CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON i___ - - -- ■ . ; Going Back to the Rivers Rivers and harbors legislation laid before congress, j mainly in the form of appropriations, bring conspicuously to the fore the new creed of waterway improvement. It I repeats on a greater scale the activities of the 30.'. 40 and 50’s for canals and railroads. Then the program ol transportation improvement agitated mainly the states. Now through President Hoover s pronouncement for ex pansion of internal waterway extension, the program of a national character. It is as though the present agitation were repetition by cycle of that earlier eagerness to advance beyond the stage coach and the Conestoga wagon, the ox-cart and the prairie schooner. The cast-ofl means of other da\o has been discovered to possess still further usefulness. It is being enlisted in service again because a national necessity in transportation seems to have arisen and new adaptations of inland navigation make possible the res toration of the river boats, not the old packers, how ever. but the gasoline tows. Colonel Frayne Baker, addressing the Rotary club las* week, said the cargoes of the old Missouri river boat; used to cost $15,000 in freight charges per thousand tons when brought up here from St. Louis. That was too costly to withstand the competition of the railroads, and the boats were driven out of the business. The new barge system has solved sonic of the problems of cost, and freight movement by water is no longer prohibitively expensive. Rail shipment of farm products has in the meantime mounted so in cost that the grain growers and shippers of the Northwest are more and more convinced that the problem demands restoration of water traffic. With the completion of the Ohio river nine-foot chan nel. now operating so successfully, the projects dealing with the Mississippi and the Missouri come to the fore. The rivers and harbors appropriation bill carries $lO,- 050.000 for improving the Missouri north from St. Louis in the next two years. This is but a beginning on the Big Muddy. Under the Hoover plan it is plain that subsequent bills arc likely to provide for an extension of the work so la authorized. There is hope that the deepening and revetting may extend to Pierre and then to Bismarck. The rumblings of this hope arc being heard here already in the growing opposition to diverting the waters of the Missouri at Garrison and turning a portion of the flow into the Sheyennc river and Devil's Lake. The Associa tion of Commerce here has gone on record against Uv> diversion. The slogan is “Keep what you've got.' A very interesting and comprehensive history of Amer ica could be written simply by telling the history ol the nation’s rivers. In each case the story is something like the story of the Ohio. First a tliln filtering-through ot daring explorers and fur traders, in canoes and flat boats; then a great flood of steamships, bearing settlers mH manufactured goods and taking out foodstuffs, lum ber. and other raw materials; and then, with the com ing of the railroads and the automobiles, a long declUic sometimes bringing the absolute death of river traffic. Our railroads now arc more efficient than ever before. Motor trucks are carrying a constantly-grcater total of freight. Airplanes are providing a new form of speedy transport. Yet—the rivers are coming back. This is a return—figuratively, at least—to the condi tions of a century ago; yet it also indicates the begin ning of a new epoch in our history. In the old days the rivers became highways because they were cheap and convenient. When better means of transportation were effected the rivers were in large part abandoned. Who wanted to travel or ship his goods by a wheezy old packet when a railroad train would make the trip In a quarter of the time But now we have a new condition. We have filled up the country—come of age, so to speak. We have filled things up so thoroughly that it is becoming necessary for us to use every form of transportation available. Re turning to the rivers to ship our freight does not mean that the railroads will suffer; it simply means that there Is enough freight to be moved to make it worth our while to use every means at hand in the moving of it— railroad, auto trucks, airplanes, steamers and barges. The coming to life of the Ohio, the Mississippi and the Missouri is highly significant. A new era is begin ning. It is paralleling the first stages of the era that has ended—yet, at the same time, it is vastly different. And that difference represents an enormous advance in , the progress of the American people. - _ - - Salvation Army Hard Pressed Conditions imposing a great handicap on the relief work of the loeal Salvation Army have been uncovered by investigations of one of the leading workers among the women’s clubs of the city.

Meanwhile the kettle receipts are corn inn in slowly and the relief work promises to be cramped.

