TINE 1884 drought holds the record for covering
Il more territory than any drought in the his
tory OF meteOrology according to j. B. Kincer CHIEF
of the climate and crop weather division OF the
United States weather bureau
The drought has been greatest in the central
valleys the Great Lakes region the northwestern
and the western states. But its effects covered
more territory than that Local rains during June
brought relief TO various but general conditions
are still pretty bad.
Deficiencies in moisture. ranging from unprece-
dented dryneSs over large areas TO a decided need
for rain others prevalent by the first of June
over approximately thTee-fOurthS of the United
States from New York. western Pennsylvania. West
Virginia and central Tennessee westward to the
Sierras of California and the Cascade Mountains of
Washington and Oregon" Mr.. KinCer saws.
The effect Of the drought has been aggravated in
many regions by the fact that it climax
to a number OF years Of deficient rainfall
THE present drought began in the northwestern
Il area. Mr.. Kincer SAYS. and then spread west
ward southwark. and eastward to the Appalachian
mountains on the east: Tennessee. northern Arkan-
sss and Texas on the south. and the Great Basin
the west. It was unusual in that it began so early
this year.
May was extremely dry he SAYS the Ohio
valley and lake region having less than onefourth

the month II was the drieSt Nav of record in Ohio
Indiana. Illinois. Iowa and South Dakota and the
second 6rieS1 OF record in Kentucky Minnesota Ne

in Indiana. Illinois Missouri low. Wisconsin Min
neSots. both DakotaS. and Nebraska and the second

THERE is no reason however. in Mr.. Kincers
Il opinion. 10 believe that the present drought
constitutes a change to deSert-like conditions IN
the northwest
1t true that during the millions of years which
constitute geological time. there have been major
changes II climate in large Of this continent
But no permanent major change has taken place
within recent time
Our longest rainfall records indicate that the
1884 drought IN the northwest is but what may nat
urally be expected TO occur at comparatively long
intervals 70 thirty forty years" Mr. Kincer says
The present situation. however has been lntenSi-
fed BY severe dust storms in the northwest. These

newspaper that, "far from sitting
on top of the world, Hitler is pre-
cariously perched upon a powder
keg and that powder key is Ger
many's 65,000,000 people,"
1 reported that despite the then
relatively calm surface there was
going on ceaSeless intrigue between
individual Nazi leaders, between
Nazi factions and between groups
of Nazis and other powerful and
patriotic groups which are not Nazis,
but which, for the moment, were be-
ing forced to toe the line.
This intrigue still is going on. The
shootings and suicides of Saturday,
at best, will only tend to drive it
back under cover. The reason is
that untold numbers of German
citizens are bitterly hostile to Hit
Ter and his whole scheme of things
and are only biding their time TO
free themselves from it.
On top of all this, Germans are
beginning to realize, in spite of one
of the worlds tightest censorShips,
that financial and economic collapse
threatens them at home and hostile
enlightenment abroad, and that all
this, in large measure, is due to
Hitlerism.
Big business, which at first backed
Hitler, is turning against him. His
policies have forced them to take
on specified numbers of unemployed
which they say they could not af-
ford, on the one hand, and lost
them their foreign markets, due to
boycott, on the other
There is growing dissatisfaction
among white collar workers, farm
ers, and petty bourgeoisie. The
spread between what the farmer
gets for his products and what the
city consumer must pay for them is
greater than ever.
Real wages are falling. Prices are
rising. Greater unemployment,
dwindling exports and initiation are
in prospect.
The miracle worker who was 60
ing to scrap the treaty of Versailles,
restore the colonies, give Germany
her place in the sun, remake the
race, and bring back good times,
more and more Germans are begin
ming to feel, has failed to perform.
The new day he promised has turned
out to be false dawn, and unless
he soon makes good, not even the
reichswehr can prop him in power.
Should Hitler fall, military die
tatorship backed by the standing
army is regarded as the ikeliest bet,
with a monarchy taking over later
on.

