New Opening for Hitler Do not be surprised if the next momentous news from the tangle of European politics is an announcement that Germany has militarily occupied the Rhineland. A few years ago such a step would certainly have caused a war. Now it probably would not do so. For one thing, England is understood to have informed France that mere resumption of German military activity in the demilitar- ized zone would not be considered, in London, | as an act ef aggression. For another, the French have finally com-} pleted their long chain of frontier forts; a Ger- man army on the Rhine would not be the direct -menace that it would have been half a dozen years ago. | Nevertheless, such a move—reliably re- ported to be contemplated by the Hitler gov- ernment—would increase the tension. It would be one more token of Hitler’s determination to restore Germany to a position of full military preparedness in spite of treaty restrictions or international opposition. Contour Farming If federal experts have their way, not only the so- cial but the physical features of American farming will be radically changed in the near future. Instead of the freqeunt rectangles which now turn green in the spring and take on the color of golden sunshine in the fall, we shall have circles and curlicues which might make a cubist pale with envy. For the old-fashioned method of farming, we are told, is waste- ful. Not only does it fail to produce as much as it could but it encourages erosion of the soil and destruc- tion of its fertility. To those who retain the idea that America has enough and to spare of arable land the idea may seem silly, but it certainly is not more so than the present practice of mining the soil and failing to properly pre-j serve the element which contributes most to a nation’s greatness. The remedy for erosion, which already has ruined millions of America’s acres, is a combination of strip| farming, wherein cover crops are planted at intervals | and in strategic locations along the contours of the hills and prairies, and contour farming, wherein the furrows or rows ‘of growing crops follow the level of the land; under cultivation. Such furrows are nearly level and at right angles to the slope of the land. In districts with heavy rainfall they prevent rapid run-off and attendant washing of the soil, In North Dakota, where water erosion is not an important factor but which has often been beset by drouth, it would) insure a greater percentage of what rain we do receive! sinking into the soil. In Japan, Germany, France and many other na- tions the system has been practiced for so long as to be a habit. We have never had to do it because there has always been plenty of land for everyone. But as! the population increases and good land becomes scarcer we may abandon the present system which has failed to preserve our greatest natural asset. It may not come in this generation, but there is no} question that, at some time in the future, the landscape we know will have disappeared. Over much of the country it will have the appear- ‘ance of contour farming or of barren waste, Financial Bootleggers Spurred on by England, the League of Nations ap- plies: sanctions against Italy and the world now has opportunity to see just how well they will work. The first step is the severance of financial rela- tions between Italy and the leading nations of Europe. Loans and banking or other credits are to be denied, not only to the Italian government but to Italian busi- ness organizations. Not only are the governments of England, France and the other league nations com- mitted to such a plan, but they are to force their bank- ers and businessmen to abide by similar rules, ‘The result, it seems clear, will be to establish a set of financial bootleggers. Money, whether it be reckon- ed in terms of dollars, pounds or francs, always has a habit of getting to where it can make a profit and the patriotism of bankers in Paris or London could hardly withstand severe temptation. As a practical matter, the gesture will cause the Italian government some trouble. It will undoubtedly many of its businesses. But that it will be ehind the Scenes in Washington i i | By RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, Oct. 17.