Joseph H. Gaiser, E. 0. N. Instructor,
Speaks on Conditions in Germany
At Saturday Meeting of A. A. U. W.
Sixteen years of depression have
brought Germany to an extreme sit
uation, and among the poorer, to the
verge of starvation, Joseph H. Gaiser,
Of the Eastern Oregon Normal school
faculty, stated Saturday when he act
dressed the American Association of
University Women at the opening
meeting of the fall at 12:30 at the
Bacajawea Inn. Mr. Gainer Is well
acquainted with conditions In Ger
many having spent last winter study
ing In Munich and traveling over the
country.
, The middle clas3 In Germany Is a
thing of the past, he adds. Vast pov
erty is found, while a few have money
Which they upend readily believing
that If they do not spend It, It will
bo taken away. All the great Indus
tries are practically paralyzed and
from one-third to one-haft are at
complete standstill. The United States
is" r not In the condition that Ger
many Is In, he pointed out.
Eight millions are out of work ana
others are getting a small salary or
t which they are compelled to give 20
to 25 per cent for the unemployed.
Germany has the most highly social
ised system In the world, he Bald.
Most of the money borrowed by
Germany Is not used to pay repara
tions but to build new factories, Garet
Garrett was quoted by Mr. Gaiser as
saying. Germany has passed a tariff
which puts a high Import duty on In
coming goods, the speaker stated. The
tariff hits the United States but there
Is no other way for Germany but self
help, he believes, by promoting agrl
culture and manufacturing that em
ploy labor and putting their own pro
ducts on the market.
The treaty of Versailles which fol
lowed the close of the war has been
called the "Crime of Versailles" in
Germany and they do not recognize it
aa a treaty. To enter a wedge Into
Its clauses is the aim of the Germans.
They are especially bitter against the
"war guilt" clause in which the en
tire blame for the war Is placed on
the "most peacable of peoples," Mr.
Gaiser said. Reparations also nave
been considered by Germany as one
of the crimes. The Polish corridor,
which, through the treaty, cut off Ea3t
Prussia from the rest of Germany, is
the thing hated ' most by the Ger
mans.
Out of the situation In Germany a
mob psychology has grown up and
one man sensed what the Germans
wanted. That man, according to the
speaker. Is Adolph Hitler, a carpenter
and a soldier in the army, who seized
the opportunity and soon had mil
lions of followers and at the last elec
tion, 48 per cent of the seats In the
relchstag. Hitler 1b a "Nazi" socialist
but Is rabidly antl-communlstic.
Germany ha3 been torn between
many parties but Mr. Gaiser predicted
that Van Papen and Hlndenburg are
going to "steai Hitler's thunder" be
fore the next relchstag and defeat
him. Hitler Is a dangerous man be
cause he has not the ability to handle
power, Mr. Oalser said, -

CHAPTER XLIII
Dan Phillips sighed heavily. He
threw one arm, upward, tugged at the
covers ana, wiuvnts eyes suu closed,
screwed his face into a frown.
For a few moments h lav outfit
Then the glare of bright sunshine
was kx mucn I or mm. uan stirred,
murmuring sleepily, "Cherry time is
in unerry ?" ,
There was no answer. Sunlight
continued to stream through the
window and at last Dan opened his
eyes. He raised himself to one el
bow, scowled at the offending win
dow blind that hung at a crooked
angle midway of the upper pane,
and let out a hall-suppressed oath:
The next minute he was sitting up,
rubbing his head ruefully.
Dan was alone In the room. It
was Sunday, seven days after
Cherry's departure. Dan's clothes
festooned a nearby chair. There
were scattered newspapers on the
floor and the entire apartment
looked out of order.
Phillips rubbed . the offending
forehead again. He rose to his feet,
crossed to the window and pulled
at the shade. He did It so sharply
that the blind fell to the floor.
Damn I" the young man ejacu
lated.
It took all of five minutes of an
noyed and repeated efforts to get
the window shade Into place again.
When it was done Phillips slumped
into a big chair. The hands of the
yellow alarm clock on the table
pointed to 20 minutes after one
o'clock.
His head was pounding. Should
have hod sense enough not to go
out with the gong laa$ night, he
told himself. But then, he had had
to do something. B rend a was busy
with an engagement. He d Intended,
to Join the card game only for an
hour or so and then come home
to get some Bleep. Instead well,
anyhow he felt rotten)
There should be aspirin In the
medicine cabinet. Cherry always
kept it
Phillips checked himself and
swore again. He had vowed he
would not think of Cherry. A girl
who could treat a fellow the way
she had treated him! Left him, flat.
