David caught his breath.
You are right. 1t is better for me

that the last-hour decision to accept

made solely because the gold gown was

that required considerable histrionic
ability to put 1t over. Her former distrust
OF him returned, magnifled a hundred

Of Brides House into her thoughts she

The State Needs a Land Policy
(Minneapols Tribune

NN4AAA4O0ROA2O WI
Title to 272,0O0 acres of cut-over land in st. Louis
county Is about to revert to the state for delinquent
taxes. 1t Is being surrendered by he Weyerhauser in
terestS, which failed to secure favorable consideration
rom the board Of county commissioners for a plan to
~reforest and thus put it to work growing timber crops.
The companies interested offered to pay q decreased
tax while financing the cost OF reforestation. They ap-
parcEtt took the attitude that the taxes levied were
more han the land was worth, while advancing a plan
to increase its value and keep it on the tax rolls.
Their present position seems to be they prefer to sur
render title rather than go into the real estate business.
That IS what is happening.
The land Is in scattered units. It will now be placed
on sale for satisfaction Of the delinquent taxes. Some
valuable acreage Is included. Much of it is valuable
only for reforestation. If it Is ever utilized, or ever
again becomes a source Of tax revenue to the state, 1t
must first be reforested. The natural process is slow.
Experience is proving that scientific reforestation gets
the quickest and most satisfactory results.
What Is happening in st. Louis county Is happening
In large arec3 all over northern Minnesota. As the state
loses tax revenue. the tax burden OF private interests Is
increased. The resulting situation steadily presses for a
more satisfactory plan Of solution than is now in sight.
It would appear that Minnesota nears the time when
. Redistribution Of state lands with strict regard to
their utility will be simply good business on behalf Of
every interest paying taxes. A limited area Of these
lands may be farmed. Much Of them should be re-
forested. There l. now no definite policy. The need for
it is apparent. Idle, unproductive land is no more an
asset to the state than to the individual or the cor
poration.

New York Elections

Political interest is being focused upon the New York
elections. The Republican party has forsaken it's tradi-
tional dry policy and hopes to attract to its ranks those
backsliding wet Republicans who have been voting in
state elections for AL Smith and Roosevelt so as to voice
their anti-prohibition convictions.
Now Roosevelt has been renominated and former u. S
District Attorney futile is the Republican candidate for
governor on a slightly moist platform. He is not as mil
itantly wet as Roosevelt, but enough so to herd some of
the recalcitrant Republicans back into their own party.
Whether Tuttle will be wet enough to re-establish
party lines and secure enough votes to defeat Roosevelt
is problematical. Roosevelt has a united party back of
him and the Democrats are pulling out all stops and
bearing down on all pedals in their depression song.
The Republicans will toast the Tammany tiger, but
that has been done so often that, even in the face of
scandal and graft. 1t is hard to say whether the sins of
New York City will affect the political fortunes of Roose-
welt, who is personally popular and against whom no one
can utter charges Of graft. He has been classed as clean
and an advocate of progressive government. :
Charles H. futile. however, has linked Roosevelt with
Tammany and seeks to make the recent exposures in
New York City one of the main issues in the campaign.
1t Will be a stirring campaign with probably an indie
pendent dry candidate to c~omplicate party solidarity.

$5OO,OOO,OOO for Travel

The close Of the tourist season brings the estimate that
American travellers this summer spent no less than $780,
100000 to visit Europe. That is a rather big piece of
change; one wonders just what the American tourist got
for his money.
In some cases, probably, he got nothing at all. The
man who goes to Paris only to infest the American bar
and exchange hometown "reminiscences with some other
conpatriot might just as well be staying at home. But
for the most part, very likely. the tourists got their
moneys worth. In crossing the ocean they got a glimpse
Of a civilization that is quite unlike their own.
Even granting the contention that many tourists re-
main quite impervious to the effects of this exposure Of
old-world culture, it is obvious that the effect on Ameri-
ca as q whole must be considerable. Provincialism can
not live when people 60 travelling on such a scale.

ment is expected to muster as many or more. Civil war
in Brazil means war on a large scale and with modern
implements Of destruction.
We have formed the habit Of thinking Of revolutions
in the countries to the south Of us as comic opera af-
fairs. This is true largely because of the fact that the
bigger South American nations have gone along with the
business of developing themselves without much in the
way of revolution to mar their progress. 1t has been
the smaller, Central American nations which have made
a habit of revolution.
But Brazil is not Nicaragua. It is a great nation
whose size and Importance we do not fully appreciate
until we begin to check them up.

Different from the Rest

To persons who still think in terms Of what their
geography told them when they were in school. the revo-
luton now going on In Brazil may not mean q great
deal. Actually it is very important.
Brazil is a nation OF some 100000 souls and about
half as large as the United States. It has vast produc-
tive reaches of countryside and mountain and wonder
full prospects for industrial development.
The city Of Sac Paulo. called the Chicago Of Brazil,
does more manufacturing than any other city south Of
the equator. Rio de Janeiro is a city Of more than Q
million souls. Sac Paulo has almost as many.
With its vast potentialties and the wealth which al
ready has been developed, Brazil is important to the
United States as an outlet for the manufactures Of this
country. Those 100000 might easily be translated into
terms Of goods consumed. They might be considered
in terms Of goods produced there and consumed in the
United States.
1t Is not uncomfortable that the trouble in Brazil may,
when 1t finally is summed up. compare with our own
Civil war. The ~insurgent army said to be advancing up.
on Sac Paulo numbers approximately 100000 men, ac-
cording to the news dispatches. That is as many as

his important Civil war battles. The Brazilian govern

How Do They Do It?

