A Field for State Cooperation
minneapolis Tribune

(MlnOedpOlLS lTlDuOe)
FOrty-fOur state legislatures will convene this year
and will grind out hundreds of new statutes, many Of
them of a definitely conflicting nature.
For example, it is quite possible that when the legis-
latures of Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho
and Washington adjourn they will have passed laws
governing the operation of automobiles which are radi-
cally different if not openly contradictory in many res
poets. The motor car driver starting a trip from Min
neapolis to Seattle, which can be made easily in 10 days
will be required to operate his car under the provisions
Of five different codes. with a great deal of resulting
confusion.
It was inevitable that there should be a wide diversity
Of legislation under a federal system comforting on AZ
different states the right to make their own laws. The
wisdom of bringing about some greater degree of statute
uniformity, however, is becoming increasingly apparent
Experience is showing that uniform laws in certain fields
are the only alternative to federal laws taking the place
of those in the states and having the effect Of further
~burdening the federal government with bureaus dis
charging business that, might as efficiently be taken
care Of by the states.
There is now a very loose lason existing between
state legislatures for the exchange of ideas and the COM
parison of regulations contemplated in proposed new
laws. This relationship can be ~profitably strengthened
There are very great possibilities for good in such uni
form law conferences as are beginning to receive at
tention in the legislatures of several western states.

What Airplanes Can Do

Spectacular aviation stunts are relatively common; but
few have been more spectacular and at the same. time
more useful than the recent flight of 10 Italian ~seaplanes
across the South Atlantic.
The mere thought of these 10 planes soaring over the
ocean together is enough to make ones heart beat a
little faster. That take-off, in the dark, must have been
a thing to remember forever; and the landing on the
other side of the ocean. must have been even more splen-
did to see.
But the implications of the flight are more important
than it's spectacular side. Here we have a solid demon
stration of the airplanes reliability. Twelve planes set
out to cross the sea together; 10 of them make the trip
with engine trouble stopping the other two. It will be
a long time before aviation furnishes a more impressive
indication of its potentialities.

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
MAURY'S BIRTH

On Jan. IA, 1906, Mathew Maury
an American naval officer who was
the first to give a complete descrip-
ton Of the Gulf Stream and to mark
out specific routes to be followed in
crossing the Atlantic was born in
Spottsylvania county, Virginia.
When 10 he was appointed q mid
shipman in the navy and a year later
was made an officer on the Vincennes
curing her voyage around the world.
Crippled for life by f~racturing his leg
in 1889. Maury vas appointed to the
Naval Observatory and photographic
office in Washington. There he pre-
pared works that proved Of great
benefit to navigatorS.
At the outbreak Of the Civil war
he offered his services to the Confed-
eracy, and was sent on q mission to
Europe, where he remained until the
conclusion Of peace. He then went to
Mexico and was appointed emigration
commissioner by Emperor Macmillan.
Upon the overthrow Of the imperial
regime Maury returned to the United
States and became professor of ply
sizes at Virginia Military Institute.

deemable by the treasury in SUBJ
scription to a loan at the rate of 500

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mental Poisoning
Question: w. L. j. asks: Us there
such a thing as mental poison? If
SO. will you explain the process from
the brain to the nervous system?"
Answer: There is no doubt that
destructive emotions. such as worry,
anger, fear and anxiety will produce
poisonous substances within the blood.
I have written numerous articles
dealing with the value Of a mental
calmness for maintaining health. It
is believed that the ductless glands
are active in the formation of some
Of these toxic substances. There is yet
room for much scientific investiga-
ton about mental poisons."
Eggs
Question: B. M. writes: II wish
you would write something about
eggs-whether they should be used
only when strictly fresh, or not at all.
This subject is a continued bone of
contention in our home. Dad seems
to think that store eggs are all right,
while I emphatically do not"
Answer: Eggs should be as fresh
as possible. although in cold storage
eggs may be preserved in good con-
dition for a long time. During the
cold weather store eggs may remain
In a wholesome condition much long
er than in summer. Any bad odor or
unusual appearance of the egg should
cause it to be discarded.
Plants in Sick Room
Question: Reader asks: Twill you
please tell me if house plants are in
any way injurious to a sick persona"
Answer: Most green leaf plants
are not injurious to a sick person;
in fact, during the day they throw off
oxygen and are really beneficial.
However, the odor from some flower
ing plants may be oppressive to the
patient. At night a small amount of
carbon dioxide is thrown from the
leaves of plants, but not enough to
be injurious.

New York CITY Judges

Conditions existing in the municipal courts of New
York City have astounded the nation. The barter Of
seats on the high courts of that city has been open
and arrogant. Investigation of the last few weeks has
been relentless and those most concerned with keeping
the courts clean and above suspicion have been deeply
concerned over the disclosures.
The faint of Tammany politics has reached to the high
est state courts. Judges have been suspended, others
have resigned under fire and there are several who cling
to their jobs in desperate hope of vindication where, in
most instances, there can be no vindication.
Investigators have shown that no special immunity
hedges in a judge. When the first whisper of implica-
ton has been uttered, those charged with this i'm
portant job have left nothing undone to turn the ras-
Gals out.
It was Thomas Jefferson who once said that only two
vital questions need be asked touching the qualifications
of applicants for offices of public trust and they were:
is he honest? Is he %capable?"
These inquiries have looned large in the investigation
OF the New York judiciary situation and the jefferson
ian tests are being applied with a vengeance.

