that there was a human corps for every mile; and the
people who went to the west over those routes had to
have an endurance and a courage which we today can
hardly even imagine.
So the old trails were marked with bones; and the
landscape painters saw them, and a bleaching skull on
an empty plain, beside a shallow wheel trace, was the
sign of the open places-a sign that the overpowering
beauty OF the American west had covered heart break
and hunger and tragedy.
And now? The western roads are as safe and as
pleasant to travel as those of the east. The motorist
gees from Kansas City to Albuquerque, from Omaha to
San Francisco, without paying even a moderate discom-
fort for the joys Of his trip. Where people died of starva-
ton and thirst or went under the scalping knives of
the Indians less than a lifetime ago he rolls along in
easy freedom, worried only by the possibility that the
rest camp where he will spend the night may not have
hot water showers in its bath house.
That represents the outlines OF a stupendous conquest.
Perhaps we are still too close to it to appreciate it fully
1t is only when we read of something like this substitu-
ton Of abandoned flivvers for white skeletons that we
just how great the change has been.

Uncle Sam a 'SlOWpOke'

Although it now leads the world in the production Of
commercial aircraft and the number of miles being flown
annually by it's citizens, America has become a "slowpoke"
in the development of aircraft, according to AL Williams,
American speed flier, writing in a current magazine.
Williams, a former naval officer, sees the problem as
one of military rather than commercial significance. The
speedy plane has the advantage in aerial combat. While
America brags of speeds of 1876 and 200 miles an hour, he
says, Great Britain places an order for 200 ships which
must do 240 miles an hour.
Another war looks a long way off and Williams COM
plant will go unheeded. That is the history of American
unpreparedness and there is no reason to believe it will
be materially different in the future. But war seemed
just as remote when the clouds broke in 1914 and it is
undisputed that considerable American blood was shed
on the altar OF patriotism because this nation was unpre-
pared.
Mr.. Williams doubtless paints his picture in overdrab
colors, but even SO, it does us no harm to look at it.

Skulls by The Roadside

No landscape artist ever did a picture of the great
plains OF the old west without putting somewhere in the
foreground the bleaching skull of some long-dead steer
or horse. Those white bones were typical. The early
trails were marked by them as by guide-posts. The
advance OF man into the arid plains was marked by the
skeletons Of domestic animals that fell dead by the
wayside.
The old days are very far off. now: still, it is a triflc
Jarring to read in the current Harper's Bazaar that
the rusted and battered skeletons Of abandoned flivvers
have replaced the white bones Of dead animals beside
the western trails. Yet that is just what a writer for
this magazine asserts.
Old skulls are few and far between now, he says. But
broken tenders. worn-out tires and decrepit auto bodies
are there In their stead. Now, as always. the American
leaves a litter when he travels; but It is a different kind
OF litter now, and the junked flivver rather than the
steers head Is the emblem Of the roads Of the far west.
Sharp contrasts are what give life its color, and this
contrast Is sharp enough for anyone. For those old
western trails were not marked by bleaching bones for
nothing; and the horses and cattle were not the only
ones who left their ~skeletons by the roadside. The far
wet was won only through infinite daring and infinite
suffering.
The Santa Re trail, the Oregon trail, the Overland
route to California. past Great Salt Lake and over the
empty plains Of Nevada, were dreadful roads in the old

Aids for the Golfer

The United States Government has issued patents on a
series Of inventions guaranteed-by the inventor-to make
it impossible for a golfer to lose his ball.
The inventor has perfected several simple devices. One
OF the most ingenious is a pail Of strong-smelling liquid,
which is placed at the tee. The golfer dips his ball in the
odoriferous compound, tees up, whales away and then
follows his nose.
To provide for persons suffering from hay-fever or
otherwise incapacitated in the matter of smelling, the
inventor has arranged odors similar to the musks of
certain animals. The golfer then takes a dog on his
round and the dog trails the ball in the delusion that it's
game.
For those golfers who can't smell and have no dog. the
inventor has another dodge. At each tee is a pail of
quick-drying liquid composed of materials that make up
the "spit-devils' used by small boys on the Fourth of
July. This is the stuff you drop on the sidewalk and set
OFT by scraping your shoe across it. The result is much
cracking and splitting. Put it on a golf ball, hit the ball
and there will be an excellent trail Of small explosive
noises to follow.
For those persons who can't smell, have no dog and are
deaf, the inventor provides an ammonia solution into
which the golf ball is dipped. If the ball lands in the
rough, the moisture at the roots of the grass causes the
ammonia to vaporize, with the result that a small column
OF vapor, easily seen by any except a blind golfer. is
formed. No provision has been made for blind persons
on the theory that they shouldn't play golf.

