Many Germans spoke enthusias-

Britain as a peacemaker. but most
saw the glory as Hitler's.
Their feelings differed widely from
the motion which they entertained
three or even two days ago. Then
it looked like war. Now, they said
German troops would just take a

Hitler by his latest stroke had

In case you really want to know

Under this fantastic plan people
will receive not 80 dollars but 80
warrants" Bancroft said. For or
dinary usage these warrants won't
be worth more than five or ten
cents on the dollar.
The act provides, however, that
the state must accept these war
rants at face value in payment Of
taxes. 1t is obvious that the wealthy
people and the big corporations
with great tax bills will buy up
the warrants at five or ten cents

bills that way.
They are the ones, not the

DeWev Becomes Timber
For 1910 Nomination

WASHINGTON. Sept. 80. CUP)-
Thomas E. Dewey, the Owosso,
Mich. boy who got himself elected
county attorney of New York, is
on the way today toward possible
Republican nomination and election
to the presidency in 1910.
If those possibilities should de-
velop. Dewey will have brought Off
the political parlay of the century
county attorney. governor, pres
ident in three years. He looks to
a great many persons like the
answer to Republican prayers.
For some six years now the COP
has been looking for a man who
can get votes-a great many votes
Dewey may have that ability. The
November elections this year will
show him up one way or the other.
He was nominated by acclamation
for governor yesterday by Repub-
iicans in New York state convention
at Saratoga. Today, at 36, one
year older than the minimum re-
quired for a president Of the Unit
ed States. Dewey begins an attempt
TO take the state of New York away
from the New Deal-Democratic par
". If he wins New York state,
which casts the largest vote in the
electoral college, Dewey will have
a valid and persuasive claim on the
Republican presidential nomination
in 1910.
That is not TO suggest that Dewey
need only reach and seize a 1910
nomination if he is elected governor
of New York. First, he must hurdle
the hazards which lie before gov
ernor of a great state in the ad-
ministration of its problems. He
must meet and outwit the newt
able Stop-Dewey movement which
viii develop among other men who
would have claims on the 1910 Re
publican national convention. There

have demanded that the striker.
De placed OH state relief rolls. The
state has refused. and now faces
disagreement with the federal gov
ernment. which has asked thai
the strikers be certified through the
state agency to WPA. Pomeroy will
confer with Governor Frank F.
Merriam within "a hours over the
federal demand, he said. The states
answer, he added, probably will be
no.
California, Pomeroy said at the
beginning, has the most liberal re-
lief policy of any state in the ma
ton. Regardless of this, he added
later, pressure groups are attempt
ing to break down the system by
increasing relief costs beyond the
ability of the state TO pay. Cost OF
relief in California now totals about
s20,000,000 a month, he said.
Pomeroy cited two major reasons
why relief costs continue to grow,
not only in California but through
out the nation. They were:
l. I'VE are ooing more than ever
before to take care of the needy.
Once we have taken up new pro-
gram of giving people something
for nothing, it is hard to lay it
down.
2. The relief habit grows rapid
ly and grows in many directions.
Giving people something for moth
ing tends to make them weaker
in self-reliance."
In attacking subversive elements
seeking TO increase relief costs by
all possible methods, Pomeroy de-
clared his conversations with those
who have called upon him to pro-
test state relief policies almost in
variably ends on note summed
up in the words of one group:

il costs nor where the money comes
from. The sooner We can break

HAZEL.
ANSWER:

Hold everything, Hazel, and don't
permit the boy friend to take an
option on you while he makes up
his mind whether or not you are
the girl for him. His ] love you is
not enough to warrant your taking
the veil, staying away from dances
and turning down all dates.
Call back a boy friend when he's
in the midst of such an unreaSon-
able peeve and if he comes he will
assume to name the terms. They
will be hard and unyielding: for
ne is either a jealous bird afraid
of his rivals. or a selfish one who
doesn't want his girl to have any
fun without him. Let him work
out of his peeve and come back
which he will do if he cares-and
you may name the terms. They
should include the right to date
whom you please when you please
prior to the announcement OF your
engagement.
1t seems to me the modern gal
has it pretty tough. Times was
when a gal could take a few rounds
with a lot of lads, eventually find
in the lot a likely prospect and
go after him for better or for worse.
Nowadays after a few dates with
one lad, he steps up to say Il must
be your Alpha and Omega, or I
won't play" and unless the gal is
brave she gives him the option and
waits to see if he will take it up.
In the meantime she loses out on
the gal fun and as often as other
wise the option expires and she's
left high and dry, which amt fair.
