Medieval Stronghold.

Halfway between Bingen and
Bonn the gorge is broken by the en-
trance of the Moselle from the west
and the Lain from the east. Coblenz
is built on a triangle of land be-
tween the Moselle and the Rhine.
The Romans called it Confluentes.
During the occupation of the Rhine
land by the allies after the World
war it was headquarters for the
American division. On a rocky
precipice across the Rhine is the
old fortress of EhreEDreitstein, an
important stronghold since medic
val days.
Bonn is famous as Beethoven's
birthplace, and as the seat of an
ancient university. Beyond Bonn the
Rhine swings north and then west
through a wide plain. Cologne
(Koln), third city of Germany, is
a busy port, trading in grain, wine,
ores, coal, and timber. Above a
sea of city roofs soar the twin
spires of the Cologne cathedral, each
nearly as tall as the Washington
monument.
Industry and commerce crowd
out natural beauty along the low
er Rhine. Dusseldorf is an impor-
tant manufacturing town, noisy
with factories and great steel and
iron works. 1t is particularly noted
for its dyeing industries, and also
as the birthplace of Heinrich Heine.
Duisburg, at the point where the
Ruhr joins the Rhine, is one of
the most extensive river ports in
the world. 1t is a chief center of
the German steel industry, and COM
mercial gateway of the coal and
iron shipping out of the Ruhr. In
cidentally it was once the home of
Mercator, the great map maker.
"Coal smoke and machinery have
failed to destroy the legends Of the
past. Siegfried was supposedly born
at Xanten, near the Netherlands
border, and at Cleves, Lohengrin,
the knight of Wagner's opera, res
cued the beautiful Elsa"

Straw Wine Is So Named
From Its Drying Mats

Paris.-Straw wine is not a syn
thetic drink derived from horse
food, but an authoritative, amber
colored wine which owes its name
to the manner in which the grapes
are cured" Straw wine comes
from the mountainous Jura region,
and has been produced by the same
methods since 1864. The grapes
are so delicate that no one is al
lowed in the vineyard after July,
as the slightest contact withers
them. Harvesting begins long after
other wines have been pressed. The
grape clusters are left on straw
mats to dry. Hence the name.

Ex-F Football Star Wins
Fight With Two Gunmen

Cleveland. His knowledge Of
football, particularly the "quick
KICK" was worth $3.50 to James
Stone, thirty-three, proprietor Of a
drug store.
Stone, former gridirOn star at
Kenyon college, went into scrim-
mage with a two-man holdup team.
"Stick 'em up," said the holdup
men, calling their signals. Stone
dropped back behind the line Of
scrimmage, which happened to be
the soda fountain, and around end
and produced the quick kick, floor
ing one of the gunner.
Slugging and shooting were not
barred in this game. So one of the
robbers struck Stone on the head
with a gun butt and fired one shot,
which missed. The game ended as
the gunmen fed, leaving behind
$3.50 in the cash register.

Noes" just as there are noses and
noses. Betty had one of the love
liest of noses, short and just the
least bit tiptilted. She had also one
of the firmest of Noes"
Her sister Virginia who was lit
tie and confiding and sweet, looked
in grieved surprise at this naughty,
tipnosed Betty. Virginia was hap
PLY married to the grandest man
in the world and she saw no reason
why every girl shouldn't be hap
PLY married, too. And as Betty
had a chance at the second best
man alive, she certainly shouldn't
be standing there and saying mo"
in that heartless way.
For Betty and her Chuck had
quarreled. Not the CHEEKY, fun-to-
makeup sort of quarrel, but the
hard, unyielding one.
And then a ring had changed
handS-not as it had a month ago,
going on a small white finger. But
flung out at firm brown hand that
had clapped it into a pocket. Since
then, Betty hadn't sung about the
house. and Chuck - there just

Placer mining is widespread to-

Even in far-off Alaska the redis-

When Alaska became American

Indian Gods Defed

youngest medicine man in the
Navajo nation, dared the wrath
of the gods of his fathers and

According to Berton /. Staples
director of tour in the interests
of the Navajos, it was the first
time in the history of the tours
that such an act had been per
mitted.
To the Navajos, the mere ac-
tiOn of taking picture robs the
subject of some mysterious sub.

ticularly to religious ceremonies

RHINE PROBLEM
HITLER'S JOB
FOrtificatiOns To Be Renewed
In Germany's Military
Program
IMPORTANT WATERWAY

