because Reunion in Vienna" is an
even saltier comedy, this early Sher-
wood comedy does not seem quite so
juicy as it used to. 1t is amusing.
playful and splendidly facetious. But
at the moment it lacks something.
All the players need to give more to
it than they do. 1t requires some
thing more than the mere recitation
Of lines. Several of its better sparks
were missing last night.

LOOKING BACK
Fear of Scandal
BY VIDETTA ISL

(For Literary Service Bureau
Back in other days women were
"mortally afraid of being talked
about" A man would not visit the
home of aonther man, in his absence.
If one did, the wife would see to it
that blinds were open, and shades
raised. If it was summer time they
would sit on the porch. But now,
it is "all different"
In those days it was considered i'm
proper for a woman to go to the Of
flee of a doctor, a dentist, or even of
a photographer, without some one ae-
companying her. But "them days is
gone forever" and women, married
and single, 50 wherever they choose
and remain as long as they choose
Those were the days of chaperon-
es. Often little brother or little sister
"went along" with big sister and her
beau, not for fear of what they might
do, but so the people would not talk
about them. Now, girls down in their
teens go anywhere, go to parties and
go to distant communities without
chaperones. Better the fear Of scandal
and the observance of conventions
than the laxness Of these times.

SOCIAL SINS
A Summary
BY DR.. A. G. BEARER

Cor Literary Service Bureau)
Text. Be not deceived; God it not
Knocked; whatsoever a mar sOweth.
that shall be also reap-Gal. 6:7.
The series began with the thought
expressed in the text, mo man liveth
to himself and no man dieth unto
himself" 1t means no man can be
Independent of his fellows-that every
mans conduct effects Others. This
text means that he may expect from
others that which he metes out to
others.
1. Physiologically 1t Is True. Every
where are human wrecks which are
the result of sins against the bodies
of these surerers. Suffering thus, they
are reaping in keeping with their sow
ing.
2. Heredity Considered. When a
man sees the effects of his evil life
upon his own children. and grief
tears and distresses him. he is in the
midst Of his reaping.
8. Rembrse Will Come. When one
has lived his life harmfully to others
and when he finally realizes the evil
wrought and that it is too late to
prevent consequences, the deep sor-
row and remorse are a part of his
reaping.
A. R%etributive Justice Comes In.
Justice in memorable; it is relentless
It demands "the pounr of flesh" The
punishment may be deep sorrow,
h~eart-rending disappointments, shame
andd isgrace, scorn and sontempt,
ostracism by ones fellows, penury in
cid age; but the reaping is inevitable.
Vest, social sins affect others
many others; and they bring THEN
own punishment. This is the force Of
the text used here.

CCC CAMP NEWS
Company No. 1928

Our first council meeting was held
last Wednesday night We accom-
plished the task Of appointing var
ious officers for our government.
After the meeting, there was a pro-
gram. Harry Swanson made wonder
full speech, the subject of which was
Keep Climbing" After talking to a
number of fellow members and CO.
workers, l find that many Of them
don't have faith in it. They seem to
think that it Is a good thing but don't
think it can be made a success. We
now have a chance to make good. and
also to make historp. This chance
is one of the greatest ways to learn
to be good citizens in the cities or
states in which we live. We should
have faith In our new government,
and be willing to cooperate with it.
Faith must be good for you. Fear is
a poison, and faith is the antidote.
Fear produces failure and misery;
faith produces happiness and success
Faith not only should, but does, ac-
complish lots of things. | am not
referring to any forms of religious
faith. I am speaking of certain at
titudes of mind. 1t strengthens the
mind and helps US to think clearly. 1t
creates ambition, confidence, deter
is the secret of efficiency, success.
So if each and everyone Of US
would cease to doubt and would have
faith in ourselves, we could make
this 60 over big.
And always remember:
eff the hill of success you would
ascend.
If the medal of honor you would
win,
You must not stop to pine and sigh
Just because others are passing by.
But keep climbing"
The road may be rugged, steep and
long,
And you might have to travel it
alone
In the heat and in the bitter cold,
But keep your eyes on your goal.
And keep climbing.

CARELESSNESS

A few nights ago another distress
ing and terribly painful accident hap
pened on the highways of Minnesota,
due to no lights on a hay rack, this
time between Princeton and Mime
apolis. Two automobiles coming in
opposite directions were about to pass
one another. A farmer with team.
wagon and hay rack was in between
and without lights. Of course the oc-
cupants Of the auto coming up from
behind did not see the wagon and
hay rack before crashing into it. The
result was that the wife of the auto dri-
yer was almost killed and may die. Her
nose was entirely shattered from tim
Der that came flying through the
windshield and the surgeon picked
splinters from her head for two hours.
The husband and driver suffered Lace
rations on his jaw and was also pune
tured from wood
1t ought to be a lesson to everybody
to not venture out on the highways
after dark without some light, at
least a lantern. Such carelessness
is inexcusable.

money in a year because he could
save on approximately 900 different
things; that is, if he bought from 900
different sources.
Saving 1Oc on one commodity, CSC
on another, and S. on the third may
accumulate to sum large enough to
pay ones taxes on farm or a home.
Furthermore, it may avoid depres-
siOns because if commodity is
cheaper, it is used more and more
people are employed in manufacture
ing it.
According to Henrik Shipstead, our
per capita debt in this country is
about 1884 for every man, woman and
child. Spending of government funds
cannot last forever. The Biblical
mama cannot fall from heaven for
ever, although it fell for a while. The
time is coming when we shall all
have to pay for what the government
has been spending.
1t is said that Andrew Mellon has
so much money that if he laid a silver
dollar along a silver dollar his money
would form line two and one half
times around the earth. l do not
believe that Mellon himself knows
how much money he has. What good
does that much money owned by one
man do to the rest of the country?
l feel that tax law should be
passed making it impossible for any
one individual to accumulate that
much money. AT the present time a
man is taxed 30c on every hundred
dollars that he has in the bank.
Surprising that, after his securities
exceed $4,000, the tax is doubled.
making it 6Oc on every 500 that he
has in the bank. Then after his
money, in the bank or invested in
a corporation, exceeds $4,000, the tax
is doubled again making it S1.20 on
every 500; and after his money ex-
ceeds $4,000 the tax is doubled again
making $2.40 ON every $1O0; and con-
tinue to increase at that rate. In
that case, the money in the bank in
creaSeS an arithmetic progression,

exceeds S150,OO0, his taxes will be
$3.50; and if it exceeds $250,00O, the
taxes will be $153.60. According to
that, it is not practical to have very
much more than about $150,000 in
the bank. Maybe my tax proposal
is too high.
1t is not my business to make laws
or study taxes too far in detail for
it will do very little good. Neverthe-
less, my said plan is one to discour-
age people from accommodating mil
lions, and at the same time to give
the government some tax money from
the people who can we'll afford it.
Last week Mr.. A. E. G. said that
must either have the facts or l am
getting close to them. He also men
toned some books where the facts are.
l am sorry to say that l have not
read any of them. l got my material
from History, Civfcs, and CONNER
cfal Law which l took at high school,
business college and Dunwoody Insti-
tute. I do a great deal of general
reading too.
