German War Veteran

Kuhn himself is a German Protestant. He was born in Bavaria, lived In Munich, and served in the World War as Obererlieutenant of the Bavarian Kings Guards, ex- plains. He saw service on several fronts, was wounded twice, and won the Iron Cross at Verdun.
 Coming to the United States in 1924, he spent egiht years in the Ford plant in Detroit as a chemi- cal engineer, was naturalized, and became Fuehrer of the Amerika- deutscher Volkesbund on January 1, 1886. .. Describing the uniform he now wears, he called 1t "typically American" It is composed of grey shirt, black trousers, grey coat, and overseas cap.

 Isn't 1t a little unusual for a 100 per cent American organiza- tion to give foreign salute" the correspondent asked.

Klux Khan. It may be that the dis
closures will induce a new sensitivity
to the Bill of Rights in Mr.. Justice
Blacks bosom. He piously expressed
this new sensitivity in his statement
Of course, a man about to mount the
bench of the Supreme Court could not
have done otherwise. But, whatever
the future may hold for Mr.. Justice
Black, the lesson for the American
people is plain: On guard against
Presidential arrogance.
They will be a feeble people if they
allow apologists to beguile them into
the belief that the arrogance which
led Mr.. Roosevelt into the appoint
ment of the Alabama Klansman is a
part of Liberal movement in behalf
of the downtrodden.- In the fight
against the court-packing plan were
thousands of men and women who
preferred the Constitutional interpre-
tations of the Liberal group on the
Supreme Court. In the protest against
the Black appointment are thousands
who would have been glad had Mr.,
Roosevelt appointed Senator Wagner
or Mr.. James M. Lands or Prof. Felix
Frankfurter. 1t is not Liberalism
which undertakes to pack courts and
puts Hugo Blacks on the highest
bench. 1t is mockery of Liberalism in
Presidential lust for power and anger.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Fire Prevention Week is here. What
are you going to do about it?
If you are short-sighted, you will do
nothing. If you have any interest in
protecting your property and your
family's lives, you will use Fire Pre-
vention Week as an occasion for TAX
ing the simple, essential measures
that usually suffice to make homes and
places of business safe from the most
common and dangerous fire hazards.
Fire Prevention Week is not de-
signed to sell anything. 1t is designed
to serve-to conserve-to protect.
During the Week insurance COM
panies, civic bodies, fire experts and
public officials will use the news
papers, radios, displays and printed
literature in an effort to make you
think and to make you act.
In the average home grave hazards
exist of which the owner knows moth
ing. Ignorance as we'll as carlessness,
is a prolific source of destructive fire.
The simplest and most easily cor
rected causes are responsible for the
great bulk of fires in dwellings,. A
slight fault in heating plant may
devastate a home. Accommodations of
papers, clothes, furniture and other
odds and ends require only spark
to burst into flame. Improperly
stored fluids such as gasoline, benzine
and kerosene are constant menace.
Amateur repairs of electric appliances
and light cords cause millions of dol
lars loss annually. Paint or oil-soaked
rage are often the cause of spontan-
eous combustion. An improperly pro-
tected hot electric iron, or cigarette
ashes invite fires.
1t costs you nothing to eliminate
these hazards, and takes little time.
That small effort may save you thous-
ands of dollars-and infinitely more
important, save a life. Fire Prevention
Week was inaugurated to serve you.
Make the most of it.

BE CAREFUL

Extreme care is required to keep
danger at minimum on he city's fire
trucks.
Last Saturday as one of the ma
chimes was on it's way in answer to a
fire alarm in the country, tire blew
out. Luckily the truck was running on
a dirt road. Had it been on an i'm
proved road and at an increased speed,
there might have been a repetition of
the wreck that occurred at the turn
just east of town few years. ago,
causing permanent injuries to two
of the fremen in line of duty. q
Tires deteriorate. Even though the
tread is apparently good, the rubber
becomes weakened after several
years. 1t might be a good idea to keep
tires on the fire trucks no more than
two years, then trade them to some
commercial trucking company.