@. Who made the first steel plows
in this country? G. M. B.
A. About 1897 John Newbold dem

similar to cast-iron plows which had
been demonstrated shortly before in
England. Records indicate that
farmers feared detrimental effects
from so much iron in contact with
the soil. and evidently this first
American cast-iron pillow was never
repaired after its moldboard became
broken. The obstinate quality Of the
soil in the Mississippi Valley led to
the use Of steel instead Of iron strips
on the moldboards of plows. John
Deere, 1887, and William Parlin, 1912,
were pioneers in the steel plow busi-
ness of the middle west. Much cred
it is due also to James Oliver who,
beginning hts experiments in 1853,
greatly advanced the process for
chilling cast-iron pillow points.
@. What is the difference between

SOME RULES IN THE CURE OF
TUBERCULOSIS

In the treatment Of tuberculosis 1t
Is we'll to remember that the lungs
act as elininative organs to throw
out poisonous gases. The other three
channels Of elimination for bodily
toxins are the skin, kidneys and
bowels. In order to rest the lungs
from their burden Of acting as an
eliminative organ it is well to in
crease the throwing out Of toxins
through all Of the other %excretory
channels.
Sunbathing and sponge baths help
in aiding skin elimination. A patient
should drink plenty of water to sup
ply the kidneys with plenty OF fluid
for their work. The bowels must be
kept open with enemas If the patient
does not have at least two bowel
movements daily. Energy should not
be wasted spending too many hours
at brainwork or study and thus using
up too much energy through the
mental processes, which energy is
needed in the physical body to digest
and assimilate food or to be used in
taking the necessary physical exer-
else. Vital energy should not be
wasted through outbursts Of temper
or through any Of the other destruc-
tive emotions.
I have found 1t advisable to exclude
milk, starches and sugars from the
diet of the tubercular. Daily sun
baths are especially beneficial when
the bones are affected by tubercu-
losis. Every avenue for the waste OF
nervous energy must be conserved
and the patient must practice various
means for increasing his strength. A
certain amount Of rest. especially
during the afternoon Or when there
Is any rise Of temperature is essen
tial at the beginning Of the cure.
The sleeping quarters should be
where the air is fresh but not cold
enough to be irritating to the delicate
lung tissue, for the virtue of the fresh
air lies in its abundance Of oxygen
and not in its temperature. The pa
tient should not become over-heated.
And 1t Is not good to lie in the sun
for too long so that the body becomes
unduly warm.
The patient should not be dis
couraged because of the loss Of
weight necessary at the beginning Of
the treatment, as a vigorous elimina-
ton of toxins is essential at the start
and the weight will come only when
the disease is overcome and the
building up process begins.
The calisthenic exercises should
consist mostly Of the setting up"
exercises. ALI exercises of the arms
and chest should be avoided. When

From the Death House

Charles Fithian wrote a letter home the other day.
Sitting in the death house at Trenton, New Jersey,
realizing that he is condemned to die although he has
only lived % years, he decided that he would warn his
nine brothers, back home, to walk in straighter, bet
ter ways than he had chosen.
Charles Fithian hadn't written any letters back home
before. Somehow he had been pretty much ashamed
He didn't want to write.
But with the shadows Of the death house deepening
he wrote his letter.
It came through the mail, packed into a bag with other
envelopes which contained insurance policies and con-
tracts and letters in which people talked about their
parties and illnesses and jobs and all the rest. But
it was different. 1t kept to itself in its corner OF the
bag.
1t was going to nine boys who would pass it around
from hand to hand, clear their Threats, maybe wipe
their eyes when no one was looking, or walk down to
the corner store for a paper just to have something to
do. They would keep thinking that this was their
brother who must die. The to,sled- haired youngster
with whom they used to play marbles and ~leap-frog
and lie-low-sheepie.
Brothers never grow up to each other. They think
OF themselves always as belonging to an enchanted world
known as boyhood with the things that they are going
to do when they grow up lurking some place down
the trail.
No boy ever believes that his brother will sit alone in a
death house somewhere, some day. He can't realize that
such tragedy may enter his own life.
There is something exceedingly pathetic about the boy
who has written to the other nine; something reminiscent
OF the parable of the ninety and nine who lay safe in
the sheepfold while the Master searched for the one that
was lost. The mother of the boys viii probably put
that letter away with her sons first shoes and a lock OF
hair. 1t is doubtful, though. If she or her other boys
will look at it very often. They will try to let the
wound close quietly.
Life is so full of tragedies. 1t isn't the one who sins
who bears all the burden. There will be a tenderer spot
in nine hearts because the brother who had erred looked
out of his suffering and sent them a warning.
Tragedy comes often. It drops its buskin on the stage.
Or puts a letter in a mail box.

Spotted Pony and Auto De Luxe

DpOICcu 1 Oly dIlu 6uCO Oc AuAc
Usage Indians the other day presented J. George
Wright, their revered agent, a spotted pony and a $4,000
automobile.
But the Indians, huddled about in their blankets and
surrounded by high powered automobiles and such wealth
as oil royalties make possible for the Usage, felt the
spotted pony took precedence over the white mans de
luxe gasoline buggy.
Tears came to the eyes of stolid Indians as the pony,
the highest token Of their friendship, was presented.
The roaring monarch Of the highway, resplendent in
shining nickel and superstuffed cushions, meant less
than the little pony frisking near the white mans in
vention.
Indian agents are not usually thus honored. Archives
of the government reveal sordid situations in administra-
ton of Indian affairs, but this agent honored by wealthy
Osages had administered some $250. 900, 900 to the COM
plete satisfaction of the redmen.
The spotted pony, not the automobile, showed most
the Indians appreciation.
