Atlanta Aftmin Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry At Ions last the Allies have bombed the hideout of Herr Hitler in the Bavarian Alps. In asmuch as the same general area shelters the lodge, home, and chateau of Goerlng, Hlmm ler and Ribbentrop, top-rank co monsters of the runt Austrian paperhanger and paranoiac, who completely mesmerized the Ger man people. The raining of dynamite and steel upon this hallowed region has long been delayed. It should have come to pass Immediately after the above named did their diaboli cal damndest to blast the palace of the King of England. It gives hope that soon the Munich beer hall, a shrine of Nazism, and the Mikado's steel roofed royal quarters In Tokyo, will be piles of rubble and ruin. They have long been sacred territory, and quarantined against war's de struction, - Citizens are still dating this and that, and what have you, in "44" and planning to do some thing on February 30th. They are In the same boat as the le gions unable to repatriate their watch from the Jeweler, foil themselves repeatedly with snappy twists of the wrist to tall time. ....... ' ' Dime Flyna and V. Brophy, early spring Grandpa ws, art back from the clouds, but still can't keep from goose-stepping with Joy, while not giggling. ITS DIFFERENT NOW (The Dalles Chronicle) "The Salvation Army in vaded the Jail this morning and conducted services there in. As Otis Savage was the only person In Jail, he re ceived enough tor a whole Jail full of sinners. We have the utmost respect for religion, but we must confess some as pects do not increase our veneration. If that was . part of Savage's sentence, It Is all right, but if not he ought to be allowed a rebate." (60 Yrs. Ago Col.) Youth Is now at large with .22 rifles, with a wide choice of targets. Investigation shows that they Invariably miss a tin can and unerringly hit a street light fixture for which there is no replacement for the duration. The high chair Is now "out moded" as a means to feeding the baby, and besides is as dan gerous as a step-ladder to Grnndmaw during the spring nousecieanlng neriod while trv. lng to hang a curtain. The "hiiih horse" Is also becoming obso lete, Sweden. Switzerland and Spain being among the nations gradually coming down off ineirs. "The Grange dress show came off at the hall Tuesday with many present, and was much enjoyed." (Cornelius Items) raigni ne called "fitting." a GEORGE AN ISOLATIONIST (S.F.

Ia 'f UJO Editorial Correspondence Los Angeles, Feb. 10. A week-end her is like parade military and naval. The place is packed with them and espec ially fliers a fine, stalwart, clean-cut bunch, too, some with more than one row of service stripes, and all having a good time. Talk about MORALEI These boys surely have it, the old Spanish Conqulstadores who ruled sunny California many years ago have nothing on them. Yes, they have a cocky, conquering way with them. We spent Sunday walking around the down-town areas, for the most part, and returned with a new pride in out country and her fighting men! It is hard to believe any country in the world has produced their equal on land, sea or in the air but especially in the air! We had a chat with one sun-tanned pilot, down in the Mexi can Plaza, invalided home after a year In the South Pacific. He didn't look like an Invalid, but there was a shell fragment In his side and he could only sleep on the right, he claimed. We asked him if he could explain the U. S. superiority in the air respective casualties ranging from 10 to 20 to 1. Were we REALLY as superior to the Japs as that, or was it propaganda? a a a . He said he didn't know at first no doubt they are ordered not to talk to strancers. Then after a little further conversation said he thought the official reports were experience would hardly bear such in team play and smart tactics he over Nippon like a tent. 'They have plenty good machines," ne added, "especially tneir new fast fighters, and they certainly have no yellow streak about 'em; they LIKE to fight and die to me they don't fight together, seems to be the chief trouble with 'em they are gallery players: they take terrible chances and that's what we are instructed not to do and we don't. I think that's the answer, if there is one." Had luncheon with a Dane today a Dane from Copenhagen and he had snuff all over his teeth. He had spent over a year on Omak island, near Alaska, wielding a 10-pound sledge he claimed he was in the first world war, not in this one too old. He look ed about 28, incldently, but swore by all the Gods of Valhalla he was 58, and exhibited an American Legion membership card to prove it. However, let that be as It may, extremely virile one and had many tales to tell about the Ger mans and his native Denmark. He HATES the Germans always has but he thinks they are really more efficient than any other nation in the world, can do more with less, and are not going to be easy' to beat this time, because they realize If they quit they are all through and washed up for two or three generations at least. And no nation, he added, Is going to commit suicide If it can be avoided. So he thinks (this will be Interesting to G. T.) that it will be not months but YEARS before anything approaching Deace or law and order are established from the North Sea to the Polish corridor. He was a big, husky chap, wore sutal covering, no necktie or collar, Just a blue woolen shirt, but an air about him of good humor and health especially the latter that somehow carried all before him. Incldently he told an amusing game warden in the royal hunting grounds in Denmark now de ceased. Father had a most luxuriant growth of whiskers, and came over to visit his son who then had a ranch in British Colum bia. There were no skunks In Denmark, but there were on this ranch, and Father, true to the game warden tradition, went out to check on the varmints, when he ran into a type of animal he nan never seen Deioje. Son was danger, but "Papa" refused to take me sKunK. rne sKunK employed the one protective defense ll has, but due to Papa's whiskers there was no effective penetration at first; in fact, until the funny little animal with the white-and-black foliage had been captured, Papa had no Inkling of what he naa suiierea men gradually with the varmint firmly In his Game Warden grasp; he remarked: "Vat an UNusual pleasant odor!" Well, girls and boys, that was the story, as Johann told it. Wt merely pan it on for what it may be or may not be worth!! We railed to note when recounting our "Daylight" trio, of a week ago that wa met M. Dale nice cnat wiui mm. He is the man who makes specialty of fancy Job printing and constructing model trains he bought the Leon Haskins property 3 miles south of Medford on the Pacific Highway, and came down here to replace (H possible) some of the machinery ne lost in tne lire of a lew months no doubt. , Just a week ago we arrived seems much more like a month! Here is a significant note regarding L. A.; Up at the Orpheum, on Broadway, Sally Rand, middle-aged and slow on the feet, is being paid $2,000 a week for her fan dance and packing them in, they say. (She was at the Chicago world's Fair 10 years ago and then not exactly a debutante) At the "Mayan," on Hill, a play advertised as something that would make "Tobacco Road" blush, entitled the "Maid From the Ozarks," is also playing to crowded day!) And yet mark well! they wonting gais up before the municipal court on cnarges of 'inde cency" because they put on some sort of a strip-tease performance on Main Street here In L.

