Twice within month the American Legion
has effectively refuted the charge that it exists
for the selfish interests Of its own members
and to further the political ambitions Of the
few placed in positions Of leadership.
The offer Of the Legion to provide, through
its local posts, directions for aviators was q
constructive contribution to the cause of COM
mercial aviation in this cuntory. Every COM
munity should have it's name painted in large
letters on at least one roof and there cannot be
too many arrows, in white paint on roofs, point
ing to nearby airports and safe, landing fields.
Another constructive and universally popular
program Of the Legionnaires is the proposal to
organize 10000 boys between the ages Of IA
and II into baseball teams to compete in sec
tional play-offs and for a national amateur
baseball championship.
Organized baseball will finance the project to
the extent of $4,000 because it sees in the
amateur competition q source of future big
league players and fans Since the war the
major leagues have complained Of paucity of
young players Of major league caliber.
The public was instantly captivated by the
scheme because it has had the uncomfortable
feeling for q number Of years that sandlot
baseball, which it considers essential to the cul-
tivation Of character, has lost its appeal to
young Americans
Stimulation Of interest among younger boys

across in 1917 and 1913.

Washington, March IL. - More
than a billion dollars q year is lost
by Americans to get-rich-quick
promoters and stock swindlers.
Much of this is taken from
widows and others whose means
are so small that they risk-and
lose-everything in the belief that
they can attain financial comfort.
The swindlers work principally
through the United States mails.
For six years Congressman Ed
ward E. Denison of Illinois has
fought alone to end this situation
through federal legislation. But
the bill which he introduced in 1922
is still in Congress and it is not
likely to be passed this session un-
less pressure is brought to bear by
those who favor it. The reason is
that there is no politics involved
in the measure and there is opposi-
ton to it. That combination has
killed most bills designed for nc
other purpose than to serve the
public interest.

where in the west have been respon-
sible for blocking the bill, Denisor
says. It was once passed by the
House, but there was opposition in
the Senate which prevented the
vote required to make it law.
The Denison bill, introduced with
the backing of the Investment
Bankers Association, the National
Association of State Securities
Commissioners and the executive
committee Of the American Bank
ers' Association. provides that no
one shall send literature and secur.

Thus, it merely seeks to prevent
evasion Of state blue sky laws.
In 1910, Kansas enacted the first
so-called blue sky law to prevent
sale of fraudulent and worthless
securities. Other states have fol.

and Delaware, have them in one
form or another.

North Dakota's Master Farm Homemakers

minneapolis IrlDune)
The four North Dakota women who were
honored Thursday night at Fargo as master
farm homemakers are outstanding in their
realm, yet it is nice to believe that they are
fairly typical of, rather than brilliant excep-
tions to, the vast body of women they repre-
sent The purpose which lies behind their
signal recognition is not SO much to honor the
individual farm homemaker as to give full
credit to the farm home as vital major factor
in the agricultural industry. This the farm
home has been since the first crude makeshift
plow prepared the first farm plat for seed, yet
it is only recently that we have come to see that
the homemaker, no less than the farmer, makes
her unreasonable contributions to the success
of agricultural enterprise.
A glance over the records of North Dakota s
master farm homemakers is sufficient to con-
vince one that their titles are worthily be-
slowed. These are the women honored, and
without exception they have established sturdy
home ideals and looked to them faithfully and
Mrs. G. Z. Erickson of Crosby.
Mrs. w. F. Bellamy of Drayton.
Mrs. T. j. Kelsh of Fullerton.
Mrs. w. H. Buhr of Buffalo.
Each of these women has contributed might
lily to the high standards of an efficient farm
and an efficient home. Take their individual
achievements. blend them slightly, and you are
rewarded with very excellent composite photo
graph Of the master farm homenaker. You
will find that she is good mother, Jealous Of
her children's health, insistent on their ade.
quate education, careful to stress the place Of
thrift and industry in the scheme Of life. You
will find her manifesting an active interest in
and an intelligent understanding of the factors
which make the farm q going concern. You
will notice that she is not content with an eff
cient farm plant, but she sees to it that beauty
and comfort have their proper stress in soften.
ing the austere outlines Of industry. You will
note, too, that her vision extends beyond the
home to the community, and that her varied
and constructive interests embrace church and
club, welfare anc farm organizations, and the all
important duties Of citizenship.
An honor to Mrs. Erickson Mrs: Bellamy,
Mrs. Kelsh and Mrs. Buhr, Their honors are
the brighter because they did not labor for
them. but merely gave themselves, generously
|and devotedly, to the precious tasks Of home
making. The farm is q finer institution be-
cause It has been leavened, through the cen
|tnies, with the love and care and selflessness

The new operations for hernia
are q great deal more successful
than the older nethods, as the at.
tempt is made to divert the inside
pressure from the hernial sack
rather than to close the opening.
These operations, however, should
be avoided whenever possible, and /
will explain in tomorrow's article
how certain exercises and treat
ments may bring about a cure Of
the hernia in its early stages.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: j. o. L. asks: "Why
are not meat and potatoes . good
combination ?"
Answer: My theory about the
meat and potato combination is that
because meat is digested mostly in
the stomach and potatoes entirely
in the intestines, it is better not to
use those two foods together, as this
difference may interfere with the
digestion Of either the meat or
potatoes. This is, however, only
theory. The important fact is that
starches and proteins do not digest
as well together as II either were
combined with the non-starchy
vegetables. II your digestive power
is not strong, you can easily prove
this by taking a meal of meat,
sp:-ach and celery, and the other
meals Of these same foods with the
addition of some kind Of starchy
food.
Question: Inquirer asks: II
would like to know if chest-sound-
ing is a positive test for finding
out the condition Of the lungs"
Answer: Percussion of the chest
is a method which is valuable in
the hands Of a skilled diagnostician.
The best method of chest examina-
ton is with the Horoscope and the
use of X-ray pictures.
Question: M. j. B. asks: care
there any ways of telling when a
fast has been of sufficient length ?"
Answer: Only an expert diagnos-
ticia.. can tell when fast has been
Of sufficient length to get the most
complete results. However, it Is
perfectly safe for anyone to fast
for few days without any danger,
whatsoever. The return Of normal
hunger is an indication that the fast
has been taken long enough. Some
times this hunger does not return
for several weeks and one should
be under the care Of a physician
who understands the fasting cure
before undertaking a fast Of more
