GERMANY AND THE JEWS

M1STREATMENT of the Jews by the
Nl new government in Germany is one
of the best indications of that govern
ment's weakness. It denotes a species of
mob rule and while it may function for
time it is doomed to collapse
Aside from the fact that the old idea
of prosecuting a man for his religious
beliefs or because of his race has long
since been cast into the discard. Ger
many is extremely foolish in mistreat-
ing the Jews thereby ieopardizing her
commercial and industrial security.
Moreover it will array against her on
the moral side at least, the leading ma
tions of the world.
Germany owes much to her Jewish
citizens, who have been among the most
loyal and industrious in the nation.
If sample is needed of the foolish
ness of Germany's present program, the
case of Professor Einstein may be cited
There is no more outstanding scientist
in the world, yet Einstein dares not go
back to his home That it is not an idle
fear is proved by the fact that his house
was searched this week by a group of
Nazi fanatics, looking for arms. The
professor probably knows what gun is,
and again he might not.
Stories of cruel beatings, torture and
even death, inflicted on men who served
Germany loyalty during the World war
and SINCE and whose only offense is be-
ing true to the religion and race of their
fathers, have been frequent in Ger
many. Lately threat has been made
that any harm caused to Hitler, regard
less of who may be responsible for it,
will be followed by massacre of Jews.
Following such a course will deprive
Germany of any right to claim the re-
spect of the world and will inflict upon
her injury which will be as costly and
as far reaching as another war.

AFTER HALF cENTuRY-

In 1874 a traveller named Rohlfa
crossed the Libyan desert in the d.
rection of Kufra, which the Italians
recently captured from the Senussi
tribes. Rohlfa wrote a message Civ
ing his own name and the date, en-
closed it in a bottle, buried it in the
sand at a place called Regnfld, and
returned to civilization. The bottle
and the message have now been dis
covered. The Arctic embalms it's se-
crets for hundreds of years, the bod
les of men in the ice, their writings,
their foods. their property; but who
would expect such fidelity in the
burning sands of the wilderness,
where wood and horn and glass and
even fingernails split in the heat, and
hair falls out?

menf. Tne men addressed their OH
GERS as il they were all having q noon
hour In the hay field. Even the cap
tain was Amos to every private.
It was then probably the most re-
markable army the world has seen-a
fair Of good-natured, gossiping, home
sick, peace-loving pioneers quartered
In lines of tents and lodges and in
public buildings.
Outside the tents and lodges they
saw numbers of women at work wash
ing, some with young children playing
around the tubs. They had come to
look after their husbands, to see that
they were fed and kept decently clean,
and nursed If wounded. They had
lodgings in the village and came daily
into camp. What contrast were
these to the half-world women who
were wont to infest an army! There
were fourteen thousand two hundred
men in this great jolly fair Of new
world pioneers. The churches and the
college halls were filled with them.
Officers not properly uniformed were
distinguished from privates by ribbons
on their caps.
It was early July and the dress was
mainly like that Of the hay field and
barnyard. There were even men wear
ing one suspender, an undershirt and
ragged trousers over bare feet. There
were boards of many shapes and
colors.

whose children won't
EAT

Nature knows best. Never coax
child to eat! Remove the cause of
a youngsters poor appetite. When
appetite fails, tongue is coated
white, eyes are a bilious yellow,
don't give small children a consti-
pating cathartic that drains the sys-
tenn. California syrup of figs is all
the 'medicine' they require.
Specialists will tell you that a
sluggish appetite almost always
means the child has a sluggish
colon. Correct this condition called
stasis, and see how quickly list.
less, dropping boy or girl begins to
eat-and gain! The only medicine"
such children seem to need is pure
unadulterated fig syrup.
Children who get syrup Of figs
now and then, soon have the appe
tite and energy Of young animals
They keep we'll and avoid colds and
sluggish spells.
Nature never made a finer laxa-
tive for children; and they all love
the wholesome, fruity flavor Of the
real California syrup of figs. It's
purely vegetable, but every druggist
has it all bottled, with directions.
T,egin with it at once. The very
next day, your child will be eating
better and feeling better. Keep on
with the syrup of figs few days
and see amazing improvements in
appetite, color, weight, and spirits.
The promises made by the bott1ers
Of California Syrup Of Figs are true,
and it will do the same for you, If

"And they slide in all directions,

ble idea. It is easy to imagine the flood of petitions that the directors of this work would receive if once it became noised around the nation that money was obtain able for the mere asking.
 There are in every town or city many public improvements that could be done 1t the money was only forthcoming. But great many of them can certainly not be listed as absolutely necessary. And it IS in this last category that the government will expect demands to be made for him to loos- en his purse strings. We surely would say that any money that could be guaranteed to enable Connecticut towns to end pollution of streams. ponds and the Sound would be worthy of speedy attention. That's why we have mentioned frequently the fact that Wa terbury might finish its sewage disposal plans with federal funds.
 Highways and streets are not necessarily makeshifts yet they can not be put ahead ot other projects, such as water supplies. etc. And then again the financial condition of the applicant will surely play an important part in this little matter of borrowing Uncle Sam's money. Only those who can show willingness to go half way will be favored. That's natural. Why should Uncle Sam expect to help out defaulting municipal ity. even though the public at large may not be at fault. If you've got something of value to your community in mind the chances are it will appeal to Uncle Sam too, his policies for labor and loan applications Iare well defined and won't be changed for each individual case. The test must be met.

