Strong in Defeat
When Bismarck went down to defeat on the gridiron
at Fargo as the sun sank Friday afternoon, it marked
the close of an athletic epoch at Bismarck high school.
It marked the capital city’s first defeat on the gridiron
in three years and it practically put this year’s club out
of the running for the state high school championship.
To followers of the local team the defeat will be a
bitter blow, because all of us would have liked to see the
capital city’s record kept clear in this great sport just
as we like to see Bismarck and Burleigh county triumph
in other contests.
But it also is to be remembered that in every contest
where there is a winner there must also be a loser.
Enthusiastic as any one may be about football as a game
for boys to play or as a spectacle for grown-ups to
watch, we should not forget that it has more important
aspects than these.
To a large extent, these athletic contests are the
proving ground of young America. The battles on the
gridiron are comparable, in the lives of those who
participate, to the battles of the business, commercial,
social and political world which are to come in later life.
And in the game which we know as life, it is important
that our boys learn how to take defeat like real men.
We are certain that our boys gave their best at Fargo
and that, even though they lost, we have just as much
cause to be proud of them as if they had returned home
crowned with victory.
They lost like the fine, clean lads we know them to
be. If the story were otherwise, the chief lesson of this
greatest of high school and college sports would have
been missed completely.
All of us love a winner, but the people of Bismarck
are just as enthusiastic about its young athletes follow
ing this first defeat In three years as they ever were
after a victory.
It will be something of a test for Bismarck fans, too,
to teste the ashes of defeat In their mouths. We have
known victory for so long that we have come to accept
It pretty much as a commonplace. The hard-lost battle
at Fargo recalls to us that for every game won there
must be careful and adequate preparation and that
these games on the gridiron really are struggles in
which the valiant youths of both the losing and win
ning teams give full measure of their strength and heart
and courage.
We would have liked to see Bismarck’s banner tower
ing high above all others in the state but, since it did
not, we can take the consolation which always remains
to a good loser.
And, in the long run, to meet defeat now may be a
better experience for the boys who play on the local
team than an uninterrupted succession of victories.
It is easy to be strong in victory. It is a test of man
hood to be strong in defeat.
Investigation by experts has not been necessary to
prove to everybody that laws and more laws do not
cheek crime or lawlessness that is not exactly criminal
in intent and purpose, but that is due, in a very large
measure, to the multiplicity of laws.
Many people violate laws they do not know exist.
Others violate laws of which they know full well, but
which they do not respect and, therefore, feel they are
Justified in violating. Whatever the conditions under
which laws are broken every day and night, more and
more laws are being enacted and scarcely any repealed.
Law violations of every character are more numerous
now than In any time In the past. The increase In
population has not been as rapid as the Increase In
crime.
Laws at the rate of 1,500 a year are being enacted.
And lawlessness steadily keeps pace with the lawmakers.
It Is estimated that since the adoption of the consti
tution of the United States the laws passed In this
country have exceeded In number the total of all laws
enacted for the government of mankind from the time
of Adam to the Inauguration of George Washington.
Whether the calculator believed he was stating a fact
or merely resorted to hyperbole, the comparison admirably
describes what seems to be a mania among legislators.
If laws had the power they are supposed to have, with
the very great number on the statute books there ought
to be scarcely any crime In the United States. The fact
Is, however, this country has the unenviable reputation
of being the most lawless nation in the civilized world.
Imagine, If you can. men addicted to skirts and
todies to trousers, and imagine this state of affairs to
have existed for a thousand yean.
It would today be accepted as the wily right and proper
state of affairs. Daring ladles who elected to wear skirts
tnd daring men who adopted trousers would be frowned
upon end denounced. In the public eye they would be
either “eccentric" or “publioity seekers." As it always
has seemed and always will be, the custom generally
observed would be accepted as sanctified and Immutable.
hut for all their soft conformity the people in their
hearts would realise that the styles were not, in fact,
ordained of a heaven, and their service to the existing
order would be a lip service wily.
Now Imagine the coming of a critic—a devil-may-care
•Wow with a streak of humor In his make-up. He dis
covers that because man Is more active than woman
and trousers better suited to activity men should wear
the trousers and women the skirts. And he makes his
theory known to the great body of trouser-wearing
pmnen and skirt-wearing men.
