Editorial Comment
Where's the Speed Limit
(Eoruo Eor,ln1\

Perhaps North Dakotans were interested a
day or two ago, in news dispatch telling of a
supposed "record run" between Fargo and
Mandan, with car driver boasting that he had
covered the distance Of 2O6 miles in 3 hours
and So minutes.
If our calculations are correct, that is at the
rate Of about So miles an hour.
North Dakota highways were not built for
speedways, and their use. even for advertising
purposes, is not permitted under the law Of
the state passed during the last session of the
legislature.
Record runs are okeh but let them be made
somewhere other than on the public highways.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, April 17.-Congress
may decide to determine in the
short time left before it whether
it is true that q million children
are existing on less than proper
living standards and, il SO, whether
$25, 100000 should be appropriated
to take care Of them.
This is the contention Of the
group which is urging passage Of
the Wheeler LaGuardia resolution
to create q federal child relief board
and hopes that it will have q chance
to prove its case at q hearing be-
fore a Senate or House committee.
Proponents of the measure assert
that strikes and sectional depres-
sions in textile manufacturing
cities, the bituminous coal fields and
some agricultural areas have strick-
en- the children of workers and
farmers as their principal victims.
The fact that children have suf-
fered in the coal fields is generally
recognized and Senator Wheeler Of
Montana and Congressman LaGuar-
dia of New York believe they can
prove that many children are also
undcrnourished and underclothed in
other sections.
The main opposition they must
face, however, is based on the doubt
whether such relief is duty of the
federal government. There is some
doubt no. whether the bill will have
an open hearing or not.
If it does, testimony about the
condition of children will be heard
from President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers of America,
President Thomas F. Mcmahon of
the United Textile Workers of
America and representatives of
other labor unions. President Will
liam Green of the American Fedora
ton Of labor may appear.
Opponents of the resolution do
not believe that conditions among
children are anywhere near as bad
as painted and argue that passage
of the bill would be DANGEROUS ex-
pertinent in paternalism.
The Wheeler and LaGuardia
measures are alike except that La
Guardia would appropriate $75,0OO,-
600 for the job, whereas Wheeler
asks only $25,000,000.
LaGuardia's resolution provides:
"That there is hereby created q

board to administer relief for chill
dren in distress in prolonged strikes
such as those in the bituminous Goa
mines, children Of the unemployed
and of other parents in extreme
poverty, including children Of farm
ers in distressed agricultural areas
to be known as the Federal Child
Relief Board, to consist of the Sec
rotary of labor, the chief Of the
children's bureau of the Department
Of Labor, and the secretary Of agri-
culture"
The board would have power ia
buy food and clothes for needy chill.
dren and to make cash payments ia
parents and otherwise contribute ia
child welfare, but it is specifically
provided that nothing in the resolu.
ton would authorize the placing Of
any children in institutions.
It is unlikely that the resolution
will be favorably reported by any
congressional committee and it may
not even get to a vote. Opposition
presumably would be Forthcoming
from large employers who would
c~:.'plain that any such establish
ment as that proposed would
amount to federal subsidy of strik-
ing workmen.
The fact is, of course, that no
government agency has any COM
prehensive data on the actual con-
dition Of children in the coal fields,
children Of the many persons now
unemployed or children on farms.
The Committee for Federal Re-
lief for Children which is backing
the legislative project says, how.
ever, that such regional and local
Investigations as have been made
indicate considerable suffering
among children under IA. It points
out, with the hope of gaining sup
port from industry, that if child
health is now imperiled, in many
cases the efficiency of the workers
Of tomorrow will be considerably
lessened. In it's propaganda on be-
half Of the resolution, it admits
American prosperity, but says it is
lcps;ded.
The committee chairman is the
Rev. Hubert c. Herring of Boston.

Three Main Obstacles
Three main obstacles stand be-
tween AL Smith and the presidency,
according to his friends. One is
his religion, one is his antiprohibi-
ton stand and the third is . sort
Of general impression that the
former East Slider is an uncultured
and unrefined social creature who
wouldn't know how to act in the
White House if he got there.
For his religion, Governor Smith
has no apologies to make. The pro-
hibition issue can be met from the
platform. But already the CAM
paign is under way to show Sl-.ith's
social metamorphosis from the CO.
coon Of the Bowery to butterfly
chrysalis Of the refined drawing
room and thus prove his cultural
eligibility for the White House.
IN personal appearance, Smiths
tailorS have made him everything
that COULD be asked in sartorial
elegance, compatible with good taste.
In his speeches, this self-made man
who left school before he was is
carefully guards his grammar. In
his official appearances, he has
never been guilty Of any act that
would reflect discredit on the dig
nifty or decorum Of his state.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: l. T. writes: II am
so years Of age, and have had
eczema for twelve years. Will you
kindly name the foods should use.
Is there . sanitarium that you
would advise for . few weeks Or
longer II satisfactory"
Answer: Take fast for . few
days and follow the menus ! give
you each week in this column. Any
ordinary case Of eczema can be
cured by the use Of . correctly
balanced diet. No sanitarium treat
ment is necessary II you will fol-
lo-.' the proper regime ct home.
Question: K. L. NJ. writes: Fl
have trouble sleeping 1t night. Will
you please tell me the cause Of this?
Also, I have . dizzy feeling in my
head upon arising"
Answer: Insomnia il generally
produced by overeating 1t the eve
ming meal, or using foods which
make stomach gas. This would also
cause biliousness, with the resultant
dizzy spells which you experiences
each morning.
Question: Mary J. writes: "Does
. rise in temperature Of from one
fifth to three-fifths Of . degree
signify any bodily disease? This
rise comes sometimes in the morn.
Ing, but generally in the after
noon"
Answer: such . slight rise in
temperature does not indicate any
specific disease. Most people are
below normal in temperature dur
ing tho morning and come up to
normal in the afternoon. Normal
temperature undoubtedly varies
with different people.
