Lindbergh was made a hero for something done long ago that has since been done by people with inferior craft and much less publicity. The old white horses on the fire engines of 1890 were wonderful at that time, but compared with the motorized fire equipment of today are exactly nothing, so I think we should forget the pilot of the "Spirit of St. Louts" and look upon Mr.

Lindbergh as just another man in 1939. The United States wasn't good enough for the Lindberghs a few years ago, when he carted his family off to Europe for protection, but when hostilities broke out he was the first to come sneaking back to Uncle Sam. -C. CECIL SLATTERY. Sanator, S.

D. BOTKIN'S DEATH -War Chances Reduced It appears that sentiment against participation in the war is rapidly being crystallized in the United States. This is reflected in the announcement of Senate administration leaders that they -are willing to amend the pending neutrality bill to provide for strictly cash payments in the purchase of munitions in this country. The provision for 90-day credit had encountered serious attacks. There are those who see certain war if this is retained.

The neutrality bill is a long way from passage, but enough objections have been removed to make the way less difficult Serious objections still remaining include the feature which would, deny American ship owners the opportunity to transport goods to possessions of i belligerents, as well as to belligerents themselves. Under this feature of the bill an American ship might not even call at a Canadian port. If this is enacted Into law. Congress will step hard on the toes of American ship owners. Another point at issue is the one raised by former President Hoover, who would limit exportation of munitions to such as are used solely for defense.

Such a limitation has also been advocated by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The pressure which is being applied both within and outside of Congress for the drafting of a bill which will endanger neither American lives nor property, and at the same time thrust the United States not too deeply into one camp or the other, indicates Congress is alive to its responsibilities. It is quite openly admitted publicly now.

however, that revision of the neutrality bill is sought more as a means of aiding Britain and France than of bringing any amount of commerce to this country. Onte Oara a Week 1 Mo. I Mo.

Be th Tear to Advance so OPF1CLU OTI COO NTT PAPER LARGEST DAILY CIRCTJLAnON IN TUB New York Timet The prompt and unusual diplomatic initiative taken by our government yesterday ir. behalf of Finland reflects the unanimous sentiments of the American people. In expressing through our ambassador in Moscow the "earnest hope'' that the soviet government would make no demands that would Jeopardize "the peaceful relations between the Soviet Union and and thereby aggravate the European war situation, the United States anticipated the action later taken by Sweden, Norway and Denmarkvihe states Immediately and vitally concerned in the fate of their Scandinavian neighbor.

This is in accordance with American policy tf independent action, and in this case, it had the great practical advantage of putting the American request before the soviet government in advance of the first conference between the commissar of foreign affairs and the Finnish delegation. If Moscow can be influenced bv the American view, there was a chance to soften the proposed demands before they were formulated. Finland is said to be willing to surrender to Russia a group of small islands at the mouth of the Bay of Finland which might conceivably be considered necessary for Russian defense. She is willing to make economic concessions. But a demand for the Aaland archipelago, or to install soviet troops jn her territory, she cannot accept and at the same time retain national independence.

Nor can she maintain her sovereignty by the use of force if Moscow decides to use force to conquer Finnish resistance. The best chance of Finland's survival as a free state is also the best chance that the shifting shadow (of a strangely fluctuating war may not spread over the whole Scandinavian peninsula, until now Europe's most solid neutral zone. Mr. MolotorT may still be able to announce that "unreasonable demands" were never contemplated and will not be made. This course is politely but unmistakably suggested to Moscow by the action of the American government.

We cannot do more for Finland; for a friendly, gallant self-respecting and greatly respected republic in peril of its life, we could hardly do less. Vol 54 No. 283 Bible Thought for Today Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall tee God.Matt. 5:8. Moods By EDGAR A.

