bot of one Of the leading German Ben
ediCtine communities. Christian art
is a flower from the tree Of the cross.
Its creations are signs of the rise and
recession of the Church'S spiritual Vi

CatacombS to the house of worship Just
built, the church and art have always
been companions

century there were frescoed on the
walls scenes, often with an underlying
pagan concept, from the Bible, mostly

Required Some Time.

In the second century pictures Of the
New Testament miracles begin to ap-
pear After 200 A. D., he says, pic
lures appear in which the Christ fig
ure can positively be identified - a
youth with beardless face and short
hair. In Asia Minor there was vari-
ant Of this youthful type which pic
cured him as youth with long hair
0verfowing his shoulders. From the
.becond half of the fourth century dates
the bearded Christ, which has come to
by the typical figure throughout
Christenjom.
One reason for the lack of scenes
from the New Testament in the early
freScoeS, DR.. Morey points out, is that
the early Christians were familiar with
illustrated copies of books of the Old
Testament whose pictures they could
copy. It required some time for the
artistic impulse to spread to the New
Testament books on which the Chris
tian religion is based.

Natural Gas

The proposal Of producers of natural gas
in the south to furnish this fuel to large in
dustrial users in the city is one which affects
not only those industries, but the entire city.
If it be feasible to furnish this gas at a
low rate for industries it may also be feas-
ible to furnish it to domestic consumers.
The gas, of course, would come into di-
rect competition with other forms of fuel.
It would be in competition, to some extent,
with the local gas plant which the city hopes
to own in the near future.
But in all such competition, the old law
of the survival of the best and the cheapest
will determine the outcome, and if natural
gas be the right fuel and available at a lower
cost than other forms, then this city will
adopt it.
The vendors of natural gas do not pro-
pose to become public utility, offering their
products to all the people. That prevents
any regulation of rates or service
There is left a certain control at the pres
ent time through the fact that the company
must obtain a permit to lay it's pipes under
and across public streets. 1t can not operate
without this. The industries that are appar-
emily DESTROYS of getting the gas can not have
it until such permit is had.
This city has the machinery for publicly
owned distribution of gas in the utility
board. The sale of gas in this city is to be
a publicly owned monopoly. 1t might seem
that a very proper course would be for a con-
tract between the city utility board and the
gas producers, wherein the retails profits,
and there will be retail profits, should go to
the city.
Before any permit is granted the advis-
ability of putting this utility board into actu-
al business, no matter what the supreme
courts may say about the right to own the
gas plant should be studied.
Once in business and functioning profit
ably for the public good, expansion, even if
the courts deny the substantial justice of the
city's claim to the gas plant, might be the
easy solution to escape from private privi-
lege. Why not public ownership of something
now?

Where the Money Comes From

All winter and spring the country has been di-
vided on the question of unemployment relief Every
one admits that the 100000 jobess and their fam
lilies could not be left to starve Regardless of future
panaceas, everyone agreed there was serious ener
gency relief problem which had to be met irnnledi-
ately.
Met how? That is what caused the argument
One group, led by President Hoover, said the ener
gency should be met by private charity alone Hoo
yer even went to the extreme of saying that use of
public funds would be in effect "dole" and "iniure
Ine SPIRITUAL responses Of the American people" So
he made the Red Cross reject in advance pronosed
appropriation already passed by the senate
The other group said that the emergency should
be met by private funds if possible but that when
private funds were inadequate, they should be sup
plemented by public funds-f1rst by city and state
funds. and later, If necessary, by federal funds
IL now appears that much Of the argument was
unnecessary; it presupposed we had choice between
Two methods, whereas in fact one method already had
been tried failed, and been discarded throughout
the country
Hoovers private-charity- alone method COLLAPSED
completely in practice more than year ago.
Official government figures just issued by the labor
department. show that in Seventy-fve representative
cities major portion of emergency family relief dis
trlouted in 1880 came from public treasuries-to be
exact, u per cent.
When private funds were exhausted and no more
could be raised the local officials had the choice OF
letting the people riot and starve or OF giving them
what Hoover calls public doles.
NOW many OF the city and state treasures which
carried that burden during the last year are at the
end OF their resources.
1heSe facts raise certain immediate questions:
WIZ the President continue to rely on private char
lVy alone for unemployment relief when his own gov
eminent figures prove that would mean acute distress
for millions?
WI the President still strange at federal relief
now that he knows he has been swallowing state and
municipal relief for more than year?
VIII the national Red Cross which is giving MT
one cent to unemployment relief, now admit that the
emergency IS national and begin to help? And if Hoo
yer as head OF the Red Gross falls as others have
1aled to raise sufficient private funds. will Hoover
ana the Red Cross continue to block federal emer-
gency appropriations?

Prenatal Care of Vital Importance

being born in hoSpitalS-it will be
necessary to arrange for suitable
accommodations we'll in advance
and to determine whether one is
going to have private nurse or
to make use of the regular nursing
service Of the institution.
Far too often misunderstanding
arise as to the cost of child birth
because people do not arrange far
enough in advance for the facilities
that have been mentioned.
It is quite possible for the pros
pective mother to have an estima-
ton well in advance as to the cost
Of the room, the nursing service
and even the physicians fee.
If, however, these arrangements
are left to the last moment and a
clear understanding is not had, the
expenses may be beyond what the
people expect to pay.
The physician who is familiar
with the patients circumstances
will be able to give good advice as
to the kind of accommodations the
hospital will make available.

Mr.. Music has much logic on his side, unless the
Democratic party makes some real effort to combine
Jeffersonian civil liberties with Bryanistc social
idealsm. But he will hardly gain converts to his
cause by representing the SmithRaskob wing as more
reactonary on large economic issues than the Lucas

HELEN KELLER, most remark

President Hoover with a delegation
from the World Conference on
Work for the Blind, recently held
in New York.
In this age of movies, traffic lights

than ever.
Notwithstanding all that has been
done to educate and train them,
those deprived of sight are in a
peculiarly difficult position.
The same thing is true of all de-
fectives.
Organized industry wants none

Editor Where is the
idea?" This is the last sentence in
your editorial of a few days ago
under the heading, "The One Way"
There is in every truth but one
way in which unemployment in this
country may be ended, and this is
for our manufacturers to put the
prices of their products down to an
export basis, SO that large part of
their products may be sold in other
lands.
If, when in 1920, the European
farmers came back into normal pro-
duction, our farmers had let one
half their acres remain idle, had
discharged millions Of farm work
ers, so that they might keep up the
prices Of their products to the world
level plus the tariff, would they
have caused an unemployment
problem?
In 1929, when European naantlfac-
turers came back into normal pro-
duction, our manufacturers chose
to let one-half their factories re-
main idle. and discharged millions
