Keller Cheers
Hairdresser

The happiest girl in the whole
United States is one Rosemary
Mcdonald. beauty shop operator
employed by the Condos Beauty
Shop, in Chicago. She is happy be.
cause she received a long distance
call from Ruby Keeler's manager
in Annapolis, who informed her
that Miss Keller would like her to
come to Annapolis for two weeks,
where she is working on location
in the new Warner Bros. film,
Anchors Aweigh," and look after
her hair while there.
Miss Keller made this unusual
and certainly most delightful re-
quest as far as the beauty operator
was concerned because it is Miss
Keeler'S habit to always remember
good work and honest effort. 1t
so happened that while Miss
Keller was a visitor in Chicago re-
Gently, Miss Mcdonald arranged
her hair to her perfect satisfac-
ton. and, because she enjoys re-
warding individuals who deserve
it, she asked her manager to call
this girl and employ her during
the period she would spend in
Annapolis.
Upon receiving the long distance
call today, Miss Mcdonald became
so excited she had to leave the
beauty shop where she is employed
and go home to calm down. Miss
Mcdonald will double" as an
extra when not busy looking after
Miss Keller.
She is due to arrive from Chi.
cago by plane Sunday at Washing
ton, where she will be met by Miss
Keeler's chauffeur, who will drive
her to Annapolis.

is a practical woman. not an

that her husbands years of work

She pumps down an ace, an ace
that Stephen was always afraid

The company comes across for
the final reel and Steve Chase

Modern F~lagelIants
By E. A. Adams
For the Literary Service Bureau

The 18th century gave to the
world a set Of religious bigots
known as "flagellants". They
were a set Of fanatics or extrem-
lists who were characterized by
austere MEN,; they publicly
scourged themselves, hence the
name. This was done as evidence
of self-denial and for spiritual
growth and development. This
fanaticism ran its course and the
votaries became extinct. But the
spirit is still alive.
W. have modern flagellants,
but under different names; and
they are as blatant, as unreason-
able and intolerant as their fool
ish predecessors of the 18th CEN
fury. Consider the means Of en-
lightenment now afforded, the ia
natics of today are less excusable
than those of the 18th century.
Because Of inconsistencies in
their lives many believe these
modern flagellants to be hypo-
critics. They go to almost any
limit to win converts to their
cults, but, as a general thing,
both Individually and collectively
they fail to practice what they
preach. SO, whether %hypocrites or
misguided fanatics, they do harm
to the cause Of Christianity. They
are a discredit to the cause! and
despite their zeal and their blat-
ancy, they make but little helpful
contribution to human progress.
The prediction is that these mod
ern flagellants will become ex-
tinct as did their predecessors of
the 18th century.

is divine judgment for It Is Jeho-
yah who declares He will call the
nations there, to judge them. So,
Jehovah win judge all nations.
l. National Attitudes. Jehovah
was to judge the people, the ma
tions of the earth in regard To
their attitude toward the people
Of Israel. so God will judge the
nations in reference to their atti-
tudes. The drink problem, de-
graduation of Womanhood, great
moral issues and racial relations
are included and involved.
2. National Behaviorisms. "A
mong the nations might domi-

r Illustrations off tyrannnical
dominance. These nations even
undertake to make the church of
God subservient to the unright-
eous state regime. They may
"get by, for q while but God
will call them into Judgment.
3. The Personal Aspect. Nations
are made upof individuals. So
there is individual responsibility
as well as collective responsible

ment seat" Divine Judgment
deals with every individual
through his conscience. Yes, ev-
