A Million Dollar Rain

If ever North Dakota had a million
dollar rain 1t was that of Monday. It
easily will add that much to the fl
nancial resources of this section be-
cause it was the salvation of the grain
crop and pastures in this district. A
few more days of blistering sun and
drying winds and all would have
been brown and sere where only a
short time before everything was
green.
The new moisture will revive the
crop, make the meadows lush again
and, above all, restore confidence to
our people. We can admit, now, that
things looked pretty black after the
failure of Sundays clouds to produce
anything but lightning and the hot
test winds on record.

ne worked out steel framework for

have the lower ropes set back a few

No Cause for Excitement

The report hasn't spread out te
North Dakota yet but in case it does
it Is only fair to state that there still
is parking space for automobiles In
Chicago. More specifically, the man.
agement of the worlds fair expected
some of their millions Of customers
to come by motor and made provision
for them.
Out here, it seems, there Is little
cause for excitement about it but
down in Chicago it Is matter Of i'm
portance for some bastard is being
accused Of spreading the report that
Chicago Is not permitting any park
ing this year despite the inconven-
fence such action would cause its
own residents, not to mention the Wis
itors.
Another rumor, and one out Of the
same factory, is that automobile tour
lists are not wanted in Chicago.
The big city by the lake is excited
about that, too. Loudly and vehe-
mently it declares it does want them.
It longs for them. It welcomes them
with open arms.
At the entrance to the exposition
grounds, we are told, there Is parking
space for 1000 cars. Within a mile of
the entrance there is room for 81 900
more In addition to those usually
found there.
The funny thing about it all is that
Chicagoans should have SO discounted
the native common sense of the
American people.
Everyone has pretty good idea Of
what conditions are in the Windy
City. OF hundreds Of thousands Of
visitors, many come by motor. Some
of them have encountered difficulty in
finding parking space as close to the
fair entrance as they do to their stores
or homes in Keokuk or Ypsilanti, Fort
Worth or Bismarck. Some Of them,
perhaps, have grabbed" about it a
little. This is only natural. It is nat
ural, too, that 1t would be little more
difficult to find parking space near
the fair grounds than in most other
places in view of the fact that the ex-
position Is playing" to approximate
ly 100000 persons daily. Most persons
are sensible enough to understand
that fact and not get excited about 1t.
AS for Chicago discouraging tourist
traffic it couldn't do that II it wanted
to, any more than it could make the
sun stand still.

Better Banks
(NeW York Telegram)

second IN Importance only to the
National Industrial Recovery Act.
the new bank law brings the country
closer to strong and unified banking
system.
When all legitimate excuses are
made Tor our banking system the fact
remains that Of all the worlds ma ior
countries suffering from depression
our country alone had serious bank
troubles 1t Is hardly reasonable to
assume that the cause Of this is orig
1nal sin or that American bankers are
less intelligent or less honest than the
bankers Of other countries.
On the contrary, there is every rea-
son for believing that our dual bank
Ing system itself is at fault, and that
1t would have produced the same kind
OF failures and chaos in any other
country and operated by any other set
OF bankers, no matter how wise.
The new law makes several vital re-
forms in our system. It separates
banks and security affiliates. It for
ces private banks to give up either the
deposit business or the security bust
ness. It breaks up interlocking direc-
torates between the large private
banking house and commercial banks.
1t clothes the Federal Reserve with
power to restrict the speculative use Of
It's funds.
The deposit insurance provisions of
the law were necessary compromise.
They are dangerous to the extent that
they lull the public and officials into
the belief that any absolute guarantee
Of deposits Is possible or that so-called
insurance is substitute for sound
banking system.
Fortunately, however, the insurance
provisions indirectly are expected to
contribute to sounder banking. The
public probably will support only
banks which are strong enough to
qualify for deposit insurance benefits.
The new law is accurately described
as the most important banking legis-
lation since the original Federal Re-
serve Act. Even so, 1t Is only a half
way measure. It still limits branch
banking to q few States. It still
leaves many loopholes for unscrupul-
Gus bankers-loopholes which will not
be fully understood until the Senate
has completed its Pecora investiga-
ton.
On the basis Of the completed in
vestigation, Congress will be In a po-
sitioa next winter to finish the bank
reform legislation begun in the Glass
SteaRall law.

Not a Gift

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived by The Tribune as to the
method of financing improvement
projects under the new public works
bill, the reason being the doubt in
many minds that the government is
going to strew money about to all
and sundry without expectation Of
getting 1t back.
In this they are quite correct. A
substantial part of any money obtain
ed fom the government will have to
be paid back, at low rate of interest,
exactly as though it were financed
through private sources.
Take the proposed high school
building for Bismarck as an example.
Not more than 80 per cent Of the cost
would be borne directly by the gov
eminent. The remaining 70 per cent
would be borne by the school district
and, in order to legalize the required
financial arrangements, it will be
necessary for the people OF the dis
trict to vote bond issue for that
portion Of the expenditure.
Details have not been announced,
but the state committee In charge Of
the work estimates amortization at
two and . halt per cent and interest
at three and one half per cent, max
ing total Of six per cent. In the case
OF Bismarck, 70 per cent OF q $3.50, 900
building would be $245,000. Six per
cent on that amount would be $14,7oo

Long ago I said here that the fe-

the eggs hatch into lusty young mites,

veyed by clothing, towels, bedding,
personal toilet articles and direct con-
tact. One case is enough to keep any
family busy. Prevention consists In
baking or boiling every possible article
which has been in contact with the
affected individual. And Of course
avoiding actual bodily contact with
the affected individual. Then, being
in an expansive mood, offered some
practical advice on treatment Of the
itch. I said:
plain sulphur ointment Is one
of the most effective remedies,
provided 1t is thoroly rubbed into
every bit of involved skin after a
complete and vigorous hot soap
and water scrubbing. The scrub
bling Is essential to soften hard
ened cuticle over the burrows. The
parasiticide should be rubbed in at
night and the patient should re-

Grafton, bath and all, for three
nights. Then a final bath, COM

clothing, and rest for a few
days. If the treatment has been
thoro the seven year itch ceases
right there in three days time"
This was not half bad-for those
days. But we live and learn, and I've
just caught up with the advancing
knowledge of the itch and how to
treat 1t.
The scientific treatment Of itch
makes me feel pretty cheap, I can tell
you. am indebted to practical
Medicine Yearbook" edited by DR..
Bernard Fantus for this-and possibly
some one will remember the vulgar
pun I made on this good teachers
name when I challenged his teaching
about skin absorption.
Well, old timers, I'm glad that /
can now assure you it is not necessary
to scrub within an inch of your life
in order to treat itch successfully, and
it ist even necessary to use sulphur
ointment if you dislike the color or
odor Of it. In fact any excessively
vigorous or irritating treatment does
harm. It seems that the acarus or
mite IS accessible only at night when
1t comes up to feed and breed on the
surface. A thin film Of a weak para
siticide parasite killing ointment or
oil applied to all parts except the
head for three nights successfully Is
sufficient. No scrubbing is necessary,
because no such remedy penetrates
the skin anyhow. No baths are neces-
sary in the course Of the three nights
treatment. Each batch of parasites
will hatch out in 48 hours. So it fol-
lows that If all the adult mites on the
surface are killed by the first applica-
ton Of medicine, only two generations
remain unmatched in the borrows, and
these will perish In the second and
third anointingS.
