GOOD OUT OF EVIL

Although the world deplores the anti
Jewish laws of Adolph Hitler. at least
one Interpretation of them will be of
much benefit to the United States and
will not cause resentment by very many
Americans.
Because of the bar Madame Ernestine
Schumann-Heink cannot return to her
native Germany. It has been discovered
that her grandmother was Jewish. This
terrible fact, coupled with the effects of
propaganda stirred against her in Ger
many four years ago, because she loves to
sing THE Star Spangled Banner will
prevent this grand old lady from visiting
her native land.
As she is we'll along in years, It is con-
sidered likely that the Hitler dictum will
serve to keep her in the United States
more than ever, and this. we believe, will
bring Joy to millions of Americans who
love the eminent diva, not only for her
splendid singing, but for her wonderful
personality.
The propaganda started against her in
Germany four years ago, had its origin in
the fact that she sang for American SOL
diers during the World war. One of her
sons was in the German army and was
killed in action. Four others served in
the United States forces. Few Of Us can
appreciate how her mothers heart must
have been torn asunder by the position in
which fate had placed her or the magnifi-
cent loyalty she has for her adopted land,
enabling her to do her part for those who
were in conflict with her own flesh and
blood and with the land which gave her
birth.
Comparing the narrow-mindednes Of
Hitler and his followers, with the broad
tolerance which is Schumann-H -Heink's Civ
es all the glory to her and emphasizes
the foolishness of the course which the
little chancellor of the German nation has
adopted and which must eventually re-
suit in his downfall.
If the present Germany does not want
Schumann-Heink it is Americas gain. We
not only want her but there are several
million war veterans who might get ram
bunctious if anyone tried to take her away
from US They don't call her Mother
Schumann-Heink for nothing.

BEDTIME STORIES

, used to sleep in a sand cave under
his shack to keep cool. But when
Mr. Longears arose early that
morning to seek an adventure be-
fore breakfast, neither Mr.. White
wash nor Mr. Stubtail was up yet.
But they may be along pretty
soon!" said Uncle Wiggily, as he
finished making one strong chair
and started on a second. He was
thinking how he would get some
large clam shells of which TO make
dishes to have a party if the two
bears came to visit him, when, all
Of a sudden, Uncle Wiggily heard
footsteps on the sand outside his
seaweed tent. He knew that some
visitors were coming. Who were
they?
Hal Perhaps this is Mr.. White
wash or Mr.. Stubtail now,' exclaim-
ed the rabbit gentleman as he look
ed out of the open side
But, to his disappointment, he
saw the Fox and the Bob Cat.
Those two Bad Chaps had come
down to the Seashore on purpose
to poster, tease and bother Uncle
Wiggily. Once they had been tossed
into the ocean. but they got out
again and here they were.
"Ha! Ha! Hal" laughed the Bob
Cat.
"Ha! Hal Hal" laughed the Fox.
What is SO funny?" asked Uncle
WEgily, net even twinkling his
pink nose.
1T is so funny that we have
caught you again" snickered the
Fox.
For now we are going to eat
you!" said the Bob Cat
Uncle Wiggily knew he must be
extra jolly clever this time to get
away from the Bad Chaps. All of a
sudden, he thought of trick.
We'll, you have found me-" he
said. But before eating me won't
you come in and sit down? Come
in, sit down and cool off"
THAT isn't a bad idea said the
Fox. He and the Bob Cat went in
the seashore tent Uncle Wiggily
wished he had made the two chairs
so slimpsy that they would break
down when the Bad Chaps sat in
them and this might scare them.
But the rabbit had another plan.
Excuse me a moment" said Un-
Gle Wiggily, when the Fox and Bob
Cat were seated.
Don't you dare go away" snarl-
ed the Fox.
I'm not going away" said Uncle
Wiggily, as he stepped outside his
seaweed tent. II just want to look
around" What he was looking for
and what happened I'll tell you to-
morrow when the story will be Un-
Gle Wiggilys smashup. And please

STARTING ANEW

Turbulent Mother Nature has DESTROY
ed the excellent safety record of the
Southern Pacific Company. which had
been the marvel of railroad men through
out the country.
Over period of more than IS years
the company had transported millions of
passengers for millions Of miles. without
a single loss of life.
A desert stream, dry the greater part
of the year, but suddenly swollen by tor
rental rains, brought an end to the rec
ord last night at Tucumcari, New Mexico
The rains weakened the structure of the
bridge crossing the stream, wrecking the
crack Golden State with the loss of at
least five persons, three of whom are be-
lieyed to be passengers
Careful inspection day in and day out
had enabled the company to build up its
remarkable record. 1t took only the frac-
tion of minute to halt it.
The best efforts which men had been
able to make proved unavailing in the
face of natures tragic caprice
Loss of human lives is deplorabe The
destruction of such a safety record would
also be deplorable only, if it meant that
the end of the safety effort had arrived.
SuCN Is not the case Last night ) tragic
happening will be the incentive for even
greater safety measures.
Man learns by his mistakes. While there
is no thought that a mistake which might
have been foreseen caused the wreck, it
is a certainty that the company will learn
from the tragic experience and its per-
Sonnel will start out anew to build even a
greater record than the old one, just the
same as the new bridge across the stream
will be better than the one destroyed.
It is not the end but new beginning.

Revision of the administration bill for
regulation of security issues was under
taken today by the House Interstate
Commerce Committee, with the pur-
pose of clearing away objections de-
veloped in several days OF hearings.
AS this committee met in executive
session, open hearings were continued
on the Senate side.
The Senates Banking Committee
heard arguments against the bill from
r. v. Fletcher, general counsel OF the
Association of Railway Executives. who
contended it was unnecessary to bring
railroads financing under the Federal
Trade Commission control proposed by
the bill, because the roads are now
under supervision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Huston Thompson, former Trade
Commission chairman and one OF the
drafters of the securities bill, told the
committee Fletcher was under mis-
apprehension He said the small regu-
latory charge of one one-hundredth of
one per cent is not levied by the bill on
railroad securities.
Alexander Holtzoff of the Department
of Justice, said, "It seems to us this
bill is not any burden on and does not
constitute any interference with legiti-
mate business"
But illegitimate business ventures
could not survive under it, HoltzoH
added

Hcrtzoff told the committee that re-
moving the liability of directors for
stock issues as asked by some witness,

fraudulent intent, Holtzof maintained,
should be liable. :,
