A proposal that Government workers
woh took more than is days vacation
prior to July l be deprived OF these
excess absences by cutting them off the
"a days compulsory payless furlough
required by the economy act has been
blocked by Controller General McCarl:
The unusual problem was submitted
to McCarl by Secretary of State Stim-
son, as part of a proposed mterpreta-
tion of the compulsory furlough proVl-
sion Of the act. The Secretary en-
dee vored to obtain for employees OF his
department some leave with pay during
this fiscal year. but McCarl, IN line
with several previous decisions on the
same question. said no leave with pay
could be taken now.
Secretary St.mson's proposed inter-
esting Interpretation which McCarl
vetoed" was explained by the Secretary
in part as follows
1T is believed that an equitable in
depreciation of the act would be to
hold that each employe in continuous
service between January l and June
80. 1882, Is entitled. under the law in
force between those dates, to IS days
leave of absence with pay. II Is days
leave has been taken prior to July l,
1O1 OBJ OF the act economy cited, the
employe would, during the fiscal year
1888 be furloughed for one calendar
month or "a working days without pay.
If on the other hand. the employe has
had more than Is days leave prior to
July l, such excess over Is days would
be charged against the furlough pro-
vided in Section 101. In other words,
in the case of an employe who has had
80 days leave between January l and
June 80. 1882, Is days Of such leave
would be considered as earned prior
to July l. The other Is days leave
would be considered as unearned and
would apply toward the furlough under
Section 101.
Deduction and Addition.
ITO be more specific, such employe
would, during the fiscal year 1888, have
the equivalent of one months salary
deducted, but would receive only nine
DAYS additional leave, or the difference
between the "a days provided under the
furlCugh section and the Is DAYS excess
leave already taken. The employe who
has had no leave of absence prior to
July /, would be entitled to receive be-
tween July l and December 81, 1882,
the Is days leave earned prior to June
30, 1882, and he would. of course. also
be subject to the 24-day furlough, as
provided in Section 101 (b)."
Explaining the great hardship" on
, employees who had had no leave Of ab-
sence this year, the Secretary put for
ward his proposal in the hope of hav-
ing it approved, and declared: IF au-
thorization to adjust the leave stu
alton as set forth in the paragraph
Just above is granted, it is believed that

A Modest Ayiatrix

Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam cap
tured the English public because of
her modest, simple and unaffected
demeanor. She frankly admitted that
her aviation effort was only a stunt.
Mrs. Putnam declared, in addressing
a few friends at a luncheon, my
flight adds nothing to aviation. It
has no significance at all; it is SIM
ply social visit on my part. I don't
expect to make another such trip but
I think transatlantic flying on regu-
lar schedule will take place in our
lifetime"
Recently stunt flying has given
place to careful, if rather routine, de-
velopment of aviation. The Atlantic
has been spanned SO many times by
eviators that the only thrill in Mrs.
Putnam's flight was the fact that she
is the first woman to make solo
flight over that treacherous course.
Her courage was impressive and she
deserved the acclaim received. All
the world loves pluck. Doubtless Mrs.
Putnam is all too modest in her esti-
mate Of the daring flight she made
over the Atlantic.
A cynic, writing in New York
newspaper, recently said that Amelia
Earhart has given us a magnificent
display OF useless courage" The
world generally will hardly agree
Adventure, after all, is the spice of
life and answer enough to the hard
boiled unitarian who always wants
to know What does it set you any,
way?"
Amelia Earhart in her simple mes
sage to the Londoners has answered
her critics.

