Representative John Rankin of
Mississippi, one of the co-authors of
the bill to create the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority, tells me that he has
recently visited many farm homes
which are being served with iva
power.
The rates these farmers are paying
is cents a kilowatt-hOur for the first
SO kilowatt-hours month, cents
a kilowatt-hour for the next so, 2
cents for the next 100, cent kilo-
watthour for the next 200, and 4
mills a kilowatt-hour for the next
1000.
This not only pays for their cleo
tricity but it also amortizes those
rural lines and pays them out in not
more than 20 years.

have give thee" But he soon learned
that the apostle had something of inf
nitely greater value to give-not silver
and gold, but courage and faith; not
perishable treasures, but imperishable
life.
May not this beggar be taken as a
symbol of humanity in general? There
is an appalling amount of physical
poverty in the world, and it arouses
our sympathy as it testers in darkened
tenements in teeming cities or breeds
in dismal shacks on bleak mountain
sides. This physical poverty is chal-
lenge to every Christian, to every citi-
zen, to establish a social order based
on justice and tempered by mercy, in
which organized greed shall no longer
have power to exploit the weak and OPP
press the poor.
But there is spiritual poverty more
appalling. Vast multitudes are poor of
high thought, destitute Of sympathy
and love, bereft of honor and rever-
ence, slaves of passion and prisoners of
despair. The most pitiful paupers are
those who have nothing but money.
Their bodies may be dressed in silks
and satins, but their souls are clothed
in filthy rags. They feed their physical
appetite with rich food while they try
to satisfy their spiritual hunger with
husks fit only for swine.
What we need most of all is not sill
yer and gold, but faith and vision, a
purpose to live for, an ideal to die for,
a task worthy of our powers, which
will awaken our dormant faculties into
glorious activity.

grant elixir which can be used as a
quick, pleasant remedy for this situa-
ton. He apparently does not regard
the situation as hopeless and in his ad-
dress made some pertinent suggestions
for remedying the situation. These
would include the submission to Con-
gress by the President of budget with
an estimate of revenue, Congress max
ing no increase without providing tax
measures for the necessary revenue;
any expenditure of a government de-
partment, increased during the year by
an emergency, to be met by the de-
crease in another department.; an I'M
expected deficit to be the first lien on
next years budget.
The warning issued by the Mary
land Senator is one which will bear
much mental cogitation. 1t comes not
from a sensationalist, or from a man
seeking to make partisan political cap
ital, but from a so-called cold fash
lone Democrat" The remedies sug-
gested are ones which might we'll be
incorporated in the policy Of this, or
any other national administration.

SENATOR TYDINGS'
SUGGESTIONS

The. old free state of Maryland is
generally regarded as one of the more
conservative commonwealth Of Amer
lea. And certainly it's senior United
States Senator, Willard E. Tydings,
would be regarded anything but an
alarmist. So when Senator Tydings,
who is always forceful and logical,
issues the warning that unless the
Roosevelt administration changes its
spending policies and quits borrowing
to meet deficits, panic will follow" his
words are entitled to serious consider
alton.
Senator Tydings issued his warning
recently in an address delivered in New
York City before the Southern Society
of that city. Speaking of budget bal
ancing he said:
at is necessary thing for our gov
eminent to undertake it speedily. Ma
tons, no more than individuals, can
spend themselves into prosperity or
out of debt, or away from difficulty
any more than a drunkard can drink
himself SOBER" Of the rapidly mount
ing public debt he is quoted as saying:
Apparently few persons in the
country are conscious that the govern
ment of the United States alone has an
average first mortgage of $1,000 on
every American farm and home in the
land"
Senator Tydings pointed out that
two-thirds Of the assets of the banks
insured by the Federal deposit corpo-
ration are in government bonds while
only about half of the assets of these
banks were in government bonds at
the end of the World War, and follow
ing that great period of enforced gov
eminent financing.
The Senator added that decline in
the value of these bonds would impair
the assets of the banks and that this
would be disastrous. Doubt, and panic,
he inferred, might creep into the public
mind if the point came where the
banks, having reached the saturation
point, would not care to invest more
money in these government securi-
ties. The rest, he inferred, might cas-
lily be printing press imitation.
Senator Tydings evidently realizes
that there is no sweet tasting and fra

TIME FOR PITILEss REALISM

When leading newspaper of a
large city announced, few weeks ago,
that four of its residents were to be
killed outright before New Years Day,
readers were logged out of their COM
placency to read further. They discov-
cred that the four citizens "marked for
death" were to meet their end in hor-
rible form-on the highway.
The news writer had been on the
cheat" that included the morgue. He
was sickened by what he had seen. He
had visited hospitals and had witnessed
the slow suffering of. the MANNED. He
had been to the homes of victims, had
heard piteous tales Of children left
without a father or mother, or COM
PEELED to look after themselves as we'll
as the injured member of the family.
The reporter wrote simply, but factu-
ally. He predicted from the statistics
of what had happened that four more
persons were to be killed in motor ac-
cidents-and he guessed with deadly
accuracy. i '''':'':
"Safety First" has been dinned into
the public ear so long that it has lost
much of the effectiveness it once had.
But stories of almost revolving realism
such as "And Sudden, DEATH" which
appeared originally in Readers Digest,
short circuit the route between COM
prehension, and action. Soaring people
to make them drive safely is justified
by mounting accident toll wherever
automobiles are known. In the United
States, for example, more persons lost
their lives on highways in the past 10
months than were killed in battle dur
ing the similar period when the coun-
try was engaged in the World War.
A suggestion to the civic, service
and women's clubs: Why not cold

tor, the undertaken and chief of police

ject in realistic word pictures drawn

A CHALLENGE TO DECENT
GOVERNMENT
Cumberland News)

