tions; license is an abomination to
me; the new moons and sabbaths,
the call of assemblies, / cannot

solemn meeting" An oblation is
an offering which was vain because
presented by hypocrites who merely
went through a form. The combi
nation of unholy living with the
outward pretense of holiness is a
stencil in Gods nostrils.

Hebrew months began with the new

then required. There is a heavenly

ligion accompanied by social sins
and abominable wickedness.
V. Is. "And when ye spread
forth your hands, / will hide mine

many prayers, will not hear; your
hands are full of blood" The
spreading forth of hands was a for
NAL expression of prayer, but when
ones life is sinful and out of har-

could not answer them.
V. Is. Wash you, make you
clean, put away the evil of your do

to do evil" Here Isaiah names the
conditions God requires for the res

of the cleansing Of sin from the life

A Challenge To Young People

During the past 40 years tens Of
thousands of young men and women
of many nationalities and denomi-
nations have sought free training
for Christian service at home or
abroad, offered by the Moody Bible
Institute of Chicago. More than
1000 students enrolled in its Day
and Evening schools last year.
While for certain special courses a
high school background is required,
and college training desirable, yet
grammar school training will admit
to its General Course. English is
taught to any deficient in it's use.
The Bible ranks first in all Insti-
tute courses, but instruction is fur
nished in such subjects as Sunday
school administration, daily vaca-
tion Bible school, gospel music,
public speaking, home economics,
hygiene, and manual training. In

Early Wrong Impressions

DR.. Talmage said: Il stood in the
house of a Long Island village not
long ago and saw beautiful tree
That is fine tree / said to the own
er, but what curious crook in it. y
'Yes," he said, II planted that
tree. When it was year old
went to New York and worked as a
mechanic year or two, ard when |
came back / found that they had al
lowed something to stand against
the tree, and SO it has always had
that crook in it,"
What parallel story we can find
in many adults today who received
wrong impressions when children.
The crook adult is such because
there was allowed crook in his
early training, some wrong impress
sions gotten in the training and
examples of parents and seniors in
the home.

peal to the judgments of the Lord

SPEEDWAY PUBLICITY

MITH1N few months the activities at
the indianapolis Motor Speedway will
attract the attention of the nation and the
world.
This year, as before, the task of handling
the publicity for the race will be monumental
And this year, for the first time in many,
Steve flanagan will not be on hand for this
job.
Today the officials of the Speedway an
nounce the selection Of Joe Cops for the post
Newspaper men who know Steve must know
Joe Cops, because theirs was an inseparable
combination.
Mr. Cops now is located in, Chicago. His
background is packed with experiences in edi-
torial rooms Of newspapers in various parts of
the nation, principally in Miami and New
York.
The Speedway management has made a
fine choice in selecting Joe Cops to succeed
Steve flanagan in difficult job.

SOUTHERN WOMEN SPEAK

THE Dixie gentlemen who have been lynch
ing black men stand condemned by the
very flower Of womanhood they have pre-
tended to protect
In Atlanta this week the Conference of
Southern White Women for the Prevention
Of Lynching passed resolutions calling on
President Roosevelt to work with governors
and congressman to eradicate this evil. 1t was
this conference that four years ago served
notice on men that they held no commission
to protect the honor and virtue of southern
women by means Of mob murders.
With a membership of 100000 white
women in eleven southern states, the confer
ence can be said to speak for southern women
rather generally.
The conference did not specifically indorse
the pending Wagner Costigan BILL providing
for federal intervention to halt lynchings. But
there is argument for such a measure in the
conferences statement that:
Past experience has demonstrated that
state and local authorities and the public
opinion behind them have failed to bring to
justice members of lynching mobs although
their identities have been known"
The federal anti-lynching bill does not de-
prive localities of an opportunity to preserve
constitutional rights to their citizens. 1t mere
ly arms the federal government with the right
to step in and punish lynchers and cowardly
officials when localities have failed
The attitude of President Roosevelt toward
this problem was indicated in his message to
congress on Jan. 3. In his list of crimes that
call on the strong arm Of the government for
their immediate suppression and on the
country for an aroused public opinion" the
President catalogued lynching along with or
gained banditry, cold-blooded shooting and
kidnapping
False local pride should not be allowed to
kill the Wagner Costigan bill.

IN THE COTTON MILLS

WHATEVER others may think of NRA,
w women cotton mill workers know it for
their friend.
A year and a half ago weekly earnings of
full-time women workers in South Carolina
mills were 1865 Today the lowest paid work
ers receive $12 under terms of the cotton
textile code.
A year and a half ago fifty .f1ve-hour
work week was in effect in South Carolina
mills. Today no worker is employed more
than forty hours under the code.
The womens bureau of the United States
department of labor compiled the figures of
pre-code days and compares them with ex-
listing conditions, concluding that MIRA
definitely has raised work standards of women
IN cotton mills" 1t adds that more women
work in cotton mills than in any other manu-
featuring industry except garment making.

