 For the Peace.Makers "At the close of World War I, the Allies left to Germany the trial of military, naval and official personnel, who during hostilities had committed of- lenses contrary to the laws and customs of civilized warfare. The right of the Allies to try such war offendners' before military tribun- als had been recognized by Ger many in the Treaty of Versailles. On the plea, however, that the dellv. cry of the war offenders would topple the peace structure, Germany was permitted to conduct the trials at Leipzig, guaranteeing impartial and firm execution of the proceed ings. Of an original list of some 900 persons accused of serious offences, only 45 were included in test list submitted by the Allies after pro- tracted argument on the part of the Germans. Only l2 were actually tried and but six convicted. They vaaaiOad tnaAa1nakn oankatanae anA the two whose sentences were sev- crest escaped from German jails, apparently with official connivance. !"

 Every braEen legislative attempt to gag newscasters fizzled. Now & more subtle approach is being used: : They hope to push commentators off the air by hitting them in the pocketbook. Sen. Wheeler introduced bill that would ban the sponsor ship of news programs. How long would some Congressmen exist if taxpayers ceased sponsoring them to the tune of $l0,000 each per year? By the same line of reasoning, all newspapermen could be deprived of their incomes because their gazettes have adverts. The alibi is that sponsors pull the strings of commen- tatorS' opinions.
 In case you didn't know, the conn- pany that sponsors the broadcasts of this Roosevelt fan is devoutly Re- publican.

Scientists refer to this snake as
having stout body with q long
head that is but slightly distinct
from the neck. The head Is COW
cred with scales The large eyes are
catlike, having elliptical pupils, and
the ring of seven to 10 scales makes
them appear larger. Near the snout
there are several pairs of shields.
The body scales are in 80 to As rows.
AS if to escape too much attention
these small reptiles have an upper
color of blush gray or brown. The
abdomen is red and occasionally yel-
lowish with brown dots. The crawl
ing plates of the abdomen are not
quite so broad as on the Colubrine

AS far as observation has gone,
these snakes are rather shy. In
deed, they have evidently been
eager to remain unknown. It is
known that, toward man, they show
no hostility, and even permit han
ding without being annoyed. Some
times these small boas will roll
themselves into a series of twists,
assuming a spherical outline. In
this position they can, If need, be,
roll about like q ball. Some who
have seen the snakes contract in
this manner have called them ball

Words to Watch.

The verb TRAVERSE, ito trave
across" is one of the most frequently
mispronounced words in English. d.
not say "truh-vERSS." The erro.
neous second-syllable accent mus
be the result Of false association
with such words as reverse, rehearse
disperse, etc. Be sure to place the
accent on the first syllable, thus:
TRAV-erss.
The first syllable Of CULINARY
should not rhyme with dull, hull
lull." Pronounce 1t "kew" as ir
cute, cupid. Sal: KEW'n-NAIR zee
The old nursery rhyme, Mary
Mary, quite contrary, How does you,
garden grow? is responsible for the
erroneous second-syllable accent ir
pronouncing CONTRARY, as "kun.
TRAIR-ee." The second syllable ac-
cent was once in good standing, but
it is now regarded as dialectal. Best
usage accents the first syllable only
thus: KON-trair-ee
LAMENTABLE Is another word
that should not be accented on the
second syllable All dictionaries
agree on the first-syllable accent
thus: LAM-en- -tuh-b1.
But ROBUST should not be ROE
bust" Robust has a curious origin;
it is from the Latin robustus, "ot
hard oaken wood" hence strong
hard. Be sure to say; roe-BUST.

Ofice and factory personnel of the Patent Button Company, num- bering approximately 225 employees, have reasons to feel enthused over their support of the war effort. Men and Money have been only part of their contribution to the Victory drive, but in study of these factors some interesting factors are noted.
 With the plants mechanical equipment geared for an all-out pro- duction mark the company's patri- otic employees have only to remem- Der that 53 former associates are serving with the Armed Forces-38 in the army, four in the Marines and II in the Navy.
