The Bane of Red Tape

Rules and regulations are makeShiftS for good and
ready judgment. Modern life being complicated as 1t
is requires this form Of organization to keep within ts
orbits. We guide our actions by rules, formulas, prece-
dents and laws. The question often rises as to when resu-
lation should fade out and when and how judgment
should be substituted For rules are made to be broken
as well as obeyed. Just as absence Of regulation in the
would lead to endless confusion until every public con-
Germ would become a madhouse affair, so also does non.
exercise of judgment at times become a tragedy. Red
tape requires cutting when it snarls and tangles.
The other day a Cleveland y~oungster set out to hop a
ride on a railroad freight train. Climbing up on a NOV
ing hox car. he slipped and fell to the track. One leg
was badly nangled.
The accident took place in a suburb on the extreme
eastern edge OF the city. The train crew picked the In
jured lad up and took him to the nearest hospital.
At this hospital there was a physician in the employ Of
the railroad. He gave the boy first aid measures; then,
when he learned that the patient was penniless, was not
employed by the railroad and was injured when stealing
a ride on a train, he refused to do anything more for
him. Instead he ordered that the boy be transferred to
the city hospital.
It took the hospital staff Is minutes to make out the
necessary papers. Then followed q ls-mile drive to the
city hospital, far on the other side Of town. The police
patrol wagon that carried the injured boy passed three
other hospitals on the way. but they had their orders to
60 to the city hospital and to the city hospital they went
reaching 1t after a 45-minute drive.
Doctors there found the boys leg needed amputation.
and performed the operation. But the lad had been
weakened by the delay and the long ride, and after
lingering for two days he died.
His life was sacrificed to the extensive combination of
rules. regulations and red tape that binds our lives in
this modern age.
The doctor at the first hospital had the rules With hin,

Another Fire n

AnOCner Ire MENACE
Cigaret butts and cigar stubs are discarded at the rate
Of 10000 a minute In the United states, says the De-
partrnent Of Agriculture.
Tests have shown that q fire can be started from these
"~discards" with a wind of only three or four miles an
hour. Here is a possible fire menace that should be
watched carefully. With forest fires raging In several
sections Of the East and the season for them In the west
not far off, the need for care in heavily wooded sections
is obvious, but 1t is also true that caution is necessary
in the home, office and city buildings.

Hobos Yield to Lure of Vienna

HObOS Yield to Lure OF Vienna
AS II Vienna did not already have trouble enough Of
its own, the International vasabx,d congress has picked
out the Teutonic Paris OF central Europe for It's annual
international convention.
Soon streams Of hobos will be seen vending their way
eastward on the Northern Pacific right Of way, II not on
the freight trains passing through here, and in Gathering
tin Liszies. They will be the delegations going to attend
this novel convention. For Vienna has q mighty appeal
for people Of leisure.
There is a sturdy quality about It's beer, 1t IL famous for
its blonde, blue-eyed women and 1t Is the home Of the
Blue Danube waltz. In Vienna the atmosphere always
is genial, frivolity IL the native virtue and there arc
10000 cafes where one will be srsciously served free with
a glass Of water II the price Of a stein or a schoppen Is
lacking.
This faculty for bohemian hospitality knows no par
TALLY. There IL in it the soul Of equality. Already the
police have assured the buns that they arc welcome and
that they can stretch their legs at ease in the Prater
while the convention lasts. The Prater is the biggest
municipal park In Europe.
Bismarck will not be represented. This is a land where
folks are too busy to go cumming. When people own
farms, and homes and radios and cars, Coxeyis armies
do not thrive. Even last year the inroads Of these evil
dences of the prosperous life cut down the attendance at
Dusseldorf. It is said most Of the hobos who came to
keep alive memories Of other days were holders OF fat
er were hitch hiking the highways or riding the brake
beams.
The meeting, however, will derive some distinction
from the presence Of q number of literary hobos. both
from this country and from the countries Of Europe.

