The dirigible Hindenburg’s 1937 maiden voyage which ended in flam ing disaster when the airship ex ploded just before landing at Lake hurst, N. J., marked the first time that Capt. Max Pruss commanded the sky liner on a flight from Ger many to the United States. Last year he was a subordinate officer when Capt. Ernst A. Lehmann and Dr. Hugo Eckener, the veteran Zep pelin expert, handled the ship on her regular passenger schedule. He was schooled in Zeppelin work tor a quarter of a century. HEADS U. S.

The doctors assert that tonsilitis in dogs is a common ailment in some parts of the country. AROUND >h. HOUSE Items of Interest to the Housewife Fitting Your Hat—If you have a tight felt hat, hold it in the steam of a boiling kettle. When the felt is thoroughly damp it is easy to stretch it to the right size. * • * Milk Puddings Orange peel shredded very finely makes an ex cellent flavoring for milk pud dings.

What will posterity think is the funniest about ours? True history is the record of the progress of the human spirit. You can not really like an ego tistic man, but at times you ad mire him.

Hindering Others A VEXATION arises, and our expressions of impa tience hinder others from tak ing it patiently. We say an un kind thing, and another is hin dered in learning the lesson of charity that thinketh no evil. We say a provoking thing, and another is hindered in that day’s effort to be meek. We may hinder without word or act.

The Real People— The solid gold in human char acter is all that holds society to gether. How cold law is, considering that it has to deal so much with affairs of sentiment. Wounded vanity makes the bit terest enemies. One regrets his past about as much when it has been full of emp ty boredom as when it has been full of sinfulness. It is softies who object to critics. Criticism — good criticism — is what there is not nearly enough of. But there are overwhelming oceans of gush. A good scold is preferable to a smearer of mo lasses. Some one said long ago that “Today’s crisis will be tomor row’s joke." Strikes us that the funny paragraphers have been making jokes about today’s crisis right along.