PANHANDLERS ON TRIAL,

ME street panhandler has been one of the
most distressing features of the entire
depression. vast number of people who
never before gave dime to beggars have
shelied out rather freely to them in recent
years because it has been obvious that lots
OF men who really would prefer to be working
nave had to choose between begging and
starvation
But times are picking up now. and New
York City authorities the other day began an
experiment to see Just what percentage of
street beggars are really deserving cases. +"
They arrested sixty-three panhandlers on the
streets OF Manhattan. investigated them. and
offered CWA jobs 10 those who wanted them.
Seven of the sixty-three were tickled to
death to get the jobs. The other fifty-six,
being men who preferred begging to working
Immediately were sent to jail

UTILITY STOCKHOLDERS

TINE Indianapolis Power and Light Com
L pany is charging the consumers of this
community more for light than is charged by
the public utilities Of New York, Chicago
Philadelphia Detroit. Los Angeles, Baltimore
Pittsburgh, san Francisco Milwaukee or
Buffalo.
Why should Indianapolis be such a glazing
exception among the municipalities Of this
country?
Sherman Minton, public counselor has dis
covered some Of the reasons. which have been
printed exclusively in The Times during the
last few days. Others will come out in the
rate reduction hearing on Feb. l.
Undoubtedly one reason for these high rates
is the fact that the power and light company
issued an enormous amount of securities dur
ing the boom times. This was mistake which
was committed by many businesses during the
nineteen twenties But the light company is
exceptional in that it expects its customers to
pay for this mistake
Certainly if the management of the cor
poration was guilty of an error in business
judgment that was not the consumers fault.
Its stockholders, like those Of many other
concerns. should shoulder their depression loss
Rates must come down.

A LAND PLAN

TOR decades conditions have cried out for
the formulation Of an intelligent land
policy for America.
Mechanical farming, changing habits and
diets, the slowing down Of population in
creases, the falling of Of foreign trade, all
have created a surplus of farmers.
Agriculture Assistant Secretary Tugwell
says we can produce all the food we need with
half the present number Of farmers. Science.
birth-control, other factors have reversed the
dire forecasts of Dr. Malthus but they have
raised other prospects almost as dismal
In prosperous 1929 more than % per cent
Of farm families worked for incomes of $500
and less. On the ragged fringe Of this poor
farmer class are hundreds of thousands of
families facing actual famine. Many in the
rural slums being fed by charity, once
prosperous farmers are being turned into peas
ants Their condition is hopeless unless pro-
vision is made for their migration The land
they occupy is leached worked out, eroded
tax-delinquent.
In the far west is another land problem.
The 100000 acres OF public domain rapidly
is deteriorating under neglect Overgrazing is
running watersheds, causing destructive foods
sitting reservoirs, destroying incalcuabIe values
for all time.
1t is another tribute to the administration
that this dual land problem is being tackled.
President Roosevelt asks that $25, O00,OO be set
aside to purchase submarginal land and re-
turn it to forests, game preserves, recreation
refugees Eventually the plan is to retire So.
oO0,oO0 acres at cost Of $3.50, ,OO0 This en-
tails the resettlement of sublnarginaI farmers
and the probable expansion of the subsistence
homestead project
The new plan supplements work of the
civilian conservation corps the erosion con-
troll projects of CWA and the Wallace plans
for restoring migratory game bird sanctuaries
on a large scale.
Under the pending Nye-Taylor bill a vav
is open for the government to save the west
ern public domain from further destruction
This measure would provide for grazing dis
trlctS under which the federal government
would regulate their use as it now does the
national forests
The survival of America depends unon
preservation and wise use of its basic re-
source, the land.

BURNED PAPERS

ENORMER POSTMASTER GENERAL WAL
TER BROWN would seem to be in spot
where some sort of explanation is due
A senate committee is told by his former
stenographer that he ordered postoffice files
containing data on ocean and air mai sub
sides, burned just before he left office last
March.
Mr.. Brown denies it, asserting that only
his private correspondence was put in the fire
In either case, the sought-for files seem to be
missing.
Here is a situation that needs a whole
lot OF daylight. If a former cabinet member
destroyed important government documents
Just before going out of Office, the country
has right to know all about it,
II, on the other hand, he did nothing of
the kind, and the important documents lust
happened to get mislaid, that fact also should
be substantiated.
Either way, Mr.. Brown would seem to be
due for an appearance before the senate COM
mittee.

manage a home. Then, to get a
home. she has to have lessons in
the art Of charming men. once
she has caught hers she may find
herself faced with maternal
duties. so she should, by all means,
understand the rudiments Of child
training.
And there you are. It's large
order. A boy has to know only
one thing well-his profession. He
can begin early TO qualify him
self for particular business and
proceed steadily toward his goal.
But the poor girl has to be sort
of Jack-of- all-trades, and hence
is master of none. She must be
able to develop into a good wife, a
mother, a domestic, a business
person, a good citizen, a cult
waited member of some social
group and, if possible, be an in
tellectual person as well.
She can't plan her future be-
cause she doesn't have the slight
est idea what it will be. So she
goes on guessing about herself
and getting her education in
hit-or- miss fashion.
Confronted with such a job the
average man would decide it
couldn't be done. But he con-
tinues to expect a woman to be
expert in everything.
