THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1933. JUDGE BROWNE GIVEN PLACE IN COLUMN DEVOTED TO POETS RACE BUILDING | AS PUBLIC WEAL | URGED BY NAZI REGIME OF ADOLPH HITLER| INAUGURATES OF EDUCATION ON MORE; AND BETTER BABIES i By JOHN A. BOUMAN (By Annotated Preant BERLIN, Aug. 3.—Emphasiz-, ing the nation’s! declining birth} to Florida’s pects and conducted by Vivian Yeiser Laramore (Poet Laureate of Florida) the following mention is made of Judge Browne: On Judge Jefferson B, Browne’s recent visit to Miami we ex- changed views on poets. old and new, and, though we have a particular weakness for contemporary bards, so persuasive a talker is the dis- vate, the nazi regime of Adolph} 4 Hitler has started a campaign of; education aimed at more and bet-| ter babies for Germany. Earnest appeals for well-filled cradles have been direeted es- pecially toward the rural popula- tion, “for,”-says one of the offi- cial communiques, “a nation ean survive all blows of fate if its peasant stoek is sownd.” Claims National Right “What is imperatively needed is a constant health rejuvenation of the peasantry,” seid William Frick, Prussian minister of the in- terior. “It was so im the time of Frederick the Great, when the ery was ‘the king needs soldiers,’ and it is 80 now. The state has the right to de- mand from those who till the soil that they shall produce healthy offspring and plenty of them.” Frick made this statement in addressing the first meeting of a commission of experts on popu- lation and racial policy. He began by pointing out that the number of births in Germany had declined from 2,000,000 per annum 30 years ago to 975,000. The birth rate of 36 a thousand has dropped to 15. The average; German family has shrunk from 2 or 3 children to one or no-child. Deficient On Increase “A most important and alarm- ing feature of the present situa- tion,” Frick continues, “is the mating of the bodily or mentally deficient. “Some authorities place the pro- portion of hereditary unsound in Germany as high as 20 pereent of the whole population. It would seem that sound stock is shrink- ing from generation to ‘and is doomed to die out. That would be the end of German kul- tur. “From an agrarian state we have changed to an_ industrial state. The industrialization of the nation has brought in its wake money worship, individualism, class antagonism, Marxism, ¢om-} ee and the decline of family ife, “Public opinion applauds women in business and sports. It takes but little interest in the wife and mother, We shall change all that,” Deeries “‘Maudlin Charity” Friek said that each criminal cost the state 3.50 marks; each lunatic 4 marks, each crippled Person or deaf mute 5 to 6 marks]. a day, whereas the unskilled laborer had to be content with a wage of 2.50 marks and the lower class employe or official with 4 marks, “Modern humanitarianism which allows the weak and degenerate to propagate their kind is nothing less than cruelty to the nation,” he asserted. “We shall refuse te be bound by maudlin notions of charity or by effete charch dog- mas.” “Husbands,” Prick —_ insisted, “must be given jobs, and wives must get back to housework. The big family ideal must be revived throughout the land. “Too long a period of pro- fessional training is just as bad for the timely founding of a family as too much time given up to sports.” JUNIOR JOURNALISTS MAKE TRY AT MERGER (By Asseetated Preas) RALEIGH, N, C., Aug. 3.—The merger idea has extended to ju- venile newspaper ranks here. Louis M. Connor, Jr, 14, and his rival publisher, Charles EF. Johnson, Jr, 12, were beset by the trials of keeping their over- head expenses down. So they put their heads together and out came the first issue of “The Raleigh Ga- tette.” a weekly sheet that com- bined the former Gazette and “The CaFrolina Weekly. Dr. G. M, Sehrany of the versity of British Columbia, has invented a machine operated on the ultra-violet ray principle, which, when a student passes in front of it, will flash a “welcome” sign if the student is on time, but will flash “late again” with a jangie of beils if the person is jate. England, as a nation, spends about $30,000,000 on laundry work, ginia, he has found verse JUDGE JEFFERSON B. BROWNE CAMPAIGN | tinguished eireuit judge we were almost ‘won over to the Burns-Brown- ing side, which he so eloquently up- held. His own poems first came to our attention when reading the manuseript of ‘“Seeond Florida Poets,” published last year by Henry Harrison. To this collection the judge contributed three pages. His has been an outstanding career that is closely linked with the his- tory of the development of Florida’s greatest period of growth. He has been president of the state senate, chief justice of the supreme court. chairman of the Florida railroad commission and, during Cleve- land’s administration, postmaster ‘of Key West. Born in this island city, the judge was graduated from! the law school of the University of Iowa and also attended Kenmore university at Amherst, Va. After visiting most of the talked-of _re- sorts of the world he is more than ever convinced that none comes up to Key West’s peculiar charm. His friend, Elbert Hubbatd, accepted for publication the following poem; but because of his untimely death, it makes its first appearance here: AN ADDITIONAL VERSE FOR KIPLING’S “IF” If curve of limb, or other charms of woman, Have never made you feel you were a man, Nor made you long to fold her to your bosom As only someone called her husband can; Hf virtue keeps you to the path of duty, And her inviting glances you ean shun,— Porgetful of her yielding lips, her beauty— You are a statue, not a man, my son. * Judge Browne's delightful Key West home is always open to his} friends, and many distinguished guests bear witness to the fact that he is the soul of hospitality. Since his early law student days in Vir- i a satisfying medium of expression, The fol lowing lines prove that he ean be serious on occasion: SACRIFICE (‘Into each life some rain must fall.’?) The gentle rains of sorrow, heaven-sent, Water the heart and soften while they chasten; But carking cares—the torment of the soul— Are tempests that no puny will can stay. They beat upon the spirit’s aspirations And leave the heart a sodden, sighing thing, Where buoyant life and love and expectation, Finding no welcome waiting, must take wing. God knows each heart and its capacity For anguis , and so tempers our afflictions; But they who suffer not are merciless. They worship but in words the Nazarene, Forgetting that He died upon the cross ‘Phat peace might come to weary, seeking hearts. Se must Love ever come through sacrifice. * Judge Browne, who is the author of an extensive history of his . home town, “Key West, the Old and New,” has contributed articles to generation} the National Geographie Magazine and The American ‘Law Review.

Near by, a full blown rose Holds in’ its crimson depths The treasure that the butterfly would claim. At last, weary and wounded, it flutters back to where The open flower waited longingly. But yesterday a loving hand placed it on the bosom Of a dead girl. How sad to find a resting place with death! And now the wounded wings of the butterfly are still. PRIV.
