“A Free Ride to Doom”

ELLO EVERYBODY:
I've seen a lot of articles lately, in newspapers and mag-
azines, warning automobilists not to pick up strangers along the
road. Well, sir, today I'm going to warn the strangers not to get
too chummy with these doggone automobilists.
And I'm not more than half kidding about that, either, boys and girls.
It’s a poor rule that won't work both ways, and you can get in just as much
of a jam picking up with some bird in a car as the bird in a car can by

worked his way up by continuous
and diligent Jew-hating. While less
earnest and industrious young men
were wasting their time, he was
working nights, Sundays and holi-
days on this, his chosen career.
Against stiff competition, it took
him years to gain distinction, but
at last he came to outrank even the
illustrious Julius Streicher in long-
distance anti-Semitism.
He was born in the Palatinate,
the south German territory adjoin-
ing the Saar. He was in the World
war, in the closing years, and joined
the Hitler movement soon after the
Munich beer hall putsch in 1923.
He was a good rough-and-tumble
fighter and organizer and was ad-
vanced rapidly in the more overt
and violent party drives.

moved as Saar commissioner, in
1934, and made

Technique Buerckel replaced
him. Under his su-
pervision was the jug-handled pleb-
iscite and his the exultant radio
voice which told the world that
German justice had triumphed.
The League of Nations handed
him the valley, and he became gov-
ernor in 1935.
A typically forthright ukase was
his Christmas decree aga shop-
ping in Jewish stores.
“If you try to get out of it,” he
said, ‘‘by pretending that your wife
did the shopping, it merely shows
that an unreal Nazi spirit prevails
in your home, and you are not a
he-man, but a fool.”

Spain's Romeo and Juliet
The “Lovers of Teruel,” Spain’s
Romeo and Juliet, form one of the
most ancient legends of Spain. They
were Diego de Marcilla and Isabel
de Segura and lived in Teruel dur-
ing the Thirteenth century under
the reign of King James of Aragon.
They parted because of family dis-
approval and languished and died.
Their bodies were mummified and
they were buried in the chapel of
the church of San Pedro.

And so there began a long se-
ries of experiments in the labora-
tories of great universities all
over the world, which demonstrat-
ed what happens when a diet is
deficient in any of the vitamins,
and proved that if laboratory ani-
mals are wholly deprived of vita-
mins for a short time they will
die.
These experiments are of the ut-
most significance to every home-
maker, because the same thing
happens to human beings as to
experimental animals. Today our
knowledge of vitamins has pro-
gressed to such a degree that it
is possible to state the exact re-
quirement for most of the vita-
mins and to designate the foods
from which adequate quantities
can be obtained.

VITAMIN C FOR TEETH, GUMS
Vitamin C plays an important
part in regulating body processes,
and prevents the dread disease of
scurvy. A lack of this essential vi-
tamin results in profound changes
in the structure of the teeth and
gums, may be responsible for
hemorrhages occurring anywhere
in the body, and for the degenera-
tion of muscle fibers generally.