—Republicans and Liberty Leaguers who have staked out claims on the late Thomas Jefferson face a hot fight from administration Demo- ile who intend to regain possession of the famed Vir- ginian. The effort to rope and tie Mr. Jefferson as Demo- cratic property already has begun. And although Mr. Jefferson has been heard of frequently in every election || campaign since the first one, plans of President Roose- velt and his strategists now call for giving him a more conspicuous part in the 1936 affair than he has had since death removed his corporeal presence from the Political scene. The opposition started all this with assertions that Roosevelt had deserted Jefferson and other splendid old American institutions and was following after false, un- American gods. Democrats feel they can use Jefferson to offset such |] propaganda and prove that F. R. and T. J. are brothers under the skin and that the New Deal is deep-rooted in sound old American doctrine. eee BOWERS TO BE CHAMPION ‘ Ambassador Claude Bowers, champion kéynoter, Spellbinder, and biographer, will be brought over from Madrid to parade Mr. Jefferson around the country and keep him out of Republican hands, Bowers is a leading Jefferson expert. There's been some thought of giving him a cabinet job, where he 1g | Would have added prestige behind his ballyhoo for the Sage of Monticello, but that isn’t in the cards at the moment. Meanwhile, Charlie Michelson, the party pub- licity boss, has been digging into the voluminous writings of Jefferson and extracting cet rare tidbits which tend to prove that Jefferson wasn’t the spiritual forefather of Souett Shouse. Postmaster General Jim Farley recently made a very good speech, to which neither you nor anyone else paid any attention. It was good because Charlie Michelson wrote it for him and it told how Jefferson had demanded ten constitutional amendments all at once, how he was charged with destroying the constitution time and again, and how the special pleaders for special privilege be- labored him unmercifully as a bolshevik. eee SOFT PEDAL ON REVOLUTION You will hear a lot more of the same this year and Republicans will try to kidnap Jefferson every day. One of the nice things about Jefferson is that he wrote so much and his mind changed to such degrees during the years that you can find things in his writings to prove almost any point you like, Neither major party will be referring to the Jeffer- sonian crack about the desirability of a revolution every 20 years or so. Perhaps the Communists will grab that. see POMP LOST ON POOCH Historians of the supreme court are likely to omit the item about the dog which found its way into the court’s new palace on the opening day. This animal scampered wildly through the vast marble corridors and at one point snapped at a woman’s leg, causing a run in her stocking. Policemen who captured the pooch and ush- ered it out failed to learn the ownership or pedi- gree, but suspected he had neither, eee HOW SMART LOBBYIST WORKS Lobby investigations, though often of value, are al- most always surface-scratching affairs. One reason is that the shadiest deals are the most carefully concealed and another is that smart lobbyists have no files which investigators can get at. Sitting in a club card game the other night was a veteran shipbuilders’ lobbyist, most successful and locally famous of his kind. For years committee investigators have admitted, in admiration, their inability to “get something on —— ——.” He was explaining how that was. “They come to my office and ask for my files and find I haven't got any,” he said. “Then they go looking for my letters in the files of the com- panies I’ve worked for and.they find I didn’t write any. I've always made it a rule to write one letter a year and then get a new stenog- rapher. “I've always told those fellows (other lobbyists) not to write letters. But they always feel they have to write the boss about how good they are. If your work is good, it will show for itself.” (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) With Other DITORS Promote School Bus Safety With Uniform Law (Bucyrus, O., Telegraph-Forum) Recent highway statistics show that approximately one-third of the more than 3,000 automobiles which pass Reprinted to show what they say. We may or may not agree with them, i daily over the Lincoln highway through Ohio and In- diana are licensed in other than the two afore-mentioned states. Ohio laws require that an automobile must come to a complete stop while approaching a school bus en- gaged in loading or discharging school children, and must remain stopped until the bus resumes its travel and the children, in the case of discharged passengers, are clear of the highway. Under the present system at least one-third of the drivers on the Lincoln highway itself are unfamiliar with Ohio’s law and are passing school buses as they pass other types of vehicles. The percentage of out-of-state drivers on other highways is not accurately estimated, but an honest opinion can be advanced that they make up a fair percentage of the total. School bus drivers over Ohio are complaining of the condition. Locally an arrest can be made as an example to others, but the arrest of several hundred visiting motorists would not serve as a warning to other thousands of their own and other states. Cross-country and interstate automobile traffic is on the increase and will continue to increase in the future. The Ohio law warrants study by other states with a view to making it nation-wide.

