49,. Germany Protests.
Some weeks ago a group of anti
NaZi demonstrants ripped the official
swastika flag of Germany off the mast
of the liner, Bremen" in the New
York harbor. The German govern
ment Immediately forwarded a note of
protest to Washington, and the
American government, replying, said
that although the United States au-
thorities were not actually respon-
sible for the incident, it was-just
the same-highly regrettable; it was
added that the perpetrators would be
prosecuted and, if found guilty, prop
erly punished.
A few days ago the case against
six men implicated in the matter
came up before Police Magistrate
Louis B. Brodsky, New York. He dis
missed charges against five of the
men but held the sixth for grand
jury action because he had been car
rying concealed weapons.
Strong Language.
In disposing of the case the police
magistrate INDUCED in a bit of po-
litical philosophizing, for he said that
the incident was provoked "by the
Haunting of an emblem which car,
ries with it the same sinister impli-
cations as pirate ship sailing de-
family into the harbor of New York"
Of course, no matter what a police
magistrate-andl lots of other people
may think about the Nazis and the
swastika, the fact remains that the
swastika is the official flag of for
eign nation and therefore entitled to
the respect usually accorded all flags.
From this viewpoint the German
ambassador at Washington immedi-
ately lodged protest with the Amer
lean state department whose position
is delicate one since the state of
New York, a sovereign part of the
Union, is responsible. The state de
partment did the only thing it could
do under the circumstances; it prom
Used an investigation, and also as
sured the ambassador that it would
take the matter up with Governor
Lehman (who is a Jew and also with
Magistrate Brodsky likewise a Jew.
The racial affiliations of the COVER
nor and the police magistrate are of
some Importance here since the or
iginal demonstration was directed
against the official persecution of
Jews now once more going on in
Germany.

Gets Baga Cleaner.


A. Henriksen is experimenting with
a new method of handling rutabagas
which may prove to be very popular
and of much benefit to the industry.
He has installed dry cleaning ma
chine for rutabagas. The bagas are
fed into a series of brushes and cloth
buffers and come out looking as
though they had been washed and
dried. In general appearance the dry
cleaned baga of course looks ever so
much better than the ordinary baga
with more or less fine dirt on it. The
good looking dry cleaned baga nat
urally will be better seller than the
dirty one and it is also hoped that
more people will buy bagas when
they have nice clean appearance.

Janet Karges, Edith Korsch, Valborg
Palm, Zana Klement, Julia Kluk,
James and Alfred Swafford, Luverne
Hancock, Raymond Kolesar and Ethel
Hamper, who came from the Mora
school.
The first day the pupils were
thrilled to see all their classmates
again, after fearing all summer
that they would be separated. Not
only thrill but they felt new re-
spOnsibility upon their shoulders,
which if they went to a larger school
they wouldn't have. The senior sub
jects are English IL, social science,
chemistry and advanced algebra.
Friday was day of days. The up
per classes had their usual class
meetings, which meant quite a deal
of excitement for them. The officers
of the various classes are as follows:
seniors, president, Luverne Hancock,
vice president, Zana Klement, secre-
tary-treasurer, Edith Korsch, class
advisor, Miss Skanse; juniors, presi-
dent, Helen Walker, vice president,
Verda Hancock, secretary-treasurer,

graders enjoy their Minnesota history
and also geography. These subjects
are new to them. The third graders
feel very big as they have six books
in their desks.
There are IL pupils in the fifth
grade and eighteen in the sixth. The
vacation experiences have been the
basis Of some of the language and
art work this week. Gordon Peterson
is new member of the sixth grade
and Lola Peterson and Dickie War
rem are new members of the fifth
grade.
In geography the seventh grade is
drawing maps to show the climate
and rain fall of South America.
For general science, Mr. Palm
brought a microscope. We looked at
fly leg and a new razor blade.
Under the microscope the fly's foot
appeared to have claws an inch long;
and the new razor blade looked like
saw. On Friday the seventh grade
elected class officers. The officers
elected were: president, Agnes Cher

was taken ill last week. Wednesday
they took her to Minneapolis where
a thorough hospital examination re-
vealed that she had a ruptured APP

remained in the city but an immed-
late operation was not advisable, so
they will return home the latter part
of this week; it will likely be several
weeks before the operation will be

