ITAKOMA SEEKS
RECREATION
CENTER

The executive committee Of
Takoma Park American Legion
Post has adopted q resolution
which it will present to Mayor
Frederick L. Lewton and members
Of the Takoma Park town council
at their next meeting asking pur-
chase Of q tract within the town
limits on which to erect recrea-
tional center, according to an an
nouncement made today by Carl
A. Hoglund, commander Of the
post.
A movement of this kind has
been advocated by several of the
civic organizations in the town for
some time, but the legion post is
the first to take any steps toward
getting the mayor and council to
sanction the move.
Mr.. Hoglund said the post would
endeavor to get all the civic and
educational organizations in the
town to join in this move. The
post wishes to get the mayor and
council to purchase a tract large
enough for a swimming pool,
tennis courts and a public library
building.
Although the town residents
have access to a public library
branch and the new recreational
center in the District Of Columbia,
many of the town residents feel
that the town is large enough to
support facilities of its own, and
not to depend on Washington.
Members of the post feel that
all organizations in town will join
in this action, Mr.. Hoglund said.

personal representative of PreSi-
dent Paul Won Hindenburg, Baron
Franz von Papen.
A situation incomprehensible
to Americans exists in Germany
today as a result Of the shootingS
and executions.
Many of the most prominent
men in the life Of the nation
have disappeared, and it is inn
possible to determine from news
papers, from the government or
even from their friends and
families what was their fate.
Only today did there come to
Berlin word of the fate of the
former Premier of Bavaria, DR..
Gustave Won Kahr, who Squelched
Hitler's "beer hall putsch" in
1923. It is now reported that
his body was found, riddled with
bullets, in a swamp near Dachau,
near Munich.
With it were the bodies Of Lieu.
tenant Schreinger, who was jailed
for propagandiZing in the ReichS-
wehr Irregular army, of which
he was an officer in 1880, and
Herr Sentner, close friend Of
Capt. Ernst Roehrn.
Believed To Be Dead"
The death of Won Kahr was
denied by the government press
office in Berlin previously. This
time it was reported there was no
denial on the part Of NaZi officials
in Munich.
The men were executed by a
firing squad in the Stadelheim,
the huge fortress Of the city.
Others who directed the supres.
sion Of Hitler's abortive attempt to
overthrow the government II years
ago are believed to be dead.
They include Lieutenant Ger.
eral Won LeSSow, who commanded
the Munich garrison at that time;
Johan Won Scissor, commander Of
the Munich police, and Karl Stuet-
Eel, former Minister Of the Interior
for Bavaria.
How these men, old enemies of
the Brown Shirts, were involved
in q threatened rebellion headed
by Brown Shirt leaders, was not
explained.
Also only today came some word
as to the fate of Manfred Won Xii.
linger. premier of Saxony, who has
been missing.
Beyond Belief Here
The government press bureau
in a statement threatening a dire
fate for those who circulated "un.
warranted rumorS'' denied the ex-
ecution Of Premier Killinger.
It said that he had been ar.
rested as a suspect, sent to a con-
centration camp but now had
been released.
How incredible this situation is
to Americans can be realized only
by drawing parallels. Suppose in
one weekend q President Of the
United States ordered the Sei9ure
Of an ex-PreSident who was there.
upon killed resisting arrest" and,
in addition, the fate of a former
governor Of Illinois was revealed
only by the discovery Of his bullet.
ridden body in swamp, and the
fate Of the present governor of a
large eastern State should remain
a mystery until the Government
finally announced that it had ar.
rested and released him.
Add to that mysterious disap-
pearances and rumored executions
of so or more persons in who's
Who in America" and what a
story it would be! The situation
becomes the more incredible the
further the parallel is drawn.

