and, ever since / have known him,
now many years-he has been
more or less deaf.
He might so easily have taken
his misfortunes to heart, grown de-
jected and discouraged. He would
be justified in leaning upon the
government for relief and many
people would gladly give him
sympathy and perhaps an occasion
al dime if he stood on the street
corner asking for aims.
But he does none of this. In
stead he blacks boots. A lowly
calling, full of many dissatisfac-
lions for an intelligent person, but
infinitely to be preferred to the
charity that burns even though it
benefits.
And this young man is intelli-
gent. He courageously earns his
living the hard way. All summer
long he labors and lays in store
the substance for his winters need.
The only thing he asks is op-
portunity. 1 feel like giving him
a pat on the back every time l
pass him, for I contrast him 50
favorably with the many two good
legged men 1 know who, apparent
ly, couldn't survive without the
governments dole.

But none of this is the signiA-
cant thing to which I called atten-
ton in the beginning of this
article. Perhaps you will not find
anything significant in what fol-
lows. We sat and talked of one
thing and another until the mem
bers were all assembled. They de-
cided that I should talk to them
first, then they would take up the
business of the evening-so the
president said, "Let US stand and
repeat the Lords Prayer" and
they did. Each of these young
people, not only knew this prayer,
but recited it clearly, reverently
and with no embarrassment in the
presence of an outsider. "
I thought it rather remarkable
that while so many of us are de-
plOring the instability of youth,
it's fastness, its lOOseness, its lack
of moral sense, it's wOrldliness, its
willingness to dance and drink and
amuse itself in ways that shame
our sense of decency, youth itself
is finding its way upward through
its own pathway. 1t seems to see
some things of Importance in a
clearer manner than we; to grasp
essentials more quickly; to give
practical assent more generously,
and, wonder of wonders, to sanely
recognize the existence of and the
power of the God of the universe;
to go to Him for direction and help
in solving its own peculiar prob
lens and to do it naturally and
without fuss or buster. / had just
witnessed one of our ministers al
most tear his pulpit to pieces in
the fervency of his message. I re-
call this quiet prayer by these
young wOmen-and I wonder?
At the door of our office a
young man works shining shoes,
He is crippled and hard of hear
ing. He lost leg in early youth

Last week we read so much
about the evils encountered in the
use of the deadly drug Marihuana
that we checked up and found it
running neck and neck in the race
for body wrecking with alcohol
ism. We have so much interesting
information regarding the latter
evil that we don't know whether
to tell you about our sick or just
about our ale-ing.
Perhaps no problem confronting
the social worker is more perplex-
ing than the housing, feeding and
clothing of the man who drinks to
excess. Samuel o. Harris, investi-
gator for the department of relief,
made an attempt to give special
lied care for the chronic inebriate
on relief. Plans were made for
isolated treatment with appropri-
ate recreation program and PSYCHE
atric and medical supervision fol-
lowed by a definite rehabilitation
of these men based on test reports.
Court cases where repeated
drunkenness was charged were Sc
lected for specialized care. When
offenders expressed their willing
ness to be treated they were
paroled to Mr.. Harris with a nine
ty day suspended sentence. Medi-
cal and religious science had very
little to offer as definite cure for
the habitual drinker.
Mr.. Harris obtained psychology
cal tests of all the men. He ar
ranged for examinations and medi-
cal necessities at General Hospital
and a few private physicians con-
tributed their services. The men
who showed some promise of be-
ing helped were taken to the Min
nesota State Hospital at 9Th and
Franklin. While the prognosis OF
this treatment was not entirely
what could be wished, the fact that
some progress has been made in
the experiment is very cheering. A
less persistent person than Mr.
Harris would have given up the
fight soon after it began because
of the many obstacles barring the
way to success, but the experiment
has ended primarily for the lack Of
funds with which to carry on. Mr..
Harris is yet making an exhaustive

DEVILS Tower, Old Monument

Devils Tower, in Wyoming, the
Oldest national monument under the
national park service. of the De-
partment of the Interior, is, it is as
serted, 100000 years old. 1t is a
unique and colossal geologic forma-
ton which stands stunplike in the
Black Hills. The striated stone,
measuring 1000 feet in diameter
at its base, occupies one and a half
acres of territory, and stands 865
feet above ground. Biologists hold
that about 100000 years ago,
when the Black Hills were form
ing, molten rock started to force
its way through weak points in the
limestone and sandstone in the area.
These formed surface flows, sills
and lava "blisters."

