A MUSIC-LOVING NATION
To err is human, and so is talking about oneself.
People prefer talking of themselves to others than to
hearing others introspect out loud, and they take just
as great delight in singing the praises of their country.
During his relatively short life the American eagle
has done his share of shrieking about himself and yet
there have been times when he has, with commendable
modesty, depreciated his own virtues or admitted super
iority in others.
One peculiarly apt illustration concerns the position
of the American people in the world of music. For a
number of years perfectly loyal Americans have con
tended that Americans as a nation do not love music aa
do some of the peoples of Europe. American tourists
Who have heard the great community song festivals
held annually in Wales have lamented their absence in
the United States, and American visitors to Germany
reproach their own country because grand opera is
more profitable in small German towns than in the
largest American cities.
That these criticisms are unjust is self-evident. A
more music loving people than this is inconceivable.
Community-sings and opera concerts may be more pop
ular abroad than hero but these are necessarily few in
number even in Europe, while a constant stream of
music is poured into American homes by the piano,
radio, phonograph and other musical instruments. It is
significant that the world’s largest manufacturers of
musical instruments have their factories in the United
States and that this country spends billions
in the music stores found in every town boasting of one
or more cross-roads.
Because this country does not woo Orpheus in the 1
manner to which he is accustomed across the waters it
is not to be presumed the god of music is better courted
abroad.
WHY PEOPLE VOTE
The National Get-Out-the-Vote Club has been study
ing the relation of the popular vote to the number of
eligible voters in each state with interesting results.
It has discovered that in South Carolina 6.5 per cent
of the cligiblSs go to the polls, while in Wyoming the
percentage is 77.2. The average throughout the country
in 1924 was 53.7, while in 1920 it was just under 50 per
cent. In none of the southern states the figures of
which are given did 15 per cent of the voters go to the
polls.
The reason for the small percentage in South Caro
lina and the Urge percentage in Wyoming is not far to
seek. The southern state is overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. Coolidge polled 1123 votes there in 1924, and
the vote for Davis was 49,008. Every voter in South
Carolina knew that Davis would carry the state. Only
those who are interested in party take the
trouble to vote. The rest do not trouble themselves with
the matter, knowing that their votes will not affect the
result in any way. In Wyoming in 1924 thsre was a
contest. No one knew what the outcome would he. A
Democrat was elected governor by 43,323 votes, against
55£75 for tho Republican candidate. Coolidge polled
41,858 votes for the presidency, while LaFollette re
ceived 25,174 and Davis only 12,863. A vote meant
Something in Wyoming.
No homilies shout the importance of voting are likely
to impress tho Democrats of South Carolina. Every
urging to vote will be met with the rejoinder, “What is
the uae?” When the result is known from the be
ginning, it is impossible by talking about civic duty to
persuade people to bestir themselves. People do not
.vote from a sense of civic duty. They vote when an is
sue in which they are interested is in doubt The won
der is that ao many vote when there is no uncertainty
Shout the outcome.
A POLICE SERGEANTS BRAVE FIGHT
Now and then we road of police deeds of heroism, the
sarlng of a drowning person, disarming of a bandit or
a thrilling rescue from a burning building. But the
brave fight of Sergeant Arthur Roth of Cleveland has
been carried on in a different way—the saving of chil
dren in the rushing traffic of the city streets and the
sergeant lies seriously ill as a result of his struggle.
Three youngsters were killed in four consecutive days
bn the streets and Sergeant Roth’s nerves left him. He
lies seriously ill from a nervous breakdown as Cleve
land’s traffic toll for 1988 mounts past 140 lives. For
IS bouts a day Sergeant Both has carried on a campaign
! of education—showing his films end giving lectures in
v the schools by day and putting on the same show for
: the truck drivers of big companies by night. The ser
geant, a lover of children, put his whole heart into Us
work, and after automobile wheels during the first half
of August had crushed out the lives of more than half
a down little ones, he fell stricken.

on the gas in an effort to beat signal lights, who pur

806 CIGARETB APIECE
Records.of the Internal Revenue Department reveal
that the American people in the past year smoked the
astounding number of 100,000,000,000 cigarets— more
than 800 apiece.
That seems like a perfectly enormous number of
cigarets. At first glance one would think that the
number must be away too high. But on examination it
becomes more reasonable.