Conceivably the “lone lion of Idaho” could have upset carefully-laid plans not yet given the opportunity for trial had he so chosen. His speech, coming within 48 hours after the president's proclamation, had what is known in newspaper parlance as “time value.” ee R Interest Great Some observers noted that state de- partment officials displayed more in- terest in Borah than they did in the vote of the League of Nations coun- cil to apply sanctions to Italy, which was taken the same day. Everyone from Secretary Hull down the line knew only too well the Idaho senator's staunch views on isolation.

Perhaps Borah, who usually is pointedly specific in what he has to say, hasn’t quite made up his mind yet on the president's neutrality pro- gram. Or it may be that he is willing to see it tried before he makes com- ment. Whichever be true, this can be set down as a certainty: If he finds later the program runs counter to his con- victions, he’ll let it be known in no uncertain fashion. ] ie | So They Say Our patriotism, prosperity, and love ° of justice are a sure sign of our viril- BEGIN HERE TODAY RUTA Wo0ODSO: astted giet- ot i es.

Long ago Silas Hunter had routed his trains through the town and built an imposing depot. One could reach the little city on through trains, without hardship. Stepping from a Pullman coach at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, a beautiful girl, wearing paciceleey ly simple travel clothes and an alert expression, tipped the porter and looked around for a tazt. When a driver presented himself, she indicgted half a dozen bags at her feet and directed crisply. “Tho Silas Hunter house on Gar- field avenue!” Thus Elaine Chalmers arrived for ber campaign to win John McNeill’s heart. When the taxi turned in at the Hunter gateway the appearance of the place dismayed her. She got out and the driver piled her bags around her on the porch and left her there, Almost be- fore her knocking had died away, the door opened a crack and a wrinkled old face peered out. Elaine exclaimed, “Penny!” “Bh?” said old Bertha in sur- prise. “It's me, Penny! It’s Elaine Chalmers. I wrote you I was com- ing, and bere I am! Come help me get these bags in. Aren’t there any other servants bere at all?” Tha old woman said in per- plexity, “Stand still and let me look at you.” She drew the girl into a patch of pale autumn sun- Nght and peered at her intently. “Would: you mind speaking again?” she asked then. 21 Frigid. 22 Also. 24 He served almost five 26 Bound. ¢] 28 Toward. 30 Slipped. 31 Church th APE BERN Gn ist 38 Toward sea. 40 Crescent- shaped figure 43 To provide food. 45 Slovak. 46 Labyrinth. 48 States. 49 Membranous bag. 50 Mink. 52 Note in scale. 53 Per. 54 You. 55 Above. 56 Musical note. 57 In the thing. 4 Quantity. § Within. 6 Yawned. 7 Eighth ounce. 8 Mammal. 9To dine. 10 War flyers. enclosures. 12 Musical note. 17 Bed lath. 18 To clip. 20 Most impor- tant Dill enacted while in office. “Not at all,” Elaine Chalmers | ¢ ‘laughed. “I’ve every intention of speaking. ‘1 want to come in and cy bath.

A great many of the self-promoting big boys of the profesh attempt to patronize me dnd my notions about this “cold” business. Their efforts to place my teachings about it in a bad light sometimes lead them into strange Retitudes. ‘They set out, ostensibly to enlighten the layman but actually to wreck my, work. They don’t uhderstand what I teach, but Ged assume I maintain that “colds” are communicable infectious diseases and nothing else. So they must smash the germ theory or seriously cripple it before they can complete the mystification of the credilous layman, Thus they come at you poor confused folk with the striking assertion that the germ of the common cold has never been found, and on-the other hand they throw a bad scare into you with the oso-logical assurance that these “cold” germs nobody has ever discovered are always “in and about us,” waiting like good bogeymen to pounce on us the moment our hypothetical defenses are lowered. That teary way for all the silly old quackery about wet feet, weather changes, fficient clothing, drafts. In truth I do believe the majority of the {llnesses aon tee spread under the disarming name of “colds” are infectious, Common Infections, and hence I suggest the term CRI (kree) to indicate any such trouble until or unless you can make a specific diagnosis of the ailment. But I believe from 10 to 15 per cent of all illnesses or indispositions purport- ing to be “colds” are communicable, non-infectious, not due to Ltd of any kind, but Siiergic or chemical or mechanical in character; these non-infectious coryzas may be exceedingly annoying and uncomfortable, but are never dangerous. You have never heard of anybody dying from hay fever, have you? The colleague whose cockeyed teaching I quoted soothed the anxieties of his readers in the orthodox manner. “We may avoid the symptoms (of the common cold) by watching diet and intestine, and also the tempera- ture and moisture of our homes, offices or factories,” he added. If I may remind you, and you have another eye that is not busy, it might be well to keep it on your receptaculum chyli. You know one must watch all these organs every instant or they'll quit working. It is due to centuries of watching that the intestine of wiseacre mankind functions so perfectly. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Real Health Food For over 10 years we have been sending back 2 Penn Yan, N.

