Adolf Schickelgruber. alias Hitler.
and his Jap rats win their way.
This warning goes especially for
politicians who insist that war
time manpower control is unwar-
ranted.
The Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute reports that employment is
at the highest level on record
more than $4,000. 900 persons
working: that unemployment is
at the lowest level since 1929
only 1925. 900; that the average
factory worker is paid more than
IS cents hourly-highest on rec
ord and 14.2 per cent above a year
ago: that per-man hour output is
lower than a year ago.
Moreover, that labor plus raw
material costs have increased 3s
per cent since the beginning OF
war: that prices OF manufactured
goods are up only 24.7 per cent
since the beginning of war; and,
that the freezing of prices and
wages at present levels will re-
strict profits for corporate ac-
tivity.
President Roosevelt revealed
last May that the monthly air
plane production rate was 1000
planes. The Aeronautical Cham
Der Of Commerce now reports that
aircraft production is near the s.
900 planes a month rate and will
increase substantially by the close
Of 1912. Total value of planes,
engines and propellers built this
year will exceed the merry tune
of $4,000. 600, 900!
Reich Marshal Hermann Goe-
ring. second in command to blood
drenched Adolf Schickelgruber,
alias Hitler, has some $4,000. 900 in
securities and funds on deposit
outside of Nazi Germany. says the
British Broadcasting System.

Get Burroughs
To Work Mines


tary Of War Robert p. Patterson
confirmed that 1000 experienced
miners. of copper and other vitality
needed metals are receiving army
furloughs to relieve a labor short
age in that category.
This was the first concrete ac-
ton taken by the army to release
men who were more sorely needed
in civilian war work.
President Roosevelt and Chief
Of Staff George c. Marshall said
in recent discussions that older
men who do not make effective
soldiers probably would be re-
leased from army service in the
future as more young men are
drafted.
Such releases would be for
the dual purpose Of taking
unfit men out Of the army and
providing more skilled man.
power for war Industries. In
the case of the miners. action
was taken solely because OF
the acute need for their sery-
Ices In the mines and not be-
cause of their age.
The release OF these men Is
designed to relieve a shortage OF
metal that endangers our wal
program" Patterson said. The
army sees no need at this time for
furloughing other troops in similar
manner. The job of our soldiers
is to fight, not to work in mines
mills or factories.
An exception is being made In
this case only because the striking
power of our army is at stake"

Knapp Courses
Streamlined
Speciol Closes
For Civil Service

Knapp college reports an I'M
precedented demand for people
who are trained to do steno-
graphic. secretsrial and account
ing work: the demand coming both
from government agencies and
from commercial and financial in
situations.
To meet this demand. the
schools courses have been
"stresm-lined" by elimination of
all but strictly essential subjects
and by intensification of the work.
All social and extra curriculsr
activities have been dropped for
the duration Of the war.
A special wartime civil service
course, especially organized to
meet the requirements of positions
with the L. s. government. il
proving to be very popular. This
course provides double the usual
classwork in shorthand and tipping
each day, thus making II possible
for students to prepare for steno-
graphic positions in one-half to
two-thirds the usual time.
In telling of the new alignment
