Stronger Than Steel Crushing his political foes be- neath the Nazi juggernaut, Adolph Hitler may yet encounter more trou- ble than he bargains for as a result of disagreements with religious or- ganizations, both Protestant and Catholic. A few weeks ago, it will be remem- bered, the Protestants of Germany ‘were grouped by official ukase into one organization with a bishop at their head. The Nazis had a candi- date for this place and dire threats were made of what would happen if he were not accepted. The church- men, however, had independence enough to resist this pressure and elect a man of their own choice. Hitler, despite his ranting before the decision, yielded as gracefully as he could. It is to be assumed, however, that many German Protestants re- sent his interference in their religious affairs. Whatever other abilities they have shown, the Nazis have demon- Th 7 tion, however, is that this service is ene Bismarck Tribune largely a duplication of one per- formed regularly by other public or quasi-public agencies. It rarely con- tains information which cannot be had regularly from any daily news- paper. The men who get it out doubtless take pride in doing so. They do a good job. But the results of their labor come into the hands of the potential user days after he has re- ceived the same information from 5.00 +» 6.00 ‘Weekly by mail in state, per year $1.00 other sources. Viewed from this angle, this expenditure is largely waste. It is surprising that a large number if senators and representa- tives are making a fight for its con- tinuance. Dangers in the Road to Recovery As the great depression of the ‘thirties sinks into what we all de- voutly hope will be its final coma, it is instructive to look back at the death-bed scenes of former depres- sions and see how they compare with this one. By one way of looking at things, they are all much alike. In former times, as now, the up- ward turn began before people real- ized it. Commodity prices began a slow but steady climb, security prices advanced, scattered factories began to put men back to work, people started buying things again—and then, the first thing anyone knew, we were out of it and there was a clear road ahead again. That seems to be very much the way things are working out now. But there are one or two differences, and they modify the whole picture in a way that it is impossible to ignore. In the first place, no previous de- pression led to such far-reaching and drastic action by the federal govern- ment. We have never before had anything like the new farm bill, the industrial control bill, and so on. No previous depression forced us off the gold standard; none ever caused so much power to be given to the presi- dent. Secondly, the international situation is different. Never before did the cli- max of hard times in America coin- strated no urge toward spirituality|°ide with such a near approach to or the observance of Christian teach-| Chaos in international relations.

Now the uncrowned monarch comes into conflict with the Roman|0f disarmament, international debts,|cown, which I may do if ever I'm in Catholic church, contesting against one of its firmest contentions, the training of youth. ‘Under new decrees the training of ‘Young Germany is made the duty of the state alone. No other influence is to be countenanced. Everywhere and at all times the Roman Catholic church has main- tained that the training of youth is the peculiar province of the church. In season and out it has contended for this principle and it is not likely to yield its views to Mr. Hitler. Mussolini, infinitely more capable, tried the same thing in Italy. and Jost. Hitler is not likely to succeed where Mussolini failed, even though the church influence is less strong in Germany than it was in Italy. Whatever else he may do, it is Gevoutly to be wished that Hitler will avoid serious religious difficulties in Germany, but if they come it will be relatively safe to bet against final success for his plans. The churches have a way of mustering their great- est strength in times* of trial. Either the Protestants or Catholics of Germany could bring ultimate ruin to his schemes. Both influences, if united, would make short work of both Hitler and his organization. For the spirit of man is stronger than steel. Building Coming Back ‘The usual trend of the building in- dustry is downward from April to May. This is caused by the fact that building projects, conceived dur- ing the winter months, have largely been launched by early spring and there comes a lull in the development of new enterprises. This year, however, the tendency ‘was sharply reversed. A survey by Dun and Bradstreet, business an- alysts, shows a 42.7 per cent increase trom April to May. The figure for last month was the largest in 11 months. The showing is significant because of the trend which it indicates rather than by reason of the volume in- volved. It proves that the revival of business is extending all down the line and that people with money are London conference, with all that it implies, is a new thing; the problems world peace and treaty revision give to our emergence from this depres- sion an entirely new face. Last of all, it is probably true that never before have we been so thor- oughly disillusioned—with our leaders, with our institutions and with our- Selves. We have called in question the basic features of our national life. We are coming out of it in a dif- ferent way than we did other times. To say that we shall presently go on in the old paths simply because “we have always recovered before” is to talk complete nonsense. Everything is profoundly different. Only by recognizing the extent of the difference can we find our way safely through the next few critical years. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, A Maze of Counsel (New York World-Telegram) With the commencement season bristling with bacclaureate appraisals of this country’s and the world’s eco- nomic troubles, the daily press now contains a great variety of opinion on the aforesaid topic. ‘We find the sage President Angel! of Yale warning tha’ we are drifting steadily toward anther dark age, un- less youth can lead a crusade out of it, for “certainly the generation to which I belong has made a terrible mess of things and we pass shame- facedly to yours the task of rescuing humanity from its woes, hoping that from our grotesque and pathetic blunders you may learn wisdom and live.” At Harvard, President Lowell, retir- ing, admonished the graduates to hold tight to personal integrity and char- acter amid the hard tugging of con- temporary tendencies.

