NTY GUARDS TRAIL Indy AT TER REPORTED DEATH THREATS
POWER TRUST
EXPOSE Is
EXPECTED

An expose Of Power Trust efforts
to purchase newspapers and
clash over revision Of the Senate
rules today promised to furnish
political fireworks on Capitol Hill.
Senator George e. Norris tRJ OF
Nebraska, veteran leader of the
Insurgent bloc, announced he would
speak this afternoon on the activity
OF the International Paper and
Power Company in buying control
Of Eastern and Southern newspa-
pers.
The rules fight will revolve around
the traditional secrecy invoked
when the Senate considers presi-
Dental appointments and treaties.
1t was provoked by efforts OF
Democratic-Insurgent coalition to
force public consideration Of the
nomination Of former Senator Irvine
L. Lenroot (R) OF Wisconsin, az a
Judge on the u. 8. Court OF Customs
Appeals. Several attempts to 'open
the doors'' were defeated and Len
root confirmed.
Believed Ineligible
Some highly interesting charges
were made during the Lenroot bat
tie and the coalition Senators argued
1t was the public's right to know
why they opposed his confirmation.
Among others, It was charged Len
root had never practiced before the
Supreme Court Of Wisconsin, his
home State, and therefore was in-
eligible for admission to the bar Of
the q. 8. Supreme Court and q
post in the Federal judiciary. It
was charged incidentally that Chief
Justice william Howard Taft init.
ated a special rule by which Lenroot
actually was admitted to the highest
court, although its regular rules
would have kept him out.
When forced to keep the Lenroot
fight behind locked doors, Senator
Hugo Black D.) Of Alabama served
notice he would move to amend the
secrecy rule.
Wants New Rule
He proposed a new rule by which
all nominations would have to be
considered publicly in the future

secret session. He further pro-
posed a rule permitting q majority
vote Of the Senate to set aside any
existing rule. At present, two
thirds vote is required to abridge a
rule. The Insurgents announced
they would support Blacks pro-
posals.
The progress Of the Power Trust
in acquiring newspapers meanwhile
aroused Insurgent leaders, s
They already have demanded q
strengthening Of the postal laws,
which require newspapers to publish
ownership lists. In a recent In
quiry. the Senate was informed
that only three of the 13 news
papers, aided or owned by the
Power Trust, had mentioned that
fact in their ownership statements.
It also has been suggested that the
Power Trust papers should be
barred from the mails.

delegates to the recent American Fed

explained that because of demands
made in the way of education. dress,
travel, general cultural demands,
teachers must have a higher wage.
They asked for a minimum of $4,000
for any teacher.
They also asked that no restrictions
be put upon them in the way of short

pursuits.

ST. vlTUS DANCE

Tho medical word for this disorder
is "chorea,' which comes from the
Greek and means dancing. It is the
name given to disordered. incoordi-
mated, spasmodic and involuntary
movements. "Chorea Sancti VIII" was
the name given in the middle ages to
an epidemic of dancing mania which
attacked people under the influence
of great religious excitement and led
to pilgrimages to the chapel of st.
! Vitus in the hope of being cured.
This disorder occurs most often in
early childhood and adolescence, more
than three -fourths of the cases devel-
oping between the fifth and fifteenth
years. It is singular in that it occurs
more often among girls. and among
the offspring of the poorer classes. The
peak of the cases during the year &C.
ours in January. This is undoubtedly
due to the fact that many cases are
precipitated into a crisis through the
toxemia generated from holiday feast
ing.
The school child who has been made
nervous by overwork at school is a fit
| subject for chorea and, in fact, for
many other disorders when the toxins
from injudiciouS holiday stuffing add
their burden to the child's irritated
nervous system.
The disordered and jerky move
! ments are the first symptoms. The
| child may be restless. mentally dis
turbed. easily upset, and break into
fits of crying or temper. The jerky
movements are usually noticed first
| on the face and arms. The face will
twist into a series Of contorted
grimaces, in which the eyes may shut
and suddenly shoot open. The angle
Of the mouth may change quickly, or
| the whole head may flop from side to
side. There may be a specific and in
voluntary working of the hands and
arms. and if the patient tries to grasp
anything he is inclined to grab for it
and may close his hand before nc
reaches the object. AS the disorder
progresses the child's body may witch
in various places almost continually
during the entire day. Usually the
movements either disappear or de-
crease during sleep.
/ have never seen a case OF chorea
which could not be cured. and usually
in a very short time. The toxic con-
dition which is always present must
first be corrected. Here again the fast
is of great value and should be used
for several days even with very young
children. They should be kept away
from all studies and taught to play
games which are not overly exciting.
The best diet after the fast is usually
a course of milk diet treatment TAX
ing three or four weeks. After this
the diet should be we'll balanced,

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES
Great Falls Tribune)

