The structure takes the place of a twinging bridge, which squeamish guests alwnya tack led as If he was going over Nlagnra Falls In a sauerkraut barrel. Before the dedicatory exercises, the aaaem bled persona partook freely of fried chicken, prepared under the skillful eye snd hand of the host, who as a chicken fryer has no peer, here abouts or tn the state of Maryland. All hands ate as if they never sto fried chicken before and never would again. Sheriff 8yd I. Brown was present wearing his campaign hat and smile. The aherlff Invoked his pet domestic science theory. He washed the pots and pans, and put them awny, when used. The sheriff stated for 37 years, he had vainly endeavored to havo this efficiency practiced In his own kitchen. The two cooks managed to mens up the pots and pane as fast as the limb of the law could wnsh them. Constable Nick Young, another guest before the feeding, persistently Insisted he was going to wuh the dishes. Afterward, before he could suenk off, he had to wnsh the dishes. The constable, without trying to be funny, declared he had no attach ment for the Job. everybody complimented Her my upon the sturdlneas of his bridge, and the tenderness of his chicken, but It remained for Col. Tou Velle of the state highway com mission to exhibit politeness plus. The Colonel was not alone enraptured by the fried chicken, but put In a good word for the boiled potatoes, and the U other vetr,bles. e e e A furniture plant strike In Port land continues.

(Andulu.la (Ala.) .star.) t'lnsui,; lime for Too Lute to Cli ally Ads is l;Ju p. m. Or2g How Crazy Is Hitler? TboM whom th. gods would destroy, they first make mid. Thit column hm applied the above to Hitler and Fascist Germany for many months past. "The man is crazy, his fol lowers are shell-shocked, the essential problem presented in Central Europe is not political or military, but psycopathic, etc., etc." i Considerable truth to that. But as the drama of terror unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that while the madness charge is true, it isn't the WHOLE truth. For just as a sur prising shrewdness and cunning often accompanies an unbal anced mind so there, is method in this Hitler madness, a diabolical, and perhaps even an effective, method. We refer to the Jewish problem, of course. pOR a government like i Hitler's, or any other absolute Dictatorship must have two things to endure: 1. Enough money to pay its bills. 2. A people, or at least a majority of the people, in a oonstant state of fear, of agitation, of apprehension. No government, unable to pay its way, can stand for long. In this day and age no people free from fear, that is a contented, happy, at-pcace-with-the-world people will long tolerate the tremendous sacrifices a dictatorship demands. Personal liberty, freedom of thought and action, are too univer sally cherished by human kind everywhere, in this 20th century. OUT when they ARE kept in a state of fear, fear of their " lives, their national existence, fear of extinction, fear of enemies within or without, they ARE willing to surrender their liberties for the sake of their security, for the sake of self-preservation, but only as long as they are CONVINCED their security is in danger. SO we have the Jewish problem made to order for Dcr Feuhrer'g purposes. From the first, he has made the Jews a scapegoat for the loss of the World war, the Jews betrayed the Fatherland, sold out to the Allies, are a menace within to national rehabilitation, or any return to self-respect and power. Not a day has passed, since bis accession to power, that this Jew-baiting, Jew-hating propaganda has not gone on its, cruel, malevolent destructive way, and as above noted with a defi nite purpose from the standpoint of effective Fascist statecraft. Dictatorship to endure must have a constant peril, jf Jews had not been available, some other race would have been se lected or some other monace would have been created. A ND racially the Germans had in it millions of Jews a problem, which, human nature boing what it is, could be made a burning issue, a national menace, at any time. This was done the moment Hitler came to power. Moreover, Germany was overcrowdod, had a serious unem ployment problem and was bankrupt, so could any dictator wish a sweeter set-up. With the driving out of the feared and hated Jews not only would the essential burning issue be created but there would at once be businesses to take over; paying jobs to fill, and last but not least, the appropriation of millions o dollars irorth of Jewish property, to fill tho empty coffers of the government. QO, perhaps Adolph Hitler isn't so crazy after all, or if so only in tho sense that no human being, without any moral sense whatever can be regarded as entirely sane. At any rate the more one learns of Hitler and Germany under his direction, the more clearly the fact appears, that from the standpoint of Fascist a maniac at large, as a Dictator, merely running true to form! In short from the standpoint of national behaviour in a civilized world, or rational government, a dictator to be suc cessful, must be a trifle insane. Cleveland Strives to Make Citizens Vitamin Conscious C LEV EI .AND (UP) -The Cleveland health council, theorising thst the city's diet largely is Inadequate, Is striving to make the citizens here the moat vltamln-consclous of any In the United Statea.

