Books Here
On May 10th

An exhibit of books banned by
the Nazis will open at the Main
Library on May 10. This exhibit has
been arranged in observance of
the tenth anniversary of the Burn
ing OF the Books in Germany.
Among the world renowned au-
thors who irritated the Nazi goose
step meptality1were Spinoza, Less
ing. Heine. and Thomas Mann.
Books by our own Upton Sinclair,
Jack London, and Helen Keller
went on the flames too, with thous-
ands OF others.
Twenty thousand volumes were
on tie Berlin pyre; 5000 at Bres-
lau: and 1000 at Kiel. At Munich
the books burned had been taken
from the University Library. All
these volumes we're destroyed by
those who represent "a nobler Ger
many" as DR.. Goebbels expressed
it. Freedom Of the press died in the
land of Gutenberg with the birth
OF that "nobler Germany"
The exhibit of Nazi banned books
will be on view at the Library un-
til May "a.

The following statement was

Negro member OF the Detroit Hous-

war housing projects:
THE mayor had no basis for feel

Detroit Housing Commission acted
in the matter OF bi-racial issue
| feel that the mayor is unduly
frightened by the issue. II the De-
troit Housing Commission had a
fortnight policy OF housing war
workers on the basis OF the first

no trouble. The mayor knows that
the program has worked in other
cities. One OF the ways to avert race
trouble is TO have the two races
in a position so that they could
better understand each other. II men
are to work together in the factory
in. harmony they will certainly have
to be made to see that the Negro
outside the factory is an American
citizen. Mayor Jeffries' position is
indefensible on this basis. believe
that he was motivated by imaginary
fear more than anything else. No
mayor can succeed in Detroit by
bowling to discrimination and seq
regation and bigotry."

After the competition the groups
will parade past the reviewing
stand to take their places upon the
field for a mass demonstration Of
conditioning exercises used in their

Cleanliness And Efficiency
The most advanced ideas OF

The units of stainless steel ma

Carefully Selected Ingredients
The same care is expended on
the selection OF each pure-food in

are thoroughly mixed and blended

the syrup flows to the automatic
bottle-filling machines.

Actually, a coated tongue is
not an important symptom OF
anything at all. 1t may be pres
ent in good health - or it may
be entirely limited to physical
factors within the mouth, as,
for example with mouth breath

tongue with a flow of air during
the night. permitting the accum-

Also, with excessive loss of

tongue may appear, but such a
condition may be corrected at
once by the sufficient intake of
fluid.
The quality of the diet influ-

that the mechanical action of

rub the coat away, whereas milk

BY DIR. THOMAS d. MASTERS
Written for NEA Service

The average American dis
plays an exaggerated interest in
coated tongues. They are assoc
lated in his mind with bad
breath and digestive disturb
ances.
Earlier doctors, too, laid great
stress on the appearance of the
tongue, but it is doubtful if 1t
meant very much to their dag
nOSiS.
The coated tongue should be
an easy thing to account for, but
as a matter of fact, it is not.
Much depends on what the
tongue looks like. The major
portion of the surface of the
tongue is covered with numer-
Gus flexible spines, which re-
semble field of sharp blades of
grass, moistened by the SALIVA
normally secreted at the rate of
about two ounces per hour dur
ing the day. Into this field, par
ticles of food, bacteria and the
sloughed- surface cells of the
tongue itself become entangled
often mixed with dried mucous
from the nose and throat. This
coat, thus formed, alters the col
or of the tongue from the nor
NAL pink to a gray or brownish
coat, depending upon the type OF
debris deposited on it The as
ISOLATION of a coated tongue
with a stomach upset is difficult
to explain if one assumes that
the upset itself is the cause of the
coated tongue, it must be shown
that material from the stomach
or intestinal tract is carried back
through the throat up into the
mouth. That this process can oc-
cur has not been satisfactorily
demonstrated
CAUSES ARE NUMEROUS
BY the same token, a coated
tongue may occur along with
halitosis, but the coated tongue i:

bad breath. If the appearance i:

Bill Slated for
House Compoi9n

WASHINGTON, April 21-(H)
Legislation TO provide benefits
for civilian defense workers and
civilian air patrol members in
jured or killed while on duty is
expected 10 be pressed in the
House after the Easter recess.
Similar legislation was re-
jected last year, but its hackers
today claimed new support from
the growing army of air raid
wardens, auxiliary policemen,
firemen and others engaged in
volunteer civilian defense pro-
grams.
Existing law makes no such
provision. ~
Two bills before the House jul
dietary committee would set up
system of civilian defense
benefits, while a measure before
the interstate committee pro-
poses financial help for DEEPEN
dents of civil air patrol members
killed on duty.
Rep. Rolph (R-Calif) has pro-
posed benefit payments for de-
Tense workers not TO exceed
those going to war veterans, and
a dill drafted by Rep. Kennedy
(D-NY) provides for a lump
payment of $4,000 if death re-
suits within six years from an in
jury incurred while on duty
Monthly payments-under the
Kennedy plan would range from
S58.33 to Sl1666 for total dis
ability and from 1888 to
S66.67 for partial disability.
