When Bill Hills
Stopped the Kodiak Bear

Cronies of the late William A.
Hills, who was buried in Libby last
week, love TO tell of his great
ability as a crack snot and of his
many exploits. One of their favor
tie narratives relates that on one
occasion, Hills was employed by a
photographer who went to Kokiak
Island, Alaska, for some shots of
the monstrous Kodiak bear. In the
drama, Bill was to play the part of
the huntsman, and the cameraman
began to grind away one day while
the hunter" began to shoot at one
of the brutes. The shooting con-
tinued. and the grinding went on
and the bear kept coming-and
coming, finally topping over in
front of the camera tripod
The cameraman was ecstatic at the
success of the hunt, and beamed
at Hills, Wonderful, wonderful,
couldn't have been better. How
did you do it?"
Why. you - -, said Hills,
I've been trying to stop that =
- for the last 1900 feet!"

Dies Attacks Petitions
OF Maryland Communists
BY the Associated Press.

by the hSSoC!ateo elesS.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, Sept. 2S.-
Further claims that the nominat-
ing petitions of the Communist
party in Maryland disclosed evi-
dence of fraud and misrepresenta-
ton" were filed today with Secre-
tary of State Francis Petrott.
A letter from Robert E. STRIPPING,
Secretary Of the Dies Committee
advised Mr.. Petrott the committees
Investigations indicated more than
30Os signatures on the nominating
petitions were questionable under
Maryland law.
Since the petition bore 1900
names. with minimum of 1000
required to place Communist can
didates on the ballot, Mr.. Stripping
said the Dies Committee had in
structed him to bring these facts
to your attention"
Six persons are awaiting trial in
Baltimore on grand jury charges
of perjury in connection with the
Communist petitions. Mr. Petrott
has refused to certify the party's
candidates until the case has been
settled,

Monument Is Piped
For Installation Of -
Steam Heat
Job Is Expected
To Be Completed
About Dec. ]
The Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument,
which for some S. years has opened
its doors to a million visitors an
venience-Steam heat.
The work Is being done, accord
ing to Federal Works Agency ON
clals, who let the contract, because
moisture inside the shaft is causing
deterioration at great rate. The
heat also Is for the comfort of
guards and visitors.
Money for the work is from Pub
lie Works funds left over from an
appropriation for the extension Of
heating in public buildings. The
funds will take care of heating units
only for 100 feet up the 555-foot
structure, but the heat is expected
to spread up the shaft
Summer and winter, a finger
pressed against the interior marble
blocks will come away moist. The
guardroom beneath the monument
is said to drip water from the CELL
ing during the summer and in win
ter only small electric heaters have
warmed the room.
The work. started about four
weeks ago, will be completed about
December !. A tunnel 6 feet deep
already has been constructed from
the Treasury for inflow and return
pipes which will carry steam from a
hookup at that point A reducing
plant will be built underground at
the Monument base to decrease
steam pressure from 200 pounds to
about IS pounds, which will feed
heating units at each landing up to
100 feet. A 12-inch conduit will
bring the steam in and smaller line
will return the water to the central
heating plant.
Specifications require that the
work be done in hours not affecting
the routine of visitors. The Monu-
ment will be open to visitors, there
fore, during the entire procedure.

The Draft and You
Questions and Answers on Legislation
Providing for SeIective Military Service

smight marry to avoid the draft
land incidentally the women in such
an instance would be liable to GRIM
inal prosecution for aiding and
abetting" draft evaSion)
Other borderline instances were
found among husbands whose mari
tai status was hazy, or who failed
to support families.
Generally, there will be no need
for a wife to resign from her job SO
that she can be classed as a de-
pendent. The purpose of the draft
act was to accumulate a trained re-
serve of men who would be able to
leave for camps in an emergency
without asking to be excused be-
cause he had family or dependents,
and therefore the boards should
prefer to select men who are unen-
numbered by family or dependents.
This can be easily accomplished
because Of the small quotas as
signed to communities for conscripts.
In the District of Columbia, with
population of $4,000, the quota
for the first year probably will be
less than 1,700 men who will serve
for one year. 1t is expected that
68,038 men will register of whom
22.679 will be in class available
for immediate duty.
Thus, it can be seen that there
will be sufficient men available from
whom to select conscriptS without
the necessity of disrupting to any
large extent the life of citizens.
Nor will it be necessary for men
to refrain from marriage. Depend
ency will be recognized for men who
marry Immediately before registra-
ton day or at any time during the
five-year life of the act. But men
who marry should be able to con-
vince their local boards the act of
marriage was not an attempt to
evade the draft.
Even during the World War, Dis
trict of Columbia draft boards were
lenient toward married men and
those with other dependents. OF the
1888 married men who registered,
time the object of the draft was to
get men as quickly and as many as
possible In 1910, the draft object
is to get 100000 conscripts from the
entire Nation each year, and the
probability is that all who reach
the age of 81 after registration day
will be required to register next
year Compare this figure to the
nearly 100000 men drafted in
Is months of 1917 and 1918.
All that has been said about mar
ried men applies equally to single
men who are supporting entirely or
in reasonable manner depend
ents. If a man is supporting a
father. mother or other relative lin
reasonable manner" those depend
ents will not be deprived of support.
Local boards will have the final
decision to make in each case as
to who can be considered to have
dependents. but their judgment will
be impartial and lenient to prevent
large scale suffering. In event of
war. their classiflcations naturally
would be more severe, and no classi-
fication of a registrant is perma-
nent, for the board may investigate
the status of registrant and decide
to call him should the need arise fol
large numbers of conscripts immedi-
ately.