n,.u.r.n.rs recentlv have carried in some detail the
exploits of a gentleman named Perry who is wanted 1or
the murder of a woman in Wisconsin. It seems that he
became acquainted with the lady through q want ad In
serted in a newspaper. Then he told her that ne would
rome into a large fortune II she would provide %transpor-
tation so that he could go to California and claim IL
and. in addition, marry a woman who would help him
.settle down" and thereby give proof to his aged mother
of his good intentions.
The woman accepted the invitation, borrowed some
money, and married Mr.. Perry. Subsequently he shot
her. presumably in cold blood after taking the money.
Then he escaped in the woman's automobile.
The whole affair is horribly cruel but one could under
stand how a human monster might conceive and execute
II. We are used to bloodshed In these days OF rum wars
and gang massacres and it takes q great deal to starUe Us.
B,t here's the catch. Mr.. Perry, 1t seems, has only
one eve. And that being so, the question which naturally
arises is what sort of appeal did he make TO the woman
in question that she should be willing TO marry MN
particularly under the circumstances. Since then IL mas
been reported from st. Louis that a man answering
perry's description has been working the same racket
at least in its preliminary stages, on two women tnere'
A real wife, with several children, turns up in NIL
waukee, living in the direst poverty. Perry never pro-
yided for his family and they haven't seen him for
months. A bigamous wife announces herself from
Cleveland. Ohio.
Here. then, is a man who has tricked a number OF
women, one of them to her death. He has a physical de-
formity which would turn most women from the thought
of marrying him unless he definitely had proved him
self to have a heart of gold. 1t is only reasonable to as
sumo that the mans real character must show IN his
face or in some of his actions. And still they are duped
by his persuasion.
Mr.. Perry may be guilty Of murder, but the women
whom he has tricked might reasonably be charged, not
only with poor judgment but with bad taste.

Children and Dishpans

Compulsory dishwashing never puts a rainbow round
the dishpan. But it does have a lot to do with that
chronic business of being too tired to wash the dishes.
Just the same. mothers can't seem to break themselves OF
the habit of quitting tea towels in their daughters hands
and suggesting that they wash the cups and saucers and
brush crumbs away.
But now Miss Marion 8. Van LEV, chief Of the Home
Economics Education Bureau Of the University OF the
State of New York, and education director of the Home
Making Center in New York City, has cast her influence
with the daughters. Mothers are all wrong. Compul-
sorry dishweshing, according to Miss Van Lew, has given
millions Of girls a drab outlook on home economics. 1t
has made them hate housework.
And it is all their mothers fault.
%stll-with q large family that must be fed three times
a day, to say nothing Of after school bread-and-butter
and-jelly sandwiches, it isn't always possible for q mother
to attend to the cleansing of the plates II she would darn
the family socks, sew on the family buttons, wash and
iron and scrub and sweep and dust and bake and stew
and nurse and market and plan the menus and tell the
agents that she isn't interested in anything todayl
OF course, If Sally and Sue and Mary didn't have to
assist in the cleansifying Of the dishes they would have
the thrill Of novelty when they dip their own rosebud
china into the foamy suds.
It is a sad state Of affairs. II modern labor saving de-
vices can't strengthen the case for the after-dinner ex-
ercises there seems to be little to be done about tex
cept let the mothers attend to the additions Of the china.
Dishwashing used to be something that every normal
girl had along with measles and mumps and chickenpox.
Now 1t would appear that it should be banished from
the childhood ailments along with the other hindrances
to health and freedom.
There is nothing to do, apparently. but let the moth
ers perform the publication rites for the porcelain and
dresden-unless common sense arises to remark that
children don't always need quite as much coddling Is
the experts seem to think.

Wholesome Entertainment

The world series is one of those American institutions
that we could not very well get along without.
To be sure, g~raybeards have a way of wagging their
heads at Our absorption in sport, and they are now re-
minding us that watching a ball game is a poor way of
getting exercise. The world series is being compared
with the old Roman gladiatorial shows-less bloody, but
no more useful.
Just the same, it serves a good purpose. If it does
nothing else, it gets our mind off Of our troubles. In
addition, 1t gives us a number Of thrills and injects a bit
Of color and excitement into a routine that often gets
rather drab.
In other words, it's fine stuff, and we should be none
the better off if 1t were abolished.

acne, but believe something is wrong
with my diet as my face breaks out
more when I eat sweets"
Answer: You are suffering from a
form of acne which is caused by an
impure blood stream from improper
food combinations. You are eating too
much carbohydrate food, and I would
advise instead plenty of fruit and
non-starchy vegetables. Constipation
must also exist in your case, which
would be corrected before the condi-
ton of your skin car be helped.
Water with Meals
Question: l.. o. writes: I'm your
menus you never mention any drink
with a meal. Is water not to be used
with mealS?"
Answer: If you feel thirsty at
mealtime drink a small amount of
water without ice. 1t is much better,
however, to do your water drinking
between meals. Let your thirst die
tate the amount, nd you will finally
get into the habit of drinking away
from meal and not with them.
Angina Pector.S
Question: j. M. C.. writes: Il
have a pain under my left arm, but
sometimes it moves about where the
heart is, and then down under the
ribs. I have been bothered for over
four months. I was examined twice.
The first doctor said I had a cold in
my lungs and the last one said I was
suffering from indigestion. Do you
think indigestion would give me a
pain for four months, or would it be
heart trouble?"
Answer: Your trouble is caused by
gas pressure which causes Indigestion
and this produces heart trouble be-
cause of the pressure of gas against
the heart. The pain in your side and
arm Is called angina pectoris.
