HITLER FORGIVES PUTZI Ernst (Putzi) Hanfstaengl is forgiven and can go home to Germany, Herr Hitler, himself, has said so, and when Hitler says something there is nothing more to be said. You recall Putzi Hanfaengl of course. Good old Putzi is the Harvard man who, until recently, was Nazi foreign press chief. He-hasn'tgotthatjob anymore; Last month. Hitler sent Herr Hanftaengl on a secret mission to Spain.

But Putzi didn't go to Spain. He turned up in Zurich, Switzerland, instead. When Der Fuehrer sends you on a secret mission to Spain, you aren't supposed to say to yourself: "But Switzerland is so much nicer nd go there instead. So, when Putzi turned up in Switzerlnd, everyone took it for granted that he would stay there, rather than go home to see his old pal, Adolf Hitler, again. But Rudolph Hess, Hitler's deputy in Nazi party affairs, sent his chief of staff, Herr Spenger to Zurich to try fto induce Putzi to come home.

Herr Spenger gave assurance that Adolf wasn't really mad good old Putzi. The seven wonders of the world: The Floradora sextet and Henry Ford. The six best sellers: Sweepstakes tickets, F. D.

Public Innocent 1 wonder if you agree with me that the general public does not possess enough accurate knowledge of the human body. Because of their innocence, many persons avoid seeking medical advice about vital health problems.

They are afraid of being told they have tuberculosis, cancer or some other affliction generally regarded as incurable. Let us impress-upon you that the latter is the wrong attitude to assume, because, in most instances, no matter what the trouble is, cure is possible.

When the twenty years had passed, many ot the angry poets and authors were dead. And, after all, the tower, mellowed with age, wasn't so bad. Parisians got so they rather liked the thing. Then again, the French were thrifty.

They worked the tower as an advertising sign, for broadcasting stations, for restaurants, for the toll from 1,000 tourists going uj on an average day, for apartments, for this and that. It paid its way from the day it was built Holders of shares in the quasi-official corporation which owned it got dividends regularly. They will be reimbursed when and if it is torn down. For Gustave Eiffel, a native of Dijon, the tower was an exercise in pure mathematics. He had been a famous builder of iron bridges, an engineer in the French colonies and the designer of locks and sluices of the Panama Canal which the French tried to build.

Employing the calculus, he worked with great steel girders as fastidiously as Fritz Kreisler with a violin bow. When his plans were first explained, even engineers ridiculed him. The thing would blow away with the first puff of wind. He had great difficulty in getting the exposition to accept his design. He succeeded more on his reputation than on any understanding of what he proposed.

It weighs only 7,700 tons, just a featherweight for a thing like that, delicately fashioned of laminated steel plates. The reason it didn't blow away was its deep and firm anchorage. In two-wheeled horse carts they removed enough dirt to sink a big ship. The thing might and does sway like a buggy whip, but it never would tip over.

The French are planning to tear down the Eiffel Tower, built 48 years ago for the Paris World's Fair. When Gustave Eiffel, its builder, died in 1923, at the age of 01, he said it would stand for 1,000 years. Possibly it would last that long, for, like the French, it is whippy, pliable and durable. It is the artists and architects, not "moth and rust which doth corrupt," who have been its most unrelenting enemy. They say it is an eyesore, a discord in modern Paris, aesthetically crude and in wrong perspective.

That is why it is to be condemned. Possibly its destruction will at last reveal the story of that mysteriously sealed room. 375 feet up on the second landing. Old Gustave Eiffel was the only man who had a key to the room. His secret died with him.

After his death, the key was taken to the Department of the Interior and secreted there. The room never has been opened since that day. Frenchmen will tell you that Eiffel kept there a mummy which he had obtained in Egypt, preserved by a lost process, unchanged in centuries. Egyptian priests told him the mummy which make eternal any structure in which it was kept. That's that story.

Another Frenchman has the deep inside on a death ray apartus secreted there, which will destroy an air or land army' as it is aimed and operated from a stance somewhere higher up on the tower. Another tale is that it is Gustave Eiffel's tomb, and that he had designed the tower as such. On a single night six different taxi drivers will tell you six iifferent stories.

The Germans might have had some such idea in seeking to humble the French pride in what was then the tallest structure in the world. It is still the tallest in Europe 963 feet high on a cool day; '984 feet high on a hot day. It expands a foot in hot weather.

In all the world, it is topped only by the Chrysler and Empire State buildings. The French writers and poets hated it worse than did, the Germans later on, and would have been glad to blow it to bits. Academicians called it "a pile of ugliness," "the product of a diseased brain," and heaven knows what Their execratives were piled higher than the tower.