In Russia, Raymond Robins, after much traveling there, reports amaze- ment at the progress and the contrast with the earlier days. He reports an abandonment of the demand for world revolution in favor of an exclusive concern with Russian problems. In the Yale Review we find John Maynard Keynes, distinguished Brit- ish economist, at a time when every- where are heard urgings toward inter- nationalism, advising nations for the immediate future to pursue a policy of economic isolation as a means of lessening the danger of international conflict due to intrusion of foreign capital and the effect of economic fluctuations of the foreign countries. ‘What we miss most in the speeches of the academicians and the minsters is an aggressive zeal to deal practic- ally with the radical and altogether On paper it can be proved that|hopeful implication connoted by the this is of great benefit to the farmer} New Deal.” and the dealer in various farm com- modities.

A HUNDRED BERRIES FOR A TOOTH If I ever do have a nervous break- grave danger of being caught at some of my skullduggery, and suffer from insomnia, I’m going to debate with myself this problem to keep me awake: Would the chap who offered his kingdom for a horse have ) been satisfied if they were tem- | porarily all out of horses and Offered him instead a flock of wives or clear deed to a house and lot in an exclusive residential section? A considerable proportion of the population has received medical serv- ice of one kind or another for noth- ing or for a song. These people can’t bear the thought of any change in the practice of medicine or in the} pocket of the practitioneet. Because Old Doc Goofy allowed every one to take advantage of him his patient's children forever resent being required to pay for medical advice or skill. What do I think, one correspond- ent asks, of a doctor who demands a fee of $200 for the treatment of hemorrhoids? From the context it is plain that the patient is cured and quite satisfied, only he feels the doc- tor charged too much. Dentists have made better progress in educating their clientele. Lots of People don’t mind paying a dentist a hundred berries for a tooth. The dentists have a system.

There dire need of funds to meet the most essential requirements of living, actu- ally hesitate to demand payment of accounts regularly every month, as all business does. Some doctors rather pride themselves on their ne- glect of this carelessness. There are just two reasons for such indiffer- ence or pretended indifference—the doctor is living on wealth inherited of married, or he is seeking to gain a reputation for kindness and eventual- ly a large practice. One element in modern medicine, the brass specialist, employs busi- is how the racket is worked: An attractive, well trained secre- tary receives the patient, gets all necessary data and retires—to make inquiry about the individual's rating, etc. Then a young medical assist- a self confident young woman in a uniform such as nurses wear, prepares the patient for examination.

We understand radium treatments will completely eradicate the mark. Is this true? Mrs. 8. 8. L.) Answer—Radium treatment is the best in some cases. In any case the earlier the treatment is used the bet- ter the cosmetic results will be. Leave it to the doctor to decide which treat- ment is best. Beer and Athletics A 15-year-old boy is anxious to be- come a good athlete. He has been taught that tobacco will affect his wind. Unknown to the boy, there has been discussion in the family whether 3.2 per cent beer would be good or bad for him. One member, though not a drinker, thinks it is narrow-minded to imagine there is more harm in it than in soda water... (R. L. W). Answer—A glass of beer yields less energy, strength or vigor than a glass of milk. Even for aged, feeble folk it is an individual question whether such alcoholic beverage is advisable. Any one who argues that beer is advisable for young persons, particularly young persons with athletic ambitions, is just too gullible. (Copyright 1933, John F. Dille Co.)

IN NEW YORK New York, June 24.—If there is any such thing as a genuinely typical man-about-town, he must be Elmer G. Leterman. He knows everybody of consequence from Wall street to Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood, and is the pet of every head waiter in the knob- biest nighteries. His penthouse on Central-Park West is perhaps the showiest in the upper reaches of the Manhattan skyline, and there gather the curious assortments of guest- celebrities who may include anybody from the financially mighty Baruchs to the proboscidate Jimmy Durante.

