 A popular toy innovation is a device which gives the child an opportunity to make his own ani- mated cartoons. This device con- sists of a screen, decorated to re- semble a theatrical curtain, a rack for holding flat films and four small electric light bulbs operated by two standard flashlight batter ies. By rotating a contact pointer the four bulks are illuminated one after another causing pictures to flash on the screen in quick suc- cession - thus producing realistic cartoon movies.

and cut off by the retreating Mex jeans.
 The Mexicans slaughtered the Texans with grapeshot. Thirty two were killed and number of others captured.
 Brigadier-General Somervell led Q force of Texans in pursuit of the enemy, who retreated across the Rio Grande. A force under Cap- tain William S. Fisher bolted and pursued the enemy across the river.
 On Christmas night, 1s42, the Texans attacked the Mexican Vil- lage of Mier. Fisher was wound ed and the Texans surrendered.
 They were marched toward Mexico City, but at Hacienda Sa- lado, 100 miles from Saltillo, they escaped. After wandering for days in the mountains, they were recaptured by a Mexican cavalry squad.
 One in Ten Executed
 General Santa Anna ordered one in each ten of the prisoners to bt shot. On March 25 they were made to draw beans from a pitcher held by an officer, It con- tained IT black beans and 159 white ones.
 That night the unlucky r were shot as they sat on log. The rest of the band, with the exception of Captain Ewing Cam eron, who was shot at later date, were taken to Mexico City and kept at hard labor for years. Eventually all were given their liberty.
 Later. during the war with Mexico, Texas members of Gen. eral ZaZch Taylor's army got an order on the alcalde of Hacienda Salado to surrender the remains of the IT Texans who were shot ther.
 They were brought, to La Grange, center of the district from which most of the Texans had come. A few years later the remains of the 36 killed at Salado Creek also were returned here.

Rabbi William P. Greenfield of the Beth Fl synagogue has taken as his topic for this evenings ser mon, the subject "Channkah-The Holiday for Genuine People,"
 The holiday of Channkah is in commemoration of the rededication of the temple on the 18th day of Kisley 165 before the Common Era. Upon this event Jews are told that the victorious army of Judas Mac cabees found oil in the temple which could last for only one day and which miraculously lasted for eight days. It is for this reason that Jews .kindle candles for eight nights at this season of the year.
 The Channakah sermon will treat with the problems of Israel in the days of the temple and their application in our own day.

booming to Begging

FACED with rising resentment against his food de-
struction program while millions of unemployed
starve, Roosevelt has been forced to promise winter
relief.
Roosevelt now makes the same promises to the un-
employed he has made to the employed. In the
factories his recovery" program spells wage cuts-to
the unemployed further starvation this winter
The announcement yesterday that seven hundred
million dollars will be appropriated for winter relief
save at first the impression that Roosevelt designated
funds in addition to what has already been allotted
This is fraud
What is actually happening, is that Roosevelt has
merely promised to $33oOoO000 from the SIS 900 OO0
600 fund appropriated for relief by Congress last spring
"a fund that should have been spent long time ago.
The balance is to be made up from existing relief funds
of state, county and municipalities In other words
contrary TO the implication of RooseveIts speech not
cent being added to the funds already designated
for relief
But, Roosevelt intends to go further. He wants To
eliminate the word cash from the vocabulary of the
jobless eagre food basket insufficient to hold out
for week.-Mrs. is his relief program basket of pro-
visions totally inadequate-and bushel of coal
But how about rent, medical needs, clothes, etc?
These of to the capitalist government!
1t is a program that reduces the millions of unem-
poyed workers to abject beggary starvation diet
THE unemployed rightfuly demand definite income
to assure ali needs for themselves and their fan1-
lies. But such assurance cannot come from starva-
ton food basket, but through Unemployment Insur-
ance. This will give the unemployed an income to pro-
vide for food clothing shelter and other minimum
needs
Despite his election promise to grant unemployment
relief, Roosevelt gives the that there are no
funds This is not The present administration au-
thorized $736 100000 through the RIG for loans to
banks and railroads It appropriated close to billion
dollars for the army and navy. But it will make no
appropriations for the workers, unless compelled by
the organized ed hv cJas
BY their organized strength the workers can force
the adoption of Unemployment Insurance.

Intervention Poison

FROM Oriente Province IN Cuba mas come q piece of
news that is terrifying the American agents Of Wall
Street imperialism in Havana.
And that Is the news that the sugar mills and
plantations in this province have been seized by armed
bands of Cuban and Negro workers united in revo-
lutienary solidarity
The seizure of the mills terrible enough to the
American mperialist exploiters.
But that they should have been seized by Negro
and whites together-this is truly terrifying to the
imperialist rllers
For IN Cuba, as in the United States the American
imperalst rulers try to race hatred and division
among their exploited slaves.
In the present fight of Wall Street against the revo
lutionary uprising of the Cuban workers. the American
press is resorting to its usual lynch provocations to its
old STALE disgusting lies about the honor of white
women. The dignfied New York Times carried the lie
that In Oriente Province where the ajority of the
population is Negro, white women are terrorized and
dare not leave their homes for fear of being attacked
by Negro men"
The poisonous rape" talk means that the American
destroyer anchored near the seized Oriente sugar
mills owned by Percy Rockefeller and Vincent Aston
getting ready for slaughter of the Cuban workers
Such talk means that the San Grau Government
is preparing to repeat the 1919 massacre of revolving
Negroes.
This vicious race hatred poison must be mme-
d1ately answered by the American white and Negro
workers together, united In their demand for the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the American batteships from
Cuban waters that all American Intervention in Cuba
must be stopped

