Well, Whose Face
Would Not Be Red?

Chicago, Dec. l9.-(P-With his
face deep red, William Avoner,
painless and coatless, rushed into
a beer tavern Tuesday followed
by his girl friend, Miss Rose Wolf.
Avoner didn't waste any time
in explanations, but ran to a tele-
phone booth to tell police all
about the three bandits who were
inconsiderate enough to demand
that he give them his trousers
after robbing both him and Miss
Wolf Of their coats and her Of a
wrist watch.
He said they were accosted
while sitting in his automobile in
front Of her home, and were
forced to drive to another part Of
the city, where the robbers put
them out Of the car and drove
away In it.
While Avoner was telephoning
the police, Miss Wolf borrowed a
pair of pants for him from bar
tender.

ing caused no damage, according to
Harry A. Thompson, chief Of the Bis
marck fire department.
Employees were cleaning the floor
with gasoline when flames broke out,
Thompson said. He did not know
what caused the blaze but suggested
someone probably lit a cigarette In
the establishment.
All that burned, he said. was the
gasoline and grease on the floor.
Many automobiles were in the garage
but were not damaged.
Workmen had extinguished the fire
with extinguishers when the firemen

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
II Beer Eattening?

am nearly 10 and nearly if not
quite fat. Please tell me whether
will grow fatter II I take bottle Of
beer as bedtime snack each evening.
My husband laughs at the idea and
takes hts beer regularly yet hasn't q
scrap Of TAT on him Mrs. T. F.
Answer-A bottle of beer is an in
definite quantity. Seldom more than
three-fourths Of a pint in these par
louS times. If we concede that the
beer contains 3.2% alcohol and that
the alcohol Is oxidized and utilized by
the body as fuel or food, q bottle Of
beer may be counted as yielding ap-
proximately ITS calories. That Is ap-
proximately what you get from half
a pint. large glassful Of milk. Such
an addition to q maintenance ration
would bring about gain Of pound
a month If regularly followed. I don't
know, but I estimate one would have
to walk two miles to burn UP that
much energy. Amt 1t shame?
Honey or Sugar
Has honey any merits over cane
sugar or corn syrup or maple syrup?
wv. H. NJ
Answer-Not in nutritive value, di-
gestibility or suitability In metabol-
ism. However, honey is just as whole
some as the other items II one likes

September Morn's Children

September MOrn's Children
Who remembers the furore that
went up shortly after the turn OF
the century when daring artist ex-
hibited the picture "Septembe,
Morn?
The canvas was reproduced on cal
endars OF the more risque sort and
was subject for general discussion
The more modest gasped. the reform
ers fumed. and many sewing circles
passed indignant resolutions against
the exhibition.
Few can recall that there was COM
ment upon the comely young lady
who served as artists model, but II
any consideration were given to her
it probably was to assert that she
had consigned herself to a FORE
ordained doom.
All Of which Is brought to mind by
. note In Z magazine which dis
cusses art subjects. It reports that
the model In question, then a girl In
her teens, now u married and has
five children.
It may just Be another proof that
things are not always what they seem
Or. II they are. they don't stay that
way long.

Now for years I have been feebly

l have been advising mothers to be-

I have taught, and many parents have
found that suitable ration Of banana

also restores good digestion and good

sickly infants. And so on.
Now it appears that some research
worker at the university has discov-

