TO The Northwest Enterprise,
Seattle. Washington.
I wish to call your attention to
a recent event which seems to have
escaped the notice of the press.
On Sunday evening, July 10, at
Mt. Zion Baptist Church, I had the
pleasure OF listening to a young
man who had only recently been
converted to the church, and who,
under the teaching of Rev. T. M.
Davis. delivered a sermon equal to
many veterans I have heard dur
ing the 38 years of my residence
in Seattle. This young man, Jud-
son swancy by name. has since
been licensed by the church to
preach the Gospel to the world.
The unusual features of this
event were that Mr.. swancy is the
first to be licensed by Mt. Zion
Baptist Church during the 4s years
of It's existence; and that the young
man up 20 the time of his CONVEX.
sion. had been identified with the
sporting world from coast OF coast
and was regarded as pant master
among them. This proves that the
will OF God works in mysterious
ways.
May God bless him in his work,
and may his teacher Rev. T. M.
Davis, and the members of Mt.
Zion be rewarded for work well
done.
Sincerely yours.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DrETz.

Three inscriptions by the ancient
EtruScans, preserved in New York
and Philadelphia museums. are
helping to clear up one of the puA-
zles of how the alphabet originated.
The three pieces of writing, now
among museum treasures of this
country, suggest strongly that the
Romans got the alphabet letters di-
rectly from the Greeks.
This has been one Of the weak
and uncertain links in the long
chain of evolution through which
scholars trace the modern alphabet.
From modern letters-in which this
newspaper is printed-the evolution
airy changes go back through Latin
alphabet, Greek forms, Phoenician,
even farther back toward still
somewhat mysterious origin, perhaps
near 1000 B. c. in the Near East.
For many years, language students
have argued over two rival theories
as to where the Latin alphabet was
borrowed. One faction said the Ro-
mans caught the idea from Greek
colonists in southern Italy. Another
faction thought that Rome's near
neighhors, the Etruscans, were the
people VITO gave Rome inspiration
for an -.phabet.

WHILE a person is suffering
w from acute infection, his diet
should always be light. It should
include preferably, fluids, such as
milk and thin cruel. It should be
rather low in proteins, also, to
avoid possible irritation to the
kidneys.
The greater the intensity of the
disease, the more liquid the diet
should be. 1t may include matted
milk, and lemonade, orangeade, or
oranges, to provide the alkaline
effect.
Later. toasted bread, crackers,
and various kinds of cereals may
be added, and still later, baked
potato, rice, corn starch, and many
other cereal and milk foods, as well
as a greater variety of fruit.
The diet in infection should al
ways be modified to fit the patient.
The main object is to avoid de-
priving hmi of any element that he
requires to promote his health and
to keep up his nutrition, and, at
the same time, to avoid gastric and
intestinal indigestion.
Doctors are often asked whether
the patient may have coffee. Pro-
vided the blood pressure is not too
high, the heart not too irritable,
and the patient not too nervous
and restless, coffee may be given
him morning and noon, or coffee

CAMPAIGN YEAR TAXATION

MO tax has ever been devised which comes from
any source other than the pockets of the people
But many and ingenious are the devices which at
tempt to camouflage this truth
Inere are taxes, such as income and inheritance
levies which come from the people in proportion to
Individual ability to pay. These are the fairest of
taxes but they also the most visible and there
fore the most painful and politically unpopular.
And this being campaign year, it is but natural
that the candidates for reelection who comprise the
House Ways and Means Committee should be giving
but scant attention to possibilities of raising addi
tional revenue by this type of taxation.
1t is reported that the only changes in income
and inheritance taxes receiving consideration are
proposals to dig little deeper into the upper brack
cts This would risk alienation of the political affec
tons OF only those comparatively few voters who re-
side In the silk stocking wards And since the yield
from such upper bracket increases would be very
small the committee, always viii have to contrve
some scheme to raise the bulk of revenue from the
rank and file.
Which explains why there is such a premium on

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT

"D EFORE T realized it we were up to 75.' How
Doften you overhear such remarks. And every
time it is uttered you know that something besides
the car engine was going rs. The drivers nerves
were also racing.
Which means extra wear on his circulation, blood
pressure and heart Enough of such extra wear and
he may expect his innards to give out earlier than
they should just his automobile engine might II
he continued to race it.
Even if the modern motorist escapes sudden
death or crippling accident he can not escape the
fact that fast going may cut short his llte Inc
mortal frame can not withstand the harbreadth
escapades the high-tension rigidity which must be
maintained by our Highway Hurricanes.
Traffic speed represents something more signih-
cant than getting somewhere. 1t means we are all
geared I'D to co. Even if we only run around in
circles most of us are going much too fast for good
sense or pleasant living.
If utilized ntelligently the energy waste rush
ing around to no purpose might revolutionize ex-
istence and enable cultivate the art of living,
which we seem to have lost somewhere between the
red and green light.
There are men, for instance good business men,
too, who dash madly around the country under the
impression that their hurry will cover up their lack
of thought. They remind you Of little WhlrlWlnds
YOU see in summer on country roads; faster and
faster they come until they finally disintegrate and
dissolve into nothingnesS.
There are women, too who seem literally to
leap from one occupation to another. They race
to the dentist, hurry to luncheon, dash off to
make a fourth at bridge. Then, worn and wilted.
they run home to dress for dinner to which they
are invariably late and for excuse they offer The
old plea of being too busy They aren't really busy
they only aimless bustlers little chips caught up
into the maelstrom of modern hurry which is sweep
ing us all without dignity into the sea of oblivion.
