Uncle Louis Produces the Best Story of the Year—In German

Surely; you remember “Uncle” Louis, He is the civic-minded citizen who, several years ago, went into retirement (and oblivion) after serving as a member of the Board of Public Works for ness knows how many , As a matter of fact, all through the administrations of Reginald H.

deeply, indeed, I just about broke down. Never before in my life has anybody given me an I Q. rating of i distinction.
After chasing the Teutonic verbs and mating
them with the loose nouns, I finally gathered what seemed to me to be a reasonable translation of the newspaper story-—in substance, at any rate.
Contents of the Mystery Can : IN THE COURSE of this year (so runs the tale), a family living in Germany received from America a gift package, containing among other things, a collection of assorted cans. Ex¢ept for one, all were labeled not only as to contents, but alse with neatly written cards designe Hing the names of the beneficiaries. fter the gifts were distributed, the unaheled ¢an became the subject of considerable ation. Finally, the Suspense was so great at it left nothing else te do but open the sealed can and ascertain its contents. 1t proved to be a grayish powder, the nature of ‘which hatdy eo) eould Teengnise. ceeding on a that comes out of America is good enough to eat, the agitated German family finally decided to use the powder as the basis of a soup. And in this case, teo, neither taste nor smell cleared up the mystery. next day, a letter arrived from America accounting for the unlabeled can. The contents, it said, had been sent pursuant to the wish of an aged relative on this side of the Atlantic. It appears that the relative had left written instructions that her ashes be buried in the churchyard of her German ancestors.

The news from Scotland is mighty grim, too. This time the information was gathered from a letter postmarked Kilmarnock (Cqunty Ayr) and addressed to an Indianapolis citizen familfarly known as “Mac” who, apparently, still
" keeps in touch with the Old Country.
Now Is the Time te Hold Tongue TO APPRECIATE the bad tidings, says Mac, you have to know that it is still the custom in Scotland, in the case of deaths, to send invitations to all the neighbors to attend the funeral. Well, it appears that on this occasion a neighbor was omitted by the bereaved family. For what reason, the letter didn't say. Mac thinks he knows why, but to divulge the secret might only aggravate international relations. Naw, if ever, is the Hime to hold one’s tongue, says Mac, To proceed with the tier: On the day of the Puneral, white the invited guests were as-

Here's a Local Example
ANOTHER EXAMPLE of grimness—this time, in a more or less elementary form-—hap-pened right here in Indianapolis recently. It came to me by way of a Democrat who witnessed it from start to finish. And he is still wondering what effect, if any, it's going to have on Governor Schricker's chances.
Seems that a distinguished Frenchman wearing a red Legion of Honor button in his lapel blew into town the other day. The Democrat doesn't know why, but he rather suspects that the recent article in the Saturday Evening Post whetted the traveller's curiousity. Be that as it may, the distinguished visitor \bdarded an elevatdr in one of the three stores which is also equipped with an escalator. HBe‘yond that, the Democrat wouldn’t identify the store. Said the publicity might impair Governor Schricker’s chances. Well, upon entering the elevator, the decorated Frenchman was followed by two substantial ladies, one of ‘whom suddenly withdrew from the car. Her gasp of horror didn't escape the Democrat. “What's the matter, Marge; aren't you coming?” asked her companion. “Not with that Communist,” said Patricia making a bee line for the escalator. Which concludes today’s nicklesworth from your foreign correspondent.

Communism By W. R. Howard The theory of communism may be summed up in one sentence: “Abolish all private property.” Under hp you own nothing, not even your own so Recently in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, the entered every shop and store, it, keys and notified the owner that his establishment hereafter was owned by the government, ‘ Government clerks were sent in to take inventory and set the amount which was ‘to be paid each owner for his shap, payment to be made in government bonds, the value of which was determined by the government. Apparently the average Communist here in America believes that a Communist state is 2 sort of Utopia—the end of hard work, the distribution of all wealth, etc. Rather it ‘best be described as a “land of perpetual fear.” Officials, as well as common people, spy upon each other, and all are well aware that they are under constant surveillance of secret police. A prominent clergyman puts it this way: “Communism sacrifices individuality and initiative, Christ does not. Instead of bringing the highest to the lowest, He brings the lowest to

Meets First Real Tesi
FIRST REAL TEST of Henry Wallace's Progressive Party strength may show in the Wisconsin primaty, Sept. 21. Wis-
consin Progressive Party has candidates running for governor
and for seven of the 10 seats in Congress. One factor that may cut down Progressive Party vote, however, is that the Socialist Party is offering a complete slate of candidates in opposition. All 10 of Wisconsin's members of the 80th Congress are Republicans. All 10 are seeking reelection. Republican Gov. Oscar Rennebohm is also see reelection. He is opposed by one other Republican, Ralph M, Immel, by Democrats William D, Carroll and Carl W. Thompfon, I Progressive Henry J. Berquist and Socialist Walter Only two of the Republican congressmen are opposed b, members of their own party. They are Glenn Davis and - Keefe. So there may be some upsets within the GOP.
