how Hitler was running the Jews

There was no column last week
because no records were received.
But you'll get information on the
latest biscuits whenever there are
enough on hand to warrant such.
Columbia, which has never been
any too cooperative with review
ers, has banned review DRESSINGS
since the WPB order but the other
companies ae going right ahead,
although at a reduced tempo.
They're not issuing so many, but
you're going to find the quality
improved.
This week the Victor album, i.
"Strictly from Dixie" gets top
attention. You've probably heard
that radio program called 1.-THE
Chamber Music Society of Lower
Basin Street" and therefore you
know about Henry Levine and Lin
da keene who produce the 1--WE in
this collection. The eight num-
bers are STRICTLY FROM DIX
If, Enforceable You, Georgia On
My Mind, Way Down Yonder in
New Orleans, Somebody Loves Me
Shine, Someone TO Watch over
Me and Mound Bayou.
Naturally, this is two beat
Dixieland jazz with tailgate trom-
bone and weaving clarinet, al
though one or two Of the perfor-
mances seem toI have stopped over
in the north. The only two sides
without vocals are the title tune
and "Shine", and these get in a
solid white N'Orleans groove. The
other six faces have Miss Keene
singing, with the number, "Some
one to Watch over Me- being en-
tirely devoid of any feeling of
swing. The only tune ON which
Linda and the band both arc hot
is down Yonder in New Or
leans"
Best of the Levine boys seems
to- he the trumpet player. He
blows a really fine horn. Trom-
bone is worth hearing, particular
ly behind some of Linda's vocals,
but the piano seems a bit on the
intellectual side. As for Miss
Keene, she's a good singer but on
Mound Bayou" she's neither so
intense nor 50 blue as is Helen
Humes on her current Decca of
the same name. However, the
collection is definitely above the
average.
Single Stuff
Fats Waller brings in his full
band to produce the Bluebird of
1--WE need A Little Love and Jit-
terh1g Waltz. Neither side is hot
for on the first he's rather sweet
and slow in both his piano sclo
and straight vocal, and as for the
second I've never yet heard any
body swing in three quarter time.
But the Jitterbug Waltz will hold
attention as an oddity. Fats plays
organ and the boys then do NIGEL
ly, hitting hot rhythmic ticks.
A lot Of people like Jan CARRIER.
Back in 1885 when he played for
an Omega cabaret dance at Chi
cago's Savoy ballroom, several
thousand Dusky-mericans iammed

leased by the new Elite company

Fire Bomb Described

The most effective means of combating incendiary bombs are gwen in Civilian Defense bullet ins prepared by national defense authorities.
 Briefly, incendiary bombs serve twemajor purposes. First, objec- tives are made visible to raiding aircraft, thus minimizing the eff fectiveness of blackouts. Second, sweeping conhagation, more de- wasting than tons of explosives. may result from the fires. An ex- posive bomb can cause great damage, but it is localized.
 The worst factors which con- tribute to the spread of fire aTe wooden roofs, failure of wa ter pressure and fracture of wa ter mains. In the cold of Alaska, the spread is especially danger ous because of difficulties of fight ing fire n such weather.
 Fire bombs are ordinarily not dropped singly, but in lots of 10 or 20 in containers. It is possible to drop contents of more than one container at a time. A single plane can carry from 1000 to 2000 ire bombs, but the number of fires resulting may be only 75.
 Fire bombs make use of their thick-walled magnesium shells to spread the fire. The shell IS about nine inches in length and tive inches in diameter and weighs little over pounds. Jets of flame emit from vent-holes in the shell, and bits of molten magnesium are forced through l the holes and scatter in every ] direction for a distance of about | 90 feet. Fire bombs can be extinguish- cd with a fine spray of water, or by covering " tn sand. Water fhroEn on the bombs cause then tS explode. and such tactics Should never be used. Bombs or dinarhy burn themselves out inI three minutes, but in that time cdn ignite anything their flames contact.

KANSAS CITY. Kans., Sept 25.--
DR.. Michael Bernreiter, instructor
at the University of Kansas School
Of Medicine, once threw 32-ounce
beer stein at Adolf Hitler-and
missed.
Next week he'll Join the Army
Medical Corps as a captain, still
seeking chance to destroy the

In the first World War he fought
three and half years with the
German Army, he recalled, seeing
action a. Verdun, Ypres, Somme and
many other battlefields.
And in 1922 as a medical student
he sat in Munich beer hall listening
to political speaker named Hitler.
The speech started a riot. into the
midst Of which DR.. Bernreiter threw
his heavy stein.
Apparently he sighed, "it missed