Sets Peace Pace When tlie richest and most powerful nation in the world, the nation that could build the largest army and deadliest navy if it chose to do so. voluntarily doc» everything within its power to relieve the civilized world of the burden of preparedness and war. it becomes ap parent that progress is being made in the direction of permanent world peace and a new brotherhood of man. On this question of limitation of arms and world amity the Hoover administration cannot be charged with a do nothing policy. It has already shown a willingness to go more than half way to bring about an international relationship which undoubtedly would benefit other powers more than it possibly could the United States. America's motives arc unselfish. The first evidence of the new aggressiveness at Wash ington came when Hugh S. Gibson made an important concession at the Geneva preparatory conference on disarmament. The second came when discussion turned to the draft of a treaty on limitation of arms. Both times almost certain deadlock was avoided by the eager ness of the American representatives to give almost any thing and everything rather than see everything lost. Then came the Kellogg peace pact and the Hoovcr- MacDonald decision to hold another naval limitation conference, that set for January 20 at London. America is setting an example which must remove the last doubt abroad of her sincerity. Where is there an other nation that can claim as much? Harvest of Auto Skids Scarcely a day passes without newspaper notice ot automobile skids with serious or tragic consequences. This is the harvest time of year for that sort of acci dent. That there should not be more such accidents is no more surprising than that there should be as many. Motorists ought to know* the hazards of winter driving and govern themselves accordingly. The skid is a treacherous risk of the winter road. It is invariably un expected and once started the driver is powerless. Nothing but extreme caution can be used against a slippery road. The driver who races over a slippery surface is a superlative fool. All science has done for brakes and all that highway service has done for rough ing icc will not overcome recklessness on the part of the driver. The safety of winter driving is up to the drive-* more than anything else. Gome people wonder why they don't get on when they arc merely trying to get by. Editorial Comment Resisting the Corn Borer (St. Paul Dispatch) The corn borer which has been ravaging the fields of America as far west as the borders of Michigan and Illinois is to be stopped by making corn unpalatable to it. A. R. Marsdon. superintendent of the state experi ment station at Munroe. Michigan, has Just announced the development of a new strain of com which the borer will not touch. The new corn was planted in alternate rows with existing varieties. The insect preferred the old and left the new strain decidedly alone. The experiments which covered a period of three years seem to have been based on cross-breeding of standard American varieties with what is called “maize amargo.' a corn from South America. The word “amargo" is Spanish and means “bitter." Science has found that the borer has a sweet tooth and evidently has countered by creating a corn whose stalk and cob taste like worm wood but whose kernels are satisfactory for human and animal consumption. As a marketable quantity of the new corn will not be available for five years, the fight against the westward trek of the corn borer will have to continue for some time on the old lines. Invention and Salesmanship (Minneapolis Journal) Nicolai Tesla complains that Edison is getting all of the credit, he none, for the instrumentality of electric light and power. The Edison lamp, says Tesla, was well known and even patented years before Edison adapted it. Moreover, says this complainant, the Edison scheme of lighting was “subject to fatal limitations and has been almost wholly displaced by a more practical and effi cient system" based on the Tesla magnetic field. Hence Tesla regards his system as mere important than the incandescent lamp. Edison’s work, says Tesla, deserves unlimited praise as it applies to his vigorous pioneering, “but all that he did was wrought in known and passing forms." It was, he remarks, "more the performance of an extra ordinarily energetic and horse-sensed pioneer than that of an inyentor." All of Tesla's animadversions may be true. But he overlooks one other quality. Edison has sold his output, where it had not before been on the market. He is an illustration of the value of well considered promotion based on self confidence and evoking confidence in others, notably the common run of mankind. Tesla may be ever so Inventive a scientist, he may have done things without which Edison might not have succeeded. But Edison sold his stuff. A Limit to Tall Buildings (New York World) Announcement is made that plans are nearing com pletion for a new “tallest building in the world." This Is the Empire State tower on the Waldorf-Astoria site, to be erected by the company of which Former Governor Smith is president. It is to be eighty-five stories in height, towering UOO feet above the curb. It does not follow that another still loftier structure will presently eclipse the score. Indeed, it Is possible that even the proposed height sacrifices something economically, presumably reckoned as an offset to advertising value. It was not for lack of ability to go higher that the Wool worth building remained unrivaled for sixteen years. Extremely high buildings are economically pos sible only upon very costly ground, and even upon such ground have definite practical limitations. Building costa per unit Increase as stories multiply. The duration of pro longed elevator trips cuts into the time of tenants. But the great drawback to unlimited upward growth is the demand made upon the mace of the more routable floors near the ground to install elevators for reaching lam desirable suite* farther up. Long before the entire ground floor * claimed for such uee the economic limit must have been reached. What is that limit in stories? Harvey Wiley Corbett, the former champion of the skyscraper, finds that it oc curs at shout the seventy-fifth story. "Above that point the return on the investment begins to dtaninhfe." And men will not build the perfectly prnsthnbls Watery tower at a loss.

