St. Louis Deadlocked
Over Hospital Plans

ST. LoUIS.-With survey ex-
perts calling the colored hospital
here an outrage and disgrace, and
the group opposing Mayor Miller's
plan of making the proposed hospital
Jim Grow part of the white institu-
ton, the hospital plans here have
reached a deadlock.
Mayor Miller declared after the
recommendation were made that he
would not sign any proposition for
a Negro hospital, unless II would be
adjacent TO City Hospital No. l for
whites. To this the colored people
are unalterabIy opposed, declaring
that such a Jim Crow institution
would only be used for white medical
students, and would mean the abol-
ishment of the school for trained
Negro nurses, and the elimination Of
a Negro superintendent and internes.

New. OF New York

A sad note comes out of New

cuts but little figure. A secretary
of the Urban League in New York,
reports that more than % per cent
of women in the Morals Courts are
colored and more than one-fifth Of
the bows under 2i in the Tombs are
colored.
That is a disturbing report. Watch
out for two or three more secretar-

came to Jesus and who, when Je-
sus invited him to join the inner
circle, turned away sorrowful,
thinking of his great possessions,
the more we realize that his fail
ure was not so much because of
his love of riches as because of a
more crucial inner weakness in
his character.
He had not come to the point
where he was able to face a tre-
mendous issue In a tremendous
way, The trouble with him was
not simply that he loved money,
for the likelihood Is that he had
no more love of money than
others. %
The real trouble was that he
lacked courage and the. power of
decision, that his religion was
largely formal and superficial, a
matter OF propriety and con-
formity to rules rather than the
dominance or his life by some pro-
found sense OF righteousness and
truth and a masterful power of
love and loyalty. cProbably we
should not condemn him too read
lily. for these are great things
in which most men are lacking.

1245-acre tract near Milford, Michigan,
~ convenient to all its car and truck divisions,
General Motors has the first and largest proving
ground for automobiles.
Here tests are made and facts determined to
a degree impossible when cars and trucks are
tested on the public highways. Here each new
model of General Motors must prove itself,
point by point, before it is produced for sale to
the public.
More than 135 different tests arc applied
to each car tested at the Proving Ground.

PROTEIN VARIES WITH LOCALITY;
ROOSEVELT CO. ABOVE AVERAGE

Wheat from Roosevelt county
varied in protein content from
1850 per cent to 9.75 or a varia-
ton of 6.S5 per cent according to
a statement recently issued by
Agronomy Department of Mon
tana State college. Data from
state and private laboratories was
included in the study and covered
527 samples submitted by farmers
and buyers for test.
Brockton, Wolf Point and Pop
lar were the highest testing points
in the county according to the sur
vey with the average running
above 1910 per cent, the average
for the county.
1t is of interest to note that
while higher premiums have been
paid for Roosevelt county wheat
in 1927, the protein content has
averaged lower than for the 1926
crop. The 1927 crop had a county
average of 1910 per cent com
pared to 1907 per cent for 1925
and 1893 per cent for 1925. Pro-
tein content, therefore cannot be
considered a dependable means of
determining the value of hard
spring wheat.
According to the agronomy sum
mary of the protein situation,
Roosevelt county has averaged
better than the balance of the
state for four of the past five
years, so is usually in line to re-
ceive premiums if any are being
paid. A. w. Warden, Co. Agent.

THE topic of this lesson fol
young people and adults i.
given as "The Peril of Riches" i
is a good title In relation to the
INCIDENT of the rich young MAJ
who came to Jesus, but 1t is apt
to put the cost Of discipleship toe
much upon a money basis to Be
quite as satisfactory as the gen.
.eral Topic
Now and again one comes across
types Of people who give lavishly
to good causes, where there seems
to be associated with their gifts a
fair amount of vainglory Some
times such givers wish to domi-
nate by their influences the causes
to which they give
Sometimes the gift is strangely
at variance with certain unChris-
tiaD things in their OWL lives. But.
after all. these cases are the eX-
'ception. as are the genuine free
minded, f~ree-hearted givers. The
great mass of people are loath to
give. They will talk a great deal
about religion, but when it comes
really to showing their love and
their loyalty by sheer sacrifice of
what they own, it is another mat
ter. So we should not lay too lit
tie emphasis upon the peril of
riches, or the love of money. >
Deeper Meaning
But granted the truth of all this,
the real sacrifices of Christian life
and discipleship go deeper than ma
terial things. There is the surren.
der of life itself to the VIII Of God,
and when that is made 1t carries
with it a sense of stewardship In
relation to all ones possessions.
There are people who have
achieved just such self.surrender.
Their gifts do not begin to be
totaled in actual contributions of
money. for their whole lives are
devoted to the causes in which
they believe. They would not
think OF spending lavishly upon
themselves or OF using the things
that God has given them for un-
important or trivial ends.