For a time the people stand agape and then they
grin and timidly remark: “Why, the cuss is clever! A
knocker, to be sure, and not very respectable, but clever
- darned clever!" And the men keep right on wearing
the skirts and the women the trousers.
But why did the people call the critic clever if they
didn’t propose to adopt his suggestion? Merely because
he said right out In public what the people knew in
Iholr hearts but were afraid to admit they knew. That
Too Many Laws
Power of Custom
“cleverness” so largely consists of simple truth-telling
speaks ill of civilized man’s freedom from custom and
public opinion.
Frock Coats in Texas
Although we live in a time of chance and turmoil, all
is not yet lo6t. The old ways are vanishing fast, but
here and there a community stands out like a rock for
its traditional virtues. Texas, to be brief, is proving
a Gibraltar.
The other day Gene Howe, the Amarillo editor, invited
Mary Garden, the grand opera star, to a tea. He also
Invited some 40 leading Amarillo citizens to the tea, and
stipulated that they must wear frock coats so that the
occasion might be Just what a widely traveled grand
opera star could expect.
But—frock coats in Texas? The 40 guests searched
their wardrobes. No frock coats. They sped downtown
to the clothing stores. Not a frock coat was to be had.
The Panhandle has never found much use for them,
and the clothiers simply hadn’t stocked them. So, in
the end, the 40 Texans had to wire to effete Chicago
and have their frock coats sent down special delivery.
All of this, very likely, is relatively unimportant in a
day of great issues and knotty problems. But there is
something extremely encouraging about it, just the same.
The frock coat, a minor matter at best, is a symbol—
and so is the fact that the Texas Panhandle turned out
to be a frock coat-less area.
For the frock coat—what is it, anyway? A useless and
not particularly attractive item of wearing apparel, used
only on occasions where one must put on the dog. No
man dons one, ever, unless he has become citified and
fashion-conscious. It is out of place in the great open
spaces. Romance is not in it.
The arrival of the frock coat on any scene means that
frontier days are gone forever, and that the memory
of them has grown dim. The hardy pioneers, who
seldom shaved and dressed—if the old song is to be
believed—in leather breeches, would very likely have shot
any man who put on a frock coat in their presence.
And Texas is not just one of the 48 states in the Ameri
can union. It is—well, it is Texas, a state set apart,
a state with a great tradition. Texas is not supposed to
be citified. A Texan, whether he likes it or not, is sup
posed to be a brawny, two-fisted, energetic man who
can gallop from Fort Worth to the Rio Grande before
breakfast, shooting half a dozen Mexicans en route and
combining in his person the best features of Tom Mix,
Douglas Fairbanks and Sam Houston. Putting him in
a frock coat is like putting New York’s Jimmy Walker In
chaps and a sombrero. It goes against nature.
So, we repeat, it is comforting to find that Amarillo
can put on frock coats for a tea party only by virtue
of special delivery service from Chicago. To be sure,
after Mr. Howe’s party the Panhandle will be harboring
at least 40 frock coats, but the Panhandle is large, they
will not go far, and they will seldom be worn. Texas
is still Texas. Let us be thankful.
Lots of us are looking for the path of least per
sistence.

Editorial Comment
A Good Suggestion
(Williams County Farmers Press)
William G. McAdoo, one-time potent political figure
during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, makes a per
tinent suggestion in dealing with the unemployment
situation and the market price of wheat. McAdoo sug
gests that the surplus wheat be used to feed the unem
ployed rather than the cattle and hogs.
The government stabilizing corporation purchased mil
lions of bushels of wheat at the fixed price to stabilize
the market. The purchase was made with the taxpayers’
money. The taxpayer must foot the unemployment bill.
Why not take the wheat that he federal farm board
holds to feed the unemployed and at the same time
remove that much more wheat from the market, which
would be a great aid to the farmer?
