Anniversary Of .
HAUPTMANN'S BIRTH


On Nov. Is, 1862, Gerhart Haupt-
mann, foremost and most represent
alive writer in Germany. was born
in S~alzhrunn, the son Of an inn
keeper.
Until he was about "a Hauptmann
vaccilated between farming. painting
and sculptoring. HIS instincts were,
however, always artistic. SO, when
he vas obliged to return to Berlin
from his travels because Of illness, he
decided to try his hand at writing.
When he was n he began the series
Of dramas which set him at q bound
at the head Of the German dramatic
writer's Of his time. The first OF his
plays appeared at . time when cult
waited Germans read nothing but
works Of Scandinavian. French and
Russian writer's. It was Hauptmann
who forced German attention back
to its native writer's.
Eauptmsnn established the nat
uralist movement in his country
with = series Of dramas depicting life
Of the working classes Of poverty
stricken middle classes. His Die
Weber, q social drama Of the rise,
outbreak development and failure Of
I miniature revolution. Is perhaps his
greatest work. He was awarded the
Nobel prize for literature in 1912 and
is still living.

The Smoke Clears AWAY
(The Bowman County Pioneer)

cine Bowman County PlOneer)
The smoke of the battle of ballots has cleared away
and again the country has been saved. We will not be
headed for the bow-wows until the next election APP
proacheS. This is an loft year" in politics. 1t is a per-
iot of real, or imaginary, depression in which democratic,
socialist ct al seem to thrive, at least they seem to have
captured the high offices throughout the nation. The
doubtful states are no longer doubtful, they are democra-
tic, which Is just as bad. Illinois refutes Republican
Ruth Hanna Mccormick and elects j. Ham Lewis, a
gentleman with pink whiskers. Will Mr..
Nye investigate that? Montana turns down one of it's
brightest men and sends Democratic Tom Walsh back
to the senate to take all the joy out of a Republican
presidents life. South Dakota elects a Democratic SEN
ator and a Republican governor. North Dakota would
have returned Nye had we voted for a senator
at this election. Several states voted to repeal their
dry laws and to break the Volstead law. The county just
naturally went to the dogs because it was an off year.

A THAT WAISTLrNE


Many people who are over forty
years Of age realize that they weigh
too much, but hesitate about reducing
because they have read so much
about the danger Of losing weight,
but the truth Of it is that they are in
more danger II they do not reduce.
Between forty and forty-five is the
time Of life when most people begin
to put on q great deal of weight and
become. candidates for pneumonia,
heart trouble, kidney trouble, dia-
hetes, diseases of the arteries and
anemia.
Experts of the great life insurance
companies state that after the age of
thirty five. it is q slight advantage
to be even q little under normal in
weight. These experts say that the
worst type of fat from the standpoint
Of long life is the fat which is packed
on the abdomen. A good way to find
out If you have too much weight at
this point Is to draw in q breath and
measure your chest. Now measure
your abdomen. If your chest is any
where within three to five inches
greater than your abdomen you are
not dangerously overweight, but if
your chest and abdomen measure the
same or If your abdomen is larger,
you should Immediately start to re-
duce.
After thirty-five overweight not
only handicaps your appearance but
Is q shortener of life itself. In fact
it might be said that the longer your
waistline the shorter your lifeline aft
er the age of thirty-five. If you want
to keep going full speed to a long life,
see that your weight does not get
above normal.
Many people do not know how to
begin 9. reducing regime nor how to
continue with it. The permanent
cure of overweight depends upon the
evolution Of diet SO as to use only the
amount of food necessary for re-
pairing and building up the normal
tissues Of the body and no excess
need be taken above this require
ment.
The quickest and most infallible
method of reducing the weight to
normal is to use a fasting cure in
some form. A fast with small
amounts Of water and the juice of
citrus fruits Is perhaps the best pro-
cedure for the average case. Weight
can be reduced from q half to q
pound daily with marked improve
ment in all the bodily functions. An
apparent increase of energy will be
noted which Is caused by the body
being freed Of its burden Of incum-
brance. The mind power will be
strengthened, and the ordinary occu-
pations may be practiced with in
creased vigor., Deep breathing exer-
cises should also be taken.
The diet following the short fast
should be carefully chosen, avoiding
the starches and sugars until the nor
NAL weight has been reached. If the
proper amount Of protein and green
vegetables is used the body will be
supplied with all of the elements es-

