Propaganda is like monoxide gas; it cannct be discerned until too late. | A New York physician has caused a good deal of worrying by declaring that “worry kills only fools.” One trouble with the world is the un- official efficiency experts who try to man- -_age everybody’s business. 2 Whether the sign reads “Drive Slow” or “Drive Slowly” don’t quibble about the grammar, but heed the sign.

Politicians treat newspapers like calves treat their mothers when they stray, _but they always return when milking time comes ’round. Orville Wright was a great aeronaut but not a good prophet. He said: “The airplane will end war, for when the men “_who make war find their lives in danger, they will be less likely to decree war.” When a sweet young thing tells a strong young man how wonderful he is, Cupid looks for other work to do.—Key West Citizen. In other words you’ve got romance on your hands.—Sanford Herald. Most men in London when asked by -the Air Raid division if they suffered from claustrophobia, which means confinement in narrow places, answered “No.” When -the chief of the women’s division asked the girls if they suffered from claustro- phobia, explaining it meant being afraid of confinement, 95 per cent of them an- “gwered “Oh, yes.” Vociferating before the Reichstag as he was about to start hostilities against Poland, Hitler exclaimed he would put on the coat he wore during the World War and vowed not to take it off until Ger- many had achieved her just demands, but he shed the coat pretty quickly when of- ficers of the German army advised him «that it would make him conspicuous and the enemy might take a pot shot at him. | Under all circumstances Adolf may be. “¢ounted upon to save his own skin.

On July 8, 1932, | less than three years later, when the bot- | tom dropped out of the “two cars in every | garage” era, the same stocks averaged a ‘low of $33.98. None of the experts fore- | saw the coming decline that caused a drop | that averaged 277.92 points. Today the same fifty stocks are at an | average of around $109.58, according to last week’s ‘quotations.

The first would involve bold offen- sives on land and sea, with the army suffering terrific losses in attack-on the Siegfried line and the British fleet gambling its safety in a desperate effort to crash the narrow waters that lead into the | Baltic Sea, where direct attacks upon Ger- | many would be possible, even at enormous losses. The other line of battle evolved upon | a more cautious strategy. This included a | strict blockade of Germany by the British fleet in the North Sea, the elimination of German shipping from the oceans of . the | world, and the gradual economic strang- | involved no! For the | ‘French army it meant a slow assault upon ulation of Germany. This great risks for the British fleet. German defenses, with prolonged artillery preparations and the saving of the lives of French soldiers. It is plain to see that the British and the French have adopted the safe but slow process. The preliminary moves have been made to test German defenses in or- der to determine whether a weak link in the chain of armor invited a major offen- | sive move. So far, nothing has developed to indicate that such a weakness has been found although the feeling-out process is still underway. A POLITICAL PUZZLE Entirely aside fro siderations, the appointment of Paul V. McNutt, former governor general of the Philippines, to head the important new Social Security administration is quite puzzling to political observers. This is especially so because McNutt has not been considered a stalwart New Dealer; in fact; he has not been in high favor with President Roagsevelt’s closest advisers, nor with the chief executive him- | self. McNutt was the only Democrat to appear to be seeking the 1940 nomi- nation for President regardless of Mr. Roosevelt’s wishes until a short time ago. He later intimated that he would not op- pose the President if he sought a third term. It appears to be understood that Mr. MeNutt will go on with his campaign for convention delegates, with the reservation that he will step aside if Roosevelt finally decides to run. In that event, many be- lieve McNutt may be favored by Roose- velt for the vice-presidential nomination. The situation appears to leave sev- eral Democratic aspirants such as Farley, Wallace, Hull and others, who have been staunch administration supporters, out in the cold. Anyway, the appointment of McNutt to such a powerful post in the ad- ministration has left the politicians gasp- ing. It is the most surprising appointment by President Roosevelt since he named Hugo Black to be, associate justice of the Supreme Court. x ; Police may not be interested in the stock market, nevertheless they are al- ways looking for bonds—vagabonds.
