As A MATTER OF
BAD TASTE

Washington, the state that was re-
sponsible for Marion Zioncheck, must
be situated on the borderline of the
lunatic fringe The latest piece of i'll
breeding displayed in the Pacific North
west is the organization, even though in
a spirit of levity, of the Simpson for
Queen" club.
The unfortunate part of the whole
thing is that, in England. they might
think the whole United States sub
scribes to the antics of the state Of
Washington, or of a portion OF It's popu-
lation. (There must be some ordinary,
sensible human beings there.)
The fact that Mrs. Wally Simpson is
an American, and is rumored to be the
intended bride of King Edward, cannot
escape widespread notice in this coun-
try, but there can be no possible excuse
for display of such atrocious manners
as those revealed in Washington.
Charles Lindbergh found that fame
and publicity persecution" outruns
fame.

NAZI PENALTIES
LA Porte IndJ Herald Agus)

The new Na1 penal code is based on the
Nazi principal that protection of the nation,
rather than protection Of the individual, is the
paramount consideration in jurisprudence. While
the conception of bettering or protecting So
ciety is a worthwhile concept, the inhumanity
of the German scheme is that physical force
rather than moral force is the dynamic of social
control The Nazis depends on the force OF
law from without rather than from the force OF
the inner voice from within the individuals per-
Sonality.
The new code makes it prison offense to
of offspring" In other words to spread birth
control information is against the law. Ihe good
of the state so the Nazis argue depends on
rising birth rate because rising birth rates re-
suit in more soldiers for defense" of the nation
It is the old story of an aggressive nation need
ing cannon fodder" There Is no considera-
ton for the well being of the life born into tne
world or for the family unit into which that
life comes, or whether society Is able 10 ieeo'
clothe and educate that life, the only considera-
ton is whether there is to be anotner Soioler
for the state. 80,
1t is also a prison offense to make insulting
remarks about Hitler. Campaign utterances
such as we became accustomed TO during tne
past three months would have been words lead
ing to conviction in Germany. Hitler epitom-
izes the greatness of the new Germany and TO
attack him verbally or in writing Is 10 attacK
the state-tbus the Nazis argue. This philoso-
ply that to criticize the leader Is 10 weaken
the nation is an indication of the pathetic
feebleness Of freedom OF thought and action IN
Germany today

Maureen's lucky shots stuck with
her. 1 lost the second, third, and
fourth, and she won the fifth, sixth,

the ninth I gave her a scare when
my drive nearly cleared the water
hazard. 1 was using a drugstore
ball by this time, and after 10 min
uteS Of trying to fish it out Maureen
lent me one an we went on.
At the end of the first nine we
added up our cards and Maureen
was even with par with a 35. If my
drive had cleared the alter ON the

the green, and had 1 sunk the
putt, / would have had a So. But
the breaks seemed to be all Maur-

piOns only because they play with

first tee | agreed perfectly with
Alfred Tennyson in that Woman

1 was a bit shaken when Maureen
knocked her drive straight down
the fairway for 215 yards. But
cOmfOrted myself with the thought
that il was just a fluke-that it
had to be, because she didn't do
the things one should do when
driving a ball that faT.
She didn't Waggle her club. She
took no practice swings. And she
didn't have to run to the edge of the
tee to recover her balance after the
swing. All these essentials were
missing.
It was on this first tee, and just
after Maureen had gotten off her
drive, that I lost my three seventy
five cent balls. I knew I couldn't
afford to let her Cutdrive me, even
on one hole, so I asked my caddie
for a driver. Now I hadn't used q
driver for months, having found a
No. 5, or maShie, a safer club off the
tee. Three times 1 swung, and three
balls went out of bounds. My fourth
shot, with the mashie, was salts

for I had always used No. 2 iron
on this hole and had never been as
far as the traps guarding the ap-
proach to the green.
Not to be outdone, asked Tor my
five iron. Something must be wrong
with my five iron, for even though
1 hit it SO hard I had to run 10 steps
instead of my usual five to keep
from falling down, it didn't go half
as far as Maureen'S.