The Oath of Innocence

New Yors's troubles with its crooked judges are, of
course. New Yorks own concern, and they don't affect
the rest of lis very greatly: but there is, nevertheless, no
reason why we provincias should not get a quiet c!1uckle
over Mayor Walkers recent action in calling on his city,s
magistrates to take solemn oath that they did not buy
their offices.
AS a gesture, it probably will do a certain amount of
good. Surely it can do no harm; and that, to a harassed
mayor like Mr.. Walker, must be something. But there
is something humorous in it, just the same. Imagine a
man who has paid $4,000 to some crooked politician for
a ~judgeship being so conscience stricken that he would
fear to swear that he had not done sol

Should Find Way to Pave
cargo FOruul)

Pavement of United States highway No. 10, advocated
locally and by the Cass county board of commissioners,
accepted by the highway commission as a project calling
for early consideration, will face the opposition of county
commissioners throughout the state. In their conven-
ton at Dickinson during the week they went on record
demanding that all of the federal aid system of high
ways be graveled before any pavement'is taken on.
This is a condition long foreseen by the state officials
in charge of highway work, for any money expended In
pavement must of necessity reduce the amount Of work
done elsewhere. Naturally they are not surprised that
the county commissioners, with whom the highway COM
mission deals directly in highway construction, declared
themselves as an association opposed to initiation Of
paving projects.
Yet, even in the face Of this opposition, we believe
that ways and means can be found to put the No. 10
paving program into operation.

Gas Tax Meets Opposition

Campaigns against increased gasoline taxes are being
waged in 20 states, according to a survey by the Gasoline
Retailer, a trade magazine devoted to the interests of one
branch of the petroleum industry.
Although intended primarily to discourage further taxa
ton Of an industry in which subscribers to the magazine
are interested, a survey disclosed some curious facts.
Among these was a tendency toward gasoline bootleg
ging" in those states where the tax now is highest. 1t
also is asserted that tourists are beginning to avoid states
IN which the tax is high.
All of which throws some light on the battle now in
prospect in the North Dakota legislature-if and when
the bill to increase the gasoline tax levy appears-but not
a great deal. After all, it is not so easy for a dealer to
cvade the law providing for the tax, and the amount of
tax collected from tourists is negligible as compared with
the number Of dollars paid by citizens of the state.
Probably most important of all, in the forthcoming
effort to raise the gasoline tax and the fight against it,
will be the use to which the increased revenue will be put.
Good roads have been a fetish in recent years and in
a state such as North Dakota they are a necessity. What
crimes have been committed against the people under the
charitable mantle of the good roads movement one can
only suspect, but there are signs that people arc becoming
suspicious.
North Dakota voters have supported the gasoline tax
and other so-called good-roads measures. knowing they
would be beneficial if they worked out as promised. The
trouble has been that the gasoline tax pudding has
looked better than it has tasted.
1t is not difficult to find out how much was collected,
and the voters know the aggregate runs into millions Of
dollars. 1t is not so easy, however. to see how or where
the money has been expended and what benefit has been
derived from it. Fine phrases and glib promises do not
build good roads. No one knows this fact better than
those North Dakotans who are and have been paying a
gasoline tax and who are still stuck in the mud.
Proof that this spirit was abroad in the state was
offered at the election last spring. Broadly, Of course
the vote against the initiated measure was interpreted as
one against going further with the gasoline tax principle.
There was a reason for this, however, and it may be
found in the rather deep-seated belief that the people
are not getting quite what they have been paying for.
Whether this feeling is justified remains to be seen,
but it is steadily becoming more apparent that North
Dakota would welcome a Moses to lead it out of the
labyrinth into which this states highway program has
wandered.

A. Roger Lowell Putnam, trustee
of Lowell Observatory, says that the
name Pluto TO- the new planet was
selected after q large number Of sug-
gested names had been narrowed
down to three-Minerva, Pluto, and
Cronus. Mr.. Putnam said the vari-
GUS scientists interested felt that the
line of Roman gods for whom other
planets are named, should not be
broken. The name Pluto is symbolic
of the dark and distant regions
through which the planet travels in
its orbit about the sun.

The Dominance of Politics

(Valley City T1meS-RecOrd)
The question Of reapportionment of the state is now
before our legislative body and the leaguers want an
east and west division that simply means that every
league county is placed in the west division which would
insure a Nonpartisan congressman in that end OF the
state. The Independents want a north and south divt-
sion continuing their supremacy for political reasons.
also. So there you are. If there is any division at all
and it is possible there will be none-it will be on the
north and south proposition, because the legislature Is
controlled by the Independent faction and the governor
Is of the same mind, so there Is not much chance Of an
east and west division. As regards reapportionment Of
the legislative districts that seems to be remote at this
time. Cass county is mostly interested In revision to
give them the representation that they are entitled to
on account Of population. but we understand that Cas-
county Is content to let well enough alone and does not
want to juggle with the reapportionment at this time as
it might endanger political supremacy for the %1ndepend-
ents-you see most Of this important legislation that
one hears about is surrounded solely and purely from
political motives more than 1t is for the good OF the peo-
pie Of the state-and just so long as politics run the
business Of the country and the government Of states,
Just so long will legislation be made to accord with
political viewpoints Of those In power. This is being
done in Washington and II is done everywhere. Politics
govern our whole economic structure.

