COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

perial ambitions which is wracking
Europe was going on long before this
democracy was founded" and adds:
"Should we permit ourselves to be
embroiled in it, it may be going on
long after this country ceases to exist
as democracy"
Mrs. Boeckel contends that Amer
lean involvement in Europe's quar-
rels would be futile and therefore
foolish. Incidentally, the Gallup poll
recently revealed American public
sentiment strongly against taking
part in any European war.
"The situation in Europe today,
Mrs. Boeckel says, approaches again
the situation of pre-war days when
the Austrian Hungarian Empire was
intact and the close ally of Germany
With what purpose then did the
American men die in the World War?
We succeeded in establishing the in
dependence of certain small nations
but we could not control the policies
of the European powers and force
them to carry out other parts OF the
American program which would have
made it possible to preserve the inde-
pendence of these little nations.
"Neither today, even by sacrificing
| our young men to win foreign VIC
tory, could we bring about conditions
in Europe that would mean any kline
of lasting peace. Only Europe car
put the European house in order
What is happening today has long
been prophesied by those who have
urged policy of adjustment among
the great European powers. Had
policy of adjustment among the grea
powers been followed, the small coun
tries, as statesmen in Czechoslovakls
themselves have said, would not have
needed to be sacrificed"

REPORT GAINS IN
HOME FINANCING

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Large
gains in home financing activities un-
der the F. H. A. plan since the first of
the year, especially in the Middle
West, are reported by Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald.
In the week ending March 4, appli-
cations for mortgage insurance on
small homes reached $26,263 ,496, a
new all-time high in F. H. A. records.
Applications for small home mort
gage insurance are being received at
a rate of nearly $5,00000O each busi-
ness day. Over 70 per cent represent
newly constructed homes.
Heretofore, applications for mort
gage insurance have proven an ex-
ceedingly accurate barometer of flu
ture building activity. These figures
would indicate, therefore, most ac-
tive spring building season, with
small home construction possibly at
tanning the largest volume in dec
ade, the F. H. A. says.
Particularly notable was the in.
creased activity in the Middle West
For the entire country small home
mortgage insurance applications il
February showed gain of 102 pei
cent over February of last year. Fol
the Middle West area, however, thu
gain was 217 per cent. Much of thi.
gain took place in industrial center.

SIDEWALKS ON HIGHWAYS

That is a good idea of the Massa-
chusetts authorities, to use part OF
the federal money that is coming to
the state in the construction of side
walks along the main highways. The
time will come when all highway con-
struction will include provisions foi
sidewalks. The sooner it arrives, the
quicker there will be reduction IL

GUILD ATTORNEY
GETS SETBACK
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago, III. (ILNS).-Ben Meyers,
Chicago attorney" for the American
Newspaper Guild, received another ju-
dicial setback when he appeared in
the court of United States District
Judge Michael L. Igoe.
The youthful Mr.. Meyers asked that
a state case filed by Edward G. Woods,
Hearst counsel, against the guild be
transferred from the court of Grover
c. Niemeyer, Chief Justice of Cook
County Superior Court, to the United
States District Court.
Judge Questions Meyers
1t was the contention of Mr.. Meyers
that Interpretation of the Wagner
Act was involved. Judge Igoe took
matters in hand.
"How long has this matter been
developing asked Judge Igoe.
"Since March, 1885," answered Mr..
Meyers.
Judge Igoe extracted the admission
from Mr.. Meyers that there probably
would have been strike no matter
what the judicial decision had been.
Case Back to State Court
Judge Igoe then bluntly dismissed
Mr.. Meyers and his case by referring
him back to the state court.
The guild is still Dragging that il
is receiving moral and financial sup
port from many affiliates of the A. F
of L. and Of the C. /. 0.
The Communist party and its Off
cial organ, the Midwest Daily Record
continue to support the guild Wig
orously by making wildly exaggerated
statements.