OPPOSES EMBARGO REPEAL Ta the Editor Th Arena-Leader: The repeal of the "Embargo" is the -most uncalled for work that the senators at Washington now at the present time are working at I have read of 90-day grace. Why not 900 years, for if they can pay in 90 days then they can payTash. and the argument of war zone water rights is nil. What if the American vessels are withdrawn from the water areas rrhere they are in danger? It surely is better to have the vessels in port than at the bottom of the ocean and thereby cause America to be drawn into the conflict in Europe and have millions of our boys slaughtered.

We had one democracy war to enrich the munition factories at the cost of the best of the American lives. Are we now so blaize that we want to sacrifice our new generation of stalwart youth, who will be the coming leaders of our nation in the future? No! Let the embargo, rest and clamp it down we are not in the murder racket and if we sell ammunition to the foreign powers then we not only openly take sides but make our entering into war inevitable. The embargo question is only discussed now because a few people in America want to make a profit on goods, and it depends on the influence they have on our congress. DR. E.

F. TIESEN. Freeman, S. D. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS By FREDERIC 1 HASKIN How To Keep Well By DR.

IRVING S. CUTTER Holding Back the Water One of trie constructive pieces of legislation adopted at Pierre last winter, and in effect since July 1, is the one which encourages erection of dams on privately-owned land. Information from Pierre is that already 90 farmers have applied for benefits under the law. Fulfillment oj certain requirements enables a man to obtain a reduction in the assessed valuation of his land, depending on the area which is flooded. In no case can the valuation be reduced more than 40 per cent.

The law provides that such dams are not to' be carelessly built structures. Certain conditions must be met which will satisfy the state engineer. Assessors will inspect the dams annually, and if they are satisfactory, will continue to grant the reduced valuation, This is an extension of the dam building program carried out by federal agencies and the state game and fish commission for a period of several years. It differs, however, in that it is entirely a private venture except to the extent that the taxing powers step in. There Is no boondoggling.

Lakes or ponds to be created will be used for stock water, not for recreation such as bathing and fishing. One of the problems of South Dakota is to obtain adequate stock water. Land situated along streams in the range areas is highly desirable, but high bench land can be almost valueless even for grazing it. dry years unless some such thing as a good stock watering pond is close at hand. It would seem that as a matter of public policy South Dakota were acting wisely to conserve this available water rather than let it run to the Gulf of Mexico.

We can feed cattle and build up an industry in South Dakota, but we can't do it in Louisiana. British Journalists have shown bad taste In references to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh as a Hitler ally because our aviation hero has taken a stand against European political alignments. Nothing could be further from the truth than to call Lindbergh "America's trouble-maker number 1," as was the remark of one columnist.

It Is the first time any such accusation has been made against a man who has been the source of pride and an inspiration to millions of young Americans. We recall from the columns of newspaper space devoted to Lindbergh's misfortunes at the hands of kidnapers that he has been "more sinned against than sinning." Lindbergh married a daughter of the late Dwight Morrow, who was connected with a firm of international bankers which may have profited from the American alliance in the last war. For purely selfish reasons Lindbergh should feel attached to the British and French cause. He speaks in general terms, however, against European political affiliations. Having been in Europe 'for some years, following the misfortune which befell his family, it would seem that he is in position to speak.

-British attempts to belittle a man who was already an American hero, and now has shown an unselfish interest in vital political affairs, will cause resentment in this country. Defending Poland Sioux City Journal A good many persons persist in asking why the French and British, who had agreed to defend Poland against aggression, did not go to that nation's aid when the Germans and Russians invaded- it. Help for Poland was the great need. Because it was not forthcoming Poland was overrun by the nazis from the west and by the Russians from the east. And this is charged up to Britain and France who are held responsible for the conquest.

It was known in London and Paris on September 1 when the Germans entered Poland that Britain and France could not get help to the Poles and save them. The Poles, themselves, knew that as they were bound to know it The German Siegfried line on the west was too strong for the French and British to break through in short order and invade Germany. The allied forces could not get into the Baltic. They were prevented by Italy's neutrality from invading Germany from the Mediterranean area. They could not getmilitary or naval aid to the Poles.

