SEEM BELIEVIN'

The case of the rube who saw his
first giraffe and said, There amt
no sech animule" was practically
reversed the other day in Helena
when an apparently well-off New
YORK couple said they had never
heard of Glacier Park and didn't
know where it was. They said they
had passed Yellowstone on their
their way across the state because
they didn't believe it was worth
seeing. A sermon on the beauties of
the two places by a local resident
caused them to change their minds
and start out for a tour of both
parks.

Canadian Grain Rates

Railroads serving the wheat producing states of
the northwest sometimes are charged with being
unfair to the farmers because their grain rates are
higher than those of the Canadian railroads.
Why is it that the Great Northern cannot
carry grain for as low rate as the Canadian
lines?
The explanation is that the Canadian
government paid its raiLroads-and continues
to pay then1-to carry lUheat at IoUer rates.
Canada adopted this policy because the govern
ment regarded it as necessary to attract settlers
western Canada.
The Canadian government aided the construction
OF the privately owned Canadian railroad by giving
it S25,O00,000 in cash, 25,o0O,OOO acres of land,
certain completed lines Of railroad, and perpetual
tax concessions.
Then, about forty years ago, the Canadian govern
ment made contract with the railroad, granting
additional cash subsidies and lands, and providing
for further reduction in grain rates.
And, of course, the government owned Canadian
railroad has maintained the same rates as the
privately system, but the huge annual deficit
of the government road-S54, 900, 900 for the one
year, le3s-is paid by the Canadian taxpayers!
The Great Northern, on the other hand,
was built through the Dakotas and to the
Pacific Coast without any assistance from the
government of any kind-no cash subsidies
no land erants-no tax concessions.
For each mile OF railroad the Great Northern
operates, it is obliged to pay more than four
times as much taxes as the Canadian lines:
TAXES PER MILE OF LINE
Canadian Governnaent-Owned System 240
Canadian Privately-Owned System = S 255
If the Great Northern's taxes last year had
been reduced to the Ieuel of the Canadian
railways, condition that the difference be
applied .Uholly to a reduction of w1eat rates,
farmers could haze shipped their wheat at
LESS THAN HALF RATES!

Record Number Of Visitors
Due Here on WAY 10 Fair

Impresario Grover Whalen per-
haps will be piqued, but a record
influx of tourists is expected to
tighten their pocketbooks in the
Capital this year en- route to New
York's Worlds Fair.
Curtis Hodges. promotion director
OF the Greater National Capital
Committee of the Board of Trade,
bases such prediction partly on
written evidence.
Already, he says, thousands of
letters have been received from per-
sons who expect to stop off in
Washington either going to or COM
ing from the fair.
Mr.. Whalen expects 10000, 900 to
attend the fair, Mr.. Hodges pointed
out, adding he hopes to have 5,0O0,-
600 OF them come here.
But even If we get 100000 plus
our normal tourist business" Mr..
Hodges said, I'VE are going to have
banner year."
That the tourist business ranks
as Washington's second most i'm
portant source of income is at
tested to by the fact that last year
the Capital was host to some g.
$685. tourists who spent an es-
timated S31, 1878 900. Convention
delegates. it is estimated. spent
$14 100000 and business visitors S12,-
100000.

Absorption Of Non-Germun Elements
May Mean Future Trouble for Reich

no dominion can be summoned into
war without its expressed permis-
sion. But the dominions remain
loyal. In a sense. they exchange
loyalty for the protection of the
British fleet.
There's the key to what Hitler has
done and is doing in the Balkans.
Caught in the hurricane of national
ism that his own agents famed too
soon into flame, Hitler is trying to
repair the damage by calling his ac-
QUESTIONS "protectorates" and grant,
ing them autonomy.
He has cut leaf out Of the Brit
ish book, and pasted it up on his
office wall. But will nationalism in
the Balkan states give him time to
make good in the solid, British way?
The historian tells you that his
record is against him. He works too
fast.

Roads Bureau Chief Hits
Toll Highway Proposal

By the Associated Press.
, Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of
the Bureau of Public Roads, con-
tends a proposed system of criss-
cross continental highways would
not solve the Nations traffic prob
lem.
1--WE definitely recommend against
a system of transcontinental toll
highways" Mr.. Macdonald told a
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tee in hearings made public yester-
day.
Our position is, as we have been
convinced through the years, that
highways should first be developed
to take care of local traffic =
and get our long distance highways
by extension of these roads,
He said, however, that so-called
"superhighways" in short sections
such as between st. Louis, Mo-, and
Kansas City or between Baltimore
and Philadelphia-could be sup
ported by tolls.

