SEVEN YEARS OF HITLER

January 30th marked the seven
tn anniversary of Hitler's ascension
to power in Germany. The Brown
Shirted Nazis marched in triumph
their hour had come. The rest OF the
world, confident Germany still was
a beaten nation and harassed by
economic troubles, scarcely bothered
to take notice of the coming OF
new regime. Hitler was carelessly
dismissed as a radical REALLY con-
trolleed by the business leaders, "
and it was the fashion to say he
could last only few months. No
body knew or cared.
A glance back shows that Paris
paid little attention because of cab
met troubles that resulted in the
election of a young radical named
Edouard Daladier as premier. Lon
don regarded Hitler as an advent
urer, remembering the Beer Hall
Putsch in the early 1920's. The
United States Governmtnt had a
depression on it's hands, and could
not be bothered with an insignificant
nobody who had no chance to really
become a powerful figure.
Mein Kampf, published ten years
earlier, was considered the work of
a mailman, and most people doubted
If Hitler himself took it seriously
Hitler was admittedly a. master
"rabble rouser", but that was con-
sidered useful as tool for the
Influential" men OF Germany who,
it was thought, really gave the
Fuehrer his orders.
A few far-sighted students of
German affairs voiced their fears
that Hitler was more than comic
opera figure, but they were consider
ed the regular group of alarmists
that spring up at every major
change.
The arrival of Hitler's star caused
scarcely a ripple on the international
front. It's setting will rock the world.

CONGRESS INCLINED TO
STICK AROUND
By ]. E. Jones

Washington, D. c., July--The
Constitution of the United States
reposes all legislative powers in
Congress. This has usually been a
safeguard that protected democracy,
but with the very beginning OF the
New Deal the Congress began vot-
ing extraordinary powers to the
President, and this remarkable
transfer of authority has become a
habit within recent years. Under the
system Congress has appropriated
billions of dollars for certain pur-
poses and then authorized the
President to carry out, or revise
plans--and carry out programs &C
cording to his own Judgment. That's
what really constitutes the difference
between the Old Deal and the New
Deal, and it explains why sessions
of Congress in recent years have
been able to appropriate such
tremendous sums of money in about
half the time that it formerly took
to do a good job.
When Congress convened last
January there was a sort of under
standing with the President that
the members would get through in
May or June. Quite recently they
decided to recess over the Conven-
ton periods. Leaders in Congress
are still urging an early adjourn
ment, either this month or next.
Now comes the Public with rather
forceful objections against the
reckless way in which Congress
side-steps it's Constitutional author
tiles and duties. The Public has got
the best of the argument, inasmuch
as it is telling Washington that the
Walter-Logan Bill, designed to
protect citizens against the action
of agents of the Government, should
be passed.
The House of Representatives
passed this bill by a majority OF
more than to /, with more than
half the Democrats voting in favor
of it. So Mr.. and Mrs. @. Public are
telling, not asking, the Senate:
What are you going to do about
this; you know the House is right,
so get busy and make the Walter
Logan proposal into a law"
1t begins to look as though Con-
gress will stick around until the
Senate acts upon the bill.
The House also passed amend
ments to the National Labor Rela-
lions Act by vote Of to 1, and
more than half the Democrats voted
in favor of the changes, which were
endorsed by the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The Senate very
promptly proceeded to put the bill
in cold storage, in hopes that Sen
ators could avoid acting upon the
measure before election. Now 1t is
suggested that one reason why the
Congress is anxious to get out OF
the Capital is to side-step this meas
ure because of fears of the CLIO.
Protests are coming in from all
over the country against adjourn
ment. Congress is apt to decide to

BUSINESS MUST ADVERTISE

One vital activity in this country
that must be protected while the
whole Nation is arming and spend
ing for defense is advertising.
At the meeting of the Advertis-
ing Federation of America recently
held in Chicago leading business
men, publishers and advertising
agencies took this subject apart in
discussions which were led by Paul
Garrett, vice president of General
Motors; Paul HOLSTER, executive
vice president of the great Macy's
store in New York; Mason Britton
of the McGraw-Hill Company, and
others.
In the course of his remarks MI.
Garrett declared advertising to be
an essential implement that must
not be overlooked by large or small
business in planning for distribution
and sale of their goods and products.
He put his finger on a vital spot in
explaining how mass production has
been able to continue and multiply
its activities by depending on ad-
vertising. UNLESS we can strengthen
belief in institutions, soon there will
be no products" he said. "Advertis-
ing as the spokesman of modern
industry must set it's tempo at the
modern pace and we must hold to
the prime objective of service to the
consumer" he added. He insisted
that only in this way could free
enterprise and steady growth of the
American way of living be main
tanned.

