Without Tom Toms

Without fuss or feathers the buy
now" campaign is taking hold in Bis
rnarck and North Dakota. Mer-
rants everywhere report that their
..siness is better and people gener-
ally seem to be in q more cheerful
mood.
Increased prices, presumably
chargeable to the MIRA, are drawing
no enthusiastic cheers in this dis
trict. but those who have money are
spending It now. both because they
need many things and because Of the
prospect that prices will 60 higher.
It is . matter Of sheer self Inter-
est and the average consumer il
keen enough to take what steps he
can to protect himself.
In some sections the buy now
movement has been accompanied by
fanfare Of publicity and the beat
ing Of tom toms. but behind It Is
more important thing. This Is tn
realization that the slogan represents
sound policy for the average man.
That is what makes 1t effective here.

NOW GO ON WITH
THE STORY.
CHAPTER XVII.

Bill was cumming his way South.
Not that it mattered which way he
went-North would have done rs
we'll.
A brakeman booted him off the
freight train somewhere near Sail
mas, SO he walked the rest of the
way into town and spent his last
cent for coffee and doughnuts.
After that he walked around aim
lessly for a while, with his hands in
his pockets. It occurred to him that
he might as we'll work his way to
Los Angeles, he had never been
there.
Work his way how? It was still
too early to "work in the fruit" and
he had made up his mind about one
thing-he wouldn't stay in q city.
Oh, well-he'd be on his way.
After he struck the highway he
got . few lifts, but he walked . good
many miles. By shutdown he was
tired and hungry. A woman in =
service station gave him q sand
witch. He smoked his last cigarette.
Two more miles, and he had had
enough. He crawled under barbed
wire fence, burrowed into stack
Of fragrant, drying alfalfa. His
tired limbs relaxed, he slept heav-
lily, dreamlessly.
When he awoke the moon was
shining full in his face. He was as
wide awake as il it were day. Far
away q train whistled. A dog
barked across the fields. He lay
there in the moonlight, trying to
sleep again. It had turned quite
cold, and he was hungry, and lone

worm, pin worm) Is one-fourth or
one-third of an inch long, and re-
sembles a bit Of white thread. The
worms live in the large bowel and
sometimes in the appendix. Their eggs
are microscopic in size and due to
nncleanly personal habits Of children
the eggs commonly contaminate
water and food or find their way on
unclean fingers directly to the child's
mouth.
This intestinal parasite sometimes
causes chronic inflammation Of the
colon in children or in adults, with
production of much mucous - one Of
the various conditions which wiseacre
victims call mucous colitis." The
prudery of the public forbids more
candid description Of the effects OF
infestation.
Probably the eggs Of pin worms. as
well as the eggs Of round worms,
are carried by flies and deposited on
fruits, vegetables and In drinking
water. The eggs are discharged In
enormous numbers.

In children the presence Of these
worms may cause frequent micturi-

Examinations or irritations, and such
irritation may lead to bad habits.
An injection (enema) Of soapy wa

an injection Of q pint Of water in
which one-half ounce Of quassia chips

treat the trouble. More detailed sug-
gestions are given in the booklet Our
Unbidden Guests" which readers may
obtain by sending a dime and q
stamped envelope bearing the correct
address.
Rigid adherence to the rules Of per-
sonal cleanliness Is the best insurance
against infestation with round worms
or pinworms. One Of the chief rules
and habits to inculcate In childhood
is that Of washing the hands before
eating, not merely before the formal
meals but before eating anything at
any time or place. This may seem
tlnical or fussy, in some circumstances.
and 1t IS indeed q needless rite on
many occasions, but so Is shaking
hands, and sometimes shaking hands
may spread disease, but who ever
heard Of any injury to health from
unnecessary washing Of the hands? It
is fine complex for anyone to cul-

Because this is . young nation and
We are q virile people we always find

contention. There Is no question

it Is necessary II 1t is to continue on
Q sound basis.
What the next battle-ground will
be Is clearly indicated by the resolu-
tons Of the American Legion and the
American Federation Of Labor. Both
big groups took strong stands against
two things. One was imitation Of the
currency, tho other was recognition
Of Soviet Russia.
OF the two. the former viii occupy
the main ring and the second will be

winter, although they may trade
places later.
For months the demand for more
and cheaper money has been voiced
insistently by many political leaders.

tons OF the farm belt. Initiation has

would lift agriculture and industry
from their beds OF pain almost over

Until recently only the voices of
bankers were raised against the idea,
and they had little effect on pubic
opinion. A peculiar psychological
twist makes some people oppose any
thing banker supports, regardless
Of whether he Is right or wrong.
But the American Legion and the
Federation Of Labor are 4 different
story. Each group is peculiarly rep
resentative Of the rank and file Of
American opinion. The unity Of their
action indicates . swing In popular
thinking away from the left or ultra
radical position, and toward the
right, or more conservative stand.

cations like them. will be the shock

The Other is to make the NRA Z

SECURITIES ACT AS ISSUE

SECU8kxkES All AS ISSUE
The federal advisory council to the
federal reserve board, which Is an i'd
visory body not necessarily rejecting
the view Of the board itself, has rec
commended amendment Of the federal
Securities Act and the 0lass-Steagall
bill, saying, 1.-THE normal issue Of cor
porate securities BY responsible cor
porations almost has ceased" adding
that refunding operations BY old
companies apparently have been
halted.
Friends Of the securities bill say
that the state Of the capital market,
not the restrictions Of the act, have
prevented normal refunding.
The best anster to some objections
that the new securities law Il too
strict. they say, lies in the fact that
more than q quarter billion dollars
worth Of new securities has been reg
istered since the act went into effect.
Mining, distilling, oil and invest
ment companies make up the bulk Of
the new ventures.

vile Chamberlain that his country
had no concessions to make in re.
turn for scaling down the debts.
Following closely as 1t does the
visit Of Sir Ronald Lindsay after his
informal talk with President-elect
Roosevelt, this statement OF MacDon-
AIDS may be taken as representing
the official position of the existing
British government and no doubt is
now given utterance to counterfeit
the extremely unfavorable reaction in
the United States to Chamberlain's
uncompromising attitude. The British
are practical people and they UNI
derstand perfectly that they cannot
get concessions on the debts without
offering something substantial In
return.
Along with MacDonald's statement
We are likely to find that a morator-
ium has been declared on debt
speeches or on any further bluffing in
this international poker game. 1t
will doubtless be the last to cmanate
from any official British source until
the boys get their feet under the
table at Washington next month and
get down to business.

We doubt that the mutineers who
captured a Dutch warship in the
South Seas broke out the jolly Roger
at the masthead and felt the thrill
which must have come to those old
swasfbucklers who sailed the Spanish
Main.
The MalayS who made up that mu-
tlnouS crew probably are not SO
imaginative. Being simpler and less
subtle people they concentrate on the
main chance and let the accouter-
ments take care of themselves.
Nevertheless they do bring to mind
visions OF Captain Kidd, Sir Francis
Drake, La Fitte and scores of others
who once put to sea in search OF blood
and booty.
All OF US, probably, have felt vague
STRINGS of desire to participate in
such bold events though most of us,
If put to the test, would run like

Nevertheless there is something dis
quoting in the thought of those brown
men behind the guns on that Dutch
warship. There are SO many of them.
What if all Of them took It into their
heads to challenge white supremacy?
