Spain and now they are working overtime trying to ruin America and I don't blame them if they can get away with 1t. American Christians can't stand up and demand their rights in their own country against Russian Communists, and atheistic Jews.
 Free speech for Bolshevists who put the star of red Stalin over the Stars and Stripes at the Worlds Fair in New York. No free speech for Father Coughlin in defense of Christianity and Christian Democ- racy.
 If red-blooded American Chris tians will stand for such an outrage. I'm sure Bolshevism rules the day in our own America, but God forbid.
 We all know that the interna- tional Jews are bankers that control the value of the dollar and the whole wealth of the nation and we know that is why we have such a depression in the richest country in the world.
 The American people don't have to take a lesson from Hitler. They have the Constitution and they can put the international Jews out of control if they want to. but they don't want to. We stilll have the rubber-stamps in congress and, of course. they won't insult the Jews.

Selected Poem
AN OLD TUNE

Dark Cormac cut reed and blew tune that lovely Helen knew When she was young and full of joy, And walked the cobbled streets of Troy. From Deirdre's Glen soon came maid Who put fair Helen in the shade. Her beauty dazzled Cormac so, He asked if she to Greece would go. And prove that never yet was seen A lass more it to be queen. He caught her by the wrist and sighed: For such as you brave men have died. I'd wed you now and have no sorrow, Or can wait until tomorrow" She opened wide her hazel eyes, And answered him with mild surprise: Until tomorrow you can wait, And don't be sorry if I'm late" Then smiling he let go her wrist And watched her vanish in the mist. And once more took the reed and blew A tune that only Cormac knew.

Admiral Stirling Scents War

A fighting admirars 4S adventurous years in the Navy are related in a book both frank and rich in
 anecdote, "Sea Duty" (Putnam: $3), by Yates Stirling, IT,, retired rear admiral. Based on that broad and lengthy experience, Admiral Stirling sums up his opinion on
 the present international situation as follows:
 World domination for Germany is possible only by defeating Britain on the seas and in the air. To con- quer middle Europe and give her the resources of the Balkans to prepare her for a future war, she does not require navy, but to conqueh the Americas, which is her ultimate aim, she must have navy powerful enough to conquer the British navy.
 Germany has no desire to force war until her fleet is ready. She began the World War too soon. She wa snot ready on the sea in 1914 :. America should desire that Hitler be forced to showdown before his new fleet is built and prepared to win a new Jutland from Great Britain, for if that happens, Ameri- ica's turn will be next. There is no doubt about that in my mind. War and peace in Eprope then are in the hands of Great Britain and France. War must come eventually, so why not now? It is the only way that Germany can be stopped.
 In the Pacific, war might cone because of some arrogant and ag- gressive action by Japan upon our cherished rights or upon our sovereignty. Japan will first wish to complete the subjughtion of China. then throw Russia back in the eastern provinces {. Like Ger many, she has planned her domina- ton of the Far East step by step. She can be stopped only by a com- plete defeat on the sea.
 If she makes misstep and drives the U. S. into a war. Japan will find herself in the same position that Germany did nj 1eiz. She will have against her Great Britain. Russia and an unconquered China. Could she hope to win?
 War or peace in the Pacific thus arc in the hands of the u. G.. but war in the Pacific, as in Europe. will come eventually.

Press Comment
OLD AGE IN THE PADDOCK
(New York Herald-Tribune)

N4NCW 4O1 n 44CA o4AA- T A0dAAS/
 A bill that has gone to the Pres ident for signature provides that superannuated horses and mules that have served the Army shall be sent to humane societies for care, instead of being mercifully destroyed when infirmities of age overtake them. The sentiment which inspired this measure is creditable. and marks great advance from the day when draught animals which had broken down in service were sold, and often driven by their purchasers to the last ounce of their strength. With this inhumanity ended, between the care they will receive from the Army, until they become decriept, and afterward from humane societies, there can be no doubt that these veterans will be well looked after. Of the two classes which are now to have their own version of social security, mules will be found generally to be in better condition than horses. The mule, although some of his instincts are perverse, has much sense. He can subsist and do hard work for long hours, on rough fodder, in high temperatures. He does not oyereat nor overdrink when he breaks a fast; he lives long, is surefooted and is courageous under fire. Truly a marvellous quadruped and invaluable to armies. His twilight years may be even more serene than those of his more pretentious fellow pension- CTS for the reason that he has never been pampered, has never overindulged: it is doubtful if any one ever saw an ovcrfat mule. May these veterans live in comfort as long as they wish. Their service. in war and peace. surely entities them to happy old are.

 He is willing to be patient with the New Workers lack of in- terest in the museums, the Plane tarium, the Aquarium and other civic centers, and he readily sees why eight out of ten city dwellers could reel of the exact where abouts of the Polo Grounds, Yam kee Stadium and the Madison Square Garden in a single breath. Bu he can't understand why most citizens of Manhattan consider Brooklyn, which is just acrsos the river, as a foreign country where a passport and visa are almost necessary.
 The hat check girls at the mid- town hotspots startle him, because he can't imagine that he is so Adonis-like as to deserve to be called "Darling!" and the cigar cite girl, putting her arm around his shoulder affectionately knocks him of his underpins.
 Taxicab drivers baffle him most. He can't make out why five of them will run their vehicles into each other against the curb, in 8 fit of self-destruction. Not being too well informed about the sta tuary of his home town, he can forgive New Workers for not hav- ing the slightest idea of what here is commemorated in the marble on Columbus Circle; but he is trifie shocked to learn that not more than one per cent of all New Workers have, at one time or an- other, been within shouting dis tance of the Statue of Liberty. WHERE TO EAT?
 IS THE QUESTION
 Int visiting fireman is impress ed by the diligent courtesy the New Workers extends to the out of-towner in one breath and the diligent discourtesy he extends in another.
 For example, ask a New Yorker street directions and he will all but lead you to where you want to go Honk at him for his own safety from an auto and he will pause long enough to cuss you out eloquently. He (the visiting fireman) is puzzled by the New Workers perennial problem Where to Eat-in town which is regarded as having the widest and best variety of restaurants in the world! He is touched by the winning sight of 8 "hard-boiled" New Yorker rendering a lump of sugar to a mounted cops horse.
 He is no surprised to learn that the main attendance at Broadway shows consist of New Workers. But that the bulk of the movie audiences is comprised of out-of- towners who could see the same picture back home gives him pause.
 And he goes home shrugging a puzzled shoulder.

You should see this handsome

sailf1n is one of our most attractive
fish from the southeastern part of
the United States and Mexico, you
will no doubt have an opportunity
to see many Of them in an aquar-

fresh water and is fast becoming
a great favorite.
There are some things that must
be done to insure the sailfin good
health II 1t is to return to you the
pleasure and profit you desire. The
outstanding precaution is to give it
what is known as the progressive
salt treatment. If possible obtain
sea water and dilute it properly for
the size of the aquarium. If this is
not possible, use evaporated sea
water or rock salt. Disease -produc-
