World War, as IN the hrSt, there Is an
issue respecting democracy. Most of the
governments of the past have been
relationships; they. are nothing new.
Whenever country reaches such q
condition of distress that it may be
called seriously i'll, dictator is neces-
sary; there must be one physician in
charge whose prescriptions will be i'm
plicitly followed. A democracy is a good
form of government for nation that
Is well, but 1t does not function effec-
lively in periods of severe stress. It
could not be made workable in the Ger
many Of recent years We Cancelled our
Bill Of Rights in 1917, and unless we can
cure our present ailment arising from
the unemployment of men and money,
dictator will most likely arise in the
United States without assistance from
Europe.
Particularly obnoxious and unreal is
the principal conclusion in Mr.. Smells
letter. which, reduced to simple terms,
is, that the United States has an obli-
cation to underwrite the major quarrels
Of the British Empire and permanently
guarantee her existence. This Is utter
folly. We were struck down by that OBJ
session in 1917 and lost nifty billions
plus. Another venture of the same kind
would give us bankruptcy and dictator.
The present war, which Great Britain
and France declared against Germany,
arose primarily from an attempt to pre-
vent Germany from recovering her old
properties, Danzig and the Polish Corri-
dor. If Germany wins the war, and has
the ability and ambition ascribed to her,
she will expand into the Ukraine, which
is near home-not into the United
States, 5000 miles away-and that will
keep her busy for long time.
The allied propaganda in this country
is now being developed exactly as it was
developed during the first World War.
And the effects are much the same; we
seem to learn but little from experience.
The distorted concepts which admittedly
fooled US in 1915 and 1917. are fooling
US again today. Whether We can re-
strain our jumbled emotions suf1iciently
to keep US from another childrens cru
sads Ia unfortunately uncertain. The
dangerous hysteria Of the mob Ia again
slowiy rising. COLD REALIsA.

was caught in the planer. The little
finger and the middle finger OF the
hand were so badly mangled that
they had TO be amputated. Il is also
reported that the thumb was almost
severed as well as the third finger.
It may be that two other fingers may
be amputated and that he may lose
his left hand, depending, Of course,
on the progress of the injuries.

Georgetown II. s. Football
Champions Of Peninsula
The Georgetown High School foot
bali team, in their eight scheduled
games, came out with clean record,
piling up III points to their oppon-
ents' 6 points. The only time they
were scored ON was with New Castle
on October Is and then during half
OF the game the second team was
used.
They are the undisputed cham
pions Of high school teams south Of
Wilmington and on the Eastern
Shore OF Maryland. They have met
all comers and still are willing to
play a series of post-season games
with any club disputing their title.
The teams Of Laurel and Seaford
have not played the locals. How
ever, they have trimmed all Of the
teams, It is said, with which the
two have played and which have
beaten them. They have been very
anxious to meet Seaford and Laurel
but because OF the refusal OF the two
towns to schedule games during the
season, Coach Keen and the Board
Of Education have decided. II Is said,
70 turn down any OFFER that might
be made by the faculty or coaches
Of either team. Differences between
Georgetown High and Seaford and
Laurel some years ago caused a rift

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-09-04

superstitions taken from the large
collection of DR.. B. A. Cartwright
of the University of Oklahoma:
To dream of seeing an angel is
good; to dream Of being one is
better; but to dream of speaking
to one is Of evil significance.
II you leave your dishwater in
the pan over night, you will dream
of the devil.
Friday nights dream. on saturs
day told.
Will always come true, no mat
ter how old"
Put dreamer's hand in cold
water to find out what he Is
dreaming about.
What you dream of while living
on your right side will come true.
II you dream of a wedding, you
win hear of a death; If you dream
of death. you will hear of a
wedding.
To dream of muddy water is q
sign of trouble.
To dream of nails is a sign your
reputation will be attacked.
To dream of a lion means your
courage and hope will return TO
you. a7
To dream Of being caught while
committing a crime means that
sore temptation will come to you.
To dream Of pipe is a sign you
will terminate a business deal
successfully.
To dream of war foretens an In
heritance.
To dream of snakes means you
will have trouble with your
enemies.
The first night you sleep under
a new quilt, what you dream will
come true.
II you place your shoes at an
angle of As degrees and enter your
bed backward, you viii dream of
your future home.
That individuals are warned
in dreams is the belief of people
in every walk of life. A strange
incident of this nature recently
was reported by Mrs. Mary johann
OWES, of Toledo, o.
Mrs. Johanovics' dream that
her sons bed was on fire was so
vivid that she awoks and rushed,
panic-stricken, to ths boys room.
She was just in time to save him
from flames that were enveloping
the bed.
