would not be here. The world
needs more good babies and less
sorry ones.
One must admit that there are
instances where children are born
under bad conditions, but there
are many born under good influ-
ences.
Most civilizations have failed
when people rebelled against mar
riage. Tt ended with freaks and
immoral reprobates. While this is
leap year., people should not
merely leap into married life. 1t
is dangerous to leap before you
have made some preparation for it.
In failing to do this, you may
leap out of it as fast but you will
find in the end, that you must de-
velop your own philosophy; you
must experience it for yourself.
You are apt to fail if you live be-
yond your means. If you are poor
that's no disgrace! Realize it and
live within your budget. Be sure
not to ride in a Packard Auto
when you are earning Ford, or
push cart or walking salary.

Yet, there are legions of people
who argue against married life
Behind most of it is the fact thai
they have been disappointed ir
love affairs or perhaps lost faidf
in the institution because so many
so-called married couples fail tc
dignity the blessed institution
Love, the greatest force in mar
ried life, has seemingly been push
ed into the background. Some peo-
pie marry for social position and
status; others unite in holy MAJ
rimony with their eyes in wealth
still others have to marry because
they are forced to do so.
Marriage must be real, honest,
and true if it is to succeed. Put
love-which is Gods first. Then a
well-balanced marriage life must
have some business and under
standing in it. There is joy and
thrill in it, but that won't pay bills
1t is suicide to marry with a passion
for thrill alone. 1t is more than
that. 1t is a great responsibility
One should marry with a purpose
in heart.
People who are married should not
be too selfish Many of our old mar
ried couples are quite secure in
earthly possessions. They could
make no greater use of their wealth
than to encourage marriage among
the hard-pressed youth.
Young people in many cases
want to marry but they need en-
couragement. The church must once
again glorify the marriage insti-
tuition. The preacher should preach
more about it. people should bt
encouraged not only to marry, bu
to produce children. With the
coming of children, marriage lif'
reaches its apex. The greatest love
comes into the family when {
child is born.
1t is far better to marry thar
for one to burn. Pay little or M
attention to the apostles of birtl
control. If birth control had beer

Says
What Kind OF Man Is
Arthur B. Spingarn?
BY WILLIAM PICKENS for AMP

by WILLIAM flChENS Tor ANP
We wonder if the membership OF
the NAACP really knows the third
president of the NAACP: he is the
brother of the second president,
Joel E. Spingarn, who died last
year, after a generation of service
with us. Both Joel and Arthur
were effective speakers, but Arthur
has always had a calm effectiveness
while Joel was impetuous, with the
impetuosity of minor prophet
who must speak"
All of us, including Joel when he
was president, had come to look
upon the judgment of Arthur as
something not only sincere but safe
and reliable. Because of this faith
in him on all sides, he could calm
dlssenSlon in any meeting as
quickly as any person might There
was always the feeling that his ex-
preston was not primarily parti.
san. He has been able to forestall
many a blunder, to prevent many
foolish steps.
Neither he nor his brother ever
came into the association with any
idea of filling any office, let alone
to be heads of the organization
Like Rosenwald and Felix Frank
furter and the great lawyer, Louis
Marshall, they wanted to help a
great cause and be parts of it. They
knew what racial mania was long
before this association was started
