LAVE you ever felt drowsy when
1 l you were driving? Have you
suddenly realized that for some sec
onds you had been driving while
you were virtually asleep? Have
you had accidents-and lived to
tell the tale-because a sickness
or sudden headache had impaired
your judgment or sense OF dis
lance?
You probably passed this of as
a case of sleepiness. but you were
flirting with death-a death that
strikes with lightning speed through
a gas that is odorless, colorless,
tasteless-carbon monexide!
Yes, the same carbon monoxide
that brings death when motorists
warm up motors within closed gar
ages can strike while you r driv-

Moving IN Elephant"

ssYha cannot move IA AAt and

age ~Whe cannot move ar azt and
yet tries to nov an elephant will
find his folly" AS ridiculous as
this may seem there are people
who are as foolish as one who
would be guilty of this ant and
elephant.
1t is not surprising that children
should foolishly try to lift a mans
load, because they have not been
taught by experience. But there
are grown-ups who disdain to do
the small things yet contend for
a "chance" to do the things which
are impossible for them. This is
in line with that saying of Charles
Wagner's, "Men will not be damn
ed for failure to do the remote du-
ties but for failure to do those
which are near to them" And the
lesson is that it is wise, and best,
to undertake the task which we
have strength to perform; in this
way obviate failure, and discour-
agement.

THOUGHTS ON FUN

1t was James Bryce, author of
"The American Commonwealth
who wrote "all the world knows
that they are a humorous people"
He was referring to the white Am
orleans, for among the opening
words in his chapter on National
characteristics as Moulding Public
Opinion" he says: "When | speak
of the nation, I mean native Am
orleans. What follows is not ap-
plicable ito the recent immigrants
from Europe, and..-...even less APP
plicable to-. Negroes"
We recalled this when we read
of the activities of the Black Le-
gion, that offshoot of the Knights
of the Ku Klux Khan, (it would
seem that a khan by any other Ne
gro-any Negro-we were going
to shoot him for fun" With the
dictionary's definition of fun as
being "merriment; playful action
or speech" still in mind, we recall
ed the first court scene involving
the Scottsboro boys. Here too the
native Americans had fun While
the nine innocent victims of pre-
judice battled for their very lives
in an atmosphere heavy with an
tagonism, the hilarity of a southern
circus progressed on the sidelines.
Yes, we must admit these native
Americans appreciate fun. But
hero they had nine Negro enter
tainers to furnish merriment. 1t
was when twenty thousand per-
sons found amusement in watching
the death agonies Of one lone Ne
gro as he swung by his neck that
the acme in demonstrating their
capacity for fun was reached. Mr..
Bryce goes on to say Nowhere is
cruelty more abhored. Even a mob
lynching a horse thief in the west
has consideration for the criminal
and will give him a good drink of
whiskey before he is strung up
However a Negro criminal pass
ing into the unknown not only is
shown no consideration but is look
ed upon as entertainments for the

The Pleasant Hard Task
By Arthur B. RhinOw
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

The other day l picked up a tiny
feather which had entered the room
through the window, and in its
airy meanderings had touched the
carpet where it was held fast. Hav-
ing disposed of it, I took ND an
iron weight, and found. us ! hid
it in my hand, that it gave my
muscles more pleasant feeling than
the feather, evidently because it
drew on the strength of the arm. It
gave the muscles something to do
The easy tasks of ife do not give
the most satisfaction; rather they
that employ our powers to the full.
Drifting may be agreeable for a
while and some may be chronic
ally disposed ito it, but all that is
healthy in US challenges life to give
us work commensurate with our
ability.
A man who can lift hundreds of
pounds will never be satisfied with
picking up scraps of paper. A
strong mind wants hard problems,
wants to do what it can do. And a
mans spirit is unspeakably unhap-
Ply when it is imprisoned in sin or
mere conventions. 1t reaches out to
lay hold on eternal life. We are no
stronger than our faith, and faith
longs for every new realms to con-
quer. Why, then do men stunt
themselves? Who do they try to
chain the eagle in their souls?

entire family. Plays r censured,
movies are suppressed, but the
hanging of a black man is unres-
tricted for fun young and old. Mo
theirs hold their young children
high above the heads of the crowd
in order that a correct impression
of "fun" may be made upon the
plastic minds of the little ones.
Then the fun is prolonged by OBJ
tanning souvenirs of the remains.
It is not enough that the dying
eontortions of the poor wretch en-
tertained the crowd, he must fur
nish additional amusement by being
dismembered-a curtain call, as it
were, after the last act. The enter
tainment de luxe however for an
exclusive group is to secure a Ne
gro, any Negro. shoot him and see
how far he can run.
A people concerned about the
Jews in Germany, the Catholics in
Mexico make the hanging of q
black man a signal for a Roman
holiday. A people who send mission
aries to the four corners of thhe
world; food and supplies to the
earthquake victims in Japan and to
the flood victims of China, a people
supposedly civilized, enlightened
and intelligent find their quintes-
sence of pleasure in the death
struggles of a black man.