At the top OF the stairs to the
first floor I stopped abruptly. Muir

Clearing Buckley's Name

Reports from Detroit indicate that the estate left by
Jerry Buckley, the young radio announcer who was killed
by gunner last spring. totaled only $50. This news is
worth thinking about.
To begin with, it ought to knock on the head those
rlnors current at the time Of his murder, that Buckley
was in league with crooks and was ~extorting large sums
Of money from ~speakeasy proprietors under threat of e-
posing them. II that had been true it seems reasonable

What We Paw for Coal

Annarentlv we do not get mortified as easily as We used
to, There was q day-not so terribly remote, either
when the news that more than 80 men had been killed
by an explosion in q coal mine would have shocked us
almost beyond endurance. But the Sunday Creek tragedy
in Ohio, If 1t did not pass unnotlced. AZ least mace "tt'e
more than a ripple on the surface.
Of course, it happened at the wrong time. News OF 1t
reached the country on a day when election returns were
in everybodys mind. It was a lot more interesting, that
day, to see who was being elected to what than 1t was to
read about a few score men being killed in underground
passages along the Hooking Valley. Usually we can't
absorb more than one sensation at a time.
Nevertheless, this disaster should have Jared us harder
than it did. For the coal miner, after all, Is a man
whose Job touches all of us. The coal that you shovel
into your furnace, on winter nights, was brought up tor
YOU by men who risked just such catastrophes. AT some
time during your life you have been kept warm by a fire
that was bought with some mans blood.
The very least we can do is to mediate a bit. on the
coal miner and his job. It isn't a very pleasant Job, ana
it most assuredly is not one on which a man can grow
rich.
All in all, the coal miner is not a man to be envied; and
when you add to his other troubles the fact that ex-
blossoms and cave-ins will happen, now and then, In spite
of all precautions, you can perhaps understand how IT
is that bitter and violent strikes occasionally disrupt the
industry.
All of this, probably, is just another way of saying that
this is rather an imperfect world. The millennium prob
ably Is still q little distance away. Coal is a commodity
with which nature has bountifuly supplied us, and which
we need very much; but so far nobody seems to have
devised a means of getting it out Of the earth that does
not mean a pretty poor sort of life for the man who
does the digging.
Nor is there anything in particular that We can do
about it.. It will take a good deal of time-pus a good
deal more honest thought than has yet been given the
subject-to make coal mining what it ought to be; and
in the meantime we shall 90 on as we are. with a sub
terranean explosion every now and then to remind us
that the Job hasn't been finished. But it is at least
good for us to realize just how things are. 1t may help
to keep US from getting too contented with things.

hood offered itself for army service. there was a good
deal Of panied surprise at the large numbers that were
turned down because they were not up to par physically.
The millions Of examinations made by the army doctors
showed that we were not. as a nation. quite as healthy
as we had supposed.
Whether there has been any particular change In the
years since the war Is m open question. However. 1t is
worth noting that the doctors who examine aspi:ants for
aviation studies arc finding q very high level Of physical
w~ell-being among the young men who come to them.
The commerce department has just revealed that only
s per cent Of al the people who decide to learn to fly
are rejected because OF physical defects: yet these avia.
ton examinations are extremely stiff. Il
It may be, Of course, that only the healthy and robust
even try to take the examinations in the first place. But
It is just possible that the countrys general average Of
physical excellence has risen a little.
