Biblical Wisdom.

IN THE Book of Nahum, Chapter
II, I came upon this verse:
"The chariots shall rage in the
streets, they shall jostle one against
another in the broad ways; they
shall seem like torches, they shall
run like the lightnings."
Those Old Testament prophets
certainly peered a long way into the
future. Because travelled by night
through main thoroughfare leading
from Los Angeles to the sea and
vice versa, and l knew what Nahum
was describing.
But not even an inspired seer of
the Bible could imagine record of
traffic mortality so CHASTITY as the
one we've already compiled in this
year of grace 1887 A. D. (automo-
bile destruction)-or a people so
speed-mad.

Uncle Lum Whittemore, back in
west Kentucky, who loved to dis

practiced instep on a brass rail and
with his free hand fought the resi-
dent flies for the tidbit of free lunch
which he held in his grip.
One day a fellow asked Uncle
Lum, who had served CALAMITY in
the Southern Confederacy until a
very hard rainstorm came up, what
he'd do if the yellow peril boys in
vaded America.
"I'd hunt me a hollow tree in the

SENIOR HISTORY NEWS
Under the capable direction of Prof.
Beauchamp the class is progressing
in an exhaustive study of the strike
which is taking place in the plants of
the General Motors Corporation, Flint,
Michigan. In this strike, one of the
nations greatest, over a hundred
thousand workers have been deprived
of their jobs.
The main issue, however, seems to
be the occupation of several plants
by sit-down strikers who stay in the
plants despite efforts of the corpora
ton to get them out with court-or-
ders, National Guardsmen, etc.
The Strikers are not striking for
more money and shorter hours, as is
the usual purpose; they are striking
for union. The workers want to
be stockholders. In other words,
they want part ownership and interest
in the plant.
To climax this study, debate was
held Wednesday on this question: Re-
solved, The strikers should be put
out by force if necessary.

A reading stand has been made by