These mechanical defects allow
the gas to seep into the automobile
compartment, where the driver is
quickly affected. The high percent
age of such danger is shown by a
Connecticut survey made last year,
when several thousand cars yer
stopped on the road and tested.
Measurable quantities of carbon

Wild life has been eremated as forest fires roar across miles Of
territory.
Fire is a ealamity-and it Is likewise a crime. And the fact
that most persons who start fires do not realize their guilt does
not mitigate the results of their offense. No American is 50 far
beyond the "school age that he shouldn't take lessons in fire
prevention.

CHRISTIANITY
COMING INTO IT'S OWN?'
By r. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

Perhaps today there r publish
ed more books ON the social aspect
of Christianity than ever before.
There are many books and maya
zine articles on "Social Phases"
"Social Trends" "Social Attitud-
es:" and all of these are dealing
with the religion of Jesus and its
effect on the minds and lives of
men. More than ever we read of
'The Social Gospel" "The Social
ism of Jesus" and the like.
Chief among thTse works are
those of E. Stanley Jones, the man
who preferred work as a mission
airy in India to the work and honor
of being a bishop in the Method
list Episcopal church. These include
"Christ of the Indian Road"
"Christ of Every Road" and others
of equal force.
This author contends that
though mistaken methods, COM
munism has the same objective
as Christianity-the equality of all
men, in the great Divine Scheme
for the government of men.
In an article entitled "Religion
and Recovery" Goddard Leach
makes the sweeping statement:
Love thy neighbor as myself en-
braces all laws; solves all person
al problems. It eliminates automa-
tically selfishness, condemnation,
anger, and doubt. Tt is a complete,
joyful way of life for social man"
Writing in the Forum, on what
| Religion Means to Me-" Mary
Pickford makes the confession: 81
have the growing conviction that
behind those simple sounding di-
rections Love God and Love thy
neighbor' are tremendous laws of
far-reaching effect, that will work
harmoniousy with us, as we are
humble and wise enough to relate
ourselves to them"
Finding failure and emptiness in
things material and the strong and
ever increasing emphasis being
placed on the religion of Jesus as
the one and only panaeea for hui
man ills, one is encouraged to hope
and to believe that these thing:
indicate that Christianity is COM
ing into its own. God grant it may
be so!

HIGH PRESSURE
ON WORKERS
PROTESTED

IncenSed over what they term
blackjack methods" Of the
Arkansas Headquarters Of the
National Democratic Committee
to force contributions to the
campaign fund, Government
workers today disclosed that for
the, past few weeks they have
been deluged with letters followed
by threatening telephone calls
II they did not back the Ad-
miniStration"
The letters, are stamped CAR
kansas Headquarters, Room 1853,
Raleigh HOTEL they suggest con-
tributions "aS Q loyal and repre-
tentative Arkansan" and call the.
employees attention to your re-
lation to the situation so you
may act Immediately.
They inform the recipient that
contributions will get you on
the rolls Of those whose faith
has been supplemented by their
works, adding significantly;
"and they will not be forgotten.
Enclosed in each letter Is
suggested scale of contribution
It ranges from $40 for those
getting $1,000 to $1,000 a year to
SITS from those getting $4,000 a
year and 3 per cent for salaries
Of $4,000 or above.
The telephone calls are more
to the point.
A certain Government worker,
who for obvious reasons wishes his
name withheld, was called on the
telephone by a woman. She said:
1--WE have sent you six letters
and have heard nothing from
you! Now what are you going
to do about it,"
Told the Government man was
not o political employe. that he
had been in the service for more
than IS years and that he wasn't
going to do anything about it, he
was sharply informed:
"Then you are against the
Administration"
This he denied. He was told:
"Well, you'd better come down
here and talk this matter overt"
The woman called several times.
the ArkanSap said, adding that
she called him twice in one week.
He described her tone as threat
ening, nasty and offensive"
Thomas M. Tatum, in charge Of
contributions, admitted they had
sent out letters and that Arkansans
had been called on the telephone
at home but denied any knowledge
Of threats.
Mr.. Tatum expressed surprise
when informed Of the conversation
between one Of his telephone oper-
ators and a Government employe.
Letters, Mr.. Tatum said, were
sent out by Clifton Scott, State
Finance Director of Arkansas to
Arkansans in Washington four
weeks ago. This was followed by
q "follow-up" letter, Mr.. Tatum
said. He explained that he had
been accepting cash contributions
and checks in the name Of the
