LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson =

about it's base. Up and up its
great shaft scars, out of the
noise and filth. the conflict
and confusion-into the end
less blue.
And against that blue, it no
longer seems a building. Its
substance vanishes. It is a
cleaning fountain-a simmer
ing mirage-a white dream.
And suddenly I realize that
that is exactly what it is-a
dream-the soaring symbol of
our troubled, human dream.
Just as this building rose tri-
umphant out of the filth of al
leys, the darkness Of roofs, so
did the dream which created it
rise above the ignorance and
ugliness of our stupid spirits.
Wilfully we wall ourselves
into dark railways Of spirit and
flesh. But out of those rat
ways we send a shining signal
soaring up to God!'
And I thought of all of us
the confusion in me, the confu-
sion in you-the loneliness and
malice, the hunger and hate
the whole ugly clutter which we
have made out of lives which
might have been so beautiful
and free. Day after day, year
after year-from birth to death
we crawl through that clut-
ter, grieving, rebelling.
All this we do to ourselves.
And yet
Always, in every life, there is
a Tall Building!
Always, above the darkness,
rises some clean hope, some
shining faith-some shaft of
beauty signaling to God.

We hear so much of vita
minis these day that they are
as common as sunlight, for all
of their mysteriousness. Vita
min A is called anti-ophalmic
because of its connection with
curing an eye disease. It is
found in 81 varieties of COM
mon foods covering practically
all the edible vegetables and
fruits and being especially
prominent in cod liver oil, egg
yolk, milk and spinach. Vita
minis appear to be totally alb
sent from fresh meat and fish
with the exceptions of the
liver, kidney, brains and fish
roe.
A lack Of Vitamin A brings
on inflammation of the eyelids,
a disease which, if neglected,
leads to blindness. It causes
a low resistance to infections
of the eyes, ears, and sinus.
Other results of it's absence
are stunted growth and a les
sening of the possibilities of
longevity.
Vitamin B is called anti
nerrotic because its discovery
was the result of the curing
of a nervous disease. 1t is

I sit working. ELSIE ROBINSON
But it is hard to hold myself
to my work. It is hard to for

have been living and the sweet
silence.
So I prowl around. hating
walls, hating sounds, thinking
how dreadful city life is. These
miles of dark, filthy alleys.
these acres of ugly. huddled
roofs-how hopeless they make
our human life seem!. If this
is all we can do for ourselves
after millions of years of oppor-

Abruptly I stop-look up.
Vaulting from the darkness

Seeks Reform

Senator Glass of Virginia
knows all about banks and
bankers. He is the legislative
father of the Federal Reserve
Act. He is working hard for
a reform of our whole banking
system. He is a strong advo-
cate of q unified banking sys-
tenn. He says there are three
State banks for every national
bank with their consequent
numerical influence upon the
Congressman who do the Vot-
ing"
Senator Glass is on record as
saying II think the curse OF
the banking system of this
country is the dual system"
The question is, How can the
people get rid of it? When the
answer to that question comes.
the people can be relied upon
to compel the Congress to unity
the existing dual system.
In recent testimony before
the Senate Banking Committee,
Winthrop w. Aldrich, the new
president Of the Chase National
Bank, agreed with Senator
Glass that this country ought
to have a unified banking sys-
tenn, but expressed doubt
whether the dual system could
be abolished without a ConStl-
tutional amendment.
There is, however, expert
opinion that no Constitutional
amendment is necessary TO
make the change.
A year ago this month, Wal
ter wyatt, General Counsel to
the Federal Reserve Board
rendered an opinion that Con-
gress has the power under the
Constitution to provide for a
complete unification of COM
mercial banking.
These are the three main
grounds for this opinion:
l. The general power If the
United States to create and
maintain a banking system.
2. The power Of Congress to

known as a cure for scurvy.
Only a limited diet, totally
lacking in fruits and vegetables,
would cause one to have a de.

is called anti-rachitic because it
protects from the disease known
as ricketts,, in which the bones
are unable to calcify or harden.
An absence of the vitamin tends
also to impair the lungs. The
elements can be produced in
foods by irradiation with ultra
violet rays, and it also gets into
the system by exposure to the
sun.
The E Vitamin is essential in
animal reproduction. This anti
sterility substance is found in
greatest abundance in the oil
of the wheat germ, in seeds and
green leaves, and in beef liver
and egg yolk. The amount
varies widely in milk and is al
most absent in animal tissue.

The Human Side of the News
Story of the Mysterious Vitamins
.Bu EdWin C.. Hill.

