Odds and Ends

HERE, I think, is the best
Hitler story of the year.
Bill Seeman told it to me
the other night; and it GER
tainly merits publication
here. So:
Seems that, at a tremendous
Nazi gathering on the outskirts
of Berlin, Hitler arose to make
a speech. Just as he was about
to open his kisser, a wild-eyed
bird raised a gun to assassinate
the leader. He fired-but a
small lad, no more than 10
years Of age, pushed the
would-be assassin'S arm up
ward.
Accordingly, the bullet went
into the air and harmed no one.
The wild-eyed bird was seized
Immediately and hustled away.
And Hitler stepped down to the
boy.
Young man." he said, plac.
ing an arm around the kids
shoulders, you have saved the
life Of Adolf Hitler. Germany
will honor you as no youth Of
your years has ever been hon.
ored before. ,
II thank you, Germany thanks
you, the world thanks you. But,
more than that, you must have
a reward. Anything you wish,
you may have. Speak up. Tell
me what you want, and I prom
Use you will have it. What do
you wish for?"
The boy seemed bewildered.
II dun't understand" he said.
"Vot are you tukkink abott?"
Hitler drew back. He rubbed
his chin.
"Your accent sounds peculiar.
whats your name?"
Mine NAME" replied the lad,
"is Isadore Cohen"
The leader gulped. Then he
shrugged his shoulders.
TOO bad you are jewish" he
grunted, "but that doesn't de-
tract from your brave deed.
You still have my promise. For
saving the life Of Adolf Hitler,
you may have whatever you
wish. Speak up. What do you
want me to do for you?"
The lad raised a pair Of
frightened eyes.
"Just vun ting" he replied
nervously. Don't tell my
fadder!"
More Hitler
While we're on the subject Of
Hitler gags, you might be in
tereSted in Jack Pearls story Of
an imaginary meeting between
the Nazi nut and Charlie Chap
lin.
"Mr. Chaplin, said Hitler
enthusiastically, you're a great
man. You're almost as great
in your line as / am in mine"
Thank you," replied Chaplin.
Eyes, sir" the leader went on,
I'VE are both great men. And,
strangely enough, we look some
thing alike. My muStache, you
know, and all that"
Chaplin nodded.
"Quite right" he agreed. But
there Is one point in that d.
rection on which everybody
will agree. You get more
1aughs!"

very essence Of the new deal"
Standing before publishers and
others gathered ct the annual lunch
con Of the Associated Press, Hull toss
ed aside talk Of Dictatorship. The
Roosevelt rehabilitation program, he
said, would preserve AL the funda-
u,entals Of popular government"
1T Is never wise," said Hull, "espec-
tally In time Of crisis to hearken too
much to the extreme reactionary or
the extreme radical xxx.
We euthroned no dictators. We
made no secret trades with private,
self-interest groupsEwe merely drew
together the different and scattered
groups OF democracy into common
effort, openly conceived. openly dis
cussed, openly chosen"
The tall, soft-spoken secretary Of
state expressed confidence that what
he called Roosevelt's middle course be-
tween extremes would result in ''re-
covery, restoration and rehabilitation
which would embrace the rights and
liberties Of the individual and the pro-
gressive Improvement Of the social

Hull declared the service given by q
free press was Of "incalculable value"
The most serious threats against

Weaving in and out OF traffic Is .
dangerous practice, not only to the
driver doing 1t but also to other drtv-
ers on the highway.
There Is little to be gained by 1t.
and everything to be lost. The
amount Of time saved in 20 miles Of
driving In this unsafe manner Is al
most negligible and certainly Il not
worth the risk.
For every yard Of headway made
by the weaving" driver, scores Of
other drivers are thrown into ccnfu-
sion and the orderly progress OF

1T Is my profound conviction, Hull
declared, that the administration Of

ably and periodically graphing with
the terrific problems of recovery, and
that its fairness and its friendly In
terest can be absolutely depended up

mining, and by labor"
