Germany's Great Prop Of Peace

AVSAA ~
Paul Won Hindenburg is contributing to Germany an
other of those idolized figures in the gallery of which are
Goethe and Bismarck and Won Moltke. The president, of
the reich in fact, is the grand old man Of his
country today, after five years service in the chief ex-
ecutiveship completed just the other day and at the
age Of "a.
In view of his beneficent administration of the a-
fairs of his country at a time when they are the vital
concern of the other powers as well. the world could ap-
propriately have joined in doing him honor on the an
niversary which has just passed. But he desired no at
~tentions of that kind at home or abroad. and the occasion
was let 90 by very simply and quietly.
Won t1indenburg has proved himself a sturdy con-
server of peace since he took over the reins Of the reich.
He administers as he fought and remains the samurai
Of the new Germany as he was of the old-a man with
conscientious regard for his obligations and his oath Of
authority. He has steered sternly and uncompromisingly
through the perils of the anti Young plan agitation. be-
cause that meant peace and stability for his country,
and he signed the reparations laws in the face of Ma
tionalist rage and threats which, had they prevailed,
would have meant a tremendous setback for Germany
among the nations with whom she has after-war rela-
tions of an obligatory nature.
= Won Hindenburg, in fact. has been a pleasing surprise.
He has dissipated all fear that he would prove reaction
airy and possibly intrigue for the restoration of the
monarchy and the Hohenzolerns. He took an oath to
support these latter when he went into the army and
ne kept LndC Odtn 1alCn1uuy ana WIFI kI1EuCIy O1EulCys
but now he is governed by another oath and that is
OF fealty. to the republic. He is just as meticulously true
to that as he was to his military code, in fact he is hold
ing to it as he held to the old Hindenburg line of war
days. And as he held the armies of the reich to the
trenches by his genius and inflexible will for three weary
years, SO he now holds Germans in line and true to the
republic by his exemplary wisdom, his conservativeness
and the old will serve with fidelity.
The Washington Star recalls that the late German
ambassador to Washington, Baron Ago Won Malzan. once
said that Won Hindenburg had made the republic
"geselschaftsfaehig" in Germany-which is Teutonic for
fashionable it adds that millions Of his country
men said to themselves that if the new order of things
was good enough for Hindenburg it was good enough for
them. They accepted it. They Joined with him in sus.
tanning it. They became his earnest coadjutors in de-
veloping it against a reactionary opposition which once
deluded itself into believing that the hero Of Tannen-
berg would be putty in its intriguing hands"

are low, 1t Is hard to recruit men of ability as well as in

hard to persuade cities-it may be inpracticable for cities
to raise wages to q scale that would attract able and
honest men. That police departments can now show
hundreds of intelligent. energetic and uncorrupted men
on their rosters is an accident. Some valuable men are
there because Of q distinct talent for their work, more
are there because physique Aand circumstances have
helped them to police jobs when other occupations were

A policeman's college might quicken professional pride
among police; might tend to increase police pay by max

MANS CLOTHING REFoRM

VANS CLOTHING REFORM
When looked at from the stand
point Of common sense, it would seem
that the clothing should be adapted
according to the weather. During the
warm weather only light clothes
should be worn. and during the cold
weather heavier garments could be
used for proper protection. It is quite
all right to be q slave to fashion If
the fashion is toward more comfort
able or more attractive garments, but
now 1t seems that the ordinary BUSH
ness mar who used to kid his wife
about being q fashion slave Is too
timtd ana conventional to change his
heavy wooden suit Of dark blue, brown
OF gray, for q lighter, more comfort
able garment, even during the hottest
days.
The tables have been turned. Wom-
en- have been quick to learn the ad-
vantages Of light clothing during

sist on their escorts wearing the con-

1t Is certainly foolish and ridicu-
lous to wear heavy wooden clothes
and collars In warm weather. Re-
Gently, q number of men have tried
to bring out arreform in mems dress,
and although everyone will agree that
the present costume is unsuitable for
a warm climate, those who have had
courage enough to appear in knee
length shorts or q light silk costume,
etc., are severely criticized by the av-
erage citizen.
Every doctor will agree that the
clothing should be light enough to
permit E free circulation Of air, and
1t should not construct the circulation
OF blood in any place. The movement
for mems clothing reform is fortu-
nately receiving valuable assistance
from important newspapers and
magazines. and in a few years we may
look forward to q more sensible cos
tune, but at present there is no great
rush toward adopting the new type Of
garments except among some Of the
younger generation or those who
don't mind public criticism.
When considering the suit Of today
piece by piece, it must be admitted
that tho coat Is, during the warm
weather, an entirely useless object
which prohibits free movement. The
first thing that any man does when
he is out for action is to take off his
coat and roll up his shirt sleeves.

The Cellulose Age
Baltimore SUM

>SSSSNASS S~S@
Tall silvery poplar trees may be grown soon on rocky
mountain farms in New York state to make raw material
for rayon hosiery and newspapers. They will not be
ordinary poplars, however close the resemblance, but per-
haps some Of the new hybrids developed by DR.. Ralph NC
Kee, professor c. chemical engineering at Columbia uni
versity. Working with tn, staff of the New York botani-
cal garden, Mr.. McKee, has produced more than 100
hybrids from the Ttwenty-one species Of poplar. From
these he has selected fourteen for their high yield of
good pulpwood.
The significant fact about the trees developed by DR..
in the course of his research on cellulose is that
in eight years these hybrid poplars will grow to the size
attained by ordinary poplars in forty-five years. Accord
ing to the Columbia professor, one acre Of cheap noun
tain land will produce a crop Of trees worth three times
as much as the same acreage of wheat or corn grown
In rich soil. He says that an acre Of seedlings planted
at q cost Of IS will yield in eight years q crop Of pulp
wood having q market value Of $500.
The tree-growing experiments of this chemical engi-
neer apparently have yielded results Of real Importance
not only to the rayon and paper industries but to all
farmers burdened with acres Of waste land. Chemists
admit, moreover, that the vast possibilities of cellulose
as q basic manufacturing material have not by any
means been fully recognized as yet.

