LBOPO TRACK GREATLY IMPROVED TO. OPEN TUESDAY,
GOLF
By CHESTER HORTON

Power in the golf swing must
always be in the club. No
amount of jumping or slashing
with your body, arms and so
on will ever give it to you.
Throwing the wrists in" is
something to read about. but
never a thing to do. It means
mostly the clubhead throwing
itself-or merely swinging with.

Get Busy, Cupid

Perhaps young people are less romantic than they
used to be. Possibly 1t is harder to persuade a girl TO
give up her independence (and her pay check to SCRUB
the floors and mend the socks for the lone and only
man." Or maybe young men are becoming very wary
and more adept at lodging Dan Cupids darts. It's even
probable that Cupid needs a bit Of sharpshooting prac-
tice.
Certain it is, from one cause or another, things at
the marriage license bureau are in a bad way. How, we
wish to ask, is a license clerk to earn an honest living
and what, indeed, are ministers to do. If this ~contlnues9

Navigation Opens on the River
minneapolis Tribune)


With the arrival iii Minneapolis Friday OF. the fiTst
barge tow from st. Louis for the season of 1881 the sea-
son OF navigation is opened on the Mississippi river.
It is worthy of note that the season opens with the
river at low stage and that little trouble is experienced
in operating up river freight-carryiny barges OF triple
the capacity Of those first used in the service. It IS also
interesting to know that the operating company last year
showed a net profit Of $4,000 where operating Losses have
been chalked up in previous seasons. -.
Service Is nov being given With limited fachltaes. Inere
are channel obstacles to be overcome, warehousins facn-
tiles to be established and new ports to be added TO the
system Of river transportation. Between st. Louis and
Minneapolis there are only three points where barges
may be picked up or set apart from lows.
In It's present aspect river transportation bears some
thing Of the general appearance of a pioneer railroad line

trackage. o..
The merchandise cargo coming up the river today from

Red Ink in Peace, but Black in War Tim
minneapolis JournaD

(MlnNeapOllS JOuTNaD
It seems fair to conclude, from President HOoverS
characterization of the Virgin island as IAN effective
poorhouse," that this Is million dollar purchase from
Denmark should be charged off as another debit OF the
World war. But unlike those other debits-fleets OF
wooden ships, q lot of obsolescent and obsolete warshlps,
and other p~erishahle items-the Virgin islands may COM
prise a credit Of defense, to balance against the debit OF
peace tina. They were a credit when we bought them
potentially, at least; or rather, they were a potential
menace, as it was feared Germany might get them and
make them a threat In the shape Of a naval base In
the Caribbean.
How important the Virgin islands were and may be
again, should be apparent to any student OF the map
who will look at it strategically in terms Of war. They
are a Panama Canal outpost now, these islands, perhaps
to be rated some day at many millions higher IN value
than the sum we paid for them. Whatever salvage we
may get, il any, can be credited as would be the in
come, If any, from Muscle shoals-nerely q reduction
in a war debit which seemed a potential war asset in
its time, no matter what its status Is today. Assuredly
the president could give no thought to Sinking the prob
lem we have bought, by abandoning as ~contemporane.
ously Improbable a defensive potentially IN time OF
war. That is something that nations cannot do, IN thia
era of world relationship.

Whose Attorney General?
New York World-Teleoram)

TNeW XUTK WOrIU. 1eeBTHM0
Attorney General Mitchell may be long on law, but he
is short on good taste. He proposes to throw the depart
ment of justice into the Hoover-senate court fight over
the appointment of George Otis Smith as chairman Of
the federal power commission. The president refused to
recognize the senate's withdrawal Of confirmation Of
Smiths appointment.
Mitchell is shrewd enough as a lawyer to admit that
"tae ~propriety of having another official OF the depart
ment appear as attorney of record for the defendant Is
open to question" He further admits that there is also
a technical question as to the statutory authority of the
attorney general to appear as attorney for a federal Of
fetal in such litigation"
Having admitted that he is probably barred from the
case both by ~propriety and by statute, it might be sup
posed that Mitchell would keep hands off. Instead he
means to use department of justice lawyers to defend
Smith in the capacity of friends Of the court"
In that capacity, he adds, they will be in a position
to, and intend to support the validity Of the appoint
ment as vigorously as they know how"
Mitchell seems to forget that he Is the sworn and paid
attorney general of the United Statesmen the attorney
general of the president.