THE CKAVINO (Continued from Yesterday) It Is characteristic of alcoholism the disease, for the subject to as sert that he or she can 1st It alone without the aid of any treatment but that 1 the acid test of the deficiency or de generacy the fact that he or she can't avoid Indulging again, after a longer or shorter Interval. What I don't know about the nature of the disease, alcohol ism fills many vomos. I do know, from professional experience, that the method of treatment given to the medical profession by Dr. Alex ander Lambert In 1909-1910. restores r.ome of the most depraved bums to sobriety and industry, rids them of the craving. Any good doctor any where can administer this treatment, provided he can have full control of the patient for ten days to three weeks. Physicians may obtain all the details of the technique from Lnmbert'a original reports pub lished in the Journal of the Ameri can Medical association. September 29, 1909, and Feb. 9, 1910. A fairly comprehensive abstract of the meth od may be found In Forchelmer's "Thernpeusla of Internal Diseases," Vol. XI, p. 503-505. "At times I drank to excess," says a reader, "because I felt the need of a stimulant or Just wanted to feel better." "Pelt the need of a stimulant" and "Just wanted to feel better" may be Interpreted as manifestations of vitamin deficiency, especially defic iency of dally Intake of vitamin ,B complex and vitamin D, How much such vitamin deficiency, which Is common in people whose diet is chiefly refined foods, has to do with the craving for alcohol and tobacco, I do not know, but I be lieve It may be a common factor. Indeed the reader goes on to say: "But I have completely broken away from It now and no longer seem to need It since I have been taking a dally ration of vitamin B complex and vitamin D to supple ment my diet. My digestion and bowel action Is better ..." j Tt Is a well established principle j of medicine that alcoholic patients j are almost certain to suffer from i vitamin deficiency.

I know what that means now. I was mt nnding under the clock In the Blltmore to day, which used to be a famous meeting place tn the old days, and it all came back. It seemed for a moment as If It j were exactly aa . it had been or j that dim 6atur- : day of the mid- : die 1920's, when college boys wore coonskin coats, and everybody was drinking bathtub gin. and girls from every where came into New York on Satur day afternoons for the tea dansants. The same clock waa there and the same walls. But the faces were different. I remember on that day that everybody was speaking of Red Grange, and CoollV;o was president, and the orchestra kept coming back to "Tea For Two." which was new, and Dartmouth waa still undefeated, and It was November. I had come there from the frater nity clubs at 38th and Madison, where I waa spending the night, and I couldn't get over the excitement of meeting F. Scott Fltrgerald. who had been In the lobby when I regis tered. I had a bottle of gin wrapped up in a newspaper and oa I placed It on the desk a young man with a gny sort of wnat-thc-hell manner came in. He spoke to everybody ana pretty soon he came over and picked up the bottle that was heavily wrapped In a copy of the New York Times. "Ilmmmin," he said, sniffing It, "gin." And then he put It down and walked awny, and for a moment t thought he was a detective and that he was going to arrest me for breaklnn the law. But when he was gone I asked the clerk. "Who was that?" And he told me. "F. Scott Fitzgerald ' And I was pretty edited bevau wry body had inim m 1 111- jniai nvjr. ns everybody was reading '"Hie Green Hat" snd talking about Michael Arlrn.

QUESTIONS A ANSWERS , Insulated My father and I have an argu ment, and we hope you will settle it. Father says it Is dangerous, and I say It Is harmless for one with, ear ache to go out In the sunshine on a cold day for a while, with his ear stuffed with cotton. J. R. Anawer Father loses. I think it would be better for one with earache to take the cotton or other stuffing out of the ear before he goes out. In fact such stuffing should not be kept In the ear, except to absorb discharge if the ear is running, and theb It must be changed often enough to avoid Interfering with drainage or proper ventilation. It Is usually a mistake and harmful to keep the ear plugged. Let the air exert Its natural healing action. Gentlemen Only It would be of supreme Interest to your readers afflicted with en larged prostate to obtain, through your column or by mall, the experi ence of some who have taken -your advice and submitted to operation.

In a tree, having Just found a place to sleep. tThe national convention of the Gran see Is being held In Oregon's metropolis, snd hotel rooms are about the most precious things In existence. What you want, you know, Is pretty apt to be the thing you haven't got and don't stand much chance of getting. Hotel rooms In Portland certainly fall Into that class thla week-end).

These Grange delegatss ooUeot In the lobbies Along toward evening and have a grand time visiting with each other and talking over the events of the day.

