Alleys Not Always SIums

That ought to be an interesting hearing
on Monday, when the Commissioners hear
testimony on the pros and cons of literal en-
forcement of the old alley dwelling law Here
Is the pertinent part of the statute:
On and after July /, 1914 it shall be
unlawful to use or occupy any alley building
or structure a dwelling in the District
of Columbia.
Congress extended that deadline to 1945,
then to 1916, and new law extended it to
July l, 1855 But in the meantime some of the
old dwellings located in "alleys" or courts, have
been transformed. The conditions which made
them slums, the real target of the old alley
dwellings, have been removed. Some of the
"aney dwellings" today are up-to-date and
attractive residences, as pictures in The Star
have shown, bearing no resemblance to the
structures which the law sought to remove.
The purpose of the original law, and it was
disease and crime infested slum areas, lacking
decent toilet and other facilities; and these
conditions were notorious in the old alleys"
If these have been got rid of, and in some
cases they have been, the purpose of the law has
been accomplished by other means The pur-
pose of the law should stand But the arbitrary
provisions of the law should be sensibly changed.
can be a more sensible method of eliminating
slurns than tearing down old houses and build
ing new ones. 1t is not the houses or the loca-
tions. but the people who live in them, that
create sums.

EIectronic Revolution

Veritable revolution in manufacture OF
such complex electronc devices as radar, tele-
vision radio and brains" for guided missiles is
foreseen with disclosure of details of hereto
fore hush-hush military project dubbed Tinker
toy" The name is not inappropriate, for
electronic experts of the Navy's Bureau of Aero
nautics and of the National Bureau of Standards
have been doing lot of tinkering with toylike
ceramic waters during their experiments. The
result is process of building electronic circuits
reduced to such a simple form as to permit
mass production of even the most intricate
circuits. What this may mean in reduced manu-
featuring and repair costs for all types OF
electronic equipment, including TV, is matter
for free-for-all speculation.
Any one who has seen the undersides of
television SET with its maze of wires, resistors
capacitors and other gadgets, can appreciate
the time and skill required to install and solder
all the components. The Navy and Standards
technicianS with the cooperation OF Industrial
experts, tackled the seemingly insuperable task
of eliminating most of these wires and gadgets
From preliminary announcements, 1t appears
that this has been achieved through printed"
circuits, resistorS and capacitorS Impressed on
small discs, arrayed in stacks. Once the right
pattern for particular disc has been DEVISED
quantity production is easy. Then it becomes
necessary only to assemble the discs in proper
relation to one another make the necessary
electrical connections with the tubes and the
set is ready for testing and operation. When
a circuit breaks down, all that is required is
replacement of the faulty wafer or waters by
new ones.
What effect this new development will have
on the radio and television industry can only
be guessed. The Navy has offered the process
to the industry without charge. Any change
over from the present circuits and equipment is
apt to be slow one, for the industry is we'll
stocked with conventional parts and is geared
to manual hookup methods. But the Govern
ments mass production system is sure to appeal
to future entrants in the highly competitive
radio and TV field. new era of electronic
production on rapid assembly-line scale may
be dawning.

the night. My mother had to rustic
a $500 bond to keep me out of jail
for making Is miles an hour on Con-
necticut avenue. Today that would be
obstructing traffic. My car gave trouble
at Fourteenth street, between G and
New York avenue, and 1 pushed it
over the sidewalk and into the mar
row space between two buildings where
it remained for three days. The paper
I found on the windshield was not
from the police but spoke thus: please
get this rattle-trap away so we can
deliver packages. Merchants Transfer"
So the laws have changed a little,
but not enough. My complaint is that
with all the hue and cry about con-
gestion, if one feels he is contributing
to it's relief by leaving his car idle
several days, five miles from the
White House where there is no de-
mand for space, he will get ticket
every 18 hours and finally his car will
be towed away. "A parked car never
killed anybody" and you are as apt

