Thia^38 St°n~The cadent tread 0f Nazi army boots on" the cobof picturesque towns In the Rhineland recently echoed around the world because of its effect upon international relations. But to many residents of those towns, history was merely re-_ peating itself. Periodically for 2,000 years the Rhineland has been a battlefield.

For four years a garrison of Americans kept the 'Wacht am Rhein' at Germany's Gibraltar, the old fortress of Ehrenbrdt^dn^^^^j^^j^^pn>. L. ••j'jjg Rhineland, now transformed from , a demilitarized into a danger zone, embraces the territory west of the Rhine up to the boundaries of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and a 50-kilomerer .(Mi-mile) gtrip .along the east bank. This is an important slice of Germany. The Rhifjeland, indeed, has been the dominant factor in the commerce, history, legend; 'music, and literature of the German people. "Although It rises in Switzerland, •empties through the Netherlands, and has lost part of its west bank to France, the Rhine is essentially a German river. It*winds 800 miles from Alps to ocean, creating picturesque scenes and prosperous activity wherever it goes. From Bingen to Koblenz it ? pours through a steep gorge of rocky crags crowned with robberbarons' ruined castles, blown up by the French more than a century ago.

Of that number 23 million are going to kindergarten and elementary schools. High school, doors opened to 6,000,000 young people and more than 1,000.000 young men and women are gathering on college campuses. Many Stop Midway John W. Studebaker, commissioner of education, estimated that only one half the sons and daughters entering high school this fall will graduate four years hence. Only one, of every three 1936 high school graduates is numbered- &mong college freshmen and only one of every two entering j college this fall may be expected to j grasp a degree in 1940. Responsibility for instruction of $he huge School family \Vill' fall on approximately 1,018.000 teachers in public and private sehools. One-fourth of this nation's school teachers are men and 75,000 of those offer instruction in elementary grades. When depression budgets for school purposes brought a decrease of 21,000 elementary school teachers thrq^ffhout this country, there was an increase of 7,1000 in the number of men teache r s .

City schools will be open 182 days, but attendance will average ortly 157 days. Every day, Commissioner Studebaker said, 4,000,000 children are absent from school, but attendance records are being improved by surveys into the causes of absence. The total school population of the country is greater than the combined population of New \ork, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

This city now is an important medical center, although patients are outnumbered by visitors who come to see the university and the restored ruins of elaborate" Heidelberg castle. "Many medieval ruins have been repaired sulliciently to serve as youth hostels for the numerous students on walking tours through the Rhineland.

Washington.--With disclosures of details of the recently discovered nasal spray to be. used for the prevention of infantile paralysis, thousands of parents today looked to the United States public health service for initial tion of tests on human beings. • A result of two years experimental work by Dr. Charles Armstrong, med-. leal scientist of the public health service, the new solution contains picric acid, water and a pinch of salt. Thus far efficacy of the nasal spray has been tried only on'monkeys. Doctor Armstrong announced- tests Soon would begin on human beings. It is known the solution Is harmless, but its power against infantile paralysis germs has not'yet been tested. In his report to the health service, made known recently. Doctor Armstrong revealed he had tried the solution himself and found n,o ill effects. He warned parents against concocting homemade solution of the ingredients. Armstrong's theory is based on science's definite knowledge that infan- :<tile paralysis germs make their way Into the human body .through the nasal passages and the mouth. Picric acid, a powerful astringent, closes tightly the pores of the nasal passages. JOHNSBURG Joe Schmitt and Clemens Freund left Thursday for a trip to Wisconsin. Mr. and Mi^.