People who live in rural districts and who have never
lived in cities during times of stress, can hardly conceive
the situation that is brought about where thousands of
people who depend on their livelihood from wages earned
from day to day, are thrown out of work. Perhaps too
few North Dakotans are aware of their enviable posi
tion in living in a poor man's state—so-called because
there are no men of great wealth, and because there is
little wealth comparatively, this state does not know
what an unemployment problem means. Henry Ford,
General Motors and other huge manufacturers or con
cerns could overnight throw half the numerical popula
tion of North Dakota out of work in some of the cities
where factories are located.
In New York city a committee of private citizens are
seeking to raise $150,000 per week for the employment
of 10,000 people. That sum, however, is pitifully in
adequate. In Cincinnati the city advertised for 3,000
people to do work—l2,ooo applied. In Detroit the police
and firemen are setting aside a percentage of their
wages to aid the destitute. But such measures, com
mendable as they are, are but makeshift at best.
The government has avowed its purpose of aiding agri
culture. It must take care of its unemployed in some
fashion or other. To take the 60,000,000 bushels that
the federal farm board has in store and feed the un
employed would be the means of killing two birds with
one stone. The surplus would be alleviated, the un
employed would be taken care of for the winter and the
natural swing of the pendulum would bring about a
resume of manufacturing and employment.
Mental Depressions
(New Leipzig Sentinel)
A year ago we were in the closing phases of the
greatest bull market America had ever seen. It seemed
that there would be no end to the steady upward march
of prosperity. There were many so enthusiastic as to
claim that the old economic laws had been repealed, that
America was too big for them and that there would never
be depression again.
We know now that such predictions were foolish, but
what we do not seem to realize is that the atmosphere
of depression pnd* pessimism which has enveloped the
country during the past few weeks is equally foolish.
Now there are prophets of disaster who tell us that
we have passed the meridian of progress for all time
to come, and that we will never be prosperous again.
Just what has happened to bring about this change
of sentiment? Undoubtedly the cau£e is the economic
depression and the slowing down of business which it has
brought with it. But it is to be remembered that we
have the same country, the same resources, the same
energetic intelligent people, the same potential buying
power that we had a year ago when it seemed that we
could never be stopped. What, then, is to prevent our
once more marching on the road to prosperity as we
were marching before?
The truth is that we are overly pessimistic now just as
we were overly optimistic a year ago. Then the optimists
would pay no attention to the sane minds who cautioned
them against over-expansion. Now they will pay no at
tention to sane and conservative minds who tell them
that one of the principal things retarding our recovery
is a pessimism as unreasoning as was the optimism of
a year ago.
We like to picture the Frenchman and the Italian as
the most volatile persons on earth. But our rebound
from the heights of optimism to the depths of despair
without any change in that government and its resources,
would indicate that there may be some weight to the
charge of certain Europeans that the most volatile people
are not to be found in Europe after all but in America.
Isn’t it about time we stop theorizing and get down to
brass tacks? Things aren’t as bad as most of us think
they are. Business will get better if we all work together
to help improve it. America is still the great country
that it always has been. Nothing has changed perma
nently. A part of the disease is undoubtedly mental.
That is the part which we can correct immediately.

BRANDFORD had hardly finished telling us about the
quarrel between Courtney and Jane Marsh when they
entered the room. Courtney looked nervous and frightened.
Jane Marsh was still cold and haughty, a demeanor that
had marked her every movement that night.
Their arrival in the studio produced a strained feeling.
No one said anything, and as soon as I could gracefully do
so, I got up and left the room.
I went down to the library on the
second floor. Marino and Mona De
vore were sitting on a couch-like
settee.
“What’s new?” Marino asked.
“Not a thing. When Is Murphy
coming back?”
“I don’t know anything about
Murphy.” I said. “I suppose he’ll be
back any time. Have you seen Dr.
Gray?”
“Yes. he was up here a little while
ago. He said Henry Carpenter was
in bad shape.”
“I think I’ll go down and see him.
The old man won’t live much
longer.”
I THE POISONED NEEDLE! !
“When are they going to take
Dorn’s body out of here?” Marino
asked. “It’s getting on my nerves.”
“They'll take It away in a little
while,” I answered.
“Hope so,” Marino groaned. “This
is terrible—leaving his body here
like this.”
“They’ll take it away. They’ll
have to examine it at the morgue
to see what kind of poison was used
to kill him.”
