Editorial Comment
THE SOURCE OF NORTHWEST WEALTH
fSt. par,l Disnatch,

tt. Paul Dispatch)
Preliminary figures on the biennial census of manufac-
lures for 1927, taken by the United States census bureau,
show that while manufacturing is steadily increasing in
importance In the Northwest, agriculture remains far and
away the primary source of real income in this territory.
The value of products manufactured in Minnesota.
North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana in 1927 was
81, AGO. 00O 900. This represented a reduction of Is mil
lion dollars as compared with 1925, but account must be
taken Of changing price levels. In 1925 prices were 1872
per cent Of pre-war standards and in 1927 they had fallen
to l4s per cent Of pre-war. The 1927 manufacturing out
put was. therefore, actually greater than in 1925 and also
the largest on record.
But far more significant are figures to show the
amount 1t Is necessary to deduct from gross value such
factors as raw materials, fuel. power and supplies. On
this basis the value added by manufacturing in the four
states In 1927 was 424 million dollars against 4l9 millions
In 1925 and 4l2 millions in 1919. It is obvious that the
increase would be even greater If an adjustment were
made accounting for the decrease in prices.
The value Of all farm crops produced in the four states
in 1927 was $l.l54,97l 900, but this figure excludes dairy
products, poultry and livestock. In Minnesota alone that
year, the value Of these omitted items was $347. 827,0oO.
Computations for the other states are not available, but a
conservative estimate Of the gross value of farm crops for
the Northwest for 1927 would approach two billion dol
lars. Deductions for grain fed to livestock and other
factors would reduce this somewhat, but 1t is apparent
that the soil is the primary source of the Northwests
wealth.

THE GANGsTER's MENTALITY
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune)

AAANAA1SI
Nearly everyone seems pleased with the statement
OF William J. Hickson, director of the psychopathic lab
oratory Of the Chicago municipal court, that the ~gangster
has q mental age of Is years. There has been a great
deal OF mass cheering over his correlated remark that the
intelligence rating of the gangster is a little above that of
the holdup man, and q little below that of the pick
pocket. The tougher MI. Hickson gets with the ~gangster,
the higher that learned gentleman is certain to rise in
popular esteem. Most Of us enjoy his psychopathic
tweaking Of the %gangsters nose because most of us cor
daily dislike the ~gangster, and have experienced the de-
sire, at one time or another, to do a little cautious tweak-
ing on our own account. Still If MI. Hickson wishes the
applause to continue. he will do we'll not to extend the
sphere Of his research past the gunman and racketeer. If
the temptation exists to determine the average mental
age OF any human society which tolerates the ~gangster,
which protects the ~gangster. and which pays tribute to
the gangster, We beg him to desist in the interest of his
own reputation. Just now we are enjoying q hearty
sheer at the low level of the ~gangsters mentality. We are
having q good laugh at the expense of the know nothing
Capones and their gangs. who can't think fast or as
clearly as their ~pickpocket cousins. W. can't be bothered,
Just at this moment. with determining the ]. q. of a COM
munity which yields, with a by-your-leave servility, to
the murderous, rapacious, cruel l3-year-old mind of the
average gangster. Mr.. Hickson might apply his cerebral
cahpers to the members Of that community, and with
illuminating results. but if he is the considerate gentle
man we think he is, he won't do that. The ~gangster,
goodness knows. has left US little enough. without de-
spelling us. In the psychopathic research Laboratories, of
the pleasant. satisfying illusion Of mental superiority.

MAGMA CHARTA

The Magma Char1a, or the Great
Charter, the name of the famous
charter of liberties granted by King
John to the English people, was signed
TIA years ago today, June 20. 1915.
The causes which led to the grant,
briefly, are to be found in the con-
dltions of the times, the increasing
lnsularity of the English barons, the
substitution of an unpopular for a
popular king and the unprecedented
demands Tor money, coupled with de-
fects OF the English army abroad.
Smarting under King Johns enor-
nous demands for money, the north
ern English barons renounced their
allegiance to the king and marched
toward London.
After several futile attempts to de-
lay the crisis the king, promising to
assent to the barons' demands, agreed
10 meet them in a meadow between
Stalnes and Windsor, called Runni-
mede.
The malcontents presented their
demands in a document of 48 articles.
The articles were converted into a
charter and signed by King John,
providing for various civil and relig-
lous liberties and aimed to eliminate
the kings cheating and oppression of
the English people.
Although the later years, its i'm
portance was enormously magnified,
the charter differed only in degree,
not in kind, from other charters
granted by the Norman and early
P~lantagenet kings.

ENJOYING YOUR MOUNTAIN
VACATION

Many people believe that the noun
tains are better for respiratory and
catarrhal disorders than the seashore.
although there is really not much diff
ference, provided a good dietary and
resting regime is used. The noun
tains do. however, appear to be more
restful, especially in cases Of nervous
ness.
Before taking a vacation it Is q
good plan to have an examination
of the heart to see whether it will
stand for hard climbing or SWIM
ming. If there is any heart trouble.
one should be very careful not to
e r-strain. It is a good plan to Sc
lect trails that are comparatively
level. When sleeper trails are fol-
lowed, n should rest every few,rnin-
utes.
The greatest benefit from the
mountain vacation is from the fresh
air, hiking, and the rest obtainable.
Long hikes into the woods should be
taken and 1t is a good plan for q
nervous person to try to get away
from his companion and be by him
self as much as possible.
Dietetic indiscretions should be
avoided if you are to return to your
regular work with a new lease on life.
Do not suffer from the delusion that
you will be helping your body by
stuffing with food. Your body is
not a storehouse which can be stocked
with provisions to last over the win
ter months. If you eat too much at
this time you will be months in re-
covering from the poisons you have
generated in your system through this
foolish stuffing.
In selecting a mountain camp, the
greatest difficulty will be in obtain
ing fresh vegetables and fruits. Most
mountain camps have a dietary too
rich in starchy foods. Summer is the
season when one should eat plenti-
fully of the fresh fruits and green
vegetables. and while exercising one
should drink a plentiful supply of
plain water, neither too hot nor too
cold and thus give your eliminative
functions a chance to flush out excess
sive impurities and wastes.
Seek healthful simple amusements,
and you will be much more rested by
keeping away from the crowds and
avoiding tempting CONNECTIONS at the
candy counters. Should time lie heav-
lily upon you between your exercising
periods. read a few stories of love or
adventure, but nothing too philosoph-
ical. Short rest periods with an oc-
casional nap to refresh you and make
you all the more eager to get back to
some healthful exercise. Don't allow