HEAUH/NET ADVICE Srt Di» Frank McCov , THE CURE OF DEAFNESS (Third article of series) Besides its use for hearing, the ear is also a direction guide. The ear canals serve as a kind of compass. They are made in the form of tubes so arranged that they report on any conceivable position that the body may be tilted in. The tubes are filled with a fluid which contains a very fine gravel. When the body is turned very rapidly so that the fluid is put into motion, one may receive mistak en reports and you undobutedly have noticed that after you are whirled until you are dizzy and open your eyes, the world will seem to be re volving around you in the opposite direction. ✓ It is on account of their exceeding ly sensitive car canals that carrier pigeons can find their way for long distances, but should one ear canal be temporarily blocked off the pigeon can no longer fly in a straight line but will fly in circles. The ear also registers to some ex tent the internal pressure, and in high blood pressure it is very likely to report the fact to you by buzzing or ringing. The popular idea that anyone who is deaf has only to go up in an aeroplane and take a nose dive to have the hearing restored is not a sound one, although it has worked in a few cases, usually temporarily, when the eustachian tube was blocked. It is stated that Thomas Edison pre fers to be deaf, as doctors have told him that an operation would likely restore his hearing. He would rather the distracting sounds of the world be blocked from his attention, thus leaving his mind free from distract ing sounds so it can do its best and most efficient thinking. Although he hears to a limited extent, and enjoys popular music, it is true that the man who gave to the world one of the most popular musical instruments, the phonograph, cannot, himself, hear the records in their full vol ume. The catarrhal inflammation of the middle ear which is the most common cause of deafness can be readily Straws demanf*rl "Practically nout at an. t lie ten ant of the front apartmeut on the second floor told police that be heard the faint rlrglng of a door* bell In the rear apartment about I:JO that Sunday morning.

"When he went out for breakfast about 10 minutes later, he says, he heard and saw no one As a matter ot fact, the murderer could not have picked a better time to eater and escape unobserved. New York Is still asleep at 9 o'clock on Sunday. The Graves girl—police placed her age st about 29—was dressed In nightgown and kimono. Evidently she had risen from bed to answer the doorbell, rung by the fake epe ctal delivery postman. Poet oOce records showed no such letter had been received for her." • e • “W H 0 discovered the crime?" " Strewn asked. "Mies Graves' first assistant de signer at the hat shop, it seeau that Sally had asksd b*u friend— using the word la n loose sense, since she did not make a real friend of anyone, apparently—to have Sum day breakfast with bsr at II o'clock. The two girls wore going to make new summer hats for themselves— a sort of busman's holiday—and the young assistant brought some ot the materials with hsr. When she could not arouse Miss Graves she became alarmed, and asked the Janitor to opea the door with his passkey.

Of ten one short fast is all that Is need- *■ ed for a cure at the beginning of catArrhal deafness, but after the con dition has existed for years, it may be necessary to use short fasts about > a month apart for at least a year. In addition to the fasting regime, severe cases of catarrhal deafness may require treatments to drain the lymph glands below the ear and to clear out the Eustachion tubes. Sometimes pneumatic vibration of the ear drum is helpful in restoring the elasticity of the tissues and of course, if there is ear-wax this should be syringed out. Manipulative treatment of the neck seems to be of especial benefit in many cases of deafness which would not otherwise respond, and I would advise every one who is troubled with , deafness to try these methods before I* giving up hope of having the hearing restored. After the catarrhal deafness has been overcome, it must be remember ed that there still exists for a time a tendency toward a return of the trou ble, and for this reason the sugars and starches should be avoided in the after-diet.

O. asks: “What causes a young man to sleep with his eyes open? He Is in good health, pos sibly a little under weight." Answer:. I suppose you mean that the young man sleeps with eyes par tially open. This is considered due to enervation, and X am sure the young man cannot be in perfect health. There must be some weakness or lack of muscular control. drew Tonic) Question: R. 8. writes: “Please ad vise if iron as a tonic is really injur ious to the teeth, and if so, kindly N advise what way tame is best pre pared to take." Answer: There can be no question but that any iron tonic, at least when taken by mouth, Is injurious to the teeth. The results from the use of all iron remedies are always more or less of a delusion as the temporary effect cannot make up for the bad after effects of the use of iron or any other metals as medicine. The only iron needed in the body is that se cured from such vegetables as spin ach the celery which contain iron in an organic form, the only way is stored for assimilation and to be tak en up by the blood. (Tubercular Spleen) Question: Constant Reader asks: . “Is there such a thing as a tubercu- < ~ l&r spleen, and if so, what would be the symptoms?" Answer: Tuberculosis of the spleen is a very serious disorder. Seme of the symptoms are the same as in tu berculosis of the lungs as, for In stance, the hectic fever.
