who has so much power that he
can indulge himself anything, but
actually they are part OF HltlerS
conception of himself in life and
death as sort of new dellVerer,
whose mystic influence shall go
down through the ages. No detail Is
too small for Hitler to think OF,
and nothing is too large, not even
the war that engulfs us now.
Whether in the role of war lord
or comforter of bereaved German
mothers, Hitler is always aware OF
himself. thinks of himself pictor-
iallv. This doesn't mean that he
is simply acting, but rather that
he relates himself to his surround
ings. and even to history. as some
thing phenomenal symbolic. Thus,
though he is vain. his vanity has a
quality Of almost cosmic grandeur.
ESSENTIAL FACTS
It is difficult to present an ac-
curate picture of Hitler as a man;
difficult to avoid the easy sensa-
ticnalisms of his bitter emotional
TRADES. his youthful shyness to-
ward women. his middle-aged life
with a jealous mistress who twice
attempted suicide, his occasional
enthusiaSmS for nude reyels and his
belief that the superman OF the
future will have a hairless body.
These facets of his character are
essential to an understanding OF
Hitler. but only historians can fit
them into the completed picture.
1 spent a dozen years studying
Hitler at close range, collecting ma
terial about him from sources that
knew were unquestionable, and
smuggling my notes out of Germany
at considerable risk to myself and
to others. 1t seemed to me that
this man, IN all his dangerous bril-
lance, could be measured better al
most by his little vanities and hab-
its than by the way l mad so often
seen him in public, receiving an
ovation from millions.

Hitler probably more than any
other correspondent in Germany,
and I know that he is an incredibly
complicated human being. Quite

THEY DESERVE PROTECTION
tChristian Science Monitor)

tChristian Science Monitor)
Recently several associations interest
ed in child welfare in the United States
have advanced the major theme at their
annual conventions that younger children
must not be war casualty. Psycholo-
gists, psychiatrists, and educational au
thorities have emphasized three points
for home and school which are common
sense foundation stones for as near a
normal childhood as can be expected in
this era when the type of civilization we
shall have for generations is swaying on
the scales:
First, both parents and teachers must
not neglect the ildren because of outside
pressures. The many essential and vital
activities-whether of parents as AFRAID
wardens or Of teachers in gasoline ration
ing-must be organized so children will
not suffer.
Second, adults can control their talk in
the presence of immature, emotional
minds. Loose talk is reprehensible any
where; particularly injurious it is to eX-
cite needlessly dread and fear in the
minds of the very young.
Third, even with young children adults
can use the situation to motivate patriot
ism and a desire to uphold justice and
humanity.
The toe-heads and the curly-heads, in
dropping knickers or in pinafores, are not

INCREASED DELINQUENCY
SAFEGUARDS

(MarySville Appeal-Democrat)
Juvenile delinquency is one of the more
important problems in these abnormal
times. The latest report, from San Fran
cisco, says girls delinquency has increas
ed at IAN alarming rate" since the United
States entered the war and that social
disease and pregnancy cases among
school girls have more than doubled.
This report is in line with experience
in other American cities and in England.
One cause undoubtedly is the concentra-
ton of thousands of men into military
camps, cut loose from family ties and
normal restraints This is no reflection
upon soldiers, as such. The army is a
cross section of men from every walk in
life, including the good and the bad,
whose manner of living has been abrupt
ly changed War itself, from its very
nature tends to lower moral standards.
one of the penalties a nation pays, even
when its own cause is righteous.
The San Francisco judge who reports
on conditions there advises closer polio
ing in the vicinity of schools. Police
work, however, is only one phase of pro-
lection and probably the least effective.
The greater need is for increased interest
by adults in the youth organizations
whose purpose it is to build character
among those of tender years by supply
ing helpful influences and healthy diver

CHUNGKING, June Sup -
Japan pressed five major offensives
in China today in spreading cam
paign to- liquidate the Chinese in

the japanese islands.

