The Puzzle Of Sally
Chicago 1'ribune)

Miss Sally Rand, a disturbing ele-
ment In this community ever since
the fair opened, has been sentenced
to year in jail for representing q
century Of progress in the exposition
OF the human body. A jury found her
guilty Of nudity and the Judge decided
that the expiation to society would
require year in the calaboose. Pend
ing further legal proceedings Miss
Rand continues to entertain or dis
may the city. There are at least two
opinions.
Sally's ups and downs this summer,
those OF the fans included, would have
been the glory OF any press agent, but
the brightest of them never could
have kept up with her. She has crash
ed the front page by the simplest Of
expedients which she herself describ-
ed as taking her pants off, thereby ex-
posing not SO much herself as the
confusion OF the human mind. It is
betrayed IN the utmost perplexity. It
doesn't know whether the human
body, certainly no strange phenome-
non In the world. Is ipnately noble or
innately vile.
Il there could be q determination
here, decision arrived at from In
troSpection, external facts, mo q
examination or scrutiny Of esthetic
values, then the episode Of Sally
might be clearing up Of doubts and

Issues Don't Vary Much

Public problems do not change 50
much through the centuries. Recent
ly the New York Sun, one Of Amer
ica's best written and most skilfully
edited newspapers. celebrated its one
hundredth anniversary. It was Charlie.
Dana, associated with that newspaper
in 1868, who really made the Sun.
In assuming editorial direction OF
The Sun, Mr.. Dana in his announce
ment wrote:
1T Che Sum will advocate re-
trenchment and economy In pub
lie expenditures and reduction
OF the present crushing burdens
OF taxation. 1t will advocate the
speedy restoration of the South
as needful to revive business and
secure fair wages for labor"
The same pleas are being uttered
today by press, pulpit and over the
air. Mr.. Dana, who fought Tam
many back in the sixties, seventies
and eighties, would not have tc
change his policy much in 1898, ex-
cept to make it more vigorous than
he did In 1868.

mal,ipulations. One Of the worst
charges which may now be made
AGAINST this institution Is that Its
presence has created an atmosphere
Of mumbo jumbo in handling the
states fiscal affairs. It has been easy
to borrow from the bank and the
temptation has been great. This alter
native has proved too strong when
compared with the less pleasant task
Of telling the people the truth and
letting them know what this venture
into finance was costing them.
In this, it should be understood
no one faction was alone to blame.
since the bank reached q position
where such things were possible, both
sides have made use Of the system.
But now the bank IS to be relieved
Of the load Of state loans 1t has been
carrying. The taxpayers will pour
out their dollars to inter the dead
horses which political management
has wished upon 1t.
II there were any injunctions
against q renewal Of former practices
the result would be good. But. sad
to relate, there are none. The wash
Ing up of today may be followed by q
new dirtying process tomorrow.
The second reason for making the
levy at this time-it may have been
the compelling one-was clearly po-
litical. During the recent sales tax
campaign Governor LANCER repeatedly
told the people that tax levy would
be necessary to pay bond interest.
Strictly speaking this was not true,
but for the board OF equalization to
make no levy after all the fuss and
furry raised by the executive would
have been q public confession on his
part. To save his face he had to
have q levy Of some kind and the
needs of the Bank OF North Dakota
served as a good argument for use
on his fellow state officers, now def
initely arrayed against him.
They, on their part, could not risk
their position by failing to give the
bank every safeguard.
AS result, the governor may ap-
pear before the electorate at some
future time and cite the current tax
levy as proof Of the statements made
by him during the argument over the
sales tax. He will be strictly in
character If he does so.
The fact Is, however, that the levy
was made to pay old debts rather
than to meet current bond interest
as the governor said he intended the
sales tax to do.

Coincidence. Jack IS not mere

THE greatest difficulty In the
appraisal Of the effect OF the
whooping cough vaccination Is
that no suitable control material
Is at hand" So writes DR.. Thor
valid Madsen, from the State Ser
UNI Institute, Copenhagen.
What does he mean control ma
terial"? That doesn't matter to q
ouack. q nostrum vendor or q testl-
monial writer. But it should matter
to any honest individual who has
modicum Of common sense.

into all corners or hooks where the
reaches may run: and another thou
sand guest reaches in the home OF
neighbor B are provided with the same
food, shelter and everything except
the sodium fluoride, the 1898 b
reaches will serve as an excellent con-
troll In the appraisal OF the value OF
sodium fluoride powder as roach ex-
terminator or repellant, when you
check up on results after week or SO.
On the other hand, If you find an IN
creased mortality rate among the
dogs, cats or children In the A house
hold, that will show you must not
leave sodium fluoride around where
dogs, cats or children can get 1t in
their mouths or on their hands or feet
or food.
In an epidemic Of whooping cough
In the Farce Islands In 1929 and IN
an earlier epidemic In 1924, some
valuable control observations were
made. In the earlier epidemic whoop-
ing cough vaccine was given to 2,O94
individuals but none was given IN GIT
other cases. The vaccine then used
did not prove Of any value as a pre-
yentive, but did make the illness mild
er and did lower the death rate, which
was only one-twelfth as great In the
vaccinated group as it was in the un-
vaccinated.
Ut Is unfortunate that the medical
profession persists in calling such
treatment vaccination" for it IS not
vaccination. It is not incubation. Nc

treatment. Smallpox Is the only dis
