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

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

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

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

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

conciliation, toleration, self-respect and good will and Ave sec

THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO BURN FAT.
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

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. The long de

something about It, like a mill by a

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Sun Glasses.
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. But bolting
for five minutes Is necessary to eter
nize water.
Acidophilus.
Opinion regarding use of aoyado
phllus for Intestinal trouble. Would
yeast have same effect7 L. P.

the acidophilua preparations is worth
a toast. No harm in taking them. If

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.

are concerned, it being estimated by
the state tax commission that the
collections for this year will fall
short fully 200,000 of the commis

"Due primarily to savings of more

Meier In the state budget for the
current blenhlum, the state deficit
has been reduced from approximate

"Although, In view of the drastic
cuts made during the current blen

wipe out the remaining state deficit

"To completely eliminate thia In

state's financial affairs on a sound
basis, has been one of the major ob

the salary reduction scale adopted
by the last legislature be retained

two-year period, and appropriations

DRIVE EXPECTED
BY CALIFORNIA
(Continued it mo page one)
Reds Silenced for Time.
Avowed communist leaders whose
announced program of activities in-,
eluded fomenting disturbances In
agricultural, Industrial and oommer-
clal areas of the state, were silenced,
for the time at least, state officials
agreed, by this spontaneous upris
lng of official and unofficial citi
zenry. "The state was prepared to take
the Initiative against communist ac
tivities in California." Governor Mer
rtem declared, "but now that the city
and county authorities are roused to
the duty, we will back them to the
fullest extent. I shall use all ha
power Invested in me to prevent In
terference by these agitators with tha
orderly progress of government and
business.
Adjutant-General .Seth Howard,
whose national guardsmen aided San
Francisco bay area, authorities in
handling the general strike, said this
should be the beginning of concert
ed action against radical elements.
Radicals Indexed.
Morrill's bureau Is an Important
factor in the drive against the com
munists, for there la assembled a
complete file of all persons active
In the radical ranks. This informa
tion is kept up-to-date by a steady
flow of new material which is re
layed to local authorities for thelrif
aid. '
These officials claim that although
the communist program has 1-mg
been known to therm, Its details, aa
aimed at California In particular,
were never made public until recent
ly when Albert Hougardy, Pat Cham
bers and other communist leaders out
lined their plans to Interfere with
orderly business progression in this
state.
Hougardy and Chambers were ar
rested In .Sacramento when police
raided the local communist head
quarters and school, July 20.
They, with Caroline Decker, Martin
Wilson and 30 other communists,
have been held in Jail awaiting trials
this month.
Sacramento Was Hub.
The roundup of these Sacramento
communists Is regarded by authorltioa
as highly Important because, they
said, the nucleus of agitator groups
identified with agricultural dlsturb
snces throughout the state during
the past several monhs Is "out of
circulation."
Caroline Decker, secretary of the
Cannery and Agricultural Workers?
union, and Chambers, the orcsnl?
tlon's field worker, were leaders ot'
groups agitating pickers In cotton,
apricot, pear, melon and other per
ishable crops last year. They were
set to resume similar operations dur
ing the coming season, but they are
likely to be In jail instead.
