It's An Axis
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Cinclnnau Enqlirer)
 The relations of Germany and Italy have been something of a mystery Obviously. the two Fascist powers have worked closely together for several years Yet they have been at odds the fate of Austria and have not eye to eye with regard to thelr intervention in Spain British policy for several months has been directed toward preventing a close intimacy between Berlin and Rome That policy was failure.
 Are the two principal dctators in genuine alli- ance? Is their relationship better described as an entente? Or a rapprochement? None of these terms to fit. The two governments obigingly gave an answer recently. Their joint communique, after eX- tensive diplomatic conversations, referred to the Rome Berlin axis" So at least we now have the world that correctly describes their dealings Of course still have to find out what an axis is But the term is suggestive one. An axis IS something about which other things devove It IS an unchaneing line to which other things are rea- tive The implication is that joint policy agreed upon by Berlin and Rome determine the con- tours of European politics-that Great Britain and France Czechoslovaka and Russia will get their cues from the axis and act accordingly.
 More concretey, the Rome Berlin axis seems to imply joint Italo-German policy of support for the rebel forces in Spain a common agreement to isolate Czechoslovaka and weaken the postwar status quo and unified program of expansion, With Italy dominating the Mediterranean and Germany expand- ing eastward into the Danube-and perhaps farther
 Thus the two Fascist dictatorS have not made an alliance to wage jointly for common end. Ihey have worked out set of policies which doveta1l neatly supporting other at the expense of the territorial arrangements set up in 199 The relation to this axis came several days later when Great Britain France and Soviet Russia agreed to colaborate closely to underwrite the status quo
 Theirs is not rival axis. It is set of r-wheel brakes to prevent the Fascist machine from traveng too fast It is notable as the first clear sign that Great Britain is willing to work with the Soviet Union in order to hold the reckless ambitions o the two Fascist Relationships in check.

While earlier in the spring we were becoming little suspicious that tota eclipse progress far Southeast Alaska was concerned it seems that after all the sun was just preparing for today to stage it's biggest show in 12OO years and fortunately are not in on it.
 Only the southern part of the United States and the area to the south of Uncle Sams borders the phenomenon. The shadow, according to scientists, was to speed at average rate of A miles minute But early in the day and again late this afternoon it travels much faster because of the santng angle at which it hits the earth
 At noon when the shadow is directly overhead it moves only 2l miles minute.

We want a dog" my children

When they were eight and
twelve;
Within the volume Care of Dogs"
They soon began to delve.
We're ready now" they said one
day,

We've learned just how to feed

And TO teach him how to bowl
He'll have good manners, we are
sure,
And follow every rule
SO Smoky" came to live with US
But one day ran TO school
He ran between the rows of desks
He shifted the chiIdren's feet.
They laughed aloud in happy mood
As he tore by each seat.
The teacher was disgusted-
Wen have to call the pound.
This is a place for children
We can't have dogs aroundl"
Then courage born of love
Came into Adrian's heart.
He stood right up and spoke aloud
My dog and 1 won't partl"
He got his Jacket and his can
Without a further sound,
Then stood and waited with his
dog
For the master from the pound.
The teacher felt a bit chagrined
Her thoughts began to roam;
She smiled at last, then sweetly
said,
Now you may take him home."

One of the difficult and at the

Professors in many colleges are

even so we have only touched the

Is it true that man is but beast?
Is there no spirit in man capable
of fellowship with God? Has the

The story Of Esau and Jacob is most
pointed and instructive In its an

Testament quotations have been
chosen to express the truth Ct an
Old Testament lesson; namely,
