GERMAN WRITER'S OF PAST
DAYS LAID GROUNDWORK
FOR HITLER

Long before Hitler appeared on
the horizon, the German people had
been stepped in a tradition that
they were a super-race and that war
was sublime calling. This has been
dinned at them by popular and i'm
portant German writer's since
Prussia rose to the position of an
important power.
Pure Hitlerism is the quotation
from Treitchke that ''the German is
hero born. He can hack and hew
his way through life" Again, Karl
Wagner preached many years ago
on a theme that Hitler has made
most familiar. 1.-THE efficient peo-
pies must secure themselves elbow
room by means of war, and the i'm
efficient must be hemmed in, driven
into reserves where they have no
room to grow, where they may crawl
slowly towards the peaceful death
of early and hopeless senility."
The ruthless methods of war as
employed by Hitler were certainly
forecast by Won Hartmann: Who
ever enters upon war will pay no
heed to any so-called International
Law. He will do we'll to act without
consideration and without scruple."
Small wonder that the German
people followed Hitler. The ground
work had been we'll laid by German
writers over period of years

BENEFIT CLAIMS

A new procedure for the handling
of interstate benefit claims has
been scheduled for adoption on Sep
TENDER /, by the Maryland Unem-
ployment Compensation Board. The
new plan provides for uniform ac-
ton and forms by all the States and
Is the result of recent conferences of
State Security Agencies.
In connection with the improved
procedure Maryland will recognize
interstate claims for partial unem-
ployment, which has not heretofore
been the practise. Interstate claims
are those presented by a worker
who, after earning a wage credit in
one State, moves into another while
unemployed. Heretofore Maryland
has recognized benefit claims coming
from other States, for total unem-
loyment only.
Attending the conferences were
representatives of the various adj
ministrative regions into which the
county has been divided by the
Social Security Board Maryland is
in Region Nv and was represented
by Director S. G. Cromwell, of the
Unemployment Compensation Divi-
sion, who also represented Region
VII, the two regions combined in
Guiding almost all the territory
south of the Mason G. Dixon line, the
Ohio River and east of the Missis-
sippi.
1t is expected that nearly all of
the States will adhere to the new
plan of procedure, but all do not,
like Maryland, pay benefits for par
tial unemployment.

DEFENSE STAMPS AT YOUR
RETAILERS

A number of the principal chain
store systems are now planning to
place Defense Savings Stamps on
sale in their stores. This is being
done at the request of Secretary
Morgenthau, who wrote to one chain
store association: 1--WE will indeed
welcome the type of cooperation
outlined. Knowing, as l do, the
group of retailers you represent,
feel they will render a great and
permanent service to the National
Defense Program.
These stores should prove one OF
the best possible outlets for the
stamps. The purpose of the stamp
sales is to secure money for defense
expenditures from a broad cross
section of. the public, rather than
from a relatively small number OF
large investors. And the chain
stores patrons are families of aver
age and moderate means. The
stamps sell for ten and twenty-five
cents, and the typical customer can
afford to purchase one or more
when doing his shopping. When a
sufficient number of stamps have
been accumulated, they may be ex-
changed for an interest-bearing de-
tense bond at banks and post offices
The stores are to be con
graduated on this new activity. Tens
of millions worth of defense stamps
and bonds must be sold weekly il
the defense effort is to be financed
on a sound basis. Keep that in mind
when you do your shopping--buy as
many stamps as you can afford
Every purchase you make helps tt
build you a financial cushion for thu
future.

GASOLINE DYNAMITE SAYS
COMMISSIONER

Calling the attention of the public
to the dangers of handling gasoline,
State Insurance Commissioner John
B. Centrum issued the following
statement:
"As result of the gasoline regu-
lations recently put into effect in
Maryland, many motorists are car
rying with them emergency supplies
of gasoline. The Insurance Depart
ment has prepared rules and regula-
tons for the safe handling of gas
oline, which will be issued shortly.
However, to very large extent mo-
florists and others must take the
proper precautions themselves to
avoid injury.
Gasoline is more dangerous than
dynamite, and it is said by petrol
cum engineers that while one gallon
of gasoline can propel an automobile
fifteen miles, that the same gallon
could send a careless individual into
the next world.
I'VE strongly urge that every
precaution be taken in handling gas
oline and only approved containers
be used.
Gasoline as a cleaning fluid is
extremely dangerous and its use as
a cleaning fluid frequently results
In burns and death; so for your own
sakes please be careful

