Question-Can you tell Q eounmo4
man, In a few words, how to be savedY
Answer-Here II Is in three verses
Romans 10'9.10,13 That II thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus. and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised Him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved. For with
the heart man believeth unto right
eousness and with the mouth confess
sion Is made unto salvation. For who
soeVer shall call upon the name OF the
Lord shall be saved
Q.-Do you believe, as many do, that
the Roman Empire will be revived
within a year or two?
A.-The Bible says No and I believe
Gods Word After picturing the broke
en- fragments Of the mighty Roman
Empire as the modern nations OF
Europe the prophecy Of Daniel 2
verse II, says And in the days Of
these kings shall the God Of heaven
set up kingdom, which shall never
be destroyed and the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, hut it shall
break in pieces and consume all these
kingdoms and it shall stand for
ever" So you see, friend, the next
world empire is not to be old Rome
revived In fact, the Scriptures enns
phaucaNy declare that no place shall
be found for it (See verse 35) The
coming kingdom is the kingdom Of
Christ (See also Matthew 25:31)
Q,-Is it possible, by a study Of
Bible prophecy, to discover the exact
day Of our Lords return?

she asked.
He replied slowly, the way Chuck
did when anyone asked him that
question. Even though Chuck was
all tied up with Dot, and as happy
about it as you'd ever hope to be, his
voice got kind of dreamy when he
talked about his old girl. There's
one girl" Jerry said. II sure liked
her lot, but haven't seen her for
couple of years. 1t was just one of
those things. You know, kid stuff"
That was the perfect reply. he
realized with satisfaction, though
actually he had spoken without
thinking 1t was more sincere than
saying. mo, | never looked at a

left him free, free just in case - well.
just in case he got tumble.
Whats her name?"
Anne Lawrence" he told her,
but | always call her Annie Laurie"
That's what Chuck always said, but
this time he hoped his voice didn't
sound like Chuck's Jerry didn't
want her to think he was dreamy
about anyone else. because suddenly
he realized that he was beginning to
feel awfully dreamy about her.
"WHAT's your name?" he asked;
but before the question was quite
finished he saw Chuck coming
toward him through the crowd. He
was alone, and probably wanted to
drag Jerry back to the barracks ..
Wouldn't he come just now? Jerry
thought bitterly. Wouldn't he just?
Nothing ever gets chance to
happen,
Hi. feller," Chuck grinned, slap
ping him on the back, and Jerry
returned lukewarn, Hi" ."
Then Chuck caught sight of the
girl. His mouth fell open. (And no
wonder, Jerry thought with a Ger
tam pride. She's New York's best9
why, Annie Laurie" Chuck
finally managed to gasp. What are
you dong in New York;"
Hello. Chuck" she said sweetly.
"Yes, I'm here at last. And I've got

While Chuck stood there gaping.
Jerry muttered between his teeth,
How could you do this to me:'
Il loved hearing about my New
York sophistication," the girl said.
And then | loved hearing about
home. You see. get homeslck some
times too"
There was mockery in her voice.
and Jerry looked down at the floor,
feeling the complete fool. When he
got up the courage to look at her,
though. he saw the smiling look
around her eyes, and he knew that
everything was all right - that she
liked a joke as we'll as the next per-
son. She was sweH girl! The End

"I get real bang out OF it," he

whether you'd call that being an
actress or having a Career" she
smiled. II just call it having job,
and being darned glad to have it.
There was something nice about
this girl. She seemed to be Laughing
at herself. She didn't glorify her job
the way 80 many girls did.
And she was in radio! She knew al!
the things that were wonderful and
exciting about it, and all the things
that were hard and Disappointing
and monotonous. Jerry could tell
her all the things about his old an
nouncer's job that he missed. and
all the things he planned to do IN
radio when this war was won. He
could really talk to this girl and she
would understand.
Then he remembered the role ne
was playing Better steer clear OF the

That must be very interesting,
he SAID. Just the way people used to

SAID to him when he wanted to talk
about home and Jerry wanted to talk
about radio.

she sounded really interested

"YoU'RE long way from home,

told her, using Chuck's latest ex-

sounded like a thing she wanted to
know, not just to ask.
So he told her about the house on
Elm Street, with the yard and the
big front porch. And he told her
about Center Street; about the
movie house and the way you some
times got pictures before they hit
New York; about the two drugstores
the one where you got drugs, the
other where you took your girl for

