and realize the truth, with in
credulous dismay.
Surely we have not lost that
radiant youth forever! It can
not, must not, be that life shall
end in such a drab defeat. Is
there not still a chance for us
some blessed magic that
will make us new again
something that will restore that
vanished eagerness and joy?
Standing there, at my roads
turning, that cry rose in me,
as it has risen in you as it
must rise in each of us some
day-IS THERE NOT SOME
THING THAT WILL MAKE
US NEW?
Something "to make us new"
Where had I last seen that ex-
preston? In a prayer Au-
gusta Thomson's "Canticles Of
Love-" Religious? Yes, but is
there any religion in human
need? Rather, is not all need
'religion?" Do we not all pray
when we cry, in hunger and re-
morse
"If I could only be young
again! Start all over again?"
Like an answer, whispering,
the gentle words came back:
Slowly, with infinite care
and tenderness beyond all think
ing, Thou dost return into a
heart that once possessed Thee,
yet treasured not this Possess
sion. Why dost Thou ever re-
turn? There is no reason why,
except that Thou lowest us. BE
HOLD! I MAKE ALL THINGS
NEWT Make my heart new
that it may love Thee with
perfect love. Make my mind
new that it may forget its
knowledge of evil"
Behold! I make all things
new" Old words; how often I
had heard them as a youngster.
Yet now, for the first time, they
lived for me. Perhaps because,
for the first time, I realized my
need Of them. realized that I
had mot treasured" that "pos-
session" without which our eX-
istence is meaningless.
Life, Love, or God. call it
what name you will. once it
was ours. Once we were filled
with something which made
every hour radiant. And then
it passed. Our hearts grew cold
and old.
But did they need to? No!
Love did not leave us. Life did
not fail us. WE FAILED LOVE
AND LIFE. We closed the door
=. built a hard shell Of laziness,
conceit and fear.
But is it too late, now, to find
our youth again? Is there not
magic which will make us new?
There is!
An open heart where love may
flow again;
An eager mind, where light
may shine again;
And willing flesh, where life
may stir again
UNDO THE DOOR, AND LIFE
WILL MAKE YOU NEW

Our Symphony
It's Guarantee Fund


During the last three years. Washington has enjoyed
amount Of music and musical activity greater than any time
before in the city's history.
This is largely due to the National Symphony Orchestra
For the first time Washington has been par with the
other great capitals of the world in this repsec that it has
had its symphonic organization
This is far from being meaningless civic adornment
There scarcely anything enrching ennobling
than great music well played Since the inception of this
orchestra the National Capital has had more great music
than before.
For the first time the children of Washington have had
the opportunity of learning to love and appreciate the finest
music through the orchestra's chldren's concerts
And for the first time many grownups of Washington
had the opportunity of hearing this music for the
Of the National Symphony orchetra naturally
much less than those of any visiting orchestra
This week drive is underway complete the orchestra
fund for next year. In order guarantee
concerts $4,000 is necessary.
1t hoped that everyone who in position to aid
fine musical endeavor will do his part order that the de-
vpment Of the National Symphony already called the finest
young orchestra in the country, may continue.

Word comes from the jungles
of the Colombian Andes that
the government of Colombia has
just closed one of the most in
teresting transactions imagin-
able. It has sold pound of
emeralds for one million dollars.
Colombia, you know, is one of
the few places in the world
where superior emeralds are
found, and ever since the days
of the Spanish ConquistadoreS,
it has been famous for the great,
green stones with the hidden
fire.
In one of the widest and
most inaccessible valleys of the
Andes crouches the village of
Muzo, like an unclean beast. A
dirty, sordid village, but the
emerald capital of the world,
the site of the most valuable
emerald mines that the world
knows about.
A great fence, of the tough
est barbed wire, surrounds the
tract of ground where the em-
eraldS are mined, and wherever
you go, you see armed soldiers
on the job, little brown Colon
bians in blue drill uniforms, but
with very efficient rifles which
they know how to use. The
heat is stifling, thick, damp heat,
like a Turkish bath. Scores of
1ndianS-"Indios os"-Slouch about
the compound in their ponchos,
or squat by the guardhouse
watching the hundreds of chicks
that are pecking at the gravel.
There's a story in those chick
ems, for one doesn't find chick
ems around an emerald mine
without a pretty good reason.
Emeralds
Many years ago, the mine was
so amazingly rich that only the
largest stones of the finest
water were kept. The little ones
and the chips were thrown
away. For a good many years,
therefore, the chickens of Muzo
have been tucking emeralds into
their gizzards to assist the
processes of Nature. Now, that
large and perfect stones are
rare, a careful eye is kept on
the chickens, and the govern
ment, by law, owns the giz-
yards.
No women are permitted in
or about the mines because Of
an old Indian superstition which
says that when a woman comes
near, the emeralds hide deeply
underground and cannot be
found. It's killing work, and
the emerald mines Of Muzo
come pretty close TO being a
first class hell for the miser-
able ones drafted to the labor.

