You know, there are folks who

always poison-and bad omen

And there are folks whu think the
Republicans, they are not so hot,

And | been thinking the thing
over and | guess both sides, they do
some funny didos, now and then
but neither side are not always a

Americas turkey consumption has
increased enormously since 1886,
when retailers staged an intensive
campaign to help farmers move a
bumper crop. Pierce said. Through
vigorous advertising and sales eff
forts, chains boosted consumption As

other distributors raised sales a to-
tai of 1855 per cent for the nation.

tanned this enviable status if Hitler
had not been equally alert. Der,
Fuehrer knew the British ambas-
sador to Berlin has always favored
a policy of Anglo-German friendship
against Russia. Furthermore, he
knew Russia was aware of Sir New
lies ambitions. That is why the
ambassador was kept busy commut-
ing between Berlin and London with
diplomatic notes which might have
led to an Anglo German settlement.
So uneasy did Russia become that
the supreme Soviet.councilymet hur-
.riedly and ratified the German non
aggression pact within 20 minutes
after Premier fVyacheslaff iMolotof
introduced it.
Suspect Each Other.
But this hesitancy, this obvious
"squeeze" play, does not speak well
for future Soviet-German relations.
Only few days before the ratifica-
ton, Russian deputies applauded a
mock battle in Red square where
young Soviet fighters routed an Gin
vading force" clad in German field
gray uniforms. The big question
now is whether Hitler has outsmart-
ed Stain to such a degree that the
Soviet cannot regain its former po-
sition.
Russia has things to fear from
Germany. Should Poland fall, the
convenient buffer" territory be-
tween the Reich and the Soviet
would disappear, bringing Hitler
closer to his long coveted Ukraine.
Should this issue develop into war
between the two nations (much to
the democracies' glee) no one can
tell whether Russia's mammoth but
untried army could stop the highly
efficient Prussian military machine.

Here's New Way to Cut Taxes
In Your Town: Grow a Forest

w AsH1NGToN.-Raise a forest
if you want to lower your
taxes. That's the advice of F. A.
Silcox, chief of the United States
forest service, who suggests that
American communities might fol-
low the example of European towns
in licking the tax ogre.
The idea is already catching hold.
Some 1900 cities, towns, villages,
counties, school districts, churches
and townships now own about 3,00O,-
900 acres of forests, and new plots
are. being reported to the forest
service almost every day.
BY selling fuel, pulpwood, Christ
mas trees, maple syrup, nuts and
other forest products, communities
can take substantial cut from their
annual tax levy. What's more; the
forests offer new Fairgrounds, fish
and game reserves and recreation
facilities, besides protecting city
watersheds and providing employ
ment.
Swedish Forest Runs Street Cars.
The community forest idea start
Led in Europe, where such famous
preserves as Germany's Black for
est and those at Fontainebleu and
Versailles have been producing rev.
enue for years. At Orson, Sweden,
the forest provides enough to pay
all local taxes and supply free street
car and telephone service.
Americas oldest forest is at New
ington, N. H., which was started in
ITO. Since 1882 it has provided
fuel for the church, the poor people
and the school, plus 1928 in cash
which paid community debts.
Seattle Forest Shows Profit.
Wisconsin has adopted the pro-
gram scientifically. Each year the
state pays 10 cents an acre to the
county owning the forest, until the
production stage is reached. Then
the state gets its money back as
timber is cut.
Seattle has the largest municipal

as Hitler gobbled up Czecho-Slova-
kia and Memel. Then, when APP
peasement talk started again, he
made overtures in the direction of
France and Britain. Finding them
faithless, yet still keeping the pow
ers divided, he turned about sud-
denly and signed the treaty with
Germany.
Two Schemers Work.
This is the supreme test of Soviet
diplomatic wisdom, for Josef Stain,
smart though he may be, is dealing
with another smart schemer in
Adolf Hitler. There is good reason
to believe Germany got the upper
hand during the tense pre-war days
when Russia hesitated over ratify-
ing the non-aggression pact.
Gloating over her spotlighted po-
sition, holding the balance of peace
or war, the Soviet might have main

forest, covering $1,000 acres. The
city claims to have sold more than
100000 worth of timber, which is
more than the initial cost of land
and trees.
Mr.. Silcox is sold on the idea:
ut doesn't take much money to
start a forest" he said. "Most of
them can be developed on cheap
land, and there are millions of acres
of tax-delinquent land that can be
put to work. One of the great val
ues of the project is the opportunity
it affords for replacing a public dole
by worthwhile work.

