Un- like the slang of the Napoleonic wars, of which only one word in a thousand survives (the vieux grog- nards, or old grousers, of the Little not Corporal's Grand Army are forgotten), a considerable percen tage of these quaint colloquialisms have been collected. In Germany, however, all the war along that pokes fun at authority is to be ruthlessly extirpated. A charac- teristic instance of the lack of humorous insight of the Hitler regime. Though few find their way into the dictionaries of genteel speech, nearly all are worthy of preservation. They illustrate the fold cold courage, the dally resource. fulnons, the irrepressible wit, and madan | the undying hatred of hypocrisy of the mon who served in what wan called the "Shooting Gallery" (Schutzengraben) by A defeated race that

DURING the past
most men have
few
years learned some bitter lessons in economics. Speculation is not Thrift. Of all your material possessions, life insurance gives you the least cause for worry, No doubt it is more appre- ciated than ever before because you know it is always worth par.
Now is the time to lay the foundation for your future independence. Buy dollars for delivery at age 55, 60 or later. A Long Term Endowment, which gives you protection as well as saving, is a sure road to independence.
