Reader Thankful for Obstacle
That Prevented Early Marriage

Writes in 70 Warn Distressed" Who Is Considering
Marrying Man Nearly Twice Her Age
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1941-03-19

about marrying MN, l mean.
Since I once was in a position
similar to hers, I thought I would
write. When was about her
age, I knew a man who was twice
as old as I. He wanted me TO
marry him, but he would have had
10 divorce his wife. 1 thought /
loved him but l would not listen
to his getting a divorce. II his
wife had wanted and gotten = di-
vorce herself, I probably would
have married him.
have always been thankful
that there was an obstacle to our
marriage.
Years ago when I saw him last
he was middle aged while was
young. ! am past 40 now but still
young in appearance and tastes,
while he is decidedly elderly, bald,
paunchy and certainly has no de-
sire to do many of the things men
nearer my age enjoy doing.
! later met and married a live
wire. young man. We have two
sons. The oldest boy and his IA
Their are often taken for brothers
rather than father and son. The
man I might have married would
be taken for a grandfather.
Distressed" does not realize the
difference in ages now, because
her friend is a young man even
though he is older than herself.
But 10 years from now will make
an awful difference.
! would not have had any step
daughters to complicate matters
because the man l knew had no
children.
! hope this letter will help her
to do some serious thinking. How
would she like to have her hus-
band be nearly go when she is only
40? Forty probably seems very
old to her now, If so how much
older so when she is 40
i thank my lucky star every
time I think of what / might have
done.

No Business With Hitler
(The New York TimeS)

(The New York Times)
 When a publisher advertises a book or an author hints that something he has written is very good indeed thinks it odd. When private citizens who don't know the author and have no connection with the publisher spend their own pri- vate money to advertise book people may wonder why. The book in this instance is You Can't Do Business with Hitler" the author, Douglas Miller, formerly American commercial attache in Berlin. The private citizens Raymond Capper, John Kieran, Albert D Lasker, Mrs. Dwight L. Morrow, Carl Van Doren, Matthew Woll and Wendell L. Wilkie
 The why of this paid public statement by seven private citizens is that MT. Miller has condensed into some 40-odd thousand words authoritative explanation of what nazism is what it has done in Germany, what it is doing and plans to do in Europe and what it cah do in this hemisphere if it is victorious elsewhere.
 We can't do business with Hitler because naz- ism makes pretense of keeping treaties; because it SO organized and its followers trained that it cannot make and keep peace; because its racial theories require that all nations outside of Germany shall be slave nations; because it does not scrupe to depopulate countries in order to control them; because if successful in Europe it will immediately inspire Nazi revolutions in Latin America to make that region hostile to us because it will then try to isolate us cheat sabotage industries, choke our trade, and either starve out dictate our economic, political and social life.
 This country will either see that Hitler is beaten or Hitler will see that this country is enslaved ruined. We hope people who loathe war and cherish national isolation will read the statement and the book. There will be plenty of war for if we let Hitler win in Europe, and there will be precious lit tie isolation if have to fight him this side of the Atlantic.

BRITISH NEED TANKS

Lack of tanks, it has now leaked out, is why the British have not been able to land an invading force on the European continent. Also it is why the British could not continue the offensive in Libya.
 The companies represented by the gentlemen seated around the tables of the Tank Committee have done an excellent job of producing tanks They are turning them out more quickly than the Army expected But even so, when they reach full production they will snly produce about 800 tanks month.
 At this rate, which will not be reached for another year, it will take two years to match the reserves ac- cunulated by Hitler.
 Therefore, the chief question fac ing the OPM and American industry is to spread out tank production among other factories: first, by let ting smaller firms make tank parts on sub contract; second, by draft ing a great many other factories now making farm machinery, automo- piles, etc, into the tank production program.
 Without drastic action, and with out curtailing the business as usual program in other industries, no real speed up of the tank program will be possible.

hold became interested in the fam ous Christie tank. The U. s. War Department at that time found Christie's tank too expensive; in fact, the only man who urged the Army to buy this fast-moving mod ern tank was Congressman Ross Collins of Mississippi, who has been far ahead of the generals in urging mechanization.
 R It was Ross Collins who encour- aged Bechhold to produce tanks in the United States and who paved the way for his association with Christie.
 Bechhold is no technician; one of his chief contributions to tank build ing has been important banking connections which raised the capital. However. one contribution he made to tanks cannot be Overemphasized. He conceived the idea of towering with airplane motors.
 The Diesel engine or ordinary gasoline motor took so much space and was so heavy when built for sufficient power, that it begged down the tank. So Bechhold thought of the relatively simple, but at that time revolutionary idea of using a lightweight airplane motor.
 Bechholds' Armored Tank Cor poration now has the biggest slice of British tank orders in this coun- try. The Russians also are dicker- ing with him. And today British and American experts. who once scored his theory that tank could be carried by air. have now seen what happened in Crete and have even come around to Bechhold's s ideas on that. .a