“They should have made sure
about the poison before they kept
us here,” Marino said with some
heat. “They don’t know yet whether
Dorn committed suicide or was mur
dered.”
“I think they know that,” I re
plied. “I think he was murdered,
all right, but I don’t see how it
could have been done.”
“It couldn’t have been done,”
Marino said. “It simply wasn’t done.
That’s all there is to it!”
Mona Devore was sitting close to
Marino. She was huddled up and
(looked at me out of a frightened pair
;of eyes. She looked like a scared
little chicken. I felt sorry for her.
It was a tough break for a kid like
her to be thrown into such a sordid
affair.
“It’ll all be over before long,
Mona,” I said, “Keep your mind off
of it. Why not try to go to sleep?”
A HAUNTED HOUSE?
Mona shuddered and then started
another one of her shaking spells.
“I’m scared,” she whispered. "I want
to get out of this dump.”
Marino patted her hand. He
looked scared and white.
“You can go when Murphy comes
back," I said, hoping to cheer her.
“I hope so." she said. “It’s terrible
—this house. It’s haunted."
“Haunted?” I asked. “You’re not
seeing things already, are you?
You’ll be cutting paper dolls before
the night’s over if you’re bearing
and seeing things now.”
“Mona claims she h, e * r d a groan
and some one wrlklng around down
in the cellar," Marino explained.
“We walked down to the first floor.
We didn’t like the idea of staying
here while Denny was lying in there,
stiff and cold."
“Mona may be right," I said.
“Something in that cellar scared
old Henry Carpenter into a stroke/*
“1 know I was right." Mona walled.
“I know 1 heard some one walking
down there. It didn’t sound human.
It was a dull, heavy tread—then
there was a groan and a cry. The
silence that followed was more ter
rible than the noise. This house is
haunted. If I ever get out of here
alive, I’m staying in my little sweet
t home—a hall bedroom at six a week.
' but it’s home."
“That noise could have come from
the first floor." Marino said. “Dr.
Gray is there with Carpenter and 1
think he has a nurse helping him.
Mona is Just nervous."
“You weren't there when 1 beard
that noise." Mona cried. “You were
up here. I heard it and it came
from the cellar. The stairway to the

“All right—you heard it,” Marino
snapped at her. “No use trying to
use intelligence with a woman.”

Mone retorted. “I heard something
and I’m not crazy yet. I don’t know
how long I’ll be sane but I haven’t

“Not yet, my dear, but soon,”

“When did you hear this noise,

“A few minutes ago. It was Just
a little while after I left the stumo.”
“I’m going down in that cellar be
fore the night’s over,” I said. “I’ll
see if there’s some one down there.”
“You’re welcome to go” Mona
said. “But don’t ask me to go with
you.”
“Me either,” Marino put in.
Mona looked at him with a sar
castic smile. “I thought you said
there wasn’t anything down there,”
she sneered. “What are you afraid
ef?”
“I’m not going down there.” Mar
ino said. “I don’t think you heard
anything, but I’m not going down

“What a brave, noble young man
you are,” Mona laughed.
‘Til try it myself.” I said. “If I
need any help. I’ll call.”
"And I’ll be deaf as a door nail,”
Mona said.
“All right,” I laughed. “I’m going
down to see Henry Carpenter first.
Then I'll visit toe cellar.”
MYSTERY FOOTSTEPS
Mona's story about toe groan and
the footsteps in toe cellar made me
feel a little eerie and nervous. I
had seen toe look on Henry Carpen
ter’s face and I was sure that there
was something or some one down
there. I had no Idea who it could be
or how the person could be connect
ed with the murder of Denny Dorn,
but I didn’t relish the idea of going
down in that cellar alone. I talked
bravely before Mona and Marino,
but I was far from feeling that
way.
A nurse in a snow-white uniform
met me at the door of Henry Car
penter’s bedroom. I was surprised
to see her. Marino had told me the
doctor had engaged one. but I had
forgotten about that.
I stared at her as if she were an
apparition.
“Do you wish to see Doctor Gray?"
sbe asked.
Bhe wasn’t a bad looking girl. I
Judged her to be bout thirty. There
were an ease and grace about her
movements and voice that were no
ticeable.
