Little Man

Pictures of Giuseppe Zangara,
wrapped only In towel and pinioned
by two burly officers Of the law, indi-
cate that the man is rather an in
significant human specimen. Granted
that he could not be expected to look
his best, it is certain that he would
hardly be selected as a man of mark
ed physical or mental ability under
any circumstances.
Yet this individual fired shots
which have reverberated through
America and the world. Those same
shots might have wrought major
disaster to this nation, in view of the
rather touchy condition of affairs.
Because of twisted brain and the
possession Of gun, Giuseppe Zangara
came close to changing the course OF
some rather important history. The
American Nation has chosen Frank
lin D. Roosevelt to lead it during the
next four years in hopes that he will
find way out of the morass which
has impeded progress. Had Zangara's
aim been better. that selection of the
people would have been nullified. An
other would have had to take his
place.
There Is no universal preventive
for twisted brains or the possession
OF revolvers but there could be no
better evidence that they are a bad
combination.

The Farmer
From The American Boy"c


Consider the American farmer. In
1919, at the peak Of our agricultural
production. there were 6,500000 of
him, supporting a total farm popula-
ton Of 3l,500,O00 One-half Of our
industrial workers depended for en-
ployment on materials furnished by
the farmer. His total yearly purchas-
Ing power was $4,000, 900 900. ana he
used this vast sum to buy American
products and 50 to keep turning the
wheels Of American factories. He Is
the man who made America, for in
George Washington's time 05% Of
our population was engaged IN agr1-
cultural activities. Yet from 1920 on,
the farmer has grown poorer and
poorer. His products have sold for
less and less, while his hired man
has demanded bigger wages, and his
implements and other necessaries
have cost him more and more. BY
1925 his net income for his labor had
dropped to less than $500 annually.
In hundreds of thousands Of cases he
lost his farm and became q renter.
And all this while America was ris-
ing to meet the greatest boom Of It's
history. All this while America was
scaling new heights of prosperity.
There was something lopsided about
It. Something exceedingly wrong.
You can't make q man poor, and
expect to sell him your goods at the
same time. But we kept right on
manufacturing. Is though everything
were all right. OF course we got badly
fooled. Wise men, such as Owen D.
Young. see in the Impeachment Of
the farmer weakening Of our whole
prosperity fabric. Remedies are too
numerous and too complex to discuss
here. But we'd like to leave with
you the thought that without
healthy. self-respecting. comfortable
farming group this country will find
itself standing on one leg.

Canning in Vogue

Believe it or not. but the good old
days" when mother and the girls
canned enough garden sass" to last
through the winter are with us again
and the standard of the work they do
is higher than ever.
Assurance of this fact comes from
the group which supervises the an
nual national competition of All club
girls. The claim is made that the
modern woman produces foods of a
uniformly higher grade and palata-
bility than formerly was the case be-
cause Of improved methods and equip
ment, worked out by scientific study.
Very frequently the modern kitchen
has utensils and devices beyond the
dream OF any woman 20 years ago.
Incidentally, according to this sur
vey, some of the girls who enter these
competitions make more money than
do their fathers In the operation OF
an entire farm under current condi-
tons. Waneta Guthrie, 15-year-old
champion Of Kansas. reported an in
come of 1891 from this source in 1882.
Gene Sheppard OF Alabama, II years
old, paid her own high school ex-
penses and sent enough canned goods
to her brother and sister in college to
materially reduce their living ex-
penses. The champion Of Michigan
donated vast quantity OF material
to the poor and taught many women
to can on a budget" plan, thereby
reducing their household expenses.
Nor is the canning season limited
to the summer and fall or to the pre-
servation of fruits and vegetables.
Many a North Dakota farm woman
has been busy this winter canning
sausage, other pork products and beef
against a demand for them next sum-
mer.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-02-20

that 1t makes the license tags little
more complicated and may make the
license numbers little harder to
read at glance.
In adopting q state slogan, how
ever. North Dakota would by no
means be a pioneer, five states hav-
ing had symbols or slogans on their
license tags in 1882. Louisiana has a
pelican, Montana an outline Of the
state. Pennsylvania q keystone. South
Carolina offers lire reading THE
iodone products state" and Texas
has lone star.
Current tags carry the names Of q
states in full while authorizations arc
used in 81. In % states and the Dis
trict Of Columbia the name of the
state is shown at the bottom; % states
have the name at the top; seven have
it on the right side and two on the
left side.

