The guessing fraternity, In this
country and probably in others has
been puzzled all along to account
for Berlins policy in favor of
pitching into the Soviet outfit with
its forces so considerably engaged
elsewhere. Nobody's imagined that
the mere existence Of a friendly
pact between himself and Joe
Stain would have served TO deter
Adolf from opening fire on his
.Muscovite neighbors whenever he
deemed il, from his standpoint,
good time TO do so. Plenty of OBJ
servers. however, have wondered
why he thought the time ripe when
he actually did it. He was pretty
busy already elsewhere. Why didn't

theory hardly holds water, though.

By Logan Clendening. NJ. D.

Last year / had a number OF let
tiers from ex-players, even ex-

Saying that they would never let
their sons play football.

have, as you know, been a doctor
for a good many years, and have
been trying TO live down the past

health for many years. That is
to mention injuries to my
that caused me many sleep

Serious Injuries
AT one time made study OF
football players engaged in a big
game, and found that all Of the
high school students who played
through the game had blood cells
in the urine. This may have been
psychological, but if often repeat
ed can not help being serious.
within the past four years /
have had three cases Of ruptured
kidney referred to me, all results
of a football injury. Two of the
cases were high school boys. In
both cases it was necessary to re-
move the kidney to save life.

to everyone but the player"

for q cool, refreshing nights Sleep!

If YOU think that a bedroom as cool as
a sleeping porch is luxury and far
too expensive for your means - you
haven't heard about the new method
of house-cooling hundreds OF your
neighbors are now using cooling
by means of an ATTIC FAN
Whats the point of cooling an
attic?" you ask. We don't sleep up
there"
Here is the reason. When your house
soaks up heat all day, the attic becomes
a bake-oven-with temperatures often
reaching 1870 degrees. Then at night,
this blanket of heat hangs immovable
overhead, making the rooms below
sitting and unbearable. Sleep is often
impossible until the early hours of the
morning. If there were some way to
bloW st1ay this heat - to get the cool
night air indoors - the house would
cool off rapidly. This is exactly what
an attic fan does. Prices range from
$50 and up Installation extra.
After shutdown, open all your win
dows and snap the convenient switch
of the fan. Instantly its large, power
full blades start to sweep away the
oppressive heat in the attic and pull
off the warm air in the rooms below.
A food of cool night air is drawn in
through the windows and circulated
through the house. The temperature
drops as much as 7 to IA degrees
depending on outdoor temperatures)
making your rooms comfortable. Cost
of operation is only about 11c an hour.
Department stores, electrical dealers,
and fan dealers will gladly give you
full information about this low-oost
method of house cooling. Stop in or
telephone today. The Detroit Edison
Company. I'VE do not sell or install
this equipment)

Dozens of American flags of all

Monday as Imperial Valley paid
tribute to the symbol of liberty IN
solemn ceremonies in stadium park

Ranging from the Is foot by 30
foot flag which went through the

the flag display was one OF the
most impressive ever seen in the

colors of IA veterans organizations,
the flags constituted constant rip
pie of red, white and blue.

MOSCOW OPENS UP -
The strict Soviet censorship was
looSened today to the extent that
Henry Shapiro, United Press staff
correspondent, in Moscow, was per-
mitted to cable fairly detailed
dispatch bearing on Russo-G German
relations. Shapiro's dispatch was
the first report from Moscow on
the touchy subject which was not
based almost exclusively on an Of
ficial communique. -
The dispatch emphasized Russia's
concentration on defense and pre-
paredness measures.
These defensive preparations OBJ
viously we're of the type designed
to meet any threat of German at
tack. The emphasis was on measures

that the Germans had been forced

no change in relationship was ex-
