A Deck OF Cards Is
Bible And Almanac

Richard Lane, a private in the
And foot troops of the BLACK
Watch" of the British army early in
the 18th century, was brought before
the mayor and lord protector of Glas-
gov charged with PLAYING cards dur
ing divine service. He said he had
no Bible or prayer book and was
using his deck of cards instead of
them. When asked to explain what
he meant, he answered.:
"When | see the ace, it reminds
me of the One God; the deuce re-
calls the Father and the Son; the
trey, the three persons of the Trim
ity; the four-spot reminds me of the
four evangelists; the five, of the five
wise virgins; the six, of the days of
creation; the seven. of the seventh
day or the Sabbath; the eight re-
calls the righteous persons in the
Ark; the nine, the ungrateful lepers !;
the 10 the Commandments. The king
suggests the King of Heaven; the
queen the Queen of Sheba who
sought wisdom from Solomon. The
knave Ciack)" = here he hesitated,
but on being urged, went on: "The
knave stands for the constable who
arrested me-
The mayor interrupted to remark
that the constable seemed to have
been fool, even though not knave.
The soldier continued: "There are
365 pips (spots) in the pack, which
recalls the days of the year; So cards,
one for each week; IL face cards,
one for each month, and the ID
tricks represent the number of weeks
in quarter. Thus the pack of cards
serves as Bible, a prayer book and
an almanac"

SCOTTSVILLE, Va. - This town
was excited Saturday evening, when
several men were unawarely pounc-
ed upon by whites who were DESTROYS
of chasing them out of town.
When a youth from some distance
in the country, parked his car in
front of furniture store and re-
clined in the rear seat in order to
watch the parade, the owner of the
store came out and assaulted him,
telling him that he could not have n

beaten by a group of whites when
he went into a store on Main Street,
to make his usual Saturday evening

The most brutal case of all was
the stabbing of Martin Anderson by
FIVE men as he stepped out OF
Eruce's Drug Store on Main Street.
Unaware that he was in danger, he
was stabbed in the arm, face and

No Stunt Flight

In paying a final tribute to Mrs. Beryl Hart and
Lieutenant William MacLaren. who disappeared on a
flight from Bermuda to the Azores. it is well to point out
that this flight was not just another useless stunt"
1t was designed as an experimen Of real value to avia-
ton.
These two flyers were trying to test the feasibility of
the transatlantic route they were following for a regu-
lar commercial air line. That was why they carried sew
eral hundred pounds of 'pay load" That was why
they made the flight in midwinter and refused to wait
for storms to give way to calm; for a commercial air
line would have to take the weather as it came, and they
wanted to see just what such a line would be up against.
Evidently they have paid for this knowledge with their
lives; and they deserve q high tribute for their daring
and their service. They were not headline hunters or
stunters.

The Question of Power

There is one very encouraging thing about the present
dispute in Washington over the acts of the new mem
hers of the Federal Power commission: it is at least
bringing the whole question of the attitude we ought to
take toward the power trust" out into the open and i'm
pressing the seriousness of the problem on every citizens
mind.
Sooner or later, We shall have to make up our minds,
once and for all, how this power question is to be
handled. 1t is an extremely important question; but
thus far 1t has not been a thing over which the public
would get excited. If 1t is dramatized, now, by a spec
tacular fight between the white house and the senate, it
should get people stirred up and set them thinking.
In the past we have been indifferent toward it. The
present squabble-regardless of who is in the right
ought to help awaken us.

What a LYnching Does

IL ought TO be pointed out that most people who are
protesting against the recent ~lynching at Maryville, Mo-
are not moved by any misplaced sympathy for the VIC
tim OF that outrage. After all. a man who beats a girl
to death does not deserve a great deal Of consideration,
and II this murderer's death was horrible. so was the
death Of his victim.
What causes indignation at the affair is the fact that
It is a blow against all Of society. The 1000 men who
were in the mob that burned that negro alive will be
worse men, for the rest of their lives, than they were
before. You cannot give free vent to cruelty and blood
lust without damaging your whole being.
The main job Of civilization, after all, is to lift man
kind out OF savagery-in Tennysons words, to move
upward. working out the beast" A crime like this at
Maryville sets the whole process back.

when We get q dreadful suspicion that we are all headed
Tor . bottomless pit-and while w are moving some
where at a p~rodieious clip we can't chart our course
and we remain uncomfortably conscious that we may
eventually collide with something hard.
So we are nervous, impulsive and hectic. When we go
in for amusement we do it. not because we have some
time to spare and want to fill 1t pleasantly, but because
we have the itch to keep moving. to make a loud noise
and forget some of the things that are worrying us.
The waltz. consequently, is out. We prefer the nervous
quack-quack OF muted comets and the quick. restless
burbling OF saxophones to the smooth singing of the vio-
Inns. We are fond OF Earring discords and petulant
minors. The waltz calls for a restraint and an urbanity
that most of us do not possess.

Wisdom at, q Premium

If America ever had a need for wisdom and under
standing on the part OF public officials and business men
1t needs those qualities now.
The social and economic problems that came to a head
in the past year have produced a multitude of proposals
for half-baked and unsound legislation. Men in the
highest positions are seeking to commit the nation to
programs which would result in a tremendous increase
in taxes, without permanently solving any problems.
The cure for our present-day difficulties lies with In
dustry and the people. Wise and well-considered gov
ernmental aid can help. But the public-which will, in
the long run, reap the benefit from or pay for what
ever action Is taken now-should do its part in helping
to maintain sound government and business free from
fake panaceas proposed by emotional or vote-seeking
office holders.

And So We Don't Waltz

When the Prince Of Wales remarked the other dav that
the waltz IS the best dance of all, he said something that
We have been waiting for someone to say for a long
time. The modern world dances a great deal. but It
does not waltz very much, and it Is a pity. There is a
srac, to the waltz. a stateliness, a dreamy romance that
one gets in no other dance.
However, the changing times have deprived US of a
good many of the pleasantest features of a former day,
and the waltz Is only one Of many things that are not
quite attuned to the modern era. And the defect lies
In the waltz Itself; for the very qualities that make it a
delightful dance are qualities that have made it lose
popularity with this generation.
You can learn . good deal about any society by watch
Ing how 1t dances. Dancing expresses a person OF a group
moro clearly than words could. It gives utterance. in
some way, to whatever the dancers may have in the
hack Of their minds. And during the last decade the
world generally has had things on its mind that cannot
b expressed h : waltz.
Pr the waits carries with It the aura Of a bycone
ordr; N order IN which there was . great deal Of tran
guilty and : great deal Of leisure. an order in which peo-
pie wefe sure q their destination and quite confident
that they ware going to get there. and hence had the
lime and the inclnation to stop BY the wayside and
eitde lastly ~ n : slow and languorovs waltz.
UnfoFtunatsly. that period came to : close. The World
knocked II endwise. and since the war there have
