trading for the public.
He said he never sold short on
a rising market or bought on a
declining market. He said. he
rever bought stocks when he
thought they we're going to de
cline, adding:
"I'd sooner be wrong and
miss 10 points on a rise than to
buy that stock on a bull market
and see it carried down later"
Brush said he followed a sys-
tenn of buying or selling stocks at
definite figure, instead of scale
operations.
Explains Scale Buying
He was asked to explain scale
operations which he called "the
other system" and said:
"A man decides he wants to
own 10000 shares of steel. He
puts in an order for 1000 shares
at so, 1000 at 40 and on down
the line.
"He can do it on the short
side of the market, too"
Brush said he might be in the
market on both sides at the same
time on different stocks, buying
those stocks he thought were 60
ing up and selling those he
thought were going down.

your opinion as to the effect
of heavy short selling?"

FRANCE SCORES
ARMS VICTORY

GENEVA. April % G.N.SD
France scored decisive victory
today over the United States and
Great Britain at the meeting of
the General Disarmament Com
mission, by obtaining an amend
ment to the Criteria resolution,
which leaves the way open for
discussion of the French plan.
Concluding a debate on the
question, the commission unani-
mously voted in favor of the
resolution of Sir John Simon,
British foreign minister, after it
had been amended to make the
aim of the conference "the aboli-
ton or decentralization Of
offensive arms"
The phrase "or internationali-
cation" was inserted as a result OF
the attack upon the original res
olution made yesterday by M.
Titulescu, of Rumania, inspired
by the French delegation.
1t leaves the way open for dis
cussion of the French plan for
an international police force
under the League of Nations
which would approve offensive
arms if used by the League.
Simon and Ambassador Hugh
Gibson, of the United States
had first held out for the origi-
nal resolution which ,;puld have
barred discussion of the French
plan.

Senator Peter Norbeck (RD

short selling, was sponsor for such
a charge.
Norbeck accused at least two of
his fellow committeeman with sid
ing with those who are defending
present stock trading practices. He
made his accusation in a radio
address last night.
After promising his coTmittee
would war to the finish on reg,
ulations he thinks serve only to
fleece the public, the western Sen
ator said:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Food Value

Which contains the most food
value, one egg or one chocolate bar
Of average size and quality? 81. M
Answer-Or one small kettle of
fish? Three ounces of milk choco-
late yields 400 calories. An egg yields
rs calories. So probably an average
chocolate bar would sustain you
longer than would an egg. But the
food value of the chocolate bar is
virtually that of sugar alone-the
best of food where emergency rations
are needed. The food value of egg
is better balanced. one-third Of it
being protein or albumen and two
thirds fat. Besides an egg contains
valuable vitamins which are not fur
nished by chocolate bar

The Financial Position of the
American Red Cross
Red Cross Courier


The present period of depression
accentuates the financial problems
of every organization which is deal
ing with any part of the mounting
and emergency needs inevitable in
such a situation. The American Red
Cross. fully aware of its responsible
tiles. has marshalled its resources to
the best of it's ability to render the
maximum of service.
Since the close of the World War
the Red Cross has expended $38,-
100000 more than it has received,
even though its revenues during those
years for all purposes have amounted
to something over S135 AGO. 900. In
1882. the Red Cross expended some
S2.800,000 more than its receipts in
order adequately to meet such emer-
gencieS as the Northwest drought,
the wheat distribution costs, and
many critical situations growing out
Of the present depression. Surely it
can be said that the Red Cross has
not boarded. but has with definite
planning over the years made gener-
GUS use of the funds entrusted to it
during the war.
With the appropriation of the for
mer disaster reserve of $5.O00.OOO for
expenditure for drought and emer-
gency relief, the Red Cross commit
ted a fund which sound Judgment
might we'll have dictated in normal
times should have been retained for
the permanent financing of the huge
relief tasks with which the organ
lzatlon is suddenly confronted. But
1t seemed to the Central Committee
that in these times every possible
facility should be made available to
avoid appeals in the face of the gen.
eral situation. The balance of this
fund, which on June 80 was $1,796,-
600, will be drawn upon for the con-
tinuing emergencies and for such un-
usual expense as the cost of wheat
and cotton distribution.
The remaining funds are allocated:
$685. 900 for tbs years budget, in
GLIDING general disaster relief; ST.
455 900 to assure the continuity of
the work for disabled ex-service men
and women and their families; 81
$4,000 as a disaster revolving fund
so that, on the occurrence of a great
catastrophe, it may not be necessary
to delay the relief while a campaign
is organized and collections begin to
come in: leaving 100000 in the
general fund to safeguard all tho
other obligations Of the Red Cross
and make some provision beyond the
immediate budget.
1t is apparent from even this brie!
summary that the Red Cross has
reached a status when it has on hand
only the necessary working funds
and that it can not in the future,
as has been possible during the years
following the war, draw upon re-
serves for operations in excess of its
receipts. The Red Cross budget must
balance.

