HOW TO SAVE MONEY
ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL'
Phineas Q. Twitch, Eminent Economist

Disconnect youf electric door-bell. What if your friends and neighbors do
bruise their knuckles knocking! You’ll save a penny a month. Naturally,
a penny saved is a penny earned. In only eleven years (at compound inter*
est) you’ll earn enough to buy another door-bell for the back door so you
can save TWICE as much by not using it!
Sell your vacuum cleaner and beat your rugs by hand. The money you
get for your old machine will buy several sturdy beaters and an ample
supply of liniment Then, every time you beat ten large rugs, you’ll save
a whole penny.
You can easily do ten rugs in a couple of days, after you get used to it.
The exercise will build you up, even if it does break down the rugs. And
the more you beat ’em the more you save!
Turn off your radio during "The Electric Hour” on Sunday afternoon.
Of course, you’ll miss Nelson Eddy and his guest stars and Robert Arm*
bruster's Orchestra, but you’ll save a sixth of a penny every time you do it.
In a year, that’s nearly 9c. And there's no music so pleasant as those copper*
clinking in your pocket!

Same Grade
The West Texas US Army
cruiting Service with enlistment
stations in Amarillo, Abilene, Lub-
bock, Big Spring 'and San Angelo,
Texas, today received a War De-
partment communication by tele-
graph which is of vital concern to
men who have been released from
the Army, and who are now on in-
active status In the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps, particularly those who
have been discharged more than
twenty (20) days, thus being in
eligible for retention of the grade
held upon discharge if the desire
to reenlist in the Regular Army.
According to the telegram receiv-
ed, all members of the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps on inactive status who
request enlistment in the Regular
Army on or before 31 January
1946, may be administratively dis-
charged from the Enlisted Reserve
Corps and enlisted in the Regular
Army in the grade held in the Re
serve Corps.
The telegram further stated that
‘■members of the Enlisted Reserve
Corps on an inactive status, who
request enlistment in the Regular
Army on or after February 1946,
will be administratively discharged
from the -Enlisted Reserve Corps
and enlisted in (he Regular Army
in tlie grade of private; except,
that such individuals may be en-
listed in the Regular Army in such
higher grades as may be authoriz-
ed by the War Department instruc-
tions in effect at the time of en-
listment in the Regular Army for
persons who are not members of
the Enlisted Reserve Corps.”

Reichstag Fire
In 1933 Laid To
Storm Troopers
MUNICH—A copy of a letter
written to Marshall Von Henden-
burg by a storm trooper fleeing
the Hitler blood purge declares that
Capt. Ernst Roehm, notorious head
of the storm troopers, supervised
setting fire to the Reichstag in
February, 1933.
Allied intelligence officers, dis-
closing contents of the letter Sun-
day, said it was written by Ernst
Kruse, who described himself as
the last survivor of 22 storm troop-
er who fired the parliament build-
ing.
Kruse wrote to Von Hindenburg
from Switzerland July 18, 1934, less
than three weeks after the purge
in which Roehip lost his life. He
declared Marinus Van der Lubbe,
convicted of setting fire to the
Reichstag, was actually a “madly
ambitious” member of Roehm’s
staff.
Tire Nazis charged that Van der
Lubbe was a communist, and he
was beheaded Jan. 10, 1934, on con-
viction of high treason and arson
in connection with the fire.
Last Active Member
"I am the last active member
of the party who set the Reichs-
tag on fire,” Kruse told Von Hin-
denburg. “For that reason I am
meant no longer to be alive and
probably like all my comrades
would have been shot long ago If
my chief of staff Hoehm hadn’t
protected me and kept me in his
personal entourage.”
The letter declared Roehm or-
dered Van der Lubbe to climb into
the Reichstag alone and set fire
to tire anterooms. Without Van
der Lubbe’s knowledge, the letter
added, the majn body o! arsonists
headed by Roehm was to set the
main hall ablaze.
“We assembled in the cellar of
the palace of the president of the
Reichstag (Goering),” the letter
said. Each member of the party
had sacks containing powder and
* roll of celluloid strips. The sacks
were placed In designated places
and the strips were unrolled to-
ward the cellar's exit.
“Jumping About In Hall”
When the group returned to the
cellar entrance Rqenm and another
storm troop leader who headed the
group ignited the strips. Roehm
had made sure that Van der Lub-
be was still “Jumping about in the
adjoining hall,” Kruse said.
"Serpents of fire in all directions
were encountered,” said Kruse in
describing the scene. “The air was
full and everything was cloaked in
a burning mist. We fled at once.
The work was done.”

da material against the commun-
ists, and had Ingratiated himself

end.

Carriers "give us
w/f/t the font/ distance toad
Carrier equipment, looking and operating something
like radio, makes it possible for one pair of long dis-
tance wires to handle as many as 12 calls at one time.
But even with carrier helping out, many lines are
still crowded and some calls are delayed.
Our new construction program—now going ahead
rapidly and at an ever-increasing rate—calls for a lot
of carrier. The goal is to provide as many circuits as
we need to get YOUR call tlirough promptly.