PORTLAND, ME.--The Presidential election will be a "choice betwten free enterprise, under which the humblest citizen has a chance, and a_syst§w_of invasion bfpnva(te rights characterized by a million signs: "By Order of the American Government, Keep Off!" declared Gov. Alf M\ Landon in a speech before a" vast throng here. • He define^ the issues of tlie campaign: • .. "Do we want the Government prying into every little detail of our business lives? "Do we want the Government forbidding us to ;pia^jda£t,j^ "Kint:Jnour own fields? , "Orr "Do we want to be free to plan for our future? "Do we want free government in America?" Coming of European System. Under the American system of free enterprise, Gov, Landon said, people have been free to plan for thergselves and their children, fen9T£iflg tnat their goal was limited only by their own ability, subject to no handicap of birth or class distinction. But, he pointed out: "Then came the N.R.A.! With the enactment of fois measure in 1933, our" government, without manTdgte of the people, adopted a new find completely different philosophy. When I say 'new', I mean new only in the sense that it was new to. this country. It was a philosophy well known under the autocratic governments of Europe. "This philosophy decreed that prices should be regulated," said Gov. Landon, "not by demand and supply, but by government edict; that wages and hours of employees should be fixed, not by free and fair negotiations under yules assuring equality, but by officials in Washington; that the sort of competition which must be fostered, as the life-blood of free enterprise, should in future be prohibited by law . . , NRA Lives On. * "What the N.R.A. really undertook to do in this country was to terminate our system of free competition, and to substitute for it a system of government-created and government - protected monopol i e s . . . v "The N.R.A.' was the beginning in America of the movement which, throughout the worlaj^ has been sweeping aside private enterprise in favor of government control--a movement which has been substituting arbitrary personal authority for constitutional self-government. "But--you may say--the N.R.A. is dead. - "True enough. The National Industrial Recovery | Act is dead,; thanks to the courage and integrity of the Supreme Court. ' "But the spirit of the N.R.A. lives on. It lives on in recently enacted laws. It lives on in the efforts of the Administration to get around the decisions of the Supreme C<^urt. It lives on in this Administration's 1936 platform. It lives on in the recent public utterances of the President and his spokesmen. May Lead to War. "But above all, it, lives on in the spirit of the President who has confessed no error--who has let it be clearly known that he considered it would be a catastrophe if the American farmer should 'once more become a lord on his own farm' . . . "It" was no accident . that Congress delegated its functions to the President. ... ' "ftower of this magnitude is riangerous^ from the economic as well as from the political point of view. No man's judgment is sufficiently infallible to justify giving him control-- either in private business on in government--over the standard of. living, the savings* and the" destiny of his fellow citizens. When the decision of one man affects an entire country, a national disaster. "The Republican Party opposes unlimited executive power for another reason. This reason is that the world-wide trend away from democracy means but one thing-^that one thing is WAR. Any weakening of democracy here, means, the final rout of democracy everywhere. . . "The temper of the American public is no longer complacent. It has definitely set its face against monopoly and unfair trade practices. The pledge in our platform is not mere words. It does not mean to me fruitless inquisitions that impede recovery and delay re-employment. To me it means no* only the steady relentless enforcement of existing laws but the strengthening of those laws. And it meains the enactment of such additional legislation as is necessary to put an end to monopoly, unfair trade practices and all special privilege. Only if we follow this course can we escape the system of government regulated monopolies sponsored by this Administration. 1 "If you do not believe this, you .had better not vote for me. For I am pledged by the Republican platform to save our system of free enterprise,'^ Inspiration DAVID K. ADAltS 6 McClure Newspa.p«r SyndU^Lt*, - W.NTJ Servlc*.

Sylvia To\vjes j|ld not say no. She wTote tTiat she ^vould be plfid to come to Kverett and to sing for the benefit of the hospital fund under the auspices of the Woman's club.

Charlotte was. not so sure. ^'Pon't you suppose she ever knew how we felt about her?" x : "Well, here's her acceptance. She wouldn't come if she didn't want to." "I'll do the best I'can . . ." The evening of the concept came and Sylvia Towles was duly^ registered in the late afternon at the I'Jaza. The city hall, chartered for 'the occasion, was sold out. Kate and Dot gave the stage a' last critical survey, it was only a little dingier than on graduation night eitfht years before. But the roses, for which they had scraped-together a small private fund from Sylvia's classmates, were lovely. ' At eight o'clock every seat wastaken. The curtain rose. Charlotte, gracious In a mulberry velvet gown, moved toward the footlights and waited for" the rustling of programs to cease. "Citizens of Everett, It is a pleasure to welcome to her home community a daughter of this city.

She" returns to share with us the gift-of her great talent, and we are honored by her presence." The applause died away, - then was renewed as Sylvia, bowing to Charlotte, entered from the wings followed by her accompanist. Her full sweet soprano filled the room and the plaintive tenderness with which she succeeded in rendering the old familiar songs left them somehow with a -feeling that she herself had plumbed the depths of the human heart. The sipgle encore with which she closed the program, "Love's Old Sweet Sopg" left them breathless for a Fong moment. Then the applause was overwhelming.