“I’d like to see how Henry Car
penter is getting along," I answered.
“There is no change." she said.
“I don’t think it advisable to disturb
him.”
Doctor Gray came to the door and
motioned for me to enter the room.
Tho nurse stepped aside and Dr.
Gray put his finger to his lips to
indicate silence.
The room was dimly lighted, but
In the flickering shadows I could
see the pale face of Henry Carpen
ter on the bed. His eyes were wide
open and staring at the ceiling.

was running down the comer oX his
mouth.
The nurse wiped It away. * Dr.
Gray took me to the far comer of
the room.
“Do you wish to see me?" he
asked. 4
I felt foolish. I had simply en
tered the room for no purpose at
all. I knew I had no business there
and that Henry Carpenter should
be kept away from everybody.
| A SPEECHLESS VICTIM |
“Has he talked yet?” I asked.
“Several things have happened that
Indicate he saw something In the
cellar." >
“He* hasn’t said a word yet—and
won’t.” *
The doctor talked in a low tone—
hardly louder than a whisper.*
“Have you heard any noises from
the cellar?” I asked.
“Why, no,” he answered quickly.;
I wouldn’t hear anything up here.”
“I think there Is something In;
that cellar. I think Henry Car-i
penter was frightened Into this
stroke.” \
“Perhaps he was, but I doubt It.”
“Is there any hope he’ll tldk
again?”
“Not for several days. He may:
then, but he may die before that.”
I looked over toward the bed. 1
The nurse was standing near It. I
could see the faint outline of the'
old man’s face. He was still staring
at the celling, his eyes pleading ana
sad. Behind that sadness lay some
secret If we knew what that was,
we might know something about
the murder of Denny Dora.
“If he does die, we will never,
know what he tried to say ” I said
in a low voice.
“No, we will never know," the
doctor replied. “But I can’t see how
this accident In the cellar could
be connected with Dora’s murder."
“Neither do I. He was down get
ting those bottles .filled when Denny
went into the closet.”
The doctor looked at his watch.
He didn’t tell me what time it was
and I didn’t ask him.
“I have to go now,” he said.
You had better leave the room.
Has Murphy returned yet?”
“No. Where did he go?"
“He went out to find out about
some things. I don’t know what,
but when he comes back, we will
know more.”
My heart sank. They would
likely all know one thing. They
would know where the green rope
came from.
The doctor walked over to ttie
nurse and said a few words. Then
he walked to the door. I followed
him. He went out of the house. A
policeman was standing at the door,
4
who eyed me closely, as if he sus
pected I was trying to escape.
When the doctor was gone, 1
spoke to the policeman.
‘‘Heard anything funny down in
the cellar?” I asked.
He was a surly cop and not very
friendly.
TOUR OF INVESTIGATION i
i
“Trying to kid me?” he snapped
back.
“No, I’m not kidding policemen
right now,” I said. “I want tQ know
if you heard any noises coming
from the cellar.”
“Go on back upstairs,” he
laughed. “You’re getting a little
nutty.”
“Perhaps I have plenty of rea
son. Got any objections If I wander
down in the basement?”
“All right, but don’t try to skip.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not trying to
get away.”
Suddenly the sound of a door
closing somewhere in the basement
caused us both to jump a little.
Then came a dull treadlike noise
There was a groan—an Inhuman
groan—and then a piercing cry.
What further dangers are wait
ing behind those closed doors?

The art and science of dentistry has
made an enormous stride within the
last quarter of a century, not only in
the mechanical field, but also in dis
covering the relation of the teeth to
health, and the relation of the diet
to the teeth.
All modern dentists realize the
value of a good diet in preserving the
health and in protecting the teeth.
It is even probable that dentists as
a class have been earlier in recogniz
ing the value of a protective diet than
physicians of other schools. Some
very interesting experiments have
been performed In trying to find out
the cause of pyorrhea and trench
mouth. In the examination of sev
eral hundred patients It was found
that all of the patients suffering from
pyorrhea had been living on a diet
which was deficient In vitamin C, and
It was also found that this trouble
was much easier to correct when the
diet was first corrected.
