We Must BE Ready

CHURCHES have founded their theologies by
~ casting out the miracle of Malchus. The theo-
logans have stressed the Importance of mans faith
in Jesus Christ. They have not been able to attain
the flaming conception Of Jesus Chrst's faith in
man.
To the fundamentalists anything less than regi-
mented dogma is sheer atheism. They seem to in
that the individual not only shall believe in God
but define Him. The second requirement is harder.
man well may reject the Deity of the denomna
lions because he is small Innity does not need
the reinsurance Of belief. An honest I don't know"
was never yet a sin.
We have been told that the faith Of man can
move mountains. but a mountain also can be moved
with pick and shOv-l and the shoulder muscles, and
It seems 10 me much fairer to the mountain to move
10 IN this manner.
Not one of us can toss his faith high enough to
make magic ropeway up TO God. In the end We
all must stand inadequate by faith and deed but
ready for the hand of Christ because We bleed and
suffer.

Jack Rockefeller Jr'S place is called the Rainbow
room and it is located on the siXty-ffth floor of
his building in Rockefeller City. The name Rain
bow room is not exactly original as there has been
a place in Chicago called the Rainbow Gardens for
some years. Jacks place is much more high class
than the Rainbow Gardens
All gentlemen wishing to dance must bring their
own women friends unattached girls positively
are forbidden to sit for company at the tables or
in the back room and pick-ups will be requested to
quietly leave the premises under penalty of the law
In a general way, the place resembles the better
places on the old Bowery, years ago. with one fea-
ture borrowed, or revived from the old Murrays
lobster palace which Princeton students used to go
to on football night in order to get thrown out Of,
twenty years ago.
Like in the better BoWery places, the tables are
set on sort of raised platform around the dance
hall floor And like in Murray's, the floor revolves
around and around at times when the musicians
are playing.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN =

INFECT of speech is a mental emotional social
~ and economic handicap. 1t interferes with our
enjoyment Of life. 1t interferes with ability to
earn a living.
The organs in the body concerned with speech
include the lips the teeth, the tongue, the snuses.
the nose the vocal cords the larynx, the lungs and
those parts of the brain and nervous system which
carry the impulses Of speech
Anything that interferes with the integrity and
normal character of any Of these organs will natlr-
ally affect speech.
Therefore, hareip, cleft palate, missing teeth too
wide spacing of the teeth adenoids chronic infec-
ton in the nose and in the sinuses nodules the
vocal cords paralysis Of the vocal cords will ser
ously affect a persons speech
INVESTIGATIONS have shown that the majority
l. of speech defects are associated with mental
difficulties rather than physical difficulties. There
are very few persons indeed who have serious de-
fects Of the organs Of speech
There are, however, a considerable number Of
mental emotional twists or fears Of various things
which result eventually in speech difficulty.
An attempt to change a naturally left-handed
person TO a right-handed may be associated with
a defect like suffering.
Among the most common OF speech dlfnculues
are of course spng and suffering. Lisping Is the
condition usually called baby talk" 1t represents
an inability to pronounce letters or certain combina-
ton of letters.
CTUTTERING has been described and discussed
- many times in these columns. In every case
a study should be made to determine whether the
sufferer Is suffering from nervous exhaustion and
whether there is not in his mind some block which
reflects itself in difficulty Of speech
To aid the sufferer, all defects OF his organs OF
speech that can be remeded should be properly
treated Parents and teachers should refrain from
ridiculing children with speech defects.
Much nay be done by teaching correct technlc
in the use of the voice but Of greatest importance
is the development OF confidence In the aohlIy 70
speak easily.

Jones. I'm kind of skeptical Of
that.
Remember last year when they
had fifty men down on Lombardy
avenue, digging up the street and
putting it back down again. And
you had to be a good Democrat
to get on the Job. with more pay
than l can afford for inexperi-
enced help in the store"
Everybody knows the Civil
Works Administration last year
wasn't a complete success" adj
mitted John Jr., still, the S400,-
100000 they spent would have had
tn be just given out in relief, any,
way, and we got something out
OF it.
"Welton park looks a great deal
better than it diG year ago; that
dangerous corner at Venable ana
Main was eliminated, and the air.
ports twice as good. This year
the councils got a real plan all
figured out, as you know. to ac-
complish some really worthwhile
things for the town if they get
CWA or public work relief money
again. And politics can be cut
out of it if We'll holler loud
enough.
Washington definitely ordered
politics OUTPUT it has to leave
local situations up to local peo-
pie. Well just have to holler if
Democrats start getting all the
jobs"
ia JONES still shook his head.
a Il worry about it" he said.
Looks to me as if we're building
up a lot of people who would
rather just scrape along on relief
than get out and work hard for
something better. It's growing,
and it's likely to bust the govern
ment."
Jones, Jr. had a hint of snap in
his voice as he answered: yes;
and until we can say to three out
OF four who are on relief, Here's
a pretty good job that'll enable
you to live better than you do
noWr we're still going to have the
problem.
There's only one answer to the
relief problem-jobs!"

Joneses consider the plans for

concealed true costs and true
ownership.
Such was Mr.. Walkers own eX-
perience. AS chairman of Okla
homas corporation commission,
he matched a $4,000 investiga-
ton fund against the unlimited
resources of the Southwestern
Bell Telephone Company and
came out second best. His sub
ject was too far-reaching for any
thing less than a federal inquiry,
he found.
This year he got his chance.
His success in regulating other
Oklahoma utilities - electricity,
gas, railroads, cotton gins-had
won him a reputation among such
persons as Milo B. Maltbie, Joseph
B. Eastman, David Lilienthal and
Frank P. walsh, all of whom have
access to President Roosevelt's
ear. Mr.. Walker was named a
member of the federal communi-
cations commission, and subse-
quently was made chairman of
that body'S telephone division.
He lost no time in dispatching
questionnaires to the A. T. & T.,
it's associates and subsidiaries,
asking information about their
financial setup and corporate in
terrelation. The replies will form
the groundwork for January's
hearings. But that is only be-
ginning.
THE commission has almost no
Il money-beyond the funds of
the federal radio commission
which it absorbed. The new con-
gress will be asked to give it am
pie funds-some say at least
S750,000 will be needed-with
which to hire expert accountants
and Investigators who can piece
together the jigsaw puzzle Of A.
T. & T. and show congress
whether telephone rates are too
high.
If the inquiry proves rates are
too high, congress will be asked to
give the commission power to chop
them down. And Mr.. Walker
would tackle that assignment with
relish.
He does not view his job as that
Of a judicial umpire between the
interest of the public and the in
terest of the utility, but as a
champion of the public interest.
The commissions job" he says,
lis to see that the public pays
fair rates based on honest values,
not on millions of dollars in write
ups"
1t is said to be his thesis that
"a public utility is guilty until it
is proved innocent"