JUNEAU PROGRESS

If any of the old-timers around Juneau may have had a question about the growth of the city during the past year. they had an answer from the property owners side of the ledger last week
 city can't be in much of slump when the assessed valuation of real and personal property is on the up grade. City tax rolls reveal that the sessed value of property in Juneau has increased s13O65O during the past year It rose from $7252745 a year ago to s7383,395 this year.
 And the people in city can't be getting poorer when they can afford to buy new cars The assessed value of automobiles in the city increased $24100 during the past year. rising from sl95125 year ago to s219225 this year.
 That increase in automobile value more from the purchase of new cars than from any in- crease in the number of in the city Mayor Harry l. Lucas declared after looking the tax rolls.
 Anyway, that meant total tax valuation on the citys books of $7602620 against $7447870 last or an increase in assessed values of $154,750 That also meant that the city council, acting tax rate fixing body, could lower the rate half-mill, to TIA mills, compared to levy of Is mills year ago So the increase in property values of pocketbook significance to taxpayers
 But the word that the property value has climbed means than just the fact that the city can de- rive as much revenue from assessing 17 mill levy against property owners as 1t could by an l8-mill levy year ago.
 That assessment book testimony serves to belle a lot of idle talk often heard around Juneau to the effect that the capital city is progressing neau residents have been looking at the tremendous growth of population in defense bases and have been too prone sometimes to use these mushroom develop ments where the army or navy has taken hold basis for comparison with their home town.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, AUGUST 12

IOEODA AOoOOl lG
 Conflicting planetary aspects rule today. In the morning there is q promising sign for publishing of every sort, also for banks and bank ing. Mars is in threatening sway. HEART AND HOME: Thrift, so long recommended by astrologers, will become a watchWord under the inspiration of the Federal Govern ment as defense bonds are offered. The will to win will be manifested by young and old who will study how to make the most helpful sac rifices. Warning is given, however, against foolish restrictions in the use of gasoline or other commodi- ties. The seers point out that even in war charity begins at home and that domestic supplies should be kept up to the best possible stan- dardS. fg BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Gradually the immensity of the resources of the United States will be revealed in the magnitude of defense efforts. Even those who have gained wealth will find reason for surprise as the varied riches of the nation are mobilized for preparedness and pro lection. Prosperity will continue to add to national optimism and de- spite training for war and even participation in the world conflict there will be general cheerfaIifess and happiness. ,o
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Coordina- ton and cooperation of states. will be accomplished rapidly so that there will be organized prepared ness which wastes neither time nor money Unity of thought and &C., tion will become more apparent as the Spirit of '76 awakens and in spires persons of all classes and all political affiliations, except those who support Communism. The fact that dangers are real will be emphasized by grave offenses against neutrality by the Axis pow CTS who will resort to every pos sible method of treachery and mis- representation, as the stars seem to show.
 INTERNATIONAL A F. R s :. Foreign astrologers prophecy that the Saturn Uranus conjunction of May, 1942, will bring the revela- tion of the whole Axis plan to subjugate the United States. Parts of the scheme which includes the economic encirclement of the. na- tion long have been known, but the extent of the ambitious ideal will not be fully apprehended, owing to the thoroughness and the secrecy that mark the Nazi system of wag- ing war. Warning again is given that surprise moves may cause tenn porary reyerses for the allies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ex- treme activity which brings success and happiness. Many unusual op- portunities are indicated for both men and women.
 Children born on this day may be intense in nature. Great energy
 mental and physical, should enable them to reach success or even fame

FED UP WITH MILITARIsM

Bechhold was sixteen when draft ed into the German army in 1916, saw desultory service for which he had no enthusiasm whatever, and like thousands of other German boys, got thoroughly fed up with the German military system. So in 1922, having saved up enough money for transatlantic passage. he came to America.
 < Landing in New York with $40 in his pocket, he got job wrapping packages at $l4 week. Jobs were easy to get in those days" Bechhold says. And studying English at night he soon got to be a clerk in an ex- port firm at $16 a week, remained with the same company four years until he was drawing a salesman's salary of $70 a week.
 By that time he had saved enough money to go to Europe to set mp agencies for the sale of technical equipment. This proved so success full that he spent part of his time in the United States, part in Europe for the next few years.
 One of the things which impressed Bechhold during his visits was the manner in which one part of Europe was arming and the other part was blissfully somnolent. Alarmed at this, he established contacts at the State Department and over a period of several years, sent in detailed reports on German rearmament. One of these reports predicted the Nazi Anschluss between Austria and Germany IS months before it hap pened.
