The Week's Best 'Stories

Stalingrad, Deutschengrab
When the German press an-
nounced the fall of Stalingrad a
rumor was started in Prague ac-
cording to which the German
translation of the name ,of, that
Russian city will be Deutschen-

Stumbling Block
A few years ago, when Fas-
cism was still in the ascendancy,
an Italian officer attending a
luncheon at the opening of the
Italian Pavilion at the Paris Ex-
hibition was boasting about the
Fascist successes.
"Our Duce," he said, "ordered
us to take Ethiopia, and we took
it in the face of fifty-one nations
determined to destroy us. . He
told us to take the Iron Ring
around Bilbao; the next morn-
ing it was ours.
"We haVe eight million bay-
onets—nothing can stop us. Let
us be frank about it: if the Duce
ordered his army to march into
France tomorrow, what really
could stop us?"
All were shocked into an em-
barrassed silence, except for a
little Frenchman seated near the
foot of the table.
"Monsieur seems to forget the
French Custom Service," he re-
marked.

Feeling of Regret
Yes, it was with a feeling of
regret, heightened, no doubt by
the nostalgic tinge of brooding
autumn in the air, that an en-
thusiastic crowd heard the last
of the open-air concerts at the
Jewish Community Center.
It is to be hoped that in an-
other and happier summer there
will again be "music in the air,
when the twilight's gentle sigh
is lost on evening's breast, as its
pensive beauties die."
Leda Lawrence,
60 Blaine.

Dr. Robert S. Drews (M. S.,
M. D., D. of P. H.), associate

speaker at the first of the series
of monthly meetings of the De-
troit League of the National
Home for Jewish Children at
Denver, next Wednesday,. at 1:30
p. M., at the Jewish Community
Center. His subject will be "The
Myth of Racial Superiority."
Mrs. Monte Weston, president,
announces that two women who

Mrs. Weston also stated that

take place Saturday, Oct. 30, in
the auditorium of the Detroit In-

ceeds will go to the Denver
Home to care for underprivi-
