AEESTIAEES people wonder Just
- how these dIscreefly-expenslve liz.
tie shops. tucked away in odd corners
on the Avenue, manage to exist. And
the answer is--charge account With
out credit there would be very little
business transacted anywhere and
there Is hardly 9 person who does not
have charge account some place.
Not long $50 there sat by my bed
side q gentleman who congratulated
me sincerely on my returning health.
My reply Was that really should be
felicitated on having been Ill in the
first place. and allowed TO recover IN
the second; that It had all been actu-
ally a double blessing. The converse
ton took q sudden turn TO his own
AFFAIRS and be made me a confdante
Of the unhappy period he was going
through. due to an estrangement from
one Of the members Of his family and
what he would give If the whole mis-
understanding could be wiped away.
Then Il was that ] asked him II be
had charge account
"a Dozen" was his answer. Il
couldn't do business without them"
"You lIQuidate your accounts every
month";" I said.
Absolutely. Otherwise my credit
wouldn't be good for very long"
He recognized every obligation Of
credit, for he is a good business man
and good business men are honest and
punctilIous. He knew that II he saw
a hat in a shop-window and was In
duced to purchase It, sooner or later
he would have to give up something
In exchange. He could not have the
hat and his money. also and without
thinking much about II he realized
that such an arrangement was only
equitable But he was unprepared for
my next question.
Have you ever thought Of opening
a charge account with Godf"
He had never explicitly considered
God as the source OF human happiness
and blessings, nor that In return for
what Ged gives as we must give some
thing. It had never occurred to him
that II he wanted reconciliation with
that member Of his family he must de
prlve himself Of something else He
had not until then caught the idea
that only by giving Of our own love
generously and without stint can we
merit the love Of others.
AS we talked told him Of the time
when was working on a Chicago
q
newspaper and as q matter OF con
venlence opened a charge account
with a department store near my Of
bee. For three months paid my
bills promptly when they we're rem
iered. The fourth month was out
II the city on an assignment and did
aot return for several weeks. When ]
lid get back found rather curt let
5er on my desk from the credit man OF
he store, asking me to kindly remit.
Then II was I realised tiat God was
he most ienlent creditor had. My
account with the store was but rev
weeks overdue, and ! had been re-
minded Of 1t at once. But my bin with
aod had stood for years and he was
till patiently waiting for me TO pay
something on account knew OF
curse that I could never redeem the
principal, but at least could have
,ept up the interest on Il.

One Of the reasons for my recovery,
I am sure, Is the charge account ]
have had with God. knew that what
de gave me would come when ]
wanted II, knew II would not be
shoddy nor second-rate, ! knew that
He cared for my interests, but ] real
lied, too. that I must give Him some
hing in return.
So have done the only thing
sould do to pay that debt have en-
seav0red to have nothing. but love In
my heart. to come as close to the spir-
L OF the Sermon on the Mount as my
limited powers would permit; and for
owing a great many people he has
sent great many people TO love me.
He has given me returning health. the
strength to write a book, the friends

with God has not been unayailing.

Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

It's the "same old story, in the
same old way" in regard to the
rehabilitation of our round
house. Work is progressing rapid
ly and I judge that within another
month the whole thing will be
completed and turned over" to the
local supervision.
Don't know why, but it just
seems that whenever any of we
''desert rats" get vacation the
large majority invariably order
their passes for points in old Sun
ny California. And Harry Kemmis,
machinist la part time boss, is
no exception. Both he and the
Mrs. are at present enjoying a ten
day trip to Los Angeles and the
beaches and will also visit with
the formers parents in San Ber-
nardino
The unwelcome news reaches us
that the brother of Machinist E.
Kleinworth, who necessarily had to
undergo two major operations in
an Albuquerque hospital about a
month ago, finally lost a long and
hard fight with death. Regret also
to report that it is now advised
that Emil entered the Santa Fe hos
pital for treatment due to his re-
cent loss of rest and much worry.
The sincere and heartfelt sympathy
of Blondy's fellow shop employees
and others is extended with the
hope also that he will be back on
the job in the near future.
r. Chavez is back at work after a
lengthy illness. It is hoped he will
enjoy better health "from now on

Rolling a postponed set against
the Hilltoppers last Friday night. the
Beeques ran it's string of successive
victories to six for the week and
gained a comfortable lead on the
runner-up Columbians in the Wash

However. the champs also have a.
postponed set to shoot with the 81 me
quint. and on dope they figure to cop
three straight.
Helena Kohler of the Nationals
crashed into the limelight Tuesday
night rolling against the Hilltoppers,
and registered a. brilliant 142 in her
first effort to tie the seasons high
single mark established by the
Columbians' southpaw star. Rena
Levy, about month previous.
After getting good counts on a
string of six spares to bring her
within easy reach of a record per-
formance, Helena smashed through
for a SPIN count on that seventh
spare in the tenth frame when a.
pin count would have given her the
high game honors.
Two other pinners were at the
same time having a wood-getting
battle that resulted in both achiev-
ing a new fiat game mark of "a,
which eliminated a triple tie that
was on the records. Edna Bailey
of the Nationals and Bertha Greevy
of the Beequees are joint holders of
the new high fiat mark.
