A Mayors Wife Is Robbed

1t has been a long time since there has been anything
quite as amusing as Mayor William Hale Ihompsons
recent thunderous declaration that Chicago,s police must
get the upper hand in their war with ~gangland.
Such a declaration, in itself. is not especially funny, OF
course. But you have to look at it in connection with
its background.
Through several years ~gangland has had Chicago more
or less at its mercy, and during all of that time the
mayor has never seemed perturbed by the situation. His
public remarks have been chiefly assertions that the
city's troubles have been greatly magnified by designing
political schemers and sensational newspapers.
But the other night ~gangsters held up the mayors
wife and relieved her Of some valuable Jewels. And the
next day the mayor sounded Oft.

But in either case they are extremely valuable to the
men who get them.
1t is hard to over estimate the gain that might be made
II every city and town should put on a similar campaign.
A great deal of misery and suffering could be averted
and a real stride toward better, more active business
could be made.
Bismarcks community chest campaign should prevent
meritorius persons from suffering real want this winter
but the odd-job idea, as practiced in Racine, offers the
advantage that the person who pays the money
gets the direct benefit. ALI Bismarck residents who can
do so would help themselves as well as the community by
falling in line with this movement.

An odd Jobs Campaipn

There are two ways of meeting any sort of misfortune.
One is to sit down and call on the world to witness
that you are being foully treated. The other is to roll up
your sleeves and go out and do something to make things
better.
AS far as the present economic depression goes, the
first method seems to be more popular with most of us.
We read and hear OF men who are close to starvation be-
cause they can't get work, and we shake our heads and
feel very sorry for them-and let it go at that.
There are exceptions, however. In Racine, Wis, the
citizens decided to adopt the second course: and they
have gone to work so effectively that their action deserves
to be broadcast over the nation so that other cities can
copy it.
An intelligent columnist named Tex Reynolds, who
bit of a job, no matter how paltry. does q jobless man
. lot more good than a lot of public wailing. With the
aid of his paper, he launched what you might call an
Odd Job Campaign, urging everyone In Racine who pos
sibly could to find, or invent, some sort of odd job that
some unemployed workman could I'LL.
Business and civic leaders fell in line enthusiastically
The unemployed men were enrolled, SO that people could
|see Just how many men needed work. Citizens who had
Irregular Jobs looked around for chances to hire men.
Some engaged men to clean their furnaces. Others
FOUND they could pay a couple Of dollars to have ashes
|hauled Always and rubbish removed. Others found other
Innal jobs. All in all, a good many men were given work
That they needed very badly, and q good many flat
|pocketbooks got a little much-needed s~tuffing.
Now the important thing about all of this is that it is
the sort OF measure that any city or town can take. It
= adapted to the biggest city in the country and to the
Enallest. It does not need a lot Of wealthy people to
make IT . success. The man OF modest means can take
hn important part In it.
Some OF the jobs obtained in this manner prove
permanent. Most Of them last only 4 day OF a week

Discipline Then and Now

Whether or not the world is growing better, 1t is a.
least growing a little less brutal. Brief news items in
nearly any newspaper will prove that.

a firm disciplinaran, and the crew resented it: so tire.

the rest would have been flogged until they were tit TO,

to maintain naval discipline 100 years ago.

laid.
The mansion was first occupied by
President and Mrs. Adams in 1900.
The first mistress has put on record
the amount of discomfort she expert
enced during the single winter of her
stay in Washington. Congress had
appropriated $25, 900 for furnishing
the white house. but Mrs. Adams,
nevertheless, had lots to complain
about. No system Of bells were pro-
vided: there was neither fire wood
nor persons to cut 1t in the surround

without CRATES. 1t was impossible to
use coal.

