SUING maps showing the state Of business in various parts
OF the nation and listing the cities where activity IS at q
relatively high peak. The idea, Of course, is to help per-
sons or Trims with products to sell to concentrate their ef-
forts where the prospect Of reward is best.
1t Is with peculiar satisfaction, therefore, that Bis
marck notes the prominence given it on a map recently
published by one Of the nations leading economists.
North Dakotas capital city, along with Dickinson, was
one OF the SIX places listed in which business conditions
were asserted to be relatively good.
Men who keep in close touch with conditions through
out the country assert that the Northwest Is In better
shape today than most other parts Of America; that bus
mess never has fallen to as low a depth as most other
sections have experienced. We may not have risen so
nlsn In flush times, but then no section dependent wholly
on the welfare OF agriculture did. The fact that we have
the modern commercial pace better than some
other cities is both comforting and enlightenine, It
makes US more than ever proud Of Bismarck.

$4,000 Bales

Restoration OF traffic on our inland waterways means
an entirely different situation from that which prevailed
in the palmy days when the Robert E. Lee, the Natchez,
the ]. M. White and Grand Republic were queens of our
rivers.
Information dug out Of the musty archives discloses
that the Robert E. Lee once carried a maximum load OF
5000 bales Of cotton; the J. M. White once carried 5000
and the Grand Republic 1000, but the record is held by
the Henry Frank, a long, rakish stern-wheeler which once
steamed into New Orleans with s,22e bales Of cotton on
board. in addition to other freight and passengers.
But the ancient system is gone. The palatial steamers
of other days have been replaced by barges and towboats.
And one of these modern tows can carry as much as
60, 600 bales of cotton.
That is as much as a good many trainloads.

PROMISE TO JEWS
On May II, 1917, a deputation from
the Rumanian Jews in Jassy called
on King Ferdinand to present to him
the assurance Of their loyalty. They
took this action because of rumors
which connected them with pro-
German intrigue.
King Ferdinand told the deputation
in reply.
After having been long in close
touch with the daily life Of all classes
OF people in the country, I formed
the conviction-and I am pleased to
Dear testimony to the fact in the
present circumstances that I was not
mistaken-that al inhabitants of Ru-
manian soil, irrespective of differ
ences OF origin, Of race, or of religion,
were actuated by the same exalted
ideas Of fraternity.
All who have Striven for the real
ization OF the aspirations which Ru-
manians have entertained for so
many ages, by shedding their blood,
by enduring the difficulties of and
imposed by the war and
invasion, whether they are Christians
or Jews or adherents of any other
form Of belief, will equally have a
right to the gratitude Of the country
and to that Of the king, and will en-
Joy equal rights in a free, great, and
flourishing Rumania, closely united,
all OF US, under the folds of the ma
tional flag"

Wild Talk Uncalled for

There Is a danger that the true facts of the "bus pro-
olem' will become obscured by exaggerated statements
and %prejudiced charges.
Both the critics and supporters of the bus have been
guilty OF absurdities that tend to confuse the public
mind. This can do no one good. least Of all the travelling
public whose interest is the principal factor In the eoua-
ton.
In conjunction with other forms of transportation. the
BUS Is supplying a service that is Of value to millions of
americans seeking fast, economical and safe transport.
The main problem Is how to adjust bus service to railroad
service SO that both industries may prosper and serve the
public without waste and unnecessary duplication of facil-
tiles. And it is noteworthy that the more progressive bus
and rail executives are now working to this end. Each
has its advantages for certain classes of traffic and should
have a common objective-to cooperate In serving the
public as best 1t can. |

The New HeQira

When Horace Greeley uttered the historic advice to
"go west, young man" it was considered sound and the
events of the last half-century have proved it SO.
It would be interesting to know, however. whence comes
the advice which sends Americans of both the East and
West northward each year as the Canadian government
tells us they come.
Data recently compiled by the Canadian government In
formation bureau show that a total Of 5.4oo,4 motor
cars conveying tourists entered Canada from the United
States in 1880, or 900,649 more than in 1929. OF the total
4,110,100 came for a stay Of not more than "a hours;
1,2o7,03o for a period not exceeding so days, and 2,32s
for not more than six months. The province OF Ontario
had the most visitors. for 4,164y603 cars were admitted,
principally at Windsor, Bridgeburg and Niagara Falls.

HOW TO STRAIGHTEN THE
SHOULDERS
- y FL: kse coy

Modern occupations often require a
position for the body which brings
the shoulders forward. Bending over
a desk, ditch digging, ploughing, car
pentry, all call for too much leaning
forward. Probably the one person
who suffers more from round should

All her work pulls her forward. While
everyone can benefit from straighten1

Office worker, and the student prob
ably need 1t the most.
When round shoulder exist, the
front muscles are really stronger than
the back muscles and pull the should

erS 1t is necessary to strengthen the
back muscles until these pull the
shoulders back into position. Little
good Is accomplished by trying to cor
rect round shoulders by throwing the
shoulders back while standing, as
such exercise Is too easy and does not
contract the back muscles vigorously
enough. Instead, it will be much
more helpful to take those exercises
where the arms and legs are raised
backwards while lying face downward
on the floor. In a few weeks O will
be pleasantly surprised to find the
shoulders staying back in good posi-
ton when the muscles have regained
the necessary strength.
The exercises which raise the arms
and strengthen the back will help the
shoulders. Swimming, golfing. swing
Ing dumb-bells and the elastic exer-
cisers are all good for the shoulders.
It Is also helpful to hang by the arms
to stretch the spine.

