Swing one arm straight out in
front of the body and the other
straight out behind, swinging both
arms simultaneously. Reverse the
position of the arms, swinging free

body lift. Stop when you get
tired.
Now, shrug your shoulders up

arms! Clasp your hands behind
your back and try to touch the
elbows together. Bet nickel you
can't!

THE VOICE OF
Broadway
By Louis SObOl-
This Man Is Dead!

You're on the home stretch now
Of that last mile.
You hunch forward on the side
of your iron cot, your head in
your hands, and try desperately to
figure it all out.
You feel like you're moving in
a strange dream. How could you
be herein the death house-Wait-
ing for them to turn the juice on
you? Maybe it isn't you. Maybe
you are dreaming. Maybe you will
wake soon and hear the happy
jingle Of the alarm clock beside
your bed and Nom will have break
fast ready and it will be time to
go to work and you'll feel kinda
scared a day-remembering the
dream you had.
Oh. no, it couldn't be you-Wait-
ing to die in the chair. You read
about things like that-but they
don't happen to you-not you!
The Washington times., 1937-02-19

But you'll be lying in a quicE
grave somewhere, with blue marks
on your head and leg, and thai
will be the end of it. The news
papers will run one more story
about it and everybody will read
it with their breakfast.
1t will say: "The doomed
man had So-and-sO for his last
meal. He walked quietly to the
chair, like a man already dead,
and had no farewell word for
the world he was about to
leave. The electrodes were ad-
juSted and the black hood
dropped over his face. His
body lunged forward against
the straps as the electricity
spat upon the air. At 1906
the doctor said, This man is
dead.'"
The Washington times., 1937-02-19
And vet II must be true!

And vet 1t must be true!
You can feel the iron cot under
you. You can see the bars on
the door You can hear the
guard coming in with food for
you. This is no dream. You're
waiting to die. Every time the
watch ticks you're one step
nearer eternity. Was it longer
than yesterday that you were
living a normal, happy life? And
now here you areas if you had
gotten here by mistake or some
strange mix-up of the cards.
In a few more hours-a few more
hours-they'll come in and shave
your head and leg and the priest
will see you again about saving
your soul. And you will walk be-
tween two grim men-to that door
that door they say is green-the
door that will get bigger and bigger
and finally seem to fill the uni
verse. And that will be all you
will remember.
After that you will be too scared
to think or feel, won't you?
The Washington times., 1937-02-19

Like an autOmatOn, you will
move to your reserved seat and
sit down. There will be the re-
pOrters and the witnesses. You
won't see them. You can't see
anything. Things will be going
round and round like you were
ON a big drunk. Everyone will
look ghaStly. Everyone will look
scared. you'd think they were
going to die instead of yOu.)
But they're not.
No, sir. They're going out into
the clean sweet air afterwards.
They'll stop at the first saloon
for . stiff drink and say:
Thank God. that's over"
Then they'll go on living-and
laughing-and loving.
