Why IHate the Nazis
By a German Mother

a few lawyers remained in the
true sense of the word-dispensers
of justice.
Into this world of perishing JUS
tice, of duIIed morality, entered
Hans Litten, pure, mselfish' cour-
ageous, inspired by the one glow
ing wish to check the downfall OF
Justice and humanity.
He pointed out numerous muir
ders for which the brown horde
were responsible. For this the
"Schutz-Staffep and the Schultz
Abteilung" hated him.
In one of these murder-trials ne
summoned Hitler as a witness.
BY persistent questioning ne
brought Hitler into the disagree
able situation of being obliged to
swear that he was acting accord
ing to the law; that he was ex-
polling from his party all func-
tionaries who did not act legally.
Hitler thus had to perjure himself.
This action of my son Hitler has
never forgotten!
When Reichstag Burned
In the night of the burning Of
the Reichstag, on Feb. %, 1888,
my SON was imprisoned. And now
the NaziS took vengeance on their
former opponent by the most bru-
tai ill-treatment. Not a single
limb remained uninjured. His
whole body was one single quiv-
ering wound. They shot through
the window into his cell, always
very nearly hitting him and shout
ed:
1--WE are just practicing now.
But tomorrow you will be really
shot"
They held a gun against his
temple.
"Now you will be shot. But we
propose to have a souvenir of your
death agony. In the moment OF
your being shot you are going to
be photographed"
The flashlight flares up, the ap-
paratuS clicks. But no hot is
fired.
They dragged him FIR O m one
concentration camp to another
and forced him to perform the Sc
verest tasks. In the meantime,
they would beat him with bay
onet. They harried his weakened
body by the most brutal drilling.
They made him exercise in re-
Ginning position over pools filled
with manure, until he became I'M
conscious and fell face downward
into the pool. Not only my son,
10 thousands they have thus ill
treated and tortured.
care You PrOud?"

when your son is brought up to
be such a brute What else will he
learn in the Hitler-yOuth, where

issued, the increase has steadily
been maintained, it was said. In
June, there was an increase Of more
than so per cent above June, 1899.
Most of the applicants fall within
the 21-24 age range, the official
said.
More Applicants Expected
The Clerk of the Peace office ex-
poets an even larger number of liz

few weeks. 1t was pointed out that
there will be a zero hour" for mar

This zero hour would come when

Gold is where you find it."
! Perhaps not always the shiny

which can take the place Of gold and

kind of gold is not always so easy

One person did and that person is
Mrs. Orlando Houston of near Mil
ford. For last year from a carefully
attended garden she harvested vege-
tables worth $169 when judged on
the basis Of current market prices,
Mrs. HOuston's remarkable garden
record was brought out when the
committee on the Sussex county
land-use projects made a study Of
garden conditions in Sussex last
spring. Under the direction Of Miss
Louise WhitcOmb. home management
specialist for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service, Mrs. HOus-
ton had kept an accurate account Of
her home income and expenses. So
it was easy for her to quickly give
the Sussex county home demOnstra-
ton club members an accurate esti-
mate of how much her home garden
meant to her last year.
Each year the HOustOns have a
One-acre garden close to the kitchen.
There are three in the Houston
family and Mrs. Houston must pre-
pare meals for hired help many days
Of the year in addition to the family.
She says that some of the produce
from the garden is sold and il
brings in enough cash for food that
has to be purchased like coffee,
sugar and salt. After her. experience
with the home garden, Mrs. HOus-
ton feels that a home garden from
a quarter to a half-acTe in size is
ample to supply the table needs for
most families and that there would
still be a surplus left over for
canning.
A member Of the Shawnee home
demonstration club which is under
the guidance of Miss Gertrude HOl-
lOway, Sussex county home demon
agent, Mrs. Houston is a
staunch believer in progress even
when 1t comes to new varieties of
garden vegetables. She keeps in
touch with the horticulture depart
ment at the University of Delaware
from which she receives each year
a list Of the new vegetables best
suited to Delaware conditions. Fer
tilizer recommendations of the Della

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
NGfritiOHist for the State Board
of Health
SO0
VEGETABLE HABITS

Food habits in the United States
have changed considerably in the
last twenty years. This change is
strikingly illustrated by the in
creased quantity of fresh vegetables
consumed.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has some figures to
support this point Shipments OF
snap beans increased from about
/ l,eOO cars in 1920, to 10000 in 1880,
carrots from 1000 to $4,000 cars,
spinach from 5000 to 10000, and
tomatoes from $4,000 to "a 1000. Fig
uTes comparing 1920 and 1910
would undoubtedly show an even
bigger increase in the amount of
vegetables used.
Improved transportation is one
cause Of this increase in the use of
vegetables. Before our modern
trucking and refrigerator cars the
housewife was quite limited in her
choice of fresh vegetables. She
could buy only those which were in
season locally Now her own grocer
can offer her a choice gathered from
all over the country.
Vegetables which used to be used
only in a limited section are now
coming into nation wide popularity.
Turnip tops. beet tops. collards, egg
plants. kohlrabi, soy beans, brooch
Ii, brussel sprouts, and caulifiOwer
have all come into more widespread
use.
Varieties of vegetables have also
heen improved. Long, straight
streamlined carrots with rounded
tops are easier to scrape. Longer and
stTaighter cucumbers with round
ends yield more slices. Tomatoes
are firmer, rounder, and more
meaty. Celery with fewer strings
and stringless green beans also make
things easier for the housewife.
Increased knowledge of the health
value of fresh vegetables has also
contributed to their recent rise in
favor. Vegetables, particularly
green leaves are important sources
of vitamins, calcium. and iron. The
use Of more vegetables would make
an even greater Improvement in the
American diet.

