Wick Company

GREENSBORO, N. c., Oct. Is
The management of the Wick Chem
rical company, makes Of Vicks Va
poRub, is too busy c~ultivating old
markets and creating new les to
give much thought to depression.
The Wick company Is a part OF
Drug, Inc, and in itself Is one OF
the largest proprietary organiza-
tons in the country. Its phenom-
email success during the past Is years
IS becoming more understandable
in the present situation. Its remedy
for depression is more work, more
employment ard greater expendi-
lures for marketing efforts-inclld-
ing an advertising appropriation
nor than doubled. This policy ap-
parently works-and has worked
throughout the life time Of the CON-
pany.
Early this season the management
announced the introduction of vick's
VapoRub in a new stainless white
form-'for those who prefer it."
Now the company is making an
other aggressive move. in the an
nouncement of two entirely new
products-Vicks Nose and Throat
Drops and Vicks Medicated Cough
Drops-present ! as worthy allies
Of Vicks VapoRub in the control Of
colds.''

1T Is the fallicious belief OF many
that the strong man. the masterful

Baum says. This is not so. Per-

look to him. lean on him, take
strength from his vitality.
Strong women may admire
strong. successful and self-aSsured
men, but love them or yearn ten
derry toward Their? No, I do not
think so. Most women are drawn
toward the weak male. It Is crafty
ing 10 a woman to feel that she

DAILY NEWS LETTER
By FREDERICK KUH

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 Berlin, (UP)-How the national ist opposition, the growth of which during the past year has written a new chapter in German history, visualizes the future of Germany, was described recently by one of its outstanding leaders, Franz Seldte, chief of the Stehlhelm or League of Front-Line Fighters"
 Seldte, Hitler and Hugenberg are recognized leaders of the na- tionalist movement throughout Germany, and 1t was Seldte and his Stahlhelm which organized the August g nationwide referendum against the Prussian government, which failed, but obtained a pop ular vote of nearly ten million.
 The keynote of his conversation was the importance he attaches to the restitution of German military prowess, its soldierly tradition and equality among the armed powers.
 we Stahlhelm men are not mill itarists in the old-fashioned sense of that word," Sedlte said. Tn deed, militarism is merely a dis tortion of a soldiers idealism. We are soldiers. We are not war-mon- gers. I would favor war, if 1t were still being fought with bows and arrows and slingshots. But nowa- days-when women and children will be gassed-no!
 Novel Proposal
 Asked his opinion as to the most effective solution of the problem of international disarmament, Seldte put forward a novel proposal.
 "Take the 26 European nations" i" he suggested. "and compute the average military strength of all of them. Let this average. which will amount to. approximately 30O,000 troops. serve as the level at which Germany and its neigh bors shall be allowed to maintain their armed forces"
 Seldte's scheme means that Ger many would be permitted to in- crease its army from 100000 to 300,000 troops.
 Soviet System
 Pursuing his observations Seldte suggested that the Soviet system may be nearing it's collapse.
 "There are many who believe, !" he added, "that between 1888 and 1885 a military dictatorship will be established in Russia and that such a regime would not push its influence into Europe, but devote it's energies to rebuilding Russia. Should this occur, German pio- neers would be destined to help reconstruct Russia: Russia would be our great market and a field for our engineers, teachers and technicians."
 Discussing Germany's acute a. nancial dilemma and the best means to combat it, Seldte said eff I had my way, we would tell the allies that Germany is ready to repay its private debts. com
