"Not a single writer, speaker or preacher may act as his mind would have him for fear of a concentration camp." From Hitler's book, "Mem Kampf." Mr.

Snyder pointed out that the Fuehrer believes in accomplishing his ends not with education and enlightenment but with "mob hysteria, whipping up of the emotions, making the people feel that they have been down New Coal Burner For Small Honies To Aid Industry Plans for Automatic Device Revealed in Xnswer to Charges by Beamish HARRISBURG. March 31. (A A recently-perfected process for burning coal in the home may revolutionize Pennsylvania's vast anthracite and bituminous industries. Public Utility Commissioner Richard J. Beamish said today.

Beamish reported that O. G. Dean, vice president of the Susquehanna Coal company, revealed plans for marketing the new apparatus an automatic burner in reply to Beamish' accusation that the producers were making no effort to aid the state's ailing coal industries. "Dean replied to my charge that there had been no effort to produce a household sine coal burner since the days of Benjamin Franklin," Beamish asserted. The commissioner said it was his understanding the new apparatus "will be so constructed that it will be possible to' place eight tons of 'steam' size coal in at the beginning of the winter and have it automatically fed to the flames.

"The only work connected with the operation, as Dean explained it to me. will be the removal of fine ashea from time to time. "This may also increase the demand for the smaller sizes of coal and correspondingly boost the prices. At present 'steam' and other small sizes are the cheapest on the market. I understand the smaller sizes work best in the new burners."

(UF)-r- Harrisburg city officials today were directed to show cause why an injunc tion should not be granted restraining City License Tax Officer Harry W. Miller from enforcing a new ordinance making "mine-to-cellar" coal truckers' license fees $100 instead of $10. President Judge William M.

Har-gest of Dauphin county court denied application for a preliminary Injunction filed by Samuel D. Manning and E. L. Knight. Harrisburg truckers, but issued the show cause ruling.

Counsel for the truckers claim the city ordinance is unconstitutional, not a proper exercise of police power, confiscatory and "arbitrary and capricious" because it specifies only one type of coal trucker. The measure provides a fine of from $50 to $200 or 30 days in jail for unlicensed truckers delivering coal from mines to Harrisburg homes. Some April Fool CandyinOldDays Writer, Once Candy-maker, Tells of What Went Into 'Foolers' "If you're the sor of fellows who must give -your pals April FooL candy, don't ask a candy maker to pre pare it for you. He would just be taking the chance of paying out a stiff fine if John Law caught up with him." This Is Charlie Otto's advice to the playboys of Allentown whose sense of good fun is preverted. Charlie, is a waiter in a N.

fith St. restaurant but he still recalls the days that he worked over kettles of boiling batches of candy. Those days were before Federal pure good laws forbade the addition of foreign materials to food stuffs. And according to Charlie's description of what was added, foreign' materials meant anything from soap to spikes. The confectioners only made their innocent looking "wolf-in-sheep's-elothing" candy around the first of April.

There wasn't much to it. Dip some hardware in coating chocolate and the process was finished. One the best-sellers was called "Lady Fingers." A ten penny finishing nail coated with bitter chocolate. An enthusiastic bite meant that you might, see your dentist more than twice a year. To make chocolate chips, linoleum was used for the centers.

Charlie can describe this phase of the trade for several hours, so we jotted down a few of the popular numbers which might serve as a warning of what you can expect when that smiling friend who never bothered to give you any presents before passes the candy and says: "Help yourself. Don't be afraid, it won't make you fat." He'a right. It, won't make you put on wdght. But you won't get any satisfaction from eating It' either. Especially if it happens to be a "Gem" a chocolate coated moth ball.

The moths don't like them and how could anyone else? I "Buds" a seed onion dtpped In chocolate, an unpleasant combination and incidentally legal. Onions are food, but who wants them with choc ol8te. "Mexican Creams" red pepper in the center of a piece of cream candy A viler substitute for the pepper, (if anything could bj worse) is a horse hair neatly coiled and placed in the center of the cream. chocolate coated soap. No particular brand as floating, sinking or disinfecting all taste pretty bad.

Didn't you ever get your mouth washed out with soap for swearing? Editor's Note: Your reporter just left the news room in a huff. He sampled some chocolates that came through the mail and they had onion-centers. Grabbing a baseball bat he left to find Charlie.

The eight-hour day was legalized in 1916 for miners. Thus it took the miners 32 years to attain the 8-hour day status in comparison with the federation.