TO WARD OFF WINTER FOOD
WORRIES

Here are some end-of-the-season
canning suggestions from the Nutri
Zionist of the State Department of
Health as to ways by which house,
keepers may help to solve their
three-meals-a-day problems, regard
less of rising food prices.
with food prices climbing, the
homemaker who has put up sup
ply of home canned fruits and
vegetables during the summer has
had large share of her food bud
getting problems solved for her.
by now, a great many housewiv-
es have already lined their shelves
with canned carrots, green peas,
string beans, lima beans and other
vegetables or fruits from their gar
dens. For those who have waited to
begin their canning program there
is still much canning material avail
able. Until late in September Mary
land gardens can be depended upon
for tomatoes, beans, corn, squash
and other vegetables; apples, peach
es, pears, grapes and other fruits,
for canning or preserving, all of
which have good nutritional values
or add variety to the family food
supply.
vegetables and fruits are sourc-
es of minerals and vitamins They
furnish body building and regulat-
ing material. Vegetables and fruits
are needed all the year round. The
daily vegetable requirement for
each individual is for two servings
of vegetables in addition to potato.
One of them should be green or
yellow vegetable to provide Vitamin
A, the vitamin which aids growth
and helps to develop resistance to
infection. Among fruits, tomatoes
are an important source of Vitamin
c, the scurvy preventive vitamin.
A dish of tomatoes and another
serving of fruit each day meet the
individuals fruit requirement.
''To fill these needs for the winter
months, the Maryland Extension
service estimates that the following
should be provided for each member
of hte family: Greens, four quarts;
tomatoes and tomato juice, a total
of twenty quarts; other vegetables
at least six to eight different kinds
total of thirty quarts; fruits (six--
eight kinds), twenty-five quarts;
dried fruits and vegetables, three
quarts.
For the total family needs, null
tiply the amount for one person by
the number in the family, and add
one extra portion for unexpected
company.
even the family with small gar
den can meet portion, at least, of
it's winter requirements by canning
regularly small amounts of extra
vegetables or fruits that are not
needed on the family table. BY put
ting up small quantities at time,
a very considerable amount can be
accumulated by the end of the sea-
son."

WHERE THE FARMER STANDS

Fred S. Sexauer, president of the
Dairymen's League Cooperative AS
ISOLATION of New York, recently
made this sane observation on the
agricultural price problem: prices
must now be fixed to give proper
and realistic recognition to costs.
In view of increased commodity
prices, increased costs of producing
milk and higher consumer purchas-
ing power, it is now necessary to es-
tablish sound price relationships in
the interest of the preservation of
agricultural assets and to support
the national credit structure.
The farmer isn't making unreas-
enable demands. According to offic-
ial government reports, the purchas-
ing power of factory workers is
now at record levels, and the incom-
es of these workers have increased
much more than the cost of living.
The farmer, on the other hand, is
getting little more for what he sells
Yet must pay greatly increased
wages to his help, and must pay
soaring prices for everything he
buys.
This situation cannot go on for
long if millions of farm families are
to be saved from disaster. The farm
er must have and is entitled to re-
turn that will meet his abnormal
costs of production.

Fire prevention is vitality import
ant at any time. In this period, when
we are attempting to turn all pos
sible national resources to defense
purposes, it's Importance is magni-
fed many times. Anyone can under
stand the menace of fire to defense
factories-one confagration could
delay vital production for months.
And it should also be understood
that the prevention of fire every
where is definite contribution to
defense. Materials and labor which
are needed to rebuild a home or a
barn or a place of business, cannot
be used for defense work. The more
fires we prevent, the fewer material
shortages we will have--and the fast
er the defense effort will go through
to successful consummation.
Many organizations, of which the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers. New York City, is the leader,
are doing everything conceivable to
fight and prevent fire. The National
Board, for instance, has given its
full services, without charge, to the
War and Navy departments, in order
to prevent fires in army camps, nav
al bases, etc. 1t is carrying on "a
hour-a-day work against arson and
sabotage. 1t lis intensifying its in
spection of communities and indus
tries. These activities are bearing
fine fruit. But they cannot achieve
maximum success without unlimited