Tomorrow's the Day

When the sun sets tomorrow night Con- necticut will have joined the small but select group of states that are formally opposed to the 18th amendment. Fifty delegates gather in Hartford tomorrow to cast their ballots for the federal amendment repeating that on prohibition. The assembly will be more or less perfunetory. as no other business comes before the delegates but that for which they were elected. There will be no con- test nor minority report even, as the 50 delegates are of one mind.
 However, that does not mean the state convention will be without some excitement Already hint of contest looms in the candidates of two of the distinguished delegates for the office of permanent chair man of the convention. It seems to be the consensus that former Judge Leonard J. Nickerson shall be the temporary chairman. But the position >of permanent chairman is the one now being debated Originally it was intended to elect former Governor John H. Trumbull to that office. But last minute decision may change that election.
 Attorney Lueius F. Robinson, ST. of Hartford is now being boomed for the chair manship in view of the fact that he is &C., knowledged as the wet leader of the state. He is director of the Association Against the Eighteenth and for many years has cam paigned to make Connecticut not merely wet in name but also in practice by having 1t go on record as opposed to the 18th amend ment. Sentiment seems to be that in view of Attorney Robinson's past work for the cause he is entitled to any honor connected with the states final abjurement of prohi- bition.
 In view of the fact that Tuesdays meet ing will be of short duration and involve nothing more than formal casting of votes, it does seem as if any contest would be well eomed by the delegates. Let's have lively tilt to decide the chairmanship with those stalwarts-Lucius F. Robinson, ST, and John H. Trumbull as the opponents.

Our Daily Washington Letter
 BoOtlegging Is Likely Even If Repeal Passes
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

officials believe, since taxes will make the legal article dearer.
 
 Old Tax Ineffective.
 Contrary to common belief, the old federal tax of $6.40 a gallon on spirits will not become auto matically effective when repeal is achieved. The tax was $1.10 until wartime, when it was doubled.
 Just before prohibition became effective it was hiked to $6.40 for beverage spirits and $2.20 for non- beverage spirits. But in 1925 the rate was fixed at $1.10 on non- beverage spirits with 8 $6.40 tax on those diverted for beverage purposes"
 Dr. James M. Doran, commits sioner of industrial alcohol, says this means that after repeal there will be no tax except the $1.1O impost until congress makes a change. Congress is expected to act rapidly and will place the rate much nearer the former $6.40. A Senator's Fame.
 The fame of Senator Edward P. Costigan of Colorado, who was more effective than any other banking committee member in seeing that the facts about J. P. Morgan & Co. were publicly re- vealed, has spread across the sea.
 He recently received a letter from a lady named Costigan in London, who seeks relative over here of the same name, addressed: Senator B. P. Costigan, House of Morgan, Washington, D. C." Copyright, 1893, NEA Service. Inc.

Present Imitation

The present unexampled business recovery in this country. financial writer remarks, has come without the use, to date. of single dollar of imitation. Indeed, currency ejaculation has shrunk. It is mainly the result. he says. of speculation - the buying of stocks and commodities "predicated on fear. hope or threat of inflation.' There were other causes, of course In this pro- cess" cash has been converted into equities on vast scale. People have bought seeurl- ties and goods because they thought their cash was going to be worth less, or the goods bought were going to be worth more.
 The strengthened buying of commodities is altogether wholesome. It replenishes fail ing supplies. makes work. revives industry, improves living. gets unusual value for the money spent. The frantic buying of stocks and bonds is not SO good. While it revives sound investment values sunk to ruinous levels and helps banks and insurance eom- panies nightly. it also draws millions of people again into the old speculative mael- strom. Unfortunately 'real estate, which endures when stocks evaporate. has not yet benefitted from this new spending wave. It will probably have its turn again soon. But reality taxation must be made farer and wiser.

You hear lots of idle talk about the lawyers as a profession in far from com plimentary language. But this case cer- tainly proves that they have their bad moments just as all of us. In fact. here's case of where the lawyer came out far worse than his client In 1927 Henry T. Olson was convicted of a murder He was sentenced to life in Joliet, but fled while mo- tion for new trial was pending. While he was in seelusion two youths were arrested and confessed to the murder. They were sen- tenced. Olson brought suit against his at- torney and he has just been awarded $29.- 250 damages. Several of the witnesses called in the damage suit testified that the aceused's counsel knew at the time of the murder trial that his client was innocent yet failed to save him from conviction. Here's the setting for dandy movie scenario or betetr still stage play And yet it's all stranger than fiction because it's the truth. It should impel the legal fraternity to take more care perhaps in the preparation of their cases. Certainly it ought to persuade any lawyer that it doesn't pay to consider his chances of securing an aequittal lightly.