Dr. M. T. Hanke, of the University
of Chicago, took a group of people
suffering from pyorrhea, inflamma
tion of the gums, and tooth decay
and placed them on a diet rich in this
substance. In keeping track of a
group of 100 patients he found that
15 of them did not adopt his diet and
in these the gum condition grew
worse, but every one of the 85 who
used the correct diet, showed a gain
for the better, and in many cases
their pyorrhea and gum inflamma
tion were entirely cured within 60
days, dental treatments also being
used in addition to the diet. Gums
which had been bleeding easily ceased
bleeding, spongy gums became firmer,
and tooth decay was stopped.
This diet of Dr. Hanke was not un
usual or freakish and yet it overcame
that frequent disorder of modern life,
bleeding gums. He advocated a diet
which was rich in protein foods, sup
plemented by a diet that contained
plenty of foods with vitamin C; to
be exact, a diet consisting of plenty
of meat, eggs, milk, a half head of
lettuce and fresh fruit daily, and one
pint of orange juice with the juice of
one lemon. This diet not only brought
about an improvement in the gum
troubles, but also the general health
so that the patient reported being
less tired and had fewer colds than
ever before. *
If you are suffering from any gum
disorder, you should see that your
food contains plenty of vitamins. Here
is a list of some of the foods which
are rich in vitamin C. Oranges,
lemons, grapefruit, tomatoes, sprout
ing grains or legumes, green leaves,
celery, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, etc.
Such foods when combined with the
proper dental regimen not only aid
in curing modern gum troubles but
also in preventing their development.
Fortunately, the foods containing
vitamin C are almost all alkaline
forming and also have a tendency to
overcome systemic acidosis so that the
saliva which bathes the teeth can
become more alkaline.
Today Is the
Anniversary of
LISBON’S EARTHQUAKE
On Nov. 1, 1755, Lisbon, capital "of
Portugal, was destroyed by an earth
quake which is said to have been felt
from Scotland to Asia Minor. Be
tween 30,000 and 40,000 persons were
killed and property damaged to the
value of $100,000,000.
Though the city had for many cen
turies suffered from earthquakes,
this was the only one which devas
tated it. The greater part of Lisbon
was reduced to a heap of ruins almost
instantly.
A tidal wave hit the city at the
same time and wrecked shipping in
the Tagus river. Fire added further
to the disaster. The district sur
rounding an old Moorish castle in the
center of the city was the only part
not destroyed.
The rapid recovery of the city was
due largely to the energetic work of
the prime minister, the Marquis of
Pombal. Lisbon soon became pros
perous, but at the beginning of the
19th century the French Invasion, the
loss of Brasil and dynastic troubles
resulted In its decadence, from which
It did not recover until after 1850.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Chiropractic Treatments
Question: A. F. writes: “I would
like to know your opinion of chiro
practic treatments. I am no chiro
practor or follower of any one health
method: I merely ask for your un- v
biased opinion.” ‘
Answer: * The fact that practically
every state in the union has a law
regulating the practice of chiroprac- ‘
tic is assurance that there is a great
deal of recognize<* value in this
method of treatment. Chiropractic
is defined as the science of adjusting
the spinal vertebrae with the hands
by means of a specific thrust. There
is much difference of opinion about
whether or not the spinal vertebrae
actually get out of position, but there
is no question but what the stimula
tion given to the spinal nerves
through chiropractic treatment ife
helpful in bringing about increased
tone to those parts of the body which
receive the added stimulation.
Bread '
Question: Mrs. O. J. writes: “1
wish to know if the genuine whole
wheat bread is fattening. Also, rye’
bread.”
Answer: Any bread may be con
sidered “fattening.”
Pneumonia
Question: Mrs. R. D. asks: “What
are the symptoms, cause and effect
of pneumonia? Does it leave the
health permanently wrecked? Can a
person have pneumonia more than
once?”
Answer: A complete answer to
your question would be too long to
print in this column. Upon receipt
of your name and address I would
be very glad to send you a special
article I have prepared on this sub*
ject. In partially answering your
question I would say that pneumonia
is a very serious disorder. It often
permanently Injures the lungs, and
can occur several times.
