BISMARCK BA7TED
1000 AT M|NO7, SAY
LIONS GETTING BACK
In Stunt and Parade Local Den
Led; Miss Bismarck Was
Big Feature in Events

The American Legion bugle and
drum corps and some Of the members
Of tho Lions club got back from the
Minot district conference of Lions
last midnight. The drum corps came
by transportation bus.
Every returning participant Of the
Lion doings at Minot reported it a big
event for Bismarck. This city had the
biggest delegation in line, AZ members,
and it also made the most elaborate
display i'll uniforms and decorated
floats. In fact. 1t won first award or
the parade. as it did Wednesday
night IN stunts.
Bismarck almost was the conven-
ton, said buglc corps members. speak

piled. The Lions wore their purple
and gold hats, white duck coats and
trousers. and carried hobby canes.
The women with them wore purple
and gold turbans. Rosalind Brown, as
Miss Bismarck, rode with DR.. F. B.
and Mrs. Strauss in a decorated car
in the parade.
william Doty appeared in the pa

gaily decorated. David Shipley was on
horseback and rode like all old cav

vas one of the hits Of the Bismarck
activities. She won the hearts of the
Minot folks and the attending Lions
from the other cities in the three
states and provinces by her natural
bearing and charming ways, said re-
turning Bismarck participants. She
made a very attractive picture in the
parade and in the social events of
Wednesday evening.
The Slater girls from the Indian
school and the MacIntyre dancers
we're other hits Of the conference.
There was nothing as ambitious as
the Bismarck stunt staged, and it was
but natural that first award went to
this city on this feature. Bismarck put
on a real vaudeville show, in fact,
with its songs and dancing and Bill
Doty's tramp role introducing the sew
eral acts on the thread of a slender
plot.

N. u. Life Insurance
Averages Half That of
Figures for Whole US.

Life insurance agents in North Da-
kota still have plenty of room to cx-
pand their business before they reach
the average insurance per capita for
the entire country, according to a
study made by S. A. Olsncss, state
insurance commissioner.
With an estimated population of
$4,000, North Dakotans have $272.-
600, 900 Of life insurance, or $4l9 per
capita.

population at 10000. 900. Olsness ar.

ia for the nation.
The study was made in connection
with a report on insurance In Norway.
from which Olsness emigrated, which
shows that residents of that nation
have $144 OF life insurance per capita.
or about onc-third of the average for
North Dakota.

Since it is our aim to live in Bis

or. After due investigation We have
reached the conclusion that this

vast majority Of Bismarck citizens.
Not only will it operate to U OWL

LIQUOR Arbitration

The I'm Alone rum runner dispute between the
United States and Canada is to be submitted to arbi-
traton In the exchange of notes, published today
Canada has accepted the suggestion of the state de-
partment to arbitrate provided by the American
British liquor treaty.
That is A wise and lucky disposition Of danger
GUS case Since March %, when the United States
coast guard sank the Canadian schooner, 200 miles
from shore and drowned one of her crew. the
United States has appeared to have much the worst
of the argument Now that the official diplomatic
correspondence is published, governments case
seems to be even weaker than originally feared.
The dispute is many-sided including disagreement
both as to facts and as interpretations of the treaty
governing liquor search and seizure. There is thus
double reason for breaking of the argument and
leaving it to arbitration.
Canada asserts the rum runner about four
teen and one-half miles from the Louisiana coast
when challenged by the first cutter while the United
States argues that it was within ten and one-haH
miles Canada argues that even ten and one-halt
miles would not have brought the schooner within the
zone hour seaming distance from shore limit, within
which the treaty permits search and seizure.
But the more serious dispute concerns treaty in
depreciation Canada contends that in the treaty
giving the United States the right to search and seiz-
IRE beyond the international law three mile limit and
One-hOur Steamlng distance AlllO she uu AOV
grant us the added right pursue her ships from that
extended zone out upon the high seas. That is,
Canada insists that the international rule of hot pur-
suit" of culprt to the high seas. applies only pro-
yided the pursuit begins within the three mile limit
There is nothing in the treaty text supporting the
United States Interpretation that the treaty by infer
ence permits the beginning OF hot pursuit. from any
where within the one-hour steaming distance zone.
Canada also insists that apart from the treaty IN
depreciation dispute the sinking of the rum runner in
gale with Jeopardy to the lives of the entire crew and
actual drowning of one seaman was too severe pen
atty.
Canada's position in the case IS strengthened by
the exceptionally gracious and complete cooperation
she has given in the past in helping the United States
check rum running. which is admitted by the state
department.
Both in the interests of future prohibition en-
forcement and of friendly international relations the
United states stands to lose by any act or policy
which alienates Canada's cooperative attitude
If Canada is forced to accept an unreasonable IN
terpreaton of the liquor treaty in which she volun-
tsriiy granted us special and unusual privileges she
Justly can retaliate by refusing to renew the treaty
and BY reyokng all our special privileges against rum
runners.