back to normal than to correct many 1

"A Worthwhile Saving

Among the various propaganda movements being car
ried on by branches Of the federal government or organ.
izations connected with it is one which seems designed
to encourage states to adopt automobile drivers examina.
ton and license laws.
1t is sponsored by the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety of which Hon. Robert P. Lamont
secretary of commerce, is chairman, and has consisted
OF a series Of statements by leading officials and traffic
authorities. Commenting on these press releases the
conference says they are intended to set forth 1.-The reasons
for and the purposes of the license law with mandatory
examination and test for prospective drivers of motor
vehicles. The statements describe also the application
and effect of the law in the states where it is in OPERA
ton now. Figures and statistics are given also for states
with and without the law which indicate the trends in
traffic fatalities for the ten-year period of 1920-1929 for
states with the examination and test as compared with
states without it."
The figures offered are interesting. They show that.
during the last two years, motor accidents have claimed
the life OF one person in each 1893 in the country and
one in each 1913 has suffered injury.
Combating this situation, states with drivers examina-
ton and license laws have experienced a reduction of Is
to 80 per cent in traffic fatalities as compared with their
experience before the new system became effective. On
this basis, these states are saving the lives OF seven persons
in each 100J 900 Of population and are preventing the in
jury Of 236 in each 100000. If all states were to adopt
such regulations and the experience held true the result
would be a saving Of $3.50 lives and prevention Of 5000
traffic injuries annually, according to data compiled by
the conference.
To adopt such a law in North Dakota might re-
suit in some unforeseen complications and, unless proper
ly managed, might cause additional expense. There
can be no question, however, that such a saving in life
and in the accident toll is worth considering.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Walking In TubercuIosis

Question: M. G.. p. writes: "Your
advice has been the first to aid me in
combating pulmonary tuberculosis,
end now after having been in bed two
years I am about to begin my walks
in my cure. What is the best time,
mornings OF afternoons, and how far
should walk to start with?"
Answer: I am pleased to know
that you have had such splendid re-
suits from following my instructions
in tuberculosis. If you have been in
bed for two years I would advise you
to start the walking exercise very
gradually and increase the distance
a little each day. You should not
walk far enough to tire yourself at
any time. The best time to take the
walks is in the middle of the fore
roon and in the middle of the after
noon. If you have no temperature at
these times.

They Nav Come Down

The wit who remarked that "Ml CONGRATULATIONS ar
false. including this one" may have had in mind tn,
ancient declaration that taxes may go up but they neves
come down" for it seems likely that progress is beinf
made In the effort to change the taxation trend which
mas been developing in recent years.
For everywhere in America there Is an urge for revision
OF the taxing system and a change in the taxing laws
Generally speaking the people of the nation have beer
looking to the state and federal government to reduce
their tax bills when the fact of the matter Is that the
majority OF the tax money Is spent at home. To most OF
us the efficiency and economy with which our local forms
OF government operate are a good deal more important
than the conduct Of the larger political sub divisions.
IN Minnesota, parts OF North Dakota and elsewhere
throughout the nation, township taxes have been reduced
this year. Counties, feeling the pressure of popular un-
rest at a heavy tax burden are expected to follow suit
and cities most surely will swing into line when the ures-
sure becomes strong enough.
A survey by the Rawleigh foundation, which interests
itself in such matters, discloses that q of the 43 governors
VINO sent messages to state legislatures this year, stressed
the tax situation and the need for relief from what were
described as excessive, confiscatoy and destructive
burdens"
In q recent study economists for the foundation found
tnat IN many states the general tax is taking practically
one-third Of the farmers total cash income and that
small property owners are forced to carry an "insuper-
able burden" IN direct and indirect taxation.
The conclusion was drawn from these finds that agri-
culture has gone far afield in looking to Washington for
soiuuon OF It's economic problem, which the economists
asserted could probably be found nearer at home in the
intelligent consideration of tax laws and in the more
equitable distribution of their burdens.
The average individual will have trouble in picking a
quarrel with that idea. Back in the days when Billy Sum
day was shepherding the new-found faithful down the
saw-dust trail, the old-time song of Brighten the Corner
Where You Are" was both effective and popular. 1t got
over to the recacitrant sinner that salvation was, after
all, a personal matter. Taxes should be that way. too.
If the American public will assume definite and direct
responsibility for solution of its tax problems, the answer
Is on the way and it will come in a hurry.
If the public waits for a taxing Moses to lead IT. from
the wilderness Of heavy imposts, conditions will be un-
changed. We shall continue to have officials of each of
our numerous branches of government talking of the need
for economy and tax reduction-in every field except
their own.

 Here's How!
 Holiday Pumpkin Tarts: Mix one cup brown sugar, a few grains of salt, two teaspoons cinnamon. one-half teaspoon nutmeg, one- half teaspoon ginger and add one cup canned pumpkin. Next add two beaten eggs and two cups evaporated milk and pour into tart tins lined with pastry. Bake like any custard pie, having oven hot at first and then moderate. Makes fifteen to twenty tarts.
 Pumpkin and Marmalade Tarts: Mix together two cups canned pumpkin, one and one-eighth cups sugar. one teaspoon salt, one and one-half teaspoons ginger, one tea spoon cinnamon and add three