WHY DYSPEPTICS ARE CRANKY
Often great financiers have jndi-
gestion or dyspepsia due to their con-
Germ over the ups and downs Of the
market, and even their office boys
know they had better see how the
boss IL digesting his lunch before they
ask for q raise.
BY dyspepsia Is meant tho indiges-
ton caused by the loss Of the normal
ability to digest food In comfort. On
account OF the nervous disturbance
which indigestion often causes, the
patient becomes easily irrttated, de-
pressed and sleepless. A confirmed
dyspeptic Is q confirmed crank be-
cause his digestive juices make him
one.
Patients with digestive disorders Of
ten learn to dwell too much upon the
state Of their health until they be-
come what are known as "hypochon-
driacs" which means that they pay
too much attention to passing symp-
toms. But let the same patient
change his habits of eating and liv-
Ing 50 that his food agrees with him
and he becomes cheerful and has that
well-fed, vital look, all as the result
OF getting his digestion adjusted.
There are many causes Of indiges-
ton, but you can readily see that the
wrong habits Of eating are responsible
IN most cases. Some common causes
are: Eating bad food combinations,
eating when tired or worried, eating
too large a quantity Of food, eating
foods which are tainted or those hard
to digest, such as greasy pastries or
fried foods, irregular hours Of eating,
eating too rapidly, not chewing the
food sufficiently, drinking concentrate
ed alcoholic beverages or drinking x
cessively with meals.
In acute attacks of Indigestion,
known as upset stomach or sour stom.
ach, there may be considerable colicy
pain, fever, and even vomiting or
diarrhea, but once the attack passes
the patient fully RECEIVERS within q
short time.
In chronic cases there may be head
ache, dizziness, blurring Of the vision,
a tired feeling, heart burn, gas in the
stomach and pain or just q general
feeling of distress and heaviness.
Temporary relief for those with
chronic indigestion may be gained by
drinking large quantities Of water be-
tween meals. The water dilutes the
digestive juice and so relieves un-
pleasant symptoms which will other
wise arise.
The patient suffering from indiges-
ton should try to lead q tranquil,
life. Many doctors know that
family troubles are often q cause of
indigestion, and some Of the most
stubborn cases of dyspepsia occur
with women who long to leave their
husbands but r tied to them by

The Churches and Illiteracy

OAA AACV
In the United States there are over five million per.
sons over ton years of age unable to read or write.
are ~illtterate. enough to hold the balance of power in
the average election. \
Some highly interesting sidelights on the situation can
be pointed out.
OF those committed to prisons and reformatories, &C.
cording to the census bureau, l07 per cent are i~Iiterate.
The percentage Of illiteracy Of the country as a whole
for those between the ages of fifteen and thirty -four, is
only 46 per cent. This means that the percentage Of il
llteracy among criminals is more than twice as great az
1t Is among the general population, indicating the marked
inferiority Of criminals with respect to education.
Among the foreign-born whites the percentage of
~illiterates in 1880 was IL per cent, as against II per cent
for the entire country. In 1890. it was 1871 per cent for
the foreign-born and 1873 per cent for the United States:
IN 1900. 1913 for the foreign-born and l07 per cent for
the United States: in 1910, 1877 per cent for the foreign
born and ~ for the United States. In 1920. the figures
stood at 1871 per cent for the foreign-born and six per
cent for the United States. 1t is thus apparent that, for
the foreign-born scarcely varied, whereas for the country
as a whole 1t decreased from II to six per cent.
acy among immigrant aliens admitted to the United
States. During the years ~l9o0-l909, the percentage Of
iliteracy among this class was % per cent. From 1910
per cent; from ls2O-1924, it was 81. In 1925, it was OF;
in 1926, 90; in 1927, l.6: and in 1928, 10. This indicates
me percentage OF iliteracy among aliens admitted since
1870 was substantially less than the ilhteracy in the UNI
ted States as a whole.
IT is a noteworthy fact that iliteracy among the native
whites OF native parentage in this country is three times
as great as it is among the native whites OF foreign or
mixed parentage. This may be accounted for by the fact
that a much larger proportion of the native whites of
native parentage are found in rural communities, where
there are less adequate educational opportunities.
DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur. secretary of the interior. who
is planning a vigorous attack upon the whole problem
OF llllteracy. has made an urgent request upon the
churches to aid him In this effort. It is to be hoped that
they will respond heartily. 1t is p task directly in line
with their own historic interest in education. In large
cities, churches might very readily furnish ~~olunteels
who would lch in evening classes. Many churches IN
found might well conduct such classes on their own
premises.

The building was burned by the

In 1908 the pressure of space was re-

offices in the grounds connected with
the main building. The building to-
day is a two-story white freestone
edifice. It contains the private
apartments of the president on the

Among the latter are the famous
