Christian faith Is prescribed II not inter-
dicted, that 1t Is showing new signs Of life
and militancy. It has been said, and
with pertinence, that there Is a deeper
feeling of religion in the world today,
even If 1t Is inarticulate, than we have
known for 4 century or more. We be-
lieve this to be true, but in the face of
the teachings Of Jesus Christ an inarticu-
Of 1t makes little headway against the
forces Of evil
AS fine an example Of the persistence OF
the Christian faith that one might find is
related in st. Pauls letter to the young
Church in Phillippi The apostle was
awaiting execution. He was the prisoner
of the brutal Nero, one of the most profili-
gate Of Roman emperors, yet in his letter
to Phillippi he says with confident assur-
ance: MY bonds in Christ are manifest
in all the palace, and in all places; and
many of the brethren In the Lord, waxing
confident by my bonds, are much more
bold to speak the word without fear" So
assured is he of the spread Of the Chris
tian faith, even in an atmosphere wholly
repellant, that he concludes his letter by
affirming: "The saints that are Of Caesars
household salute you."
It seems incredible that in such an
atmosphere the young faith should grow
and propagate itself. In another period
brilliant satirist, Voltaire, attacked with
barbs Of satire the Christian Church of
France, but he did little to stay its course
The triumphant cry Of the early Church
was: "This is the victory that overcom-
eth the world. even our faith" It may
be that the situation the Church faces
today is propitious one; that we are en-
tering upon new fullness OF time; q
fullness of time that is to test Christian
disciplehood and to call forth from the
Church as an institution a stronger and
finer expression Of its loyalty to Him who
even on q Cross, declared Himself vic
tortous. We may not forget that the
Church began and won its first triumphs
through suffering, and that out Of suf-
fering 1t attained its highest distinction

employers had been an important factor
in bringing capitalism" into disrepute,
Judge Cotillo asked whether the country
is not now witnessing duplication of
such excesses" on the part Of labor.
Unfair practices in labor warfare"
he warned, will poison the spring of
public friendliness as inevitably as was
the goodwill of the public estrarged
through earlier capitalistic ignorance"
That is warning which the friends of
labor might well consider, for there is
strong evidence that substantial body
Of public opinion already has been
alienated by the extremes to which labor
has gone in the past year or two.

Double Trouble.

When it comes to fuel, gas and elec-
tricity, the District schools are having
double trouble. And the dual difficulty
amounts to more than $4,000.
When the last appropriation bill was
reported out to the House by the sub
committee handling the District budget,
the accompanying statement declared:
1T was also developed in the hearings
that in some instances the custodial
personnel in the school buildings is in
efficient and that waste of fuel re-
suited. The committee has reduced the
appropriation for fuel, etc. So, 900, and
has included provision that the ap-
preparation shall be so apportioned as to
prevent deficiency therein"
At that time, The Star pointed out
that this was a queer way Of Furnishing
custodial inef1iciency II It existed; that

Lost Appeal.
Alas, how oft appearances deceive!
The fairest flower may hide a bitter
taste;
The gayest-plumaged bird will often leave
The echoes bowling oer the dismal
waste.
The tallest tree may be at heart infirm;
The rosiest apple is not always sweet.
The clearest water holds the dreaded
germ;
The gaudiest mushroom isn't fit to eat
And so the girl who might inspire a
sonnet.
Whose smiles the coldest heart might
overcome,
Is heard to say Il seen it" or they done