Learning

(The Spectrum, N. D. A. c.
There has been tendency during
the last decade to practice laissez-
faire policy in education. The preva-
lent opinion seems to be: Let the
student alone; let him find his own
solution" This theory has been put
in practice in many experimental COL
leges, the most recent example of
which is the new plan in operation
at the University of Chicago, where
a student is allowed to progress at
his own rate of speed.
The theory in itself may be excel
lent, but one that is being a trifle
overworked. 1t is admitted that there
is too much knowledge for an indi-
vidual to discover for himself in one
lifetime. For this reason he must not
only be guided, but he must also
learn.
In our childhood we were taught
the alphabet, the multiplication ia
bles. We memorized hundreds of
lines that we neither appreciated nor
understood, and yet We cannot say
that this learning was ill-advised, al
though it did not inspire us to think
for ourselves.
Under the older schemes of educa-
ton children were forced to learn a
great amount of material or be disci-
plined severely. Now we learn as we
please, read what we please, and in a
great number of instances have no
definite knowledge of anything.
Perhaps there is a middle course.
We believe that the purpose of edu-
cation is two-fold first, to develop
and train the capacities of a pupil:
and second, to place at his disposal
the accumulated treasures of wisdom
and knowledge heaped up by the
generations that have passed. Natur-
ally, 1t is not enough to fill a student
with information. Nevertheless, there
Is a vast and growing fund of knowl-
edge that he must simply acquire.
Life Is too short to regard everything
as an open question. In spite of our
better psychology, the task Of the ed
ucator is still to impart knowledge.
The first thing a student must learn
Is to sit down, with his chin on his
hands. and his elbows on the table,
and to learn!
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1932-05-27

At conferences in Washington, Re-
publican leaders and President Hoo
yer are attempting to frame q plat
form plank on prohibition which will
meet the dilemma sure to face the
national convention in Chicago. They
are frankly hoping to hit upon some
thing which will satisfy both the drys
and vets within the party.
Apparently it is a question of TAX
ing a definite stand on one side or
the other or of writing something in
to the platform which the vets will
think is wet and which the drys will
think is dry. The aim is to hit upon
a solution like President Hoover's
great experiment" stand of 1928,
which now is rising to haunt him.
If the politicians run true to form
they will seize upon something which
means fish to fish, flesh to flesh, and
fowl to fowl, thus defeating any seri-
Gus effort to solve this vexing prob
lem.
1t is to L, hoped they will take a
firm stand on one side or the other,
but that seems too much to hope for.

WHY THINGS HEAL so SLOWLY

WHY THINGS HEAL so SLOWLY
We do know that persons who have
diabetes are more likely to suffer
from recurrent boils than are norma
persons. Indeed, a tendency to de-
velop one boil after another should
raise the suspicion of diabetes and
warrant at least careful examina-
ton for evidences Of such functional
deficiency. Perhaps there are other
systemic factors which retard or i'm
pair the healing process. But it is
idle to imagine that poor blood" &C
counts for delay in the healing of
ordinary cuts, wounds or minor in
juries. What do you mean by "poor
blood? I hope not what the nos
trum exploiters would have gullible
customers believe.
When any one springs this ques-
ton on me, and some one does every
day, neatly evade by asking another
question, namely, what have you used
by way Of remedy or treatment? Not
that am at all curious about that.
On the contrary I am Indifferent, for
no matter what you have put on the
little wound or injury I know the
treatment is. only a necessary evil at
best and handicap upon the heal
ing process as general rule.
Having found out what first aid
dressing and subsequent treatment
you have given the injury, I am in a
position to explain, at least to my
own satisfaction, why the healing is
so slow in your case. Do you begin
to comprehend? No, I suppose not.
Well, I'll do my best to make it clear,
though I am not at all certain you
will get it, for that depends on your
reception.

cides which will actually hamper the

lsue in any healing process. Nearly
every spring, about the time the new
fashions in clothing and headgear are
brought out, a remarkable new anti
septic is introduced to the profession
and the public, and the new anti

to dispose of germs and yet none of
the harmful effects on tissues that
all preceding nostruns have had-as
we learn season or two after they
are launched.

Answer-The best treatment is a
course of sulphur inunctions. This
self-treatment is tedious, but it gives
more lasting benefit than any other
remedy. Send stamped envelope
bearing your address and ask for in
structions, mentioning your trouble.
Occasional applications of solution
OF 10 grains Of resorcin in one ounce
OF alcohol or your favorite toilet wa
ter, q few drops rubbed into the scalp
night and morning, will control the