Two girls in the house at once, both ‘calling them- selves Elaine Chalmers! She said aloud, “But you're the real one! Yes, you're the real one!” “Certainly I’m real,” replied Elaine, made cross by the queer remark. “My head couldn’t ache Mke this if 1 weren’t real.” “I mean,” explained Bertha, growing more excited, “that the other one’s a pretender and a liar. She’s fooled me.” “What other one?” Elaine blankly. “The one that came the night of the big rain, claimin’ to be 0,” “Claiming to be me? What utter merve! What did you do with her?” “Ut took her in,” Penny said, “and gave her your room.” “Penny, you old fool! Do you mean you're that simple?” “I don’t sce good any more,” Bertha explained in self-defense. “There was your letter sayin’ you’d be here for a rest. And there come this girl, almost on the heels of it. She’s been here ever since.” “Do you mean she’s here now?” asked Elaine Chalmers, incredu- lously. “Yes., Upstairs. She had her breakfast and then she went up- stairs. She keeps pretty busy.” Elaine, who had been sitting on the edge of a chair, jumped to her feet excitedly. “Phone the police, Penny! No, you haven't a telephone, of course. Wait! I'll go get the police myself—” Something within Bertha’s brain came to attention at that word “police.” The amazing situ- ation of having two Elaine Chal- mers contending for her recogni- tion suddenly became as nothing to her. The only thing that mat- tered was the unhappy man on the third floor who padded desolately from room to room and could not sleep. asked ee the angry girl pacing the floor with revenge in her eyes, Penny said placatingly, “The one upstairs is a nice quiet little thing. “Then why is she here? What's the idea?” Bertha rubbed her chin and answered honestly, “That 1 can’t say, Miss—Mi¢s Blaine.” it was confusing to shift suddenly to calling this one Miss Elaine, even though the rightful owner of that name. Indeed it was all confusing, and worse. | She said, hope you'll forgive me for being taken in like that. Though I’m not such a foo! as I look.

This was important. “Well,” replied Penny reluc- “I'd say he's seen her every day since si been here. Sometimes twice e day.” “Hitler’s great aunt!” “Te BLUE DOOR Rachel “Mack 1935-NEA Service, tne. Ten. In a moment, however, her natural feeling of optimistic su- periority asserted itself. She'd dispose of this girl and expose her. She’d laugh at John McNeill for being taken in by her. eee SHE thought, “He must be senti- mental over her if he sees her that often. But nothing’s incur- able. Half his thrill comes from believing her to be me. She can’t be as good-looking as 1 am, and she can’t know as much about handling men. I think I can take him over!” Her chin was up. There was in her blood the same love of conquest that had made Silas Hunter, her grandfather, build railroads and hold them. “Take me up to her, Penny!” she commanded. Bertha was thinking as rapidly as her weary, never-too-good brain would function. She said soothingly, “Come into the dining room first, Miss Elaine, and have @ cup of coffee, A body’s not hardly fit to argue till they've had their coffee. I'll run a pan of rolls in the oven for you and open a jar of preserves. You used to like my damson marmelade for breakfast.” “Did 12” asked Elaine, still en- grossed with her purpose but lured by the thought of breakfast. “Oh, well, have it your way, Penny.” She went into the dining room and sat down at the big walnut table. While Bertha breakfast HJaine smoked a ciga- ret and drummed her fingers on the table. The room held her amused attention, Its furnishings were so stiffly Victorian, so blatantly ugly that they intrigued her. And yet the proportions of “Wouldn’t it be screamingly funny,” Blaine thought, “it John McNeil} and I should fall in love, really seriously, and decide to live here ahd. do the old house over!

He'd been indifferent and unattainable in those days. It would be heav- enly to make a slave of him now and punish bim for that 16-year- old indifference. Suddenly it seemed to her to be the only thing worth doing. Bertha came in with the tray then, serving the meal with paci- fying words and gestures, as one would step around a handsome cat that one wished to mollify. Then, when there was no more’ for ber to do, the old servant. went out of the room and climbed to the third floor by means of the back stairs. She must warn Mr. Duncan that there was another person in the house to menace him, To her sufprise, Duncan Hunter was lying on his bed asleep, and seed ae rested and as undis- turbed as he had looked as a boy. Bertha Gibbs closed the door of the room and went down to the herselt| Kitchen again. ~(To Be Continued)
