The Hone of the World

This city has new cause 10 con-
aratulate itself today in the opening
G Of the annual convention OF the
North Dakota Luther League and
Choral Union, for this event brings
to Bismarck a large number OF young
people typical Of the new generation
which u the hope Of the world.
The convention brings, also. a num-
Der OF distinguished persons to ad-
dress it but they, as we'll as We, will
realize that the really important per-
son at this gathering is the average
boy or girl who is sufficiently inter-
ested in his church and in the ac-
ttvities of his choral society to come
here and seek a wider horizon, new
experiences.
Upon the impression which Bis
marck makes upon them may depend
their opinions Of the Capital City in
the future, so every resident of the
city should make it personal obli-
cation to extend friendly greetings to
these folk. In every way open to us
we should strive to make them feel
the friendliness and personal inter-
est which is an integral part Of the
Bismarck spirit. We want them to
enjoy themselves now and to come
again many times.
It should not be overlooked, either,
that this group offers us real ex-
perience in the way of music. Their
choral presentation, set for next Sum
day afternoon in the World War Me-
mortal building, will be distinctly a
thing worth while and anyone will
do himself favor by attending.
It is not often that we have oppor-
tunity to hear so many voices. prop
erly trained and directed, lifted in
the songs that all Of us know and
which we all love.
These choral unions are, perhaps,
as great a cultural influence as We
have in the state. They direct the
thoughts and ideas Of the young
along constructive, though pleasant,
lines at time when youth not only
feels the need Of companionship and
experiences the creative urge. but a
time when habits Of mind are being
moulded.
II these societies help us to produce

better OF than II this country Is rela-

A Really Exclusive Place
New York, May 20.-New York's
diamond grotto," until recently a
picturesque sidewalk mart remi-
niscent of the old Curb market, now
hides in a barricaded room, highly
melodramatic in its appointments.
When $4,000 worth of baubles flash
casually about in the course of a
morning, the hint of menace might be
expected to penetrate the very walls
And does!
At regular intervals, about a foot
apart, buttons protrude. Were a
careless member of the diamond ex-
change to lean against the wall, a
blast of sirens would be set off suffi-
cient to awaken even policeman.
And the doorman, who peeps
through the heavy metal barrier, is
more particular than even the 'look-
see" men of the $1-per-drink speak
easies.
"The Trade" Talks
Once the metal clamps have Changed
behind. the room becomes a chubby
sort of place. Tables scatter about,
and lunch is served. A cafeteria
counter is available.
The 300 men who set the diamond
prices for the trade" seem far from
dazzled by their profession. There is
little of the high-tonlng to be found,
for instance, in Fifth Avenue gem

Listening in at a ringside table,

likely to reach the United States are
already here; that the Soviet govern

vaders.
1t is with something of a heavy
heart, therefore, that North Dakotans
heard, late Monday, that all chances
Of obtaining a special federal aid bill
at this session of congress have gone
glimmering.
However, all is not yet lost.
Nature may take care of the grass
hoppers again this year, just as she
often has done in the past, and, even
if she doesn't, the industry and en-
ergy of our farmers may find a suit
able substitute.
The county agents office is offer
ing assistance in the prospective fight
and the federal department of agri-
culture has devised methods and at
tachments whereby the work of dis
tributing poison bran may be done
swiftly and economically by an end
gate seeder or a sower for lime and
small grains.
Indications are that we will have
good crops in this area, but the hopes
of the present will come to nothing
If grasshoppers swarm upon us and
devastate the country. The answer is
to make preparations now to combat
them at the proper time.