after the average mans lungs,
kidneys, brain or digestive
organs have given up the
struggle.
Naturally! Why shouldn't
men be victims of diseases of
these organs? Once you have
watched a normal, healthy man
ploughing his way through an
average meal, you are not in
the least surprised that his
digestive tract should go on
strike.
While a woman is counting
her calories and keeping
strictly to her slenderizing diet
or her doctors regime, a man
is stuffing everything down his
throat that appeals to his
palate from hot waffles or a
lobster cocktail to red beef,
broiled mushrooms and beer.

the man dining opposite me

Nazis Behead
3; Plan Mass
Murder Trials
Prepare Surprise Trial
and Quick Death
for Thaelmann

BERLIN. June Is. - The Nazi
murder courts are being speeded up
along with the intensifcation of the
crisis Of fascism Yesterday three
Berlin communists we're beheaded
by Nazi axmen. With faces turned
upward, their heads were severed
from their bodies on orders of the
Hitler court. One had been con-
victed of an alleged killing of Nazi
before Hitler came to power. Two
others we're charged with killing a
stool-pigeon.
Today Hans Ziegler and S, Ep-
stein we're condemned to a similar
death by the Moabit court in a
trial marked by such open prejudice
as to occasion surprise, even among
the hardened foreign correspondents
accustomed to such scenes. Both
were accused of being implicated in
the murder of the Nazi peryert,
Horst Vessel
That these hurried executions are
the prelude to a new murder attack
on the Communist Party of Ger
many. especially against its i'm
prisioned leader, Ernst Thaelmann,
is shown by the fact of the mass
trial Of 30 communists which
started today in the Reich Supreme
Court in Leipzig, the same court
which tried Dimitroff and the four
other defendants in the Reichstag
fire trial.

Steel Workers Of Ecorse,
Michigan, Ready to Strike

to be sent to President Roosevelt,
asking the president to prevent the
strike by raising the wages of the
steel workers.
The fun comes now. Honorable
Mr.. VIM. Voisine made everybody
present sign their names on an
empty sheet of paper. The people
signed their names and went home.
A few men stayed behind and asked
them to read the resolution. Some
official from the steel mill was there
also, and he read the resolutions,
and it was the same thing as
proposed: that we, the business men
of Ecorse ask the president to stop
the coming steel strike, and that's
all. The raising of the wages, oh
forget about that you are no one to
bother the president with things
like that.
So we can see that even the bust
ness mems sympathy is with the
workers, and that only the village
president and the steel mill officials
want to turn them against the
workers. I am anxious to see the
next issue of the Ecorse Advertiser,
to see how this rotten paper will
play up the above mentioned reso-
luton.

ECORSE, Michigan The Steel
workers of Ecorse are ready to
strike. The village president of
Ecorse is working overtime to avert
the strike, hand in hand with the
bosses. Here there is a general SEN
timent for the strike Many of the
workers say that they are ready to
fight for their unions and for
higher wages.
The village president of Ecorse
called a meeting for tonight in the
municipal building of the merchants
and business men to find a way to
avert the strike, and believe me,
some funny things happened there.
A man got the floor from River
Rouge; I was unable to learn his
name, and he talked about what
Ecorse ought to do, like Rouge, to
stop the strike. He talked and
talked, but I still do not know how
it was done. After him a business
man got up and he told the meeting

Britain To Seize
Cermarly's Credits
As Payments Stop

LONDON, June 15.-The fascist
moratorium on all foreign obliga-
tons has already evoked drastic
counter measures here Neville
Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequor, declared in the House of
Commons today that steps would be
taken to seize all German credits in
England and apply them on the I'M
paid loans. A way was left open for
maneuvering by Withholding the
carrying-out of this scheme until
July LIST.
The British action was inter-
preted in financial circles here as
definitely against the interests of
U. S. holders of German bonds be-
cause it ties up the largest availab able
source of German credit applicable
to bond payments for the use of
British holders.
Similar action is being considered
in France. 1t is stated in Paris that
the French government will act in
cooperation with the British in
establishing clearing house to
seize all German credits.
These steps are only the begin
ming as the full effect of the mora
torium has not been felt. The re-
suit will be tremendous under
mining of the already steeply re-
duced German foreign trade, and
especially the import of raw mate
rails and foodstuffs into Germany.
In Germany, prices on all neces-
sites of life are shooting up daily
