PASSING T H E BUTTER

WORSHIP OF T H E NATION [ N SOME P A R T S of the world

there seems to be what might be called a new religion. That is the worship of the government , or the Uate, as they call it in Europe. In i count ry like Russ ia , for Instance, ;he government* throws religion )verboard, and t h e major i ty of the oeople seem to accept Communism is a kind of religion. The govern-ment takes the place ones occupied by religious fa i th . The nation is mbst l tuted for God.

They have not gone nearly a s f a r is t h a t in G e r m a n y or Italy, but the so-called " tota l i tar ian" state, a t tempts to put t h e regulation of laily life under the control of the government. The people ara told they have to obey the government, as they once were told they have to obey God.

In our country, too, we are told that we should obey the gove rn ment, but the government does not a t t empt to regula te all our lives. Under our American system, the people are f ree to choose whatever religion they w a n t to.

Can the nation be subst i tuted for 3 o d ? One trouble with th is con-:eptlon is t h a t the nation consists inly of human beings, all of whom i re more or less likely to error and n l s t ake . If everything is dccided by t h e heads of the government, they a re likely to decide on ha rm-ful a n d dangerous courses tha t get their people into wars, and produce nothing but t rouble or sorrow. Hu-man wisdom la a very limited thing, md we need something more t h a n >iuman guidance to find our way through the wilderness of this life.

People have d i f ferent views of the Bible but one th ing Is sure. The Bible comes n e a r e r than any th ing •Ise In the way of religion toward jhowing us the way to live. When that book is t h rown away and the arlll of any m a n or group of men la substi tuted, the nations seem headed for trouble.

ILLITERATE WORLD " T H E R E A R E SAID to be more 1 t h a n 600,000,000 people in t h e world who a r e unable 4o read or jsrlte. When you think of the vast hordes of darkneaa In Africa, of he many In China who have never earned to read , many would say .hat est imate Is too low.

T h e world ordinarily makes a {reat advance when people learn jio read and wri te . If the th ings hey read and wri te are forced on hem, and they have no choice, per-m p s they a ren ' t better off . T h e Soviet government of Russ ia is ad-ni t ted to have done a g rea t a tun t n teaching i t s people to read a n d write.

Served 12 Years Seeks Promotion

Menso R. Bolt, chlcf assistant prosecutor for Kent county, asks the voters to endorrc his rccord and advance him to the post of prosecutor.

Bolt Is tho outstanding candidate for the office In view of his 12 years' diversified experience tut prosecutor's aide. He served under B a n d J . Jonkman, now congress-man, and under proiecutor Fred N. Searl, who endoiires Bolt as his succeMor.

For a time, before entering the proiecutor's office, he was associ-ated with Cornelius Hofflus, now circuit Judge.

Mr. Bolt fitvorr competent and reasonable law enforcement, with courteous and Impartial treatment for all. He believes In and practices fullest cooperation with all public officers and agencies.

Believing that public officials and officers who have had experi-ence with the candidates know who Is best qualified to conduct the a f fa i r s of that office, Mr. Bolt has choMn as his slogan: "Endorsed by public, peace and court officers and officials. ASK THEM.'*

CONSCRIPTION: M/e« and Property*

Climaxing 14 days of debate in which a coalition of administration-ists and Republicans overcame the opposition of an anti-conscription bloc, the senate passed the Burke-Wadsworth conscription bill after in-serting an amendment authorizing the government to draf t private in-dustrial plants when such action ii necessary to insure production of de-fense materials. The roll call vote

is 58 to 31. Proponents of the amendment argued that "if you con-script manpower, you must con« script property, too."

The draft measure would require 1,000,000 men between the ages of 21 and 31 to register for a year of compulsory military training. En-dorsed unequivocally by President Roosevelt as an integral pari of his 114,000,000,000 rearmament meas-ure. the bill went to the house of representotlves where a fight loomed to raise the age bracket to 21 to 45—in eflfect doubling the res ervoir of potential draftees. Wen-dell Willkle during Ihe week had come out for a "draf t bill now" which helped kill delay attempts by the Isolationist group.

The senate actcd less than 24 hours after tho President signed tho National Guard mobllUatlon bill au-thorizing him to call out 408,000 stnto milltlamon and army reserves for a year of active service. The first contingent of 55.000 may be mobi-lized beginning St-ptember 10.

