BRISBANE THIS WEEK Herr Goebbels Brags One American at Best ' Mother Was "Mean** Another Hapsburg In Berlin, Herr Goebbels, minister of propaganda, praising Hitler, says, ?There will be no kaiser or king." He might have added that none is needed, since in Hitler Germany has a kaiser, king and dictator, "three-in-one." Herr Goebbels boasts: "Hitler does not start the day asking 'What do lead ing bankers say?' Rather, bankers be gin the day asking 'What does Hitler ?ay V n Germany has no monopoly of that condition. Herr Goebbels will be sur prised to bear how many bankers and other gentlemen in this country, who once thought they had money, begin the day asking, "What does ltoosevelt say?" One American at least is out of his troubles forever. Mr. Medlock, forty sight years old, rents cotton land in Greenville county, South Carolina, and thought he knew how much cotton he | ought to plant to pay rent for his farm. After he had finished planting, govern- i merit Inspectors measured his cotton fields and ordered him to plow under I three acres. He had gone beyond his allowance. Medlock complained to his family for two or three days, then went behind the barn and shot himself through the heart, deciding that he. In stead of the excess cotton, should be ??plowed under." Little Nora Ruth Niclforos may with confidence recite the prayer: "For give us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us." Be cause she had been disobedient, her mother, as shown in court, held the six-year-old child's fingers over a gas flame, "burning then! severely." The child's mother, sentenced to 35 days In jail, was freed when the little girl told the Judge: "I love my mommy. I was a bad, bad girl and picked things up after she told me not to. She never was mean to me before." It Is to be hoped that the mother will never be "mean" to her again. Prince Von Starhemberg, In a pri vate conference, saw Dictator Musso lini, and gossips suggest that Mussolini will encourage Austria to restore a Hnpsburg, the young Otto, to Austria's throne. Otto, young heir of fhe Hapsburgs, Is extremely good looking, would deep ly Interest any movie director. Ilut, why people as Intelligent as the Auairians should think of taking on another ilapsburg after what the last ilapsburg did to them Is hard to understand. There is little enough left of Austria Dow. Do the Austrians want Italy or Germany to take that little, or divide It between them? Never adopt a plan unless you know All about It. William Bryant. In the Louisiana penitentiary, read about Dilllnger's "escaping from prison with the aid of ? toy pistol, made of wood, terrorizing guards by the dozen, taking away their weapons.** A newspaper clipping about that pistol was found on Bryant's body after he had been shot dead, trying the same "wooden pistol** escape method. Bryant and his fellow convict, Wil liam Chandler, whittled out two toy pistols?two surely would be better than one. They and eleven other con victs that followed them were all killed, wounded or caught. It Is a pleasure to hear from the United States Chamber of Commerce that there are "only" seven millions out of work In this country. Mr. Green union labor head, says ten mil lions, but the chamber says that is "exaggeration.** On tlie other hand, statistics show that one family In every ten In New Tork city Is -getting home relief." which is our substitute expression for the dole. In New York 671.S0G persons are on the dole, 7.030 more than the previous highest record. That does Dot indicate diminished unemployment. Government says It will "bar profi teering'- on food, following the drouth. Many administrations have said that, many times, but there Is no "bar." Where there Is a scarcity there will be profiteering, and there Is a scarcity. Secretary Wallace says It will In crease the cost of living 6 to 7 per cent next winter. 81korsky, who made the biggest pas senger plane now flying successfully, the S-42 Brazilian clipper, predicts "50-ton aircraft." three times as big as S-42. The 50-ton, beavter-than air ship will come, pass and seem like a toy com pared with real airships of the future. Columbus. In his tiny caravel, might have predicted a sailing ship 100 feet long. He could not have dreamed of a ship 1,000 feet long, driven by steam. The San Francisco Chamber of Com merce, reasonably, objects to removal of the government's gold from Cali fornia to Colorado, with "earthquake hazard" offered as an excuse. Cali fornia wonders. If the government's real reason was fear of attack from across the Pacific, why It does not say SO. Kin* FVnturp* By nd loot#, I DO. WNU Sor-rleo.

