 Four professors of the German Institute of Breslau University have issued a signed statement, confirming an earlier pronounce ment by leading Dutch savants, that the Oera Linda Book is a fake.
 The statement says in part: Now that all classes, we are hap py to observe, are manifesting enthusiastic interest in the ancient Germanic ideals, we must take care that these national ideals shall not be blemished or made ridiculous abroad by such forg- cries"

again. She was telling the tree
spirit that somehow she would

be found to pay the installment
on the radio.
"Aunty, will you let me help
you?" asked my friend, STEP

Child, did you come down
out of that tree?" asked the
old woman.
There were four orphaned
grandchildren living in an un-
heated flat with the woman.
They were playing the radio
late that night, and the picka-
ninnies were dancing, because
the radio was to be taken away
in the morning. They had some
oatmeal, but no other food. It
was a big, shiny radio. 1t is
still there, and there's heat
and food in the flat. One of
the pickaninnieS is going to

My friend, who thus senses

fenSe Act in recent years so
that they have seriously under
mined its purpose and useful
ness, according to the War De-
partment.
Its original provisions, drafted
soon after the war by a special
commission, which made a
thorough study of the unpre-
paredness of the United States
prior to the conflict, have been
altered so as to make the re-
naming features of the act a
skeleton of its first form.
Shouting econo my 1Ohile

cations OF pGcitiStic nature,
certain members OF Congress
sought to eliminate the Citi-
senS Military Training Camps,
Organized ReServe Corps, Re-
SerDe Officers Ira; ing Corps
and curtau the National Guard.
While not entirely successful,
these members of Congress
vitaIly injured the original pur-
pose of the act.
Today the United States
Army consists of 125,OOO en-
listed men. 1900 officers and
about 5000 Philippine Scouts.
While the United States War
Department tDould neUer con-
slider any attempt to build up
a standing Army comparable
to foreign nations, it is in
tereSted in the report that the
German Reich 1DilI haze a
military force of 5,5OO,OOO men
available for action in 1885.
In view of the fact that
President Roosevelt favOrs ade-
quate national defense, the
War Department hopes that in
the face of reports from abroad,
members of Congress will real
ize the necessity of restoring
to the National Defense Act its
original provisions.
The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, which was
practically dormant for months
and then spurted into action
shortly before elections, is re-
ported as resting quietly again.
Extra efforts to flood the
country with checks for farmers

who had hitherto thought of
collegianS in botanical terms
and who would as soon have
taken an interest in tatting as
in the activities of the old-time
Big Three, were seen rushing
for the Saturday evening pa
pers with clammy brows to
see how the Southern Method
lists or Colgate came out.
Eavesdroppers on little groups
of gamblers bending over ta-

tears of shame in his eyes.
If this sort of thing goes on
next season, with college foot

whole tone of gambling may be
changed. We may, on the eve
of the big games, run into an

Where's that? IN YOU r.

What's the reason you can't

Listen, World!
BIZ Elsie Robinson

No-for the 100-mile mind
often has to buck as bad traf.
fic, make as difficult shifts, as
the 10-mile mind.
The difficulty's in the model
in the mind itself.
Take yourself, for instance.
No-let's take me. I'll be Hor-
rible Example No. l this time.
I, too, want action. And I've
got the makings. But-there's
a bind in MY machinery.
Trouble with me is, I'm al
ways rarin' to go-and hate to
stop, look and listen. So-I'm
always leaping along, burning
up the road beneath me. AND
THEN HAVING TO GO BACK
AND PICK UP THE WRECK
AGE.
If I'd take things a little
slower at first if I'd get rid
of that tendency to recklessness
my VI t i m t e performance
would be WOW. But I have to
waste half my energy doing
things over.
Now it's YOUR turn. What's
your bind? Cowardice, maybe.
Hate to take chanceS-hate to
make changes. Only, of course,
you don't call it by such crude
name as Sowardice.
CAUTION-that's your name
for it. Nice name. Makes you
feel proud of being that way.
Gives you a chance to sneer at
reckless guys like me. So you
go on being "cautiouS"-and
wondering why you never get
ahead.
Or maybe it's conceit. You
don't like that either. You say
you're sensitive" Another
swell title-and alibi.
People can openly deSpise a
conceited person but they feel
they should be nice to a sensi-
tive person-coddle and protect
them-refrain from criticizing
them.
So, by being sensitive, you
escape a lot of rough stuff.
IF YOU WANT TO GET
AHEAD, GO STREAMLINE!
