JAPANESE BLOW-UP?
Don’t be surprised if there is a
blow-up brewing in Japan not un
like that which nearly bumped off
Mr. Hitler recently. This columnist
oas reason to believe that things are
teething inside Japan right now and
that the die is cast against the
Fascist military clique at the top.
It was groups of young Fascist
officers who shot Tokyo’s leading
tnoderates back in the days when
It was not yet definitely decided
that Japan should conquer Asia
Now the moderates are able to say
“I told you so,” and are beginning
to get the upper hand.
The Emperor probably will not be
a victim of the revolutionary tur
moil, for two reasons: (1) He is a
moderate himself, never did go as
far as the cut-throat young Fascists,
was kept more or less a palace
prisoner by them; (2) he is better
guarded than any other man in the
world. High walls, moats, trained,
trusted bodyguards surround him.
Not even his personal tailor is per
mitted to touch him.
Unrest inside Japan has not
had time to be communicated
to Jap troops at the front, nor
is it likely to affect outside war
areas much. The Jap soldier
away from home can be counted
on to fight to the very end, be
cause he cannot come home un
less he is victorious. The code of
Bushido does not permit it.
The big thing to watch, when
and if things inside Japan reach
the boiling point, is the Jap fleet.
Its officers will be faced with
the alternative, under the code,
of ail committing suicide or
sailing into the enemy, no mat
ter what the odds against them,
and fighting it out.

HOOVER’S CHILDREN
Bachelor J. Edgar Hoover, who
has jailed more desperate criminals
than any man in history, has a se
cret weakness which not many
people know about. He likes chil
dren. On many an afternoon you
will find a group of boys going
through FBI headquarters, getting
points on crime detection. If he is
not too busy, Hoover himself will
take time to say hello.
Hoover has spent much time
studying children, feels that a
healthy younger generation is the
best insurance against crime, once
even wrote a magazine article, “If
I Had a Son."
Here is some of the advice he
gave: “If I had a son. I’d probably
be frightened. I’ve never feared
criminals, but if I were a husband
and father I might be afraid. So
much would depend on me.
“If I had a son, I’d do one thing.
I’d tell him the truth. I’d never let
him catch me in a lie. And in return
I’d insist that he tell the truth. . . .
When children go astray it isn’t the
fault of the children but of their
parents. ... A spoiled boy grows
into a spoUed man. ... I’d try to
be a pal to my boy. ... I’d encour
age him to join fhe Boy Scouts and
boys’ clubs, but before he joined
I’d make it a point of getting
acquainted with the leafier of the
troop. ... I’d have my son go to
church. What’s more, I’d go with
him. . . . But above everything
else, I’d try to understand my son.
For if I didn’t I’d be a failure as
a dad.”

STALIN-CHURCHILL
CORDIALITY
Those who have watched the dip
lomatic wheels go round from the
close-up inside, report that Stalin
and Churchill are now getting
along famously.
This is important because it was
not the case at Teheran, where
Roosevelt and Stalin did the getting
along and Churchill didn’t. That was
when the present Second Front in
France was the topic of consider
able argument and when Churchill,
bidding farewell to Stalin, said:
“Well, goodbye, Marshal. I’ll see
you in Berlin.”
“Yes,” replied Stalin; “I in a tank
and you in a Pullman car.”
Churchill’s friends point out that
at Teheran he was in the early
stages of a very severe illness and
definitely not himself.
Since then, Churchill seems to
have got over any complexes re
garding Stalin, and Stalin takes a
like position toward Churchill.
There has been complete teamwork I
between the two for some time.
Both British and American diplo
mats also pay tribute to the co
operation of the Russians in recent
months on most subjects, even
including Poland. The general view
in diplomatic circles is that Stalin
has been reasonable regarding Po
land,

South of France Invaded by Allied Armies
The harbor area of Marseilles, one of the most famous ports of the world, within the original terrain
of the invasion of the southern part of France, will become the center of interest as the drive continues
westward from Toulon (insert), another famous city on France’s south coast. The first objective of military

Amusement Park Fires Greatest in History
Two fires swept New York City’s most popular amusement beach parks doing damage of nearly one mil

Red Cross Men Cooperate
Hay Fever Sneeze
When Avranches in Normandy fell to fast-moving American forces,
this Nazi Red Cross post in a cafe was taken over by American Red
Cross workers, who permitted some of the German medical corpsmen to
remain and cooperate with the Americans in taking care of the many
injured German soldiers who were left behind when the Nazi retreated.
The sniffling season is here again,
and Ginnie Powell shows how the
weed affects Americans who suffer
from hayfever. The Pacific North

■At In a recent rorvey, farmers re
ported that inoculation of legume
teed with NITRAGIN (1) gives
bigger yields, (2) makes faster,
earlier growth, (3) helps get a better
stand, (4) gives more vigor to fight
weeds and drought. NITRAGIN
helps legumes add up to 125 lbs.
of nitrogen to the toil per acre.
INOCULATE VETCH, CLOVER,
WINTER PEAS WITH N1TRA6IN
It pays to inoculate every planting
of vetch, alfalfa, clovers, winter
peas, other legumes with NITRA
GIN. It costs only a few cents an
acre and takes only a few minutes
to mix with the seed. It’s the oldest,
most widely used inoculant. Look

Moth Protection
Rugs, upholstering or any wool or
part-wool articles must be protected
from moths and carpet beetles just
as wool clothing or furs. Rayons,
linens and any cottons containing
starch or sizing must be guarded
against silver fish. For good storage
it is recommended that you use a
large closet or room where the
temperature is about the same as in
rooms you use all the time—neither
too hot nor too cold. A hot attic
isn’t the best place for storing
fabrics. Neither is a damp base-
