Hitler's promise is worth rather less

time of the Munich business, he has
broken every promise he has formally
made; to the group that put him in

The most cruel and most carefully

centuries has broken out and is still
raging in Germany.
Italy, by indirect means, has served
notice that France must hand over to
Mussolini the colony of Tunisia, where
the French population is said to be
10000 greater than the Italian, the
island of Corsica, and the part of
southern France long known as Savoy.
1t is true that this demand is not yet

Four Nazi spies in this country have

Organized labor in South Australia,
acting through it's unions, recently re-
jected plan to join in a defense
panep being organized by it's Federal
Government. Back of the refusal to
join in the panel is fear on the part
of the unions that labor will be mo-
bilized for industrial conscription, it
is reported. Workers, jealous of the
rights they have won through their
unions, and active on both the indus
trial and political fronts, see in this
plan a possible government attempt to
maneuver organized labor into a posi-
ton from which they could not retreat.
They figure that legislation would do
the rest and that labor rights, won by
years of active struggle, would be lost.

First Use =. Gunpowder
Is Credited to Chinese

The Chinese are generally credit
ed with being the first to use gun
powder, not only as an explosive,
but also as propellant for missives,
although no definite date for the
earliest use can be given, states a
writer in the Cleveland Plain Deal
er.
1t was earlier than 6l8 B. c. There
is a record of cannon of about
that date, inscribed II hurl death to
the traitor and determination to the
rebel" 1t seems not to have been
a new thing then.
European peoples may have heard
Of firearms before the Ninth CEN
fury, but the first account Of the use
Of cannon in the western world is
by troops Of the Byzantine Emperor
Leo in that century.
In the Twelfth century, the Chris
tians and Moors used artillery in
their wars in Spain. Improvements
were made in gunpowder in 1920,
and cannon Of small bore appeared
soon afterward in the armories of
all European nations. This new ele-
ment Of war speedily assumed a
most important part in continental
questions, and from that day for
ward the development of firearms
has gone on.

Break down the barrier,
With true friendship, tenderness, and kindness,
With resolution to acknowledge the fault,
With heart that forgive,
With hand that will help the needy,
And to scatter sunshine the gray day.

With life that is beacon light the weary traveller
And when you reach the end of the road
Come forth to meet the risen Lord
And then be with him for ever more.

Moving
Nv MOrris Gihha. s

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
The first of May is known as moving day.
It's been thus for years and those who stay,
Just still give the landlord his monthly pay
Saving the moving charges they would like away
real day of work and everyone helps
To gather up brie-a-brac in attic shells
That you just hate to throw away
Because you do you'll find some day.
Years ago horses pulled large van,
That took all your possessions, small things can
Were tucked and pushed in every bare,
So you couldn't get any in if you dared.
The dishes and glasses wrapped with infinite care
So they would not rub much a hair
For real care in packing a chore,
So that by night you felt the core.
Now auto trucks take your moving loads,
On cement highways dirt street roads,
Much faster and hold more by far
Than the old before the auto car.
