A Hero Dies
(New York World-Telegram)

Monuments to the political and
martial makers of our history stand
ON pedestalS throughout the land.
Space should be reserved for monu-
ments to the heroes of science who
suffer and die in the unsung war on
disease and premature death. Such
hero has died.
He was Alfred Seymour Reinhart,
of Dorchester, 24-year-old graduate
student in Harvard medical school,
While boy Reinhart learned that he
was doomed to die of heart disease.
Immediately he counted off his days
and began his researches with his own
body as his subject. He graduated with
honors, entered medical school, spe-
cialized in the heart.
One day he saw upon his arm the
bright red patches that warn the pa
tient that he has just four months
more to live.
Shutting himself in a tiny hospital
room, Reinhart began a minutely sub
jective study upon his own body. He
recorded every symptom, noted every
physical reaction as death crept
toward his heart.
Despite my pain" he recorded in
his notebook, II am hesitant about
taking the drug, because it would
cloud whatever abdominal symptoms
were present and would make the
diagnosis difficult" He then ar
ranged for post-mortem study of his
body and closed his book of life.

NEW
YORK
|,!||! Glib Swan

New York, Dec. 19.-New York will
never quite recover from the shock
received recently when "the voice of
the city" was discovered to be COM
bination of Morton Downey in his
more falsetto moments; Rudy vallee
in the process of calling moose and
Jack Dempsey in his usual talking
voice.
"The voice of the CITY," in a word,
was high-pitched tenor suggesting
the effeminate.
Here was New York, prideful of
strength and herman qualities of sur
vival; pictured as giant of tremen-
dous vitality! And then, the embar-
RAISING discovery that the giant had
piping tenor voice! For years the
voice of the city" had been the SUBJ
ject of stories and songs, presenting
Sphinx-like problem.
And then a certain Dr. Biard White
was retained as q research engineer
to record the voices of several capi-
tails. London came in pleasantly mas
culine: good, deep baritone with a
bass quality. But when the. sound
waves of Manhattan were recorded
they were, alas, slightly hysterical
and falsettO.
X X X
Yet, it seems to me, that DR.. White
probably made his recordings during
the buster periods of New York day,
when brakes are squeaking; tenor
horns are sounding and screeching
noises rasp the human ear
To me, New York IS at its most mu-
sical just about dawn of a foggy
morning. Then, with silence riding
over the noisy city, the many-toned
fog signals come clearly in from the
rivers and harbor that rim the island.
Then is played strange and mod
ernistic symphony, interrupted by the
far-away whistle of a train or the
echo of barking dog.
And there are sectional sounds, too,
that DR.. White may or may not have
investigated. The sounds Of Harlem
on a Sunday morning are not the
sounds of Harlem on Friday night,
nor are they the sounds of the East
Side at any time.
And the sounds Of the push-cart
belt in Rivington street or Orchard
are not the sounds of Second avenue
The nasal songs of the street vendors
as they make their way through the
East Side arteries the squabbling
voices of street bargainerS rise to a
key Of hysteria and die to soft prom
Use of a special price" a. from the
windows, the shrieking Voices OF
mothers calling their children in from
the street the high pitch of voices
talking against the deafening roar OF
an overhead elevated
These are elements that create "the
voice Of the city"

ghetto served the congregation fri

Voices of the ghetto are said to
among the most rasping in the world
The tenement folk are said to talk far
above average pitch. But they have
to- shout down so many intruding
noises. And, then, emotion plays
quite a part in many Of their ma
tional alliances. The mere selling OF
an old shoe from push-cart is often
accompanied by a scene worthy of a
David Warfield.
The old-time comedy scenes were
not so highly exaggerated. Gents in
Division street still try to pull in Gus

dering sailormen find themselves fit.

than they can afford; Irish, Hebrew

c me entangled In international
tongues over the purchase of q head

These, to be sure, are the minor key
voices of the city and welded into a
vast unit they very well might turn
out to have a high tenor pitch.