C. to hear and meet Mary Pick ford. From her subject, we expected to hear a peace-at-any-prtce talk, and we got a "Spirit of ft Liberty Loan" patriotic appea for Interna tional Justice, an attack on 'Hitler as the "Madman of Europe" ("Mad as a March hare, that fellow," said Mary), and a demand for adequate preparedness, especially In the air, and heavy taxation to foot the nec essary bills. One witty gal and they are legion In this elutj had hoped she would talk on 'love and lotions," Mary be ing in the cosmetics business now but we noticed the many questions following the address were prepon derantly thoughtful and purposeful. Miss Plckford told of a hotel man ager in Germany sadly remarking that It was good to see her and her niece dressed in simple dinner gowns, as no one ever dressed for dinner in Germany any more; and of a California frtend. wife of a Ger-. man. who said she would give the world to get away, 'but that they would not be allowed sufficient money to get away. Miss Plckford found one man afraid to talk to them when he found they had about 80 marks in money fearing he would be Jailed along with them. She said no use selling them United Artist pictures which they didn't like any way, becauso the money could not be taken out of Germany. FRIENDS of ours who fl.ro relatives of the first Mrs. Fairbanks, (mother of Doug Jr.), now Mrs. Jack Whiting, discussed the similarity be tween Doug Sr.'s flrat and second wives. Jack Whiting Is a popular stage and screen star. Beth Fairbanks Whiting Is a number of years his senior, but reports have it they are Ideally happy, that she Is his con stant traveling companion, prompter, and Inspiration. Aleo that she Is . mart, extremely attractive and very young appearing. Likewise, ' Mary Plckford, now wife of young "Buddy" Rogers, Is as petite, pretty and golden haired as when "America's Sweet heart." and, apparently, ageless. In sisting that 'time Is only the noise the clock mskes, nothing more.' (Our one comfort was that she DID use glasses to read !) she wore a stun ning black velvet ault trimmed with sable and a smart, small black hat perched on the right eyebrow. At the guest table to greet Miss Plckford sat Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the secretary of state; Mrs. Swan son, wife of the secretary of the i , . of agriculture; Mrs. Roper, wife of secretary of commerce: Mrs. Wm. K. norfth. Idaho; Mrs. Arthur H. Van den burg. Michigan; Mrs. James J. Davis.

AN OREO ONI AN in Washington wishing to be remembered to old friends In Medford, particularly in the park service where she worked for two yesrs, is Miss Oeraldlne Thompson. Miss Thompson Is one of the accredited civil service employees from Medford. and is now with the aertcultura.1 department, stationed at that fabulous experimental horticul tural plant at Beltsvllle. Maryland (Just across the District of Columbia line). Many visitors to Washington spend at least a day there, becoming familiar with the scientific develop ments in orchards and gardens. For 6TB AND PIB the sake of variety, wa hops some day to find someone who doesn't like the work in Washington. Miss Thompson disappointed us, however, by declaring her satisfaction with and Interest In her position. The Capital Parade " (Continued from Page One ) Tlnced by long eiperlence that the people are fundamentally Isolation ist, the high career men of the de partment advocated great restraint in dealing with the fascist nations. Empty gestures of doflance or dis approval, however brutal the fascist provocation, were always opposed by the career men. As a consequence, liberal critics, who have the unpleas ant trait of suspecting the motives of their opponents, have called the career men "pro-fascist." Nothing oould be more significant, therefore, than the sharp alteration of opinion among the career men. The president's denunciation of the current paroxysms of nart bestiality Is a case In point. Ill-lnformea persons, who think this country can be the world's moral mentor without assuming a mentor's responsibilities, glory In the presi dent's defense of decency, without thinking through to the conse quences. The career men, on the other hand, thoroughly understand that the presidents words were a step toward intervention abroad. They see the chance that Ambassador Wilson and Ambassador Dleckhofr, now both homeward bound, may never return to their respective posts. They know the meaning of c pos sible break In diplomatic relations. And they approve. Opinion among the career men has j changed for a simple reason. Before Munich, they and everyone else In ! the state department clearly foresaw that economic conflict with Germany was Inevitable. But they expected the i conflict to end there, because, liko everyone else, they thought that the , democratic nations of Europe were ' a first line of American defense. If I Germany goes too far, they thought, , she will have to fight England; Eng land will win. perhsps with some assistance from us toward the close of the struggle, and ( that will vir tually let us out. Munich's meaning, ss It has fin ally been digested, Is that the sup posed first line of defense Just Isn't there. There are certain possibilities, to be sure. The will and the power to resist may be stronger In Great Britain than It now seems. A va3t eastern European empire has already been resigned to Germany, but haJf the empire remains to be conquered, and perhaps Germany will stumble in her march to the cast. The pro cess of subduing their new empires may also be too much for tho Ger man allies, Italy, and, even more likely, Japan. But these are only possibilities. Meanwhile, besides the public dif ference on the Jewish question, this country Is already Involved In a bit ter dispute with Germany over Bra zilian trade. The prospect Is for con stantly worsening relations. And the United States must be prepared for the worst. One way of preparing for the worst- strengthening potential friends abroad Is repeal of the Spanish embargo and the mandatory clauses of the neutrality act. The state department Is likely to test the country's capacity for realistic thinking by asking for one or both of these when congress convenes. I'D RATHER HAVE OOP!
