 Hitler Greatest Man in Europe
 Who was the greatest man you saw in Europe?" we asked.
 Hitler" she promptly replied, and he is in my opinion the greatest organizer and builder in the whole world" she added. He has done wonders for Ger many, not only in rebuilding the country, but in rebuilding the en- tire people as well. In Germany he is an idol, and his every act is held up as an example for child ren to follow. And don't forget he is absolute boss, but he is just boss. He took the young people of Germany out of the beer and dance halls and put them to work and now they admire him for it. Don't take all of this Jewish pro- paganda you read about him too seriously-go over and see for yourself as l did, and then you will realize what a great man he is"
 How about Communism and Nazism?" we asked.

Do you know" she said, that you have a lot more Communism and all the other isms right here in the United States than they have in Italy, France, Germany and Russia combined? Things are happening right here at home that could not happen in any of those countries. How long do you think John Lewis, Martin, Bridg- es, Dave Beck and that kind ot people would be allowed to strangle business over there? Why they wouldn't last ten min. utes-it's only here in this coun. try of ours that they can get away with those kind of actions "Strikes-they don't know any thing about them, and if there is any trouble it's settled by the government, and settled right then.

 II spent some time in rural England, and to my notion. that is the finest part of the country. 1 love the country in England, but deliver me from the cities. England is not so good as far as business is concerned. There is lots of labor troubles, wages are starvation low, and commodity prices are high. Just about the only busy spots in the country are the shipyards, munitions fac tories and airplane factories, but the ships they are building are all warships, and that does not look good to me.
 War in Europe? Not for years, and don't let anyone tell you any thing different. Remember what Hoover said back in 1914, or was it 1916?
 Well, anyway, he said, Food will win the war, don't waste it, and that was one of the truest things that Heroic ever said. There is not a country in Europe, with the possible exception oi Russia, that could feed itself for six months if they were cut of from the rest of the world. That's the lesson Germany learned in the World War, and they all know it now. In the next war it will be food that wins, not ammunition

Men like girls who are simple and
natural and who don't put on any
airs. No boy comes back a second
time to see girl who makes him feel
cheap and as If he was not in the So
ciety class to which she pretends to
belong. Many girl never has any
dates because she is so overdressed she
makes lad feel that he couldn't ask
her to ride in his flivver or to have
ham sandwich and go to the movies
with him.
Men like girls who have mercy on
their pocketbooks, girls who don't de-
mand to be taken to the most ex-
pensive places to dance, who suggest
going on the street cars instead Of
taxicabs, who can eat enough before
they leave home to last until thev
get back and who don't have but one
birthday year.
And, finally. men hate and loathe
the girl who has the telephone habit
and who calls them up in business
hours, thereby risking their Jobs. Nor
can they stand the girl who hounds
them over the phone to come and see
her and wants to know why they
haven't been around.

Process of
"Leveling''
Children
Avoid Reducing the
Leaders to the
Whole Group.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

MA, CAN'T have one Of those?"
" "One of what?"
That. That thing that John has.
Can't have one?"
Why child, that is a slide rule.
Little boys don't need slide rules"
Il want one. Why can't I have
one? John has one. Why, Ma, why2"
For PHYS sake, John, why can't
you keep such things out of sight
and not start him? Now I'll get no
peace until he gets his hands on that
rule"
Well. really, he can't have it. And
I can't see why I should have to hide
and stop my work, here in my own
room, just because a spoiled kid raises
a holler. I'm telling him to stay out
of here and understand that he can't
touch my things, and 1 mean it.
1t is a mistake, this trying to level
out all differences between children,
their belongings, their gifts and their
weaknesses. 1t cannot be done. Little
boys cannot use slide rules All chill
dren are not gifted musicians. There is
no reason for giving all the children
in the family violins because one child
can play well There is no sense in
saying: I'D like to send Marcia to
study medicine. She has the gift.
But I can't send the others so l can't
send her" Why not? What good
will it do the others to have Marcia
lose out? NJ good at all. and Marcia
and the world in general will be the
losers.
1t is childish to covet what others
have, what others can do, what others
are in themselves, but childishness is
human trait. That does not mean
that it is to be accepted and cultivated
for what it is. This race ought to grow
up little in each generation, and this
trying to level out all differences,
whether of intelligence or abilities,
or what not, is decidedly not growing
up
There are gifted children in every
generation, and these are to be the
leaders. Leaders are needed. There
is no getting on without them, so why
grudge them, why covet their powers
and try to take them away or give
them to others who have no under
standing of them and can make no
use of them?
Everybody wants to lead. Some can
and some cannot. The only thing
to do is to admit that and train each
child according to his gifts or lack of
them. Cooperation is a far better
scheme Of living than competition.
Accepting the leaders and strying to
follow them in their ideas is a more
intelligent way of doing than to deny
leadership and reduce the whole
group to dead level.
1 do not like to see classics like
Hamlet" rewritten in easy words.
Shakespeare words created Hamlet"
I don't like to see high grade intelli-
gences subjected to the dead level of
a rigid curriculum which has been
graded to the level of the lowest grade
mind. object to holding all members
of family down to the tastes and
abilities of the weakest member in it.
The only way that succeeds is the in
dividual way whereby each gets what
he can take to the full. We can never
lift the weakest to the highest ones
levels, but it is possible to reduce the
leaders to the dead level and make
them struggle bitterly to escape.
Don't try to level children in home,
school or society.

them any easier to live with.
There are really some individuals
whose nervous mechanism is so built
that they can lay claim to being

quick to call themselves that are petty,
quick to exaggerate, and make every
trivial occurrence seem magnified in

a gracious smile for each curtsy, and
the ceremony is much more formal

the rules governing presentations are
as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibral-

told there would be tales of disappoint-

part of those who do not receive the
convicted command to appear at the
Palace in court regalia. 1t is His
Excellency's good wife, however, who
finally presents" her sisters at the
Court Of st. James and it is reason
able to suppose that the solution of
the ticklish problem is largely hers.
1t is in such unrecorded ways than an
ambassadors lady valiantly serves her
country behind the scenes!
The privilege Of appearing at court
is the prerogative only of the upper
most social strata. 1t belongs by
birthright to all members of the Brit
ish peerage, and is granted by courtesy
to all foreign diplomats. Persons of
unofficial status, however, have that

the United States there are eight or
ten invitations allotted per court,

AnSwer-1t is always easier to get
man than it is to keep him. Perhaps
because men are roamers by nature
and are always seeking novelty, fresh
faces and a different line of attrac-
tions even in women. Perhaps it is
because so many girls put all Of their
charms in their show windows and
after a man has looked these over he
Is on his way. They have no reserve
stock with which to hold his interest.
A girl may have pretty face, but if
she is dull and tiresome, man gets
tired of looking at her. She may have
a keen line and be Wisecracker, but
If she monopolizes all of the CONVEX
sation he gets tired of listening to her.
She may be a peach of dancer, but
if she is never willing to stay put of an
evening he drops her because there
are times when his feet hurt and he
is tired and he doesn't want to be
dragged around a dance floor.
So you see, it takes more than one
thing to hold man. You just can't
flag him down and call it day. You