DEFENSE: More m d more speed is tho tempo

Lady Haw Haw is the name of an American woman who is broadcasting propaganda to U. S. from Berlin, much as Lord Haw Haw nightly talks to England. Friends of Constance Drexel, for-mer Philadelphia newspaper woman who was last located In Germany writing pro-Hitler arti-cles, claim to have recognized her voice.

Princess Elizabeth, who some day may succeed to the throne of England, celebrated her thir-teenth birthday with plain sponge cake. Icing was missing because of the sugar rations.

Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, U. S. minister to Oslo, and Crown Princess Martha of Norway ar-rived in New York on the U. S. army transport American Legion. The ship had passed through wa-ters Germany declared as mined. Washington had informed Berlin it would hold Germany responsi-ble for the ship's security.

DETOUR: Hitler Late

Delay of Adolf Hitler In orrlvlng in England Is atlrlbuttd in Washlnf-ton to Spain. Plon was for Otneral Franco to attack Gibraltar first. That would seal British ships In the Mediterranean, and make them un-available to battle Noil transports In ths channel.

Franco begon a press campaign to work up the Spanish people to-ward this end. He had students march in the streets crying for Gl-braltor. But just then a British mission arrived in Madrid. It prom Ised Franco food for his people Im-mediately and a share in control of Gibraltar after the war.

Franco hurriedly sent a delega-tion to Berlin to get a counter offer. Ho dccided to play both ends. It 's an old Spanish custom. Meanwhile Hitler's blitzkrieg was stalled.

SHELL GAME: On the lieaches

Supcr-guns capable of shooting tremendous ranges long have been hinted to be Germany's much-her-alded secret weapon. So when shells began falling on the British Dover cliffs, thousands of residents packed their worldly goods and scampered Inland.

However, the distance from Do-ver to tho gun emplacements on the French coast is hardly more than 20 miles. Most modern powers have coastal guns that will shoot that dis-tance. They are the same 12 and 14-lnch guns carried on battleships.

The German shelling didn't last long. British guns.with the same range opened up on the German em-placements.

In the Air Raids by Marshal Goering's Luft-

waffe on British Industrial and mili-tary centers grew progressively heavier. Gradually more attention was being paid to London and the visits extended as long as six and seven hours. High explosive and Incendiary bombs were dropped and the air ministry admitted the toll of casualties and property damage was growing. Fires swept over fashion-able West End as well as the poorer workingmen's sections.

The British returned the calls promptly. In murky flying weather they dropped in on Berlin several nights In succession. Heavy explo-sions were heard on Unter den Lin-den, Berlin's Broadway. The Ger-man war office said, however, only suburban spots had been hit and the central city was untouched.

OVER 35 years ago Jack Chesbro stepped out ond blew himself to

40 Yankee victories. A few years later Ed Walsh moved into the 40-game set, a record whish doesn't in-clude 10 or 12 other games he hap-pened to save. Walsh that year worked in 66 ball games.

Under changed conditions It may be that Bob Feller will never reach

the 40-game mark on the winning side, but with any luck at the age of 21 he will

t sit in the 30 win-. nlng-gnme division I this next fall with

such all-time per-formers as Christy Mathewson, Grover Alexander, Walter Johnson, Smoky Joe Wood and Lefty Grove. Matty and

Grantland Rice Alexander reachcd this mark on three

consecutive occasions. But Feller is headed for the same

.fertile country at the age of 21. There is no telling what heights he might reach If the draf t or war doesn't Interfere. The Cleveland star Is without any question the greatest young pitcher in baseball.

Matty was just getting under headway at 21 and Alexander was 24 when he came to Philadelphia and hung up 28 wins. But at 21 Feller is all ready to join the pick of the flock.

If the world ever settles down to something like Its old normality there is no telling how many ball games Blasting Bobby might put away before he checks out.

Right From the Start Feller was an amazing kid from

the s tar t He came to Cleveland In 1936 at the age of 17—a big, raw-boned kid with a great pair of hands and a great pair of wrists.

You can Imagine the feelings al-most any 17-year-old player would carry Into action, facing his first start under the Big Tent. Not Fel-

BOB FELLER

ler. He lacked control, but from the jump he was as cool as a slice of cucumber on ice.