Hoofs for Feet
(NeW York Wor1dl

\NOW Ivan VA
Dr. II. r., Bynum OF. Memphis, Tenn, addressing the
Eastern Osteopathic association at the Hotel Pennsyl-
vania the other day, said that unless properly constructed
shoes become popular this nation will presently have
hoofs instead Of feet. And q. very good thing for the
nation 1t will be. If you ask us. As things stand now, two
Of the biggest expenses that q, citizen has to bear are
the cost Of stockings and shoes. When we all have hoofs
instead Of feet, the first Of these. it may be assumed, will
be abolished You cannot design a stocking that can be
worn over q hoof. There is no use talking about IT:
the thing would be worn out before you had walked halt
q block. And the second would be greatly reduced. For
while you can weaEshoes with hoofs. and indeed must do
IT, Il the sole Is not split and the frog become sore on
the hard city pavements these are iron shoes, and should
cost less and wear longer than leather shoes.
Once let . citizen get his shoes nailed on in January.
and Il they are thick, properly fitted and we'll calked,
he Is fixed up for the year. OF course they may bother
him q little in summer, when he goes in swimming, as
he may show q tendency to sink by the feet, but on the
other hand they will save him the pain OF having his
feet bruised by pebbles. shells, broken bottles, etc, while
he Is wading out into deep water, SO that here things will
even up pretty nicely. All in all, we believe this day
should be eagerly awaited, rather than dreaded. And
another thing: we should no longer have any toe to be
stepped on In the subway.

The Vests Lost Battalion

With the passing Of Richard w. Clark, the "Deadwood
Dick" Of the gold mining and s~tagecoach days of the
Black Hills. about the only survivors Of this type of
western character are the synthetic limitations of Holly
wood.
"Deadwood Dick" himself, however, was a bit syn
thetic. He was Of the rugged, colorful type In which the
West of the 7os %abounded, q man somewhat Of the Buff
falo: Bill role. but not to be compared with Wild Bill
Hickok, who was the pistol notch artist Of the Hills in
these days. Dick was a ~stagecoach driver, a pony ex-
press rider, q miners busy and useful man who fur
nished the material out Of which that famous dime novel
hero of Ned Buntline was created to thrill the ~schoolboys
of the East. Buntline associated Dick and Calamity Jane
in his tales Of the gulches where men delved madly for
gold, gambled ~sleeplessly and rioted in pistol play. But
he was not as wild and woolly as that and his fame was
always associated with virtue.
The truth about the men of this type of the West is
that much Of the gold associated with their lives was in
their hearts. Their roughness and dissipation was Of
the frontier of peril and Of the Indian menace. It was
like the false front to the saloons and dance halls and
mining camp stores. No picture or tale Of the West
was genuine without that glamorous fiction of pistols
and bullets and bowie knives. And the picture was just
as exaggerated as "Ten Nights in a Barroom" was.
Buntline. Capt. Frederick Whitaker, Col. Prentiss
1ngraham and that other author, Eyster, who wrote for
the Beadle libraries, in nickel and dime editions, created

A Meaninpful Drive

"A 4xCQ11l14k4u O14VC =
It is not surprising that the State Health department,
seeking a major activity, should have taken up the plan
for a drive against d%iphtheria. This disease has a high
%nlorbidity in North Dakota. Annually the average deaths
from the ailment in this state are 80 to IS. There have
been extensive epidemics Of late, one last spring in the
vicinity of Jamestown requiring a lot of effort to over
come.
Diphtheria, virulent as it is, differs from cancer, an
other scourge. in being preventable as a result Of mod
erin pathological research. Physicians hold 1t virtually
100 per cent durable and also 100 per cent preventable
if the means provided by science to combat it are uti-
LIKED. These means are mainly the imnunizing serum
Psychologists have been able to devise. So strong is
the faith of practitioners in the in1munization process
that one western health officer has declared that "for
every death from d%iphtheria, someone ought to hang"
The %diphtheria prevention commission appointed by
the governor and organized last week therefore has an
important duty to perform for the state. If lives can be
appraised in dollar-and-cent values-and somebody has
calculated that they can and that a life is equivalent to
$4,000 to the state-then the work of this body has to
deal with a loss to North Dakota of at least $75o,000 an
nually.
New York state is credited with virtually stamping out
the diphtheretic ~contagion. In that case, North Dakota
can achieve as much for the cause Of good health. The
State Health department is counseling physicians to
immunize babies at birth, as New York did.
The welfare organizations of the state will naturally
be oenino the COMMISSION wnen IL DeglnS us !aooIS next
fall. It is unfortunate that the work has had to be post
poned for a more ~propitious period than the summer,
with its vacations and other disturbing elements of q
seasonal character.
When the drive does get started, the commission is
sure to have the best of cooperation from the State Health
department., for it has been one Of the dreams Of DR.. A.
A. Whittemore. state health officer, and DR.. J. D.. Jung
man, head of the preventable disease bureau, to rid North
Dakota Of this child scourge. Heretofore these officials
have had to be content to work with publicity alone. in
circulars and placards. as preventives, and to depend
on the. excellent cooperation Of the state laboratory In
dealing with actual outbreaks Of the disease.
