Editorial Comment
DIR. WORK PREPARES TO STEP DOWN
minneapolis Tribune

lMlnneap0uS 1rlbune)
when DR.. Hubert Work resigns as chairman of the Re-
publican national committee. next fall, it is probable that
more than one OF his party associates will accept the
TACT OF his retirement in an extremely philosophical mood.
Juggling by the campaign results, DR.. Work has been an
unqualified success as committee chairman. and, tlleorct-
lcauy at least. his passing should be the occasion for con-
siderable anguish in the Republican ranks. Actually.
though. 1t is probable that he will step from the picture
with only such slight emotional outbursts as arc implied
IN the usual formal regrets and perfurctory party lam
%entations.
The impression that most of us had Of DR.. Work in the
montnS previous to the election was that of a sincere,
jealous worker for the Hoover cause. whose capabilities,
outstanding rs they were in certain we'll defined fields
were yet lar from ideally suited to the demands of the
committee workmanship. Dr.. Work had LOYALTY and he
nad enthusiasm and he had administrative talents
winch were proved as secretary Of the interior. but it was
apparent. early IN the campaign, that he did not possess
the knack Of conciliating and harmonizing, to a point OF
maximum efficiency. the various elements within the
party. II was no secret that bad feeling developed be-
tween the Republican chairman and some Of his CO.
workers, and that the note OF harmony which seemed to
dominate the Hoover campaign tents was sometimes more
apparent than real. 1t was also no secret either that the
work enthusiasm for voicing the campaign issues ran far
ahead OF the Work capacity for tactful. diplomatic utter
ance: Crcoit should always be given the doctor for very
excellent intentions, but 1t is no reflection on the colnpe-
tency OF Or. Work to say that tenperamentally, at least
ne was not the happiest choice possible for committee
chairman. HIS resignation, by and large, represents
something less than an irreparable loss to the national
party organization.

THE TOLL THE WINDS TAKE

The United States Of America, being a wide and broad
country in which the winds have plenty of room to get up
steam, pays an extremely high price for such meteor
illogical disturbances as windstorms and tornadocs.
According to figures compiled by the Travellers 1nsur-
ance Co. Of Hartford, Conn, tornadoes and windstorms
in this country took nearly 1000 lives and caused property
damage Of approximately 100000 in 1923.
Oddly enough. the worst damage was done by disturb
anccs that are classed as high winds instead OF tornadocs.
Windstorms took 1860 lives and caused s35, 600 900 worth
OF damage, the rest being due to the more dreaded, but
apparently less dangerous. tornadoes.
These dangers, apparently, are more or less inescap-
able. No one SO far has suggested any good tornado or
wind preventive.

THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT

Several years ago a group OF American manufacturers.
with products Russia needs. and American bankers. with
money Russia needs even more. were taken on q tour OF
Russia. It was a personally conducted tour in the full
sense Of the phrase, for they saw nothing but that which
the soviet officials wanted them to see and they heard
nothing the soviet officials did not want them to hear.
The Americans returned with inspiring accounts OF Rus
sian progress. Nothing else could have been expected.
Now another tour is being arranged for American man.
u~facturers and bankers. AS before. the visitors will be
taken In charge by . soviet agent as soon as they cross
the international border into Russia and will remain un-
der the watchful eye Of the government until they again
cross the border. They will see and hear about the sue
cesses Of communism, but the failures will be q closed
book to them. And the Russian political experiment has
been most unsuccessful In its efforts to conceal its colos-
sal failures.
It Il no secret that Russia is trying to interest Ameri.
can capital and industry 1t this time because she needs
machinery and money for her projected ve-year agri-
cultural development program. So she will prove" to the
United States that Russia Is q good risk for the extension
Of credit or the advancement Of a loan.
Were the soviet government to acknowledge the ma
tion's war debts. thus restoring diplomatic relations be-
tween that country and the United States, all this nego-
tiating and pretense would be unnecessary. Reputation

BABIES
(Rv Alice 1mdsnn pealcl

Not long ago l visited a group Of
nursery school children who were
playing on the school roof. All
about me l beheld three and four
year olds, freely doing the kind Of
thing that would make many .
mothers hair stand on end.
The children were climbing a slide
and coming down, head first, feet
first, on their backs and on their
stomachs.
Some of them had placed q plank
across two saw horses of an uneven
height and were walking the tilted
plank with ease and poise and an
obvious sense Of prowcss.
! Two others were standing in the
swing pumping so violently and
making it 90 so high that l made
an involuntary movement in their
direction. Still others were climb
ing ladders to perilous heights and
looming quite safely down again.
There they were, mere babies,
swinging, balancing, climbing. The
teachers who stood about incon-
spicuously never once said, Look
out" BE careful, you'll fall!"
/; There was no note Of warning any
where and there was no mishap. The
children simply were quite COM
potent to handle themselves and
their play materials without getting
hurt, and without hurting each other.
The teacher explained: "When Z
child approaches a new piece Of ap-
paratus one of US stands near to
prevent his falling, and to check him
before he gets into a situation from
which he cannot extricate himself
without help. Until he has learned
"a certain degree Of skill we watch
him carefully but we never subject
him to intimidating warnings. We
let him bump himself if we know
he can't get seriously hurt"
When your baby at home makes
passes at athletic feats, it will help
to remember the wisdom Of the
nursery school teacher.