Idea for Politicians

Certain advertising of food, cloth
ing and other essentials dwells on
'pre-war prices" A check-back prob
ably is not needed to demonstrate that
to an extent pre-war retail prices have
come back. Advertisers usually choose
slogans expertly; and the present case
suggests the possibilities of wider use
of "pre-war" in appeals to the public.
How about the politicians of cities,
counties, states and the nation get
ting together in an enthusiastic and
gigantic drive for return everywhere
to "pre-war" taxes?

Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association

| Epidemiologists and authorities In
medicine have attributed the fall OF
the Roman and Grecian civilizations
to the development Of malaria among
the population. Certainly q constant
incidence of this disease will devitalize
any individual.
Today enough is known about ma
laria to make it possible for any COM
munity that Is willing to spend suffi-
cient money to stamp out the disease,
Because Of this fact malaria is be-
coming less prevalent in the United
States each year. It has been argued
that q million people in the United
States constantly suffer from malaria,
but most authorities believe that this
statement Is an exaggeration; local
surveys indicate that the morbidity
and the mortality Of the disease are
constantly falling.
= X \
The physician diagnoses malaria by
the characteristic symptoms, which
include regularly recurring attacks Of
chills and fever, the presence Of en-
larged spleen and the presence Of the
malarial parasite In the blood.
The plaSmodium of malaria was
discovered by the famous scientist La
veran, who received the Nobel prize
for this discovery. It was shown by
Ross and Grassi that the organism Of
malaria Is transmitted from one hu-
man being to another through the bite
Of the anopheles mosquito.
AS long as the adult parasites are
present in the blood of the individual
in sufficient quantities to infect the
mosquito that bites the individual, the
person is a possible conveyor Of ma
laria. Since the parasites remain in
the blood for months, providing that
the individual Is not properly treated,
anyone who Is not undergoing regu-
lar treatment Is q menace to those
around him.
Children suffer more severely with
the disease than does the adult. Ne
groes apparently are less affected by
the disease than are the white people.
Malaria has been practically stamped
out Of northern communities, and
cases are rarely seen even in large
charity hospitals in the northern part
Of the United States. However, the
disease appears fairly frequently on
the coastal plains Of the southwestern
states and in the Mississippi valley
below st. Louis, also in Texas, LOU
isiana, Arkansas, southern Missouri
and California. Malaria in Porto
Rico and in the Philippines is Sc
riouS problem.

50 Useful Years
Members of the First Baptist church
of Bismarck join this weekend in
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary OF
the institution of that church in Bis
marck and members of other congre-
cations in the city offer friendly con-
gratulations and best wishes.
The history Of the local Baptist con-
gregation Is recounted elsewhere in
this issue of The Tribune. The thing
we deal with here is the significance
of this anniversary.
Bearing in mind the fact that hu-
man individuals, not buildings or
property, make church, we see an
organization of which the good folk
of 1881 might well be proud. It is
comfortably housed in fine build
ing, but this is the least of its pos
sessions. Its most precious heritage
is an abiding faith, a firm hope and
the love which dominates the actions
of every Christian church.
1t is a fit representative of the
many other churches in Bismarck
which, though they may differ in
creeds and in tenets of faith, all strive
Loyalty toward the upbuilding OF Hi.
kingdom.
The sight of this flourishing congre-
cation after so years is ample answer
also, to those who contend that the
churches are losing their hold upon
the hearts and intelligence of the
people and their place in the world
Nothing could be more absurd. Chris
tianity today, as represented by any
we'll established church, is a more
powerful factor in the world now thar
ever before. The principles embodied
in the Sermon on the Mount and il.
lustrated by the Child in a mangel
or Christ on the cross are eternal and
imperishable. They will serve this
generation and those to come as they
have served those in the past.
Only because it has met the spir.
itual needs of its place and time ha'
the First Baptist church of Bismarck
come to its golden anniversary strong.
er and better fitted for the fu.ur
than ever before. Only as it has OBJ
served the principles which guide tn,
great Christian family has it beer
successful in fulfilling its place.
The church ministers to the mins
and, on occasion, to the body. but it
great field still is in the realm O
spiritual things. To some it may ap
pear to be a Goddess world, but thos
who feel that way do not appreciate
the spirit Of their fellowmen. The,
may not agree that never before hav
spiritual values been more appreci
ated or the things of the soul receive,
more attention than is the case to
day, but there are evidences of tn
fact on every hand.
It is in recognition of the par
which it has played in that develop
nlent in, Bismarck that the people q
this community, regardless Of creee
extend congratulations to the Firs
Baptist church upon its golden ami
versary.

