So long as Hitler lives off the
fat of other lands and is egged on
by his henchmen, we may expect
no improvement in his manner*.
Hitler’s general meanness and nasty
temper is attributed to his excessive
diet of fat and eggs by one medical
theorist. Too bad that butter and
eggs should be indirectly responsi-
ble for the downfall of little Czecho-
slovakia and Poland. Maybe the
peace-loving German people should
have kept their Jews and sold their
chickens and cows.

Now that our nation is bumping
its head against the forty-five bil-
lion-dollar ceiling of its national
debt, many are wondering whether
Uncle Sam is going to bump thru
the ceiling, reduce expenditures or
levy more taxes.

One thing is very certain and re-
assuring about the European war:
Our dear Uncle Sam is not letting
them have the money to buy pow-
der and lead. That ten billion dol-
lars Europe owes us is still a very
sore spot with us.
One of the three
things will have to be done.
This job of census-taking, though
a bit unusual, is certainly not an
innovation of modern civilization.
In the 24th chapter of the second
Book of Samuel is a story of a great
enumeration of the people that re-
quired nine months and twenty
days to complete. Nowadays, how-
ever, it doesn’t take nine months to
count the people. If it did the en-
umerators over here would have to
do plenty of backtracking, due to
the increased birth rate as a result
of the European war.

Number Seven, who is classed as
a columnist, desires to thank his
Excellency Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel
for his recent tribute to “stinking-
out-loud coluipnists.” His remark,"
though undoubtedly not so intend-
ed, is a compliment to all column-
ists who openly disapprove of his
administration of government af-
fairs. This in view of the fact that
such columns do not stink, even to
the floury and fastidious nose of
the Governor, until the record of
that estimiable gentleman is trans-
posed to cold type. Which indicates
that it is not the columnist, but the
thing the columnist holds up for
view, that stinks.

That sun spot soon fails because
the gas pours in and takes fire.
If there were to come a solar
storm sufficient to douse the

and the surrounding park cities.
The latter would go out along

TASTES DIFFER
State Press in Dallas News:
So you saw that aurora-bora
thing at Talco, did you? They
saw it at Higgins, Texas, too, as
the Higgins News reported. The
phenomenon seems to have
skipped Dallas, or at least wasn’t
noticed. Our people probably
were at the movie. Those solar
cyclones do play havoc some-
times. They blow great holes
into the gaseous element of the
sun and the atomic shower con-
sequent to the stQfm affects our
terrestrial communication sys-
tems. Our communication sys-
tems depend on electricity and
electricity is sensitive to solar
influence. The fact is that the
exact nature of electricity has
never been discovered. We only
know how to make use of it, to
make it work for us and to re-
gister on a meter. Neither has
science entirely grasped the
sun. All the scientists know the
sun is s great gob of burning
gas but nobody knows who set
it aftre or what would happen
if the fire went out. The sup-