After whifflng 17 of the enemy In one of his first games, the Van Meter phenom was r trifle too keen on the strikeout path for some time. This wrecked his control. He was also a bit lopsided at holding runners on base. But he has long since cured both faults. He has added a good curve ball to his speed.

Feller has the poise and balance of a much older man. He has shown no sign so far of an enlarged head, no sign of kid freshness with older men.

A fellow like Feller will mean a healthy package to Cleveland when the stretch running begins a few weeks later on. And a fellow like Feller can turn a world series up-side down, if he gets the chance.

The Reds' Sad Story When I sat on the bench a short

while back with Bill McKechnie his Reds had a nine-game lead and they looked to be breezing. It was the first t ime I had ever seen Uncle Will breathing normally with his pulses in order. You could see that with this lead, plus Derringer, Walters and Thompson, his worries were just about over.

But they arc not over now. It has been suggested that Wlllard

Hershberger's death had a depress-ing effect. But the sliding had start-ed before the young Bed catcher ended his life.

The shock began when the Giants beat Bucky Walters In the game that Walters had tied up In a true lover's knot in the ninth Inning with two out The Reds have never quite re-covered from that s h ^ k . Later on the suicide episode didn't help.

They were due for a slump, but no one looked for any such August dip. They still have the call with the pitching they have, but the old easy-going gallop Is over. As some philosopher has said, "There is also gameness In front running." In fact, there Is plenty.

The slayer, who entered Mexico on a forged Canadian passport, says he was born In Syria of Dutch par-ents. Held with him is a Brooklyn civil service worker. Sylvia Agelofl. She arranged the introduction of Jackson to Trotsky, but is believed not to be a part?' to the murder.

Anti-Americans Active (Continued from front page)

"Facts In Review", the official German propaganda organ Id the United States, haa a reported mail-ing Hat up Into the hundreds of thouaanda. Hundreds of profes-sional people Including college fac-ulty members are on the list In Michigan.

Following a pattern set in the last World war, all out-ln-the*cfpcn propaganda is aimed at upper class America. In April, 1917, when Con-gress declared war upon Germany and assured the sending of Ameri-can troops overseas to Europe, the masses were quite indifferent to the Allied cause. Official propagan-dists center attention on the pub-lic leaders, while their hidden agents spread isms among the workers.

This combination is at work to-day in Michigan.

War Talk Rises

With the rise of war talk by in-terventionists who believe sincere-ly that the United States Is head-ed for a head-on collision with Fascism. Michigan is bound to ex-perience an intensification of fifth column activity.

The centering of huge armament contracts In this state will contrib-ute much to make Michigan a bat-tleground for espionage, in the Judgment of state police officials.

Sabotage

Scores of Michigan plants have received Important orders for arm-ament supplies from British and American governments.

As long as the tempo of war action continues to mount, state police detectives are apprehensive that espionage agents will attempt sabotage of production.

It is emphasized that the state police are cooperat ing with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the G-Men unit.

They are ready for any emer-gency.

]V4 AC TAVISH and I are behind the eight ball again. We found an

old moth eaten flour bag hanging on tbe line in Murphy's yard. Mac and I pulled it down and kicked It around a bit, but it didn't last very long. When we got through with it, that bag looked like the stuffing out of a dime store teddy bear. Old Man Mur-phy must have heard us, because be bounced out the back door like a rubber ball and chased us down the alley. We scrammed through Sni-der's yard,* and old Murphy tore bis pants going over the fence. That was bad enough, but when be let go and fell on bis head that's what really chilled him stiffer than an icicle. He hobbled over tonight and told Clara that Mac and I had chewed up his Sunday shirt. If that flour bag was a shirt, then I 'm a tap dancer. Clara gave him two bucks for a new one, and now I have to stay in the back yard. (Released by Weilern Newepaper Union.)

Looking Back to Kitty Hawk Whether Orville and Wilbur

Wright, who realized Roger Bacon's prophecy and Leonardo da Vinci's dream, ever foresaw the iky full of Messerschmitts, Helnkels, Spit-fires. Airacobras and the like—is a question that some expert in the short hiitory of aviation may answer if he can.

Boys Who Hit Sour Notet Should Avoid the Jungle

Music in the African jungle if a serious business, says Dr. Wilfrid D. Hambly, curator of African eth-nology at Chlcago'i Field Museum of Natural History.

