"HitleriSrn" A Religion
By STANLEY HIGH (From Readers Digest)

Claiming that the Nazis defy Hitler and have systematically ere ated religion that will serve their ends, Stanley High, writing in the current Readers Digest about Hit lers Ersatz Religion" says that 'it was essential that NaZism be made a religion, because only by the un- scrupulous abuse of the religious im- pulses of the German people could Hitler arouse that blind, frenzied, blood-letting devotion which was in- dispenSable for adventures so ruth less as his"
 This Nazi religion, the author points out in his article which Readers Digest condensed from The Living Age, has evolved its own creed, prayers, sacraments of con- firmation and marriage, and cere- monials of christening and burial and tits doctrines run violently counter to the sanctity of the home and of marriage"
 Much of MT Highs material in this article is drawn from authenti- cated documents in The PerSecu- tion of the Catholic Church in the Third Reich, soon to be published in the United States. He finds, for example, that the aim of marriage is the same as that of any other war industry; production of war mate. rial, The interpretation of the new marriage law frankly declares that the object of matrimony is the procreation of children for the state. Wherever this end is not achieved such a marriage is evil and is to be dissolved. This breed- ing program has become so impor- tant part of the Nazi doctrine, says MT. High, that in or out of wedlock, mo normal, civilized com punctions are allowed to interfere with it"
 The author believes that there must still be in Germany a vast congregation of pre-Hitler Germans who had a deep-seated regard for the decencieS and a solid religious faith which cannot have been wholly uprooted but, he says, the Nazis count upon the day when the younger generation, knowing no other godG and practicing no other morality, will have grown to ma turity.'

Early Tomato Wins Award With Its Heavy Yield

Early tomatoes arc 6 must crop for the defense garden because they prolong the season Of food produc- ton; but as e rule they do not bear heavily, so iate varieties are plant. cd for the canning crop.
 Now comes the Michigan State Agricultural college winning c bronze medal in the All America tests for ie4i with an early tomato which is Q heavy yielder. Its fruits average three inches tn diameter, smooth and red; the vine is short branching and foliage rather sparse. It may be planted closer to. sether than most varieties, which is another good point for small gar. dens. Its name is Victor.
 Tomatoes are one of the most i'm. portant food crops of the home gar. den. They are rich In vitamins A, B, c and D, have pr0teins 0.e per cent, fats O.A DOT cent, carbohydrates 3D per cent, and many of the valu. able minerals. Both red and yellow varieties are desirable.
 The first planting os tomatoes should Do made with plants which have been started indoors. Set them out only after danger of frost is eli. tireiy over. There is nothing to Do gained. by taking any risk of hav. ing them killed by a pelated frost.
 If your garden has . picket fence, iE will give the tomatoes ideal sup. ,crt and save lot of ground space.

 Tn two years, factory floor space and employment have been multi piled five times (l5,000 are on the payroll) and horsepower production has increased ten-fold.
