The Death of HAD the death of President von Hindenburg, been either sudden or unexpected, it might have precipitated a serious crisis in Germany. For the sturdy oak of Neudeck, was not only the titular head of his country, he was Germany's one national hero. The Ger man race is extremely sentimental, and any sudden disappear ance of such an important figure one might term von Hinden burg both a tradition and an institution mjght well have thrown the harassed and unhappy country into violent turmoil DUT the death of Germany's three or four years his health had been failing. Although his true condition was kept from the German people and the outside world; those in the know, have realized for a long time that the hero of Tannenberg'g days were numbered. As a result his death was for a long time discounted. Every thing was ready for the inevitable. The moment that strong and courageous heart stopped beating, the machinery that had been prepared and waiting for just such an event, started to function. In fact for at least 18 months the president of Germany had been merely a figurehead. His popularity and fame had been cleverly capitalized by the Nazis. No important move was made by Hitler, without the nominal endorsement of the dying Field Marshal. Had von Hindenburg been a younger man, or had his health not broken, the history of Germany for the past year, would undoubtedly have been a very different story. For von Hindenburg was of the stalwart, wise and sane Bismarck type; just as Hitler, in spite of his humble origin, is of the ex-Kaiser type, volatile, dynamic, spectacular. The passing of the former closely resembles the break between the Kaiser and Bismarck, immortalized in that Punch cartoon, the "casting off of the pilot." For Germany now faces a brand new era. pER FUEHRER' 1 henceforth will have everything his own way, with no apparent obstacle in his path. He will be both chancellor and president, and while a national election will be held to legalize this latest assumption of power, with the army at Hitler's command, this election, like all other recent elections in Germany, will be a So unless all signs fail, Germany three weeks hence, will be under an absolute dictatorship, any that has existed in Europe, jXHAT of the morrow T al inferiority complex, guide this once great nation back to its place in the sun? For that is really all the German people demand. Germany is like a national champion who has lost his title, and firmly believes he was tricked and robbed of it. His one desire in life ti (0 stage a comeback regain it until, figuratively speaking, he is back where he was, once upon a time. "r0 they ever come back?" Yes, SOMETIMES. But we can't believe Germany ever will, under a neurotic oppor tunist like Hitler. Germany needs a bigger and a better man, a stronger man, Germany needs Barring such a leader, we can the Fatherland. For certainly Hitler can't last long. Granting his flair for rabble rousing, his personal magetism, his theatrical audacity, the people of Germany will sooner or later realize, that his leadership is taking them just where the Kaiser's leader ship took them to national isolation, and eventual disaster. KTO nation can succeed, much less regain lost ground, with out the respect and friendship of other nations. Even war, to which Hitler appeals indirectly time and again, would under such conditions, be nothing short of suicide. Tt isn't dictatorship that is ruining Germany, it is the nature OF that dictatorship. Let that dictatorship express the real spirit and genius of the German people, discard the sword, de throne the self seeking politician put in their place a spirit of conciliation, toleration, self-respect and good will and Ave sec no reason why Germany could not eventually regain that place in the world, which her intelligence, talents, and tireless indus try, justify.

Everyone knows that oil or fat la better fuel than starch or sugar or lean meat. Chemical analysis proves that fat haa 3 times aa much fuel value, nu tritive value of calories aa we get from sugar or starch or protein (say the white of egg). Thus a tea spoonful of sugar or atarcb la counted good for 30 calories, but an equal weight of oil or fat la credited with 68 calories, In comput ing the value of a diet. Fat Is more nourishing than either carbohydrate (sugar or starch) or protein (egg white, lean meat, milk curd, gluteln). Carbohydrate and protein have ex actly the same fuel or caloric value, around -1800 calories In the pound, compared with 4200 calorlea In the pound of fat, such as lard or tallow. Butter yields 3600 calories In the pound, or 80 calories for a ball (about one-third of an ounce), aa butter con tains 11 per cent of water. That Isn't much water, compared with milk. which Is 87 per cent water and choice lean beef which Is from 60 to 75 per cent water. The body of a man weighing 150 pounds consists of nearly 90 pounds of water and a dozen elements. All told the body contains from 18 to 25 pounds of fat. When an excess of fat has accumu lated, It may be burned off In any of a number of ways. Unfortunately It can't be baked. boiled or stewed out of the body by any kind of bath or heat treatment. Pat persons who harbor the notion that It can be sweat out are Just a bit too fat In the head. Normally or naturally surplus fat la burned off or rather It la burned as fast as It accumulates by the dally work, play or exercfee one takes. Speaking of work, play or exercise, remember that dally walking la tbe best of all exercises. There are four ways to burn off and get rid of adiposity. First, exer cise, hard work, active play. Second, reatrlctlon of the Intake of food. : chiefly of carbohydrate food; when the dAtly Intake falls below tbe re- j qulrements of the body the store of! fat la drawn on and used, burned to furnish the energy required. Third. by thyroid feeding, a method of treatment safely employed only by 1 a physician. Fourth, by dinltrophe- I nol treatment, another method which NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Aug. 2. The long de layed uprooting of the old down town poetofflce removes about the last familiar land - marks on the lower nub of the Island. A glowering pile, the tobacco brown structure finally goes the way of the Astor House and the tumble - down that was the Eve ning Mall build ing. The old post- office aeemed 1 eternal In Its In corrigible shabblnesa but there was something about It, like a mill by a brook, that furnished a sentimental tug among surrounding aplrea, The northern side was flanked by one of the town's shortest thoroughfares Mall street. Through it always swirled a lively scour of breeze and on sultry days disciples of Park Row used to quit Journalizing effort to go there to cool off. A platform for mall bags provided a country depot effect where temporary loafers swapped yarns and smoked cigarettes. David Oraham Phillips once made It the exciting locale of a short mys tery. It was a few steps from Fulton, the legendary dead-line for crooks. There were many other notlonable conjectures surrounding the land mark that were seized by fiction writers. And now It Is going.