If we can believe all we are told, we seem
to have a new infant prodigy in our midst
the 7-year-old New York lad who has
been found by psychologists to be a boy in
a million because Of his exceptional brain
development.
This child has an intelligence q~uotient of
196-a bare nine points below the mark set
by the great Einstein himself. He can dis
cuss astronomy intelligently, his father
hesitates to talk politics with him because
the ~youngster usually gets so far ahead of
him. and he uses four-bit words in the
most casual conversation.
Nature apparently has performed an
other of her freakish stunts here; and while
it is fascinating to speculate on the things
that such a precocious child might accom-
plish, If he could be shown how to make
the best Of his powers, ones chief emotion
on reading the story is a feeling of pity for
the voungster.
For no matter what the possession of such
an ahnormallv developed brain may augur
for the future. the one immediate proba-
bilitv is that this prodigy. like most of his
kind. will nave a fairly thin kind of child
hood.
One Of the incest things about being a
child Is the fact that you don't know very
much and can't understand very much.
You move in an incomprehensible world.
in which the ~strangest things happen for
no reason that you can discover; but it is
a world of wonder, even if it occasionally is
a bit terrifying. and since you have no
particular mental responsibility you can
devote yourself to the joy of simply being
alive in a way that is never afterward quite
possible.
Childhood, in other words is an enchant-
ed sort Of time. There are a great many
things to understand; and the contempla-
ton of them brings the dreaming Of dreams
and the seeing Of visions, so that the world
takes on a light that it will never hold
again.
Now a youngster who has almost an
Einsteinian intellect at the age of z is 60
ing to miss all of that. Ahead of his time,
he is going to be pumped up against the
perplexities and riddles of adult life, which
range all the way from worry over the po-
litical situation to a solemn contemplation
of those profound mysteries which can new
er be solved this side of the grave.
When life does that to a child, it cheats
him. This lad may go on to do great things
when he is grown; meanwhile, he is apt
to be robbed of his normal childhood.

POOR HOUSES MAY co

You can get a notion Of what a federal
old-age pension law might accomplish by
looking at the program drawn up by Ohio
authorities, who are administering a new
state old-age pension law.
Just now they are classifying all occu-
pants Of poorhouses. to see how many Of
them are eligible for such pensions. Be-
fore long, thousands of these pitifll old
auper will be out of the p~oorhouses, liv-
ing self-respecting lives in their own COM
munities. Eventually, the authorities be-
lieve, the poorhouses can be largely
abolished.
Such q program has two great advan-
tages. II is infinitely kinder to the aged
themselves-and 1t Is cheaper for the COM
munity as a whole. To embody the old-age
pension plan in federal law would be to
take a vast step forward.

tuberculosis is spread by the germs Of the disease.
This germ is transmitted through the material cough
ed UP and expectorated 50 that 1t may get into the
throe. and lungs OF others, particularly young children.
OF course, children also have the chance OF being
infected from milk Of cows that are tuberculous. In
the majority Of human cases OF tuberculosis, however.
the infection has come from some other human be-
ing. It has been estimated that 90 per cent Of the
cases develop in this way.
tuberculosis has been called a house disease because
It is spread by the dust In homes when proper mea-
sures are not taken to control the dissemination Of
infected dust.
It has been pointed out that the child lives nearer
to the ground and the dust than does the older per-
son. 1t creeps on the floor and is likely TO put into
It's mouth anything that 1t happens to find.
From go to 30 per cent Of children infected during
the first year OF life die from tuberculosis. while
only 20 to 80 per cent die when infected In the second
year.
Anywhere from 30 to 90 per cent Of all children
who have reached IS years Of age have taken the
germs Of tuberculosis into their bodies. Many Of
these recover. many simply hold the infection in
check.
II. however, the resistance OF the child is broken
down from any cause, such as fatigue. lack Of sleep.
poor food. or frequent colds. new germs. as well as
old. attack them and they may come down with a
severe form Of tuberculosis disease.
81
The best way. therefore to prevent tuberculosis.
Is to keep the germ from entering the body and at
the same time to keep the resistance Of the body by
proper hygiene at the highest possible point. so that
even II the germs do enter the body, they cannot gain
adequate hold.
Because OF the susceptibility OF the child. 1t Is even
more important to apply such methods to the care
Of the child than to the adult.
No doubt a large part Of the income from sale
Of Christmas seals will be devoted this year, as in the
past, to examinations Of larger numbers OF children.
with a view to detecting tuberculosis at the earliest
possible moment and of applying proper methods so
that cure may be brought about.
In the child the diagnosis Of tuberculosis Is made
primarily by use Of the tuberculin test and by taking
x-ray pictures OF the lungs. At the same time. Of
course. the doctor studies the lungs by all the meth
DDS Of physical diagnosis and. in certain instances
may make examinations Of the sputum as well.
