CHICAGO Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE result of
every mixing of different races is the
following. very briefly stated" Reichs-
fuehrer and Chancellor Hitler says in
his autobiography: .4
"(A) The decline of the level of
the superior race, and
"CB) Physical and spiritual retro
eression and Herewith the setting in
OF slow but sure sickness.
Therefore, the Chancellor adds at
another point, there is only one su-
premely holy human law-the most
sacred obligation-namely, to see to it
that the blood is kept pure"
This is the third proposition of
Nazi race dogma: The proposition that
all racial mixtures are bad
Prof. Hans F. K. Guenther, leading
academic Nazi apostle of orthodox
race dogma, provides what seems to
be the most detailed list of what he
says are the evil results of racial
mixtures
The crossing of different racial
strains causes appendicitis, immor-
Atty. tuberculosis. ugliness and re-
fraction faults of the eyes, among
other things, Guenther says
Says Levels Are Lowered.
But if such are the results OF racial
mixtures, then in all logic the con-
sequences for human history of all the
mixtures which have taken place must
have been enormous. And on this the
Nazis are agreed.
The mixing of blood and the sink
ting Of the racial level which it causes
are the sole causes of the dying out
Of ancient cultures" in fact, Hitler
himself writes.
This is most especially true of the
Aryans, or Nordics, Hitler reports;
the conquering Aryan remained mas
ter and created great cultures as long
as he ruthlessly maintained his posi-
ton as ruler and kept his blood pure
according to Hitler. But:
History shows with terrifying clear
. ness that in every mixture Of the
blood Of the Aryan with that of in
ferior peoples the outcomes was the end
Of the bearer of kultur (that is, the
Aryan)," he says.
Hitler's Law Of Nature"
For it is law of nature, Hitler
writes, that racial mixtures lack the
virtues of their best blood and have
no will power. This in turn gives
the pure races an advantage over
mixed peoples and leads to the decline
OF the latter.
This danger the mixed peoples can
avoid only by bringing about the
Decentralization" of the superior Aryan
Of Nordic race, Hitler says. And this,
he solemnly declares. is precisely what
the raciaAy inferior peoples, espe-
cially the Jews, have set out to do
and with considerable success.
Even before the Nazis seized power,
Hitler writes, Jewish corruption" OF
the blood Of the German people threat
ened to destroy the last Aryan values.
So far had this process gone, In
fact, the Chancellor asserts, that the
danger was imminent that Germany,
at least in its big cities, would actually
be reduced to what Hitler describes
as the low racial level of Southern
Italy.
The Germans carelessness about
snixing their blood with that of in

most sweeping consequences, not only

for it has cost Germany world mastery:
The blood poisonings which have
affected our people. especially since
the Thirty Years War, have led to
decomposition, not only of our blood.
but also Of our SOULS" the Chancellor
writes, with the result that in critical
moments the German people disinte-
crate.
The German people lack that sure
herd instinct which is based on unity
of blood and which, especially in
moments of threatening danger, pro-
tects q nation against destruction, in
that among such people then all minor
inner differences disappear and the
closed ranks of a united herd confront
the common foe.

This short era of graduations is newsy and interesting. One narvels at the am- bition of young, middle-aged and older people who plug along getting an edu- cation as they go. Some are working for years in extension courses, night courses, acquiring an education by degrees, by degrees in two senses of the phrase We read of men adding a degree to three or four already received; of the mother and daughter and the father and son combi- nation; both finishing their education at the same time. It is all very interesting, and the ambition of our people for edu- cation in all it's branches is commendable. Columns of graduation news meet the eye in the daily press. The colleges and universities turn them out in the thou- sands Is it something like eighty thou sand men and women that are receiving sheepskinS this June? And the honorary degrees mount high Those who give meritorious service in some particular field are rewarded. Our colleges and uni versailles are generous in their awards in higher degrees. By degrees, as we said above, American youth, men and women gain in education and more education ad infinitum.

State Ads That Pay

Mississippi has found that good high way and good advertising make an ex- tremely profitable combination. The states advertising commission, state created and state-operated, spent S6,199 in promotion campaign and got an 5000 per cent return. The new road is the first paved North-South highway through Mississippi. The promotion material consisted of ads in metropolitan daily newspapers in the East, Middle West and South. More than II 0OO lines were used in A dailies. The ads appeared once a week, beginning the middle of December and running through January. More than 4,000 coupon replies were received in answer to the displays. The state com mission has increased it's budget for this years campaign to $15,000.
 The biggest returns were in gasoline sales tax increases, which jumped $433, 070 in three months. Communities along the route reported increased business, too. Restaurants said their gain was 25 per cent. The coast hotels had 30 per cent more tourist registration. Points of inter- est elsewhere in the state reported more tourist visitors. Mississippi has done a fine job of boosting, for itself, for news papers generally, and for advertisers quick to get the point of such tale.

Thin Desert Heat

All these hundreds of years people have been thinking and talking about the heat of the deserts Now the scientists are measuring it and finding it not so terrible after all The Carnegie Institution of Washington announces that although the heat at the surface of the earth may be 100 degrees, at a depth of six feet the earth is always cool. The really hot, desert sun-heat penetrates Scant two inches through the sand. And only a short distance above the desert the air is cooler than at similar heights above temperate regions.
 An idea for profiting by this discovery is suggested by the hotels and business blocks that never have thirteenth floor. Why not skip the first floor of desert dwelling and live only in the cellar and the upper stories? The latter might be supported on pillars with the breezes blowing in between, or the tall first floor might be well insulated and be used for storage and machinery. There will have to be quite a little machinery, of course what with elevators and electricity for lights and refrigerators and water pumps and one thing and another.
 The BedouinS may net be seriously in- terested in these ideas for desert archi- lecture - they are fairly well adapted to their deserts by now - but Californian architects will undoubtedly be doing something like this sooner or later.