The flight of the Lindberghs to Lon
don with their son, Jon, because of re-
peated threats of kidnapping and black
mailing, is something: which arouses
the deep indignation of all good Amer
lean citizens and at the same time is a
challenge for them to renew the bat
tie against corrupt municipal govern
ment in this country.
Therein lies the crux of this reign of
gangdom with it's. Matchmaking, thug
gerry, kidnapping, murder and other
criminal operations. 1t has too long
been a danger signal of weakening
of part of our political structure. 1t
obtains principally in the larger cities,
there being minimum, fortunately, OF
gangsterism in our smaller communi-
ties. It comes from corrupt politics.
Municipal authorities are in league
with the powerful gangsters, else the
latter would not be enabled to continue
their rapacious operations. Some signs
have lately. been given of renewed
vigorous effort to wipe out the gangs,
but they are, unfortunately, feeble
when compared with the situation gen.
orally.
Mayor LaGuardia in New York is
making strenuous effort, for instance,
to crush the infamous artichoke ring
there. This, howeverais not as serious
as the rackettering in milk and other
essential food products. And Mayor
LaGuardia will probably be rewarded
for his efforts with defeat at the
hands of the crookedlTSnmany politi-
clans. 49,, ~,
1t is deplorable, indeed, that one OF
the most popular and beloved young
couples of the nation ha5e been so har-
assed and annoyed and, threatened by
the criminal element of the country as
to flee their native land and find haven
elsewhere for the sake of safety.
Both the colonel and his sweet wife
have endeared themselves to all up
right Americans not only because Of
his epochal achievement in aviation
and the subsequent splendid service he
has given to the science of aeronautics,
but he and his plucky wife have also
won the admiration and love of every
body by their modesty and simplicity
and good will. The awful reward which
has come to them is, indeed, chal-
lenge to all decent Americans to set
their governmental house in order.

Vegetables With MarshmalIows

Vegetables With MarshmallOws
Every woman is interested in en-
larging the proportion of vegetables
in her meals, in order to decrease the
cost of food purchased and increase the
health of her family. The use of
marshmallows is one way to promote
the greater use of vegetables. Marsh
mallows are used in some vegetable
dishes for sweetening. In other dishes
they are used to bring out the delicate
flavor of the vegetable itself, or to
point up" the flavor, as the French
say, but not to alter it. The third use
of marshmallows in vegetable cookery
is for garnishing the dish to make it
appeal to the eye.
Marshmallow-Filled Sweet Potatoes
Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly
and prick several times with fork, in
order that they will not explode in the
oven during baking. Place on a shall
low pan and bake until tender at 375
degrees Fahrenheit "a moderate oven).
Remove from the oven, cut a hole in
the top as big as silver half-dollar,
and remove portion of the potato.
Put a marshmallow into the cavity,
and return the potatoes to the oven for
a few minutes, until serving time, to
allow the marshmallows to soften.
Mashed Squash or Sweet Potatoes
Sweetened With Marshmallows
Bake, steam or boil sweet potatoes
or squash, until completely tender,
then put through ricer or sieve, and
mash thoroughly. Baked potatoes split
open and scooped out Of the shell are
more mealy and interesting in texture
than potatoes peeled first and cooked
in steam or water. If boiled, avoid
having them taste soggy, moist or
water-soaked; drain off the water and
shake the kettle over low heat, to dry
the potatoes well, before MASKING
them. To sweeten the potatoes, add
melted marshmallows, and the sweet
ness will seem to be that of the potato
itself. Melt 1 packette of marshmal-
lows in 1 cup boiling water to clear
liquid, and use as much of this syrup
as desired, depending on personal
taste, and varying with the natural
sweetness of the variety of sweet pota-
toes OF squash being prepared. Add
salt, pepper, and butter to taste, beat
we'll and add small amount of milk if
desired. Serve hot.
Fresh CIR Canned Vegetables Which
May be Seasoned With MarshmallOws
Parsnips, turnips, cabbage, cauli-
flower, brussels sprouts, celery, toma-
toes, peas, corn, carrots, beets, baby
limas and string beans. Add them
whole or in syrup form to hot vege-
tables. Add also salt, pepper, and
butter to taste. When marshmallows
are used as garnishing for sweet pota-
toes and squash, place the dish under
flame for few minutes to brown
and partially melt.

but such as have give thee-in the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and

Entering the temple through the
gate called Beautiful, the apostles
were accosted by an ugly beggar, a
sorry sight, lame from birth, clothed in
rags, pitifully crying, "Backsheesh,
backsheesh!"
The beggar must have been disap-