Figure it out. The average confirmed clgaret smoker
consumes about a package a day—2o cigarets. Multi
plied by 365, this becoiqes 7,300 cigarets a year. Divide
100 billion by this figure and you get not quite
13,700,000 aa the number of steady cigaret smokers in
the land.
And that, out of a total population of 120,000,000,
isn’t ao bad.
MORROW A GREAT DISCOVERY
The wisdom of President Coolidge’s appointment of
Dwight T 7. Morrow as ambassador to Mexico was
doubted by many at the time it was made. Morrow was
a Wall Street financier and it was feared his banking
connections would tend to make trouble with our neigh
bor to the south.
Such has not been the case. Morrow has apparently
forgotten hat he ever had a penny in Wall Street, and
ha has shown excellent sense and discretion and fairness
in dealing with Mexico. The country has come to look
upon him as a good friend.
Recently Morrow traveled about the country and his
welcome everywhere was cordial and sincere. He has
established good relations. Mr. Morrow, as an am
bassador htu proved to be a great discovery.
Editorial Comment
OFFENSES TO THE EVE
(The New York Times)
In the debate of the Institute of Public at the
University of Virginia about roadside advertising the
point was made by the spokesman for the billboard in
terests that while the industry favored restricting the
use of billboards to “commercial districts” it felt justi
fied in erecting them on all highways traversed by
heavy trucks. Tho argument ran that these roads were
used for business purposes. Even though this is some
what 4n conflict with a definition of a “commercial dis
trict” made by this same spokesman as a district
. largely used for business conducted on the premises,”
't apparently represents an effort to define the limita
tions aa viewed by the billboard industry.
. Duly a moment's thought is necessary to see that this
is tantamount to a reversal of the avowed program of
eliminating features to which objection could be brought
by reasonably minded persons. It also strikes a blow
at tha policy of aelf-regulation so strongly advocated
by supporters of the use of billboards. This sort of con
trol is really no control at all, for the reason that it is
on the main traveled highways that the nuisance is
greatest, and yet it is precisely these which the billboard
industry chooses to consider “commercial districts.”
In urging further regulation by law, Mrs. W. L. Law
ton, Chairman of the National Committee for Restric
tion of Outdoor Advertising, stressed the necessity of
appealing to the police power to abate offenses to the
eye. She pointed out that offenses to the nose and the
ear are now so dealt with, and reminded her hearers
that it had taken a long fight to persuade the courts
to uphold that policy. She further dwelt, op the fact
that the Government taxes us to pay for beautification
of public monuments and places. Is it logical that it
should not have the power to protect the beauty which
is already in existence ?
To the credit of the billboard industry it must be
said that it has done much to improve the appearance of
roadside signs. But what the public demands is not so
much improvement of quality aa restriction of quantity.
People wish existing signs removed and no others,
whether beautiful or not, put in their place. This is
an idea which haa apread far and wide throughout the
country. It has the support not only of countless civic
organizations, but of national advertisers as well. It
represents a definite sentiment of the American people
that the country roads must no longer be defaced by
billboards, no matter how “artistic” or how unobtru
sively placed. There has been a marked growth of pub
lic opinion during the last Tew years since the anti
billboard campaign was started. The movement is as
yet only in its infancy, but it is “going strong.”
WHEAT POOLS AND PRICES
, (St. P4ul Dispatch) *
It ia not in the United States alone that low prices
for wheat art being severely felt. Announcement is
made by the Canadian Wheat Pool that initial pay
ment to members for this year's crop now being har
vested will be 86 cents par bushel aa compared with 81
per bushel for the past four years. This is on the basis
of No. 1 Northern at Fort William.
Initial payment does not necessarily determine final
settlement price, but it does indicate the depressing ef
fect of added production in many countries, particularly
m the Canadian Northwest provinces. The United
States Department of Agriculture forecasts an increase
of 73 million bushels in 20 countries of the northern
hemisphere, moat of which will come out of Canada.
This ia leas than 8 per cent of the total, and may well
cause wonder that so relatively small a surplus should
cause so Urge a decline in price.
On the Minneapolis Board of Trade yesterday wheat
closed at sl.lO per bushel, 23 cents lower than on the
same day last year. In Winnipeg wheat was sl.lß, or
28 cents lower than last year. An increase of 8 per
cent in Minneapolis price and 25 per cent in Winnipeg,
price. This disparity ia out of bounds if world condi
tions of supply and demand over the year are taken into
consideration. There must be other influences con
tributing to present pries depression, particularly aa the
well informed Department of Agriculture asserts that
the increase in supply will, bo largely offset by in
creased demand and other factors.
