livered a timely address, LAS One Lay
man to Others" DR.. G. D. Hancock, dis
trict superintendent of the Topeka Dis
trict, Central West Conference. delivered
the Mems Day sermon. Both the address
and sermon were helpful and inspiring.
The climax of the service came when
sixty men came to the altar at the in
vitation of the pastor, Rev. Clarence T.
r. Nelson, for conservation after the SER
mon. DR.. Hancock, who is the secretary
of visual aids of the St. Louis Area, took
moving pictures of the people who at
tended the service.
James H. Rideaux, the charge lay leader
and associate general chairman for the
Mems Day Observance, presided at the
program at 6 80 pm. Prof. R. Nelson
Barber was at the organ. DR.. Hancock
showed motion pictures that he had taken
of several churches the Central Jurisdic-
tional Conference held in Greensboro, N. c.,
Central Leadership Training School held
in Atlanta, Ga, and Waveland, Mississippi
and the St. Louis Area Council. Our
pastor was prominent in many scenes
shown by DIR. Hancock. The financial re-
port for the day showed that a total
of $273.15 had been raised for all pur-
poses during the day and that the men had
raised more money than the women had
on Women's day, when a total of $263.54
was raised. Mrs. Ruth Addison, formerly
of the New Light Baptist Church, Baton
Rouge, La, Joined the church. Rev. Nell
son will preach the first of a series of
sermons on the Bible next Sunday at the
IL am. service.-Reporter.

Against SWindlers
Veterans Warned

Veterans are warned against the
legion of swindlers who look upon
"Many a soldier has in his pock-
cts his back pay, plus travel ex-
penses home, plus part of his mus
tering-out pay. Soldiers and
sailors and their families have more
than thirty billion dollars in war
bonds, plus enormous savings in
banks, plus the privilege, under
the CT Bill of Rights, of having
loans up to $4,000 guaranteed by
the government"
the returned soldier as an easy
mark, by William Trufant Foster
in the S2-page pamphlet, GYPS
AND SWINDLES, published today
by the Public Affairs Committee of
New York.
'Never before" DR.. Foster points
out, 'have swindlers seen so much
money almost within their grasp"
Veterans, as we'll as others "for
let no man fancy that he is safe
from gyp schemes"-are warned
by this new Public Affairs Pamph-
let to watch out for such swindles
as partnership rackets, territorial
rights" for a patented product,
fake schools, and the plantation
racket that promises life of ease
on the income from "your golden
orange grove"
Apparently we like to be fooled,
for gyps and swindles mulct the
public of more than a hundred
million dollars a year, we are told.
Of the more than five hundred
frauds that the Better Business
Bureaus have run down, DR.. Foster
explains some of the most popular
and most effective: repair rack
cts, door-to-door deceivers, lucky
charms, tricky advertising, illegal
m on e ylending, get-rich-q u c k
schemes ranging from fur farms to
oil gushers, and "still more ways
Of losing your money"
One by one, the danger signs are
pointed out on the many adver-
tised roads to health, riches, and

HORSESHOE CRAB
1AO1 O1UJ11J14OI N1N4iD
i1rl1Il1LS rl0l1L1lh ofrlue


The horseshoe crab is well known
all along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts from Maine to Mexico. 1t
lives on sandy and muddy shores
below the loW-Water mark. where
1t burrows just beneath the surface.
Many know the Horseshoe as the
king-crab. The peculiar-s
carapace. or upper shell, resembles
horseshoe when it is empty and
inverted. But this crab is interest,"
ing because it is the last survivor
of an otherwise extinct group OF
animals. 1t is related to other
classes that have become fossils.
And now, since it is in a class by il
it with existing forms. Once, it was
considered crustacean: TODAY.
some scientists think it should be
claSsed with the scorpions and
spiders 1t has characteristics Of
both groups.
During May. June and July, ac-
cording to the temperature, Nine.
Horseshoe and her spouse come
more openingly on the beach. She
is seeking a sandy spot exposed to
the direct rays Of the sun for her
eggs.
Her mate, being much smaller and
less speedy on his feet, rides upon
her back. He holds on by his short
feet. which are provided with nip
pers.
/ Upon reaching the desired spot.
the male stands by, observing the
swift actions of his mate in pre-
pairing the pocket for the eggs. Aft
er they are laid. he covers them
with a blanket of milt. Then both
return to the water. Sand is washed
over the eggs by the tide In July.
the eggs hatch into a lively group
of horseshoe crabs with but one
thing in their minds-to get close
to the water for food and a place
to hide. They do not show up again
until well grown.
For the adults, it is moulting sea-
son. Upon the beach may be seen
many empty shells They make ex-
cellent containers for smaller shells,
as many of them are IL inches in
diameter
