1t is not especially reassuring TO learn that Adolf
Hitler promises. If he ever comes to power in Ger
many. that he will do everything he can to evade
fulfillment by Germany Of internationa! treaties.
Since Hitler's Fascist party made such a spectacu-
lar gain in the last election. and since there are so
many strong rumors Of an impending 'putsch,' or
forcible seizure Of power, by this party. the chances
Of Hitlers coming to power are not quite as remote
as one might wish: and if he ever does come to DOW
er resolved to carry out the program he has outlined,
you may rest assured that Europe will have plenty
of trouble.
that many Of the international treaties under which
Germany now labors are unjust and should be re-
vised. but sudden. forcible revision such as Hitler adj
vocates could orly mean war. This Austrian politici-
an seems to rank now as the leading source Of danger
in all Europe.

Pies and Their Crusts

Heresies In the matter of food have been spread
ing throughout the land Of recent years: but no
heresy more Fundamental or sweeping has yet ap-
peared than the bland assertion in a recent cook
book that pies. especially apple pies. should be baked
without any bottom crust. since nobody ever eats the
bottom crust anyhow"
Here is a blow square at the jaw Of one Of Ameri-
cas- greatest institutions. This nation was nourished
throughout its youth on apple pie. In Boston, cradle
Of liberty. they cat apple pie for breakfast, and thrive
on ii. And any genuine. dyed-in-the-wool pie-eater
would as soon think OF leaving the bottom crust un-
eaten as he would forget to honor his wifes birth
day.
The man who. tackling a piece Of pie, leaves SIC
bottom crust to its ovn devices. bare and forsaken,
is no true pie addict. II was not By such men that
our nation became great. Pie was made 10 be eaten.
and the under crust is its chief jewel and It's great
est glory.

A committee of the American Bar Association. ap-
pointed to study lawless methods OF law enforcement.
recently made this report concerning police brutality
I'VE can only say that the third degree in the
sense Of rigid and severe examination Of men under
arrest by police officers or prosecuting attorneys or
both Is used almost everywhere, If not everywhere. in
the United States"
There is nothing in that remark that has not been
suspected by most people who devote any thought 10
such things: but the statement is disturbing enough,
In all conscience. and it probably will be the jump
ing-off place for a new campaign against third de-
gree methods everywhere.
Now the third degree is a disgrace to civilization,
and deserves no defense. But while we are campaign
ing against 1t, we might as well look a little further
and figure out just what il is that causes the third
degree to be so generally used.
Policemen and prosecutors. TO begin with, are no
more brutal than the rest Of us. Some Of them are
hard-boiled and a very few are downright cruel, but
in the main they are pretty representative citizens,
as decent ana kind-hearted as their jobs will let
them be. Why. then, does the ordinary man who is
arrested as a suspect in a crime take it for granted
that he will be kicked and cuffed and bruised and
whipped when he reaches the station house?
The real reason probably lies, not in the police sta
tion, but in the courts Of justice.
The average policeman is pretty cynical about the
courts. He sees notorious rogues 60 into court and
come off scot free because Of the Vaccinations Of
clever lawyers. the interminable delays OF legal pro-
cedure, the favoritism Of judges, the intimidation OF
turies or the connivance Of INSCRIPTIONS court at
taches. He knows that a~rresting a criminal is much
easier than convicting him. He knows that there are
often wheels within wheels in his citys legal ma
chinery.
So it has become a police axiom that the case
against a suspect is hardly complete without a signed,
sworn confession; and it is the eagerness TO get this
confession-born of the sad knowledge that without
it the best case In the world may fall through-that
causes the third degree.
AL of this. of course. does not form an excuse. No
language is strong enough to condemn the practice
OF torturing prisoners into making confessions. But
understanding this background may help us in the
task of eliminating the third degree. Concentrating
our energies on the courts might do more good than
simply calling policemen names.

Chain cigar stores are now selling books. This may
or may not do something to disprove the old adage
that you can't tell a book by its wrapper.
When a clerk sees a customer enter a cigar store
these days he doesn't know whether he Is a tobacco
addict or a bookworm. He is at a loss to classify him
as a heavy smoker or a light reader. The hardest Job
a cigar store clerk is having is to break himself o.
the habit Of saying, when a customer picks out a
book. Gould we interest you in a box Of those at 4
special price for this week only?"
An executive of a leading chain of stores is quoted
as saying he is having great difficulty stopping clerks
from offering a packet OF matches with every novel.
I'm sure you'll like that one" the clerk is apt u
say to a man who has just selected the book OF the
month. 1t will burn evenly"
Or conversely. ITS a pleasure to sell you that cigar,
sir. 1t has suspense. power. action and plenty of
color. / don't know a smoke on the market that por-
trays life more wildly. You can tell before you are
half way through that cigar that the author has lived

toner.

cigar clerk.
Fairly strong" replies the customer.
Something with a good filler suggests the clerk.
DO you inhaler"
Il inhale the lighter novels. but not the stronger
one My doctor says I shouldn't"
Are you q heavy reader?"
"Oh, I smoke two or three novels a day"
Or maybe the customer comes in for a cigar.
Il want something in a good panatela." he says

Il don't quite follow you. What do you recon-
mend?"
Customers are as confused as the clerks. II fire.
