STYLES N BUSINESS

Railroads and baggage transfer companies are trans
porting fewer trunks than a few years back. and for
this misfortune they place the blame upon the women, or,
more particularly. fashions for women.
Circunstantial evidence returns q verdict of guilty.
Modern woman wears fewer and less bulky clothes. with
the result that the wardrobe they now carry in a week
end bag and hat bag is as complete, if not more so, than
that formerly carried in two wardrobe trunks.
This is stated as q fact, not as an accusation. and, to
whatever extent It is true. 1t does illustrate the close re-
lations that exist between fashions and more forms Of
business than would come to mind at first thought.
Have not the manufacturers Of cloth long Joined with
the ~uplifters in complaining bitterly about the few yards
Of cloth used In making . dress for the modern woman?
On the side of the women, however, are the makers Of
costly silk stockings.
More fortunate than clothmakers are the shoe manu-
facturers who have contrived to increase their prices as
rapidly Is the amount Of leather in them has been cut
down towards the vanishing point. And 1t Is reported
that the modern equivalent Of grandmotheris "unmen-
tionables" consumes less space than It's cost in paper
money.
Reversing the feminine process. masculinity seems to
have abandoned hand luggage for the full-size wardrobe
trunk. Once man wore his travelling. suit and packed
only q change Of linen and q night shirt. But that was
long ago. Today there is at least another suit, golf toys.
harmonizing linen and other apparel. That old saw Of
mans invention about woman and her voluminous bag
gage seems to have turned on its master.

Mos, college commencement addresses are dreary col
lections OF plat!tudes. AS a penalty for the sins OF their
youth, no doubt, graduating classes have to listen 70
dreadful speeches about the place OF an educated man in
democracy, civic responsibility. the threshold OF me-
and so on.
Once in a while. though. a speaker drops the piat1uoes
and speaks his mind.
Such a man was Prot. Robert E. Rogers OF the English
department OF Massachusetts Institute OF Technology.
Addressing the graduating class Of that institution the
other day, Prof. Rogers waxed sarcastic.
It pays. said Prof. Rogers, to be a snob and a buffer.
Here are a few Of the bits Of advice he handed the ardent
young graduates:
BE a snob. marry the boss daughter instead OF his
stenoerapher, dress. speak and act like a gentleman, and
youll be surprised at the amount OF murder you can get
away with.
You can go on the assumption that you are as good as
the rest Of folks. You should take the attitude that you
are a damned sight better. Belong to a club, even If you
can't afford it, demand good service, and, above all, be a
gentleman.
You must set before yourself 4 definite plan to be a
ruling person. Be superior. Act superior. Talk that way.
Think that way.
Il want to preach to you the gospel Of being . snob-
not allowing yourself to go to the level Of the crowd that
hasn't had the opportunities you have had
All of this, for commencement fodder, Is rather un-
usual. And. unfortunately. 1t Is undenlaole that Prol.
Rogers, in his bitter sarcasm. has mapped out q course
that will actually bring success-of a kind-to the young
man who follows it. Furthermore, there Is no doubt that
q great many young college men will do exactly what ne
has advised.
snohbkry and bluff do succeed in this world. There is
no use pretending that they don't. II you do not know,
personally. at least one man who owes his good position
to sham and pretense. you are a rare sort Of person.
It all depends on what your conception Of success is.
If money, position and ease really constitute success. then
the way Of the snob and the buffer is the best way, and
our whole social scheme is a miserable sham.
There are other standards. however. There are men
to whom money and luxury are not the most important
things in the world. There is. in all men who are not
clods. an inner urge that can never be satisfied except by
the doing OF the best work Of which one is capable.
If you are that kind of man. the victories OF the snob
and the buffer won't worry you. And If you aren't
well, it doesn't matter greatly what you do.

DIET AND INTELLIGENCE

The importance Of . chtld's diet Is emphasized strik-
insly in an article in the current issue Of Children. the
Parents Magazine. by Dr.. John Monroe. professor Of edu-
cational psychology ct Long Island university.
After Is years Of research. DR.. Monroe found a direct
correction between . ehilds intelligence and the food It
eats. While food. Of course, was not the only factor. he
ras able to make this definite statement:
where food was wholesome. intelligence had thrved,
and where. as . result Of poverty or slovenliness, food was
inAd nuate ana carslessly prepared. intelligence had de-
onnea."
1ssA child. whe: you stop 70 think about It, Is pretty
much 1t the mercy o. IT. pssents. The least the parents
can do u give It . chance . make the most Of It's inborn
Intellectual capacities by seeing 70 It that is Diet Is up
70 standard In every respect.

