothing the matter with
them. Of the latter sort, DR.. Mayo recently
said, many come to the Minnesota clinic seek
ing relief. Perhaps for these people, after all,
there never will be relief.
Diagnosis or no, we should hate to lose the
personality Of the good old-fashioned family
doctor who "knoWs less and less about more
and more" according to DR.. Mayo. The spe-
cialist, DR.. Mayo described as the imam who
knows more and more about less and less"
Whatever he knows, the family doctor always
has been man after our own heart-when we
were sick.
Who cannot remember the reassuring words,
spoken in some dim-lit hallway, "We'n pull her
through now, all right, think?" Those words
were golden to US.
Who cannot remember that pleasant face in
the dead of night? And how the boys face
lighted up when the doctors warm, confident
touch closed on his throbbing wrist?
Through storms and summer heat, day and
night miles upon miles. the family doctor has
gone on his mission Of health and mercy, a
sympathetic friend, sure comforter, patient,
careful, inspiring.
A place for the family doctor? There al
ways Will be place for him!

ment in them. Please give me your
opinion.

Art For Gosh Sakes


s Constantin Brancusi's bird has tapped into
,court again. But whether it's really bird
,or, in the language of the popular radio come
fdians, ut only thinks it is"-ay! there's the
rub!
Monsieur Brancusi's bird, know you, is a
.statue. It looks little like a traffic sema-
iphore, again a little like finger nail file.
Some crude persons even have likened it to a
piece Of plumbing and wondered how it ever
;got out from under the sink. Yet others clasp
their hands reverently when they see this
strange thing and call it grand.
J. A man bought it in Paris for something like
$1,000, which is expensive even for good plumb
ing. Bringing it to this country was another
matter. The good customs officials Of the port
Of New York didn't like this bird. Some Of
them even suggested this might be some new
tangled kind of Jimmy, imported by the Burg
lars Union Of the city of New York. The
point is: art comes in free, while if it were
only one of those things, it would cost $24O to
have it in this country.
So the courts are having merry time OF
It, finding out if this is bird or baby zebra's
teething ring or something. True, there are
no Michel-angelos in the customs service, but
the connoisseurs are being called in to COM
pare it with their own whatnots and see if it's
in tune.
We hope for a decision very soon. If the
customs folk finally decide this is art, we're
going out into the garage and get that monkey
wrench. Well place the tool in handsome
vase upon the piano and call it "Midwinter
ldiosyncrasy." So much for that.
