MAKING IT CLEAR
TO ALIEN BORN NAZIS
No more vigorous or more profoundly Amprjcan paper has
emanated from our state department in many a year than
the statement of Secretary Hull on the duties of our alien-
born citizens.
It tera satement made in direct answer to the declaration
of Minister of Foreign Affairs Baron von Neurath, before the
Stuttgart congress of Germans residing abroad, that all Ger-
mans wherever found owed allegiance first of all to Nazi prin~
oiples and tl)at interference with Nazi organizations qn for-
eign sofT(the United States, for instance) "Would not be tol-
erated.”
Secretary Hull, after reminding all those who acquire
United States citizenship of their oath of allegiance to the
flag and the constitution, to “defend them against ail enemies,
foreign and domestic,” says:
“It is thus clear that, with their new allegiance, their un-
divided duty is the support of our constitution, our laws and
our flag.”
This oath also, says Mf. Hull, means that “they absolute-
ly and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity
to any foreign prince, potentate, state or soverign, and par-
ticularly by name to the prince, potentate, state or severignty
of which they were before citizens or subjects.”
This means in unmistakable terms that natives of other
•ft*
lands, who seek the blessings of liberty here and who are re^-
ceived into citizenship, owe all their allegiance first and last
to the United States.
As Secretary Hull says, there can be no such thing as a
divded allegiance, half alien and half American-—Sah An-

Green is 100 per cent loyal to what
he believes to be the best inter-
ests of trade unionism.

BROADER SCALE FOR LEWIS
Lewis is endeavoring to provide
ALL labor with a voice.
His definition of labor is pratty
broad, too.
fie includes all kinds of crafts-
man (of the A. F. of L. type), so-
cafled "common labor’’, white-col-
lar workers, domestic servants,
farm hands and even farmers, if
not in so exalted a class as to rate
more as landlords than farmers.

RAIL FATALITY RATE
CUT 25 PER CENT SINCE 1923
Since 1028 the railroads have reduced their accident fa-
tality rate by approximately 25 per cent, according to the an-
nual bulletin. Accident Facts, just issued py the National
Safety Council.
There were 1,033 fewer railroad accident fatalities ip 1936
than in 1023. These figures are an indication of the increasing
care on the part of the railroads within their own organiza-
tions.
Safety Efforts Successful
While passenger and employe fatalities have decreased
74 and 65 per cent, respectively, grade crossing deaths have
decreased only 22 per cent, and trespasser fatalities have ac-
tually increased 2 per cent during the same period. This in-
dicates that the railroads have been successful in all branches
of safety effort under their complete control.
Ip presenting accident figures extending over a period of
23 years, the report shows the excellent results which have
attended the CQmpaignjs for safety constantly waged by the
railroads. The most important reductions, according to the
bulletin, are in railroad passenger and employe fatalities.
When we think of crime our thoughts turn to bank rob-
bers, highwaymen and the like, but there is more money
stolen in the rackets prosecuted in the cities a thousand
times over, than has been stolen by all the thieves and rob-
bers apd highwaymen of all times. The old stage coach robber
and the train robber have about disappeared from the scene,
but their successors, the city racketeers are holding up men
and women ip broad daylight on a scale that makes the old
timers look like a bunch of petty pikers. No big city can be
said to be well governed long as this type of leeches plies its
trade.
Ailments That Cause Spots

Examination by an oculist shows
normal vision and some spots seen
by the ophthalmoscope in the
liquid yitreous of the eyeball. The
patient describes them as floating
strings.
Spots before the eyes are of two
general kinds—due to nervousness
or actual opacities in one of the
chambers of the eye.
There are two chambers inside
the eyeball, one in front of the
lens and one behind it. The front
chamber is filled with a thin fluid

It is called the "aqueous humour".
Opacities in this chamber are,rare.

BARCLAY ON BRIDGE
Nothing washes a constituent up with his congressman
more completely than to have the congressman fail tP
answer the constituent’s letters. A constituent will forgive a
congressman’s vote on nearly any bill. The congressman may
even go through a whole session and be marked absent three-
fourths of the time, and the constituent won’t notice it, but
let the congressman fail to answer one letter and the consti-
tuent knows his interests are not being Looked after in Wash-
ington.
The little black striped animai known as the skunk,
whatever his other failings are, is at least honest. He never
pretends to be anything^blse than what he is, a skunk. One
can't, say so much for the two legged variety of skunks. This
member of the species likes to sail around under false colors
and lead his victims to think he is something other than what
he really is, Just a plain, common, barnyard variety of a
skunk.

MAKING a defender ttyrik that

only if you have fine opponents

He crushed het hard against his heart.
This is the way you saw me.”
All that she had done, her own
mistakes, her own impulsiveness
was revealed to her.
Then, very carefully, she put
the telephone back on its stand
and pushed it away from her.
It was dark in the salons as she
ivalked through them to the
bronze doors.
At first, when she saw him
standing there before the window
where her name was spelled in
gold letters, she thought it was a
dream. It was a vision she had
wanted to see.
For half a minute she stood
motionless, her heart in her
throat. ‘_
Only an instant she paused and
theq, with w-ings at her heels, she
ran quickly into the locker rooms
back of the salon.
"Oh, 4et him still be there!”
she prayed as she wrenched the
lockers .open one after another
until she found,wl)i« she wanted.
She picked up an old beret, ruf-
fled her smooth hair into curls
and pulicd on the beret as $he had
seven years before on a February
night.
There was a trench coat in one
of the( lockers. Her sables fell
to the floor, forgotten as she
hitched the belt tightly about a
\4aist that was as slim as ever it
had been._ If only she had a port-
folio. There was one in Letitia’s
office but that was upstairs and.
he might be gone—
Her heart pounded against her
ribs as she ran back the way she
had come and let herself out of
the bnonze doors.
He was --till there.
There was a lump in her throat
at the thought of his nearness.
He -didn't hear her footsteps,
hadn't seen her come through the
bronze doors.
He was turning away when she
slipped her arm through his.
Even as once she had done, he
turned coldly, saw her and neither
of them had any words. Or any
need for., words.
Mari swallowed and tried to
speak. “Oh, Tony!" That was
all she could say, all she needed
to say. It told him everything.
Even that she knew’; that she
knew he loved her, that he had
paid her the highest compliment
he could—he had come across the
Atlantic to see her in her moment
of triumph. Her eyes, clinging to
his, told him that she loved him.
Silently she turned him back
toward the big glass window and,
blowing there with her breath un-
til there was a veil of steam, she
wrote above the name of Mari-
barat, TONY CASTLE.
Then her eyes opened wide with
the pantomime question.
Tony rubbed his fingers across
the name, erasing it
“Oh, no, Tony!”
He pulled out his pockets to
show her that they were empty.
“That doesn’t matter!”
“This is the reason," he said.
He held out hia hands. The long,
delicate hands tfet she could
never forget were paint-stained
now.
With a finger colored an Indian
red, he wiped away a tear that
slid down her cheek. It w-asn’t
really a tear; it was a diamond
that spilled off a corner of the
stars that were her eyes.
“I’m broke, darling."
“But you paint! And you can
paint in Paris for a few months
in the year. Oh, Tony, look!"
Again she blew her breath on
the glass. Again her finger traced
the hame CASTLE. And now the
name was MARIBARAT CAS-
TLE.
Again her questioning eyes met
his.
“Oh, my darling!” he said as he
crushed her hard against his
heart, “Will you NEVER get over
being impulsive? Please don’t!”
The gendarme frowned, twirled
his stick importantly, whistled
without effect and looked the
other way.
“C’est I’amour,” he murmured
and went on his way.