HOT WEATHER DISCIPLINE
INV Alice LudSnn Pealel

When the day has been hot and
exhausting, when you are tired and
irritable. comes the temptation to
throw all your liberal ideas of child
training to the winds and indulge in
q little old fashioned discipline
Your child is as fat;gued and new
GUS as you are. Never does he so try
your patience. He fuses and whines
over his food. He howls over a bump.
He refuses to take MS nap. He has
q tantrum about nothing in partic-
ular.
You endure 1t as long as you can.
Then all at once you scold and punish
with a ems of righteous anger in
your bosom that would have done
credit to the educational notions Of
your grandmother.
1t happens to the best of us, some
times, but it is hard on the youngster.
He, OF course, docs not understand
this breakdown In your morale. He
does not know what to make of your
tantrum. He is confused, but not
disciplined. It helps little to resolve
not to let your nervous exhaustion
get the better of you. If you are tired
enough, you r bound to take it out
on somebody.
What car you do? The answer is
be lazy. Tell yourself cheerfully that
it is part of your duty as a good
mother to be lazy in hot weather.
Ease up on your housekeeping. Serve
simple meals. Dress the children in
the fewest, briefest garments. Ar
range some place where they can play
without offending your ears with
their racket. Serve them an early
supper, SO that you can eat your own
evening meal in the quiet of adult So
ciety.
Most of all, don't take the children's
naughtiness too seriously. Develop q
convenient blindness to small infrac-
tons of law and order. Wait until
everybody is cool end comfortable
again before you announce any new
rules OF issue any uitimatum.

ONE.THIRD HAD POOR BRAKES

In 1924 a national conference on street and highway
safety appealed to the automobile manufacturers to make
their products still more accident proof and to the
garages Of the country to do what they could In the way
Of safe maintenance of motor vehicles. These recon-
mendations were inspired by the knowledge that many
traffic accidents are due to faulty construction of cars
and to defects which proper maintenance would correct.
Acting In line with the findings and suggestions of the
conference, Secretary Of Commerce Lamont has Just ap-
pointed . maintenance Of motor vehicles committee to
study the mechanical condition OF motor vehicles and to
suggest ways Of improving that condition.
This national study needs no other Justification than
the fact that in the halt dozen states In which systematic
motor vehicle inspections were conducted last year
100000 vehicles had defective brakes, 23o,547 had i'm
proper lights. T.643 had defective steering gears and
100000 were below legal requirements In other respects.
These figures assume alarming proportions when it is
remembered that only 5,o57,4so motor vehicles were in
spected.
The knowledge that mechanical defects are the cause
OF Or . contributing factor in . large number OF motor
accidents suggests . practical method of attack on the
traffic-accident problem. Secretary Lamonts commit
tee d~oubtlessy will recommend periodic inspections Of all
motor vehicles by state agencies In the interest of high
way safety. It Is the next logical step in traffic regula-
tons.
Poor brakes. faulty steering apparatus and bad lights
are prima facie evidence Of operating incompetency. De-
fective cars are operated only by defective drivers.

RED CROSS

you'll find tales OF adventure In unexpected places.
sometimes. Tales Of sacrifice. bravery and achievement.
with lives saved and hope given to the hopeless-and
right where you'd be least likely to look for them.
The Red Cross Courier. official magazine Of the Amer
lean Red Cross. would hardly seem a periodical in which
to look for thrillers. But it has them. just the same;
tfrillers that leave you with an added respect for your
fellow mems ability to take hard knocks and do tough
Jobs.
In the magazines June issue there is a story how the
Red Cross went into action this spring when a tornado
hit the little Arkansas town OF Guion.
Guion was almost wiped out. Eighty buildings were
utterly smashed. Many people we're killed or injured;
the survivors huddled helpless in caves in a hillside, and
saw the tornado. in its last, freakish rage. suck the
White river into the air and pour it on the ~vreckase Of
the village
The1 the magazine goes on with the story:
When the Red Cross workers arrived the next morn
ing, old residents shook their heads despairingly. 0uion
was lost, they said. But the workers cheerfully plunged
into the job that was admittedly of bleak prospect. The
health situation was pressing. The water supply was
wrecked. and tricklets OF sewage crisis crossed the town.
Miss Birdie Weems, Red Cross nurse from Little
Rock. was assigned the duty Of typhoid inoculations. A
long line Of serious-faced men and mothers with babies
in their erms, waited outside her boxcar headquarters
where she was obliged to eat and sleep for two weeks.
Good water was difficult to obtain. so the Red Cross pur-
chased a 3~00-galon open-topped tank which was placed
under a pure spring in a silica mine above the COM
munity. Lines of pipe now run down from it to MIGRANTS
at various points.
Shelter. however. remained q serious question. Ma
tional guard tents dotted the hillside; but the ground was
cold, and the river breeze still beat upon the victims. AS