A super- insurance broker, really, for he writes any sort of policy from life or fire to protection against being kidnaped or having twins. Harpo Marx has a half- million-dollar policy on his hands, with a specific value stated for each of his ten fingers. Eddie Cantor has had his protuberant eyes insured. Jimmy Durante’s schnozzle has been underwritten for $100,000. Ben Tur- pin took out $100,000 worth of pro- tection against the remote chance of his cross eyes going back to normal— a publicity stunt that was considered well worth the $106 annual premium he paid for it. ee % DOLLARS AND SENSE Mrs, Blanche Cavitt, who's in the perfume business in Oklahoma City, has her sense of smell insured for $50,000. And if anything happens to the dancing legs of Eleanore Ambrose, widow of Maurice Mouvert, she'll get @ quarter of a million dollars. Most musicians have their hands insured; Paderewski, George Gershwin, Ru- dolph Friml are among Leterman’s clients, Harry Rosenthal, the actor- pianist, has $240,000 protection for his right hand, $160,000 for his left. Leterman has written $1,000,000 or- dinary life policies for Jesse Lasky, Sam Katz, Al Jolson, Douglas Fair- banks, Mary Pickford and even little Mitzi Green. Mitzi, by the way, pays @ $15,000 annual premium. John Barrymore and Roxy come higher>— $2,000,000 each. Fannie Brice and Paul Whiteman are among the half- million-dollar customers. Joseph Schenck, president of United Artists, has the most insurance, his policies totaling baat bles % HOSPITALITY PAYS Leterman wrote a policy for Joan Lowell before she started her current adventure in the cradle of the deep. This and most of the aforementioned unusual policies, he explains, are han- dled by Lloyds of London, who will bet on practically anything. A. E, Lefcourt, wealthy builder and realtor, is one of Leterman’s best friends. One night he gave a big din- ner party for the insurance man, and arranged as a surprise to have every- one buy a policy. These totaled $1,- 200,000, and made it a pleasant eve- ning indeed. In celebration Leterman did something he’d planned for a long time—went up to Central Park next morning and gave a $1000 paid-up pol- icy to every mounted policeman. ee & FAVORS TO FORTUNE tell you it’s by making friends and doing favors for people. An example: Gregory Taylor, New York hotel owner, bought a yacht the other day and voiced the wish, at a party, that he could fly an admiral’s flag. Leterman brooded over that, finally decided to have a fling at making Taylor a Kentucky admiral. So he telephoned some influential friends down Louisvilie way, who went to see Governor Laffoon, who issued the commission.

At Christmas Mary Lou, irritated by Travers’ lack of holiday spirit, terms him selfish. Brought to his Senses, he joins his mother and Mary Lou in delivering gifts to the needy. At the Veterans’ Hos- pital Travers meets his old buddy: Jimmy McEwan, and plans to help him, Travers gives Mary Lou a sapphire ring and speaks of the seal ring he gave her. Mary Lou believes then that he really mar- tied Delight, using a seal ring. That night he kisses Mary Lou. Realizing she loves him and can- not go on pretending, Mary Lou plans to leave. Later she changes her mind. Mrs, Lorrimer remarks the change in Mary Lou to Dr. Mathews, who tells her he believes Mary Lou loves Travers. Mary Lou confides in Larry, Larry is inlove with Jenny Wynne, a friend of the Lorrimers. CHAPTER XXIX. ARY LOU, dressed in knick- M ers and with a suede leather skating jacket, looked like a delightful if very ef- feminate boy. She pulled off her woolen tam and shrugged herself out of the jacket, appearing in a soft brown flannel skirt and gay tie. Her lovely hair shone in the firelight and her cheeks were rosy red with the cold. “Why is it,” asked Jenny, “that, when we skate or ski, Delight al- ways looks like something on the cover of an expensive magazine? Me, I go out, armed for battle and all that, and only succeed in get- tii ng a red nose. But Delight is red where red should be, and white —or, at most, pink—other places.

Hi was so tall she had to look up. His brown eyes were intent upon her face, intent and compelling. She felt a slow tide of color rise, flood- ing throat and face and brow. She looked away and opened a bopk which lay before her, idly, with a hand which shook, and followed a line of print with blind eyes. Lorrimer drew a deep breath. He was no fool. He had seen. He had seen the response in her lifted eyes, the betraying color. His heart rose, light, within him. He had been troubled lately, feeling the change in her attitude been astonished into speech. “Where’s she gone?” he asked, and Jenny answered, smiling at the sudden attention aroused by her simple statement of fact: “To dress for dinnor, and it’s high time we followed her example —Lawrence darling!” There was malice in her tone. Larry jumped and glared down at her. Mrs. Lorrimer said, faintly: “Why, Jenny!” But Jenny, who had brought a suitcase no bigger than a special delivery stamp, which meant that she was staying for dinner, was half way out of the room, in a flash of scarlet. “She didn’t mean it, you know.” said Larry, embarrassed, to no one in particular.
