Danger Ahead

A dangerous note is sounded in Germany by Adolph
Hitler, leader Of the German fascist party. in a book.
My Fight" which outlines the party's aims.
Fascist Germanys foreign policy would aim at the
conquest OF Russia. a vast territory demoralized by
bolshevism. as he puts it.
Hitler is very plain In stating Gernany's selfish
aims in the proposed conquest. Germany must expand
her borders. God did not give her the lands she now
has; she fought for them. That is Herr Hitler talk
ing.
The German fascists are stirring their country.
though as yet they remain in the minority. Under
such an ambitious leader as Hitler, they could do
their own nation and the world inestimable damage
II they ever were given control Of the government.
Germany has q problem on her hands. And the
world must keep watch, lest another catastrophe such
rs swept Europe but few years ago is not repeated
Evidently, the costly lesson taught then has not stuck
very well in some minds.
Italys fascist are making an aggressive military
government out Of that peninsula country. Gremany'
fascists will do the same for Germany. But in Germ
any. held tight within boundaries which the German
people know are too combining. the thunder means
more than just a military government. it means
war and international bloodshed If 1t prevails.
The world is keeping an eye on Adolph Hitler and
his party. ~fearfully hoping the ambitions by this
radical party may be suppressed by good sense on
the part of the German people.

Hab You a Cobb?

Several Of US are suffering from the sniffles these
days, and IL is all our fault. So the doctors tell us,
and they will tell you. too, II you ask. And then they
will prescribe-ah, me, no. not that-prescribe some
thing to be pumped up into your head that will burn
as If 1t we're kerosene. II you survive that, they will
give you castor oil. put you on an orange diet, and
order you to walk five miles in the sun At least, some
OF them will.
Better than killing colds, Of course. is avoiding
them. The medical profession has been striving on
this problem. year in and out, and some washington
statistician has been calculating the billions lost to
industry each year through common colds. All very
comforting: but II does not make a cold comfortable.
But as DR.. Edens kindly advised us, take a mid
die course in what you do-wear middle weight cloth
ing. eat middling-heavy food, sleep a middling
amount. and probably you won't get a cold. But there
are some Of us who Just viii show off our new fall
,clothes. no matter how hot the day. and we are those
Who take colds. And no one is more miserable, unless
he have hayfever.

The shopping trip Friday morn

Mrs. Parsons ask to be shown sport

There were others to follow like

chases Mrs. Parsons made.

Letter of the Law

The 18th amendment and laws passed hereunder
forbid possession Of spirituous liquors. as well as their
manufacture. sale, or transportation. Now Amos
woodcock. national prohibition enforcement head,
has decreed that no warrants shall be issued for liquor
possession If neither sale, manufacture. nor trans
p~ortation IS involved.
This is the way the law has been enforced in Texas
for years. save in sporadic cases: Yet more strict than
the Jones law, or other enforcement statutes.