Sales Tox

SuISS UA
Your September II editorial, "Stop
Look and Listen" says that if a sales
tax should be blocked, if proposed in
Congress some very important ques-
tions will remain unanswered, asSum-
ing, take it, that the scheduled re-
ductionS in income taxes go through.
The editorial ends with this question:
Does this mean that economies must
be instituted at the price of sabotaging
the national defense, or does it mean
that the outlook is for newer and bigger
deficitS?" If these are the two alterna-
tives, then may / point out that the
question is not unanswered. For how
can one doubt that the present admin
iStration, or any other administration
which che American people would have
considered worthy of election, will not
institute economies at the price of
sabotaging the national defense? The
second alternative must then be the
answer, though the newer inevitable
deficits need not be bigger. Would this
be reason for despair? Not if history
is a guide. Some 20 years of deficits
failed to ruin the country and, on the
contrary, left it in the strongest eco
nomic position anywhere any time.
Deficits are inflationary, while the
dominant apprehension now is of recess
sion. If one cancels the other, who
could ask for anything better?

this memorable night and says,
1--WE know thou art a teacher
sent from Cod" And then Jesus
answers him in a peculiar way,
almost aS though He was ignor-
ing Nicodemus' statement. Jesus
says, Verify, Verify, | say unto
THEE, except a man be born
from above, he cannot see the
kingdom of God" In other words
Jesus is telling Nicodemus that
he is being too general. Nicod-
emus says, "We know!" Jesus
says, "Nicodemus, Salvation is a
personal matter; just as personal
as your first birth"
The reason for the necessity
for the New Birth is that we are
all born wrong the first time.
In the third and fourth chapters
of John, Jesus talks with two
entirely different types of in
dividuals. In John 3, ii is to a
man at the very top of the
moral, ethical, social and religi-
Gus ladder. In the fourth chap
ter Jesus is talking with a wom-
am who is guilty of adultery and

is at the very bottom Of the NOR
al, ethical, social, and religious
ladder. And yet to both the same
requirement for Eternal Life is
presented, proving to us that
sincerely, religion, morality, and
high social position, is insuffici-
ent to bring us Eternal Life.
What is this New Birth since
it is 50 vitally necessary? First,
let me answer it in the negative
since there are 50 many sub
stitutes offered in its place.
Salvation is NOT living a good
life. If it were just a matter of
a good life then perfection is
demanded since God is perfect
and this is more than just good
ness. God says in Romans 3:20
therefore by the deeds Of the
Law there shall no flesh be justi-
fled, and in Ephesians 2:8 For
by Grace are ye saved thru
faith"

But we find that Jesus gives us
the final word on just what the
New Birth really is and how it
is provided in John 3:16 and
John 5:24, Verify, Verify l say
unto thee, he that heareth my
Word and believeth on him that

in trespasses and sins. And a
dead person cannot do any
thing for himself but help must
come from one who has life,
Jesus Christ.

THE NEW BIRTH

An Exposition of John 3, S. :
In Johns Gospel we have the
Lord Jesus Christ holding a
unique conversation with man
very high in religious circles.
The conversation was unusual in
that it brings before us the fact
in a striking way that religion
does not meet the need Of a man
who is sincere in his desire TO
make sure of his personal Saliva
ton.
We discover in the converse
ton with Nicodemus that even
ing hour that he was a teacher
of the Scriptures, ruler in
Israel, and a member of the
strictest religious group in
Israel the Pharisees. Yet with
all of that background he real
lied that there was something
lacking in his life that was not
bringing him the peace and salts
faction for which he was long
ing. So he comes to Jesus on

The day Caldwells new"
court house was dedicated was
hot, summer day at the height
of the string bean harvest in
1884, if I recall correctly. The
crowd was huge, with just about
all of the Noble county folks
swarming into town, with out
siders coming from as far away
as Newcomerstown.
l spent the day, a mighty long
day, as waiter in the Home
Restaurant, directly across the
street from the court houses

if l recall correctly and l think

everyone who came TO the de-

ception of Jones Rowlands.
