SURPRISES TRUTH
ABOUT NAN REVOLT

The ruthless Nazi slaughter
that has been taking place
during the past few days is
not merely the result of pOliti-
cal friction between Hitler
and GOering and ROehm and
Won Papen. 1t is the outcome
of manifested rank and file
discomfort with the murderOus
starvation Fascist regime.
True, ROehm and Won Sch,
leicher are dead, and the capi,
talist press all over the world
interprets this as an example
of what happens to those who
tamper with the Hitler State
machinery.
Real News Suppressed
But what they fail to see
is that the present butchery
constitutes an attempt by
NaZi leaders to case the tension
created by deplorable econ
Omic condition, pointing to
Won Papen, ROehm, NOnSchlci
cher and others as scapegOats
on whom the blame should rest,
However, so audible is the

HITLER ON THE RUN
n
GERMAN
COMMUNIST PARTY
THAELMANN

The capitalist press is care
full to give only the surface
RelOdramatics of the crisis
in the Hitler government.
The whole affair is delibera-
tely shrOuded in mystery. The
beloved leader" suddenly
discovers that the most be-
loved of his companions"
leaders of the Storm Troops,
have been plotting to stab
the beloved leader" in the
beloved" back. The leader
arrives at their bedrooms,
unannOunced, hauls them out
of bed, invites them to COM
init suicide and when the in
vitatiOn is refused, lines them
up against the wall.
The second revolution" is
Squashed. The Leader shows
himself to be a man of iron,
of decisive action. He comes
out of wholesale slaughter"
stronger than ever.
According to Ernst Hanf-
staengl, confidential aide to
the Beloved Butcher, tour
ing in this country on a pro-
paganda trip, Hitler has
proven himself never greater
never more human than in
the last forty eight hours.
And that. according to the
capitalist press, is about all.
But one remark in the eX-
plOsive speech of Vice-chan-
cellor Won Papen at Mar
burg University a week ago,
reveals the volcano at the
base of the plotting and
slaughter of the Storm Troop
leaders.
THE Reich government"
is not deceiving itself about
the fact that the Reich treas
ure of confidence which the
German people bestowed up
on it is in danger.
Here is the key to the crisis
in the Hitler government
the tremendous suffering of
the German masses under the
fascist regime and their re-
sentiment at finding that Hit
Ter has not kept single
promise.
The Hitler government in
the period of its Dictator
ship has robbed from the en-
plOyed workers:
900OO0,000 marks by direct
wage robbery.
1,000,000,000 marks by in
creased taxes, compulsory de-
-ducti0ns and contributions.
6000OO,0OO marks by increase
in food prices.
Hitler's fOur-year plan for
the abolition of unemployment
resulted in the first ten
months of the dictatorship in
100000 workers being robb-
ed of unemployment relief
This was done by transferr-
ing hundreds of thousands
to the concentration and fore
ed labor camps.
Hftler's promises TO give
land to the landless peasants
were not kept. Not a single
big landed estate has been
cOnfisc8ted. The crease
of prices of fats and butter
was characterized as an 'ac-
ton for saving the small
peasants. But owing to the
simultaneous increase of all
fodder prices, by the estab-
lishment of the fodder mono
ply, the small peasant is

Boys Support

Last Thursday evening the local
basketball quint fell back into the
traditional Glenwood complex and
played a brand Of ball which the
customers are not accustomed to
see from the present team. The
main contest of the evening the
Sank Centre lads dropped by the
score Of u to 10. The second team
contest, which preceded the reg
ular game, was wrapped up and
brought home with decisive vic
tory with the score of 10 to II. The
seconds seemed to take little heed
Of the Glenwood tradition.
To go into the main game things
looked dark for the locals at the
opening. Keldahl was able to get
the tip off but the passing which
seemed smooth enough, would not
penetrate the Glenwood defense.
Before the game was well under
way, Lund, Glenwood forward,
came streaking down the floor to
score the first field goal Of the
game. Schwartz, Glenwood guard,
and Johnson, forward, took advan-
tage Of the squirt to sink two more
field goals in rapid fire succession.
Sank Centre at this point wisely
took time out to rally their forces.
Upon proceeding with play, James,
Glenwood center, Melted his first
goal, and Johnson came through
with his second. Sank Centre
scored one lone point the first
of the quarter, and the score stood
at the end Of the first stanza, IL
to /.
Scanlon scored field goal In the
opening Of the second quarter to
make things look little brighter
for the locals. Keldahl made a lone
free shot, and Brown Melted two
free shots, and the half ended with
the local boys trailing at the end
Of II to score.
In the third quarter the scoring
subsided somewhat and this 10 the
only quarter that Sank Centre can
call its own. In that period they
outscored the Glenwood qmnt,
getting 4 points to Glenwood's 2.
Bud Carpenter scored field goal.

square the shoulders, improve the
carriage, establish muscular control
and invgorate the entire system.
Girls Physical Education does
not attempt to produce trained ath-
letes, for too much exertion is
sometimes as dangerous as none;
but 1t does aim to produce and re-
tain health for those whose lives
are largely sedentary. I should like
to bring out very briefly the bene-
fit Of physical education for girls
from the standpoint Of health.
First, circulation Is increased thru
out the entire body, especially
through the part exercised. This
circulatory activity increases car
riage Of food to the tissues and re-
moval Of wastes from the body.
Second digestion il improved and
assimilation Is accelerated by ex-
ercises. Finally, the muscles Of the
body are directly developed by
physical activity. This Is of great
Importance for health as regards
the muscles Of the trunk; the abb
dominal muscles must be In good
condition for the maintenance Of
the upright posture which Is nee
essary for the best position and
functioning Of the digestive or
gans and therefore Of great import
ance to health.
OF course, all this holds true for
boys as well as for girls, but az a
general rule, we find that boys are
naturally more active in sports
than girls. Thus we find It neces-
sary to encourage their activity to

Physical Education Is education
by means Of physical activities. It
Is concerned with the big muscle
activities and related factors which
influence the development OF the

vital Importance. Like all forms Of
education, 1t must continually adj
Just itself to the changing condi-
tons Of life. It should never be an
end In itself, but should always
strive to further the accepted aims
Of general education. We look upon
bodily exercises as tools by means
of which definite worthwhile ten
denotes within the child may be de-
veloped.
From this viewpoint physical ed
ucation for girls has certain def
mite aims. The primary purpose
is to improve and maintain health.
Good health Is the greatest gift ma
ture can bestow, thus we owe 1t
to ourselves to conserve our health
by every available means. In pion-
eer days people maintained their
health and strength without a
thought OF special exercise, but now
conditions are changed. The en-
forced confinement the long-con-
tinued sitting, the cramped post

It will take an army of $4,000

for the Farm Census Is divided in
to eight major sections comprised
Of one hundred questions, but, OF

This schedule has been designed
