Weird Ideas on Nations Trend

One of the peculiar things about modern America is
that SO many intelligent and thoughtful people do not
in the least seem able to understand it.
Pick up any magazine that is devoted to something
higher than stereotyped fiction and cut from-a pattern
success stories. and you find that the prevailing note, in
any article that tries to assay the current era, Is one Of
dark forehoding or downright despair.
That is not entirely surprising. There are tendencies
IN modern American life that are ominous enough. in
all truth. But in many cases the gloomy prophets seem
to have a complete misconception of our entire industrial
civilization.
A writer in q recent issue of the New Republic, for
example, remarks that we owe to Henry Ford the dis
covery that our national welfare depends upon attain
Ing the maximum rate of destruction Of our national
resources" Then, after asserting that Ford's theory
calls on us to waste things we possess as fast as possible
he comes to the question of world peace and makes this
amazing statment:
For long we have worried about war, driven by a pre-.
industrial feeling that war is the enemy of mankind
But by the theory of the economic value of waste we find
that war Is the basis Of culture. War is our great eco.
nomic safety valve. For If waste lets up, If people simply
won't throw out things fast enough to create new needs
In keeping with the increased output under improved
methods Of manufacture. we always have recourse to
thu stu more thoroughgoing waste Of war. An intelli

I yawn all day although I get plenty
of rest. Would this condition be from
weakness?"
/ Answer: Yawning is caused from
oxygen starvation. If you will take
deep breathing exercises each morn
ing and, at first, occasionally through
the day, you will supply your lungs
with enough oxygen with which to
satisfy the bodily needs.
Pus In the Blood
Question: r. M. asks: us it possible

Answer: It Is possible for pus to

material along with the dead white
cells. Pus in the blood cannot usually

Question: Mrs. H. L. asks: what

Answer: After changing from
breast nursing, the baby should be
given nothing but Holstein milk and
orange juice up to about two years Of
age, after which he should take a lit

Gas or Novocaine.
Question: K. G. asks: Which is

Answer: Whether a local or general

depends entirely upon the condition of
your health, the teeth to be extracted,
and many other factors which your
dentist alone can decide.

A Dictatorship Of Stability

Germany will be ruled by a dictatorship the next 90
days, but it is not the type Of dictatorship in vogue in
other European countries. This type OF dictatorship Is
provided for in the constitution of the German republic.
1t will not be greatly different, in fact, from President
Hoover administering the government of the United
States between sessions of congress, for the reason that
it is stipulated in the German constitution.
The dictatorship grows out OF the refusal Of the reich
stag to stand by Chancellor Bruenings decree establish
ing the finance minstrys new tax program. The chan
cellor lost, 236 to 22l. In parliamentary government such
a defeat usually is the signal for the ministry to step out
and for the country to 60 to the polls and test the matter
out by the ballot. The chancellor, with the assent of the
aged President Won Hindenburg, has dismissed the reich
stag and an election for a new one will be held Septem-
Der IA.
That is as near as the situation approaches the loss Of
q vote of confidence in ordinary European procedure.
The attitude of the ~rechstag takes on a sinister aspect,
however, with Germany obligated internationally by its
PREPARATIONS engagements. The situation thereupon is
interpreted as a menace to the existence of the new re-
public and that status Is pronounced on 1t by president
and chancellor, as the German constitution provides.
In view of the dependabiity of the aged field marshal,
the dictatorship would seem about the safest step that
could be taken toward maintaining stability. There will
be no such high-handed %pomposity as Mussolini inflicts
on Italy. no such ruthlessness as the communist COM
mittee headed by Joseph Stain subjects soviet Russia to,
no such military autocracy as that by which the late
Primo De Reviera controlled Spain for several years.
Germany thus repeats the experience of France after
the Franco Prussian war. For years that republic was
subject to alarms and political f~lip-flops that came near
restoring the empire of the Bonapartes or the kingdom
Of the Orleanists and Bourbons. It will be recalled that
France also was ruled by a field marshal in those days of
the mid-70s-McMahon. The French republic survived
all those crises and the swashbucklerism of the Boulanger
days, of the sos also The danger to France was far
more menacing than the present crisis is to Germany,

TO take office and restore serenity to the troubled reich.

