BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service WriferN

Washington, Sept. 5.-Almost a
hundred years ago, young Oliver
Wendell Holmes wrote "Old Iron
sides" and saved the famous old
frlgate Constitution from being
broken up and junked.
Today the remaining national
shrines, places where reverent tour
lists bare their heads and tiptoe
about as if in sacred precincts, have
dwinLled to a very few, for not many
OF them have had an Oliver Wendell
Holmes to save them for further
generations.
Congress passes numerous bills
to erect expensive monuments in
commemoration Of insignificant In
dian skirmishes and to the greater
glory of individual congressman in
their own districts. But it seldom
concerns itself with objects of ma
tlonal interest much more significant
in American history and one can
hear a fine tale of woe from old
hackmen here who wall that there
isn't much ito show" any more.
Congress, seems to be the only
body that can prevent the destruc-
ton Of one more splendid structure
which links this age to the past. To
do that, however, it must decide
whether it dares flout the will of the
Hon. William Howard Taft, chief JUS
tice of the United States. It must
join the school of thought which
holds that anything old ought to be
replaced with something bigger,
gaudier and better or another school
which believes that some old things,
because of their part in history and
their remaining beauty, ought to be
preserved.
A long time ago Mr.. Taft began
to feel cramped in the supreme
courts present quarters in the cap
itol and looked around him for a site
for fine new judicial building. He
picked on square and q couple of
triangles just south of the capitol
grounds, between the Methodist
building and the Library Of Con-
gress.
The block contains, among other
things, the old capitol where the
House and Senate met after the
British burned the original capitol
in the War Of 1912. Fearful lest the
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-09-05

to save it from demolition, prefer
ring that it be taken over and pre-
served by the government.
All attempts to persuade Taft
that there are various equally ap-
propriate sites bordering the CAPT
tol grounds, now owned by the gov
eminent and thus available without
cost, have failed. Taft insists that
the old capitol be torn down and his
new court house there erected.
Condemnation proceedings have
been begun. The Woman's party
values the property at a million
dollars and has brought the leading
real estate men Of the city to testify
that it's physical value alone is worth
more than half that amount. But
the government witnesses have told
the condemnation commissioners
that the ground is worth but $751;
600 and that the building is quite
valueless.
Perfectly outrageous!" says
Maude Younger. national execu-
tive Of the Woman's party. "They
only have $1,5O0,OOO to spend for
the site and they're putting values
on property in this section lower
than the owners originally paid for
it. Confiscation!"
Senator T. n. Caraway Of Ar
kansas is the prince on the white
horse who is trying to save the old
capitol from Taft and the modern
lists. Last session the Senate
unanimously passed his resolution
which would hold up condemnation
pending an investigation, only to
have it sidetracked in the House by
Speaker Longworth. When Con-
gress meets again, the supporters of
the resolution hope to get it through.
It's the only hope they have left.
Although no promise is made of
bigger and better justice in the new
supreme court building, there is no
question that the court needs more
room. Most of the members now
maintain offices in their homes, at
their own expense.
But Caraway, Miss Younger and
the Woman's party can point out q
lot Of other nice places where moth
ing would have to be torn down
which would ever be missed.

GOTTRE


This disease has been found in
every country in the world, and
many theories have been advanced
as to its cause. For . long time it
was supposed that the absence Of
iodine in food was responsible for
this condition, and this idea is still
being exploited by manufacturers in
many parts Of the country, but this
cannot be the true cause Of goitre
since it is present in the female sex
about six times as frequently % in
the male, and both sexes presumably
consume about the same amount Of
iodine. The fact that goitre is very
prevalent in Switzerland and in
other mountainous districts where
people do not obtain much iodine in
their drinking water or food has
been frequently used as proof Of this
statement. However, along the Jer-
sey coast and in many parts Of
Japan, where iodine is plentifully
supplied in both food and drinking
water, goitre is frequently found.
Excessive use Of starch seems to be
an important factor in producing en-
largement Of the thyroid gland.
1t is well known fact that the
thyroid gland is slightly larger in
women than in mon, and this gland
becomes swollen at various periods
in Z woman's life. In fact, many
goitres in women originate and are
associated with some type Of female
arrangement; possibly one-sixth of
the cases OF women, or about an
equal number Of the cases Of ..en
can be traced to toxic substances
that accumulate in the thyroid gland
and cause it to become enlarged.
The thyroid is one Of the ductless
glands that have furnished material
for much research, and probably
more is known about the action Of
the thyroid than Of the other duct
less glands, such as the pituitary,
adrenal, or gonads. This little organ,
situated at the base of the throat in
front Of the windpipe, is shaped very
much like two small kidneys, one at
either side and connected together
below the Adams ample. Expert
ments tend to prove that it is a regu-
lator Of other glands, too much thy
roid secretion speeding up, and too
little causing a slowing down. A
person affected with too much thy
roid secretion will have pulse Of
100 or over, which is probably the
most dangerous effect from the thy
roid.
Nearly 100000 people in the
United States suffer from some form
Of thyroid trouble, and most Of them
are in the hyperthyroid, or too much
thyroid secretion class. It is one of
the principal causes of heart trouble,
which claimed over 10000 lives in
California alone during a period Of
one year.
This friendly little gland can be-
come your greatest enemy, If it is
irritated by toxemia. If your nerv-
BUSINESS is increasing and your heart
action more rapid, your little thyroid
may be responsible.
There are many forms of thyroid
arrangement, but the two most COM
mon types are called simple. goitrc
and exophthalmic goitre. The simple

THE DANGERS OF sUNBURN

The UANGERS OF SUNBUKN
The suns rays possess health-giving qualities and
is fine to expose ones body to them. Young children,
in particular need sunlight; shut off from it they
not grow properly.
Yet it is possible to overdo the matter.
Get coat Of tan, by all means; but avoid sunburn.
And if you have child, make his "sun baths" rather
short. childs skin burns easily than adults
you expose his naked body to the too long the
consequences may be tragic.
