Kruger Predicts
Fascism by Military
And JobIess Routes
Socialist Candidate
For Vice President
Sees Curb on Labor

Expansion of the military program
and insecurity caused by unemploy-
ment will lead the United States to
fascism, Maynard c. Kruger, Social
list party candidate for Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, declared
last night.
But it will be a 100 per cent
homegrown domestic American
brand of fascism, if we ever have
any. and it will wave a flag in one
hand and swing bludgeon in the
other" he said.
The running mate of Norman
Thomas on the Socialist ticket said
the United States is moving down
the same path followed by France
and Great Britain. Whether the
latter country wins or loses, she will
not return to her former economy,
he said.
Predicts Collectivism.
England will have a form of COL
lectivism. Either fascist form,
which will be like being kicked back
ward, or a socialized democratic
form that will march forward" Mr..
Kruger asserted.
"A two-ocean navy, a conscript
army and planes and bombs will not
restore democracy here, or any place
where fascism has grown normally
IN the soil of insecurity" he asserted
wherever you have that soil, you
get the same sinking flowers you
now see in Germany and Italy"
Mr.. Kruger, vigorous man in his
middle 30s. is professor of economics
at the University of Chicago and a
frequent participant in the univer-
sity's round-table discussions. He
spoke last night at meeting
sponsored by the Washington indie
pendent Committee for Thomas and
Kruger at the Hamilton Hotel. A
reception preceded the meeting.
Mr.. Kruger said there is not one
great capitalistic country in the
world that hasn't broken its neck

Each one of them in succession

He minimized the likelihood of
any invasion of this country by a
foreign power
There is more danger of the
United States using it's military
power in the conquest of the West
ern Hemisphere or in Asia than in
a European war" he said. He
added that Mexico probably would
be invaded by the United States
shortly because it was almost ira
ditional' in the Nations foreign
policy to "straighten out" Mexico
soon after entering a militarization
phase.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When men first began to use
weapons, there was no one nearby
to write down the fact. The art of
writing was not know. People were
too busy obtaining food and escap-
ing danger to think of writing any
kind of history.
If mans teeth can be called "a
weapon" they surely were among
the earliest things employed as a
means of defense. Kicks and blows
with the fists also must have played
a part.
Usually, however, we think OF a
weapon as some outside help, some
object which is picked up to strike
down an enemy or victim.
Early in the story of the human
race, we may be sure men picked
up sticks and stones from the
ground and used them to fight
against bears and other fierce
beasts. Most likely it was a case
of "hit and run" Early man must
have been fearful of what a bear
would do after it suffered a blow
which did not knock it senseless.
When the Stone Age was well
started in Europe, men used stone
pointed spears. We do not have to
guess about those weapons. Hun
dreds of stone points for spears
have been dug up in the floors of
caves which were homes of vari-
GUS tribes.
The stone points bear clear marks
of having been Clipped until they

Several readers submitted. as a
better and simpler verse, the old
grade-school classic:
Il" before "e",
Except after &C."
Unless sounded like "a"
AS in neighbor or weigh.
I must now explain that in the
beginning I had to discard the latter
verse because of its extreme mac
curacy. BY its wording it lists
neighbor and weigh as the only
exceptions to the rule of "i" before
"e" except after &C." whereas there
are many such words: feign, feint,
height, heifer, leisure, neither, rein,
reign, seine, seize, veil, vein, and
weird, to name but a few.
One reader made the rather
startling suggestion: After Il use
T: after C. use e. Just get
LICE in your head and you'll be
Ok
The verse originally given here
was meant to apply only to words
ending in -eive and -ieve. There is
no rule by which we can be guided
in the spelling of such words as lien,
rein, fierce, feint, mien, weird.

the very earliest weapons. In the
deep layers under caves, spearheads
are found but not arrowheads.
1t has been estimated that from
$4,000 to 100000 years passed be-
tween the invention of the stone
pointed spear and the bow and ar

An arrow may be called "httle
spear" A bow can send it much
farther than any man can hurl a
spear, and it can travel faster
through the air than q spear.
Among the beasts which Stone
Age men In Europe had to fight
was the "woolly rhinoceros." This
animal had a longer horn above
its nose than any living rhino, and
its body was covered with fur.