Thanksgiving Turkey May Haze Different Taste This Year,
1t AH Depends What Day You Choose Be Thankful

NJ EW YORK.-American families
l y may taste slight difference in
their Thanksgiving dinners this year
due to President Roosevelt's NOV
ing the holiday a week ahead-but
it all depends on the weather.
Turkey meat usually varies in tex
ture and flavor with the weather.
In cold weather, according to How
ard c. Pierce, head of the poultry
division of the Great Atlantic & Pa
cific Tea company and one of the
nations largest buyers of the
Thanksgiving birds, turkey has
special tang. Warm weather pro-
duces a loose-knit bird, he said. If
the period Immediately preceding
the new Thanksgiving date-Novem-
Der 23-is warm, Pierce explained,
turkey will have a more pronounced
flavor.
"In any event, there will be plenty
of turkey for everybody" the poul-
try expert commented, for produc-
ton this year will be almost so per

power, for together these mill

There is no longer any prob
lem of theology standing be-
tween the nations, although
American Nazis and Commu-
nists would have us believe
the two theories are at swords
points. Ten years ago this was true,
but through the ensuing years Ger
many and Russia have approached
a similarity. 't ~ ~.
Watuns Surprisingly Alike
Naziism thrives on principle Of
racial superiority which states that
an individual race is entitled to rule
the world. Bolshevism operates on
the opposite principle, that all men
are equal, and without distinction.
Since neither idea is practical in
application, both the Reich and the
Soviet can overlook their theories to
settle more realistic problems.
What really counts is gNaziism's
.seven-year swing from an attempt
to save capitalism to a concept of
state-controlled capitalism that is
not far removed from the Russian
system. From this parallel purpose
might spring almost anything.
Yet study of Soviet history dur
ing post-World war history will show
it's foreign policy has pursued one
aim consistently and with consid-
cradle success. That aim has been
prevention of German, Italian,
French and British alliance opposed
to Russia. So long as this "ganging
up" is averted, the Soviet will be
free to complete it's big task of in
ternal development. Here's how
they've accomplished it thus far:
Didn't Like Hitler.
In 1922 the Soviet signed a trade
treaty with Germany, then suscep-
tible, to any sort of back-slapping
after its rough treatment at Yer
sailles. But as matter of expedi-
ency Russia drifted away from Ger
many when Hitler came to power.
They didn't like him.
When Hitler left the League of
Nations, Russia played another card
by entering the good graces of &C.
neva-but not, mind you, until Ger
many was safely out of the road.
In 1886 came the third card, ap-
,plication of sanctions against Italy
in the Ethiopian campaign. Thus
the Soviet won sort of friendship
with France and Britain, with whom
diplomatic relations had already
been established.
New Phase Began in 1888
Last autumn things looked dark
for the Kremlin. Climaxing the SUI
detenland crisis, the ''big four" of
Europe met at Munich without con-
sulting Stain. That meant a posi-
BILE capitalistic unity which might
end in the long-feared anti-Commu-
mist alliance among France, Brit
ain, Germany and Italy.
Russia sat sullenly for many
months, leading some observers to
the false conclusion that she intend
ed to remain isolated. But Stain
was still playing his cards wisely.
He saw breach growing once more

Intersellar Collisions the Cause of Atom Showers

A Nobel prize winner reports that
the collision of interstellar energy
''bullets" and wandering atoms in
the outer atmosphere is constantly
showering the earth's surface with
electrically charged particles known
as mesotrons.
Some of the mesotrons, so called
because they are about midway in
weight between an electron and the
nucleus of an atom, disintegrate be-
fore they reach the ground, but 9TH

The energy bullets whose collision
with atoms produce the mesotrons
are cosmic rays, on the nature of
which physicists still are divided.
Just what occurs when the meso-
irons disintegrate has not been de-
termined. but DR.. Compton believes
that they divide into ordinary cleo
irons and neutrinos, the latter being
described as lightweight neutrcns.

Doctors Urge Vaccination
for All Children

The time to protect children from
the preventable diseases is during the
first year of life.
The Minnesota State Medical Associ-
atoms committee on public health edu-
cation today emphasized the Importance
of early protection against diphtheria
and smallpox, especially, both of them
the great terrors of mothers and fathers
Of generation age, and both of them
easily prevented today by means OF
simple and harmless preventive meas
ures. The bulletin on the subject is
third in a series issued by the COM
mittee as part of the February cam
paign of education carried on by the
medical association about children's
diseases and winter diets for children
Other preventives for scarlet fever
and whooping cough have been de-
Veloped and are useful at the discre-
ton of the physician for individual
children under his care. The pro-
tective measures against diphtheria and
smallpox should be a matter of routine
in the opinion of the physicians fol
every child.
In Minnesota last year there were
Il deaths from diphtheria. That figure
represented an almost miraculous re-
duction from the 232 deaths recorded
in 1910; but every one of the II could
have been prevented If the victims had
been immunized at the proper time
within the first year of life.
Vaccination against smallpox is
equally effective; but its very effective
ness has engendered a feeling of false
security with consequent carelessness
The result is, the bulletin says, that the
number of cases has risen astonishingly
in the last few years. More than 85C
cases appeared in Minnesota last year
and the physicians accordingly make a
special plea for vaccination of all child
rem in February.
