The CLERGY SPEAK

It's often an impressive sight to
see some large ships come into
the harbor. They are so massive,
It's hard to believe they were de-
signed by men. Thousands of tons
of material have been brought to-
gether to form a product which
impresses us with its tremendous
bulk.sWe wonder how some thing
which is so big. and complicated
can at the same time be so sym
metrical and graceful. Looking at
those ships from any angle, we
see hey actually have. delicate
and graceful lines. The engineers
were precisely accurate in every
detail. The ship is symmetrical,
delicate and graceful because it is
complete. 1t was designed and
constructed accurately for a pur-
pose. 1t is a complete unit-no
part was ignored.
This is the engineers parable
for Christians. 1t is a truth which
st. Paul sets forth in one of his
letters. He asks Christian people
to keep in mind the ideal of Gods
design for their living. He urges
us to keep alive that fellowship
which will enable us to grow to-
ward the complete design for
which God has created us. For
God hath not called us unto n
cleanes, but unto holiness"
Holiness is another word for
Wilderness, and to become holy is
to approach the completeness of
life for which we were designed.

Policy. Number
Rockets Folding

Cleveland (NNPA) - Signs that
the big policy and numbers games
are folding were evident here last
Thursday as the new federal tax
law took effect, but Safety Direc-
tor Alvin ]. Sutton predicted that
the suspension of business would
not be for long.
Numbers Boss Joe Allen joined
Policy Boss Buster Matthews in
saying he would quit.
Matthews, Cleveland's policy
racket boss, announced last Tues
day night that the new federal
tax law, taking "a 10 per cent bite
of all bets and requiring a $50
yearly occupational tax, would
force him to close his 81, ,0OO,0OO-a-
year lottery business.
Matthews, who runs the most
profitable numbers houses here,
predicted also that fellow policy
men would follow suit and quit.
Bookmaking establishments were
reported to be doing only 5 per
cent of normal business. The big
numbers houses also had folded
last Thursday. Only here and
there were writer's taking bets on
one of the minor numbers games.
"rt's only temporary, that's
what the police think" reported a
seasoned observer of gambling ups
and downs.
cat least 700 old, sick and Grip
pled-up policy writer's will be
without jobs" Matthews lamented.
There II be no place but relief for
them to CO."
Matthews announcement was in
line with reports from other cities
throughout the country as book
making, numbers and policy oper-
ations were reeling under the i'm
pact of the new tax law.

Policy Rockets
Are Folding Up

In Pittsburgh, the big numbers
operators were saying they would
quit. A $4,000 weekly lottery in
San Francisco folded.
In Cleveland, it began to look
as if the policy rackets, not the
bookies, were the worst off in the
face of the new tax law.
Matthews report of the serious
blow to his business was backed
by opinions and information of
seasoned Cleveland police, who had
heard from Matthews competitors
houses as we'll.
II don't have any of the papers
and I don't want any of EN-" said
Matthews.
'ThiS business has got everyone
out here who writes and plays
games sick, just SICK" he added.
They're sick, and I'm sick"
Matthews has cried before of
the way expenses have eaten up
profits of his New Goldfield, Old
Kentucky and r. and B. policy
businesses.
The 58-year old kingpin of the
policy racket said the business just
could not stand the 10 per cent bite
along with putting hundreds of
writer's on public record as work.
ing for a lottery.
Writers now receive 25 per cent
of their gross bets, Matthews, ex-
planned, and "a 5 per cent tip on
winning policy bets.
"On top of that Is per cent"
he said, "the game cannot stand "a
10 per cent take of the gross"
''These writer's haven't got a
dime," he continued. "Where does
anybody think they are going to
get that $50 to pay for that
stamp?"

No Market AS Yet For
Federal Gambling Stamps

Chicago (NNPA) =, John T.
Jarecki, Collector of Internal Re-
venue, found himself with several
thousand Federal occupation tax
stamps for gamblers last Thurs
day and a very slow market for
them.
Only one boOkie came in with
1884 to purchase stamp for the
remainder of the fiscal year.
Jarecki took his money and issued
a receipt. He refused to identify
the gambler until the stamp is de-
livered to him in a day or two.
Jarecki explained that the In
ternal Revenue Bureau in Wash
ington sent him so many stamps
it would take a couple of days to
count them and establish some
kind of inventory control Until
this is done, he said, no stamps
would be sold.
Policy wheel operators were
closing down to take a vacation
while they studied the law. The
few wheels that were operating
were charging II cents for 10 cent
tickets in order to pay the 10 per
cent cut on all play. Many of the
numbers players were resentful
that the tax was passed along di-
rectly to them.
The policy runners also must
have the stamps, but so far none
have been sold to them. Under the
law they must have the stamps
before November 30 or be subject
to a $1,000 fine.

