"Deutscliland ubev a lies, rooty!
i;aus miuem, i say.
"The voice sounds familiar," vt
said. "But I've given up all hope
of ever putting its owner in his
place."
Sure enough, we were right. The
old familiar cockroach was just
crawling out from in under the
typewriter with a sneer on his an
tennaed puss and seeming murder
in his heart.
"And where have you heen this
time that you must come here and
gripe?" we asked.
"It isn't where I've been, it's
where my second cousin is right
now that's bothering me."
We picked our teeth with our
little finger and waited.
"Well,'' he said crossly, "aren't
you going to ask me where my
second cousin is?"
"No."
Inside of Inquart's.
"Well, if you really want to
know, he's in Vienna, living in
the cellar of Seyss-lnquart'i
house. It's awful the ignorance
in which he lives. He sent me a
letter partial post. . ."
"Parcel post?"
"No, partial post. In instal
ments, or parts. In it he says
that Hitler is really a great man
and that all the Germans and
the majority of the Austrians
think he is the militant messiah
of the Teutons. All the papers
he gets to read say so and every
tirrte he hears the radio, its Hit
ler will do this and Hitler will do
that, Hitler is omnipotent. He
had a little trouble with his eyes
a while back and instead of see
ing spots in front of them, all
he saw was swastikas."
"Adolf is quite an organizer,
vou'll have to admit that. Whv. I
bet if he had a chance at higher
education in this citadel of learn
ing, he would be top man in aotivi
ties. President of the Kosmet Klub,
probably, with a goose stepping
pony chorus, undoubtedly cad
colonel of the R. O. T. C, and
probably treasurer or president of
a half a dozen other clubs."
"Fooey! I hates his guts. Even
If he brushed his teeth twice a
day and used all the Lifebuoy on
the market I still wouldn't like
him. It's a cryin' shame the
amount of wool he's pulling over
his countrymen's eyes. The tricky
so and so. He suppreses all anti-
razi newspapers in Germany and
Austria and then in case anybody
should happen to read the truth
in 7i French or English paper he
f-avs in a radio speech to the na
tion that he knows he will get no
credit from other nations for mak
ing Germany great but that his
own country's allegiance is
enough. His ritht hand man and
second most powerful m Germany
is the ninister of propaganda
' Why, I should think the title it'
self would be enough to warn the
. people and make them doubt the
veracity of his assertions."
"Bravo, little roach. Do you
know the 'Cross of Gold' oration,
too."
'Tooey flgnin. I'm Serious. Don't
you think it's terrible the way Hit
ler is hoodwinking his country?
Isn't his propaganda awful?"
Well, How Do You Know?
For that matter," we sug
gested, figuratively dropping a
bug In his ear, "How do you
know that the press reports
aren't anti-nari propaganda?"

Supreme Court Ruling
In Georgia Case.
It will cost the University ath
letic department about $16,000 a
year through the 10 percent fed
eral admission tax on tickets to
athletic events at state universi
ties if the United States supreme
court declares the tax measure
constitutional, John K. Selleck,
business manager of athletics, re
vealed last night.
Press dispatches from Washing
ton yesterday reported that the
tribunal agreed to review a peti
tion by the government in its ef
forts to collect the admission tax,
a decision that affects the athletic
coffers of every state university.
Georgia Refuses to Pay.
"With the exception of last
vear, Mr. sellecK said, ivenrasKa
has paid the federal admission tax
upon athletic events. The univer
sity has set up a trust fund for
this money which approximates
$18,000, pending completion of liti

has paid the government nearly
$70,000 as admission taxes since
the law went into effect in 1932,
he added.
The case grew out of the Uni

The constitution includes pro
visions that will allow considerable
flexibility and take tare of un

The scholastic limitation has been
included to serve ss an incentive
for men to maintain their scholar

the better students to contribute
1o more activities. The plan also j
makes it possible for a man to ;
drop one si-'ivity arid accept an