Gone away without even a word or
a note of explanation. Just disap
peared. Anyone else would have
been sensible about It. Nowadays
marriages and divorces were taken
in a matter-of-fact way. Why did
Cherry have to work herself Into
a state of hysterics and create a
scene? Why not admit sensibly that
their marriage was a failure (be
cause of her nagging and quibbling
and narrow-mindedness) and set
about arranging a divorce?
No wonder Dan had felt last
night that a drink or two wouldn't
hurt him. A week ago last night
he and Cherry had had that row.
He had come home and found her
gone. For days he had expected
some message from her. Now he
knew none would come. She was
through with him. All right If
that was the way she wanted It)
He'd not make a move to find her.
Not a move I i j
. A hamper used for Bolledj cloth
ing stood In the bathroom. Dan
kicked at It violently. He had
sworn he would not) think of Cherry
again and hero he was doing It I
The aspirin was where he had
expected to find It. Dan took two of
the pellets, dashed cold water over
his face and went to the kitchen.
He decided to make coffee. There
were unwashed dishes piled In the
sink and after a look at them. Don
changed his mjnd. He returned to
the bathroom and stepped Into a cold
shower. Then he shaved, dressed and
presently left the house.
, Dixie Shannon was coming up
the steps. She wore a tawny cloth
coat with deep cuffs and collar of
red fox. Dixie's hat was blue velvet
and both coat and hat were new.
She carried a prayer book.
"Good morning."
' "Morning?" she laughed. "MJaybe
it's morning to you but my watch
says 2:30. I've been out for hours
even went to church 1"
Phillips was not Inclined for con
versation. He moved nllghtly as
though to continue on his way hut
Dixie remained squarely in the mid
dle of the lower step.
"I haven't seen anything of you
or Cherry for a week," she went on.
"la Cherry upstairs now? Guess I'll
drop in "
The young man's expression did
not change. "You won't find her,"
he said curtly. Some explanation
seemed necessary and he added
"Didn't you know? Cherry's gone
for a little trip. Vlaitlng relatives.
She won't be bock for some time yet."
"You mean Cherry's gone?"
"Why, yes. I thought probably
she'd told you. Left a week ago."
"For goodness sokel"
Her tone of voice annoyed Phil
Hps. He mumbled something about
an engagement and would have
brushed past but the girl stopped
him. Dixie's eyes widened.
"Don," she said anxiously, "there
Isn't anything wrong, Is there? I
mean you and Cherry ?"
"Of count notl" He snapped the
words out. An Instant later Phillips
was hurrying down the street his
expression as dark as his thoughts.
Meddling women! Always nosing
Into other people's affairs. There
was bound to be talk now. Why did
he have to meet Dixie Shannon, of
all people, today? Give that Shan
non the hint of scandal and she'd
stay with it until she'd dragged out
the truth. What made her think
there was anything wrong between
Cherry and himself? And whose
business was It of there were?
The aspirin hadn't seemed to help
his head. Dan plodded on angrily,
reached the corner Just too late to
catch a street car. He fumbled In
his vest pocket, discovered he hod
clgarets but no matches.
Damn everything! What a day!
They stepped from the cab and
Dan handed the driver a bill. Brenda
Vail, half-turning, said, "Are you
coming up?"
"Don't mdnd, do you?"
She smiled. "Of course not! Only
you really mustn't stay so long
you did the last time, dear. I've let
ters to write "
"Letters? Last night you had a
mysterious engagement and tonight
It's letters. Say, Brenda you're not 1
trying to get rid of me, are you?"
"Silly boy! How can you even
say such things. Besides It's your
fault If I've neglected my friends so
long they must all think me dead!
You know that, don't you?"
She smiled and to the young man
that smile seemed the utmost of
devoted tenderness. They were' in
side the building now. The elevator
bore them upward, stopped, and a
minute later they were entering
miss van s apartment.
She stood still, letting Dan re
move the luxurious fur wrap from
her shoulders. Then sho moved to
a mirror, touohed her hair here and
there, drew a slender gold lip
stick from her purse and applied
the paste critically.