Theoretically, West should have
bid instead of passing the reopening
double; but he had "hunch" that
more points could be earned by a
penalty pass. AS it turned out, he
was never more correct in his life.
He opened the eight of spades,
dummy played the jack and East
won with the queen. On the dia-
mond return, South unfortunately
finessed, losing to Vests king, and
a diamond return allowed East to
ruff with the heart deuce.
East was now obliged to shift to
the club jack, holding the trick,
and a club continuation was won
by West with the ten. That worthy
led a second spade, dummy ducked
and East won with the ten. East
then laid down the spade ace, South
ruffed with the seven of hearts and
West over-ruffed with the eight
West then led another diamond
and East's lowly three of hearts
caught South's diamond ace. East
then led another spade, and South
made the mistake of ruffing with the
nine of hearts instead of discarding
a club. West over-ruffed with the
ten of hearts and cashed the club
ace, following with his remaining
club. Dummy ruffed and East over
ruffed with the six of hearts.
And now each player had two
cards, and East led the four of
hearts, putting South to the guess.
AS it happened, he guessed wrong,
playing the jack. West won with
the queen of hearts, and East took
the last trick with the ace. South
had failed to win a single trick
and was down 1000 points!

BUSINESS FORECASTS

The caution of business lead CTS in the first days of 1940 is interestingly noted for drug stor- yes in the following article by James Porter of the California Pharmaceutical Association re- ceived by Cappy McDougall of the Nome Drug Store:
 "The status of Pharmacy as 1 see it today IS not nearly so low as many people would paint the picture. It has been my priVil- ege to travel rather extensively in the western United States and visiting drug stores has quite na turally been one of my most con Sistent activities.
 In visiting stores over the coun try it is quite natural that many should be found which neither you nor I would be proud to own. On the other hand most of the boys are runnings places that are a credit to Pharmacy and to the community being served. It is easy to sense a spirit of service and pride of ownership not found in other kinds of business.
 It is ever an experience on en- tering a strange store in strange town 10 see how this store will reflect the individual in terest and character of the own CT. Drug stores offer the widest range of possibilities the imagina tion will permit and the most successful one are those in which the proprietor has allowed his in dividual ideas to expand. Indiv- idual ideas and experiences are things that chain stores and su- per markets can not produce. There seems always to be an ave nue for the development of vol ume if the store is sensitive to the demands of its customers.
 Druggists for the most part present the appearance of con servative individuals with an em phasis on personalized service that attracts business without an undue amount of high pressure promotion or advertising. In re- cent years however We have de- veloped a collective strength sec ond to none. This strength is demonstrated in the passage of our various Fair Trade Laws" and supporting national legisla- tion such as the national Fair Trades Enabling Act"
 The aforementioned laws have in their operation develop ed new problems. The continued success of pharu acy will be de termined by our foresight and

adaptability in meeting such in novations as narrowed margins resulting from the establishment of Fair Trade Minimums' with out a corresponding reduction in our wholesale prices. For many years we were protected in wholesale markets with uniform prices to all and the retail price was any mans game. Now under Fair Trade" just the opposite IS true. The retail market has been leveled off and competition between retailers is centering in the wholesale field. He who has the best connections survives and meets competition.
 Throughout the country there is an ever-increasing number of buying clubs mutualS and distrib uting units operating on a basis of cost plus overhead expenses. Operating costs of these units is held at minimum by the simple expedient of carrying in stock only the fast moving demand items. This is a problem the ser vie wholesaler must meet.
 The greatest difficulty faced to day by the average drug store op orator is that of maintaining his working capital in a sufficiently liquid condition that he may buy when and from whom he pleas es.
 I do not believe the picture is gloomy in any sense In the past ten years we have Weathered many storms and most of us are still here and doing business. We have learned to change our course more quickly than be- fore. We have become more sen sitive to our customers. We have greatly increased the strength of our State and National organ izations. And every day we are learning better the fine art of working together.
 Be it said to the credit of phar macy that without increased strength of organization we have consistently recognized that pro- gress and self betterment could only be accomplished by placing the interest of our consuming public first.
 Wit the public interest as our guiding star and an enthusiastic determination to live and help oth CTS to live pharmacy can look to the future with the expectancy of many good years to come.