The insult Mess

Collapse of the amazing insult
pyramid has made federal regulation
of public utility financing almost
certain. 1t has furnished the hor-
rible example the demagogues and
the sincere needed to prove their
case.
There has been change in public
sentiment as result of the crash of
the insult structure. AS long as the
power trust was paying big divi-
dends and it's securities were rising
in value the investing public refused
to see wrong in them. Senator
Walsh's fight six years ago for an
investigation of that trust failed
to win popular support.
Now the government will prosecute
the insults partly out of its obliga-
ton to bring the guilty before the
bar of justice and partly out of a
guilty conscience. The uniformed
small investor could not know what
was going on but surely there were
men in high public places who knew
every step of the game, but who did
not interfere with the shearing. 1t
was only another South American
bond incident.
Government regulation of business
financing isn't essential But little
watchfulness on the part of the gov
eminent is.

Don't Forget the Children

No class probably suffers more
from the depression than children.
They are not as articulate as their
elders. Sometimes, yes, too often
they suffer in silence. Wars, plague
and pestilence take great tolls from
the juvenile population. Adults can
usually put up a better fight in this
struggle for existence.
That is why aid for the child be-
comes most necessary in these days
Of economic stress. Members of the
association of university women are
giving a benefit this week to provide
funds for school luncheons for under
nourished children. No, Bismarck is
not too small to have its problem
of the under nourished child. This
situation is usually associated with
the big city of teeming thousands
with tenements, slums and peoples
Of many nations.
This depression has placed that
problem too at our doors. The wom-
en- of Bismarck should be supported
generously in their noble undertake

fit, send in your donations for this
work. Unless funds are provided to
carry on, some children will 60 to

THE MINIMUM RESUSCITATION
EFFORT

BY means of a modern instrument
of precision, the electrocardiograp
contractions Of the heart have been
shown to continue in some cases as
long as 80 minutes after apparent
death has occurred. By apparent
death we mean cessation of heart
beat and breathing so far as we can
detect by the ordinary methods OF
examination. This fact has a bear
ing on the occurrence of death from
drowning, asphyXia, electric shock
and poisoning. 1t has no bearing on
the occurrence Of natural death from
disease or exhaustion.
In the state which doctors call
shock, whether it be due to an acct
dent, great fright or other UNI
pleasant emotion, necessary sur
gical operation, or excessive bleeding
from any cause. the victim is limp,
pale, cold, unconscious or but feebly
conscious, and has a weak, rapid run
ming pulse and only the shalloWeSt
of breathing-the ordinary observer
may believe the victim is dead. Then
the doctor comes along and listens
for the heart beat and applies other
routine tests. The doctor. I say
frankly, is sometimes terribly uncer-
tain whether to pronounce the victim
dead. Even if he decides that death
has occurred. the electocardiograph
may still show the heart is still alive,
