RITTERSBACH. American Zone, Germany, May 30—Hitler is still alive, living in a gigantic Bavarian cave with a goodly number of his roughs waiting for Der Tag. That is one bedtime story being told In the hamlets of Deutschland these nights as the rationed electrie lamp blinks. \ There has always been something of the mystic about the German, that blond “superman” who came within an ant’s sneeze of conquering the whole wailing world. So I am not at all surprised to come to this typical ‘tiny town—homesite of 700 Krauts—and find the citizens hereabouts delighting in ghosts and witches and fantastic fables: After all, Germany is the land of Grimm's fairy tales,-and Siegiried the Gorgeous, who was almost impossible to bump off, and Wotan, prancing prince of war.

Legends of the Past Circulating

NOW THAT the herrenvolk are getting back on their flat feet—after the dreadful drubbing duly delivered—legends of past power and future victories are again circulating. The current silly, which I extracted from crusty citizens after a fistful of schnapps, follows: Der Fuehrer, dear kinder, did not go up like a toasted marshmallow in his Berlin bunker, as the saps have been led to believe. Nein! He took 100,000 of his most magnificent musclemen and retired to a great cave in the heart of the Bavarian alps—a cave the address of which, is unknown to the nasty occupying powers.

Nursing His Nerves

There he lives quietly today, nursing his nerves, and lecturing his hearties. When ‘he is particularly peeved about some Allied trick, he will make one of his screechy speeches, causing the clouds to clap thunder in approval, the winds to how! and bolts of lightning to slash through the sky. Someday, when the time is ripe, or maybe sooner, he will emerge with his hordes, pitch out

Sieg Heil. Not all the tall tales concern Awful Adolf.|’ Many. of the chillers have a local setting. 3 Once upon a time, in Rittersbach, the citizens used to whip their horses. Whereupon, an old woman moved. into town-—-a witch. Her favorite stunt was to stand on the main dirt stem and give passing nags the evil eye. Even if it was early of a cool morning and they had just left the stable, horses would start sweating severely and were too tired to labor that day. Naturally, this cut production and times were

broke her lease and moved elsewhere—hallelujah —and the horses went back to work in earnest, even without a new union contract.

Dasn’t Be Dirty to Dobbin

BUT, so they tell, if anyone in Rittersbach is again dirty to Dobbin, the old witch will return and, tractors not yet having been installed, farmers will have much misery with their oat burners. Then there is the black cat who gives the business to chaps not loyal to Der Vaterland. This puss walks into any house where traitorous activity is discussed, such as inviting a G. I. for, dinner. She comes in right smack through a cloded door and shortly after her visit someone in the house drops dead, which is very troublesome. Won't do you a bit of good to bolt the door, Hermann, or install a Yale lock. This is a ghostly mouser, who doesn't knock before entering, and could break into the Chase National Bank's 20-ton steel vault. 80, be a good German, Hermann, or that old black cat will get you if you don’t watch out. And

WASHINGTON, May 30—-Now we've got, among other things new, pink pills for pale Senators. Each lawgiver received a jug of same from Dudley J. LeBlanc, who is a patent-medicine manufacturer and also the president pro-tem of the Louisiana State Senate. Sen. LeBlanc wrote his fellow statesmen that he realized the strain under which they worked and understood that they seldom got to eat regular meals. . What they needed was his pills, which he was taking the liberty of sending, and which contained an assortment of vitamins and four important minerals easily soluble in senatorial blood streams. I mention the generosity of Sen. LeBlanc now, so that if business suddenly starts booming along in the Senate, you'll know why.

Polishing Up His Choppers AS FOR ME, I've been polishing my choppers lately with this new-fangled ammoniated toothpowder, which is supposed to keep same from decaying. I'll let you know later how this works and whether it is destined to make dentistry a lost profession, like bustle building. All I do know now is that the ammoniated powder has revolutionized the tooth-shining business. Practically every manufacturer of pepper-mint-flavored paste for the teeth either has substituted ammonia, or is thinking seriously of doing 80. A man came into the office the other day and snapped my picture with a ‘handsome, brownleather camera: Forty seconds later he pulled out of the back of it my picture printed in sepia color anda good photo it was, too. He said this camera was going to do to the photography business what ammonia has done to the tooth-powder trade, I wouldn't doubt it; my only objection to the no-

darkroom camera is the price: $89.50,