TINE light case of infante paralysis which has
l. attacked Ida Lupino, beautiful film actress is
one of what appears to be en- epidemic Of this vicious
disease in California.
There have been previous epidemics in that state
in 1925, 1927, and 1880 The epidemic of 1880 was
the most extensive California experienced. In
that year, 903 reported, with 157 deaths.
At present the disease is spreading rapidly and
there is hope of decrease before the coming Of
the first cold weather 1t is typical of infantile
paralysis that it is summer and fall disease.
In California the cold weather is not likely to
appear until late November. For that doc
tors are advising parents not to take children into
California at the present time, because children
much more likely to catch this disease than are older
persons.
TNFANTILE paralysis, like scarlet fever and dph-
Il iberia, is spread frequently by healthy persons
who are carriers Of the disease, rather than by di-
rect contact with the sick person.
few years ago it suggested generally that
MANTLE paralysis might be prevented by inoculat-
ing children with the blood of those who have re-
covered from the disease.
Later it was shown that even the blood of healthy
grown-up persons has in it certain powers Of pre-
venton against this disease, perhaps because Of
slight attacks of the disease and the carrying Of
antisubstances of the disease in their blood.
INDEED, there is still some doubt as to the value
Il of the injections of the blood of those who
have recovered in treating child who has been
diagnosed definitely as having infantile paralysis
Every child who develops a. illness with sore
throat, fever headache pains in the stomach or
drowsiness should be regarded possible victim of
infectious disease and should be kept in bed until
the diagnosis is made definitely.
Absolute rest with as little disturbance possible
is Of the greatest value, both before the diagnosis
and after. That kno of rest should a long pc
Rod Of time, because there sometimes periods Of
quiet between periods Of severe illness in the various
stages of this disease.
Not all children who are infected with this con-
dition are paralyzed. Those who are not parayzed
sometimes are capable Of spreading the disease.

The marines landed, grabbed
the bear by the tail and have been

the man who was acting secretary

period was Franklin D. Roosevelt,

TN 1920 came bitter charges
Il against the administration of
Colonel John H. Russell, COM
handing several thousand ma
rines in Haiti, to the effect that
$500 Haitians had been indis-
criminately killed by marines.
A rising tide of criticism of the
venture came from liberals, who
maintained that the occupation
was only continued to help bank
ers who had lent money to Haiti
collect their interest and princi-
pal, and that all efforts toward
real home rule were being ham,
strung by the American military.
Gradually this osition
mounted. In the latter days of
the Hoover administration, siren

the United States out of Haiti.
A proposed treaty was rejected
by the Haitian senate, which had
been re-established after a lapse
of fourteen years. But with dis
placement in 1880 of the tyran-
nical President Borno by the in
cumbent, Stenio Vincent, 100000
Haitians went to the polls in or

Promises Inflated

ITO my mind this just doesn't make sense. Ed
IL mund Burke said in famous Grafton
that YOU could not indict entire people. II seems
TO me even more mOnStrOUs to try TO bring such an
Indictment on two counts which are exclusive.
AS a matter of fact. Hitler accused his foes of
holding 10 a phOsOy which ne himself pursued.
Never has there been a leader who many
warning things 10 so many people. The promise is
a coin not unknown in American politics, but Adolf
Hitler inflated this particular kind of currency to
a point never before reached in any nation.
To the big ndustriastS he promised protection
from the demands OF union labor and a chance to
increase profits. To the workers he gave jobs in
every Grafton and the bright hope of better condi-
tiOnS Among the stern mOrasts Hitler an
uncOmprOmising puritan. In his official attitude
toward hContiOus followers he proved TO be the not
very critical chief.
Again and again have heard it said. We'll at
least YOU must grant that the man is sincere"
But I want to know Just what he is sincere about.
AS I see it h Is sincere about one thing and one
alone. 7 think he wavers from the notion
that it would be excellent thing for Adolf Hitler
TO have Adolf Hitler remain in power.

Hitler may Surmount the present
f1are-up. For the moment he holds
the whip hand. The arms of the
country apparently are momentarily
at his command. But no one takes
seriously the statement of Minister
of Aviation Won Goering that
"the second Nazi revolution is
over, with Hitler more firmly in the
saddle than ever"
Foreign observers are convinced
the revolution has only begun. AL
ready Hitler has been obliged to
call on the reichswehr, or regular
army, and the police for support
against his own Brown Shirts.
This, it is observed, Mussolini
might do and get away with it, be-
cause Mussolini is one of the worlds
great statesmen. But Hitler is not,
and the German reichswehr, at
heart unsympathetic, is not expected
to carry him much longer than he
is shown TO be dead tim GER.

most ludcrous conceptions offered to civilized
people. In effect Hitler said to the Germans. Your
enemies the jewish capitalists who control the
big department stores and other industries. And
they are allied with Jewish leaders who largely
troll the Communist party of Germany and other
radical groups In other words Hitler reused up his
people against the Jews on the ground that they