COLISEUM HAS CARNIVAL FUN
 FOR NEW YEAR
Top Speed' After Mid night and Ladies
 Man. Tonight

Carnival fun will follow fast in the wake of the New Year at the Coliseum theatre tonight. Joe E, Brown in Top Speed" will lead the screen entertainment, and the added film features will be a revival of silent pictures of yesteryear, en- acted by Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle and other stars. Besides there will be five vaudeville acts on the stage. The doors will open fer the New Year show at 12:30 tonight, and the program will be- gin promptly one hour later.
 Ladies Man" This Evening
 Ladies Night" with William Powell and Kay Francis in the leading roles, will be presented at only the two regular performances tonight. Between these two regu- lar performances a turkey and two chickens will be awarded to three persons in the audience.
 Top Speed" which besides headlining the New Year Carnival program tonight, will be shown at the regular performances tomorrow night. It is a rollicking comedy. In it, there are five different dance numbers and one of these by Mervyn Leroy, is of his own origination, called Knock Knees, V which promises to become one of the outstanding steps in the coun- try.
 Fortunate For Brown
 The San Francisco earthquake may have ben a catastrophe to some people, but for Brown it was a fortunate event.
 Brown was Is years old and a member of a troupe of acrobats playing fourth rate vaudeville in San Francisco at the time. There were four boys in the troupe and all were underpaid and received little more than their food
 The troupe was never reorganized after the earthquake.
 Went Back To School
 Browns relatives in Toledo, Ohio sent money enough for him to come home and go to school.
 Later he returned to the stage, becoming one of Americas out standing comedians.
 In Ladies Man" Powell and Miss Francis have roles suitable to their talents. The play is a comedy drama. It offers the lead ing characters ample opportunity to appear to great advantage.

The other was a cliff village. Here the ancients had quarried out five tiers of dwellings. There was only one entrance to the place which has not been used for many generations.
 Near where the Mulchatna River enters the Nushagak, Smith point ed out what is said to be the larg- est beaver town in Alaska. It was at least a city block long and higher than the head of tall person, Miss Major said.
 FORMERLY LOCATED HERE
 Miss Major has been connected with the Medical Relief Service in Alaska for six years, starting at Kobuk. She introduced the work at Yakutat, broke up the medicine mans regime and personally es- ccrted the last medicine man of that village to an outgoing steamer.
 After spending year outside in special work on child psychology, Miss Major came to Juneau and was a nurse at the Government hospital for year. She then went to Eklutna, spent two summers on the Yukon River medical boat, a winter at Nulato on emergency duty when she was the only source of medical relief between Panama and St. Michael That was in 1929, and she was taken by plane from Fairbanks to Nulato by Carl Ben Eielson, the last passenger he was ever to carry. From Nulato he went on to Nome and a short time later crashed in the Siberian Arc tic.
 Two years ago she returned to Eklutna where she has remained since, except for the special mis- sion to Bristol Bay and the Nusha- gak River expedition last Spring. RETURNS ON NORTHWESTERN
 Miss Major came here to get three small Indian children, of MT. and Mrs. Frank Mason, who were recently turned over to the Eklutna school. She will leave with them on the steamer Northwestern late this week enroute home.