A FINE START

By the end of this month the State Farmerabor Party
will have made five appointments of colored citizens state
positions since the election last year.
In doing this the FamerLabor Party has demonstrated
concusvey that it, at least it's leadership cognzan and
apprecae of the great support given it's ticket in the last
election.
If the Party extends it's activities nationally will have
built large Negro following in this state which knowing
the Parys philosophy will be able to sell the coored voters
of the other sections
Our chief criticism of the late Floyd Olson that
with all his great vision he did not that the Farmer
Labor treatment of its Negro supporters in Minnesota would
be accepted criterion and would affect the reception of
nationwide movement of the Party by the coored citizen
Let not be assumed that this paper thinks coored
people have received all they deserve yet but the Farmer
Laborites have made very fine start
We not going to be satisfied until get of those
large sized pms All of the other minority groups found
in the higher state official brackets We want of
those positions also because know have and
capable of holding them.

HERE and
THERE
- ". II. Smith

Calling upon group of young
club women last week in the inter-
est of our coming cooking school l
faced a situation that surprised me
and one that l thought full of
significance.
These young women are of the
so-called modern school and run
ming true to form should have the
characteristics of the youth of the
day.
They should have been loud in
dress and demeanor, sophisticated
in thought and speech and utterly
Indifferent to the things we call
spiritual. That would be the pat
tern by which we older folks meas
ure our younger companions. And
in this case 1 was greatly sur
prised to find that the pattern was
all out of gear; that the young
women were neither loud in dress
or speech; by no means Extensively
sophisticated and in evident pos
session of a very clear and cou-
rageous spirituality.
They listened with fattering at.
tentiOn to what l had to say, asked
questions indicating their under.
standing of the matters brought tC
their attention and manifested a
very real desire to assist in every
way that which promised progress
for their people. Incidentally these
club women are going to do just
what we hope all of our women
will be interested in doing; help
make this experiment of ours a
glowing success.

study of the situation and we hope
that at some future date he may
be able to return to this work of
reconstructing the bodies that men
have so nearly destroyed in their
blindness through loyalty to the
Demon DRINK. It just happened
that during the experiment not
once did Mr.. Harris encounter one
of our group among these un-
fortunates.
Now to get back to our sick.
We talked with Robert Patter-
son, our newest patient at Glen
Lake. Mr.. Patterson is quite i'll,
although we found him resting
comfortably. Mrs. Eva Stovall
and Orville Thompson have re-
turned to their respective homes.
Lois Stovell has been transferred
from the children's building to the
main one. She had just fmsned a
lesson in modern history with her
instructor when we walked into
her room. From the pleased ex-
to send the nursery children when
we visit again. Her bank account
of ten cents had been reduced to
one cent, so we took seven pennies,
all we had, from eur pScketbook
and gave them to her. After she
counted them she looked UP and
said, "Now, give me some nickels."
Mrs. Ruby Taylor won third
premium and received a ribbon
from the state fair for her Place
Mat set. All the women take adj
preston on each of the history
students faces we gathered that
modern history is an enjoyable
subject, in theory, at least.
The long row of tissue wrapped
packages on the window sill in
trigued us. They were surprise
gifts from the children Lois had
palled with while in the other
building. There was a package to
be opened each day. We find so
many little touching gestures of
friendship among those who have
sickness rs something in common.
Our little girl was delighted with
the drawings we took to her from
the nursery tots at Phyllis Wheat
ley House. She promised to have
some drawings of her own ready
vantage of the Handicraft classes
out there. We wish we could
sponsor a sale for some of these
beautiful, useful gifts. A club or
church group could handle this
nicely. It would help to buy some
of the expensive material used to
make these articles. The leather
we gave one of the men some
weeks ago has all been made up
into key cases and small pocket
books. We would like to have more
leather. Have you any leather,
any pennies, any toys today?

LOW COST ENTERTAINMENT

The average reader spends at
least two hours with each copy of
the Spokesman or the Recorder.
That means that it costs him only
one or two cents an hour for the
weekly newspaper which brings
him not only the news but enter
tainment and comments. It's
low cost type of entertainment that
can't be beat.
