GERMANY USES MORE DRUGS
Nervous Strain of Political Events
Berlin, Jan. 17.. Inquiries show that there has been a sharp rise during the past two years in the quantity of nerve preparations and sleep-inducing drugs sold in Germany,
It is clear that this fact, which, I understand, has also been ob- served in other countries, is direct- ly traceable to the constant nervous: strain imposed by the political events of recent months.
One chemist told me that the rise in sales of these preparations had been phenomenal.
"I should not like to say that there has been much change of re cent months," he said, "but there. has undoubtedly been a far high- er consumption of this kind of drug during the last two years than in 1934 or 1935. In 1933 sales also went up."
In reply to an inquiry at the of- fices of the German Dye Trust, which controls a well-known Ger- man firm of drug manufacturers, I was told: "There has been an in- creased consumption of all kinds of medicine during the last few years. I should not like to say that the rise in nerve tonics was excep- tional."

Dear Santa Claus:
New Book On The Jews
An interesting attempt to lift anti-Semitism out of the sphere of passion and hatred and to give it a physiological and philosophical foun- dation is made in a newly published look in Vienna called "Wille, und Rasse" (Will and Race), whose author is Franz Schattenfroh, news- paper editor and prominent member of the Austrian National Socialist - party.
It can be termed a handbook of racial philosophy, based no physiolo- gical and biological hypotheses.
Schattenfroh's thesis is that the will, which is at the root of all creative force, depends on race and is determined by it.
Purity of race is therefore a car- dinal requirement for human pro- gress, and indiscriminate. mixing of heterogreneous races, physical as well as cultural, is likely, to lead to decadence or disintegration.
Applying this theory to the co- habitation of the Jews with their