SOME DIFFERENT TYPES or
RHEUMATISM

RHEUMATISM
Stills disease is the name for q
form of rheumatism which affects
children from three to six years OF
age. It seldom appears in nursing
babies. The joints become swollen,
sore to the touch, and have q very
limited movement. The Emphatic
glands all ever the body become
larged and there is excessive sweat
ing accompanied by q moderate tenn
perature. This may become very
dangerous unless great care is taken
to avoid adhesions and fixation Of
the joints. Once the disease has sub
sided It Is sometimes possible to loos-
en- the adhesions by manipulative
treatment.
Acute rheumatic fever is most COM
mon between the ages Of seven and
twenty-five. The younger the child
the more the heart is apt to be af-
fected. The more mature the patient,
the more likely that the joints will be
attacked. This disease never appears
before the age of two, and this should
furnish some clue as to the cause of
the trouble. It can be seer that this
type of disorder occurs at the ages
when the eating habits are being
formulated. If the tonsils are re-
moved, there is a lessened tendency to
complication of the heart and joints,
but not a lessened tendency toward
chorea. Sometimes this disease may
be present in mild form with the
symptoms so slight as to escape at
tention and is only recognized In chill
dren who have sore threats accom-
panied by growing pains. Neverthe-
less, the condition may develop into
either valyular leakage Of the heart
or chorea, rarely both. In adults the
attack usually comes on suddenly
with sharp pains in n or more
joints. When several joints are af-
fected 1t is usually in q symmetrical
arrangement, with similar joints on
the opposite sides Of the body being
affected at the same time. There Is
some fever accompanied by a flushed
face and perspiration with a very sour
smell. Death may occur with an ex-
treme rise of temperature unless the
patient is given cold sponges. The
heart Is nearly always damaged.
Muscular rheumatism nearly al
ways comes on after exposure to cold
or muscular strain, but the system
must first be saturated with rheuma-
tic toxins. This trouble occurs prin-
cipally in the voluntary muscles and
may be evidenced by such forms as
lumbago and t~ofticolliS. The pain
becomes very much more severe with
any movement of the affected mus
Cles. .
Arthritis is probably caused by the
same toxins as other forms Of rheu-
matism. This trouble is often brought
on by an injury Of the bone or q
sprain when the toxins are already
present in the system. The acute
type Of arthritis occurs most often
between the ages of twenty to forty,
and in women more often than men.
This is because women are more apt
to suffer from intestinal poisoning
than men because as q class they use

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
GORDON'S BIRTH

On Jan. 20, 1888, Charles Gordon,
an English soldier, Familiarity known
as Chinese Gordon" and Gordon
Pasha," was born In Woolwich, the
son of an army officer.
Graduating from the Royal Mill
tary Academy at Woolwich at the age
Of Is, Gordon was commissioned a
lieutenant four years later. He served
in the Crimean war with distinction,
being wounded at Sebastopol. Later
he entered the Chinese service and
assisted in ~suppressing the TAPPING
rebellion, whence his sobriquet of
Chinese Gordon"
In 1874, Gordon took command Of
the forces to follow Bakers African
explorations, during which time he
totally suppressed the slave traffic
on the Red sea.
Just 10 years later he went to the
Sudan, in lower Egypt, as an ennis
sary of England, to quiet the insur-
gent tribes. His memorable journey
to Khartum, with one or two attend
ants and the influence which his
presence exercised over the tribes of
ne desert, form one of the most
thrilling episodes in his career. He
was killed when . tribe leader cap
tured Khartum.

A $4,000 600 State Capitol
Devils Lake JOurnaD

IDeVIIS Lake JOuTTaD
The state affairs committee Of the North Dakota house
Of representatives, in its report Saturday, recommended
the erection of a state house costing approximately
ST. 900.
This might appear to be an enormous figure to many
people of the state. Yet it is not enormous, when we
take into consideration the fact that this is still a young
state, and that the legislature today must build for the
future.
Two million dollars probably will finance the con-
struction of the finest building in North Dakota, and the
natural conclusion is, why should the state capitol not
be the finest structure in the state?
Such a building symbolizes the faith which the people
have in their state, and the good North Dakotan who
has prospered here has plenty of faith in North Da-
kota. At least, he should have.

Nevertheless men arc using more perfumes and cosmetics