On every trading exchange, whether it be of securi
ties or of commodities, excessive dumping will break the
price level of any article. That ia what is happening
today in the wheat market. The American farmer,
mostly unorganised, acting independently and forced to
aeu at the period of heaviest harvesting, bears down the
market with a whole season's product dumped in a few
weeks.
To overcome this unfavorable condition, large num
bers of Canadian fanners organised themselves into n
wheat pool that takes over their crop and supervises an
orderly marketing system. The pool cannot control the
J«vel hut it can save the individual farmer from
sacrificing his product at a time of lowest price, by hold
ing a large proportion for distribution and sale through
out the year.
Announcement ia made by the Canadian pool that final
settlement for the 1927 crop just made gave members
$1.40 per bushel. This was in spite of tha large carry
over from the previous year. w We start the new crop

managers. This certainly ia a tribute to effective man

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON!
g, iJEyrTEJA/ji
BY RODNEY DUTCHER *
(NEA Service Writer)
Washington, Sept. 4.— Proposals
for a Nicaraguan canal to be started
in the next few years probably are
inspired more by military than by
commercial motives.
There is no indication that the
Panama Canal is fast approaching
its maximum carrying capacity.
That time is likely not to come be
fore the year 2000, if ever, although
the matter is conjectural.
The canal now handles about 45
per cent of its present minimum ca
{>acity. If and when a third set of
ocks is built, as was contemplated
in the original plans for the ditch,
it will be able to take care of more
than four times as many ships as
are now using it.
Tonnage passing through the ca
nal has shown a steady growth in
the last few years, but a saturation
point may be reached easily within
the next few years. One estimate
has been made that the capacity of
the canal as it is would not be
reached until about 1960—and if a
third set of locks were constructed
meanwhile that capacity would be
doubled.
Officials of the canal, who cite
these facts, do not understand the
persistent agitation for a canal
through Nicaragua.
The most seaworthy argument in
favor of a second canal, however, is
made from the standpoint of mili
tary strategy and the national de
fense. It ‘s held that in event of
war against the United States the
canal might be put out of commis
sion, with disastrous possibilities
for our navy. Hence, wouldn't it be
much safer J .o have a second canal
to fall back on in an emergency?
* * *
It will doubtless occur to the
reader that if the Panama Canal
can be blown up or bottled up, the
same thing might be done to any
Nicaraguan canal. Nevertheless, the
argument is that two canals are bet
ter than one and that in the unlikely
event that an earthquake should
some time destroy one, the other in
all probability would be left intact.
It is not difficult to demonstrate
OUR BOARDING HOUSE
’Way Down Yeast!
that if, in war or peace, there is dan
ger to the present canal, a second
canal which would guarantee a canal
in perpetuity, come what might,
would be worth the cost. The cost of
a Nicaraguan canal, incidentally, is
estimated as high as a billion dol
lars.
In 1927 5,475 ships went through
the Panama Canal. This was the
peak, but it was only 245 more than
in 1924, and since 1914 four years
have shown fewer transits than the
year preceding.
In the last session of Congress a
resolution was introduced directing
the chief of army engineers to
study both the Nicaraguan canal
route and the enlargement of the
Panama Canal by another set of
locks. The resolution was lost in
the shuffle. »
* a *
Meanwhile, the officials of the
Panama Canal are confining them
selves to their next big task, which
is not concerned with enlargement
or new canals. This is the bnildin-r
of the Alhajuela dam in the Chagres
river which will hold back 22,000,-
000,000 cubic feet of water for use
in an emergency. An abnormally
dry season might cause a water
shortage. The new dam will contain
the necessary water in that case.
Surveys are now in progress and
the dam probably won’t be finished
for another four or five years. It
will be 170 feet high, lodged between
high cliffs. Its basin will cover 22
square miles, running outside the 10-
mile stretch of the Canal Zone, which
runs through the Republic of Pana
ma. As was the enlargement of the
canal, this dam was provided for in
the original plans.

SUN BATHING
When you are contemplating a sun
bath, either in the nude or at the
beach, it is well to keep in mind the
fact that an overdose of the sun’s
rays is always injurious.
