Herr Coebbels Bragg
One American at Rest II
Mother Was MEAN" i
Another Hapsburg -. !.
In Berlin. Herr Goebbels, minister
OF propaganda, praising Hitler, says,
There win be no kaiser or king" He
might have added that none Is needed,
since In Hitler Germany has a kaiser,
king and dictator, "three-in-one." Herr
Goebbels boasts: "Hitler does not
start the day asking What do lead
Ing bankers say?' Rather, bankers be-
gin the day asking What does Hitler
say?'" L.,
Germany has no monopoly Of that
condition. Herr Goebbels will be sur
prised to hear how many bankers and
other gentlemen in this country, who
once thought they had money, begin
the day asking, what does Roosevelt
say?"' -.
One American at least is out of his
troubles forever. Mr.. Medlock, forty
eight years old, rents cotton land in
Greenville county, South Carolina, and
thought he knew how much cotton he
ought to plant to pay rent for his farm.
After he had finished planting. govern
ment inspectors measured his cotton
fields and ordered him to pillow under
three acres. He had gone beyond his
allowance. Medlock complained to his
family for two or three days, then
went behind the barn and shot himself
through the heart, deciding that he, in.
stead of the excess cotton, should be
"plowed under"
Little Nora Ruth Niciforos may with
confidence recite the prayer: "For.
give us our trespasses, as we forgive
those that trespass against u.s." Be-
she had been disobedient, her
mother. as shown in court. held the
six-year-old child's fingers over u gas
flame, burning them severely" The
child's mother, sentenced to IS days in
Jail, was freed when the little girl told
the Judge: Il love my mommy. l
was a bad, bad girl and picked things
up after she told me not to. She never
was mean to me before" 1t is to be
hoped that the mother will never be
mean" to her again.
Prince Won ~Starhemberg, in a pri.
vate conference. saw Dictator Musso:
lini, and gossips suggest that Mussolini
will encourage Austria to restore a
Hapsburg, the young Otto, to, Austria's
throne.
Otto, young heir of the H~apsburgs,
Is extremely good looking, would deep
" interest any movie director.
But. why people as intelligent as
the Austrians should think of taking
on another Hapsburg after what the
last Hapsburg did to them is hard to
understand. = -
There is little enough left of Austria
now. Do the Austrians want Italy or
Germany to take that little, or divide
it between them?
Never adopt a plan unless you know
all about it.
William Bryant, In the Louisiana
%penitentiary. read about Dillinger's
~"escaping from prison with the aid Of
a toy pistol, made of wood, terrorizing
guards by the dozen, taking away their
weapons"
A newspaper clipping about that
pistol was found on Bryant's body
| after he had been shot dead, trying
the same wooden pistol" escape
method.
Bryant and his fellow convict, Will
liam Chandler. whitfield out two toy
| pistols-two surely would be better
than one. They and eleven other con-
victs that followed them were all
| killed, wounded or caught.
It Is a pleasure to hear from the
United States Chamber Of Commerce
| that there are 'ionly" v millions
out Of work in this country. Mr..
| Green union labor head. says ten mil
| lions, but the chamber says that is
refrigeration"
/, On the other hand. statistics show
that one family in every ten in New
York city is getting home relief"
which is our substitute expression for
the dole. In New York 671. 1866 persons
are on the dole, 1889 more than the
previous highest record. That does
| not indicate diminished unemployment.
Government says it will bar prof.
| teering' on food, following the drouth.