Another Milestone


old-time residents who return to Bismarck invariably
comment on the changed appearance of the citys busi-
ness district and the improvements made in 1t.
To many citizens who have lived here continuously,
these changes have come gradually and have been SO
much taken for granted that the wonder OF the old-tim-
ers is necessary to bring to their Afternoon the manner
in which the city has improved.
Another signpost of Bismarck,s new business suprem-
acy is the new building to house the j. c. Penney com
pany store which will be opened tomorrow. 1t is both a
tribute to the city, to a great commercial organization
which has faith in the future of Bismarck and TO w. Il.
Webb. one of Bisnlarcl,is commercial pioneers whose faith
in his home town has been mistaken through the years
and whose efforts in its behalf are and have been con-
spicuous. II was Mr.. Webb who built and owns the build
ing.
Bismarck welcomes new commercial enterprises and
new industries. It is a promise for the citys future that
it attracts new and worthwhile business blood, new en-
terprise, new capital.
But those ld-timers who have served their city
through the years must needs be placed in the first rank
and typical of these is Mr.. Webb. He is typical OF the
men to whom the Bismarck of today owes its superiority
over the Bismarck of yesterday and who will help the
Bismarck of tomorrow to outshine the Bismarck of to-
day. His construction of the new Penney building is
another in a long succession of achievements, all OF which
have been reflected in Bismarck'S commercial advance
ment.

sion of the Penney companys opening of the new build

TUDY was there q quarter OF an

way, she dressed for it. She put

She was wrought up to such q
pitch OF excitement that when she
was shown into Gideon's great
salon she did not recognize 1t as
perhaps the most beautiful room In
New York.
It did the millionaire credit that
he showed not the slightest sur
prise at her appearance. He asked
her to sit down. and she did so

An AHplane Turkey

What do you kids think you're going to do with all those Christ mas ads the airplane has been showering over the town every afternoon?" Randy Roberts de- manded of his small brother and sister at the table few evenings before Christmas.
 That's what I'd like to know" Eleanor, ninteen, chimed in as she folded her napkin.
 The twins, Beth and Bob, aged but seven, looked at each other over their plates and then turned towards their mother.
 Beth and Bob are quite justi- fled" Mrs. Roberts assured her two older children. Those ad- yertisements are unusually attrac- tive with their weaths, bells, poin- settias and their red, gold and green lettering. The twins are making Christmas cards out of them with the aid of paste, card board and verse now and then clipped from some magazine. It is their own idea and that is what every one is striving for nowadays, you know, unique and original Christmas cards.' Mrs. Roberts brown eyes twinkled.
 I'd say they're original all right" Randy grinned. But go to it, kiddies. At least you're saving expenses, and that's what we're trying to do." He turned to his father at the head of the table;
 How about the doctors bill, Dad? Is it reducing enough so that we can manage turkey for Christ mas dinner, or shall we regale our selves on something simpler for the big dayA"
 MT. Roberts smiled wearily: T don't know, my son, you know that incision isn't healing as it should and I've only worked two days this week. Even with your help and Eleanor's the bills just about stand still"
 That's all right Dad. I was just asking. Mothers cooking makes everything taste good" He stopped on the way out to look at the sheap of ads piled on various chairs. Sud- denly he picked on up and scruti- nized it.
 See here, folks. Listen what it says on the Smith Market an- nouncement-'Some of these adver- tisements are marked. The one turning in the greatest number of marked ads will receive 12-pound turkey at our market the morning of Christmas eve Babies, the tur- keys yours There can't anybody beat a collection like this"
 And nobody did.