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

Friendsville had its first experience
with fire of proportions, which at one
time during its progress threatened
to destroy the business center of the
town, but it was confined to two sta
bles, warehouse and dwelling. The
fire had its start in the barn of Will
liam H. H. Friend. Friendsville had no
fire equipment at the time, as no other
town in the county had, and the fire
was fought by bucket brigade.
H. ]. Speicher came to Oakland in
his automobile, making the trip in
five minutes less than two hours.
Oakland lost one of it's oldest citi-
zens when Coleman cambridge, col
ored resident, moved to Cumberland.
Coleman was sent to Oakland, from
Richmond long before the Civil War
by his master, DR.. Chalmer, and put
in charge of the Johnson farm, near
Oakland, later owned by the late T.
W. Casteel.
King Delawder bought $50 pleas
ants and shipped them to Baltimore.
The birds were plentiful, owing to a
law which prohibited their killing for
two years previous to that time.
Norval Speelman, Friendsville, who
was admitted to practice at the Oak
land bar at the July Term of Court,
was attending at'the September term.

Winter Baths
Cold Water Secuted
As Health Aid

The United States Public Health
Service threw a crimp into the
belief of many persons that a
daily ice-cold bath or shower is a
sure way to remain healthy during
the winter, when they pooh
poohed the idea today.
Public Health officials said that
good health requires that most in
dividuals take tepid or warm
baths. which do not shock their
bodies.
Cold baths, they continued, are
one of the main reasons for the in
creases in influenza and sinus
trouble during the winter.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. is
U.N.S).-History Of recovery from

of an immediate new depression
in the United States despite de-
cline in securities prices and other
indications Of lessening business

public funds Gin nature initiation

has not produced a business boom,
Colonel Ayres reports, because of
fear of further regulation and "of
the mpredictable."
STOCK DECLINE
Colonel Ayres compares recovery
from the depression to driving an
automobile uphill in low gear with
the breaks applied. Government
spending is driving business up
hill, fear applies the breakes end
progress is slow and jerky.
Stock market decline he at
tributes to "a general realization
by investors that new, managed
economics are not going to pro-
duce the vigorous progress Of re-
covery to prosperity which many
had anticipated last year and last
spring"
Plotting activity of the market
from March until late September,
the Ayres survey placed market
value of all stocks at about IS
billion dollars in March. By June
values had Sloughed off IL billions.

Washington, Feb. 19-(AP)-Agri-
culture Department experts worked
today on an lever normal granary''
bill to join the Presidents crop in
surance and farm tenancy recommen-
dations
The granary system, if enacted, will
be broader than the crop insurance
proposal, which Senators Pope, Dem
ocrat, Idaho, and Norris Independent,
Nebraska hailed yesterday as consti-
tutional. It would carry over surplus
yields in good years for use in poor
ones.
Submitting the crop guarantee plan,
President Roosevelt told Congress
yesterday itw as one of the reforms
essentially national in scope and adj
ministration."
''The citizens of our nation believe
that our form of government was
never intended to prohibit their &C
complishment," he added.
Some congressman linked this with
the statement of the President about
farm tenancy on Tuesday. They inter
preted both as bids for farm support

large the Supreme Court if justices

Seventy residents of the social

miles northwest of Shanghai,
were convicted today of habitual
use of narcotics and sentenced to
be shot in the governments "be

Extending the anti-narcOtic
drive to Nantllng after the first
executions of dealers at Peiping
several weeks ago, Chinese police
arrested 2,OO0 others subjected
of selling or using habit-fOr1ning
narcotics.
Jails were crowded to capacity
as the prisoners were dragged
from narcotic dens. When the Jail
population exhausted the available
Jail cells, the authorities ordered
the city temples turned over for
temporary quarters.