Today those devoid Of dignity guard against acquiring

veys an impression the opposite Of that desired by the

Dignity, being part and parcel OF aris.ocracy. is neces-
sarily inlrnical TO democracy. So those who try SO hard
to be democratic could not tolerate dignity and be con-
sis.ent.s
However. in defense Of dignity it must be conceded the
dignity Madame d'Arblay hated because It's the dullest

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ToIticoli0

Question: b. D.: II wonder II you
have had any experience with chronic
torticolis Of long standing. Il 70. I
would greatly appreciate any sug.
gestions or diet or treatment"
Answer: The treatment I have
found most satisfactory for this con.
dition is the use Of . short orange
Juice fast at intervals Of about q
month apart. Hot applications to
the neck, or treatments with the deep
theraphy lamp or ~diatherapy are also
helpful. Osteopathic or chiroprac.
tic treatments along with the fasting
and dieting regime will also tend to
hasten q cure.
Asparagus and Orange Rind
Question: Canned asparagus does
not seem to agree with me, although
I can eat the fresh. Do you know
any reason why this should be? Also.
please tell me II there is any food
value to the white part Of the rind
Of oranges"
Answer: I see no reason why
canned asparagus should disagree
with you. It may be due to an
idiosyncrasy you have developed. The
white part Of the orange has no me-
dictnal value. but it Is Of assistance in
producing bulk for the bowels.
Stomach Trouble
Question: Miss M. D. writes: I'm
n Of your articles you state that
gastritis is caused from too much acid
in the stomach. I seem to have al
the symptoms you mention, and am
starting q milk diet. Is this right?"
Answer: OF course. it is iinpos-
sible for me to diagnose your s
through these columns Of this paper,
but whether or not you have gastritis,
or even stomach ulcers, the milk diet
seems to be beneficial in almost any
form Of stomach arrangements II you
continue 1t for some time You
should then follow certain diet in

you on receipt of a large self-ad.

There Is one way in which the United States could very
p~rofitably pay attention to the recently completed general
election III Great Britain.
Britain will have no lame duck" session OF Parliament.
In a very short time the men who have been voted in will
take their seats. The interim between the old and new
governments is SO short as to be almost unnoticeable.
Contrast that with our own custom Of having an cleo
ton in November, letting the outgoing congress sit all
winter. and installing the new president in March. The
contrast argues more powerfully than any comment we
could make.
II Senator Norris still has with him his old proposal for
a constitutional amendment to do away with all this de-
lay, he would do well to brush it off and get it ready to
resubnit. It is high time we adopted it.
This years mosquitoes are bigger and bitter.

WHEAT POOL MEM
BERSHIP INCREASES

Grand Forks, N. O.-Between
September fifteenth and October
fifteenth, Ats new contracts were
received by the North Dakota
Montana Wheat Pool, according to
a statement issued by E. E. Lycke.
organization manager of the wheat
pool organization.
In commenting on the number of
contracts received during this per-
lod, Mr.. Lycke said: cit is evident
that the recognition which the
wheat pool has received from the
Federal Farm Board in being the
only organization handling wheat
on pool basis in the northwest
which has secured finance from the
Farm Board, enabling the wheat
pool to advance the largest ad-
vance at the time of delivery, has
done much toward creating an add
ed interest which naturally results
in more memberships secured"
Mr.. Lycke recently completed an
extensive trip throughout the west
ern part of North Dakota and the
north and central parts of Mon
tana. Prospects for a large pool
are very good" said Mr.. Lycke,
land much of the wheat is still on
the farms and will be delivered
after farmers have completed most
of their fall blowing"

Colleges Study
Roads
By Dubois YoU!{G
President
HHPP Motor Car Corporation
AA/HEN it is remembered that the
w United States has become large

X
ly dependent economically upon
highway transport, and that we have
more than 100000 motor cars and
trucks operating on about half-mil-
lion miles of improved roads, it is
natural that road building should be
made an object of scientific study by
the schools and colleges of the coun-
try.
Investigations at Iowa State Col
lege on side skidding of pneumatic
tires on various road surface condi-
tons show that on roads coated with
snow or ice or with oily slime or mud,
the force required to cause sllidding
IS approximately one-fourth of that
on clean, dry surfaces, while on icy
roads that are thawing a little, the
coeficient may be as low as one-sixth
of that on a clean, dry surface.
Studies on tires conducted at Wash
ington State College show that tire
wear increases with the speed of the
vehicle and with increase in tempera-
ture and that rear tires wear on an
average so per cent more rapidly than
front tires. These experiments in
dictate that under normal conditions
of vehicle loads and tire imitation. the
relative wear of tires on different
types of roads represents useful mile
ages of 24,000 on the best road sur
faces to as low as 1000 on the worst.
Studies conducted at the North
C.rolina State College on the power
r -uired to drive motor vehicles on
cent road surfaces showed that
fifteen miles an hour twice the
r3wer was needed to propel
,on wet and muddy surface