War Veterans SOUGHT
As Instructors for
High School Cadets
1900 Boys and 900 Girls
Expected to Be Enrolled
In Eight White Schools

Registration of an estimated 1,60O
boy cadets and 600 girl cadets began
In the eight white high schools today
as DR.. Chester w. Holmes, assistant
superintendent of schools, appealed
for men with military experience to
fill temporary vacancies for cadet
instructors at Western and Coolidge
High Schools.
The three colored high schools ex-
pect to register about $50 boy cadets
and about $50 girl cadets tomorrow.
The instructorships are all filled.
DR.. Holmes would like veterans Of
this war or older men with reserve
officer training to apply for the
Western and Coolidge positions, he
said, but stressed the temporary
nature of the jobs. About so per-
manent teachers will return from
war leave with enough military ex-
perience to qualify for the instruc-
torships, he said.
Employment of instructors with
actual military experience was de-
manded at a Board of Education
meeting recently by DR.. Robert A..
Maurer, vice president. and DR..
James A. Cannon, physician men,
ber.
The estimation Of about 1900
white boy cadets and about 600 COL
ored cadets is approximately the
same as last year, but the number
of girl cadets estimated represent
an increase of about 100 in each
group. DR.. Holmes said principals
now are watching the girls recruits
ment totals to see If the companies
should be organized city-wide under
one head as the boys are.
Started five years ago with one
company at Anacostia High School,
the girl cadets have increased rap
idly to II companies in six Of the
eight white high schools without
formal approval by the Board of
Education. Each principal governs
his own students with cooperation
only in two informal drills between
schools and in general adoption of
a blue gabardine uniform costing
$3.50. The girls drill about twice
a week-without rifles-and usher
at assemblies and plays.
Il think a city-wide girls organ
ization should be brought to the
board for Endorsement before it is
put into effect" DR.. Cannon said.
DR.. Maurer said he had expected
the enthusiasm for girl cadets might
die at the end of the war, and
would have to consider cost of the
uniform and other details care
fully before he decided on a per-
manent organization.
The colored girl cadets are also
run separately by the three prin-
cipals, but have been organized
under the High School Victory
Corps. The members tend babies
after hours, work in the library and
lunchroom, roll bandages for Freed
mems Hospital and visit the wards
in the hospitals. The uniform, also
blue gabardine, costs about $40.

To Further Art Interest

A temporary council to consider
establishment Of a chamber Of arts
to better care for art requirements
here was organized last night at a

cations considered proposals rang
ing from organization Of an arts
center foundation with a theater.
band shell and opera house to the
establishment of a better business
bureau Of arts to protect Washing
ton patrons from inferior art prof.
ects.
Opinions varied as to whether art
projects should be supported by Dis
trict organizations or Federal funds,
Warren Grimes. president of the
Arts Club, advocated congressional
legislation, declaring that obtaining
money from Washington organiza-
tions Is "a fruitless job" He also
suggested that law be passed per-
mitting music instruction only by
licensed teachers.
A centrally located band shell
where service bands could play free
OF charge was strongly supported by
Capt. w. F. Loventhal of the Navy
Band, and Maj. ALT Heiberg of the
Army Air Forces Bands as one Of
the primary needs of the city.
Mrs. Thomas Burke, head of the
Washington Chamber Music Guild,
proposed a music center to include
proper housing for chamber music
which now is almost lost in the too
large Continental Hall.
Other proposals included a ma
tional little theater, to be used as q
model for the whole Nation, and q
children's art center and theater.

4 Companies Lease Oil Rights
On Virginia Coastal Property

there. As to whether 1t Is there or
not your guess is as good as mine,
Mr.. Hodges said.
The companies understood to have
obtained leases in Princess Anne
County are Socony Vacuum, Stand
ard Of New Jersey. Gulf and the
James River Co.
Under the terms of most of these
leases the property owners receive
10 cents per acre per year, which
gives the oil company the right to
drill for petroleum, the owner using
his land In the meantime in his
usual manner. # and when oil is
discovered the property owner is to
receive one-eighth interest in all
that Is produced from his property.
It Is understood that virtually the
entire Eastern Shore Of Virginia and
Maryland have been covered by
leases
