BARS ON j. s. SHIPS,
0'CONN0R ADMITS
Tells Hearing Board Gave
Away $4,000 Worth of Rum
in Chapman Deal.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman O'Connor of the United
States Shipping Board today told g
House committee under questioning
that American lines operate bars out
side the 12-mile limit.
OConnor was testifying in the investi-
CATION of the House Merchant Marine
Committee into the Shipping Board sale
of the United States Lines.
Representative Lehlbach, Republican
of New Jersey, asked:
Isn't 1t true that all American
steamship lines except the Dollar serv-
ices run bars once the ships are outside
the limit, and isn't it fact that it is
foolish to keep 1t secret-that the lines
are thereby losing trader"
IT believe that is So" said O'Con-
nor. II have heard men say I am
going on foreign ship where I can
buy liquor"
Sacrificed $4,000 in Liquor.
O'Connor said the Federal Govern
ment sacrificed to the prohibition law
$4,000 in liquor supplies in the 1929
transfer of the United States Lines to
the Paul w. Chapman Co.
Chairman Davis of the Merchant Ma
rine Committee was questioning O'Con-
nor on the charge Of Controller Gen
eral McCarl that the Shipping Board
gave the Chapman company, without
charge, a million dollars worth of
equipment and supplies in the transfer.
OConnor made a firm denial of the
charge.
Did the stores include liquor?" asked
Representative Sirovich.
OConnor answered that the ships
supplies did include about $4,000 worth
of liquor considered as medical sup
plies.
Did you give them that liquor?"
asked Sirovich.
Turned Over as Supplies.
"Well, we considered long time, "
said OConnor. The Government
couldn't sell them the liquor or 1t would
be put in the position of bootlegger.
I'VE just figured we'd have to turn it
over as hospital supplies without cost. "
,OConnor refused to say the liquor
could be called anything but strictly
medical supplies
Eight thousand dollars worth of
liquor isn't much for medical supplies, -
said O'Connor. ANY ordinary barber
would have that much liquor"
They did sell that liquor after they
left the 12-mile limit, didn't they?"
Davis persisted
OConnor insisted, however that he
felt sure the liquor was medical sup

The Age And Religion

Nothing is more costly to any
age than the loss OF spiritual per-
ception. We may gain wealth, make
many inventions, and surround our
selves with the evidences of power.
but the happy times in human his
tory have been times when men
saw God.
The great religious teachers are
not fools. If we cannot see the
value of their teachings it is not
because their teachings have been
false but because there is some
thing wanting in ourselves. The
man who thinks you a fool because
you spend money and time listening
to great music, is. himself a fool.
The man who SCOTS at those who
love a picture is himself less than
a man because he is wanting in a
sense of the beautiful. So the man
who is blind to the things of the
SptiiI 10 III q lVdi SShot Cripple.
Worse than that, he is like one who,
having no legs ON which to walk
persuades himself that only those
who crawl are reasonable beings.
1t is out of the deep necessity of
life that religious faith is born. The
person who is nos sometimes drawn
to worship God lives a shallow life
He may know whole systems OF
philosophy but he has never sounded
those mysterious depths from which
all PHILOSOPHERS have sprung. II.
may have glib answers at command
for every question, but he has never
known the supreme experience o.
seeing, half revealed, the thing
which no man can wholly know no
clearly see. 1t is in this world o
the half-hidden that truth lives an.
| that man find some traces of he
presence.
| 1t is not in religion that the diff
Guilty lies, but in ourselves. We ar
sold to cheap ambitions and bruta
desires. We turn away from tn
saints and prophets, not because ",
know much but because we can Sc
so little. The generation of whic
we are a part has gained many sma
triumphs. Let us beware lest 1t los
the one thing that will make thes
| things significant. Without Got
we shall be without hope in tn
| world.

Foolish Prayers

Time and again has been adj
vanced the contention that Negro
ministers should teach their people
to pray. Much so-ealled praying is
just saying-just saying anything
that comes TO the surface. Much of
this jargon is meaningless and much
absolutely foolish. On the other hand
often they kill the spirit
Here is a sample, Iordy, have
mercy on our pastor; nail his head
to. the wisdom pole; let him down
in the well of wisdom. give him two
faces and double his revolutions. =
One might understand the well of
wisdom" figure, but the wisdom
pole" the two faces aud the
revolutions" would be more diff
cult to understand.
Another common expression Is
Help US to keep our eyes fixed ON
the star-pole in glory and when
we stick our swords in the sans of
time" One brother prayed the Lord
to help him to get to heaven so he
could "bathe my weary little soul
in the sea of glass Still another
which battles is Give him the
tongue of penny-ready-writer.
Perhaps sec of Negro prayers
will contain the repetition, Go with
us and stand by us, when we've
done wound up the last ball OF
trouble and drank up the last cup oil
sorrow and many use when the
war-whoop is heard in glory
Often the Lord is thanked 10
bringing us through scenes and un
seems" and cause when we wa
sleep last night, our covers was no
our windin' sheets and our beds wa
not our GOBLIN bodies"
While many preachers use thes'
foolish, meaningless traditional ex
pressions, very many of them d'
not, and yet neglect to teach tn
people. Again it is we urge tina
ministers teach the people to pray.
