The proverbial “bulldog grip” of
the bulldog does not result from
obstinacy or any other quality
but from the construction of the
animal’s mouth. The lower jaw is
longer than the upper jaw, and
therefore it is physically impos-

there is any tension on the object
being gripped.

These excerpts are from the
“Manual of Good Manners” pub-
lished in 1844—quoted by Arthur
Train in “Puritan’s Progress”:
“Never be squinting and scowl-
ing and examining the victuals, to
see if you can discover a coal or a
speck or a hair; if you find one,
take it out decently, and not make
a great ado about it.”
“Eat what you need before you
rise from the table; and not be
picking and eating afterwards.
Never pocket victuals at the table,
it denotes a thievish disposition.”
“When you have done eating,
clean your plate, knife and fork,
lay the bones you have picked in a
snug heap by the side of your
plate, scrape up your crumbs, and
cross your knife and fork on your
plate.”
“Speak not at table. Laugh not at
table; it shows unthankfulness.”

The International Exchange in
Granville, Ill., is a monument to
the unparalleled swapping ability
of one man—“Trader” Redshaw,
says Collier’s. In the past 24 years,
he has run a dozen 25 cent foun-
tain pens into a warehouse full of
such articles as furs, gems, paint-
ings, statuary and Oriental rugs.
In one "sight unseen” deal, Red-
shaw traded a houseboat in India
for a banana plantation in Central
America which, in turn, he
swapped for a block of real estate
in Detroit.
§3888
Postwar German
Underground Seen
There is nothing new to Europeans
about an “underground monument”
which might be defined as a group
of persons, united by an idea, which
persists as an opposition to a partic-
ular government with the purpose of
eventually overthrowing that gov-
ernment.
With the defeat of Germany it
can be taken for granted that two
German movements will begin to
burrow, perhaps retiring to “pre-
viously prepared positions” in the
language of the communiques of a
retreating army. They are the Junk-
ers and the Nazis.
At the present writing, for the
first time in history, military con-
trol of Germany has been wrested
from the hands of the junker-gen-
erals. They did their best to act
on their ancient adage: “We as a
caste, must always live to fight
another day.” A lost war to them is
an incident and considered merely a
temporary set-back on the road to
eventual world-domination. To that
end they planned a peace before
their ranks were too greatly weak-
ened or their resources exhausted.
But the Nazis stepped in, wrecked
their plans. As a caste they will
probably be completely destroyed,
their estates and therefore their
means of livelihood removed. What
many people do not know is that
the German high command had their
own private funds, voted by the
government, which they managed
themselves for the benefit of the
army.
Whether the Nazis have obtained
this, remains to be seen. But in
any case, you may be sure the burn-
ing patriotism of those junkers who
survive will keep an underground
organization alive.
And then comes the Nazis, with a
younger but equally fanatical loyal-
ty to national socialism. Their un-
derground organizations we know
are already prepared.
Meanwhile there is a strong sus-
picion on the part of many persons
in Washington that a third breeding
place for totalitarian militarism is
being cultivated right here in the
Western hemisphere.
In the past weeks I have received
several letters and one telephone
call protesting against the action of
the state department in breaking re-
lations with Argentina. So far as I
could tell the persons who communi-
cated with me were perfectly honest.
They all stressed the known fact
that the chief characteristic of the
Argentina attitude is traditionally
“pro-Argentine,” nationalists. The
inference was that the government
was not anti-North American or pro-
nazi-fascist, and should be let alone.
As a matter of fact, aside from
Argentine’s own alms there seems
to be evidence that the German
Nazis and perhaps some of the Ger-
man Junkers are transferring their
wealth to Argentina.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the Buenos Aires government
has aided and abetted in the spread
of nazi-fascist propaganda and is
that, at this very moment looking
sympathetically on the activities of
Nazi agents within its borders. The
army has long been indoctrinated
with Prussian militarism through its
officers who have been trained in
Germany.
Unless the United States takes the
lead in applying sanctions in the
form of a strict embargo on Argen-
tina, we may find ourselves with a
full-fledged war of aggression on our
hands right here in our own hemi-
sphere.
In the case of Argentina we may
be witnessing not only the growth of
a powerful military dictatorship but
one which will be used te nourish
and sustain the very forces which
we have spent our blood and wealth
to suppress in Europe—an “over-
ground” underground.
German dentists have been or-
dered to restrict their care of pa-
tients “to urgent measures.”
Jellied vegetable and fruit
dishes which may be prepared be-
fore the sun goes into high noon
are a boon to the housewife on hot
summer days.

ing the White House—John Quincy
Adams to the house of representa-

son to the senate in 1875.
-Jones has helpers who give their
60 Bundays, or longer periods, from
-she White House staff, the offices of
■cabinet members, senators and con-
gressmen. If it weren’t an election
year he thinks he’d have quite a
showing of the senators themselves.
But what he takes most pride in is
the service folk. This includes the
girls, the WACs and the WAVES,
-and the Marines and the SPARS,
as well as the sailors and soldiers
on duty here or convalescing.
Tells It to Marines
With Good Results
The other day a tobacco farmer
over the district line in Virginia
{Jones’ territory doesn’t run more
m. than 125 miles from the White
0 House) wanted to clear an acre of
Bs- thick timber needed for firewood—it
takes a lot of smoke to cure the
p tobacco for your smokes. He
couldn’t hire help locally. Jones
"‘told it to the Marines” (female)
and some 50 answered with action.
They cut the timber (trees of about
28 inches), sawed it into eight-foot
lengths, piled it up.
And soldiers and sailors seem glad
to take a week’s furlough to go out
and pitch hay, get in the wheat and
tobacco crops, or turn a hand to
. any other little chore. They say
Llg they consider it a great relief from
" loafing around a hospital or guard-
tag government buildings or doing
any other of the strictly military
jobs they have.
Even among the groups of girls,
Jones says you’ll find enough who
can run a tractor or hitch and drive
a team of horses. One group cleared
five and a half acres, cut the trees,
sawed them up, burned the brush.
And there is no shortage of civil-