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Lot of evils right here at home de-
manding remedy. No need of looking
thousands of miles across the sea for
things that need correction.
Long continued unemployment, farm
poverty and distress, due to made
quate farm prices, city poverty and
distress, caused by low wages and
lack of employment, needless sickness,
wretched housing these are a few.
Automobile accidents are another.
They took $4,000 lives in 1888. They
injured more than a million persons
in the same year.
If one of the dictators invaded the
U. ST. and killed $4,000 men, women
and children, the nation would rise in
it's anger and might, rally every re-
source of strength and energy to
punish the invader and prevent other
killings and woundings.
Yet killing and manning by motor
vehicles brings no great outburst Of
national Indignation and action.
America seems to have become ac-
customed to auto slaughter and, as a
nation, takes it as a matter of course.
Safety work goes on ceaselessly, it
is true, but there is no great and over
whelming national effort to put stop
to deaths and injuries on the high
ways.
As long as motor vehicles are driven
by fallible human beings, they will
cause some deaths and injuries.
But the number of fatalities and
injuries can be greatly reduced.
Operation of accident prevention
bureaus, with trained personnel, is
one proved way to cut auto accidents
Eighteen cities having such bureaus
reduced auto fatalities by an average
of So per cent in 1888 from 1887, the

Chiefs reports.

Ickes Demands Rapid
Action On P. w. A.
Building Program

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - Ad-
ministrator Harold L. Ickes has di-
rected his seven regional directors to
make every effort to speed the Public
Works Administrator construction
program as an aid to business re-
covery.
Ickes told the directors, summoned
here for two-day conference, that
he especially wants rapid action in
placing orders with heavy construc-
ton industries. The directors came
from New York, Chicago, Atlanta,
Omaha, Fort Worth, San Francisco
and Portland, Ore.
They reported 5,573 non-federal
projects representing total construc-
tion costs of 81, 400, ,000,0 900 under way
from the 1888 P. w. A. program. In
addition, there are more than $780,
100000 of projects still under con-
struction from p w. A. programs
prior to 1888.

More than half the population of
the world is living in war, or in imml-
nent threat of war. Japan, China,
Spain, Italy are actually at war; most
of the rest of Europe and no small
sections Of Asia and Africa are ex-
pecting war.
Two contradictory signs as to which
way the dictator bandits will move
next have come. The annexation of
Czechoslovakia, the threats at Rou-
mania, the taking over of Memel, the
moving of German troops into the
eastern Carpathians - all indicated
that Hitler was keeping up his push
toward the east. 1t is the course
which he laid down in 'Mein Kampf," +"
which the jingoes of Germany long
before the World War were advocat-
ing. But
The Fascist Council of Italy has
taken this occasion to declare ltaly's
support of the annexation of Czecho-
slovakia, and to denounce the utter
ances and negotiations of other cap
itals as leading to war. Mussolini is
not doing this for nothing; and it is
not easy to believe that he is doing
it for deferred payment. He wants
Tunis, not to mention Corsica and a
strip of the French Mediterranean
coast; and he wants them now.
The French are so thoroughly eX.
asperated by these pretensions, which
were indorsed by the Italian parlia
ment some time ago, that they are
likely to make fiat refusal.

JOE LOUIS AND
JOHN HENRY
lBy William Pieksns for AMP

BY the way, John Henry did stand
up against Joe Louis few seconds
longer than did aaax scameling, at
least. John Henry Lewis is q fine
fellow, far more intelligent than Joe
Louis BarroW-buL t.asy were not
fighting with intelligence alone, and
wnat Joe lacked iii intelligence as
general quality, he more than made
up for in supreme intelligence about
using his fists and feet, and in the
extra 20 pounds OF beef which he
could SO amply employ against
Lewis, the challenger.
John Henry evidently had expect
ed to stay in longer, and acted with
surprise when he was knocked down,
and got up too quickly without wait
ing to let some of his daze pass off
by taking few counts. When
man goes down, he has right to
nine counts, at least, if he wants to
use them
Well, Joe Louis is simply the
greatest fist mauler Of modern times.
Dempsey at his best was not equal
to the present Joe. It would be at
least question about what Jack
Johnson might have done against
one like Joe Louis, 80 years ago,
for Jack Johnson was the greatest
| defensive boxer Of whom there is
any record. He was more of ter
ror to white supremacy than ever
Joe Louis has been-for the whites
are now tanned bit to the idea that
the Negro is, all things put together,
the best boxer in any ring.
Anyhow Joe and John made his
tory; Two Black Men Boxing For
The Boss Weight Championship or
The World, With All The White
Race Shut Out That is something
for both Of them, and for the rest
of Us, to remember.
1t looks as If there is nobody Of
any skin-hue in sight to entertain
Joe Louis right now The only way
we could get good heavyweight
championship battle now would be
by rigging up some scheme so that
Joe Louis could fight himself Louis
against Louis. Then there would be
q gate, and battle, and doubt, and
even money. If Louis could just
fight Joe Louis, what night that
would be!

