Roosevelt Primary Gains Held to Imply a
Protest Swing From Republican Ranks

Minnesota, Maine and New Hampshire

Georgia and Murray met defeat in
North Dakota Based on present indi-
cations. this trio of prominent candi-
dates may not have more than $50

Murray has another important test
next week in Nebraska and Smith has
mis- big chance in Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania late this month. Esti-
mates are that Mr.. Smith will do we'll

support outside their home States.
II the present trend continues
through the month, the question ex-
pected to present itself is whether the
favorite sons can muster the neces-
sary one-third to exercise the veto over
the convention. So far the only can
didates, excepting Roosevelt, who have
won support outside their home States
are Gov. Murray, who has one delegate
from North Dakota. and AL Smith, who
captured one of Wisconsin's 26.
One of the politically important pri-
mary votes of the last week, although
involving only two delegates, was in
the Buffalo district, where there was
sharp clash between Al Smith and
Roosevelt in a district strongly favor

suit has spurred the Roosevelt man

IN many instances failed to give the
military salute. Surely the chief Of
police, a retired Army officer, could give

In each preceding parade, dating
back number Of years, it has been
noticed that the Stars and Stripes re-
ceives less and less tribute.
To what will this lead? In time will
American audiences fail to arise when
The Star Spangled Banner" Is played?
These tributes are not compulsory, 1t
is true, but they are marks of respect
to the nag and to the Nation for which
it stands. 1t is not only sentiment, it
Is patriotism and loyalty.
There are many organizations and
associations in the country today-one
or more for almost every school Of
thought. Instead of forming a new
society of some kind, let every one con-
stitute a committee OF one to recog-
nize our flag and pay it the proper
respect.

An Airship Line to Europe.

Hard on the announcement of Pan
American AirWays that it was joining
with Transamerican Air Lines in pro-
1eeting a Northern crossing of the At
lantic to Europe comes word from the
Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation that
plans have been completed and funds
are available for what might be termed
a Washington-P Paris lighter -than-air
service, inasmuch as Hybla Valley, just
below Alexandria, has been tentatively
selected as the United States terminal.
Theoretically, the airship service has
been in operation for the past five years.
Meteorologists have been studying
weather conditions during this period,
and the route as now planned will be
south of the usual steamship lanes
and will embrace the Island of Ber-
muda
This is interesting news indeed
Since Count Won Eckener successfully

Promoting New Wood
Construction System
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

A new wood construction system
which is expected to have far-reach-
ing effect upon building activities in
the United States, has been worked out
by Government agencies. This was
disclosed today by the National Com
mittee on Wood Utilization of the De-
partment Of Commerce.
In cooperation with the forest prod
ucts laboratory Of the Department Of
Agriculture and the Bureau of Stand
ards of the Department of Commerce,
the committee is preparing report to
be made public soon dealing with the
description and application of the vari-
GUS types of metal ''connectorS" which
constitute the main feature of the new
system. Heading the committee is Axel
H. Oxholm and associated with him are
prominent engineers, architects, con-
tractors and builders.
Mr.. Oxholm has studied extensively
the development Of construction meth
ods in Europe. In the announcement
of the new system he points out that
the weakness Of all previous types of
wood construction has always been the
Joint. During the war, when steel was
scarce, the European engineers-par-
ticularly In Germany and in Scandi-
navia-were forced to mske use Of To-
cally produced timber and in doing so
developed the metal connection idea
remarkably. More than so different
types Of such connectors have been
collected and studied by the committee.
1t also has the benefit of Mr.. Oxholm's
study Of outstanding radio towers, air
plane hangers. auditoriums, exhibition
halls and other buildings in Europe
constructed on this system. Some OF
these auditoriums have seating ca
pacity of $4,000 people-siZes unheard
Of, even in the United States, where
timber available for construction is far
superior to that in Europe. Wooden
buildings surprising in size and econ
omy Of construction anything hereto
fore constructed are towering against
the sky In continental Europe. Radio
towers 800 to 400 feet high, and built
largely Of American lumbsr and other
materials are dotting the map Of Eu-
rope.
Perhaps one of the most important
results of this survey will be the posi-
bility Of using for construction purposes
woods that have been less favored for
buildings under the old systems. This
has been the case in Europe, where even
white f1r, which heretofore was princi-
pally used for boxes and crates, is now
extensively used for buildings Of vari-
GUS kinds with perfect safety. The
architectural possibilities are very great
since the metal councillors lend them
selves very readily to framed arches
and curved roof prcf1les
Through the introduction of metal
connectors 1t will be possible to fabri-
cate the structural members in facto-
ries, shipping the n naterials to tire build
ing site for erection. This is exactly
| the same system that is successfully
followed today in the steel industry.
Prominent engineers who have looked
into the results OF these investigations
made by the National Committee on
| Wood Utilization have pronounced the
undertaking to be one OF the most i'm
industry in so years.