What the Nazis Do to Men Who KnoaU Too Much

much too late. Goering expressly
forbade him to issue the general
alarm, saying: Fight the fire with
the apparatus you have here"
Gempp also told his fire depart
ment subordinates that when inspect
ing the burned Reichstag, he had
noticed huge quantities of unused
ir1cendiary material lying around
enough to fill a truck.
How Goering Shut Up Gemrp
Goerings answer was to suspend
Gempp and place him under charges
of-corruption. Goering did not have
the courage to deny Gempp's ac-
cusations, printed in the Saarbru-
ecken "Volkstimme" his only answer
was to suspend Gempp and place
him under charges of corruption.
Gempp weakened under the pressure
put on him and nearly four months
later issued a technical denial of
his charges against Goering. Such
delayed denial proves the truth
of the charges made.
They Knew Too Much
Three men who knew. too much
had been murdered-and one who
suspected a little was shut up by
the threat Of losing his job. No one
in Germany dares to mention the
names of Bell, Oberfohren or Han
ussen. They have vanished from the
scene and no paper dares to remind
its readers that they ever lived
they knew too much.

This letter cost Bell his life. He
had fed to Austria, fearing he would
be murdered by the unscrupulous
NaI overlords. But on April 3,
two automobiles filled with depend
able storm troopers crossed the
frontier from Munich into Austria
and drove up to the little inn where
Bell was hiding in the village of

and take him back to Maitland.
When he refused to go they shot
him dead. One mouth shut forever.
A Fortune Teller Predicts the Fire
Erik Hanussen, famous fortune
teller, said in a seance the day be-
fore the Reichstag fire: II see a
great house burning" In the issue
OF his weekly following the fire,
Hanussen wrote that he had known
in advance that the Reichstag was
going to be burned, but he could
not speak openly of it.
Now, Hanussen was an Intimate
friend of Count Helldorf, head of
the Berlin Nazis, and other high
Fascist officials. 1t is clear that
same leading Nazi must have tipped
Hanussen off before the Reichstag
fire, which enabled him to "foresee''
it. Hanussen must have known a
great deal.
Hanussen Taken For A Ride

long enough to enjoy the rule of
Hitler, which he had desired so

DR.. Oberfohren's Memorandum
Of the three men who knew the
secret of the. Reichstag fire Bell,
Hanussen and Oberfohren-Dr. Ober-
fohren was the most dangerous. Bell
was a political adventurer; Hanusser
was charlatan fortune teller. But
Oberfof1ren was an influential poll
tician, head of the Nationalist de-
puties in the Reichstag.
To weaken the Nazis and protect
his own party against its allies ef-
forts to smash 1t, Oberfohren wrote
memorandum exposing the Nazis'
plot to set the Reichstag on fire.
This memorandum appeared in the
Manchester Guardian on April rs

Oberfohren's Suicide"
Ten days later, DR.. Oberfohren was

men who knew too much would never
talk again.

BEIRUT, Syria, Sept. 10 tBy MaiD.
After striking for nine days, during
which time Beirut was without any
newspapers, the printers here have
won great victory. Most of their de-
mands we're granted, they will be al
lowed to organize trade union,
which the French colonial authorities
had denied them, and all arrested
strikers will be released. The strike
was under the leadership of the illegal
Communist Party of Syria, and the
strike victory had raised the Party'S
prestige tremendously.

Although the Nazi leaders had
kept their plans. for burning the
Reichstag as secret as possible, some
individuals-if1 the confidence of
Nazi headquarters or able to learn
the truth about the Reichstag fire
through their efhcial position--had
to be muzzled or put out of the way
to keep the Goering- Goebbels scheme
from disclosure.
Dr.. George. Bell, former member
of the Nazi General Staff and in
innate of Capt. Roehm, and other
highly-placed Fascist leaders, knew
van der Lubbe very we'll. The latter
told him all about the connections
he had formed with Nal circles in
Berlin and Munich.
DIR. Bell Lets the Cat Out of the Bag
Although Dr. Bell had been hos
tile to the Nazi Party for more than
a year he still had his intimates
within the Party who kept him in
formed of what was going on. He
knew, exactly what had taken place
when the Reichstag was burned. -Four
or five days after the fire, Bell be-
trayed what he knew about 1t to
a politician in the. Peoples Party.
The politician wrote to some of his
friends, telling them what Bell had
revealed to him, regarding the real
incendiaries. One of these letters
fell into the hands of Dalueges. the
chief of the secret rolice.
