BROKEN PACT
ON JEW'SLAID
T0RE|CH

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Polish
embassy estimates the number of
Polish Jews expelled from the
Reich last year at approximately
so. The embassy does not claim
to have exact statistics and has
issued no official report on the
subject,
1t estimates the total number Of
Polish Jews who received orders
to leave the Reich at approx
mately 200 during the year. The
embassy protested these expulsion
orders in about $50 cases and gen.
orally obtained notification.
No Agreement Reached
To date, Polish Spokesmen claim,
no general agreement has been
reached as to the status or treat
ment of Polish Jews in Germany.
Most Of the troubles Of Polish citi-
zens of Jewish origin are reported
due to interference by various Nazi
party organizations, notably the
Labor Front.
The Polish embassy also Is un-
derstood to have been successful
in protesting recent attacks on Ger
tain produce firms owned by Jews
who are Polish citizens. In one
case the Labor Front is said to
have directed about 200 employees
of such a firm to quit work.
Embassy Protests
The embassy apparently pro-
tested, and the German govern
ment intervened to protect the
privileges promised to Polish citi'
zens under the existing trade
treaty.
Last spring the embassy also
obtained the annullment Of rulings
passed by local authorities exclud.
ing Polish Jews from market
places and annual affairs. The en-
baSsy has not been called on to in
tervene in any such cases recently,
but Is not in possession Of exact
figures as to the number Of Polish
Jews still allowed to do business
at municipal market and public
fairs.

Ear trouble in all breeds Of dogs
is frequent. It occurs more often,
however, among those breeds Of
dogs with long and Happy ears.
The short or erect ear breeds,
while by no means immune, are
less liable to be affected by this
ailment. Hunting dogs that re.
trieve from the water are very
susceptible to irritationS.
Canker of the ear in its worst
forms is usually a very painful
disease and always irritating. 1t

in time, complete deafness is not

and very painful, while the other
may be completely free from all
irritation.
The usual symptoms are: Car.

ward), scratching the ears with
the hind feet, which often results
in sores and lose of hair on the
outer side Of the ear.
Some irritationS of the ears are
caused by insects, which rubbing
by the paws makes worse. Some
times the ear is unSightly, pus-
tuleS forming inside and outside
the ear. Discharges are usually
present and are sometimes watery
thin and also thick brown.
Edges Of the ear occasionally
develop into an evil smelling sore.
The animal will frequently r lib his
head on the floor in an effort to
obtain relief. Also his digestion
may suffer.
Gentle Care Needed
The ear, as we all know, is an ex.
tremely delicate organ and should
be treated as such. Although
treatment Of canker should Ger
tainly be gentle, it is just as true
that it should be thorough. Most
veterinarians use a high-power
magnifying glass combined with a
small electric bulb which fits into
the ear cavity and greatly helps to
determine the seat of the trouble
and better remove the cause.
Advice on home treatment OF
canker, the term by which most
troubles of the ear are described,
is difficult without first examining

whether the condition be internal,

All that looks like a lot of money

King has to maintain a great staff
of courtiers and servants, and keep
up a palace or two, so he may not
have so much left over.

great-grandmother, turned over to
the British people all of the crown

THIS WEEK in
WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from page One)

Washington is the housing pro-
gram. A dozen or so diverse points
of view held by as many import
ant personages seem to be in al
most hopeless conflict.
The efforts to smooth out the
situation point now toward an ad-
justment which will take the Fed
eral Government entirely out of the
financing of slum-clearance pro-
jects, subsistence homesteads and
other projects for providing low
cost housing for the poor, but will
set up one powerful Government
bureau to stimulate private loans
under Government guarantee for
all of these and other low-cost
housing projects.
The threat of an early European
war is regarded here as more seri-
Gus than previously. The realiza-
ton that in such an event any one
of a hundred things might work to
drag the United States into another
war is growing. The recent neu-
%trality resolution is not regarded by
predetermined students of inter-
national affairs as likely to be ef-
fective for its avowed purpose.

Man
Has Unique Toy

Burlington-With one turn of
his wrist, c. R. Marlette, operator
of a gasoline filling station here,
may set into motion machines,
which, were they standard size,
could operate several score fac
tories.
The miniatures, built to scale
and considered one of the finest
collections of its kind in the coun-
try, are operated from a compress
ed air tank.
Marlette, once operator of a ma
chine shop, made his first model
through the neck of a bottle. 1t
was "fired" and operated perfect
1y.
The collection includes "whirl
wind engines of three to nine CYL
inders, three different types of tur-
bines, including reverse action on
each. A marine engine decorates
one end of the display and single
action engines are built to scale
including power units of from one
to eight cylinders. The compound
marine engine used the steam
twice in it's operations, and there
are feed pumps and other power
units.
"They are here for anyone to see,
and I enjoy running Them" said
Marlette. II am not, however, en-
gagged in running a machine shop
any longer. I simply run these dis
plays when people want to see them
operate"
Connections to the compressed
air tank are so arranged that a
single machine may be thrown in
to motion, or the entire battery
may be operated.
The tiny structures are made Of
brass, aluminium and steel. No
textbooks were consulted in build
ing the models and the only copy
of standard size machine is that
duplicating an engine used in a cot
ton mill which Marlette studied
and then copied.

TODAY AND
TOMORROW
FRANK PARKER STocKBRDGE

UTOPIA go. dream
More than four hundred years
ago Sir Thomas Moore wrote a book
describing a mythical land in which
there was no poverty and no crime,
where everybody lived happily and
peaceably. He was expressing an
ideal which all of the great philoso-
pliers and religious leaders have dis
cussed and prayed for from the be-
ginning of civilization.
Moore's word UTOPIA" has come
to mean an Impractical dream of a
project world. Practical men are
inclined to view with distrust any
plan for the reorganization of So
ciety which does not take the frail-
ties and p~erversities of human ma
ture into consideration and, So far,
every effort to bring about Uropian
conditions by political methods has
been a failure.
l do o believe that universal
happiness can be brought about
either by legislation or by force.
.
EQUALITY theory
The idea that all men are created
equal and have equal rights is so
modern that it was almost born
yesterday. Much of the worlds
present trouble, it seems to me,
arises from the acceptance Of the
ideal of quality without the realiza-
ton that it is only an ideal and
does not exist in reality.
The best that can be hoped for,
I am convinced, is a gradual ap-
Proclamation, over a period of hun
dreds, perhaps thousands Of years,
to a social order in which every
body will be secure in his enjoy
ment of whatever his individual
character and ability entitle him to;
no more, no less.
Economically speaking that, it
seems to me-, is the nearest We can
ever expect to come to equality;
and that would not mean either
equality of wealth, equality of social
status or equality of intelligence.
DEMOCRACY the world
If we are ever going to have
anything resembling Utopia, it is
going to be brought about by the
slow and sometimes painful pro-
cesses of democracy, and not by the
dominance of a few over the many
or of one class over another class.
The ancient Greeks had what
they called democracy, in which
a small group achieved a wide meas
ure of individual liberty and con-
tentment at the expense of I Large
group of slaves. Communism, as
demonstrated in Russia, seems to