BARRETT Accidents by automobiles seem to be on the increase. Fatal injuries caused by automobile ac c i d e n t s in 1933 uuuiutrrtru Biigiiuji over 850,000, and deaths amounted to 29,900, an in crease of 700 over the previous year, Occasionally, one hears of an insur ance company can celling the double Indemnity payable on death by Occi dent The premium on accident insur ance has also in creased due to the additional hazards Involved. We are not surprised at this when we read in a recent city report that during the "first five months of 1934 there were 540 fatalities, or 100 more than In the corresponding period of 1933." Upon examination of exhaustive re ports on automobile accidents occurring last year, one is astonished to discov er that the majority of these accidents are not caused by mishaps to old or second-hand cars, but to new cars.

Pin money was the name given to allowances which were meant to be spent on trifles. This was when pins were scarce, and wom en wanted money with which to buy them. Pins were not considered essen tial, but desirable luxuries which in dicated incomes above the necessities of life. To have pin money was a mark or evidence or riches. Toaay with pins a com m o n commodity and necessary ar ticles, the term pin money has been superseded by that of allow ance. I have dwelt on the name pin money, partly be cause mothers can help their little folk to earn their allowances by pick ing up pins. When I was a little girl I was given a pen ny for each six pins I picked up off the floor. Pins from anywhere else could not be included. Needles countea a penny each. They were scarcer and consid ered more dangerous to have where they could be trodden on, and perhaps broken. You can imagine how clear the floors were kept from both pins and needles, and how we children rev eled in the days when the seamstress or the dressmaker came to the house to work. Today vacuum cleaners can be damaged by gathering up pins and needles, so why not let the youngsters earn some pin money by keeping the floors free from pins and needles, and thereby help fill their wee purses or banks with the proceeds of their labor? Mother's Helpers. Mothers can make their little folk feel they are making money and this is so like grown-ups in the business world, that they rather relish the idea. At the same time she can be getting the youngsters to help her in her housework. For example I know of one mother who used to put a penny j on the window sill of each bedroom i where she wanted the beds made. The penny went to the child who made the bed In the room. I can assure you the beds were made early in the day. The mother inspected the work, and com mented on it favorably when the beds were well made, and made suggestions 1 of how to improve the making when she was not satisfied. She did not find fault, but made helpful suggestions, such as telling the child how to i smooth the under bedclothes well to i make the spread smooth, etc. There are always some tasks for lit tle hands to do and they will be will ing hands If they get some remunera tion for their labor. After all this is one way of helping children to learn what it means to be self-supporting. It is a method which works to the ad vantage of the employer, who is moth er In this case, and the employees, who are the children. The Worker and Her Work. Once upon a time when there was no depression at the moment, a great i thinker, John Ituskin, wrote "No amount of pay can ever make a good soldier, a good teacher, a good artist, i or a good workman." It is a saying that contains an undeniable truth. It is not pay which makes any work good, although good work is worth good pay. Just what good pay Is de pends upon the age or era. For exam ple, in the World war prices soared to phenomenal heights. In the recent de pression prices were extremely low. Just now there is the gradual return to the normal. But whatever the pay for the work, its excellence should not be influenced. The worker should endeavor to reach a high level of ex cellence and maintain it. The underlying idea in the saying quoted is easy to find. There is a per sonal equation in all work whether it is craftsmanship, cooking, carpentry, plumbing?and so through all trades and arts. The worker decides wheth er he will do his or her best, or wheth er it shall be good only when the pay is high. The crudity of making the money value the criterion of excel lence is recognized in a moment And yet there are persons who slight their tasks unless pay is high. ?. Bell Syndicate.?WNU Service.

