against roaring current, leaps dam
and waterfall, until, battered,
weak and emaciated, it reaches
headwaters, where it lays its eggs
and dies.
To man, the word "Must" is
not spoken. He may or he may
not, as he chooses. He is not con-
trolled by some inevitable. auto
matically working law which in
stinctively determines his con-
duct. There is no invincible order
from which he can not sWerve.
Man is permitted to think and to
choose for himself. He is not in
the grasp of an unseen force that
compels him to move in certain
we'll defined channels. He may
mate for life or not as he chooses.
He may live as a god or he may
live as a hog. The only thing that
man is obliged to do, whether he
would or not, is to do his work
here in physical body.
Man is given the privilege of
shaping his own course here. With
privilege, there is always respon-
sibility; the greater the privilege,
the greater the responsibility. Re-
sponsibility indicates reward. The
reward for the job well done is
good; the reward for the job i'll
done is bad.
Man by determining his own
course, determines also his even
tual reward; in that, too, he is a
free agent.

DIcTAToRS AVOID WAR TO SAVE
THEIR NECKS
tBv BRUCE CATION


Twenty wears ago the world went 20
war because an obscure band of terrorists
in a central European province assassinat-
ed the heir-apparent to the throne OF a
great nation.
This summer the chancellor Of that ma
tion-a nation far less great and powerful
than it was 20 years ago-was similarly
slain by terrorists. But although armies
modified on the borders, and statesmen
made dire predictions of trouble, there
was no war.
In each case the provocative incident
occurred in an unstable Europe which
needed only slight shock to send it slid
ing into the abyss of war. l """
In 1914 the shock did the trick. In 1884
it did not. Why?
1t would be nice if we could say that the
rulers of mankind have learned something,
in the last two decades. 1t would be COM
forting to think that they have come to
realize the fearful price that humanity
pays for wars, so that they hesitate to lead
their peoples into armed conflict. - y
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be
much justification for statements of that
kind. We shan't be able to talk that way
until Europe starts reducing its armies and
navies and following more peaceful poll
cies generally. -..,......s or us I'd
1t is more likely that the answer is to
be found in a queer little trick which fate
seems to be playing on dictators.' IS II
A thoughtful analysis of the situation is
apt to lead one to conclude that Europe s
leaders kept the peace this summer be-
cause they didn't care do anything else.
These relationships that dot the map of
Europe-these brass-knuckled Tammany
outfits which keep the Mussolinis and the
Hitlers and the Pilsudskis and the rest of
them in power-are not geared to stand
the strain of long war. fr
'Suppressing democratic government and
ruling by sheer force is all right, as long
as yen have all the force and all the
weapons on your side. But when you go
to war you have to call out all the people
you have been suppressing, and put guns
in their hands.
And if war doesn't end speedily, they
are likely to take little thought and use
the guns against you. -.ry
That, probably, is the chief reason why
Europe avoided war this summer. The
stage was all set for it. Everything point.
ed toward it.
But IN the last analysis the dictators
didn't dare indulge in it. The chances were
too great that, when the smoke cleared
away, lot of dictators would be looking
for new jobs. o.. .~,>.,,.

so without falling into the hands of the loan
sharks who would soak him for interest running
from 80 to 100 per cent or more.
These unions-sometimes called "baby banks
are designed for those whose credit needs are
too small to interest the regular banks.
Congress, thanks to Senator Morris Sheppard
Of Texas, passed bill for a national system Of
cooperative credit, providing for federal char
tiers, regulations, and bylaws for credit unions.
1t gave the job of fostering and encouraging these
unions to the Farm Credit Administration whicn

The cranberry, I am told, IS
both a food and a very palat-
able medicine. It is said to be
rich in mineral elements, and
helps to create an alkaline re-
action when one suffers from
too much acid in the system.
It is also richer in fruit acids
than most fruits, including
citric, malic, quinic, and
small amount of benzoic. This
combination accounts largely
for the unique and tart flavor
of the berries.
The cranberries' protein con-
tent includes calcium, mag
nesium, potassium, phosphorus
and others. This fruit also
contains some iodine, which is
so valuable to our health.
It also provides both iron
and lime, two minerals much
needed in our diets, and often
hard to obtain in the colder
seasons.
And, finally, cranberries con-
tain two of the most important
vitamins, namely c and A, Of
which 80 per cent are retained

rely upon their huntsmen. The
American hounds, as rule, are
worked in rough country, where
the scenting conditions are not
so good. They are forced to
strike out boldly and cover
more ground.
They drive faster and rely
upon their keenness of nose in
many places where the English
hound is taught to rely upon
the huntSman and his whips. AS
a result the American hounds
have developed more endurance,
keener noses and wider emo
tional range that is expressed
in more melodious voices.

For some women blackheads
are the root of all ugliness!
They mar the texture and tone
of the skin, making it look dull
and unclean. And the pesky
blemishes persist, absolutely re-
fusing to bulge without special
assistance. These tiny Specks
of black on either side of the
nose and mouth, on the chin,
cheeks and forehead, ruin the
beauty of any woman, no mat
ter how perfectly groomed she
might be, or how delicate and
fine her facial features.
A skin dotted with blackheads
is an unclean skin. However, it
is true that blackheads' form
easily in dry skin if the sur
face is not kept scrupulously
cleansed of all impurities. But,
once they form, it is almost i'm
possible to get rid of them by
ordinary cleansing methods, and
they do give a false impression.

Oily skins, also are often made

of blackheadS- especially those
skins that have developed large
pores. In Sucn cases it is not

Advice to the LoveIorn

NEW FAR REACHING
RESTRICTIONS AGAINST
GERMAN JEWS NEAR
Copyright, 1884, by U. P.


BERLIN, Sept. 1.-(UP).-
New far-reaching restrictions
against Jews in Germany have
been prepared by Rudolf Hess,
second in command in the Nazi
party, for PRONUNCIATION shortly,
it was learned authoritatively to-
day.
Jews would be prohibited from
having any relationship whatso-
ever with members of the Nazi
party. The members would be
banned from being served by
Jewish attorneys in court, OF
from any other association with
Jews who remain in the Reich.
The major points in the re-
strictions, it was learned, include
First, No Nazi party member
shall be represented in court by
Jewish attorney.
Second. No Jew may receive a
letter of introduction or a recon-
mendation from a party member
to government officials or party
functionaries.
Third, No money may be &C
cepted from Jews by party col
lections.
Fourth, No Nazi shield or SYM
Dol may be displayed by any
Jewish store.
Fifth, No party member may
be seen in public places with
Jews and must also avoid even
private relationships of any kind
with Jews.