Vitamins-that's what we call
them-and they are described
aptly as minute quantities of
substance which are to the
human machine what the igni-
ton spark is to the automobile"
We know where they are, where
they come from, what they do.
And now, since the American
Medical Association has de-
termined on an exhaustive
study of their mysterious pro
perties. perhaps we will find
out definitely what some Of
them arc.
It is some so years since
German and English scientists
discovered that certain other
elements besides these four pure
carbohydrates (Which are the
sugar and Starches) the pro-
teins or albuminous substances,
fats and salts were essential if
life was to be sustained. Ex-
periments on animals showed
that these substances of them
selves were insufficient for new
growth and for supplanting
worn out and dead tissue.
Thus began the painstaking
research work into foods and
their effects. An English Scien-
tist, Hopkins, fed known un-
mixed diet of carbohydrates to
animals. They gradually wasted
away to a dying stage, where
upon he added milk. Imme-
diately they began to recover.

If "the New Deal" in govern
ment, to which the Roosevelt
Administration is pledged, is to
give to the American people a
square deal in the fruits Of
government, it must include a
unification of the American
banking system.
Instead Of a strong, simple
and we'll administered system
of banking in the United States
today, the American people are
handicapped by the combined
weaknesses, intricacies and poor
administration of 49 different
banking syStems-one for each

"And that's what makes you
happy. No job, no work, no

you the same glow of joy as

his inferiority complex.
more women have tied men
to them by laying their heads
and their burdens on the
shoulders Of the So called
stronger sex than by putting
their own shoulders to the

But" protested Mrs. Divot,
"every young mans Big Idea
today seems to be to dodge mar

And every modern girls Big Idea
seems to be to find a job and
escape the responsibility Of keep

"And that" declared Mrs.
Green triumphantly. sis why so
many marriages go blah. and so
many women go to sanitariums.
When you dodge the "responsi-

them on him. Offer him instead Char

real family's real trip to Bermuda.
Offer him Heluiz Washburne's fas-

mothers letters of a trip around the
world written for her own little boy
back home. Offer him "The Pilgrims
Party or "The Cruise of Mr.. Chris
TOPPER Columbus" by Sadybeth and
Arson Lowitz, two humorous and very
interesting picture books that acquaint
younger readers with stirring history.
Perhaps Bill wants to know more
about motormen and firemen and what
they really do. Mrs Kuh's books for
small children will help him out there.
Perhaps he would like "How 1t All
Began" a book that is delightfully."-
written and illustrated by Janet Small
ley. It will tell Bill how primitive
man watched the lightning and found
he, too, could make fire by twirling
two sticks around together. Later
man found other ways of heating and
lighting and at last we got our
matches, gas, oil and electricity. The
book goes on, in the simplest fashion,
to show the beginnings of messages,
of travel, clothing, houses. 1t is
thrilling sort of real fairy tale that
particularly appeals to boys like Bill.

and even to Egypt. But though the

ter does not finally reach him until
he is back in New York again. The

COURT UPHOLDS CONSCI-
ENTIOUS OBJECTION
Objected To Compulsory Mill
tarY Training

Judge Joseph N. Ulman has
ruled that the action of the
University of Maryland in bar
ring a student who objected
upon religious grounds to the
compulsory military training
constituted an illegal religious
test, and he ordered the student
reinstated.
His decision was handed
down in a mandamus action
brought against the University
by Ennis H. Coale, 20 years
old, of Churchville, Hartford
county, one of two students
dropped from the institution
when they raised questions of
conscience and religion against
the required military drills at
College Park.
If religious conscientious
DIRECTORS are excluded from
their State-supported univer-
sity except upon pain of re-
linquishing their religious he
liefs and principles, then a re-
ligious test has been imposed
as a condition of their enjoy
ment of it's educational priv
ileges," Judge Ulman ruled.
A major point in the defense
offered by the university thru
Willis R. Jones, Deputy Attor-
ney-General, had been that the
university did excuse from mil
itary training members of the
Society of Friends, recognized
as conscientiously opposed to
military activity, but did not
feel that Coale, a member of
the M e h odist Episcopal
Church, could claim exception
on that ground. OF this Judge
Ulma nsaid:
ct is clear to the court that
such exemption, coupled with
a refusal to grant full-like
exemption to Coale, constitutes
an illegal dis m n a t. on
against him." In argument,
the Deputy Attorney-General
suggested that if these is such
discrimination the remedy lies
not in granting a like exemp-
ton to Coale, but in prohibit
ton such exemptions in the
future to Friends and cited a
decision of the Court of APP
peals said to support the prop
osition.
