- RERLIN, March 31.-Nazi storm
+rooners today cleared Berlin law
courts of Jewish judges and at
torneys. Among those ousted was
Chief Justice Kurt Soelling.
Reports from the United States
that Chancellor Hitler's Nazi party
might be persuaded at the last
. minute to refrain from launching
its drastic economic war on Jewry
tomorrow seemed only to add fuel
to the fire.
A new proclamation defined the
action as the beginning of a war
on the entire Jewish race of the
world. A party declaration said
it will be fought until victory is
ours"
Elaborate Plans Made.
The Jews, their backs to the wall as
their last appeals for mercy fell on deaf
ears, have visualized their financial ruin
and ultimate isolation from German
cities and towns.
Such elaborate plans were being made
for the beginning at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning, of the nationwide boy
colt on all businesses and professions
conducted by Jews, and even Christian
Jews, that there was no apparent loop
hole left for retreat.
But there was no tendency in that
direction as propaganda was poured
through every available channel to stir
up national feeling against what the
NaZis called the international con-
spiracy Of Jewry
Chancellor Hitler's old battle cry
that Jews and the stock exchanges
started the World War" was revived in
today's proclamation, issued by the
Central Boycott Committee.
Judah Is stabbing Germany in the
back with the same methods it en-
ployed to perpetrate the criminal World
War. Again Judah is at work calum-
mating the German people as Huns and
barbarians," said the proclamation.
Reports from U. S. Cited.
Reports from the United States that
the boycott would be called off were
cited in the press. The newspaper
Angriff, edited by Joseph Goebbels, the
new minister of propaganda, In the
Hitler cabinet, seemed particularly 1r-
ritated by these reports.
I'm some sections of the American
press, Germanys counter-measures are
being answered by renewed demand
for a boycott of German goods" it said
Tcmorrow's boycott was planned to
punish German Jews for the alleged
spread of "atrocity stories abroad.
The Nazis profess to see an interna-
tional Jewish plot at work, such as
they have always blamed for the ills
that befell Germany as result Of the
Wcrld War.
Several hundred thousand brown
-shirted Nazis are to begin the picketine
of Jewish establishments throughout
the country and already have beer
delegated to their posts. In many town:

To allow sale Of beer in naval sta

be permitted to be sold or imported for
consumption the President will have
to approve a change in the present
naval regulations which prohibit "any
alcoholic liquors" within naval stations,
on ships or in Marine barracks.
Army regulations of 1929 prohibit

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

If it's true that the wizards Of food
craft
Now are serving the fruit of the pen.
No longer shall I
Heave a heart breaking sigh
That l can't be in Paris again.
Plumb Reckless.
We eat a lot more than We need to;
The Chinaman lives upon rice,
And a handful day,
So the scientists say.
For his needs will far more than
suffice
Were 1 fed on well-balanced diet
I might live till a hundred and two,
But ! hardly would care
TO exist on fare
That l hated like poison, would you?
We are prone to waste money on pleas
ure.
Yet there's nothing the Eskimo knows
Of high-pOWerad cars
Or half-dollar cigars,
Gin fizZes and cinema shows.
But the climate the Eskimo lives in.
And the chances he often must run,
And his one dinner dish
Which is nothing but fish
Wouldn't bring ME a great deal OF
fun.
If I only knew how TO be thrifty
And to do as liked all the while.
And still take in a fight
Now and then in a night
I could always be clad in a smile.
But as far as I'm morally certain.

So. although 1 don't lay
Any fortune away
I shall live while 1 live while I'm

/ tainly the hands suggested above fall
| far short of the requirements either
for an opening bid of more than one, or
for second-round jump bid Of any kind.
They need little more than the ability
to rebid over the minimum raise in
some form other than a rebid to three
hearts.
Minimum Raise in a Minor Suit With
a Singleton.
Since We are now providing great dis
tributional inducements for suit play,
the no-trump angle is less dominant
than in the hand patterns previously
considered in this connection. When
the singleton is in the other minor suit
and there are four cards in each major
suit, game prospects are sweet II the
opening bidder can bid either major
suit secondarily. Consequently. If I
hold four headed by face card in both
major suits, will give raise, hoping
to induce a secondary bid of one OF the
majors. If my partner rebids in terms
of my singleton suits, no-trump game
is not outside the bounds of probability;
while if this minor-suit bidding should
induce an opponent to overcall in a
major in the two range, penalty is in
view. With

but will not go down more than one or
at most two if every play failS'D. A
diamond break and a successful spade

are not opened and the spade finesSe

ones in each ma jor think would pass
and make it easy for the opponents to
bid. If they bid clubs l can give be-
lated diamond raise on defensive
grounds. If they bid a major I must
hope they will bid too high and misplay

Musk Turtle.
ArOmOcheIys 0dOratus.

ArOmOCnclyS OuOratuS.
TIMID and always seeking q plsce
in which to hide. is the common
musk turtle. Her movements
i are deliberate and show tend
ency to 60 about her affairs in
q methodical manner.
Musk turtles can live q long time
under water without discomfort. Pond
or river turtles would soon die of ex-
haustion and drown. If they could not
come up often for fresh air.
Except for the purpose of getting her
family settled in a fine sand nul sery,
this turtle spends all of her days creep
ing about the bottoms of streams and
ponds, hunting for food to satisfy her
voracious appetite. Should you dis
turb her, she will snap a: YOU v.ciously
and shoot off her offensive gas bomb.
Once the spray Of musk comes in con-
tact with your flesh ur clothes, 1t will
take much effort on your part to re-
move the odor. It has clinging effect.
When the warm sunny days arrive,
the musk turtles seek shallow water in
which to lie and take a sun bath. At
such times many Of them are found
together and are easily caught.
The upper shells of these turtles are
rather narrow. They are oval, highly
arched, and much wider than the lower
one. This arrangement makes 1t i'm
possible to draw the two shells to-
gether for closing purposes. The head
is very large, the snout conical and
tapering, the jaws strong and capable
Of giving a painful bite
When youthful turtles have a brighter
color, the older turtle gets, the duller