New Inquiry Needed

Evidence presented in the hearing for a new trial
for Daisy Sullivan suggests that there should be
demand for new investigation by the pardon board
of her case
The girl but 18 years Of age is serving a sentence
of two to fourteen years for the forgery Of check
for $3.50 She spent only 20 cents Of this amount for
oranges The Greene county officials resent the sug-
gestion that she ate the oranges is certain that
they recovered all but 20 cents Of the money obtained
on the check.
The circumstances surrounding the ce5 are most
pitiable and pitiful The girl had been motheress for
seven years. She had little care She had had no
advantages She had been without the advice and
counsel Of any older woman.
In what is manifestly an endeavor to justify the
severity of the sentence, the machinery Of Greene
county has dragged forward charges Of moral deln-
uuency has insnuated more and has gone to unusual
lengths to backen The reputation Of the girl who has
little to hope from life.
The most expert scientist from the Indiana uni
versty reported to the court that the girl is the vic
tim of lack of mental training. The treatment of
this distinguished scientist by the officials Of Greene
county when he was a witness was unusual
The fate of one girl may be OF little Importance
But the attitude of society and Of the state toward
such cases is most important.
That the ignorant girl of the hills is serving exactly
the same sentence for passing trivial check which
was given to banker who got away with more than
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars from his de-
positors and friends does not add to general re-
spect for law and for courts.
The comparison between the case of Daisy Sui
Ivan the sx-doar-a-week diShwasher of tender age,
and Bolnger the bank cashier and associate of SEN
ators and congressman is too obvious to escape public
attention
Certainly the people of this state not ignore
the situation.
More certain is it that the humane and charitable
people of the state not afford to admit that there
is no other method of treating with ignorant and
under-priveged girls than to house them in peniten-
tiaries
Sending a girl of 10 to fson's cell for two
dollar-and- eighty cent crime demands inquiry and
study.

Superstition Has Cures for Badness

The experts in care of the hair
recommend that the scalp be kept
clean by washing as often as neceS-
sary with soap and water.
If the scalp is unusually dry it
should be creased lightly at least
once each week with vaseline or
with liquid petrOlatum.
The water will not rot the living
hair; water is the greatest cleans
ing agent known to man. The
water will remove the grease and
give the hair dry feeling.
The same effect is secured by
using tonics with too much alcohol.
In ancient Egypt the medicine men
cured badness by a grease that was
made from the fat Of six different
animals, the lion, hippopotamus,
crocodile, cat, snake and ibeX.
The idea was to get the strength
and sagacity of the animals at the
same time that grease was supplied.
In early American days bears
grease was used for the same pur-
pose.

the chest keep the chest regularly
exposed and men with heavy
growth of hair on the chest wear a
vest, coat, shirt, overcoat and vari-
Gus quantities Of underwear to pro-
tect the chest still further.
Another theory has it that hair
remains on those portions Of the
body that we're not reached by sun
light in that evolutionary stage
when men walked on all fours.
There seems to be plenty of evi-
dence that sunlight is both good
and bad for the hair. The evidence
seems to depend on the dosage used
and the head of the particular per-
son concerned.
The promoters of cures for bald
ness that involve use of the arti-
fetal suns ray, or ultraviolet rays,
say that this method will cure bald
ness and cause a new growth Of hair
even on scalps shiny as a billiard
ball.
Where, however. are the actual
cases to prove their claims? Ans
wer: Nowhere!

IRE the humidity and all that is necessary for the OBJ
do is note the position Of the pointer on the
scale.
The pointer of the hygrometer is connected by suit
able levers to a little TUT OF human hair.
The length of the hair increases slightly with an
increase in the dampness humidity OF the air. This
is then registered by the pointer If the air becomes
drer the hair contracts The pointer OF course, again
registers the change.
The method used by weather stations to determine
the relative humidity requires the use Of two Their
moueters. One is an ordinary thermometer and is
known the dry-bub thermometer.
The other thermometer has its bulb covered by a
little cloth wrapper which dips into small dish of
Evaporation will take place from the wrapping on
the wet-bulb thermometer, thus causing it to give
lower reading than the drybub thermometer.
The amount of evaporation, however, will depend
upon the dryness dampness of the air.
If the air is very dry evaporation will be high. If
the air is very damp there will be practically evap
grafton
The more evaporation takes place the lower the
reading will be.
It is possible therefore. to calculate the relative
humidity from the difference in the readings Of the
ory-bulb and wet-bub thermometers
In foggy weather. there will be no difference at all
between the two readings. This that evapo-
ras.on is taking place.
The relative humidity is then said to be 100 per
cent

Severity and Salvation

MO one will deny that there is
~ too much crime in America.
Whether there is actually a crime
wave at the present time needs the
confirmation of expert investigators.
And Hoover certainly did not
familiarize himself with the opinion
of qualified crininologists before he
made his address at the Associated
Press luncheon. 1t is not the SEN
timental layman who asks for a
more enlightened policy in dealing
with offenders.
Every warden who has been at
Sing Sing in the last twenty years
seems to feel thet there is no
salvation in mere severity.
after ALL" said President Hoover,
"the processes Of criminal law en-
forcement are simply methods of in
sitting respect and fear into the
minds of those who have not the
intelligence and moral instinct to
obey the law as a matter Of con-
science"
Surely the world has had a long
experience with the efforts to make
people good by inspiring them with
the terror of punishment. The
system has never worked well. 1t is
about time to try something else.