PUTTING GRASS OR LEGUMES
IN SIIO

An increasing number of Mary
land dairyman are putting grass or
legumes in their silos because they
find this is good insurance against
dried-up pastures, loss in hay max
ing, and saves time when good crop
of hay might be lost because of UNI
favorable weather conditions, it is
stated by John A. Conover, special
list in dairying for the University of
Maryland Extension Service.
Mr.. Conover points out that a
silo can be filled in less time than a
hay NOW and silage will produce
better favored milk with higher
color. On many farms in Maryland,
where a soil conservation program
is needed, grass silage fits into the
program because it permits the
dairyman to keep more of his land
in grass. Grass silage has another
value in that it makes greater use
of the silo and, in the case of wood
silos, prevents them from drying
out and falling apart during the
summer. There is a saving in the
grain bill also because il some of
the legumes are ensiled there will
be less need for purchasing high
protein grain.
Legumes, cereals and grass can
all be ensiled successfully If the
work is done properly. A very green
rye, cut with a grain binder and
mixed with 81 pounds of molasses to
the ton of green feed, makes an
attractive, green-colored feed with
good acid flavor.
Mr.. Conover points out that as
this has been a good pasture year
thus far. there are number of past
ures that would be improved by clip
ping. This grass could be preserved

POPULATION ON EASTERN

Cecil County Shows
Increase Since
Last Census

The preliminary report of the
1910 census shows Cecil county
made an increase in population dur
ing the past ten years from 25,S27
to 26,357.
Although population declines were
recorded in four of the counties, the
Shores total is 194,993, as COM
pared with 1868 recorded in the
1880 census.
Wicomico's population climbed
from 1929 in 1880 to 34,433 this
year. This increase was brought
about mainly by population gain
of more than 1000 in Salisbury and
an accompanying increase in the
city's suburbs.
dorchester, Somerset, Gu e n
Anne, and Kent Counties showed
declines. Caroline and Talbot show
ed little change. Dorchester was the
only county besides Wicomico to
show gain of more than 1000.

A Doctors Belief

g ELF-DISCIPLINE is good for
- body and soul, in the opinion of
DR.. William Brady, widely recog-
nized medical columnist, who wrote
recently:
"When I was boy my mother
was an active, perhaps a militant
member of the w. c. T. U. and nat
urally I gave her solemn pledge
to abstain from alcohol and tobacco
until I grew up. Naturally, too,
kept that pledge. This country to-
day needs more mothers who ask
their children to give that pledge.
aside from the unquestioned
harm either tobacco or alcohol does
to children, and we are all children
until we attain mature development
the exercise in self-discipline
a child gets from keeping such a
pledge is good for the character and
good for the soul.
II hope the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union will continue to
inspire mothers and other women
who have charge of children, as long
as booze is available to youth"
Relief, or Beer, Money?
Ranking close to the laboring
man as one of beers best Gus
toners is the relief client, yet in
the face of this the government has
paid out over 10 billions of dollars
for relief-which to John @. Public
sometimes looks like pump printing
of the brewers financial wells.
When beer taxes show an increase
they represent an actual increased
waste of public wealth, as they are
of no constructive gain to industrial
income.
For every one million dollars paid
in beer taxes, the brewing industry
gets five million dollars from the
customer. Beers so-called benefits
are offset by the physical, mental
and moral havoc that the IS million
gallons of pure alcohol in the total
annual beer output creates or is
capable of creating in the lives of
beer patrons.

Hard Thinking May Lead

CINCINNATI, OHIO.-If you have

cause you've been too emotional or
have been thinking too hard.
DR.. Eugene B. Ferris and DR..
David I. Abrahamson have found,
after two years of research at the
May institute, Cincinnati Jewish hos
pital, that the flow of blood into the
forearms is controlled separately
from the hands.
They discovered that certain nerv.
Gus stimuli will diminish the flow of
blood to the hand, but not into the
forearm and similarly in the legs
and feet.
Hard thinking and emotional prob

arm, but generally cause a decrease
in the flow to the hands, the physi-