A NEW ANTIDOTE FOR CYANIDE
POISONING

Hydr0cyanic (pruSSic) acid is a no |
torious poison, but its lethal effects
are far less spectacular in fact than
they are in legend and fiction. In
fiction this poison makes q neat
enough job of Old Skinner Churl and
provides chapter or two of creepy
business catching the butler in the
act of burying paper Of crumbled
peach pits, but in fact the tell-tale
odor of bitter almonds that hangs
about the corpeS renders this poison
unpopular. Notwithstanding the vo-
latility Of hydrogen cynaid or hydro
cyanic acid it's presence has been de-
tected in the body two months after
death-sorry If this gums the plot OF
terminating mystery story. It is
still simple matter for facile au-
thor to get around the difficulty.
Have cherry-laurel tree lPrunuS
Laurocerasus) growing just outside
the library window. and crush some
of the leaves and arrange them senti-
mentally about the serene old boy
just before the coroner arrives. War
ranted to fool everybody except your
own copyrighted criminologist. who
casually notices and labels all the
exotic plants about the premises as
he rolls up the winding drive from the
avenue to the forbidding bronze doors
of Churl Hall.
Potassium cyanid Is commonly used
in metal polishing and plating. and
jewelers. employe it with little concern
about its poisonous character.
Hydrocyanic acid gas or vapor has
been used as fumigant for destroy
ing vermin. especially rats in the hold
Of ships and bedbugs and other pests
in houses, but some fatal accidents
have shown that it Is too dangerous
for this use in human habitationS,
though it is still advantageously en-
ployed for the determination Of rats
in the holds of ships under the rigid
control Of the port sanitary author
tiles.
Hitherto there has been no very ef-
fective antidote for hydrocyanic pol
soning. If the dose is fatal one
death ensues in from one to - min
utes. If the victim survives as long
as one hour the chances are good for
complete recovery. The effects Of the
poison are speedy. but II recovery fol-
lows the symptoms abate as rapidly
as they came on.
Ordinary hydrogen peroxide is one
antidote for prussic acid or for cy-
anide poisoning-a tablespoonful or
two Of the pure peroxide given In .
little water as quickly as possible. !.
Recently two traffic officers In San
Francisco took drink Of liquor with
the manager of All office building In
his office. Within Is minutes all three
collapsed and lost consciousness and
were hurried to hospital. All were
given artificial respiration and other
emergency remedies. but all died. one
in 10 minutes, another In five min
utes. the third after more than two
hours. In the locker Of the office
manager several bottles Of whiskey
were found. one containing . large
amount Of sodium cyanide. Whether
the cases were murder and suicide or

TOO MUCH CUT
Which recalls the prediction Of a
theatrical expert that shows, staged
In the elaborate modern manner,
could not be produced at the current
cut prices. It was all right, said my
informer, for a play to cut to q - top
after q month or so Of operation; but
to open on that basis would be some
thing else again.
Cheaper grade productions or at
least s. or s. per seat over period
Of several weeks are alternatives as
recited by the more pessimistic
prophets.
ENTERTAINING CHARITY
Meanwhile the recent incorporation
Of the Actors Dinner Club adds
sigh to the many already caused by
topical conditions. This very bust.
ness-like procedure indicates that the
important stage personages operating
this charitable enterprise place an in
definite time upon relief: they imply
a far-off future for general employ

YORK
DON'T YOU REMEMBER:
!'|!| :Ia7 .I,

DON'T YOU REMEMBER:
New York, Feb. 20.-When they
clamped the doors on the Rialto The
alter, which adjoins "the crossroads OF
the world" old-timers began to bark
back to the time when this was Ham
merseteins Victoria.
Other oldsters scratched their heads
and recalled the time when Roxy
stepped into the Broadway picture
through his successful management
Of a theater which actually seated
1000 persons
The first reminiscers remembered
that the hey-day Of the original Ham
merStein house was associated with q
bar in the theater. Then there were
fourteen acts of the best vaudeville
for fifty cents. The Victoria was q
key musical spot as well and the the.
alter was then sufficiently prosperous
to support couple of OF her
Hammerstein houses and pay off such
songbirds as Tetrazzini. Mary Garden
and Melba.
Paramount took the house abou,
ten years ago, and -Publix
went into receivership. The Rialto
shut down and the fate OF the Cri-
terion, something Of showroom for
Paramount's ace films. Is uncertain.
