Hitler was preceded on the ros-

Nazi leader, who read the Nazi
party's annual proclamation, in
which the Nazi theories of race
hatred were expounded at length
and the Jewish people singled out
for particularly savage attacks.
The proclamation stressed Ger
many's demands for colonies and
called upon the German people to
accord "blind obedience to the
leadership of the Reich" and to
accept uncomplaining and with
"the frightened belt" the increasing
hardships that have beset the Ger

Georgia To Shoot
Chain Gang Fugitiyes
In Spite of Laws

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. % (CNA)-
Georgia chain gang wardens re-
instated "shoot to kill" orders for
fugitives this week and asked re-
storation of the whipping post for
prisoners who attempt to escape.
Votes were taken at a meeting
called by Governor E. D. Rivers to
check escapes which he said had
reached 'seandalous proportions"
loo in August.
Whether whipping could be res
tored legally was a question. It was
abolished in the administration of
Thomas w. Hardwick, as COVER
nor in 1928. Hardwick pointed out
then hat it violated the Georgia
Constitutions Bill of Rights which
provides neither Punishment be-
yond the limits of the State nor
whipping, as a punishment shall be
allowed.
Rivers indicated that such a little
thing as legality will not be per-
'mitted to bar resumption of the
practice. He said Attorney Gener-
al M. j. Yeomans would decide. eff
he rules we can return to whipping,
III cooperate with you and put it
on trial under certain restrictions"
the Governor promised the chain
gang officials.

The prison, described "as near es-
cape proof as you can get it." was
built with Federal aid.

Union Refuses to Support Jim Grow Role
w. J. Barber Says
Lower Rates Increase
Use of Gas Heating

New, lower gas rates are res
ponsible for a rapidly increa ing
use of automatic gas eating in
Omaha, according to w. J. Barber,
assistant to the general manager,
Metropolitan Utilities District.
A large percentage of the new
homes now under construction and
those completed this fall will have
the advantages of completely au-
tomato gas heating.
Besides the lower gas rates,
which went into effect in January
of this year, new gas heating equip
ment is SO highly efficient in opera
ton that operating costs have been
progress lively reduced. These rea-
sons, plus the advantages of care
free operation, greater cleanliness
and more uniform comfort, is win
ming the approval of builders, and
many who are remodeling as well
as those who have decided to con-
vert existing equipment to gas.
The modern gas furnaces have
provision for humidification forced
circulation, and air filtering.
Dry, parched air, in which most
of us live during the winter months,
is believed by physicians to be one
of the greatest single contributing
cause to the common cold, which
is said to cause an annual economic
loss running into the millions. Such
air has an Initiative effect upon
the delicate membranes of the
throat, lungs and nasal passages,
which prepares them for the at
tack of the as yet undiscovered
germ causing common cold.
Adequate artificial humidity in
home heating, such as that found
in modern gas heating equipment,
will eliminate in homes, at least,
the principal cause of winter ills.
In order to acquaint Omaha re-
sidents with the actual cost of
automatic gas heat, applied to
different homes, the Metropolitan
Utilities District is offering a free
gas heating service. The Utilities
District heating engineers will
make a complete, careful survey of
a home, prepare recommendations
as to the type of gas heating equip
ment suited to the particular re-
quirement, and estimate accurately
just how much it will cost to heat
with gas. 1t seems that many PEG
pie r under the impression that
gas heat is expensive and the Dis
trict is taking this means of de-
monstrating that homes may be
heated cheaply and efficiently with

dency to give their owner an amazed
expression-even the younger genera
ton hiss this startled look.
There are two to seven children
each year. In many respects they
resemble their parents after they as
sumo some of the colors. However,
as we have said before, owls do not
care to be made much Of" so a
more intimate friendship than they
desire is out of the question.
The Montagnais Indians call this
owl "philip-pile- -tshch." Translated
it means "water-dripping OWL" because
of its rather unusual notes that from
distance cannot be distinguished
from water dropping from a height
down upon sounding board or stone.
The legend says: Once there was an
owl so big it became so proud of its
voice it decided to drown out the
noise made by the waterfall. It
roared and roared so loudly that the
Great Spirit heard it. The Creator
decided to make the presumptuous
owl lesson to others who thought
they knew better than He. So the
owl shrank to his present proportions
and has soft voice like dripping
water.