100 A DAY

Another indication Of the tremendous extent to which
the aviation industry Is expected to develop IN the near
future can be seen in action taken at the recent con-
yention Of the airport section Of the Aeronautical
Chamber Of.
This organization recommended that all cities Of 100000
persons or more must build their airports 50 rs to be able
to handle ! traffic OF ct least 100 planes q day. In ad-
cition. It was estimated that 1t least $Soo0oo0o0 will be
spent on airports in the United States this year.
Figures such Is these show how aviation Is progressing.
At present only Chicago reaches the loo-planes-per-day
figure. II the small cities are to attain this level soon-
and the industry's leaders believe they wil-the business
Of aviation win have to expand to many times is present
size.

Professor Stewards predictions are based upon an in

indicated chiefly by the catalogue of officers and students

opinion that various forms Of Ann and Emily. and the

The popularity Of given names. he explains. may be

BANANAS

The banana occupies q position in
the diet Of tropical countries similar
to that coupled by potatoes. sweet
potatoes and other highly starchy
foods In the cooler climates. AZ to
the quantity Of food produced BY the
banana plant, It cannot be rivaled In
the vegetable kingdom. Although very
prolific, It requires but little care II
It has Z moist, warm climate, and an
t1gonistic plants are kept down.
An acre Of bananas will yield from
two to twelve times Is much carbo-
hydrates as could be obtained from q
similar sized field Of cereals.
The banana tree Is highly orna-
mental, with palm-like leaves, and Is
often used In landscape gardening In
southern California and Florida. Some
Of the homes Of the motion picture
stars In Hollywood look almost like
tropical gardens because Of the
abundance of banana plants and palm
trees, but the climate, while suitable
for growing the plant, only permits
the fruit to ripen In exceptional In
stances.
Bananas do not grow with the
points hanging downward. as they
hang in the store. Upon the banana
plant the points grow upward.
Bananas are sold throughout most
Of the market In North America, but
they must be picked in the tropics and
shipped while still in a green condi-
ton. Most Of the bananas are i'm
ported from Central America, ia
maica, Columbia and Cuba. After be-
ing stored for q time, the skin be-
comes yellow, with dark spots, and
the starch becomes converted into
sugar, principally cane sugar and dex-
trim. It Is q popular fruit because Of
its pleasant flavor.
The banana is undoubtedly more
wholesome in the tropics, where it at
tains the full ripeness upon the tree,
but 1t can, nevertheless become quite
wholesome II subjected to heat, as in
baking or cooking. Those with a non
catarrhal tendency may also eat OF
the banana in its fresh state after 1t
has become fully ripened, but not
mushy.
The banana contains about 20 per
cent Of the carbohydrates, mostly In
the form Of starch, proteins liz per
cent, and mineral matter a little less
than ! per cent, in which potassium,
sodium and chlorine are most abund-
ant.
The banana is deficient in lime and
iron, and should, therefore, be eaten
with green leaf vegetables. It should
be combined Is any other starchy
food.
Bananas r. very rich in carbohy-
drates, and for this reason too large
q quantity should not be eaten at one
time. It Is estimated that one banana
equals two slices of bread in Galleries.

The ANVl.UKY MOVE
But no news of women's doings so
gives us pause for thought as the item
concerning Mrs. Charles Sabin and
her women banded together for the
sake Of combating prohibition which
they call "our bit Of national hypo-
crisy."
Even today the mass Of people
take it for granted that all women
are by virtue of the very fact that
they are women. just naturally teeto-
talers and decidedly in favor of pro-
hibition.
The last election proved that this
idea was wrong. While not as many
women voted for Smith because he
vas wet as did men. still their num-
Der rolled into thousands.
It will take us time to learn that
an intelligent and cultured woman
may bring her mind rather than
traditional emotions to bear upon this
subject Of prohibition, and decide that
: she cannot favor it and keep faith

Answer-There are always decided
changes after using the orange juice

disappear altogether, " they become
temporarily worse. When the latter
occurs it is an indication that there
are certain definite conditions in the
system which require treatment.
Usually these cause are kinks or pro.

Goitre
Qucstion-Mrs. j. H. writes: u
have been following a fasting anc
dieting regime to overcome my goitre
I have lost considerable weight, and
during the fasting period the goitre
became much smaller, but since I
have started to eat it GEMS to be get
ting larger again. I an worried about
my loss in weight, and hesitate to fast
again on account Of that. What is
your advice?"
Answer-You should not worry
about losing weight as long as you are
trying to overcome your trouble with
goitre, and it will perhaps be neces.
sary for you to take another short
fast. Be III to adhere strictly to the
diet between the fasting periods. The
goitre going down at first was due tc
the fasting regime. Its subsequent
enlargement might have been caused
by some dietetic ipdiscretion, uterine
trouble OF strain of the neck.
