UNCLE RAY’S COR One night a radio report stated that this offer had been made: A million dollars is offered to any one who will capture Adolf Hitler and take him to the League of Nations for trial as a traitor. That was an early radio report. Later, a cor- rected newspaper account stated that Hitler was to be tried for “high crimes against peace.” Many persons would be glad to obtain a million dollars. Probably there are even more who would like to “capture” Hitler, or in some other way keep him from doing | what they think is harm to the | world. For years Hitler has been under close guard. Hundreds of men have been given the special task of keep- ing him from being shot or poisoned. ‘We are told of “doubles” who have appeared in public, making believe they were Hitler. It is possible that a double has CROSS-WORD PUZZLE 1. Arabian garments, 5. Hebrew 24.To whirl, month. 9.Girl's name, | 36.Kinsman. 12. Great number. | 28. Argument, 14. Fuel. 30.

Today’s word is from the Greek gyne- (woman), and -logy (science). The dictionaries show three pronunciations. In the first choice the first syllable is the “jin-" of “Jinny”; in the second choice it is like the word “guy”: in the third choice the “g” has the sound of “§” and the vowel is the long “i” sound of by, my. Correct pronunciations: First choice, JIN-ee-KAHL-oh-ist. Second choice, GUY-nee-KHAL- oh-jist. Third oh-jist. (Capitals indicate syllables to be accented.) choice, JY-nee-KHAL- Question: 1Is “spoonsful” the cor- rect plural of spoonful?—D. O’L. Answer: No. The word spoonful, like gallon, peck, quart, is & unit of measure, the quantity that would fill a spoon. Thus, we see that we may have & spoonful of salt in a dish, cup or shaker. The correct plural is formed by adding “s” to ~ful: spoonfuls. The plurals of other familiar -ful words are: Armfuls, cupfuls, glass- fuls, housefuls, mouthfuls, roomfuls.

NER places when the outside world was informed that Hitler, himself, went there. In the case of the Munich meet- ing last fall, it is not at all likely that a double took Hitler's place. His old Nazi comrades would have found out the truth quite easily. A time bomb exploded shortly after Hitler left the Munich meet- ing. One report said it missed him by only eight minutes. There is little, if any, doubt that the bomb was meant for “der Fuehrer.” To capture Hitler today would be a hard task. He is guarded with more care than ever before. Yet many things which seem im- possible are really possible. Some clever, skillful group of men might perform the deed. If Hitler were put on trial as a “traitor,” it is not certain he could be proved guilty. Some persons say he has been a traitor to the human gone-to Austria and several other race, but they would have a hard 65, RESIMES 60561, SToP WHERE JUNIOR SE5 UPA CLIMBING ON CHARS, WAIL AT AUOMATICALLY WE'S SURE 10 FALL ENDS CONVERSATION.

KAUFMAN, Before and After Here is a simple question with a “yes” or “no” answer. It happens to be couched in complex phrase- ology, but that shouldn’t disturb you if you can find a way to reduce it to the fundamentals. This can be done in three steps, leading to your rephrasing the question in such simple terms that the answer is immediately apparent. Now go ahead: “If the puzzle you solved before you solved the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one was harder than the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one, was the puzzle you solved before you solved this one harder than this one?” Take a pencil and paper if you care to and make sure of your analy- sis of the above question before you check the proper answer below: Yes __..

In fact, he has been extreme in his efforts to build up a big Germany. Building & big Germany may be Hitler's idea of helping his coun- try, but most persons outside of Germany think he hss done more harm than good to his own people. A nation does not become truly great by crushing ‘its neighbors. Sooner or later a nation which tries that will ruin ftself.
