CODE For MOTHERS

What if a code should be fixed for mother?
Suppose she were allowed to work but 40 hours
week.
She rises with the hooking birds in the morning,
wakes the family gets father off to work, washes
six or eight necks and twice as many ears ana
starts the youngsters off to school.
After the breakfast dishes polished, she
wash. She INDUCES in both suds and song and
soon the line of garments is bullying in the breeze
Before she knows it, hurricane of children bursts
into the house for lunch at noon.
Then she straightens up the house, looks after
several thousand odds end ends until it is time to
90 to market for meat and vegetables for dinner
She is chief chef, dishwaSher and nurse girl for
the evening. Along about midnight, Billy wakes
up with the Group or something and mother gets
the cold compress, the ramphor and vaseline Fa-
Their saws wood all night without thought of
code!
Next day is ironing day-and the next is mend
ing day-then comes cleaning day-and Saturday
she has to get ready for Sunday. And so on and
on and on and and on.
Mother puts in Is to Is hours day and uses up
her code in a trfle over two days-with five more
to 90.

NRA and wants his competitor yanked up for NOT

WASHINGTON - Young lib
w erals" of the Roosevelt adj
ministration are girding for a fin
lsh fight. And the president him
self has brought the matter OF
their revolt to a head.
The big issue, ram.iy!ng through
MIRA and other emergency agen-
cies, is whether there shall be
greater social control for industry,
with safeguards against proiiteer-
ing, or self-control for industry,
without safeguards, under suspen-
sion Of the antitrust laws.
President Roosevelt, the other
day, slipped the word to the AAA
that it must rush through the food
industry codes for his approval.
That meant one thing TO Assistant
Secretary Guy Tugwell and other
AAA liberals.
Previously they had been able to
bleck codes from the food indus
tries when they felt they were not
fair to farmers or consumers. Now
these codes, with priCe-iiXing fca-
lures and no provision for stand
ards, would be damned through
over their disapproyal.
So the young liberals" decided
that while they might be steam
rollered, it would not be without q
fight. So, there will be fireworks.

LYNCHING AS AN ART
(By Gerald w. Johnson)
(In The Baltimore Evening SUM

He whIo believes that anything effac-
tive is going to be done about the Prin-
cess Anne lynching is an opti1nist in
deed. The odds are 10 to that this,
ike the Salisbury affair, will so IN
punished
Furthermore. failure to punish any
one has heretofore always meant an
her lynching. Those members Of the
community who have taste for such
a.lairs know now that there is no firm
termination on the lower Eastern
Shore to prevent lynchings They
know that the state rI3lice are much too
rulite to shoot a wound-be lynchel
They know that the state administra-
ton has been proved completely i'm
potent to deal with ,lynchers. Why
then, should they hesitate to stage an
other party of the same sort?
They will stage it. The people of
Maryland are almost certainly in for
a succession of Outbreaks of this kind
It will be pretty rough on the whole
state, and it will be especially rough on
those Eastern Shoremen who are really
civilized; but there is at present little
prospect that it will be avoided.
For the whole history of lynching
shows that far from being a deterrent.
a lynching is almost invariably follow
ed by a succession of crimes compare
bic 10 the one that caused the first
lynching. No doubt the reason is that
such crimes are usually committed by
half-wits; and the terrific excitement
attending a lynching seems to throw
all the surviving half-wits into fever
ish excitement that leads them directly
6lo similar crimes.
IF we are destined, then, to witness a
series of lynchinps, it may be worth
while to give some attention to the
his ry and development of lynching
in those sections that have practiced it
most frequently and are presumably
most expert at it.
1t happens that the material is easily
available. Only four years ago Walter
White published a bctk, Rope and
Faggot," with the subtitle, "A Biogra-
ghy Of Judge Lynch" in which he ex-
anined with care the history of this
phenomenon.
Two or three facts emerge clearly.
One is that whenever even one member
of a mob has been punished by the
courts, lynching in that state has ceas-
ed suddenly ibr lorg time. Another
is that although the total number OF
lvnching has decreased markedly, the
savagery Of individual lynchings has
increased since the beginning Of the
century. A third-and this is Of high
importance in Maryland-is that where
= serieses of lynchings has occurred IN
one community the records show that
invariably each succeeding lynchlns
has been worse, as far as brutality IS
concerned, than the last previous one

NOTES ON THE TEXT

Verse 8. Macedonia was across the
Aegean Sea, which separates Asia from
Europe. This vision of "a man from
Macedonia" was the call that opened
the door for the Gospel in Europe.
Verse 10 We cndoavorod to go into
Macedonia. The narratives heretofore
has been in the pronoun eve" suggest
that Luke, the autiI-r of the Book OF
Acts. here become a member of the
party that first carried the gospel to
Europe.
Verse II. It seemed that not only
was the Holy Spirit in favor of an
swerin die call OF the word; but that
when they set sail a friendly wind en-
abled them to make a straight course
across the sea to Samothracia.
Verse r. Then Paul went to Phil
ippi enc of the important cities Of
Macedonia.
Verse IS. In places where the Jews
had no synagogue, it was MT usual Tor
them to have a regular meeting place
py the side OF a river, where they as
3emtied regularly for prayer
Verse IA. Thyatira was a City IN
Asia, famous for It's dyes, especially the
purple dye mentioned here.
Verse IS When she heard the word
she believed and gave open confession
bv acceptance Of baptism, she led hes
whole household into the faith and
made her home the place from which
the Church at Philipri became a per-
manent organization.
verse 25. They were bound in the
flesh but rlot in the spirit. At MD
night they dared to open worship sing
in, praises unto God. The other pri-
soners listened in with wonder at the
ir,1 icings Of these disciples in such
| tribulations.
Verse 26. A great earthquake. Not
necessarily a miraculous occurrence
Earthquakes were not usual at that
time in that part Of the world. The
calnness of Paul and Silas under such
tr-i~r circumstances was a manHes-
tatlon of supernatural power