Measuring Weather Man

The much-berated weather man must get little satisfaction now and then from the way humbled public turns to him for in- formation and comfort when there is any unusual meteorological manifestation. For example. in the middle west the excessive heat and drouth of June were broken on July 2 by sudden shifts of atmospheric pressure creating strong winds. Rain accom- panied the change generally. In one city, the most amazing clouds came interminably from the northeast. They were fast-mov- ing. dark. ominous-looking The local weather bureau was besieged with telephone calls from frantic individuals demanding, Is anything going to happen'" They feared the worst.
 The foreeaster was able to reply cheerfully that the cloud bank was not usual summer condition, but nothing of any particular
 significance" By actual measurement at tae local airport, the clouds were found to bs just 1000 feet from the ground and travelling at 32 miles an hour. But they were not bearing destruction and disaster.

 kill Pointing finger at calamity. The chimney stands. And somehow it seems

AUSTRALIANS TENNIS AGE
(New\York Herald -Tribune)

Jack Crawford of Sydney, Aus tralia, in turning back our Amer ican thunderbolt, Ellsworth Vines, at Wimbledon leaves no doubt that he is one of the elect in the long series of great players at lawn tennis. Both he and Vines have had the better of Cochet this summer. It was nip and tuck for
 five sets yesterday between the two young stars, and 1t will prob- ably be so as often as they meet, now that Crawford has gained the assurance which was the one winning quality he seemed at times to lack.
 When he first appeared in world tennis five years ago the Australian ace was recognized by keen judges as a potential" champion. His game even then had a beautiful finish. He possessed every stroke, a style of perfect Smoothness, physique for tennis. It has seemed curious year after year that a man who appeared to be the beau ideal of tennis player did not rise quite to the top. Whatever the missing factor may have been, 1t is evil dent that Crawford has supplied the final touch to his competitive temper, having everything else that he needed to hold his own, if not more, with a Cochet and a Vines. On the court and off everybody says of Jack Crawford that he Is "one of the most charming and likeable fellows in the game" It is Q pleasure to congratulate him upon his well earned victory at Wimbledon. The possible match before long between Crawford and Vines in a Davis Cup round is exciting to anticipate.

so THE SKIN ABsoRBs NICOTINE?

A florist at work in his greenhouse sat down on chair on which some nicotine solution (one of the various spray liquids used against plant pests) and his clothes were wet through with the poison for an area the size of the palm. He continued working, but in about 15 minutes he was taken with nausea and faint ness He took a drink of water and immedi- ately vomited and continued to retch. He went out in the open air and found himself in a drenching sweat His breathing became la bored and painful. He was taken to the hos- pital in ambulance On the way to the hos- pital he lost consciousness ana did not recover consciousness till three hours later. He lay semiconscious, writhing moaning, gasping, with rapid 40 respirations. irregular heartbeat S6. rectal temperature lowered to 95.6 F. pu- pills pinpoint, pulse feeble, extremities cold, no tendon reflexes.
 They puzzled to the diagnosis. The patient was given stimulating hypodermic in- jections and external heat applied
 Next day he was recovered except for some oppression under the breastbone weakness and slight nausea. He was discharged on the fourth day. His clothes had been put away in they had been wet with the nicotine solution. But he dressed and went his way rejoicing.
 But within an hour affer leaving the hospital he again seized with nausea vomiting, sweating and difficulty in breathing (painfuliy reminiscent of that first cigar, eh. fellows?) and was readmitted to the hospital. He was not so sick this time, but left after four more days. Three weeks later he still complained of weakness, sweating, vertigo change of position. insomnia nervousness. and constant sense of pressure under the breastbone worse on exertion.
 (Here it is fair to say that an insurance company was interested in the mans disability. That may account for some of the symptoms that persisted.)
 The man was in good health four months later, but he said he was unable to go into q greenhouse where the nicotine spray was being used without suffering immediate nausea. The man, by the way, has long smoked and still enjoys five six pipefuls daily.
 The Boston doctor reporting the case arbi- trariy asserts that the nicotine was absorbed directly through the skin. Then. like regular scientist" he cites some experiments to sus- tain his funny notion. The fur was carefully shaved from part of the belly of a ca., unan- esthetized but fastened on its back to Q board. Some of the same 40 per cent nicotine solution used for spraying was poured over this area and gently sopped and rubbed in with the gloved finger. The area thus wet with nico- tine covered with an inverted glass dish held down tightly with adhesive tape. Why? The scientist" says ito prevent the fumes from escaping"
 Aha-so there are fumes to be taken into consideration? The method described would hardly prevent fumes from escaping though 1t might make evaporation less rapid. It takes very little nicotine fumes to poison a small animal, when inhaled. The experiment is not scientific at all, unless control animals are used with provision against inhalation of any of the fumes.