Certain dark races have punish-ments that fit tbe crime of blowing sour notes or dropping a beat. The proper technique on the native drums or other musical instruments is no bit-or-miss affair. The boys who make "moosick" better strike the right note first or else—. Those that don't get their ears cut off, U.elr mouths slit and the offending hands chopped right off.

Any American jazz band planning an African tour better leave at home that saxophonist who wails off key, or drummer who "fakes sloppy" on the traps.

Where bitting a false note or dropping a beat is such serious busi-ness the boys who made good occu-py a high social position. But their Job isn't only entertaining the other boys and girls. The Jungle drum-mers send messages to other tribes from 5 to 15 miles away—as tbe sound flies. If any mistakes are made, there's no second chance.

Any traveling awing band that could bring home a certain kind of African drum would certainly be a h i t A wooden rod sticks up through tbe drum bead. Tbe player just rubs this protuberance witb • well-resined band, to bring forth wails and groans ear-splitting enough to please the most confirmed "jitter-b u f / '

Returning from leave, a young army officer was about to take his place in an airliner when a girl ran up and asked the passengers if any one of them would be kind enough to sell ber a eeat, explaining that her mother was dangerously ill and the liner was full.

The gallant young officer gave up his seat and wired his commanding officer; "Given berth to a girl. Re-turning by next plane."

Shortly af terward came this re-ply: "Congratulations. Your next confinement will be in the bar-racks."

I t appears to m s that in order to protect society, you must spend more money to "keep" tbe caught felon Indefinitely than to catch the uncaught felon.

Fanners Advised Not to Bank on War Price Boom

Commissioner Be a m e r Says to Be Careful Of War Af te rmath

Speaking at the Tuscola county farmcrs picnic, Agricultural Com-mleeloner Elmer A. Beamer said that only by keeping our produc-tion on an even keel and preventing any wild speculation will we avoid a prostrate agriculture as an after-math of the war.

"This Is the time," he said, "for agriculture to keep Its shirt on and not step up production simply be-cause we are told of the starving conditions and need of food In war-torn countries.

"Farmers should plan normal operations, they should farm In an efficient way, and erase from their minds the Idea of Increasing their production with the likelihood of making any money out of this war.

"During the World War thou-sands of farmers took the money they received for their crops and used It for speculation. Some spec-ulated In land, others In stocks and bonds, with tho result that nearly all of them lost heavily. Thle past experience should teach farm-ers this time to use any Income re-ceived from temporary increased prices that might come as a result of the war, to get out of debt. Im-prove their equipment, repair their buildings and fences and keep their soil fertility.

"Good farming will mean lower cost of production and the farmer who has the lowest acreage cost of production will be In the best po-oltlon in case of any emergency. There Is no better place to foster Americanism than on the farm. Farmers still believe that a govern-ment of the people, by the people and for the people means some-thing. ^

"A survey of the storage and warehousing facilities for agricul-tural products indicates that Mich-igan has ample available space for all the commodities produced In the state and there is no question that If It becomes agriculture's patriotic duty to produce more food, Michi-gan farmers can and will help do it.

"If the time comes, I am sure Michigan agriculture Is willing to sacrifice, but will oppose any system whereby industry reaps exorbitant war-time profits and labor receives $1.50 for an hour 's work while the fa rmer Is receiving ^1.50 for a day's work with his Investment thrown in. We will expect labor and Industry to sacrifice with us.

"My fellow farmers. It Is our duty and obligation to avoid. If possible, a prostrate agriculture as an after-math of this war."

Glata Now Can Solve Alao the Photo Problem

A new heat-absorbing plate glass has been discovered to help solve one problem of millions of.amateur photographers—not to mention pro-fessional picture makers.

Although designed principally for store windows in which perishable goods are displayed, the new glass known as "aldo" will reduce heal from photo enlargers — a major source of damaged or destroyed neg-atives. Placed between a hot in-candescent lamp and a fragile nega-tive in the enlarging process, the glass absorbs so much of tbe radiat-ed beat that tbe negative scarcely becomes warm.

Another use for the heat-absorb-ing glass is to screen flood lights during the photography of flowers where fast work ordinarily is neces-sary to prevent drooping caused by the heat from the huge light bulbs.

Could it be that there a re three scientific names for each disease In the practice of medicine and three price tags?
