Mrs. Thomas G.. Winter, spokesman
between all organized women in the
United States and the motion pic

will be read before the convention
of the North Dakota Federation of
Women's clubs Thursday, in connec

She assures the delegates that the

is that they were too often the box

Mrs. r. A. Sprague, Grand Forks,
adviser on tuberculosis, will ask each
club In the state federation to donate
one sunsuit outfit for the under-par
children at Camp Grassick. This will
be in addition to the 10 cents per

Mrs. Sprague held the office of ad-
wiser on tuberculosis in the General
Federation for four years. Two years
ago this office was created in the
state federation to correspond with
the national. and ct this time the
North Dakota Federation began its
work for Camp 0rassick through Mrs.
Sprague's efforts.
When the clubs were asked for the
10 cents per capita two years ago,
about half OF the groups responded.
Mrs. 6prague said, and the work has

SCIENTISTS MEET
 TO DISCUSS WORK
First Report Deals With Sack
 Covering Of Heart

Chicago, March 27 UP)-Scien- lists whose discoveries have brought to light the value of insulin, vita mins and the importance and mar vels of various glands, gathered at the University of Chicago today to report the results of their research work
 About GOO of the nations leading physiologists, biochemsts, pharna- cologists and pathologists were pres ent for the sessions of the Federa- ation of American societies for eX- perimental biology.
 When the first days session start ed, = of the experimenters were ready to reveal the outcome of their labors in 10-minute reports. More than $50 papers will be read.
 Outstanding among the first re- ports was a. statement by E. J. Van Liere and George Crisler, of the physiology department of West Vir- einia university, showing that the rericardium, an inelastic sack sur rounding the heart and long a. pug gle to phySiologists, acts as a brake for that organ.
 The removal of the perlcardlun was revealed to leave the heart sub feet to dilaton far beyond its nor nal limits when the so-called brake covering" is in place.
 This experiment indicated for the first time that nervous and muscu- lar control are not sufficient to pre- vent injury to the heart when 1t is subjected to excessive eXcrtion or nerve action, and that a brake" is required to prevent excessive dila- tion under strain.

 Constitution Dcteriorating
 "The conclusion is that the coa- stitution, as a living organism, is ill process of deterioration, and not of growth. To change the metaphor. t is much as the New Jersey beach at my summer home. and l here venture to quote what I said in this respect in my book, The Vanishing Flights of the States:
 "'The encroaching waves
 
 tide there is less beach and at low tide more. At times the beach is devoured by the ocean. when tempest has lashed it into fury, and then the waters will become as placid as q mountain lake, and the shore will seem to have triumphcd in this age-old struggle be- tween land and water.
 The owner of the upland is
 often deceived by the belief | that the fluctuations of the
 battle generally leave the shore
 line intact, but when he con- | siders the results of years, and | not of months, he will realize | that the shore has gradually lost in the struggle and that
 slowly. but steadily, the ocean
 is eating into the land.'
 If we of today. cngrossod as VI; are in the compleXity of this mod ern-day world, fail to see how thl upland of the constitution is being slowly destroyed by the erosion O the waves of innovation, yet thl men who framed the constitution had no illusions as to it's perpetu ity. Thus, the founder of this SO ciety, after the constitution Wa' adoped, said, with his usual genia humor.
 "'Our Constitution is in act
 tual operation; everything ap-
 pears to promise it will last,
 but in this world nothing is
 certain but death and taxes
 Indeed, on the last day of tn, convention, when the aged Frank lin--as some say, with tears in hi eyes-implored the reluctant dele gates to sign the great compact which was to immortalze them all and won their consent by his skill ful and ingr1tiating speech, Il, made this prediction:
 "There is no form of gov
 crnment but what may be a
 blessing to the people if well
 administered for a course of
 years, and can only end in
 despotsm, as other foms have
 done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, be-
 ing incapable of an other.'

through Our superior armament, We have invented
a dozen devices of transportation or manufacturing
which claim their victims in numbers which would
arouse the tiger Of the age to the
most furious envy.
DR.. Herman Bundesen coroner Of Cook county,
the home of Chicago, just has turned in his report
for the last ten years. He finds that no less than
43487 inhabitants Of Chicago met unnatural or vio-
lent death during the last decade.
This is a greater number than have met violent
death in any war in which the United States has en-
gagged, excepting only the Civil war.
1t ordinarily will be assumed that most Of these
deaths were the result of gang wars and the no
toriously high murder rate in Chicago. But find
that only 4242 of these deaths were due to hom-
cides. This is appalling, compared to the homicide
rate in London during the same period but not SO
impressive when put against the total number Of
violent deaths in Chicago.
Drys naturally would look to poison as the
chief cause of the rapid decimation among the sub
jects of Big Bill Thompson, but there were only 300
deaths from this cause in 1929 In Short the great
majority OF deaths were caused by automobile and
industrial accidents.
The increasing mortality an incident OF the
development of machine age and the economic
and moral ideals accompanying it.
1t is seriously held by many that the outstanding
cause of the high human mortality in the machine
age is the difficulty and danger Of operating con-
temporary machines and vehicles, and that the ap-
palling death rate is inevitable This we'll may be
doubted
Fully as important are the habits which the new
technology and the economic philosophy have
generated. The profit psychology has been as potent
as pure machinery in killing and manning our thou
sands and tens of thousands
1t is the haste to make money-a haste that leads
to rapidly in locomotion and to lack of economic
responsibility in operating industry and transporta-
ton SO as to hasten prohts-whch kills off mankind
with such rapidity.
When we learn that we seek competence or
riches primarily to live, lists of violent deaths
will evaporate like a snow bank under July sun.
Our machines be operated safely but we are not
willing to go Slowly enough in speed and profits 10
make them safe.