Cantankerous Europe

In his now celebrated letter to Senator
Borah on the Far Eastern situation
Secretary Stimson admcnished the
world to have patience with China in
its tedious task Of building demo-
cratic civilization on the ruins of
an archaic and discredited imperial
autocracy. Current events seem to dis
close the necessity of similar compass
sion for the efforts of Europe to put
its house in order. The Old World,
thirteen years after Versailles, remains
divided and distracted. The latest
manifestation of that unhappy stu
alton is the failure of last weeks con-
ference at London for consideration of
q Danubian economic confederation.
France, supported by Great Britain,
proposed a preferential tariff union
among Austria, Hungary, Czechoslo-
vakia Rumania and Jugoslavia. This
would involve, CT course, the surrender
by outside powers Of their rights under
INSTRUMENTATION clauses in CONNER
cial treaties. Germany and Italy re-
fused to relinquish these rights. Their
contention was that the abandonment
of them while not helping the Dan
ubian states, would needlessly add to
German and Italian economic difficult
ties. On its face, this is a plausible
argument 1t would be all the more
convincing but for the suspicion that
the German-I italian position springs. at
least in part, from the determination
of Berlin and Rome not to sanction
anything that would strengthen the
influence of France as first violin in
the concert of Europe"
The net result is the collapse, in its
initial stage, of the one concrete plan
which has yet emerged for the salvaging
Of the European politico-economic situ-
alton. 1t is a sad and sorry curtain
raiser for the realization Of Brands
ideal of United States of Europe, for
it is an aggregation of apparently
hopelessly disunited states that have
failed to effect a solution cf what, from
bLAAo ACAAAObN dRPSoAo w vs. a ASo-
sonably simple problem. The desperate
plight of the Danube countries Is ad-
nattted on all hands. The readiness to
ameliorate it is manifest everywhere in
Europe. Yet when things come to the
sticking pcint, ancient grudges, old
time suspicious, ineradicable rivalries,
win the day.
Now comes Fascist Italy, expressing
itself through the political party en-
throned at Rome in the person of
Signor Mussolini, and declares that
both reparations and war debts must
be wiped out. Until they are settled" :"
by which the Fascists mean until they
are obliterated by cancellation, the first
necessary step toward world economic
recovery will not have been taken. The
Black Shirt manifesto is directed at
the United States as much as it is at
the reparation powers. It does not pre-
sent the American people with new
idea. But it has the virtue Of re-
arresting our attenti-n to an issue
which this country. through Congress,

His slightest word I meant to heed.

Text: st. John, iv.2o-"Our fathers
worshiped in this mountain, and ye
say that in Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship"
Insular ways of thinking and practice
are common to most of us. That a man
Is no larger than the place in which he
lives we cannot accept as q dictum, but
it frequently happens that the limits OF
the community in which we reside, or
the coterie with which we fraternize,
determine the metes and bounds OF our
outlook In no aspect Of Our life Is this
truer than in our religious faith and
practice. 1t is this that makes for
bigotry. prejudice and narrowness of
view.
Some one has we'll said that I'VE inherit
our politics from our fathers and our
religion from our mothers" In one
sense this may have large value, but
where it is an inheritance that places
limitation upon our thought and prac-
tice, it is a liability and not an asset.
We know Of nothing more paradoxical
than the almost universal habit con-
spicuously INDUCED in by the avowed
followers Of Christ than that which lays
claim to q superior and exclusive ex-
preston of religious belief and practice
and that denies to others the right Of
legitimate standing in the large and
comprehensive fellowship of Christian
believers. This more than any other
thing Of which we have knowledge has
hindered the growth and progress Of
the Christian religion. We are bound
to believe that in this later age bigotry,
prejudice and narrowness in this re-
spect are less evident than they were
in the preceding generation, but not
withstanding this, there is still much
to be accomplished.
Recently there met in Washington a
distinguished group of high-minded
men and women, broadly inclusive Of
religious thought, who came together
to discuss what further steps should be
taken to allay bigotry and prejudice In
the field Of religious activity. The out
standing religious organizations were
represented by people Of broad culture,
wide reading and unchallenged distinc-
tion in their respective fields. 1t was

wise to transfer it's location to Mora,
so as to better care for it's rapidly
growing number of customers. Per-
mission for this transfer was obtained
from the State Securities Commission
at a hearing held in st. Paul on
February 9, and a meeting of the
Quamba State Bank stockholders will
be held on February 90, to ratify this
action. The Charter will be amended,
changing the name. location and in
|creasing the Capital set-up.
The new bank will be known as the
Kanabec State Bank, and will open
for business in Mora on Tuesday, Feb.
90, in the former First National Bank
building. which was recently pur-
chased from the receiver of the First
National Bank Considerable re-mod-
cling is being done this week to the
interior of the building. The Kanabec
State Bank will have $4,000 capital.