Two "courting mirrors" used by the Pilgrims when they wanted to ask young women to marry them are among the treasured antiques at the John Alden home j here. They hang in a bedroom of the three | century old house. In those days, when a young man was about to propose, he carried a "courting mirror" to her home. When he was admitted he laid it on the liv ing room table. If she picked it up and looked into it during his visit, it was her way of accepting him. If she did not gaze into it, the young swain was out of luck. The John Alden house Is the only one in existence in which any of the original Filgrims lived.

Did I ever tell you about going up to the strike in Frisco. FTT7. its. / . _/?. J U'oH I hoH aa I IAIJ j, you been to the , general strike In ; England away back r In 1926. So I wanted to gee what one that we would put on would do. Orer In England I never saw anything ag - quiet In my lite. Why I used to walk the streets wishing -1 two dogs would" e 11 n snmp fiiHtpmpnt U&Ul JUOl WW ? ' ~ -f ? Not even a newspaper was published. Well 1 had always been going around bragging, (and every time 1 met an Englishman) complimenting him on the stability of his race, the feet on the ground attitude that the English man is famous for. 1 used to say why if we ever had a general strike in any part of our country, one halt would kill of the other half. Well then along comes this one up in San Francisco, and so I grabbed the quickest plane and up-1 went. Got in there at night Everything was as quiet, no street cars running, no taxi cabs, and the pilot had to drive us In from the airport. Just a few restau rants was open, 18 to be exact This was the night of the first day of the general strike. The strikers allowed them to open. As you went to enter your hotel there was a guard or two on deck to see you dident enter, unless they knew you, or if you had previous ly registered there and had your reg istration card from the clerk of the hotel. Prowled around quit a bit that night. Quite a few private cars, not many people on the streets, but all quiet. The National Guard soldiers that were on guard there and had been for a couple of weeks. They were stationed down on the water front, dident see them till the next day. Well then I went over to see General Johnson. Found a bell boy, (Oh yes, all the hotel help bad to stay In the hotel, as they were supposed to strike to). Cafes were closed but they served you meals in youi rooms. Well this bellboy was delivering General John sons pants that he had pressed, so I grabbed them, and delivered em to him in person. If it hadent been for me the General wouldent have had any breeches. He was Just going to start out that morning to break the strike. He was to go to the University of Northern Cal at Berkley, thats the branch of the University of Cal which is at Los Angeles. He was to be given the By-Feta-Fy or the Phy Sigma Gama, or some one of those Greek elks club affairs..He was to get a key. Well its funny but the whole aspect of the strike changed when it was made general, and it began to interfere with your business. You can be in favor of something, (and lots of good folks were) but when they saw the trucks that was moving, moving with a sign on em saying it was by permission of the strike committee, well all that rubbed em the wrong way. They got to thinking. "Here look what this might lead too, to have somebody tell you just what you can do." Well the old American spirit bobbed up, and that really was the beginning of the end of the general strike. I have read that one never did win. It just is not in the cards. Lots of time individual strikes when they are Just, and conducted ? Inner fain linn, I Onn have won their case, and they should, for manu facturers have as sociations for their mutual betterment, bankers have asso ciations to see how they can help each other out, and there is nothing fairer ' than workmen hav ing unions for their mutual benefit Its helped to Keep wages up In San Francisco, and Its a strong union town, but when the people felt that the Reds were running the thing, and that It wasent really done for the sole benefit of the striking men, but just to raise the devil generally, why the folks turned against em. Even Mr. Green head of the whole Federa tion said it was a mistake. But what 1 want to get over Is that the people were just as down to earth, as peaceful, and as law abiding as you ever saw. Again a dog fight would have constitued excitement. There Is lots of Reds in the Country, but you would be surprised at the amount of Whites when the real showdown comes. This strike will do more to get em weeded out than any strike for its been proven that they "Gummed" this one up. So the minute one starts telling some other union gathering what to do, some body will holler, "Yeah, what about San Francisco." Things are brightening up. men with money for Industry when they see they have a good chance to run their busi ness, will start running it again. If we just had some more jobs. Thats whats needed. e 1934. Uc.\**glu Srmdut*. /M