I find that many people suffer
from the mistaken belief that if a
little sunshine is good, a great deal
is better. Extreme sunburn is often
very dangerous, as the skin becomes
so swollen and injured by the burn
that the proper elimination of the
poisons, which are normally dis
charged through the pores, cannot
take place. This has a disastrous
effect upon the kidneys.
Even a faint glow of sunburn on
the skin affects the body in a pro
portionate manner, and is injurious
as long as it lasts. It is much bet
ter to measure one's sunbath over
several exposures and receive an in
creasing tan each time, than to try
to become burnt through the effects
of only one or two sunburns.
One whose skin is well tanned has
benefited by the ultraviolet rays
of the sun which are needed to pro
duce such a dark color." However,
the mere darkening of the skin is of
no benefit but must be considered
only as a necessary change which
occurs to the skin as a protection
against too much sunlight.
In taking your sunbaths, remem
ber that the sunlight must strike the
body directly without the obstruc
tion of clothing or even glass, which
would divert the ultra-violet rays.
Heating the. body with sunlight
through clothing is of no more ben
efit than heating from a stove.
It is well to time yourself at first
so that you do not take an overdose
of this valuable remedy and increase
the time of treatment as your skin
gradually tans.
When taking a sunbath, one should
avoid overheating, which is indi
cated by a quickening of the pulse.
When this occurs, quietly rest in the
shade for a time before finishing
your regular time of exposure.
Sometimes people bathing on the
beach are sunburned on a cloudy day
because they do not feel the heat of
the sun. This is because the ultra
violet rays which produced the burn
do not warn the skin, but do pene
trate through the clouds and moist
air. If you wish to stay on the
beach for a long time without being
sunburned, it is wise for you to ex
pose your body to the sun for only
a short time, and fpr the remaining
period keep it covered with a blanket
or robe. In this way many hours
can be spent on the beach so that
one can benefit from and enjoy the
inhalation of the clean, fresh, moist,
salt air.
Nude sunbathing is now being rec
ognized by all physicians for dis
eases such as anemia, tuberculosis,
rickets, asthma, catarrh, chronic ton
sillitis, and disorders of metabolism,
such as nephritis and diabetes. There
is a German proverb that states that
the hearse calls twice as often on
tne shady side of the street as on
that which is more favored by the
sunshine.
The modern bathing suit has
taught us to cultivate bodies more
beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Even in ordinary street clothes, the
women of today have adopted such
practical styles that the air circu

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: A. H. writes: “I am
seventy-three years old, and am
bothered with a twitching or jerking
in my legs when retiring, sometimes
keeping me awake for an hour or >
more. Will you please let me know '
the cause, also if there is a remedy?”
Answer: The jerking in your legs
is doubtless caused by a poor circula
tion of blood. I would advise you to
take some exercises about an hour
before retiring. After the exercises,
sit in a tub of warm water, immers
ing the legs in the water for about
two or three minutes. This will help
the circulation and should prevent
the jerking. N lf you will write me in
care of this newspaper inclosing a
large, stamped, self-addressed en
velope, I will be glad to send you a
special chart of exercises without
charge.
Question: Mrs. M. C. asks: “What
is the best method of keeping
grapes ?”
Answer: Sound grapes may be
kept in good condition for a
time by wrapping each bunch in
waxed paper. After tying the ends
they should be placed on some soft
material, such as cotton batting, and
kept in a cool place. They may also
be packed in California redwood sawV>
dust and stored in a cool place. An
other method, frequently used in Eu
rope, is to place the stock of each
bunch of grapes in a small bottle of
water containing a piece of char
coal. If a temperature of about
38 degrees is maintained, they will
keep in good condition for a long
time.
Question: Ruth asks: “What would
you think best to do for sciatic rheu
matism ? The party in question has
been in bed close to four years with
it. He is on a milk diet now.”
Answer: What is called "sciatic
rheumatism” may be due to an in
flammation of the sciatic nerve afl|i
caused by rheumatic toxins; or/'tnp
nerve may be pinched some place be
tween where its branches emerge
from the lower spine. An osteopath
or chiropractor could quickly correct
the trouble if it is caused by pinched
nerves, and a diet to cure rheuma
tism would bring about a cure of the
trouble if it is caused by the rheu
matic toxemia.
