* Hangman’ Takes Advantage of Purge to Increase

" Personal Power,

By NAT A. BARROWS Times Foreign Correspondent STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 14. —Carefully nourishing his own am-| “pitions, Heinrich Himmler is taking every advantage of the Naz at-| tempt to purge the army of revolt. Much of his time is currently de-/ voted to boosting his private army | of 500,000 S S. (elite guard) at the | expense of the regular army. | By a campaign of trying to discredit the regular army in favor of | his S. S. men “Heinrich the Hang-| man” hopes to create fpr himself | even more power than he already | has as Nazi minister of “the interior, | head of the gestapo and commander of .the home front army. The spearhead of Himmler’s prop- | aganda is built around repeated assertions that only the S. 8. can save the German front from in-! ternal disruption and chaos; only | the S. S has political experience and is able to -deal with internal plots. |

Chorus Girls in Overalls’

With only a few exceptions for illness or a large number of children, no family in Germany can have a maid. Maids must immediately start working in war factories to relieve men for the army. Even chorus girls must don overalls and begin making shells. Every week brings more drastic restrictions for Germany's 80,000,000 people—and more discouragement.

SOVIETS PRINT GRISLY PI PHOTOS

Call Attention to Crimes Committed - at Lublin Prison Camp.

By Times Foreign Service MOSCOW, Aug. 14.—The army newspaper, Red Star, has appealed to the world to recognize that the

An editorial based on accounts of the Lublin concentration camp which appgared in Red Star for three days now is being reprinted in Pravda and Izvestia together with as grisly a series of photographs as ever have been devoted to such a subject here. “There are some people abroad,” Red Star says, “who say that the Russians have their account to set= tle with the Germans who committed many misdeeds on their soil, but who contend that in other countries the Germans have behaved like Europeans.

“Let these people read the pass-]

with frightening devices, but don't expect them to fall for the same one more than a day or two at a time. Even the old-fashioned scarecrow with overalls, shirt and hat 1s an effective scare for cnly a few days.

Victory gardeners have profited by two or more years’ of experience and are now interested in planning their next year's garden. Some crops will be left out of next year's garden, plantings of other crops will be increased, and new

favorite vegetable or small fruit’

crops will be added.

It is now getting too late to

plant many of the vegetable crops |

in the fall garden. Take care of what crops you have snd harvest everything that is usable.

While the plants are small, poison sprays or dusts such as calcium arsenate, lead arsenate, and cryolite may be used for the control of cabbage worms.. After the heads of cabbage, cauliflower and Brussel sprouts begin .to form, or the kale is nearly ready to use, for safety use rotenone, which is non-poisonous.

Sticks or poles six to eight feet

cord strung beiween thé poles are effective scares. After a day or

two this may be altered by fastening pieces of white paper at intervals on the string. Two days later change to brightly colored paper. Pieces of metal or mirror may be added after a few days.