WITT, the holidays a thing OF. the
past. most of us are left with gem
eral rundown feeling. Too many
good times, too little sleep, and per-
haps bad cold thrown in, will do
considerable damage to the best Of
us.
sleep Important TO Beauty
The skin reacts most unfavorably
to lack Of sleep, becoming rough
and dry, with a tendency to wrinkle
more easily. Sleep Is, OF course. the
first prescription for reconditioning
the skin but 1t is always well to give
nmture a hand. BY all means get
to bed at least an hour ahead Of
your scheduled bedtime for week
or more to make up for the many
hours rest you have missed during
the holiday season. But, while you
are preparing for bed, give d little
extra attention to beauty.
Proper Cleansing and Lubrication
Necessary

holiday rush you have neglected the
proper cleansing Of your skin, CIV
Ing 1t Just hasty going over {if
any before falling asleep after a
gay evening. Make Il resolution to
repair the damage this carelessness
may have caused. Give few extra
minutes to cleansing your skin for

flying or the cold cream type, which
Is best suited to your skin. Smooth
The cream gently over your entire

TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH,
DAYTON, OHIO MOVES FORWARD
UNDER ITS NEW PASTOR,
DIR. J. WELBY BROADDUS

This, once small church, is now
becoming large in membership,
visions and Kingdom Service. The
church discovered its innate power
under the pastorate OF DR.. Ernest
C. Estell, Of Kentucky. When ne
resigned to accept a paste~ate n
Dallas, Texas, the church slled
another one of Kentucky's sons, in
the person Of Rev. S. 4. Hoard
whose possible successful pastorate
was cut short by prolonged illness
and lamented death. The church
then drew on Kentucky again by
calling DR.. J. Welby Broaddus from
the pastorate Of the First Baptist
Church, Frankfort, KY.
Rev. Rroaddus succeeded his
father, DR. T. II. Broaddus, as pastor
of the First Baptist Church, Rich
mond, KY. The father served as
pastor FOR 80 years, and the son TO,
during which time he built one Of
the handsomest churches in the
state carrying out his fathers great
ambition.
He is the product Of the Richmond
High Schools, Simmons University,
Louisville, KY, and Virginia Union
University and when called to Day
ton, was Vice Moderator Of the Ken
lucky Baptist General Association.
Because Of his rare scholarship, and
unusual achievements in the field Of
religion, Simmons University, in
1897 conferred upon him the de-
gree Of Doctor of Divinity
Rev. Broaddus assumed the pas
torate Of Tabernacle Baptist Church
Dayton, August 26, 1898. He is
blessed in his ministry IN having 4

thetic with his labors aud problems.

family resides in the parsonage, 1927
Home Avenue.
Tabernacle Church, the local pas
tors, and the Ministerial brother
hood, generally were not slow to
recognize Rev. Broaddus' training
and willingness to become fellow
worker in Kingdom Building. He
was chosen to lead the Negro Bap-
tist in the Community Chest Drive,
and led them to more than 1000
victory, based on their quota.
During the six months he has
been pastor Of the church, more
than $4,000 have been raised and
the church completely renovated.
He conducted his own evangelistic
meeting, which resulted in So for
baptism besides other additions.
The membership has been increased
more than 257.
As an expression Of appreciation
for the pastors work, including the
evangelistic services, the church has
given him two weeks vacation, dur
ing which time he has accepted in
yitations to preach the Installation
Sermon Of Rev. r. A. Bennett, First
Baptist Church, Richmond, KY. and
the Dedicatory Sermon for the First
Baptist Church, Frankfort, Ky.

crate Birthday Banquet at which
time he was the recipient of many