They did not send air forces for the reason that the Germans were not bombing them with their mighty fleet. This is the Franco-British idea of defending Poland as it was at the beginning of the war: it was not believed Poland could be saved from being overrun by the stronger German army. That was expected. But the democracies, still -determined to go on with the war, are committed to a policy of restoring Poland as an independent state after they crush naziism. It also is urged in both Britain and French official circles that not only Poland but Czechoslovakia shall rise again.

Adolf Hitler has sworn that never again shall Poland rise, but if he loses the war he cannot prevent such restoration. Hunting pheasants from a car seat or a fender isn't exactly sportsmanship. Neither is it safe for the hunter or the general public. The corn belt apparently has moved quite a way north.

It is one of those habits or occupations that children indulge in when nervous or apprehensive. Some look upon it as a solace a comforter when time hangs heavy; while others believe that it helps them to think.

If begun in early childhood the tendency may remain for years, passing only with the loss of the biting teeth. When questioned as to why they yield to the impulse, most victims will reply that- they perform unconsciously, while some will admit that they succumb only when nervous or excited. All seem to agree that the practice serves as a pacifier as a means of compensating for embarrassment or excitement or as an aid to concentration. When queried as to the time of day and environment, most answers included while at the movies, during study periods at school, or in intervals between play. We have all seen youngsters place the fingers within the mouth and gnaw at the ends while reading or listening to the radio.

One reason why the procedure deserves some attention is that infection is so easily conveyed to the mouth and many cases of impetigo, canker sores, even tonsilitis, may arise in consequence. The sound rule of hygiene keep the hands away from the lips is utterly disregarded. In addition, it leads to difficulties in the development of the permanent teeth. Considerable pressure is required to cut a finger nail and the Incisors may suffer occlusion defects which will prove bothersome later in life. Occasionally the tooth structure Is injured because of the force employed.

Breaking the habit may prove difficult Punishments are useless, as is persistent nagging. While rewards may be helpful, the most satisfactory plan appears to lie in keeping the nails trimmed as shprt as safety permits. This demands dally attention. Now and then excellent results have followed the application of some bitter tasting substance a solution of quinine, for example. With those who are younger, gloves may be necessary.

The toddler will usually find these coverings so annoying that he will promise anything In order to get rid of them. Two or three weeks of this heroic treatment may bring enough forget-fulness to banish the desire. Substitution also has its advantages and the use of chewing gum instead is frequently curative. There is not a particle of use In assuming that these little ones are below par mentally far from It and they must not be handled other than as reasoning, thinking beings. Education is the best answer retraining.

An addict can be told frankly that the trick is not only unsightly, possibly disgusting to some, but that it may convey enough Scandinavian kings and the president of Finland will confer Wednesday at Stockholm concerning Russian aggression. Three kings and a president might not be as powerful as four aces, but they ought to make some showing In the European game. Babson Loses Vision Roger Babson, the statistician, is an interesting writer. He mixes philosophy and religion with cold economic discourse in such a way as to make him appear a veritable modem prophet The sage of Babson Park, has just returned from the Orient, and in a syndicated article the past week discussed the future of foreign trade as a result of the new war. One of his startling statements In this article is that Japan and China can "control the manufactures of the world." This because of cheap labor, long hours, and low standards of living.

Then Babson goes on to say that Americans, because of their high standard of living, are existing In a "fool's paradise." Babson asserts that Americans will have to compete with the orientals in the world markets and indicates we had better strip down to meet these tough conditions. Mr. Babson's loss of vision really surprises us. How far does he want us to go in this process? With Japanese laborers getting about IS cents per day, and living on a nickel, with grasshoppers and herbs for their diet, shall we descend half or all the way to their level? If American labor quits eating normal foods, stops buying decent clothing, lives in alley shacks, and buys no automobiles, what will happen to the industries which now supply their normal wants? Pretty soon ail will be reduced to the humble status of the Japanese, Just because we want some foreign trade. America's hope is that enlightenment will spread to the orientals, and even though they lack natural resources, their standards of living may some day approach those of this great country.