Life is full of complications for most of us, but particularly so at his time for the graduate. Placement bureaus report high percentage of this June's grad uates faced with uncertainty as to their future means of livelihoods The begin ming of the last depression or the present depression is in it's incipient stages Some years back found students cnoosey about their jobs which they felt should be worthy of their years of study and the money spent in acquiring an academic or specialized or professional education. Eventually they became less fussy as the bad years became no better and possibly worse as the years piled up, so they took any kind of job. Some of that lost generation of young men and women are still looking for something better or at all in keeping with their course of study over period of years. Their college edu- cations have not gained for them any better salaries than those of the high school graduate. But by 1884 and 1885 1t was case of all and sundry out for any kind of job at any salary offered. So mindful of that lost generation the de- pression graduates, those finishing school and college this June are not too opti- mistic, it will be an old story over again of take what you can get and like it, and be lucky if there are any Gobs) for the asking

STATE HIGHWAYS IN CITIES
(Meriden JournaD

(Meriden JournaD
 Waterbury still has something on everybody, you might say, after reading that the state is taking over South Main street, will rebuild it at a cost of $200,OO0 and maintain it ever after. But Waterbury isn't first in this field. Meriden wheedled Broad street out of the state; Bridgeport got bridges, and many towns have nice highways at the expense of state motorists.
 The difference is that Waterbury is rated first in getting advantage from a 1887 general assembly bill sponsored by Senator Lawlor, of Wa terbury, allowing the state to estab- fish trunkline highways through cities.
 Thus, city residents who have grumbled about unfair treatment in the distribution of auto money by the state, get back some of their fees and assessments in the shape of im- proved city streets. The state takes on big additional load. The next more will be to compel the state highway department to remove snow from the city pavementS which are classified as trunk highways. Thai move would affect Meriden's Mair street, Colony street and Cook ave. nue.

A Book a Day
Faithful Picture of Old Southwest
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Some day the historian is going to make real use of the current crop of historical fiction. For the most part none of it is essentially great writing, but it does preserve all the color and the vitality of pioneer America.
 A book doing just this is Ross Me- Laury Taylor;s novel of the pioneer southwest, "Brazos" (Bobbs- Merrill: $2); the story of a cattleman's son who sets out on his own after the Civil War to find out what life is made of and who found apleaty.
 Brazos Bolton got his first job at $20 month, with board, delivering horses in Griffin; after that riding trail herd to the railroad and Dodge City. Constantly he moves against the raw backdrop of the cowtoWn frontier, of cheap saloons and honkey-tonk women, cattle thieves and card sharps, and in the end he learns that which his father once told him, that killing man leaves no easy feeling.
 But the story of Brazos Bolton is not really important after all. What MT. Taylor has contributed here with faithful integrity is the old southwest itself. In dialog and setting he has put the cattle coun- try down on a sweeping canvas. The result is that vitality which the historians might some day very well appropriate.
 There have been better novels of the southwest than "Brazos", but few have been better drawn P, c. F.

One More Atrocity

One more tragic crime-that of kid naping-has apparently been solved or partially solved in the discovery of the Florida boy who was taken from his par entS' home some time ago. Confession of a neighbor of the family to federal agents brought about the finding of the body as well as recovery of the $1O,OO0 which the frantic father had immediately paid over to the abductorS. Despite his ready agreement to the terms of those who took the youngster for ransom, it is apparent now that the little boy was killed shortly after being kidnapped.
 In all such cases it is practically cer- tain that the victim is going to be killed. Persons who set about the rotten task of Kidnapping an individual know almost from the beginning of the plot that they must kill the kidnapped man, woman or child or face eventual detection. The chances of kidnapped person escaping with life are slight. All of which is one reason why federal authorities insist that they be given full and complete informa- tion when they are called in on a case Speedy action is the only thing that could "break" a case and save life.
 In the Florida Kidnapping the G-men acted with dispatch and thoroughneSs. Despite this the boy was dead. We think he would have been killed no matter what the boys fathers course of action was. All of which should make the American people demand that the punishment for this crime of Kidnapping be made harsher Nothing is too terrible for those who perpetrate such a crime.

TRAVEL PROCLIVITIES OI CRUSADING CLERIC
 ARE RECALLED.

June g, 1888. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Granting that the charges made by the grand jury are SO serious as to cause concern to every resident of Waterbury and Connecticut, there is yet an amusing side. That is in the fact that one of the loudest shou.ers for Mayor Hayes resigna- ton is Rev. Dr. John c. Walker of the Second Congregational church. The reverend clergyman seems to have taken a great interest in civic affairs all at once. From my read ing of the newspapers, I thought that Dr. Walker spent most of his time jaunting about the globe in places far distant from Waterbury. I thought he spent good part of his time journeying to Australia and way stations.
 After all, we have courts in this state and has it occurred to Dr.. Walker to give them a chance to function? Or is he too busy plan ming another trip away from Wa terbury?