Gloritying Yourself
By ALICIA HART

thin oils, too. One night cream feels on the skin like thin film of vanishing cream, and it disappears almost immediately. You might like to try an oil which may be snoothed or patted in for five minutes, then wiped off. KEEP SKIN
 TONIC COLD
 Among the cooling masks are mint-scented ones and some which do not dry during the twenty min- utes they are to be left on. Also a mask which is nothing more than a face-shaped piece of pink cloth, sat- urated with a cooling lotion which does an excellent job of revitalizing tired skin. For tired, burning eyes, there are special eye pads, also sat- urated with efficacious lotion.
 It's an excellent idea to keep your bottle of skin tonic in the ice box. Use it after you have cleaned your face and throat, and let it dry naturally instead of pat- ting it in or plotting off the ex- cess.
 Be sure your hand lotion is non-sticky, that your nail polish is lght-colored and looking. Treat your hands more carefully than ever. Stained knuckles, rag ged cuticle and splitting nails seem to look even worse when the wealth CT is hot and only the perfectly groomed woman appears. and there fore feels, reasonably cool and com- fortable.

 forget, will you? Bob's coming out from town and promised him we'd go fishing"
 Junior went to bed, fully confident that his father would keep his word. But company came and no one thought anything more about fat, juicy worms.
 In the morning the boy came down expecting to see his bait can occupied by a wriggling cargo. Mo- body home. The can was empty and dad had gone 10 work. AS it happened, however, Bob telephoned that he could not come that day. Next day he would be out.
 The same argument took place. At midnight, Father thought about the bait, but he said weariiy, Those kids can use bugs. I'm too tired to take out a fashlight now and go snooping for worms"
 Mother said, "But you did prom ise, Henry. am afraid Junior will lose his faith"
 Faith nothing" retorted Father. Boys have to learn to take things as they come. A little disappoint- ment is good for them"
 of course. But that is differ ent from a promise given as posi-
 lively as you gave yours. Here, let me have that light"
 Next morning Junior was thrilled to see his can filled with wet grass and worms. His mother did not tell. That is what many mother does isn't it? When Bob came, Junior bragged about the father who would take all that trouble for his boy.

CAN THE STOMACH STRETCH
 OR SHRINK?

A brawn lad, double for Adonis, drove a brewery truck. He was a jol- ly, good natured type and never could say no. How much, beer he consumed in the course of days work was always rather vague. But periodically attended him for att tacks of indigestion" On these oc- casions, my hand to it, the lad would collapse utterly and at a sim gle siphonage we would decant a gallon of beer from his stomach. Within an hour or so sometimes he would voluntarily boop up another quart or more, just to show he could take 1t. What ailed the lad was gas- trectasia. That means stretched, di- lated, enlarged, ballooned stomach. Probably his stomach was perrna- nently or chemically dilated. The periodic seizures were due to acute or sudden dilatation.
 At that time practically nothing was known about the nature or cause of chronic gastrectasia or acute gastrectasia. A standard textbook of the time gave the sug- gestion that one cause of chronic enlargement or stretching of the stomach was relative or absolute insufficiency of the muscular power of the stomach, due on the one hand to repeated overfilling of the organ with food and drink, and on the. other. to atony (which means loss of tone) of the coats induced by chronic inflammation or degen- eration of impaired nutrition. " ,"
 To that we can say today "Pret- ty good, Johnny. but that ain't the way we see it."
 Today we would begin with im- paired nutrition. In short it is the fundamental cause of the relative or absolute insufficiency of the muscular power of the stomach and the intestine, which is almost universal and is expressed in the complaints weak digestion" or "poor assimilation" and 'constipa- tion." The specific nutritional de- ficiency concerned is lack of enough vitamins in, the everyday diet of the great majority of people; sec- ondarily, perhaps, as a direct con- sequence of lack of vitamins, there is faulty assimilation or utilization of minerals, as will appear later.
 Many individuals who have fol- lowed the rejuvenation diet Gas given in "The 2 Keys to Vite," 70-page 25-cent booklet on what it takes to remain young and keep welD for a month or two notice that they no longer crave such quantities of refined carbohydrate items as they did when they were training for premature old age, and they ask whether the stomach has shrunk.
 The stomach has not shrunk. But with increased tone or elas- ticity or resiliency in the muscle coat of the stomach and intestine, the agreeable sense off fullness and satisfaction which normally or in- stinctively tell animal or man when to stop eating comes when a reasonable amount of food has been taken. that is all.
 The little lesson in physiology hope every reader will get from this is as practical as it is logical If you eat more than is necessary for maintenance of normal nutri- tion, as evidenced by the super fluous flesh you carry, the first corrective step you should take is to boop your daily intake of the key vitamins, namely, vitamin B complex and sunshine vitamin D.