they must meet the standard which
the lynchsrs establish for them.
In short, In the districts where IL
|is most commonly used, lynching Is Z
system established by one class Of
citizens to impose Its viii upon an
other class. Such things Is murders
rapings and similar crimes which
usually are held responsible for this
sort Of mass violence. are not 50 much
the causes Is the occasion for the
demonstrations.
On this basis the majority Of our
lynchinss stem directly from the race
problem which has existed in the
South ever since the liberation Of the
slaves. In communities where there
are - many blacks as whites. 1t be-
comes difficult for the latter to main
tain their dominance unless they re-
sort to extra-legal means. That is
why 70 many Southern lynchings are
perpetrated with the implied conniv-
ance Of public officials, sworn to de-
fend tho law.
In the North. and where white men
are lynching victims, the situation
usually Is different. In such cases,
lynching becomes q species of hood
lumisn, usually called into action by
the effect Of an outrageous crime up
on immature or weak minds. Thus
the chief defendant in the San Jose
lynchings of Thomas H. Thurmond
and John M. Holmes is an l8-year-
old boy.
In the South the so-called better
element, consisting Of community
leaders, frequently take the lead in
Negro lynchings. In the North, these
crimes almost never enlist the sup
port Of men who normally are lead
ers in the community.
On this basis, the society for the
advancement Of colored people may
find greater difficulty in enlisting
support for its law-enforcement ef-
fort than 1t has any right to ex-
pect.
It Is aiming at q situation which
may regard as none Of
their business and In which Southern
people would bitterly resent inter-
ference.
That q change in the attitude is
slowly developing, however, IS DEM
by recent happenings. The
governor Of Tennessee has ordered a
grand jury investigation Of q lynch
Ing case In that state. The governor
81 Missouri has taken steps to bring
the slayers Of Negro to trial and
the governor OF Maryland called out
the militia In an effort in bring
lynchers to justice.
This is rapid progress, considering
how little OF real civilization man
has acquired In the entire period COW
cred by recorded history.

One Of the conclusions this Colum-

hooey, In my judgment. It says:

cellent means Of increasing caloric

This implies that diet In nephritis
(Brights disease) must contain only

Is no scientific ground for the assump-
ton. But then, the man who con-
Quoted this great research on the ba-
mana Is not physician and SO could

Not 100 Per Cent

Many North Dakotans were sur
prised to read In their daily newspa-
pers the statement by A. G. Townley
in Washington that this state y prac-
tically 100 per cent for the industrial
program which he has presented to
the government.
They know It to be untrue. One
can almost hear the private COM
ments Of well, I am not In favor
Of it," and such remarks have been
common enough on the streets and
in the farmyards.
One need not be surprised, however,
in view Of Townley's record for dis
regarding the truth when 1t does not
happen to suit his needs OF his fancy.
The more charitable can attribute it
to the enthusiasm which inflames
the mind Of the born promoter when
he sees an opportunity to reap for
himself the reward which the shark
always scents when he deals with the
gullible.
The Townley record il too long to
permit Of complete exploitation on
short notice, but . few facts will
serve to illustrate the point.
Some seven yeays ago, North Da-
kota was startled by the announce
ment that gasoline had been found in
q well ct Robinson. It was alleged
to have seeped In from . fault In =
great natural oil pool. the oil having
been refined by seepase until 1t be-
came gasoline OF . quality good
enough to run an automobile.
Farmers came from miles around
to fill milk cans and other receptacles
with the fluid. and news of the won
der spread about the countryside.
Shortly thereafter Townley ap-
peared upon the scene as the promo
ter Of the great Robinson oil field.
He set up drilling rig and Z taber-
nacle OF promotion into which were
conducted the unwary from far and
near.
The harvest l. reputed to have
been good one. though just how
much was taken from the pockets Of
honest and handwriting people will
never be known. Townley probably
doesn't know himself. for he IS no
toriously poor ct figures.
Other "oil domes'' were located by
the mastery biologists in other
parts Of the state and residents Of
other areas were given the money
extracting treatment. Other der
ricks were put up to lead on the I'M
wary. The result In each instance
was the same. There was much talk
but no oil. Not cent Of the money
loaned to Townley by those who
trusted him has ever been repaid.
This IS not unusual. It was to be
expected. But more amazing i the
natural phenomena which attended
Townley's exploitation.
The well at Robinson slowly re-
turned to its former condition. The
seepage which filled It with gasoline
stopped as soon q the promotion
campaign was well under way.
In . physical sense, Townley's
achievement was comparable to that
Of Moses. who drew water from Z
rock BY striking it with his rod.
When Townley needed . gasoline
we'll. 10, one appeared. As soon a
the need had passed. nature ceased
her marvels.
These facts are not arguments
against this latest proposal to erect
new state industries. Opponents may
be able to find plenty Of those II and
when the proposition becomes . real
public issue.
They are items for thought when
serious consideration = given to any
proposal by MI. Townley which in.