full quota of relief persons assigned
to us. We also expect to have a sub
stantial reservoir of projects to draw
on" Mr.. Christgau pointed out that
the public works administration and
approximately so other federal agen-
cies also are operating to absorb the
states relief load and he estimated
that the program will be in full swing
by November 1, adding that it usually
takes about thirty days from the time
of submitting projects to Washington
to get the release of funds. Once this
money is made available the work
will start Immediately, said Mr..
Christgau.
Labor to Get Much Assistance.
Less than six week have elapsed
since the first of the more than $780,
100000 in work projects passed
through the hands of the state ad-
ministrator. OF the aggregate, the
federal government will furnish $44,-
$4,000 with labor to get $36,590, 900
of this amount. Sponsoring commun-
tiles will contribute $6.2O5,232 for ma
terials and supplies needed in estab-
fishing permanent and worthwhile
improvements.
Largest among the weeks approved
projects were two state projects, a
$2,13O,0O0 educational and recrea-
tional program to give employment
to 215O white collar" workers; and
S2,541,381 proposal which would
make possible 10000 to 10000 new
improvements at each of the county
fair grounds in the state. Aimed at
local talent in athletics, drama, mu-
sic and the arts the recreational &C
tivities will have three principle OBJ
jectiveS; first, to provide employment
for especially trained persons as lead
ers; second, to offer a we'll balanced
program of worthwhile leisure time
activities; and third, to develop COM
munity morale. No standard program
is being advanced but a variety of
activities will be offered according
to the needs and special interests of
the community.

connection lay between his own Inn
minent danger and a long-ago tragedy.
The withered tree was the link-again

"And maybe don't deserve to die

hurled his boomerang-"the Brace

He knew he had signed his own
death warrant, but at least he could
bring for one instant into stark day
light the suspected crime whose
shadow lay along the corridors Of Lost
land academy and haunted its decay
ing rooms. The great face above him
grew quite livid for an instant, but no
rebound of denial came from his lips.
When he spoke 1t was in matter-of-
fact and quiet way.
'You are, you know, interferin' with
him. Nobody'll ever know what hap
pened. No one saw you go up the

finished deliberately. He knew he
had taken away forever his chance for
life, but in this last grim hour 1t was
satisfaction to wiring out the truth;
and 1t comforted him to add to the
indictment. "Your master, Haskell,

gether in this Alpine game they were

exactly the opposite Of what he told
them"

PROVIDING FOR
THOSE OVER 65
Statistician's Figures Show
Enormity Of Task.

On subject which at the moment
Is engaging the attention of thinkers
and economists everywhere, the fol-
lowing analysis, from the New York
Times, will be of interest:
"Realizing that no old-age pension
legislation can ignore the progress
that science has made in prolonging
human life, the administration re-
quested the Committee on Econom-
ic Security to present figures to show
what the country must face If 1t is
to support those who attain the age
Of sixty-five and who are unable to
support themselves In gainful occu-
pations.
"Since 1900 the number Of the su-
perannuated (by which term those
who are sixty-five and over are
meant) has been steadily increasing.
Then it was 100000, or little more
than 4 per cent of the population;
now It is 100000, or 5.4 per cent;
by 1870 it will be 100000, or 10
per cent.
"The obvious remedy is to save for
the proverbial rainy day. But how?
The committee makes the point that
man of sixty-five may expect to
live until he Is seventy-six or seven
ty-seven. He should have saved
about $500 to enjoy an income of
nnIU cox V1fh to
years. But ten and a half million
families, the best earners in the
United States, save in their whole
lives a total of only $71 out of
earnings that lie somewhere between
$1,000 and $1,000 a year. If $500 is
the capital that a man of sixty-f1ve
needs to maintain himself on $25
month-how 1t can be done on that
allowance the committee does not
reveal-we must find over two bill
lions year to support him and his
kind. And this Is only beginning.

Recently a railroad, which was
sued for 100000 by a negro who
falsely claimed that his legs had
been paralyzed in an accident. sent
two negro detectives to his town to
expose him. They set up a crystal
gazing parlors and, after several
weeks, subtly arranged to tell the

1t may be that this presentation Of
the case is too black. The evidence
is strong that population tends to
become stationary. At some future
date, which may be ,nly a half Gen.
tury hence, births and deaths will bal.

employment is but passing phenom-
enon, it follows that there will be
more and more old workers and that