Let Hoover Visit Bad Lands

When President Hoover comes West In August to spend
his vacation in the nations Fairgrounds Of Glacier, yell
lowstone and Estes parks as well as other national re-
sorts in between these, why not also visit North Dakota's
Bad Lands?
Let the Association of Commerce get busy and suggest
such a visit. The president should be able to arrange his
plans SO as to include this. The historic association Of
the Bad Lands and the region bordering on them should
appeal to the chief executive.
The Bad Lands are one Of the unique areas of the
world. They constitute, also, tangible data Illuminating
American problems in the line of conservation, rec]ainA-
ton, forestation, national park creation, therefore recrea-
ton.
Around Medora they also are peculiarly historic In 4
romantic sense, from the associations Of Theodore Roose-
welt and the Marquis de Mores. Memories Of the remark
a visit to the Bad Lands country worthwhile.
A night spent in the de Mores chateau by the president
should be an experience appealing 70 the imagination.
A president can not get along without an imagination.
Contact with the memories Of the COS such As the prcsi-
dent would experience amid the scenes where the ro-
mantle Frenchman dreamed of founding another pack
ing metropolis amid the herds of cattle which 1t seemed
to him were ~needlessly transported east for slaughter
should help the president to a better grasp Of what the
West has meant ana still means to the nation. 1t would
sharpen his appreciation Of this section Of the West.
BY all means see that President Hoover gets an invi-
tation to stop over in North Dakota and spend a night
at the de Mores chateau. Governor ShAfer, who has had
two breakfasts at the white house, should see that Mi.
Hoover now gets q breakfast in North Dakota in return.
The service clubs also might take a hand In this matter.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Rash on Face

question: Mrs. M. E. asks: "Will
you kindly tell me what is the matter
with me? I have a rash on my face
which burns and itches slightly. Does
not 60 farther than face and neck.
Is it caused from the nerves? What
can I do for it? Have had it before.
but not so bad"
Answer: I could not determine ex-
actly the cause Of the rash without
examining you. Most rashes Of this
type will clear up on an acid fruit or
orange juice fast, and I would advise
you to try this. If it does not clear
up within a weeks time have a thor
ough examination and send me your
doctors report so that I may advise
you mor definitely.
Rhubarb Greens
Question: X. M. writes: II would
like to know If the LEAKAGE of rhubArb
is edible as a green vegetable"
Answer: The leaf Of the rhubarb
should not be used, as 1t contains an
excess amount Of oxalic acid, and
many cases of poisoning have been
noted using the leaves of rhubarb as
green's.
Sleeping Alone
Question: H. G. B. writes: "Please
give me your opinion on a one-time
general impression that a slender per-
son sleeping in the same bed with an
extremely healthy person would be-
come thinner. Is this a superstition.
or is it founded on scientific merit?"
Answer: The impression that a
slender person sleeping in the same
bed with an extremely healthy per-
son, would become thinner, is merely
superstition. However, 1t is always a
better policy to sleep alone II DOS

ing or slowing up from constipation,
or If there is an excessive putrefac-
ton, an inflammation Of the colon is
likely to ensue. This occurs most fire.
Quently in the ascending colon be-
cause of the extra pressure Of grav-
ity which is made worse by a sharp
kink at the top end of the ascending
colon when it makes a downward
curve to form the transverse colon.
For this reason the appendix comes
in for it's share Of inflammation that
50 frequently occurs in this region.
Sometimes the small opening Of the
appendix may be completely closed by
the spread of this inflammation. or
it may be blocked by small pieces of
hardened focal matter which have
been forced into its entrance. When
not inflamed the appendix usually
succeeds in forcing these particles
back into the colon.
The symptoms Of appendicitis are
fairly constant. First, there is usual
ly a sharp or colicky pain through
the right side. It may begin with
the stomach or be diffused over the
abdomen, but toward the end it settles
down somewhere near the right lilac
fossa. The next symptoms is that
the patient is nauseated and may be-
gin to vomit. Constipation ensues,
the muscles of the lower right side are
rigid, and the patient usually raises
the right leg to ease the pressure.
The patient has a fever. usually mod
crate at first. Upon pressure there
is a tenderness and soreness III the
side. and the blood shows an increase
in the number Of white c~orpuscles.
Most Of the patients have an attack
of the acute catarrhal type which
may be mild and often heals spon-
taneously within a week or two. After
several Of these attacks there is a
danger that future attacks will be
accompanied by the formation of pus
and a real abscess may form in the
appendix which If not treated cor
rectly sometimes results in a perfor-
alton into the abdominal cavity and
finally the development Of peritonitis.
