Child Auto Drivers

A 14-year-old Chicago high school
girl, driving an automobile along a
public highway, recently struck a
seven-year-old boy who was riding a
bicycle. The boy wasn't badly hurt,
and witnesses said that the girl did
everything an adult driver could have
done to avoid hitting him. But it
preyed on her mind, and the tragic
upshot was that after a sleepless night
of brooding the girl committed suicide.
It's pitiful little story, and it
makes sad commentary on the auto
mobile age. Why should a child of
that age be permitted to drive car
in heavy traffic-or, for that matter,
In any kind Of traffic? Handling an
automobile these days is strictly job
for adults. The nervous strain that
the accidents of the road can bring
to driver is something no 14-year-
old ought to have to shoulder.

"Uncle Sam" for their favorite types

"Uncle Sam" for their favorite type.
Of sticks.
The business was started in the
Bowery, opposite London and Minors
theatre, in 1875. In those days canes
were more business like, being made
of heavy woods with solid ivory han
dies, and were considered emergency
weapons. Sword canes were popular
too, especially with southerners, Mr.
Simon remembers. He still sells one
occasionally, always assuming that it
is intended for collection, since 1t Is
against the law to carry them.
Uncle Sam has a crowded little
shop in a side street Of the theatrical
district now, and says he serves just
about all the MISUNDERSTANDING
Irving Berlin, Clifton Webb, Lee Shu-
bert and the Harrises, William A.
Brady, Bert Lair and Ted Healy are
regular customers. Gus Edwards car
ries light and very flexible sticks, and
breaks about one q month. Chapnn's
canes are made Of timber Chinese
wood called wanghee. Preston Sturges,
the playwright, used to give canes to
the casts Of all his shows.
Cantor's favorite is heavy nat
ural hickory that Simon himself cut
in the woods in Delaware Water Gap.
That's the way the little cane man
spends his vacations-prowling around
mountainsides looking for suitable
materials. He seasons the woods and
carves them himself. He also makes
few umbrellas, but prefers to devise
novel ones like that made for Joe
Cook, the comedian, which supplied
its own rain from tube running
through it.
Simon has orders for all sorts Of
novelty sticks, too. Some are elon-
gated liquor TASKS, others have cleo
trio lights or cigar lighters in the
handles. Simon has seen, but never
made, pistol canes, except that he did
once fashion an orchestra leaders
baton that would shoot a blank cart
ridge. It was used in mystery movie.
He has sold a 54-inch cane to circus
giant, and several 15-inch ones to
midgets. A Negro actor once ordered
an ebony stick "studious with rhine
stones" and became the talk OF Har-
lem when he flashed its $50 bril-
liants. Simon also makes leather
covered lead canes weighing fourteen
pounds with which some men take
strenuous arm and shoulder exercise
while strolling the avenues.
Uncle Sam, by the way, never car
ries cane himself. Says it would
make him feel conscious.

to $4,000 year. Thus the state saw
ed $4,000 a year without taking into
effect operating items, such as coal,
oil and labor, and that persistent
thing known as depreciation and re-
pairs.
Prison labor could have been used
for the heavy work, it is true, but 1t
hardly seems probable that the state
would have turned over the operation
Of $250,000 worth Of property to con-

The taxpayer outside Of Bismarck,
therefore, saves whatever difference
there would have been between the
cost Of a state-operated plant and the
present contract with the utility COM
pany. In these times the saving is
not one to be sneezed at.

Shifting Population

1t will be interesting to see whethe,
the end Of the depression will bring
any change to the striking new shifts
In American population growth.
Figures compiled by the Scripps
Foundation for Population Research
show that during 1882 American cities
as whole decreased in population by
more than 100000 persons Farm pop
ulation, on the other hand, increased
| in that year by 100000.
A great part Of this is undoubtedly
due to the depression. The cityward
migration of farm youth was checked;
and vast numbers of ex-ruralites who
lost their city jobs retreated to their
parents farm homes for the duration
OF hard times. Let prosperity come
back and the old tendency probably
would be resumed.
But we can't be quite certain about
it. There are good reasons for be-
lieving that most of our cities are
about as large now as they ever will
be. A movement toward decentraliza-
ton seems to have begun. How far
is 1t apt to continue, and what will
It's ultimate effects be?

