Nazis Cheer Hitlers Speech Against Reds Nurnberg, Germany—IAP)—The third Reich's foreign policy was aimed today by Reichsfuehrer Hit- ler at intervention "wherever Bol- shevism appears in Europe." Such a policy, he told 16.000 cheering Nazis last night at the closing of the eight-day party con- gress, is dictated by the 'naked necessity of sustaining the very life of the German people." The chancellor frankly admitted Germany's aid to the Spanish in- surgents, and sought to justify such past and future intervention by a bread-and-butter motive based on the Reichs instinct of self-pre- servation. Germany has no colonial empire, he said, therefore Germany must trade with other European coun- tries or perish. If the inroads of Bolshevism threaten that trade, he I argued, Germany intends to inter- ' vene.

PUTS IT OUT EVERY TIME eOlW HOME- l'VE WATCHED. Common Ailments To Be Thing of Past' Chicago — (A P)— Persons suffer- from backache, chronic sinus in- fection, boils, ringworm, acne and athletes foot were promised a new quick remedy today by X-ray and radium specialists attending the fifth international congress of radiology. The physicians who reported suc- cessful treatment of these almost universal ailments with X-rays and radium admitted freely that their claims sounded like those made for patent medicines. They brought forth thousands of cases, however, to prove that the elec- trons shooting from radium and X-rays can do things which no other medical treatment will ac- complish. These treatments were effective, they explained, because X-rays penetrate deep into every tissue. The bacteria which cause infec- tions of the sinus penetrate below the surface of the mucous linings and, since nose washes and surgery generally affect only the surface areas, X-rays are the only means of killing the growth of deep-seated infections. During the hjrief business meet- ing it was planned to sell jello for benefit of the class again this year. The next meeting will be Oct. 11, with Miss Bessie Perry, Herit- age Place. Mrs. Clarence Slade and Mrs. Roy Rider, will be host- esses at that tilme. Attending were Mesdames Piatt Smith, W. E. Clatworthy, Fred Graf Jr., Roy Rider, Thomas Dunn, Clarence Slade, Florence Foss, Car- roll Knickerbocker, J. W. Frisbie, Mildred McClennan, Marion L. Kemp, Allen Thomas, Helen Vogel, John Lutz, Henry Cooney, Burton Griffin, the Misses Mildred Sher- man, Dorothy Sherman, Lou Mes- senger and Bessie Perry. » In Ballston Spa Court St. Mary, CDA.

NEW YORK POWIR AND LIGHT NIAGARA HUDSON BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES No Need to Tell By MARTIN JJETWEEN Bolshevism on the one side and Hitlerism on the other, Warsaw, the capital 6*f Po- land, today links two "worlds." To the east Russia presses forward with a new solution for an an- cient problem while to the west Germany seeks still another ex- pression for its desires. There was a time when War* saw was eclipsed only by Paris. In those days it stirred the envy of Prussia, Austria and Russia. Then its glories faded under at- tacks from every side. But now Poland is coming back and War- saw again assumes something of its old importance. On the summit of a hill, stretch- ing back from the Vistula, "the bloody river" of the World War, Warsaw's spires and domes reach skyward. They remind one, for the most part, of days past. Quaint houses with high gables dot the city and the government buildings reflect the same period. Pride of this group is the Bel- weder Palace, the "While House of Poland." It was the home of Poland's liberator, Marshal Pil- sudski and since his death it h;is become a national museum, i winMnifi e v o t e d largely to the m e m- ory of this great Pole. The palace is shown on a 19.15 *j—smtml stamp. l**«t|tvt i>:M, !M7, KKA Xrrvtct*. tn«- t ViOr^fcrAfcfc'.XT V/Ofc*> TrVL ON\X PfcrNCfc r\ftf> QO\£T VifOfc EW^OryrlO SW^t VOO V0«?£ *VAW\V TVYfc VAST T\*A^ NEXT: OOt^T Wc\_\r^r * ViORO O? \V.
