EUROPE’S MASTER SPEAKS^
As in last vear’s September crisis, the entire world listened
with bated breath Monday to Chancellor Adolph Hitler’s speech
to the Reichstag. And. almost without exception, at its cohclu-
aon the ltsteners relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. For Hitler
had said-he looked for peace, and just now. what Hitler says. goes.
There was a striking contrast in the German chancellor’s
speech this week with his address in the Sp. rtspiiast In Septem-
ber Then his voice was shrill and excited, now it was controlled
and resonant Then he shrieked denunciation upon denunciation,
’demand upon’demand, and threat after, threat. This week he
gpoke wttfi the studied assurance of one who reafiam hit power
and Is not inclined to abase it. •
US' dedxrtng the solidarity of the f^ome-Berlin axis; tn re-iter-
atmg Germany's right to her former colonies, in demanding a free
hand In affairs exclusively German, in his denunciation of Jewish
Influences Hitler said only what had been expected. But It eras
what he omitted to say that brought relief to his hearers.
If he had declared for the immediate return of any specific
Wlonies. if he had specifically championed Italy’s demands for
Ylimsia or If he had announced his immediate Intention of *n-
Mxing the Ukraine, the sparks would have fired the powder house
that is Europe
..Instead he gloated over Germany's spectacular climb to power,
^plfied by the Greater Reichstag before which he speke Like a
Mon that is sated with a recent kill, he stretched his claws, bared
bis fangs, and then settled back peacefully to digest his meal
So while all .the world, and Europe in particular, is gratified
that no casus belli now has been declared, jittery statesmen in a
hundred capitals cannot banish the thought. “But what will hap-
pen when the lion grows hungry again’"

WHY PECANS ARE CHEAP
On December 19-21. 19M the Wage and Hour Division of the
-Department of Labor held, a hearing in San Antonio the appli-
cation of the largest pecan shelling firm in America to lower the
minimum wages of its pecan shelters for 90 days while the com-
..jpeny -installed machine methods of pecan shelling

balf the entire native seedling pecan crop of the United States.
Which means a still greater proportion of the Texas crop. In
two years it cleared one-half million dollars
2 Since 1926 all pecans in San Antonio have been shelled by
band. »
3 The average wage paid these hand-pickers has been from
Obd to S3 AO a week
4 As this amount is insufficient to maintain life in a city like
Dan Antonio, government relief agencies, churches and private
charities have been called an to bridge the gap between the sled-
cfer wages of the pecan shellers and actual starvation

"Reckless Driving” includes
driving habits of a deliberate
and purposeful character by
drivers heedless of consequences
or resulting danger to themselves
and those about them.'Most out-
standing In this class of drivers
is vfhat is termed the "Show-off
driver.” and then the “Fellow tn
a hurry'” and the “1-don’t-care
driver."
Reckless driving is nothing
short of deliberately taking
chances which are knoyra to be
dangerous and unethical toward
a fellow motorist. As it causes
approximately S out ef every M
deaths upon our highways or
foul and \cne-half thousand
deaths annually, we can readily
see that there is need of doing
something to stop It.
Where the careful driver ap-
proaches an intersection care-
fully and at a reduced rate of
speed, the show-off driver comes
into an intersection at the same
speed he uses on an open street.
A careful driver recognises when
the other fellow has the right-
of-way and yields all the space
on* the roadway possible to the
other fellow, always giving pe-
destrians the right-of-way at
street Intersections where there
are no traffic signals, but the
show-off driver yields no right-
of-way to the other fellow as
long as he can force his way
through an intersection or into
a Une of traffic.
Where a careful driver avoids
idden acceleration and sudden
stops because of danger of being
buir.ped by the vehicle following
him. the show-off driver takes
pride in quick acceleration and
sudden stops—not mindful of the
inconvenience and danger be