Washington.-Germany's new mill
itary program, which defies the
Versailles treaty, renews the old
problem of Rhineland Notifications,
and again brings into the news a
fertile valley which has so often
been an economic and political from
tier.
According TO the terms of the
treaty Germany was allowed to re-
tain the left bank of the Rhine pro-
viding it was completely demili-
tarized Military occupations of
this zone (from 1918 to 1930) by
American, French and British
forces insured Germany's fulfill
ment Of her agreement.
1.-The Rhine has always played an
important part in European poll
tics," says the National Geographic
society. "A glance at the map
shows many of the most famous
Rhine towns standing on the left
bank Of the river. This is because
the Rhine was once frontier of
Roman civilization, and it was on
the west side that Roman strong
holds were established. Today,
starting near its source, the river
marks the boundary first between
Switzerland and Liechtenstein, then
Switzerland and Austria, Switzer-
land and Germany, and finally Ger
many and France.
Important Waterway.
FLOWING from south to north, the
Rhine is one Of Europe's chief wa
terways. With its numerous tribu-
taries it drains one of the most
densely populated regions of Eu-
rope, a country rich in minerals and
intensively cultivated. 1t reaches
the North sea coast opposite London,
thus connecting with British ship
ping, and forming a natural out
let for Germany, Belgium, and the
Netherlands.
Canals join the Rhine from the
Rhone, the Marne, and the DAN
ube. It is navigable without inter-
ruption from Basle to the sea, dis
tance of $50 miles. Ocean-going
steamers can ascend as far as Co
logne, where cargoes are trans
ferred to river boats, but only
small craft can navigate the upper
Rhine above Spires.
"Since the Versailles treaty the
Rhine has become an international
waterway open to ships of all ma
tfons.
Although it rises in the Swiss
Alps and enters the North sea
through Netherland territory, to the
Germans the Rhine is their national
river. 1t is firmly woven into their
history, their art, their music, and
their literature. A boat trip down
this stream is a journey through
Germany's past as well as her pres
ent.
4'The Rhine enters the Rift val
ley at Basle, flowing north between
the ranges of the VOsges and the
Black forest. At Mainz. where the
Main enters the Rhine, the slopes
OF the Taunus hills turn the river
westward until it reaches Bingen.
Between Bingen and Bonn it winds
through the narrow Rhine gorge be-
meath high cliffs adorned with an
Gent castlo- or steeply terraced

Statesnen Us. Hgpocrites

Every national or economic crisis
develops both statesmen and hypo-
critics.
II takes much less brains or cour-
age to be a hypocrite than to be a
statesman.
It takes nerve to tell the truth to
people who have been misled or mis-
informed.
The State Of Oregon Is fortunate
in having a governor, General Chas.
H. Martin. who sticks by his oath OF
ofice and says, when was inau-
gurated. / became governor Of the

In dealing with the lumber strike
in Oregon and Washington, Cover
nor Martin sets an example for all
public officials in handling labor
disputes. He says:
'Men have q right to picket and
the right by moral suasion to try to
get other men to stay away, but |
when thugs and seOundrels try to

WHO PAYS THE TAXES?

If the head of every family in the
United. States were compelled to
work for the government three
months out of each year without pay
before he could start earning a liv-
ing for his dependents. he would
probably be willing to compromise
on a less costly government in re-
turn for a bit less of his labor Yet
that is exactly wwhat is happening
in the United States today.
The income of the average family
of AZ persons is s1,1S4. The aver
age tax bill-local, state and federal
is $500 a family, more than a quar-
ter of the annual income. In addi-
tion, each family is saddled with a
debt of $1,S00, which must be paid
through additional taxation as the
government bonds fall due.
II is the prevailing idea among
the majority who are exempt from
the income tax and who own no real
estate that only the wealthy pay
taxes. In reality even the poorest
person pays tribute to the govern
ment with even his smallest pur-
chase.
Bread begins to be taxed when the
farmer pays the county tax collec-
tor. The processing tax then raises
the price of wheat 80 cents a bushel.
or about half a cent on a loaf of
bread. Then the miller and the
baker must pay real estate and in
come taxes and must pay their en-
ployees larger wages because they |
too are taxed. These taxes, amount |
ing to about two cents loaf. are all |
included in the cost of production |
and are paid by the person who buys
the bread.
The same process is gone through
with on other foodstuffs. It is con-
estimated that out of
every dollar spent ibv the housewife
1t the grocer and butcher, nineteen
cents goes to the tax collector.

comfortably filled. and the boss, as