(Creat Falls Tribune)
Much attention has been given In the last few years
to the wisdom of diversified agriculture. It has been
shown that the chances Of profits or prosperity are in
creased with the numhDr OF crops or farm resources that
are relied upon.
Diversification. however. is as desirable for an entire
region as for a single industry. A section that is pre-
dominantly agricultural, that depends almost wholly on
mining. on manufacturing or any other single activity,
is certain at one time or another to -uffcr serious depres-
sion. There are bad manufactu Z years. bad" farm
years. bad" years for mining. Bu. is only rarely that
conditions are bad in . large number OF fields Of activity
at the same time.
The value Of diversified activity on q large scale, for an
entire section. is shown strikinsly In the case Of the
South. It is easy to recall the day when the South was
country. commercially. asriculturally and In some other
respects. Fer a long period. up to only a decade or two
ago, its principal resource was q single crop, cotton. II
the bottom dropped out Of the cotton market the South
wss PROSTATE. 1t was limited in the resources upon which
it might rely.
Today the section presents a far different picture.
Some facts about u esfici,. At the time. were termed
and amazing were given out 4 few months
ago by DR.. Julius H. Klein Of the department Of COM
merCc.
Most persons probably think Of the South IS an agri-
opposed to the Industrial East Is ! common exnres-
SIGN. But the South Is no longer agricultural. Or. Klein
brought out that IN q recent year the value Of the re-
gion's manufactured products vas nine billion dollars.
It's mineral products increased the sum to nearly II
billion dollars. BIT the combined value Of the south's
farm products. including livestock and crops fed to live
stock. Was five billion dollars. Added to that IS the fact
that "out Of the southern ports. from Baltimore south
ward, nearly half OF the total tonnage Of this country
teven counting the Great Lakes trade) moved last year."
The value Of goods shipped from Galveston alone
amounted 70 more than the total Of shipments from the
entire Pacific coast. the totals being. respectively, 534
and $40 billion dollars"
Dr.. Klein traced a fundamental change ii the whole
attitude" q the region in recent years. The
heart AZ the matter is that the section has eorns to real

REPUTATION in fee. and figures has been given restless
minded persons who take no Interest in re.orestatioa on
the ground tina. trees grow too slowly. They think Il is
unreasonable TO expect people 10 plant today what no one
can reap for half q century.
Reports from Individuals who pu. out forest seedlings

years certain species become s.zabie trees. There arc
trees which. in favorable climates, VIII grow TWO feet

The beautiful blue sprlccs At the Northern Great

bring them to this stage OF maturity, looking backward,
does not seem as great as 1t dld at the time when they
were planted. The years, after all, speed quickly, and
there comes a time when a tree will seem not to have
been planted so far distant in time. Then 1t is that the
worth -vhilcness of planting trees is realized.
Seedlings or transplanted trees only a few inches high
usually grow slowly during the first year. But once they
take root" they shoot up rapidly. Much depends on the
care given them when planted, and on the nature Of the
soil and drainage. A forest once well started shows
marked growth within a few years.
But there are other satisfactions from rctorestation
besides seeing the Seeding arrive at its full stature and
enjoying its cool shade. Immature trees improve the
landscape and soil. purify the air and surface water
sources, and give the planter the feeling of leaving an
heritage to posterity.
This country cannot plant too many trees. The great
bare waste places, by all means, should be forestcd.
There is shade, erosion, preservation OF moisture and
wood supply to be considered, outside OF the influence
on climate and spring floods. AS someone said here re-
Gently, the Bad Lands form an ideal waste for foresta-
ton.
Eut if these great waste places can not be covered up
With a dress of natures making, there still remains tho
possibility Of planting trees around the home. The bare
surroundings of SO many ranch and farm houses fairly
CRY for relief from their hideous baroness. Anyone who
induces the Dakota farmer to adqrn his premises by
shade trees around the house is indeed a bcnetactor
whom future generations will bless.

Editorial Comment
SMOKING FOR WOMEN TEACHERS
(Ann Arbor Daily News

tAnn ArDOr Daily NCWSD
Woman teachers in California public schools will be
permitted to smoke cigarcttcs-in tho privacy Of their
homes.
vierling Kersey. state director Of education. has made
such a ruling and it Is causing a lot of discussion. But
it cannot be called unreasonable unless discrimination
between masculine and feminine teachers is accepted as
logical and fair.
II is not going too far to insist that the lives of public
school teachers shall be morally clean. but the smoking
Of cigarettes is not generally looked upon as an act Of
immortality. II It were immoral for women, it certainly
would be immoral for men. and there has been no ques-
ton in California concerning the right Of male teachers
to smoke.
Smoking in the classroom is, of course. out of the ques-
ton. The influence would be bad. for the reason that it
would encourage the children to contract the habit. and
nicotine is manifestly not good for boys and girls OF ten
der age. regardless of what its effects may be on adults.
But in tho privacy OF the teachers homc-regardlcss of
the teachers se~x-smoking Is a purely personal matter,
along with the eating OF sweets and the drinking of tea
or coffee, and in fact the whole question Of diet or that
of physical attire.
A teacher may be a public servant. but that docs not
mean that he or she shall be obliged to live in a glass
house. with every personal act under the scrutiny of a
censor. Teachers are human beings, entitled to a certain
amount Of private living. with individual preferences re-
garding the manner Of enjoying life. Smoking may not
be physically beneficial to a woman teacher. but so long
as it does not interfere with her educational activities it
is mostly a matter of her own business.

SOCIETY SUFFERS

The recent prosecution OF a former assistant United
States attorney on the charge of receiving stolen secur-
tiles having a value of more than 500. 900, knowing them
to have been stolen, and then negotiating for their re-
turn for the payment of a reward. illustrates the settled
policy OF the law to regard the wrong done to society by
the theft Of the property as the prime consideration,
and the injury to the individual in the loss Of his prop
erty as secondary.
For this reason a person who. knowing an article to
have been stolen, though himself wholly innocent of the
theft, receives the property from the thief and either
aids in the co~ncealment of the crime or undertakes to
negotiate for the return OF the property for a reward, is
himself guilty of an offense against the law.
But it is not a crime for the owner Of stolen goods or
one representing him to offer a reward for their return
and to receive them back from the thief and pay over
the reward, though no effort is made to dctain the GRIM
inal or to discover his identity.
So here is another instance where the individual and
society are in conflict. Usually the individual ignores
the rights and best interests of society when this conflict
arises. and society. being jealous of the rights of the in
dtvidual. usually is sympathetic to the extent of condon-
ing the technical wrong committed by the person who
conceals q crime to regain possession OF stolen property.