News Behind The News By Paul MaJlon Savannah, Ga., Feb. 23 A nation on the threshhold of world victory could hardly be believed to be as discouraged, disheart e n e d and confused as I find the people down this Atlantic seaboard. Disillusioned partic u 1 a r 1 y are the youths with whom I have talked, in Paul Halloa cluding youths in the service. and the wives and families of service men, some of whom have lost their family heads In battle. They rather generally report of their own class: ' "We are becoming a lost gen eration, without much faith of any kind or morals. How can it be otherwise? What is there to tie to?" a a a THE POOR man, rich man, business man and banker talk and act as If they are in the same boat. I met one old Negro above SO years who had returned from employment in the Brook lyn navy yard, where, he said, he received a wage of $52.50 a week. He was looking for work as a yard man, cutting grass and raking leaves, for which he insisted he must get $52.50 a week, not a nickel less. The confusion among this class of workers is pathetic. fcJOT Many of the large winter ' homes of northerners have been opened this year, and those who have come south in droves seem to have come for reasons of health. There is no Joy any where, and no amusements ex cept the same movies and bars they have at home. , Everywhere there is evident a feeling against the rich, fanned constantly by the cur rent periodicals out of New York, which hold that the test of whether a man is fair and honest these days lies in the single factor of whether he de nounces the rich. A revolution ist deception is being practiced upon the people in this manner. a BUSINESS men in the southern A' r-i t i da hava nelrnH m a nlnln. tively: ' What will become of Florida when the rich are destroyed completely?" They forget the history of the rich. Revolutions never abolish riches, only change the class of those who are rich. Before the civil war, the southern planter and the New England mill owners were the rich of the country. Since then the southern planters have been poor. In more recent years the New England mill owner nas Decome poor. Then came the rich class from the west. from railroad building, lumber and gold. This class also Is now nearly extinct. In the Coolidge-Hoover era we had business fortunes built up by the Fords, Dodges, Du Ponts, and also by the financial rich of New York. These for tunes continue only as they arc productive, only if they can make fresh money from day to day In large quantities. In the present day the rich man has no place to hide what in i mjiiii Iff uyw i;i'u ii ik'JfWiMiiii .i v (WHO...) I Mj IDOCITIWUl lit II I MYIS0Y f f yK?

The rich of this war era also are a new class not the old established businesses, which are limited by excess profits taxes, but new shipyards and new industries not bound to the same extent as United States Steel and General Motors for instance. ... ALL Except this new class of rich are as disillusioned and despairing as the worker In the war plants, because their fu ture carries no greater assur ance. Most of them have bought farms in expectation of getting enough money to eat anyway, when "the blow" falls. Don't forget, also, there are rich in Russia. The revolution there has also merely created a different class ot preferred ew. The true test of whether riches are justified under capi talism is whether they produce for the common man pay taxes which ease the burden of gov ernment, produce good Jobs at good salaries under good Work ing conditions. Only the bunk propagandist, or the fools who are deceived by them, want to destroy cows who can be made to produce good milk.