And this district leader. over whom
you have no control, who was ap-
pointed from on high and without
consulting your wishes. can be re-
moved from office only by the Nal
party.
Every young German is given a
chance to express a preference in
jobs when he begins his career as a
worker. The rub is If he wants to
be a musician and there are too
many musicians and not enough
slaughter house laborers, he be-
comes a slaughter house laborer.
That is where he is sent by law.
But even then he is given a choice.
He can accept or starve.
Needs Of State Come First.
According to Foreign Affairs mag
azine. Armies of workers are trans
ported from one part of the country
to the other like prisoners of war"
The moves. deciding your fate for
the rest of your life. are based on
the needs Of the Nazi state and not
on your needs or your family's
needs. to say nothing of your hopes
or your family's hopes.
Even owners or heads of busi-
nesses are not immune to this kind
of regimentation in its ugliest form
Several book publishers have been
forced to sell out their businesses
and forced to buy farms because
there were too many publishers.
Shopkeepers. too, have been told to
liquidate and told what to do with
the money that is left where there
have been too many shops in a
town. The decision as to who will
liquidate and who will remain in
what business is made by the Nazi
party.
Colour Work Week.
The union. being powerless to do
anything but collect dues, cannot
protect your working hours or wages.
AT the beginning, 48 hours was made
the normal work week by the state.
Now it is 60 hours. Wages are fixed
by the state. One OF the avowed
objects of the Nazis is to make
wages in private industry so low
that workers cannot be lured from
government positions
Your wages will not be your own.
Besides the regular union dues and
government taxes, which dig deep
into the lowest incomes, there are
contribution" of all kinds. II you
neglect to contribute you are re-
garded as unpatriotic, and only pa
triots are allowed to live. even if life
under the NaZis is form of slavery
Nazidom's workers are not
branded, like slaves of old, or
chained. Instead they must carry
what is called a labor passport at
all times. The passport is your rec
ord from the time you were 10. 1t
describes your training. the level of
your skill and, sinisterly, lists your
disobediences to the party. The
government retains duplicate and
checks it frequently.
Untradeable Dignity"
In "Mein Kampf," Hitler says:
The emphasis is not on the money,
but on the beauty and dignity of the
labor. and on the satisfaction in
helping to build state" However,
the Nazis have not yet invented a
way in which the man who feels
like a million dollars at having
worked over bomb for export to
England can trade this emotion in
at butchers.
The Nazis are not afraid that a
time will come when they will not
be able to employ all their slaves.
In their own words: There will al
ways be a market for arms. Wars
are natural to man

Will married men or single men
with dependents be drafted?
Men who can prove beyond a
doubt that they have dependents to-
tally supported by them will obtain
deferment. Each local draft board
will judge and decide for itself the
status of registrants.
The Conscription Act defined the
term dependent" as applying only
to an individual who is dependent
in fact on such person for support in
reasonable maner, and whose sup
port in such manner depends on
income earned by such persons in
a business, occupation, or employ
ment."
NANll wiz al living Will oup-
porting wives are assured of de-
ferment, unless their income comes
from investments, inheritance, or
other sources and is adequate to
support dependents without the
need of earned income.
Undoubtedly, the knottiest prob
lem which will face the boards will
be in judging dependency of men
whose wives are self-supporting and
have no children.
The general policy will be to re-
frain from breaking up homes. The
boards will take into consideration
the effect upon the standard of liv-
ing of self-supporting wife if her
husbands income should be cut off
because he is drafted. AS far as
possible, it will be the aim to cause
the least possible distress or lower
ing of living standards among fam
lilies of married men or single men
with dependents.
1t Is not necessary that the sup
port be total Thus. if a man and
his wife rent or own a house or
apartment, the boards will take into
consideration whether the income of
either one is SUFFICIENT to maintain
their home. If the wife's salary
alone would force her to move to
cheaper quarters and generally
lower her standard of living, the
local board probably would decide to
defer military training for the hus-
band.
Early regulations on the draft
which were drawn up by the Army
and Navy Selective Service Board
provided that husband was pre-
Sumed to have a dependent if he
was living with his wife, even if she
was employed. This was reconSid-
cred and changed to permit the
boards wider latitude in Judging
dependency. simply because so many
| borderline cases were found The
boards in smaller communities were
supposed to be acquainted with resi-
dents and therefore be better able
to judge dependency.
One borderline case was where a
husband might be living in a hotel
room and seeing his working wife
infrequently, although ostensibly
they maintained a common resi-
dence. Another was where a man

Just as there never have been un-
employed slaves. so there is no un-
employment under a totalitarian
government.
If you work for wages, you must
join union. Only one is allowed
in the nation. The NaZis call theirs
the German Labor Front" If you
don't join, you can't get job.
The Nazi party appoints all union
leaders, down to the least important.
There are no elections The temp
tation is to give out district leader
ships to political hacks as a reward
for Nazi party work and there is no
curb on the temptation The Nazis
have not proved strong enough to
resist 1t.
No Strikes Allowed.
As worker. you will pay dues to
the union. What becomes of the
money will not be made clear to you.
The union, as union. is powerless
TO improve your working conditions.
Strikes are forbidden by law You
yourself are powerless to improve
your working conditions. You cam
not change your job without the
consent of your district leader. You
can't be either nired or fired without
the consent of the district leader.