HAVE A PLACE IN THE SUN

From the -ay Iiost people avoit
the sunlight and contrive to exclude
1t from their dwellings it would seen
that nobody knows that all health
life and energy come from the sun
In recent years it has been the popu'
lar habit to provide something pur'
porting to be sun room when plan
ming new home, but this sun room
too often amounts to a fraud SO fal
as admitting sunlight is concerned
for the ingenious housewife seldom
rests content until she has pretty ef-
fectively covered all the windows with
hangings or shades of one kind or an
other and converted the discouraged
sun room into dowdy place which
would attract gypsy, perhaps, but is
certainly not sun room. Every home
should have all the sunlight there Is
to be had, and every room should be
planned with this object in view. It
is a bad habit, nothing more, exclud-
Ing the question Of sunlight from the
plans and then when the house is
finished, sticking on kind Of enclos-
ed porch as an afterthought and max
ing the silly coop serve as sad ex-
Cuse for q sun room. This combina-
ton coop and sun room horror was
probably some shrewd landlords con-
trivance to convert q veranda into an
additional room In the first place, and
the evil has grown until in some
communities 1t amounts to veritable
pestilence, every house that goes up
having its fake sun room stuck on
somewhere.
There are at least three reasons, all
Of them poor reasons, why people
avoid the sunlight too much. First,
it fades household furnishings and so
many householders think more Of
their furnishings than they do Of their
health. Second. there Is a fear OF
sunstroke. Sunstroke may sometimes
actually happen-I do not deny that
such a thing is possible. but 1t is at
least as rare as human rabies, and very
few people would exclude all dogs from
the community to prevent rabies.
Third, there is widespread belief
that exposure to direct sunlight Is
bad for the complexion. This belief
was formerly confined to the feminine
sex, but many Of our dainty young
sheiks now devote earnest study to
the identifying and protection Of their
compilations and they dodge the sun
light as much as possible.
AS q matter of fact the habit of sun
bathing is very beneficial to the COM
plexion. Sun bathing means simply
exposing the poor old skin, as much
of it as the law allows, to the direct
sunlight. It must be only small
portion Of the skin and for only q few
minutes at time In the beginning,
and very gradually increasing dura-
ton and extent Of exposure from day
to day, in order to prevent sunburn.
The effect of this sun bathing upon
the skin is invariably the same, it
gives the skin a finer texture and
makes 1t smoother and softer to the
touch and clears away many minor
blemishes. OF course kept up for q
sufficient length of 1t also tans the
skin more or less in time.

The Lumber Tariff Grab
minneapolis JournaD

VI the four tariff grabs forced into
the Revenue Bill by skilled log rollers,
by far the most unconscionable is the
proposed duty of three dollars a thou
sand feet on lumber imports.
This lumber tariff. if left in the law,
will imperil the st. Lawrence Seaway,
Will further cut American pay rolls
and will trebly damage American ag-
riculture.
The farmer will suffer under need
lesSly higher lumber prices. The farm
er will suffer through delay or aband-
onment of the Seaway project. The
farmer will suffer through the further
narrowing of the domestic market for
the foodStuffs he produces.
With tariff barriers already erected,
and rightly, against cheap Canadian
farm products. Canada is left with
lumber as the principal exportable
commodity with which she can pay for
goods purchased in the United States.
II We now bar out her lumber, we
shall force the further movement of
American factories across the Detroit
River. Already there have been in
vested In the Windsor area some hun
dred and fifty millions of American
dollars, with a proportionate creation
Of Canadian pay rolls at the cost of
abandoned American pay rolls.
To the American farmer it makes
mighty little difference whether work.
ers employed in these factories are
Canadians or transplanted Americans.
The fact remains that, dwelling out
side the United States and making
goods for Canadians inside the CAM
adam industrial tariff wall and out
side the American agricultural tariff
wall, they eat Canadian flour, butter,
meat, cheese, milk and vegetables.
They wear Canadian or other British
textiles. The paint on the walls of
their homes is mixed in Canadian lin
seed oil. Their needs affect the Amer
lean farmers market little more than
would be the case if they lived and
worked in Australia.
So much for one rather certain re-
suit of three dollar American lum-
Der tariff-Canadian retaliation in the
form Of industrial rates that would
force still more factories across the
line.
Another rather certain Canadian re-
prisal against the proposed high lum-
Der tariff would be reluctance, and
quite possibly flat refusal, to join with
the United States in the development
of the st. Lawrence Seaway., Failure
to build the Seaway would directly af-
feet the price of every bushel of grain
grown In the Northwest, for the lower
the cost Of shipment to Liverpool. the
higher the value OF the grain at the
country elevator. whether destined for
the world market or for domestic con-
sumption.
For every Job created In the forests
Of the Pacific Northwest BY the pro.
posed lumber rate. two or more work
!ngmen in the industrial centers OF
America would be thrown out OF en-
ployment. Add to this the abandon
ment Of the st. Lawrence Seaway
project, with It's promise Of work for
an army Of lAborers, and It will be
seen that, - q measure for stimulat-
Inn employment, the three dollar luus.
Der tariff would be worse than a
