another contribution of the automobile
industry to increasing the flow of
money which is so essential to the gen
eral prosperity of the Nation. Each
step in the development of the auto
mobile has extended it's benefits. In
this instance the millions collected
in taxes go to make more and better
roads, which in turn mean more and
, faster miles that keep an ever-widen-
ing circle intact.
Not only does this revenue help the
autOmObilist, but it is a boon to all
who use the highways, for good roads
reduce the cost of transportation by
saving time, tires, and gasoline. The
success of the gasoline tax, which now
has been adopted by every one of the
forty-eight states, serves as an in
teresting commentary on the question
of sales taxes. In the past there has
always been a very radical objection
to the sales tax, but the low cost of
collection and the percentage of re-
turn are encouraging the revenue
collectors to consider even higher
rates, and it is really this possibility
that has aroused some resistance.

1t is true, of course, that an en-

under him to save a certain portion

method, be started on the right road.
But, broadly speaking, any form of
compulsory thrift will arouse discon-

beginning the disease is not so dan
gerOus but it becomes a menace to
health through inattentiOn.
High blood pressure is one of the
causes for those common reports Of
death from stroke of apoplexy," de-
clares the educational committee of
the Minnesota State Medical associa-
ton, in a bulletin issued today. 1t
points out that people do not naturally
die of "a stroke" and says there are
always preceding causes which have
led to the death
I'm reality this condition is not so
much a disease of the heart as it is

High blood pressure may bring on
a hardened condition of the arteries,
which weakens them so that some
time small vessel in the brain may
give way and the person has what is
commonly called an apoplectic stroke.
IF the kidneys are not already dis
eased and are not the initial cause
of the high blood pressure, they may
become deranged and this may lead
eventually to a fatal outcome by
Bright's disease.
High blood pressure with normal
kidneys may be present for many

What is the cause of high blood

causes have been suggested. such as
excessive meat eating, coffee, tea, and
alcoholics, infected teeth and tonsils,
constipation, heart disease, and over
weight, but it is extremely doubtful
if any or all of these have anything to
do with high blood pressure. Heredity
does play role in the causation

He followed this by heaving the dis

NATIONAL ORIGINS
Duluth Herald)

In opposing the proposal to repeal
the national origins basis for immi-
grafton restriction, Senator Reed of
Pennsylvania, on Monday, April %,
charged that it is being supported by
"hyphenated Americans"
That is cheap fling, unworthy of
the senator from Pennsylvania. Pres
ident Hoover is against the national
origins plan, and so was Former
President Coolidge. Certainly neither
of these is "hyphenated American
Frankly, the aim of the national
origins idea is to keep immigration
as closely as possible to the original
American stock, which was over
whelmingly British But to do that
the plan cuts down on the German,
Scandinavian and Irish strains, and
these have all been of inestimable
value to this country.
The basis of the present plan is
solid and tangible. The basis of the
national origins plan is at best a
guess, and at its worst it is narrow
and misguided slap at some of the
best elements in the immigration that
has largely made this country.
The national origins plan, because
it has an unsound basis and because
it discriminates against the best type
of immigration, ought by all means
to be repealed and never brought up
again.

An Eleven Inning Feature.
The game Sunday on the Askov dia-
mond between that team and Brook
Park was undoubtedly the feature
game of the cOunty's play. Both
teams were in probably their best
fielding form and played excellent ball
throughout with neither seemingly
having much advantage until the
fourth frame when Brook Park scored
their first run and quickly followed
in the next with two more. AskOv
failed to score until the seventh,
when Jens and Carl Hyldahl both
scored after George CIegg batted to
the infield and beat out wild pitch
to first. This rally was short lived
and left the two teams standing 3 to 2
in the visitors favor until the ninth
when Hans Nielsen chased Carl Hyl-
dahl home with husky twO-bagger
which saved the day for Askov by
knOtting the score at three all. Then
after another blank inning, ASkOv
scored the winning tally in the
eleventh.

A LITTLE TALK on THRIFT
(By S. w. Strauss

Parents and teachers are today fully
agreed upon the Importance of teach
ing thrift in the school and at home
But regarding the proper method OF
intoxicating the desire to be thrifty
into the minds of children there is
still much to be learned. The first
thing to be remembered by parents
and teachers is that thrift cannot be
fostered by compulsion.
Thrift is fundamentally a matter of
mental attitude.
The saving of money, the elimina-
ton of idleness, the development of
efficiency are all matters which pri-
marily must depend for their success
on the state of mind of the individual
Before child can be impressed with
the value of saving money or anything
else, he must have an understanding
of all that thrift involves He must
have an appreciation of its benefits
also the sacrifices it sometimes in
wolves. He must be aware of all that

KEEPING FIT
Duluth News Tribune)


Athletic prowess is not wholly de-
pendent on youth.
Any man who resigns himself to
gradual physical degeneration after
he passes the age of 30 years, and who
accepts without protest or concern an
enlarging waistline and the prospect
of hardening arteries after he reach
es 40. simply refuses to, face the facts.
Many instances of veteran ball
players. tennis and golf experts, wrest-
lerS and other athletes defeating old
man Time as well as youthful COM
petitors, prove that it is possible for
man to keep himself fit almost in
definitely, or at least well into middle
age.
Keeping fit physically isn't ques-
ton of years. 1t is merely matter
of will power. Sane living, regular
habits, wholesome exercise, outdoor
recreation, proper food. will ward off
old age and early senility.
The man of 80 or 60 or even 20 can
have perfectly functicning body and
good health if he so wills it, But
he must start early and not permit
the process of breaking down to get
started.

WALK on THE LEFT SIDE

1t is no longer safe to walk on the
highway without regarding the car
traffic. With the large number of
cars passing along the average high
ways it is best to walk facing the
traffic, in other words. instead of the
old rule, keep to the right" one
should keep to the left, for in this
way, the pedestrian is facing the traf-
fic on his side of the road where other
wise he would have his back to it.
1t is very little effort for the person
walking to get off to the edge of the
road, while at the same time it is
difficult for the fast moving car tC
swerve enough to avoid hitting him
1t is also very difficult for one walk
ing, to hear many of the new cars Of
today, because of the improved quiet
running motors and if the pedestrian
will walk on the left side of the road
he will be safe from the cars coming
from behind and at the same time he
will be i'm a position to see and to ge,
out of the way of those approaching
him.

THE SAFE HORSE VEHICLE

This is the automobile age-the age
of fast travel In order that one driv-
ing a horse-drawn vehicle may be
safe, it is best that that vehicle be
made as conspicuous at night as is
possible. The best way to do this is
to carry a light or a mirror on the
rear and in front. In this way, the
car driver will be amply warned in
the darkness so he can have time to
slow down and share the road. Many
accidents have been caused by the car
driver failing to see the slower horse
drawn vehicle until too close to avoid
a crash.
