ItOIuIldVS 1OI IIlS uOU1OuS t1OL1OI O1 the worlds greatest fool one Ger man paper-hanger by the name of Schickelgruber. How did he find his way into library column Be- cause of his two books: "Mein Kampf" and it's sequel My New Order" "Mein Kampf," the royal ties for which do NOT go to Hit Ter, is happily outdated in it's pre- else plans for world conquest, but it should be still read as a revela- ton of the potentialities of Hitler ism. Vicious, vulgar and violent, it gives to the American public a new insight into the mind and character of Europe's latest Napoleon. The predictions and statements of in- tention made by Hitler make in- teresting reading in view of the subsequent course of events.
 "tMy New Order" is a collection of Schickelgruber speeches during the first war years, edited with commentary by Raoul de Roussy de Sales: Each speech is preceded by an explanatory comment, and a running chronology of world events places each speech against it's pro- per background.
 Hitler is a false prophet-but history shows that there have been true ones. Among these true pro- phets are two whose predictions are represented in the Base Libra ry collection. One is Nostradamus, a French physician and scholar of the sixteenth century. His claim to lasting fame lies in his "oracles," rhymed quatrains in which he made prophecies concerning the future, many of which seem to have been fulfilled. "Oracles of Nostradamus," edited by c. A. Ward, contains fascinating deci- pherings of these prophecies to- gether with a biography of the seer. A more recent biography is "Nostradamus, the Man who Saw through Time," by Lee McCann. Here Miss McCann has written mixture of simple biography and fiction, containing Nostradamus' verses and her interpretations of their meanings.
 The Bible quotation, "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and his own house." was never more aptly applied than to Billy Mitchell, founder of our present-day Air Forces. Just before his death Billy Mitchell entrusted certain private papers to Emile Gauvreau who promised that he would present this material to the American public during the present crisis, which Mitchell foresaw. The f cts presented in Gauvreau's book, "Billy Mitchell" are backed by Recommendation; and one of the first and sharpest things that i'm presses itself on your mind as you read it is how close to one hundred percent right Mitchell was in ev. erything he suggesed and pre- dicted!
 Like to try little predicting yourself? Then you will be inter- ested in Evangeline Adams "As- trology for Everyone" and Jen- nings' "Your Hand Tells All" "~The first tells what astrology is and how it workers and you will be able to apply this broad knowledge to yourself and your friends. Two chapters are devoted to husbands and wives, with information on choosing a congenial mate. Believe in it or not, it's interesting read ing.
 "Your Hand Tells All" is an in- teresting and informative book on palmistry, the art by which one professes to discover the tempera- ment and character of any one, as we'll as the past and future events of his life, from an examination of the palm of his hand and of the lines traced upon it. Here's a brand new excuse for little extra
