The Little Hitler" is Albert Foerster, Big" Hitler's lieutenant in charge of the Danzig Nazi party.
 Little Hitler" is well applied. Not that he looks like Hitler. Unlike Hit Ter, Goebbels and other dark-haired "Aryans," fair-haired, blue-eyed Foerster really looks the "ideal Nor die type" preached by Der Fuehrer with such fervor. But he is not tall as the Germans are romantically depicted in Nazi books and paint ings. In fact, he is short and squat and paunchy-he Hikes the good things of the table.
 But he is a Bavarian and so he has an accent very much like the Austrian-born Hitler. As much as possible, he has under-studied his idol. He walks like Hitler, talks like Hitler, tries to act like Hitler. He has even learned to scowl like Hit Ter.
 Foerster is 37, and like SO many of Hitlers leaders and favorites, comes from Bavaria. He had a minor gov- ernment post there and soon joined the Nazi party. For his zeal Hitler made him a "gauleiter'-a district leader. ..

delight, was sent to that city to be- come the local Nazi boss. Ever since then, he has commuted between Danzig and Berchtesgaden, where he always seems to be able to get the ear of the Nazi god. And each time he comes back and makes speeches in which he promises his liege subjects that Hitler will soon see to it that their city is incor- porated within the Reich, where it belongs.
 LONDON DUEL '.. NEVER PROVEN
 Outside of his trips to Germany, his greatest adventure was to come to London in July of last year. He made a great mystery of his object, but while in London managed to see a great many members of parlia- ment.
 Last March some of the London papers printed a sensational story which was never authenticated. Ac- cording to this yarn, there was great jealousy between Foerster mad Greis- CT. It eliminated in such words be- ing that challenge to a ruel was issued. The yarn had it that pis- tols were the weapons chosen and that Greiser, an expert shot, had seriously wounded Foerster in the stomach.
 What makes the story dubious is that man thus shot in the stom- ach. raSely survives and Foerster is still orating to Danzigers with plenty of lung power. The other fact that makes the yarn doubtful is that Foerster is a favorite of Hit lers. Any party man who hurt him would have felt Hitler's wrath. And Greiser is still actively functioning as head of the Danzig senate.

ent? Such a paint, used in ware
houses and factories where floor sur
faces are subjected to the toughest
possible treatment, ought to do for
your playroom floor, defying even
the feet of ping-pong addicts.
The special purpose of this paint
for cement floors is to keep the sur
face from powdering. The binder
plus a high-strength metallic oxide
pigment gives protective film
which is highly resistant to scufting
and scratching. 1t Is f1at-f1nished,
but may be given luster by the use
of paste wax or floor varnish over
the dry, finish coat.
Six colors-green, battleship gray,
chocolate brown, maroon, dust gray
and mustardy yellow-brown called
"oak"-are available. One gallon
covers from $50 to $50 square feet,
depending upon suction and type Of
surface. Ten to twelve hours be-
tween coats must be allowed for
driving, and at least "a hours before
the final coat is subjected to use.
Two medium coats will wear better
than one heavy coat, unless you use
varnish over it. Then one coat plus
the varnish will do.

Paneled walls below grade have
been more or less a matter of wish
full thinking up to now. Everybody
knows that dampness makes wood
swell and warp and dampness has
lurked as potential enemy in base
ments for generations. Why risk in
stalling fine wood. however lovely,
where it may be spoiled by moisture?
You need not have these inhibi-
tions today, however. You can use
plywood instead of solid panels, ply
wood made of genuine hardwood
American walnut, white oak or
African mahogany-and know that
1t is water-resiStant
A new plywood designed for mod
ern treatment of walls anywhere in
the house, especially in dampish
Easements, Is on the market. 1t
comes in panels 4 by 8 feet in size,
light enough to be handled by one
man and requiring much less mailing
per square foot of coverage than
ordinary panels, since all joints come
on studs. 1t costs much less than
solid wood panels-about half we
are told-averaging 1712 cents per
square foot, uninstalled. Because of
its light weight is can be installed
more rapidly than solid wood, bring
ing the total installed price to about
20 cents a square foot This means
a room Is by 81 could be paneled
for about s56.
These decorative panels contain
three plies of wood welded together
under heat and pressure. Even the
binder that holds the plies together
is water-resistant up to the boiling
point of water. This makes a far
more waterproof joint than ordinary
glue. The binder is also chemically
inert.
The material is immeasurably
stronger than its light weight and
thinness would lead you to believe.
A panel Il inch thick will carry a
load of 400 pounds or more under