New York City = "The Three
Voices" present initial concert =
and so it was that select group
of listeners was privileged to hear
Mary Chandler, Florence Brost,
and Lemuel Lanier = this group,
"The Three Voices" Sunday eve
ming, October 28th at the Mount
Zion Parish House, 45th and Con-
vent Ave-, when they offered works
of some of the great composers of
the classical era.
Young artists who are still in
the midst Of discovering their art
can usually be depended upon to
give inspiring performances. This
may be due to the fact that their
search for the correct interpreta-
ton of a thought rmood, being
still incomplete, compells the lis
tener to enter into the scene in
more active manner than he
would with a finished artist who
does all for the passive. listener.
You must listen sharply and also,
perhaps, with measured amount
of tolerence toward the incom-
plete, lest you destroy the subtle
beauty of the artistry which is
developing among these young ar
lists through time and toll.
The angelic coloratura quality
of Mary. Chandler's voice contrast
ed dramatically with the rich and
resonant quality of the regal Flor
ence Brost. Miss Chandler's deli
cate and sensitive Interpretation
of Tu Lo Sal by Torelli, at the
beginning of the program, touched
the audience with a gentle per-
suasion and led softly and lovingly
toward the heavier selections of
the evening. Although possibly
through nervousness, Miss Chand-
ler's pitch was not always perfectly
true, the beautiful quality of her
voice in the lighter selections made
you almost overlook the fact.
Future greatness was present in
Miss Brost's performance from be-
ginning to end. A dramatic con-
tralto, she offers all the depth
and pathos which belongs exclu-
sively to singers of this particular
vocal range. Her portrayal of Don
izetti's o Milo Fernando was par
ticularly we'll done. 1t was un-
the highest point of her
performance.

AMONG THE H0MEMAKERS

Several calls have come into the
Extension Office asking about
whether it is necessary to scald
corn or beans before freezing be-
cause the women had heard some
man over the radio, who claims
to be a nutritionist, state that it
was unnecessary. The Agent
called authorities on the subject
Of freezing and received from one
of them the results of an expert
ment carried out by the Mime
sofa Experiment Station scien-
fists. This article warns each
woman who is freezing on the
need for scalding vegetables and
reasons.
Is Scalding Necessary?
"Do vegetables need preheating
as part of their preparation for
freezing if they'll be used within
a short time?" This question Of
ten comes to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and State expert
r1ent stations. Farm housewives
especially are interested in avoid
ing any unnecessary work in pre-
serving vegetables by freezing.
When there's a heavy load of
green beans ready in the garden,
isn't it possible to package and
freeze without taking time to pre-
heat, cool and drain? What about
freezing corn in the husk just as
it comes from the garden?
Minnesota Experiment Station
scientists received so many in
quiries of this sort that they made
tests of three vegetables which
frequently ''mature all at once
asparagus, green beans and corn.
One lot of each vegetable was pre-
pared by the recommended scald-
ing. The other lot was frozen
without preheating. Ears of corn

done at 10 F. below zero by stor-
age at zero F.
All the vegetables frozen with
cut preheating developed off-fla-
vors within a month, but those
scalded in advance showed little if
any change. The unscalded green
beans and asparagus lost their al
tractive color as we'll as their good
flavor.
Unscalded asparagus developed

Unscalded green beans showed
little change during freezing but
deteriorated in storage SO that
they were unpalatable in three
weeks, and inedible in four weeks.
Corn in the husk was unpalatable
by the time it was frozen and corn
husked and packaged but not pre-.
heated changed flavor in one
week. The scientists conclude:

preparing most vegetables for

Jelly is said to "weep" when
juice oozes from it. Scientists re-
fer to this condition as synersis.
Synersis seems to be related to
the quality of the pectin and 20
the amount of acid in certain
fruits. There is at present little
the home Gamer can do about it
except to be careful to cook the
syrup until a good jelly test is
given and to be sure that the glass
above the jelly is clean before
covering the jelly with paraffin.
1t is also important to avoid a
thick, heavy layer of paraffin.