In these days of chaotic financial

But fear, inertia, uncertainty pre-
vent them from investing it where 1t

Persistence Wins

Records fell like wheat before the
scythe at the Capitol City Track and
Field Meet here Saturday and the fact
is reassuring. It shows that our mod
ern youth has speed in laudable di-
rections as we'll as in those enter
prices which cause some graybeards to
protest that Young America is going
to the dogs.
Bismarck is happy to have had
these splendid young athletes with
us and proud Of the success Of the en-
terprise, the tenth in series which
began rather inauspiciously.
When the first Capital City Track
and Field Meet was held 1t attracted
little attention outside the immediate
vicinity of Bismarck. Athletes from
neighboring towns came to match
speed and power but the eastern part
of the state paid little attention. An
nual meets at the state university and
agricultural college then were the big
affairs Of the spring season In high
school athletics.
The equipment which Bismarck
mustered for that first meet was not
imposing. It had no athletic field to
speak of and the conditions were those
which face every pioneer.
Probably the biggest single boost
for this affair was the donation to
the school system by E. A. Hughes of
the present athletic field. Steadily
improved by the school board, it now
is one of the finest plants in the state.
No other high school boasts anything
approaching it Nevertheless, even as
It stands, it has cost the taxpayer
practically nothing. Receipts from
football games and other attractions
have just about paid its operating ex-
penses and the cost Of improvements,
according to last reports.
There was one occasion, which some
participants well will remember, when
rain made it necessary to improvise a
course on prairie land west of the
Roosevelt school building and the
races were run in a rather bitter rain
But persistence won out and this
year the Bismarck gathering was the
most important of the year. The
University and Agricultural College
cancelled their meets and most of the
athletes who would have won points
there participated at Bismarck.
BY refusing to be discouraged and
keeping at it when the going seemed
toughest, Bismarck has won recogni-
ton, not only for itself, but also for
the entire western part Of the state.

Everyone Benefits

DECISION TO aDandOn the proposal
for construction Of q power plant at
the state prison will meet with gen.
eral approval both in Bismarck and
throughout the state.
This city will receive the biggest
direct benefit from the death OF this
ul-advised scheme. Because the load
on the lines of the local utility COM
pany will be increased, it may become
possible to grant q reduction in rates
to local private consumers.
The reason for this Is easy to I'M
derstand. The additional service will
be rendered by the utility at relative
ly small extra cost. It will need to
employ little. II any, additional labor
and the equipment 1t now has IS am
pie. BY getting greater return on
its investment through the new state
contract, the company is enabled to
reduce its charges in other directions.
Taxpayers throughout the state al
so will save money. since it was ap-
parent from the first that a $3.50, 900
plant to furnish power for the capt.
toll, prison and Bank Of North Dakota
building would be an extravaganza.
Under the contract the state pays
q minimum charge Of $4,000 q year
and for that amount may receive up
to 100000 kilowatt hours Of energy
without additional cost. Any addi-
tional power will cost one cent per
kilowatt.
It IS improbable that the state will
use 100000 XVIII during the next
year, but with the installation Of new
industries at the prison and compile
ton of the capitol building it may do
SO in the near future.

HIP HOORAY, WHEN DO WE
SLEEP?

A lucky, or perhaps we should say
right living individual boards a train,
sees to the slowing of his goods and
chattels, makes a contribution toward
the support of the company's en-
ployees, and at his customary time
retires to his cubbyhole and enjoys his
nights rest just as tho he were SUM
bering in his own little beddy at home.
But 1914 per cent of us are not
trained that way. We just serve time
in ironic solitary confinement and are
tossed all thru the hideous night, the
while we plot unheard = of crimes
against almost anybody behind that
curtain. It's all in the dendrites. II
you live right your dendrites are right.
Dendrites are not something that gets
in your hair, nor do you pick them
up by getting out of bed barefoot.
We're all born with dendriteS. Here IS
at least one point of absolute equality.
Makes not particle OF difference
whether your grandfather or his was
horse thief or a financier, you start
life with precisely the same standard
denditric equipment that all other
makes and models of your year have.
Dendrites are microscopic contrac-
tile processes of the central nerve or
brain cell, which receive the impulses
that come in thru authorizations at
the terminal Of the nerve. A wee re-
traction of the dendrites breaks the
connection with the nerve terminal
authorizations and In effect insulates
the organism from all minor external
stimuli or impressions. That means
sleep.
Most people take the same un-
physiological view of sleep that they
take of other functions Of the body,
notably DELEGATION. These morbid con-
ceptions are created and constantly
kept in the mind Of the laity by the
nostrum interests whose business Is
the exploitation Of popular credulity.
Do not the majority Of the popula-
ton believe that 1t is necessary to
regulate" the bowels to do some
thing to make the bowels move some
times if not all the time2 Wiseacres
and so-called educated" persons in
general, in their ludicrous ignorance
of physiology, fall easy prey to the
suggestion that constant attention to
the regulation" Of the bowels is q
fundamental principle of health. Like
wise they readily assume that when
one does not sleep well something
should be done to make him sleep.
If the distinction I am trying tc
draw between letting one sleep and
making him sleep, or between letting
the bowel act and making it act
seems a bubble, it seems so because
you fail to grasp the physiological FACT
involved. Perhaps I cannot better ex'
plain than by reminding you that 8
person can be made to breathe deeply
or more slowly by various physical
chemical or emotional means or by hi
own will and attention to his manner
of breathing. Yet no one doubts thai
the breathing will be best regulated
and most efficient II the person pay'
no attention to 1t and we do not at
i tempt to influence it by physical
chemical or emotional means.
i Well, believe it or not, the function
of digestion is under the same auto
lmatic or autonomic. unconscious ant
involuntary control as is the function
of breathing, and so is sleep.