YOUR CHlID AND HIS GARDEN
LOUISE PRICE BELL

LOUISE PRICE BELL
Every child likes TO play in the
dirt" Is dot the sand-pile a happy
substitute which proves Just that?
And almost every child is an embryo
gardener who-if given a chance
will develop with surprising rapid
ty into a full-hedged one.
Make sure that your child has a
little plot Of ground that he can
definitely call his own. It isn't quite
the same when he helps Mother or
Daddy with their big garden, even
though that is fun. But 1t doesn't
create. that feeling of self-importance
that having a really truly garden Of
ones own does!
Youngsters have an instructive
love of growing things. and allowing
them to have their own gardens is
an excellent way to train them in
matters Of self-discipline, orderli-
ness, and the appreciation Of beau
| ties which are a result of their ef-
forts. For no one can deny that
Well-cared-for garden Of vegetables
is as beautiful in its way as is a gar
den OF fiOwers-and the choice
SuOulu De AeLL 70 the CullQ.
If Bobby's garden needs attention
at the same time that he wants to
play, the necessity Of a decision as
to what to do is excellent self-disci-
pline, and you will find that, almost
invariably, his choice will be to work
In his very own garden" For after
doing the amount of publicizing that
most children do when they acquire
a garden Of their own, it is the rare
youhgster who wants to be teased
about his bed OF weeds"
Give the children sites where the
soil is good, for, as in many other
projects, il is not wise to have the
first efforts meet with discouraging
results. II the land about your home
isn't fertile, be sure that you make
this one spot so, with the young
gardeners help. This will not only
assure better flowers and vegetables |
but will also make the soil easier to |
be worked by small hands. and allow
the plants to come through the I
ground much more quickly than they |
would through elayish soil. This !
rapid appearance will satisfy the
eagerness Of the young gardener.
Be patient in explaining to them
why the soil should be free from
Jumps and stOnes-shOw them ex-
actly how to prepare the soil and
plant the seeds (or plants) BUT let
them DO the actual work themselves.
Teach them the correct way to /,
sprinkle their gardens. Explain that
the tiny seeds which they have plant
ed in such even rows will easily be
washed into a heap. II they let too
much water fiow onto the earth.
Help them with the thinning pro-
cess until yor are sure that they
understand which are the weeds, and
explain that il is necessary to re-
move these to give the plants plenty
cf breathing space"
Most important Of all-when the
vegetables or flowers are ready to
use. either as a part of the family
menu or to decorate the home, be
lavish in your praise of them. It is
natural for earnest workers to like
10 hear praise about the fruits of
their labOrs" :. and surely chill
dren who have raised these pro-
ducts. thoroughly deserve praise!

pepper plants in the space formerly
occupied by early green peas. She
netted $50 from sale Of peas so far
this year and has canned greens,
asparagus and apple sauce for the
/ pantry.
The garden output which doesn't
pass over the Houston table as fresh
vegetables or which isn't sold to pro-
vide helpful cash in the busy farm
budget is preserved for winter use.
Last year Mrs. Houston canned
over 100 quarts from her garden,
including asparagus, greens Of all
kinds, cabbage, carrots, beets, lima
/ beans, string beans, corn and tOma-
toes. She always puts up vegetable
/ combinations, too, like corn and
beans or corn and tomatoes. She
would much rather put up vege-
tables than to buy them canned at
store!
Mrs. Houston follows the sug-
gestions Of Miss Pearl Macdonald,
nutritiOnist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service, when it
comes to the amount Of canned goods
stored away for winter use. Miss
Macdonald recommends Is to 25
quarts of tomatoes and the same
amounts of other vegetables and
fruits as well as some canned chick
en-, beef and pork for each member
of the family.
When asked whether or not she
felt the garden has paid in better
health for her family as well as in
money saved, Mrs. Houston replied:
Il am firmly convinced that our
garden is as important as any other
one thing in keeping up the health
of my family. For instance, during
the past three years our annual doc
tor bill has not averaged over six
dollars. And our dentist bills have
also been low even though we all
go to the dentist twice a year"
Mrs. Houston's canning work is
not limited to, vegetables. She feels /
that by canning and storing she, and |
other farm homemakers, can get |
food of the farm II months of the |
year. Besides the vegetables, she /
cans spare ribs, hogs head, tender
lOin, sausage and ground up meats /
for stews and scrapple. She helped |
a ne1ghDOr can beef last winter ana
hopes to butcher for herself this fall.
Revealed in the home records of
Mrs. Houston is the fact that last
year the family purchased $119
worth Of food and raised $47S worth.
For any rural hOmemaker such a
record is quite an achievement,
since 79 per cent Of the Houston
family's food costs came directly
from the farm. Mrs. Houston even
the fuel bill, obtaining as
much fuel as she can right from the
farm which last year amounted to
$50 worth of wood.
When Sussex county home demon
club members go on a tour

Tor next fall by Miss Holloway, it's
certain that one of the stops on the
trip will be the Houston farm near