Dan's head appeared In the mir
ror behind her. "You don't need
that stuff," he told her. "You're
beautiful without Itl"
Compliments always pleased Bren
da. She tilted her head backward,
looking up at him and , smiling
through narrowed lashes.
"Do you really think that?" she
asked coyly.
'Brenda, you know I do!" Sud
denly his armp were around her.
Ho would have kissed her but she
eluded.
'Please, Dan!" she protested. "I've
Just finished my lips. You'll spoil
them!"
"WMt of it?"
He caught her by. the shoulders a
trifle roughly, kissed her a dozen
times. "Brenda," Dan whlBpered,
'let's get away from, this place!
Therefs nothing to Btop us now;
Let's go tomorrow!"
She broke away from him. "But
you must be mad!" Brenda ex
claimed. "You know we can't do
that."
"Why not? You said you would
you said we'd go to New York "
"After we've heard about the
play yes I" she explained patiently.
It would be ridiculous to leave be
fore! You know the letter from
my agent said prospects are hope
ful. There's sure to be a definite
answer any day now."
'Any day I You've said that a
hundred times. I can't wait for
'any day' to cornel I'm sick of this
town and everything in It. I want
to get away from: here, Brenda.
Wrhat difference does it make about
the play? I'll get a Job I can find
one I
'But the play means so much!"
she assured him. Brenda's lashes
had narrowed again. "It's you I'm
thinking of, Dan," she told him,
"You and your future. My dear,
you do know that, don't you? We
have to da what's best for you."
- "Then come away with mel"
"What makes you so anxious to
leave Wellington?" 1
"Why shouldn't, I want to leave?
I hate the town! They're all a lot
of old gossips here. Besides, It's
the thing to do. If I get out Cherry
can start suit "
"Oh Cherry! So you're thinking
about her now?"
"Don't talk that way, Brenda. I
have to think of Cherry, don't I,
if you and I are to be married? I
mean she'll have to divorce me.
Of course !t will take time but In
the meanwhile'"
Jn the meanwhile I told you
theto are letters I must write. Real
ly, Dan, you should go. It's growing
late."
"If you want me to leave promise
me one thlntil I'm willing to watt
a wetk to hear iroa thnt Dgent. If
a letter doesn't covno by that time
promise you'll go to Now ' York with
me!"
"But, Dan "
"All right then I don't leave!
You'd promise, Brenda, if you cared
for mu as much ps you said, You'd
piom.'fie if you loved mel"
Her shoulders moved Impatiently.
"You're being very foolish again,1

"Then you will go?"
"In a week. Yes I promise l"
As he rang for the elevator a few

himself he was the happiest fellow
In the world. He was almost able

County Officers
Are Questioned
By Game Warden
lly '. I.. Flower
(Observer Correspondent)
ENTERPRISE (Special) "I say,"
said Oame Warden Walter Harris, ot
Idaho, last Thursday, "Just what do
you fellows think you are up to any
way." He was speaking to County
Judge Edgar Marvin, County Clerk
David Reavis and Ira E. Snyder, lum
ber dealer, all of Enterprise. The rea
son for his questions was that the
three men were approaching Lewis
ton, Ida., and they had two tine deer
as part of tho cargo on their car.
Naturally explanations were in order
and were made to tho satisfaction of
everyone concerned. It seems the
three men had been to the road meet
ing in Spokane and decided to kill
two birds with the often used stone,
so they loft their good clothes be
hind, drove as far as they could and
lujtcd and rode the rest into littlo
known regions of Oregon and here
they were fortunate enough or else
good shots, anyway they bagged two
fine deer and duly tagged them all
legally and In correct form. Then
they started bock after their better
clothes and to resume the trip home.
Their explanation was accepted and
they arrived with the venison. The
season opens In Idaho, Oct. 5 and nat
urally the game warden had a real
reason for being suspicious.
Tho Enterprise Woman's club en
tertained the women teachers of tho
Enterprise school lost Saturday af
ternoon at a tea served In the High
school. A very friendly spirit of co
operation prevailed and a good time
had by all.
Coach Paul Schiller ami four of his
playors from the Enterprise eleven
scouted tho La araiKlo-Walla Walla
football gamo lost Saturday. Tho
coach did not express any opinion but
is working his boys hard and point
ing them toward tho La .Grande
game. Walla Walla won and Coach
Bchlllor has hopes that his team can
do likewise.