CONGRATULATIONS

To all successful candidates In the city election, with
out exception, The Tribune offers congratulations and
best wishes on behalf of the entire community.
Upon them will fall at least a part Of the obligation OF
making Bismarck a clean, wel-ordered city In which
commerce and industry may be promoted and encouraged:
In which living conditions, insofar as they are affected by
local government, are desirable, and in which the resi-
dents Of the cornmunity may take pride.
But they face a privilege and an opportunity as well
as a duty. Under their guidance and with their help the
city may grow to new heights, achieve new successes,
win new friends.
If they do as every citizen will want them to do, theirs
will be the pleasure of encouraging all that is good and
beneficial for the city and discouraging all that is bad
and harmful.
And now that the election is over every citizen, regard
less of whether he supported the successful candidates,
will wish them well. He will do so for his own sake ana
that of the city as well as for their own.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
AUSTRIA'S BREAK

On April 8. 1917, the government
of Austria Hungary severed diplo-
matte relations with the government
Of the United States.
AS soon as the announcement of
the break was received by the adj
ministration, orders were given for
taking possession Of the Austrian
merchant vessels that had been self
interned in this country.
Here is an excerpt Of the note
handed to the American charge
d'affaires at Vienna in the absence Of
Ambassador Penfield, who had left
for America a few days previously:
"Since the United States of Amer
lea has declared that a state Of war
exists between it. and the Imperial
German government, Austria Hun
gary, AZ an ally of the German En-
pire, has decided to break off diplo-
matte relations with the United
States, and the Imperial and Royal
Embassy at Washington has been in
structed to inform the Department Of
State to that effect"

Will Cure Its Own Ills

Charles M. Schwab, steel magnate and one of the ma
lions great industrial giants, believes science and the
machine age, often blamed for unemployment. will cure
its own ills. He believes it will create more jobs. reduce
laborious toll and ultimately will solve the age-old prob
lem of want and unemployment.
Writing in the Rotarian magazine for April, he asserts
that slavery was fundamentally a labor problem. and 1t
was mechanical power developed by science that made

as science develops the possibilities OF electrical and
mechanical power.

laboratories than the ommon laborer -. Cranes and
other automatic devices have replaced heavy lifting by
human power. Ventilating and blower systems have
mitigated the intense heat. Ample lighting and safety
devices have made for healthier and safer working con-
ditions. Industrial accidents have declined steadily IN
the past decade !. ..r"~ c
Wages have more than doubled within the memory Of
people living, Schwab asserts. and still are at levels con-
~siderably ahead of the increased cost Of living. He cites
automobiles and electric lights as two notable "luxurles'
that science, aided by large-scale production, mas put
within the price range of the worker.
Looking to the future" he continues. Il see IN the
further acceleration Of science continuous Job. for our
workers. Science will cure unemployment. New indu-

of progress.

BowLEGs AND KNOCK-KNEEs

B0WLEGS AND KNOCK KNEES
Bow legs are not caused by letting
the baby walk too soon, nor are
knock-knees caused because the
baby's grandfather had knock-knees.
These troubles are practically always
brought on because the diet Of the
growing baby or child Is lacking in
bone forming elements. An adequate
diet is the best preventive Of either
bowlegs or knock-knees. Infants with
a tendency to ricketts, are especially
likely to develop these troubles. This
disorder need never develop II the
baby has sunlight and a good diet.
There are some changes taking
place in the bone growth up to about
the age Of thirty, and 1t Is often pos
sible to correct these deformities to
some extent up to that age. The
younger the person the better the
chance Of correction.
Many people think they have de-
formities Of the legs when the only
trouble is that certain muscles Of the
calf or thigh are not sufficiently de-
veloped to give q proper curve to the
leg. It is nearly always possible. to
improve the appearance Of the legs
by the persistent use Of leg and foot
exercises to develop the defective
muscles.
Women having wider hips than
men are more inclined to knock knees
and men are more inclined to bow
legs. "A slight bow is normal in the
baby's legs and need occasion M
alarm unless the bow is excessive.
Gentle manipulations for straighten-
ing an infants limbs will often bring
good results because the bones have
not yet hardened. After eighteen
months the bones are more solid and
this treatment is not as effective.
An adult may often improve the
appearance of the legs through using
such exercises as the deep knee bend
and alternately rising IN the toes and
heels. These exercises are good for
both bowlegs and knock-knees. For
bow legs, these exercises should be
followed by this exercise: Stand
erect with the heels separated by an
upright book about one inch in
thickness. Point the toes outward
about As degrees from, each other.
Now strain the muscles Of the legs to
pull the knees together without NOV
ing the feet. You can help touch the
knees by pressing inwardly with the
hands on the outside of the limbs.
Now relax, and repeat the exercise
about twenty times ono, or twice a
day. For knock-knees, first use the
deep knee bend then the toe and
heel exercises, to be followed by this
special exercise: Sit on the floor and
fasten the feet together with a cord.
Now straighten out the legs and try
to tense the muscles to separate the
knees. You may help this with the
