Camden Man Warns President of Danger If the United States had to go to war the nation would be in the same humiliating state of ynpreparedness that forced France and England to accept Adolf Hitler's Munich dictates, Bernard M. Baruch. international banker and chairman of the war Industries board, said last week after conferring with President Roosevelt. Baruch was Mr. Roosevelt's overnight guest. He emphasized that his opinions were his own although he and the chief executive reviewed the European situation. He was, delineating his views to Impress the countrv with the status of national defense' which he described as tragic. "We ought to be ready to defend our homes and not find ourselves In the humiliating position that France and England did," ho said. "And I know what I am talking about. "Mr. Hitler knew that Franco and England were not prepared to come to grips at this time over the CzechoSlovakian issue. He was ready to move but they were not. Consequently the so-called Munich .peace was due to one thing ajul one thing alone the tin preperedno&s of England and France." * The man who dicected the nation's second line of defense during the World war?the production of war supplies?emphasized that he wanted to make one point: "I believe America is unprepared? I know it. Wo have a good navy but the army Is not first class. He added that the army is using outmoded equipment and that If war came there would not be sufficient arms and resources to put troops in the field. Bernard M. Baruch is a native of Camden, having been born In what is i?ow known as Ivy Lodge Hotel. k British government ^decision to put It# volunteer home defense force on a regular army footing has met with widespread and enthusiastic response in England. ^ The National Safety council's convention in session in Chicago for Its silver Jubilee, put an intoxicated pedestrian in the same class as s drunken driver as a traffic menace.

Crimlnologlata look np^ fingerprinting hn a comparatively new practice, but Mother Nature beat them to It by aome GO,OoO.OOO years, according to a UnlversIty of South Carolina professor. Yes, Mother Nature took the prints of dinosaurs in soft mud, hardened them into shulo that could aurvlvo the passage of millions of years and left them lying around for scientists to Identify, I>r. L. L. Smith, professor of geology at the University, says. A number of dinosaur tracks in shale are in the geologic collection of the University of South Carolina. Many of them, Incidently, were collected by Dr. Thomas Cooper, president of the University (then South Carolina College) from 1820 to 1834. Prealdon Cooper, described by Thomas Jefferson us America's most brilliant mun, was instrumental In the establishment of tho study of geology at tho University. When dinosaur tracks were first found, Doctor Smith says, scientists believed they were made by ostriches, because of tho three-toed prints, lint some wore found which were so largo that theory had to be ruled out. Due print in tho University's collection, for instance, measures twenty inches In length. Hut it was not until dinosaur skeletons were found in connection with tiie tracks that all doubt disappeared. Most dinosaur '-tracks found In America wore found In tho vicinity of tho Connecticut river valley. Win# u Pony?-Goes to College Chicago?Henry Shull and his brothers wanted a pony. And as a result Henry ts going to college. . It whs like tills. To get tlio pony they had to guess which two ponloa la a picture looked alike. They tried and tried, but somehow always Just missed it. Finally when Henry was a Junior in high tichool ho got it right, and the pony. Hut he was too old to ride it, so he sold it und saved the money. Thus Inspired, he entered more contests, and won in rapid succession a bicycle, an outboard motor used by Admiral Hyrd In the Antarctic, a trip to Mexico City valued at $;'?00, six cans of tuna fish, three rofrigerators, two watches, an automobile, and Quite a bit of prise money. Ho aold his second refrigerator for $N0 and invested the money in a camera. Ho was then able to take pictures and expand his contest activities Into the photo field, ho popular nowadays. He has so far won back $t>2 in camera competitions. Altogether Henry has won J3.500 in the last five years, and he's puy- v ing most of his expenses at Northwestern University with the money. Of course, , he says, it sometimes takes men I lis of research for one contost, but on the o their hand the entry which won him the new automobile?which he promptly sold?took only about 15 minutes.