When the shaft was completed,
Hitler decided that he must make
the first trip in the elevator TO
the top. All was arranged as the
smiling, self-satisfied Fuehrer Or
dered Hitler entered the elevator,
which is large enough to accom-
modate an automobile, and started
upward. But something went wrong
and the elevator stuck midway up
the shaft. For four hours the fur
iouS Fuehrer sat there, q prisoner
in the middle of the mountain rock,
until experts were able to locate
small technical difficulty and COM
plete the journey.
An intense secret police investi-
gaticn was ordered and all exits
were barred to workers and otherS
but nothing was ever found to ind
cate that Hitlers vanity had been
sabotaged by anything more dang
erous than a blown fuse plug.
Hitler political testament is
locked away in one of the great
safety chambers of the Kehlstei0
with state papers of particular i'm
portance and the secret records of
the Nazi party, his testament makes
these amazing provisions:
|. If Hitler dies .as a civilian, he
shall be buried in this towering
stone monument, like a hideaway
of the Gods, over Berchtesgaden.
2. If Hitler dies as a soldier
(Which would presumably mean
failure of his military conquesD
then he shall be buried on the field
of battle.
This might suggest some plan to
find death in a suicidal form on
the field of battle when Hitler's
doom catches up with him, but it
is not likely that such a thought
prompted him at the time the testa-
ment was drawn up.
The Kehlstein is equipped with a
powerful radio tranSmitter and re-
ceiver Thirty feet above the lower
entrance to the shaft at spaced
intervals are dynamite chambers
for blowing up the elevator and the
strong rooms where the important
documents including Hitlers
paintings and SketcheS-are kept.

RULES UNCHANGED FOR
THOSE WHO GRADUATE

The young men and women who have
finished their schooling may have the feel
ing these days that theirs is difficult
situation-that uncertainty makes 1t I'M
possible for them to plan their lives as
they might wish. If they have this feel
ing now, they will have it all of their
lives. If it is not war, it will be some
thing else to interrupt their planning.
1t is true that today's job may not be
tomorrows job. 1t is true that military
service and war work may take the young
peoples attention for two years, three
years, or four years.
That is not long time out of the so or
60 years ahead. Yet neither should it be
wasted There is no reason for wasting
it. The pursuits of wartime dovetail
surprisingly with those of peacetime. In
wartime, it is possible to do the kind OF
work which will be preparation for the
work of peacetime A boy who wants to
be mechanic can be mechanic now as
we'll as later. If he wants to design air
planes, or work in radio-no matter what
he wants to do-he can find place even
in the armed services which will prepare
him for his later work.
Not even war can stop enterprise.

of his plans to trace the worlds

That pattern includes a shrewd
carefully executed scheme to per-
petuate the name and face and

generations to come. That is why

WASHINGTON RUBBER

If you have difficulty in under
standing the chemistry lesson in all
this synthetic rubber talk, you're
normal. over simplifying, the pro-
cess goes something like this: Basic
material is ethyl alcohol, which can
be made from starch grains or sug-
ar, or synthetically from ethlyene
gas, a petroleum by-product. In the
case of sugar, yeast is added to
dilute solutions, torment sets up,
and the resulting mash is distilled
to produce alcohol. The alcohol is
converted into butadiene, which is
gas that can also be obtained
from petroleum. Butadiene has the
property of polymerization, which
means that on molecule can be
built on another until you form a
solid. When styrene, a substance
which can be obtained either from
coal or petroleum products, is intro
duced with butadiene, the two sub
stances condense or polymerize TO
form rubber. Simple, isn't 1t?

MORE WORK FOR PRIVATE
MEDICINE

Americans can we'll be thankful for
the fact that we hovedmore doctors per
thousand Of population than any other
notion-ond that these doctors have
been given education ord training Of
on unsurpassed quality.
At the present time, some Il 900
doctors are in the military forces. BY
the end of the year, 10000 more will
be called. Thot, according to Medical
Economics, will automatically shift the
responsibility for at least 9 900, 900 Po-
tentio patients onto the shoulders Of
practitioners who remain at home. That
means an average Of some sc extra po-
tentoI patients per private DOCTOR And
this will be further increased in the
years to come, as still more physicians
ore called to active mlitory duty.
Those doctors who stay in private
practice will have to work harder. They
will have to make even more efficient
use Of their time than at present. Fort
unoteIy for the health Of the people, the
superb post record Of American medi-
cine indicates that the doctors will fully
live up to the vast responsibility that
war has thrust upon them. American
medicine, at all times is eeored to
emergency conditions. 1t is ready for O