And has a fondness great for chewing

ness can be brighter than at any time
since the early 1920s This outlook
would brighten even further If business
and Government now could call of a
fight that has been costly to both sides.
On its part, American industry now
has plenty of evidence that, despite New
Deal reforms and contrary to popular
belief, the New Deal itself has been ac-
companied by vastly expanded indus
trial profits.
Proof of this fact is found in the re-
port on corporation profits for the year
1895, just published by the Treasury.
In that New Deal year, American cor
porations had net income of s., ,5O0,-
100000. The only other times in their
history that they made as much money
were in 1928 and 1929. In 1929 corpora
tions earned nearly $11 500 900, 900. But
when the New Deal took over they were
earning $4,000, 100000 year.
But, 1t is argued, the Federal Govern
ment took away the bulk of those earn
ings in taxes. Actually, the net earn
ings are after all taxes except Federal
income taxes. The Federal corporation
income tax took less than $3.50 900 900
of the $1,000 900, 900 available for tax,
leaving $8, $50 900 900 for stockholders.
Corporation profits in 1897 were larger
than in 1896. This year, owing to de-
preston, they will be sharply lower, al
though they will be rising in the last
months Of the year.
The meaning of all of this is that the
profit system has not been destroyed by
the New Deal, but rather has hourished.
The billions Of 1885 profits were made
when the national income was only
$63 ,O00, 900, 900, as contrasted with $780,
O00,000000 IN 1870.

PEBS' LEAD IS
NICKED AGAIN.

Division Race Grows

By UNITED PRESS

Chattanooga defeated Little
Rock, Al, Tuesday night and
nicked another Sam,A off the TRAY
elers' lead in the Southern AsSo-
citation pennant race.
There were two other night
games-Nashville defeated New
Orleans, 4-3, and Atlanta also
trimmed Memphis by a one-run
margin, TO. The Knoxville
Smokes bettered Birmingham, ga
in the single afternoon fray.
Chattanooga's victory over Lit
tie Rock and Atlanta's defeat of
Memphis resulted in the four first
division teams scrabing closer in
the standings.
Knoxville won with athree-run
rally inthe ninth inning.
Nashville made a run and tied
the score 3-3 in the eighth inning
and then won with a tally in the
ninth against the Pelicans.
Lanahan silenced the heavy
guns of Little Rocks batting or
der. The Pebbles made only six
hits. The Lookouts made eight
hits and two Little Rock errors
good for four runs.
Atlanta scored three in the first
inning and two each in the sec
ond and third-sufficient to bet
ter the Chicks by a run.

Hollywood Coin
Is Flown East To
Be Bet On Ross
Betting May Be At Even
Money Before Thursday
Nights Battle

NEW YORK, May %. (UP)-
Heavy sugar" from Hollywood is
expected to shorten considerably
odds on the Ross-ArmStrong well
terweight title fight before ring
time Thursday night.
More than $4,000, ear-mark-
ed for Armstrong support, was
understood to be en- route from
Hollywood to New York last
night. This money was being
brought by two plane loads of
screenland celebrities headed by
Al JolSon, the mammy-Singer.
JolSon, who formerly owned a
piece of Armstrong; contract,
yesterday telephoned the negro
challenger's manager, Eddie Mead,
at PomptOn Lakes, that the two
planes would leave Los Angeles
airport sometime last night and
that the Armstrong war chest
would total more than fifty grand.
When this large sum is tossed
into the betting martS today or
Thursday, odds favoring cham
pion Ross are expected to shorten
from the present S-5 to 6-5 OF
possibly even money. Moreover,
news of this $4,000 commitment
was expected to bring out today
a flood of money from Harlem
negroes who have been waiting
for the longest possible odds be-
fore backing Armstrong.
Meanwhile, promoter Mike ia
cobs reported a brisk ticket sale
despite overcast skies. He reiter-
ated confidence the Madison
Square Garden Bowl brawl would
gross well over 100000.
Barney Ross, who came to New
York Monday night from his
camp at Grossinger Lake, took a
light workout at Stillman's gym
nasium, which was jammed to
overlooking. He registered l41
1-2 pounds before the workout
about what ne expects to scale
for the weighing-in Thursday
noon.
Henry Armstrong, feather =
weight king, went through a Sc
cret workout at Pompton Lakes,
n. J. He is understood to weigh
about 1877 pounds, one more than
he expects to scale Thursday.
Armstrong will remain at his
camp until Thursday forenoon.
He will then motor to New York
for the weighing-in.