A fundamental fact which every oversize (It is the size, not the weight that matters) person must grasp is that once an excess of adipose haa accumulated.

The wisdom of a sedentary penon or one unaccustomed to strenuous exercise entering upon a reduction regimen In which hard work la a fea ture la questionable.

Does the use of sun glasses affect the eyes? I bought them In a de partment atore and they were Inex pensive. After wearing them a while my eyes seem to hurt. F. B. Answer Oculists advise against wearing smoked or tinted glasses, ex cept wlen It Is necessary to be ex posed to intensive glare as on snow in the mountains or In the desert or on water. Smoked, rather than colored lenses are preferable. Hot Water. Is water drawn from the hot water tank In the average home suitable for drinking and cooking? Mrs. L. C. M. Answer Aa suitable as the water before It is heated. The par-boiling of the water pasteurizes It. that Is. destroys any disease germs the water might happen to contain.

Comment on the Day's News Bj FRANK JENKINS nEST news of the week, BY FAR: U pacific Coast strike ended, and men going cheerfully and happily back to work. IT'S always good news when men go back to work no matter what the reason for their quitting or the reason for their going back. It'a men going back to work that creates prosperity, and prosperity Is the biggest news In the world. Especially when we've gone for four years WITHOUT It. ABOUT the saddest news of the week: Marie Dressier dies. Marie Dressier was homely In her old as, and never particularly beau tiful, even In her youth. ' But she had brains, and the ability to work hard and like It. So she be came a great actress. IN THE list othuman blessings, place brains at. the top. Brains have brought us up from savagery to civilization, without brain's, we should still be living In caves, dressing In skins and getting our food with a club and eating It raw, for it took brains to discover the uses of fire. BUT don't discount hard work. The best brains In the' world, In the skull of an Idler, would do nobody any good. Brains, to be of value, must be USED, and using them Involves work. THE theory seems to be gaining ground In these davj, that. th thing to do Is to work less, produce less and so avoid surpluses. In the probably unimportant opin ion of this humble writer, that la all WRONG. Tho thing to do Is to work more and HAVE MORE. MARIE DRESSLER was admired because brains and hard work made her a great actress. She was loved because she posses sed tolerance for other people's faulta and weaknesses, understanding of their motives and aspirations and sympathy for their griefs and trou bles. If there were more tolerance, un derstanding and sympathy In this world, It would be a much better place In which to live. PREMIER KEISUKE OKADA, of Japan, challenges the "highly armed powers" to take the first step In reduction of naval armaments. He's perfectly safe. All that the highly armed powers want to do about reduction of armaments, na val or military. Is to TALK about It. They are restrained by FEAR from doing anything more. FEAR, you know, rules the Jungle, and In their relations with each other even the so-called highly civi lized powers haven't progressed far above the Jungle stage. LOVE OF MOTHER IS CHICAGO (UP) The love of a young Armenian artlat for his mother Is reflected In the portrayal of "The Lord's Last Supper," a mother-of-pearl carving on display in the Hall of Religion at the World's Fair. The material used In the work la obtainable only In a shark -Infested portion of the Red Sea. Started by Ivas Khan Beylan In 1735, It took 37 years to complete the masterpiece. Blindness, brought on by the min ute detail work necessary for Che portrayal, came to the artist Just 65 days after- the finished masterpiece was presented to his mother. As a constsnt reminder of Ivaa great love for his mother, the work had been zealously guarded by the original family and handed down to succeeding generations, until in 1901 ' It was stolen by the Turks during an Invasion of the village where the Khan Beylan family dwelt. For many years the family searched for the masterpiece. One of the sons, John Korenlan. left the native coun try In 1911 and continued the quest. In 1939 he succeeded In locating and recovering the heirloom, but the dia monds and rubles which formerly ornamented the pearl classic were missing. The carving was displayed in Med ford about a year ago by John Korenlan who lived here for several years soon after his arrival In this country. MAINE COAST ROCKED PORTLAND. Me.
